Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1925: Chapter 1828: Dig Here

Indeed, even if the park is big enough, it can’t withstand the daily dreamers who fantasize about digging up diamonds. With so many people, news of finding diamonds only pops up once in a while. At this rate, things don’t look too promising.

Even Yue Shuwen felt like giving up. She was on the verge of tossing away the shovel in her hand, staring speechlessly at the vast expanse of yellow soil before her:

“Su Qingqing, according to your previous plan, we’re not actually going to spend the next two days digging here, are we? I won’t join you if that’s the case. I noticed there’s a big fish pond behind the villa we’re staying at; it looks nice. Why not go fishing instead?”

Upon hearing Yue Shuwen’s suggestion, Su Qingqing’s eyes lit up. She threw away her shovel and said, “Really? Great, let’s go back. I haven’t gone fishing in ages!”

Su Qingqing switched sides way too quickly; it was her idea, yet she was the first to agree with Yue Shuwen’s suggestion to head back.

Huo Sining became exasperated: “Hey, hey, hey, we’re already here! We should at least take a look inside. Besides, it’s just a bit of digging, not like you have to fill it back in. Swinging a hoe is good for exercise too!”

The group felt a bit sheepish at Huo Sining’s words, and Su Qingqing, feeling guilty, squatted down to pick up her shovel again.

Gu Xu, on the other hand, had already figured out Huo Sining’s plan. He laughed and said, “Honey, you know more about this than we do. Tell us where the diamonds are, and we’ll dig there. That way, we can save some energy. Let’s see if we can find one or two. If not, we’ll leave quickly so we don’t waste time here.”

“Right, right, my brother-in-law is right!”

Su Qingqing immediately agreed with Gu Xu’s suggestion.

Huo Sining gave Su Qingqing a sideways look: “You’re just a fence-sitter, always ready to flatter others.”

Embarrassed, Su Qingqing grinned and scratched her nose at Huo Sining’s glare.

Li Jun, holding a hoe for lack of anything better to do, said to Huo Sining, “Alright, since we’re here and already paid for the tickets, we can’t just leave so quickly. You tell us where to dig, Miss Huo, and you can lead us.”

Li Jun just saw it as a way to pass the time. After all, he didn’t believe this group of theirs had such luck that they’d hit the target right away. Even if this Huo Sining was good at stone gambling and treasure appraisal and knew something about geomancy, Li Jun didn’t think it had any relevance. Digging for diamonds had nothing to do with all that nonsense about feng shui or stone betting.

However, Li Jun didn’t dare say this out loud for fear of being punched by all the women.

Huo Sining didn’t care what others thought; she had already calculated before coming. She could detect up to fifty meters with her Heavenly Eye, allowing her to survey the entire 150-hectare park within two days, and even deeper than fifty meters. As long as there were diamonds, she could find them.

Initially, Huo Sining was worried that it would be impossible to avoid other people while they were searching for diamonds, but given how crowded the park was, she was no longer concerned.

With so many people, nobody would specially focus on them. And if they found diamonds, Huo Sining could quietly stash them in her storage ring, using a bag as cover, and no one would suspect her.

With this thought in mind, she didn’t bother to greet anyone else. After entering the park, Huo Sining got right to it, crouching down to scan the surface of the yellow soil and rocks with her hands.

Seeing her actions, Li Jun became curious and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”

Su Qingqing blurted out, “Well, obviously she’s checking the feng shui. Ningning is skilled at that. She once used this method to map out the structure of an underground tomb, and the map was identical to the actual burial structure. My professor said it’s called Dragon Vein Seeking, and it’s super impressive!”

Huo Sining paused her hand, thinking to herself that she didn’t even need to explain anymore since Su Qingqing had basically become her spokesperson.

But seeing the skeptical look in Li Jun’s eyes, Huo Sining added,

“It’s similar to stone gambling, where you judge the jadeite inside from the stone’s surface patterns. Geomancy involves analyzing soil quality and surface biological features. It’s quite complex and can’t be explained in a few words.”

Li Jun listened to this and, although skeptical, found Huo Sining’s explanation convincing enough, so he nodded and said,

“I see, I always thought feng shui sounded too mystical, like it was something for charlatans. When you put it like that, it makes sense. It’s essentially applying scientific principles to data analysis, a logical deduction, not pseudo-science.”

Concentrating on the underground rock layers, Huo Sining continued her tactile exploration, moving forward as she listened to Li Jun’s words. She couldn’t help but crack a faint smile and replied, “You’re right.”

Secretly, Huo Sining thought to herself that if she didn’t have a hack, he would be entirely correct. But come on, wasn’t he kidding? Molten magma from a volcanic channel forms the same kind of rock layers anyway, and people have already dug up the Earth’s surface so much. Even an expert in geomancy would be completely at a loss here!

Data analysis, in this messed-up place, what is there to analyze, and what data to use for the analysis? It’s already turned into this mess. Even a geology expert would probably just stand there dumbfounded!

Beside them, Gu Xu couldn’t help but grin widely as he watched his wife so easily convince Li Jun. He hadn’t expected his wife to be so good at hoodwinking people, leaving Li Jun completely bamboozled. It was truly amusing.

Huo Sining, at this point, had no time to worry about what the others thought. She was the core of this group; everyone was waiting to follow her lead. Even if anyone did have any objections, she would firmly stand by her standpoint.

As she continued feeling the rocky surface, after about ten minutes of exploration, Su Qingqing and the others were starting to get impatient. They considered just picking a random spot to dig when suddenly, Huo Sining paused, straightened up excitedly, and looked at them with bright eyes, saying:

“We’ve got a target. It’s time for you to show your skills. Swing your hoes right here; there’s definitely diamonds underneath!”
