C189

Riding the train, it only took Qi Jin three hours to meet Hu Cai halfway to Kangti City.

After renting a car in the city, Qi Jin drove the car to the cat's eye stone mine that was still 60 miles away from Kangti City.

During the ancient times, it rained incessantly, drowning all the mountains. Countless boulders washed down from the top of the mountain and entered the surging river, colliding and rubbing against each other, turning into small stones. The small stones turned into round pebbles of various sizes.

cat's eye stone were settled in the river bottom among the rocks. Due to geological reasons, there were a lot of minerals here, so cat's eye stone could not be found on the surface.

They would often reach a depth of thirty meters or so. If they were lucky, they would also be able to find cat's eye stone.

The cat's eye stone that was dug out was not as regular as the ones sold in the shop. There were primitive cat's eye stone of all sizes, and they had different shapes, some were long and some were oval in shape. They needed to be polished before they could be sold in the shop.

Qi Jin first went to the mines to take a look, then drove to a place with no people.

He took down the shovel from the car, and after pausing for a moment on the dry, ancient riverbed, he excitedly said, "Hu Cai, let's try our luck."

"Can we still get cat's eye stone?"

Hu Cai was speechless. The people in the mine used heavy machinery, to filter out tens of thousands of tons of sand in a year, only then would they be able to distinguish a few tons of cat's eye stone.

This was the first time Hu Cai saw a native digging for cat's eye stone with a shovel.

However, a hundred years ago, the people here did indeed use shovels to dig the cat's eye stone. The upper layer of the riverbed had already been dug by people, so it was impossible for cat's eye stone to appear.

cat's eye stone s were also known as Green Pine Gems, which were not limited to yellow and green. There were also reddish brown, white, black, red and pink, and each color was divided into a dozen or so colors, such as goose yellow, tender yellow, golden yellow, light yellow, scarlet yellow, and so on.

The color and the amount of impurities they contained determined the cat's eye stone's level.

The more pure the color was, the more precious the cat's eye stone would be with less impurities.

The number of rare gems could only be found by chance and not sought after. For example, in the past few decades, there had only been one of the best cat's eye stone that had been collected by the British Royal Family.

The fluoroscopic eye helped Qi Jin cheat, so he was not afraid of the treasure that was buried underground.

Seeing that Hu Cai didn't have any confidence, he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to put in any effort. Why don't you just watch a video of me on the side and see if my luck is good."

"My phone doesn't have a lot of battery, you better be lucky, otherwise, before you dig out cat's eye stone s, my phone will run out of battery."

"My luck has always been very good. With you by my side, my luck must have been heaven-defying."

Qi Jin scratched Hu Cai's exquisite nose.

Hu Cai hit his finger with her hand, but Qi Jin quickly retracted his hand.

This intimate action made Hu Cai flush. She stared at Qi Jin in embarrassment and realised that he had already dug more than ten metres away.

The riverbed would be obstructed by rocks of all sizes at any time. If it was someone else, it would definitely be extremely difficult.

With the help of the fluoroscopic eye, Qi Jin used the iron shovel to avoid the hard rocks.

Hu Cai was not a professional excavator, when she saw the speed at which Qi Jin was excavating, she thought that he was young and had power, so she could not think of any other ways.

After digging half a meter deep, Qi Jin exclaimed: "Hu Cai, look and see if this is a cat's eye stone?"

Qi Jin quickly picked up a fist-sized multicolored stone.

Holding it in his hand, Hu Cai took out a tissue and carefully wiped it. His mouth was wide open as he said in disbelief: "Qi Jin, your luck is really good. This is a cat's eye stone, it's very big, but I can't see its quality."

"Don't worry, as long as it's a cat's eye stone, it's fine. I want to make a bracelet for my girlfriend and make a necklace."

Qi Jin said with full of confidence.

Hu Cai mocked: "If that's the case, then you have to work even harder. It's best if you dig out a top-notch cat's eye stone. Your girlfriend will definitely reward you."

She still didn't think highly of Qi Jin.

Qi Jin walked forward for more than ten meters and once again dug with all his might. After digging down for about a meter or so, he found another piece of cat's eye stone.

Hu Cai was speechless.

He looked at Qi Jin as if he was looking at a monster, and said: "If I didn't come here with you, I would have definitely suspected that you had buried the gem here earlier, and then dug it out later."

"Like I said, luck has always been with me."

Qi Jin was very pleased, with the fluoroscopic eye, there was no difference from what he had buried in advance. His gaze swept all the way to the area with a radius of tens of metres, and even if one dug too deep, they would still not be able to reach a depth of one and a half metres.

Seeing that it was already late, Qi Jin said: "Let's go, let's find a place to stay in Kang Ting City and continue digging for the gems tomorrow."

"Alright, I also want to check the level of the cat's eye stone."

Studying jewelry design of Hu Cai is good at screening work, she belongs to the professional.

It was only half an hour's drive to the city of Candy.

Then, he found a five-star hotel, Qi Jin opened a suite there, he and Hu Cai shared a room.

When they were getting a room, Hu Cai was very worried, afraid that Qi Jin would only open one room for him, but he also had some expectations that he would really open one room for his.

