Chapter 638: Chapter 415: Go Dig Diamonds_2

Cai Bing affirmed, "I have done research on the local history and culture. Although I am not a professional, given enough time, I can definitely collect information that will satisfy you!"

Feng Yi thought that was feasible, as his trip was not specifically to study the history and culture. It would be fine to let Cai Bing collect some information.

So Feng Yi said, "The scope doesn’t need to be too broad. Start with searching for information related to ancient riverbeds."

An ancient riverbed refers to the path a river once took before it changed its course.

In other words, that place is not a riverbed now, but it once was a long time ago.

Cai Bing promptly took on this task.

Searching solely for ancient riverbeds was relatively simple; he could seek out experts in this area to gather information.

The client is really into research. I wonder what he discovered in the rainforest to be interested in ancient riverbeds.

Two days later.

Feng Yi, well-rested and well-fed, received the ancient riverbed information that Cai Bing had gathered.

In the past two days, Cai Bing had consulted with experts in hydraulic and river dynamics, gathering all this data. Time was limited, and that was all he could manage to collect, but if the client had further requests, he could fulfill them as well.

Feng Yi quickly skimmed through the information, picking out a few documents to examine more closely.

He was merely curious about where his ancestors, who had once been to this area, were most likely to have roamed.

When in his original form, he preferred to stay near riverbeds in the forest and its surroundings. He wondered if his ancestors had done the same.

Reviewing the ancient riverbed data, Feng Yi silently compared it with the places he had visited in the rainforest.

[I’ve been here.]

[Ah, I’ve also been to this place; I never realized it was an ancient riverbed! Now, you can’t tell at all!]

[This river still exists, but it’s just a small stream now, not as wide as described in the documents.]

The information might not be entirely accurate; it’s just for reference.

Feng Yi wasn’t too serious about it, just curious since he was already there.

Cai Bing, who was quietly waiting on the side, saw Feng Yi looking through the ancient riverbed data and had an idea. During the two days of information gathering, he also heard some discussions.

Hence, Cai Bing tentatively said, "Many mining areas are related to ancient riverbeds, and there are several diamond mines locally."

Feng Yi looked up.

Cai Bing, energized, continued, "It’s not exactly a novelty. If we look back a few decades, there were even more mines, and illegal mining was rampant. It was only later that regulations tightened and many depleted mines were shut down due to no more yield. Those still in operation are seeking ways to transform."

Feng Yi was curious, "Transform?"

Cai Bing nodded and said, "The closed mines, some have become tourist sites, others are used for different purposes. The ones still open, some have chosen to open to tourists. Since the mines could no longer turn profits and were being hit hard by regulatory agencies and some social organizations, it was difficult to operate, so this idea came about."

While speaking, Cai Bing took out his phone, opened a tourism-related app, clicked on one of the pages, and handed it to Feng Yi:

"Experience diamond digging; just pay the entry fee, and any diamonds you dig up, you can take home, the mine even provides certification. It’s all legally acquired. This kind of tourism project is quite popular. Many people come here and try it out. If they dig up diamonds, the trip can pay for itself."

Feng Yi was genuinely interested, "Dig for diamonds? Can you really find them?"

Seeing the client’s interest, Cai Bing eagerly shared all the information he had learned, including details about the large and small mines where this activity was available.

"It is said that some tourists have found diamonds, but most come away empty-handed, just for the experience. Brother Yi, if you’re interested, I can find someone local who is more familiar with this kind of tourist project to inquire."

"Alright, find someone."

Cai Bing stepped out to make the call.

Before long, a young man about twenty years old came over.

Cai Bing had already briefed Feng Yi on his identity information.

The man’s name was Mark, with Ma as his surname. He was of mixed ancestry from three countries and could speak four languages. His grandfather was from Hua country.

Mark was young but proficient at his job, usually leading tourists to various mines for the diamond-digging experience.

The meeting was set at an outdoor restaurant. Feng Yi wore sunglasses, which prevented Mark from recognizing him.

Having seen many people, and only glimpsed the news on the internet, his impression was not deep, and he found Feng Yi’s appearance only slightly familiar. That was all; there were too many people who looked similar. And here, six out of ten people were wearing sunglasses.

The outdoor sunlight was too brilliant.

At this moment, all Mark could think about was completing his task, as it involved his remuneration.

Mark directly opened a map of mine sites and recommended a few to Feng Yi that were not too far. These mines were not large, but the tourist experience was considered good, and there were indeed tourists who had been lucky enough to find diamonds.

Listening to his presentation and comparing it with the ancient riverbed data and maps, and reflecting on the scenes from his dream visions, Feng Yi pointed to another site: "What about this mine?"

Mark paused and lowered his voice, "This mine is a medium-sized operation, a bit larger than the ones I’ve just mentioned, but the experience might not necessarily be better than those."

As for the rest, he said no more, preferring discretion.

Cai Bing subtly signaled to Feng Yi.

The local operators followed local customs and rules, which Cai Bing had previously explained to Feng Yi.
