Chapter 1263 Picking up Gems

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a bright ruby ​​lying on the red ground among the mottled gravel. This ruby ​​is bigger than an egg, and the color is extremely bright, without a single flaw in it. The entire crystal is intact, emitting a dazzling red light!

"What a beautiful gem!" Chen Mengqi was the first to exclaim. As a girl, it seems that she is born with no resistance to jewelry, diamonds and other crystals.

"And it's so big, it's unique!" Lan Yudie also said.

"Now that we are prosperous, how much does such a big ruby ​​cost!" said the fat man. Unlike the girls, when he and Xiao Fei saw gems, the first thing he thought of was to sell them for money.

"It is only a little smaller than the largest ruby ​​on the earth, but its shape is more perfect." Lan Yudie said, "In the last century, people discovered a huge ruby ​​weighing 1,700 carats in Myanmar. , is regarded as the world's top priceless treasure. But that one is in the shape of a mountain, not as beautiful as this one."

"The shape is in the shape of a mountain, which proves that it is a natural product and has not been processed. But this one seems to have been carefully polished, otherwise the shape could not be so perfect, as if it was inlaid on the ring. However, the ring The inlaid ones won't be so big, it's really strange." Chen Mengqi said.

"Then how much is it worth?" asked the fat man.

"The larger the individual gemstone, the more perfect the crystal, the higher the price. It does not mean that diamonds are more expensive than rubies and emeralds. The price of gemstones has little to do with the type. Good rubies and emeralds are often worth hundreds of millions. There are things. And this ruby, asking a price of one billion should not be a problem." Lan Yudie said.

"Wait!" Xiao Fei said suddenly, "This ruby ​​should not be inlaid on the ring, nor is it natural. I can feel the violent fire element from the ruby. It should be a Western magician who inlaid it. Things on the magic wand can strengthen the power of fire magic."

"It's actually used by magicians!? Magicians have been to Mars?" Everyone was surprised.

"What do you think? It is impossible for natural gemstones to be so beautifully shaped. I think it is because this magician went to Mars to practice one day, but was not killed by some unknown monster. The magic staff was weathered, and only this The ruby ​​is still there. We were lucky to pick it up."

"It seems that the magician has been dead for many years, and this ruby ​​has become an ownerless thing. Since we picked it up, it is ours." Lan Yudie said.

"En." Xiao Fei nodded, "Put away the rubies first, but don't sell them when you return to Earth. Firstly, it will shock the world if you take them to the public auction, and secondly, your family is not short of money."

"I didn't intend to sell it at all." Lan Yudie said. After speaking, he picked up the ruby ​​and happily put it in his pocket, and they continued to move forward.

It didn't take long before I came to a canyon. The canyon was so big that I couldn't see the end at a glance. Everywhere was barren, without any sign of life. At the front of the canyon, there is a small mountain range. The mountain range is also bare, and there is a circular depression on the top, which looks like a volcano.

Lake said that the geology on Mars is not active, so there is no need to worry about volcanic eruptions. But everything is not absolute, what if it erupts? Since it is a volcano, it means that it has erupted before.

"Look, everyone, there are good things again!" This time, Chen Mengqi was the first to discover it.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw shiny things everywhere in the pile of gravel in front of them. One by one scattered on the ground, exuding dazzling brilliance, very conspicuous. It's like the stars in the sky are blinking.

"My God, it's all diamonds!"

"There's one over here."

"There's another one here!"

"My God, I picked up a ruby ​​just now, and now I picked up a diamond? It seems that Mars is not an extremely dangerous place to experience experience, but our blessed land! So far, not only have we not encountered any monsters, but we have picked up There are a lot of gems. Diamonds are like garbage, let us pick them up."

"There are so many diamonds, most of which are the size of pigeon eggs. If we bring them to the earth, we will all be local tyrants." Da Mater said.

"There's another one here, it's actually bigger than a watermelon!" Lan Yudie held a huge crystal in his hand, with eight hearts and eight arrows in it, emitting brilliance. It's actually a diamond, it's amazing!

"This is a crater, and the pressure inside the volcano is strong, so it is the easiest to form diamonds." Chen Mengqi said, "Later, through volcanic eruptions, the magma erupted out. And there is no life on Mars, or there is no love for diamonds." life, so there are so many naked on the ground that no one picks up."

"This time we are developed!"

After finishing speaking, several people began to pick up diamonds and kept putting them in their pockets. As for the one that was as big as a watermelon, Lan Yudie couldn't fit it in her small pocket.

But Xiao Fei, who has always been known for being greedy for money, was useless to pick it up.

"I think you better not pick it up." Xiao Fei said.

"Why?" Several people stopped and asked.

"Do you know the story about bringing a pile of gold across the desert? In the desert, gold is useless, but not as practical as a drop of water. Not only is it useless, but it is a burden." Xiao Fei said, "After walking so I haven't encountered a monster for a long time, but I have an ominous premonition, so it's better to be careful."

"Okay then, we won't pick it up." Several people were still obedient.

"Throw away all the diamonds, so as not to encounter monsters later and affect your performance." Xiao Fei said, "You two are the protagonists in this experience, and I will not help you."

Fatty and Big Mater had no choice but to throw away the diamond.

"In addition, diamonds are not a noble thing, they are just carbon elements." Lan Yudie said, "And on the earth, there are many reserves of diamonds, and they are not rare. As for why diamonds are so expensive, it is because of development. Companies limit the amount they extract, and what’s rare is more expensive.”

"Xiaodie is right. If all the known diamond mines are mined, diamonds will become very cheap. Diamonds can be said to be the biggest scam in the world, the result of the operation of the capitalist society." Chen Mengqi also said.

"Okay, let's pack lightly and enter the canyon!" Xiao Fei ordered directly without talking nonsense. Then several people walked to the depths of the canyon.

However, just after they turned around, a monster suddenly poked its head out of the crater on the top of the mountain. After looking at them for a while, he quickly shrank back.