Then... Should she say no, or half say no?

Hu Cai's heart was in a mess.

In order to make it easier for Hu Cai to distinguish gems, Qi Jin bought a microscope and a mirror. There was also a very professional small box with tools to identify gems.

These tools were bought based on Hu Cai's suggestion.

Hu Cai sighed with emotion as she said, "I study jewelry design, but I don't even dare to think about these. They're all professional designs and are way too expensive."

"Nowadays, many industries are like this. Professionals don't have the money to do business, while non-professionals have the money and the skills. When we are together, we can complement each other. It's a match made in heaven."

"Who's a match for you?"

Hu Cai blushed again as she secretly looked at Qi Jin from under her nose.

After dinner, Qi Jin said: "I'm going out for a walk, don't wait for me."

"You're not allowed to go out and look for women."

Hu Cai couldn't understand why Qi Jin needed to go out at night so he asked him again.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Qi Jin laughed as he walked out.

During the day, with Hu Cai right in front of him, Qi Jin couldn't let go and start a fight. At night, he sneakily drove his car back to the riverbed and released the double-headed snake monster.

Then, as Qi Jin pointed the location, the double-headed snake monster used its huge tail to dig out the sand and dirt.

Blackie, who was in a bad mood, followed suit, holding a can of beer in his paws.

The beer was obtained from the Terrorist organizations's base, there was a lot of supplies in the warehouse, and they were all collected by the double-headed snake monster into the arborvitae radix's space.

Hei Tuo was unhappy that Qi Jin was able to keep the messy airplane gun ammunition in the arborvitae radix's space, but he did not reject the beer. He drank one bottle after another, feeling very satisfied.

A bottle of beer was gulped down in three gulps, Hei Tuo complacently burped, pointed at the double-headed snake monster and ridiculed: "You are just a marsh, you can never be a superior manager, and a person who puts in effort will never have a future. The benefits of exerting effort will only be greater if you do not use your brain. "

"F * ck off."

Qi Jin angrily kicked him, scolding: "You always find excuses when I ask you to put in effort. double-headed snake monster is smarter than you, what use do you guys have if you don't need to help me with my work?"

In the end, he did not dare fight with Qi Jin and stood bitterly at the side. He looked at the double-headed snake monster s who had dug up the sand and dirt that flew in the sky with disdain.

According to Qi Jin's guidance, the double-headed snake monster worked hard to dig and their collaboration was really useful.

The strength of the double-headed snake monster was equivalent to that of a heavy excavator. Its huge tail was inserted into the riverbed, reaching ten meters deep.

Qi Jin reached out and picked up the cat's eye stone.

When the sky was about to brighten, even the divine power of double-headed snake monster was exhausted, causing it to sweat profusely.

Only then did Qi Jin throw the nearly two tons of cat's eye stone into the Three Lives Wood Space.

He drove back to the hotel.

Hu Cai had already gone to sleep, and after Qi Jin came back, he woke up with a yawn. He sat on the sofa in the living room and asked with a suspicious expression: "Qi Jin, where did you go? You haven't come back for the entire night, right? "

"Men have things to do."

Qi Jin did not bother to explain as he dove into the bath to wash himself clean before coming out.

"Hmph, after meeting Sun Zhao, invite her to listen to your story. Go out all night and don't come back, don't do anything good."

Hu Cai grumbled in annoyance as she went into the bath to wash up.

After finishing breakfast, Qi Jin returned to his suite and took out a stack of bills and placed it on the table. Each of them was five hundred euros, a total of twenty of them, and silently looked at Hu Cai.

"So much money?"

Hu Cai's eyes flashed, she was very moved, then she sternly said, "What do you mean by this?"

"Do me a favor. This money is yours."

Qi Jin calmly knocked on the tea table, indicating that he was okay.

"What do you need me to do for you? Tell me first."

Hu Cai looked calm on the surface, her heart was already in a mess. She instantly thought that Qi Jin would use money to bribe her.

Maybe it was to accompany him for a day and a night, or maybe it was to bribe her to not tell Sun Zhao about not return for the night.

Maybe it was to make her a secret lover.

Hu Cai secretly sized Qi Jin up, he only had 60 points in his heart, the unassuming Qi Jin had nothing outstanding about him, he was neither handsome nor at ease, and he was not a very rich person, who couldn't even afford to buy a few hundred thousand dollar cat's eye stone bracelet.

After secretly calculating for a moment, Hu Cai felt that it was still possible to accompany him for a day and a night. If she became his secret lover, then this little bit of money was too little.

"In a while, we'll return to the city. I'll take you to meet my partner. You have to say this …"

Qi Jin told Hu Cai what he had already thought of long ago.

"Why do you say that?"

Hearing that Qi Jin did not only provide for his and did not want to have a romantic relationship with her, Hu Cai calmed down and asked in suspicion.

"In short, I have my own plans. You don't have to worry about it, and don't talk too much. Play out this show well, and you can have the benefits as well."

Qi Jin knew that Hu Cai's economy was not well off, so he used money to buy his off.
