Chapter 639: Chapter 415: Go Dig Diamonds_3

Feng Yi turned his head to signal Jia.

Jia pulled out several banknotes and pushed them towards Mark.

Mark smoothly took the money and cleared his throat, "I don’t recommend that tourists from other places visit their mine. That mine doesn’t produce diamonds anymore, it has changed hands several times, and now the business model is different. They advertise a lot online, but in reality, they haven’t been able to dig out diamonds for a long time. Those that appear in the promotional videos, um, are just for show."

They’re diamonds deliberately placed by the people of the mine, staging the event to scam tourists like you!

Feeling that one shouldn’t sell off local mineral resources completely for money, Mark said, "Actually, some tourists are aware of this, but they believe that even if the mine is fraudulent and deliberately throws bait into it, as long as they find something, even a tiny piece of diamond, that’s still money. Isn’t it, boss?"

"The mine owner wants to make money, and the tourists want to have an experience—it’s a mutual pursuit of joy!"

"Life, ah, don’t take it too seriously."

Feng Yi chuckled, "Are the things being thrown into the mine really diamonds?"

"Should be," Mark said, lifting his cup to drink some water.

Feng Yi gestured to Jia again.

With practiced ease, Jia drew out a few more banknotes.

Mark set down his water cup and once again smoothly accepted the banknotes, his face brimming with a smile:

"There are real diamonds, but those are limited to the advertisements. Other times, I believe they throw other things into it, such as broken glass from the bar, loads of stones gathered from the riverside... um, to add a touch of intrigue."

Excited tourists think they’ve found something, but upon examination, they realize it’s glass. I must say, it’s quite an exciting experience, and indeed, quite entertaining."

However, Feng Yi’s focus wasn’t on these amusing diversions, but rather on the pause Mark had just made.

"Besides the glass and stone debris, what else have they thrown into the mine?" Feng Yi asked.

Mark continued to drink his tea.

Jia continued to take out banknotes.

Mark, wary, glanced around, then looked at the empty plate in front of Feng Yi, and seeing no one else dining at the table, continued:

"They throw anything in. Minor things, a bit hard, like small particles resembling stones stuck in mud—you can’t tell what they are when digging, only during the washing process can you separate the diamonds from the other matter."

"Most tourists only experience the dig-for-diamonds activity, taking what they find to be washed, rather than sifting for diamonds directly in the mud and water. So sometimes, when they find harder particles, they might be mistaken."

"According to information I’ve heard and can confirm, the things people throw into the mine include, but are not limited to, gallstones, decayed teeth, dried skin flakes, and so on."

Cai Bing... Cai Bing felt like vomiting.

Feng Yi was also keeping a straight face.

Mark asked, "So, do you still want to go now, boss?"

Feng Yi: "I’ll go have a look first."

Mark: "...Okay."

You’re the boss when you pay.

Once they had decided on the itinerary, Feng Yi asked Jia to go rent a car.

Jia had a reservation already, so he could just bring the car over.

While waiting for the car, Mark didn’t just sit around; he continued to expand his business, promoting the seaside tourist area to Feng Yi.

For corresponding hotels, Mark could get a bonus, especially when bringing in clients who seemed to have a bit of money—the bonus was even higher.

Mark enthusiastically said, "Boss, do you live by the sea? No? Oh, then you could have a really good experience. The seaside here offers a completely different view from the jungle. Our beaches are unique, and we even offer private services. You can enjoy your own private beach..."

Feng Yi: "I own an island."

Mark: "..."

My apologies!

He thought this employer was just a bit rich, not realizing that he was a magnate! Judging from his age, was he a second-generation wealthy individual, a third-generation one, or perhaps from some aristocratic family?

Probably just wealthy, without a particularly prominent status—his entourage wasn’t very grandiose.

While considering this, Mark continued warmly, smiling:

"Then let me tell you a joke!"

Since there was no temptation in material things, why not offer a little bit of emotional relief?

"You all know, coming from out of town, that we have a lot of rainforests around here. Even if you’re not in the rainforest, you can often see snakes. There are two typical kinds of hunting skills snakes have: constriction and venom."

"Those with strong constriction, like pythons, are representative. For venomous types, cobras and the like.

"But boss, do you know why those snakes with incredibly strong constriction don’t have venom? Or why those with deadly venom don’t have strong constriction? Even the king cobra can’t compare to those that specialize in constriction skills when it comes to the same body size."

Mark paused skillfully.

Seeing everyone looking at him and all attention focused on himself, Mark was pleased with this reaction.

With Feng Yi remaining silent, Cai Bing replied, "A snake only needs one of those skills to survive. It doesn’t need both."

Mark: "But why isn’t there a snake with both skills at the top level? Why isn’t there such an invincible being?!"

Mark seriously asked, "Can you imagine, if a snake had both strong constriction and deadly venom, would it use constriction first when hunting, or the venom?"

As he spoke, Mark began to laugh "hahaha."

"The hunting moment is so brief, it doesn’t have time to think!

"Constriction or venom, by the time it decides, the prey would have long gone!"

Cai Bing also laughed "hahaha."

Feng Yi showed no expression.

Ding stood quietly to the side, his face seemingly inscribed with: Big courage!
