Chapter 644: Chapter 418 Colored Diamond_1

The stone, mixed with mud and water, was washed in the water again, revealing its original appearance.

"Blue?"

Feng Yi looked at the obviously blue, translucent stone in his hand.

It looked like a colored glass brick that had been shattered, heavy in his hand. Very tactile.

The surface was not smooth, but rough and uneven. The overall shape was somewhat flat, clearly not a complete crystal structure, but rather a fragment of a larger crystal.

As far as Feng Yi could tell, this was the only piece of its kind nearby.

As for why there was only part of a large crystal left now...

Well, perhaps it had been used up.

The rough diamond in his hand had likely been buried here for a long time.

This mine, after its transformation, had clearly been renovated in the washing area, greatly expanded near the river, and this was one of the expanded areas. Due to the increase in tourist traffic, the mine would also perform regular clean-ups here.

Even without Feng Yi, this blue, translucent stone would have been found by someone one day.

Feng Yi simply brought its debut forward.

Its ownership was also going to be determined ahead of schedule.

Feng Yi looked at the blue stone in his hand and thought, Ah, this is what my ancestors used to pave the ground in my dreams...

"Diamond!!!"

A scream, sharp like a wild rooster crowing, came from not far away.

It was from a diamond prospector nearby, still wearing a cap from his tour group.

Many people nearby went quiet at his shout, and all eyes turned in his direction.

Even those who were dozing off in the shade to escape the sun, wilted by the heat, sat up startled, their attention snapping into focus, eyes sharp.

Then they saw Feng Yi, almost half submerged in water, with one hand holding a blue, translucent object.

After a moment of silence.

"Hahaha—"

Those looking this way burst into laughter.

"This must be a modern industrial product, right? How did it get broken like this?"

Mistaking pieces of glass or crystal items for diamonds had happened too often.

The person who had just shouted felt quite embarrassed. He was searching for diamonds and had just seen the young man pick something up from the water.

At first, he thought the young man was unlucky, stubbing his toe on a stone in the water. He was internally criticizing the mine’s workers for their laziness; the place hadn’t been cleaned for so long and was filthy.

But soon, as the young man lifted and cleaned the stone, he thought, Could this thing possibly be a diamond?!

Excited, he blurted out.

Forgive his ignorance; he lacked the common knowledge and experience in this field.

"Hey, got a bit carried away there, sorry everyone," he said apologetically.

But the others did not stop there, and someone egged on:

"Scratch it, test its hardness, see if it’s a diamond!"

"You can directly ask a mine appraiser to help identify it, they are working right now."

"To identify whether it’s a jewelry-grade modern craft or not? Hahaha!"

The washing area erupted in chaos with the tourists.

Too fake! That can’t be a diamond!

There’s no such thing as a huge colored diamond!!!

While the crowd was laughing and joking, Feng Yi had already come out of the water. He responded with a polite smile to all the teasing, whether good-natured or malicious, and even replied, "Right, planning to get it checked by a mine appraiser."

In the eyes of most tourists, behind the sunglasses Feng Yi was wearing, there must have been a very embarrassed look.

As Feng Yi got up to leave, a portion of the tourists in the washing area followed him.

Since they hadn’t found any diamonds so far, they might as well go have a look.

Some wanted to strike up a conversation, others were there for the excitement, while a few took out their phones to record a video, likely thinking of sharing it online for a laugh later.

Every year, with the tourist projects in the diamond mines, the tourists dug up various strange objects more than actual precious finds, and posting videos online brought them plenty of attention.

Jia and Ding had already quickly come over, flanking Feng Yi on both sides.

Mark and Cai Bing followed closely behind.

Cai Bing hadn’t taken it seriously at first, but now, Mark, who had been chattering beside him, was unusually silent.

So Cai Bing asked, "What are you thinking?"

Mark shook his head, not saying anything.

At the moment, Mark just felt a throbbing in his forehead, a premonition that something big was about to happen.

He looked again at Feng Yi ahead.

This mysterious young employer, with an odd air of contradiction about him, kept Mark guessing. Every time he thought he had figured it out, the next moment another layer of fog obscured his view, and his initial thoughts were overturned, unclear.

At this moment, Mark’s first reaction was the same as everyone else’s — he didn’t believe it was a raw diamond, but then an absurd, unbelievable idea popped into his head.

The most improbable voice at the bottom of his heart was screaming wildly.

Mark’s breathing grew heavy.

What if?

What if it really was a diamond?

Looking around, when his gaze swept over the mine’s security guards, the blood that had just begun to boil in Mark chilled instantly.

If what the employer held was truly a diamond, there was going to be trouble!

Finding diamonds here was fine if they were small, but not the large ones, which couldn’t be taken out!

At that moment, Mark really wanted to grab his employer’s feet and stop him.

No! This wasn’t the time to go through these steps!

He should have run off with it immediately!

Just let them all think you’re holding a piece of broken glass!

Wait until you’re out of here and safe, then find someone to appraise it, right?!

Up ahead, the number of onlookers had grown.

The tourists mining in the area, seeing the commotion, inquired around.
