Chapter 539 538. The Bird of Paradise Showing Up (2)

Li Du turned into a hard-working little farmer, searching hard among the stone piles.

He knew that he would win this gamble, there was no suspense in winning, and he won it simply.

But he can't show the results directly, otherwise it will easily lead to people's doubts.

In this way, he can only pretend to be searching for gems very hard, and quickly use a small pick to pull apart the stones and search for traces of gems.

He felt very aggrieved by pretending not to be able to show it, and what was even more aggrieved was that there were still people beside him whining:

"What are you doing dude? Are you looking for gems?"

"Is this farming? You want to cultivate a vegetable garden here? But people of the yellow race are very good at farming."

"What a rookie, you are like surfing the waves looking for fish, you can't get anything!"

"..."

Sophie came up to help Li Du and packed the stones for him to see.

She also felt that this was not possible, and said in a low voice: "Honey, are you sure this method is feasible?"

There were ore pickers around who were sarcastically speaking to Li Du. She was worried that her words would add fuel to the flames, so she quickly added: "I'm not questioning you, but, is this a good way?"

Li Du gave her a smile, and said: "It's useless to others, but it's useful to me. You may not know it yet. I rely on my observation ability to conduct storage auctions. My observation ability is different from ordinary people."

Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodles also came to help. Ah Ao picked up a few stones with his claws. It was still small, and its claws were very tender, and soon it hurt so much that it changed to use its mouth to remove the stones.

They didn't understand what Li Du and Sophie were doing, but they learned how to do it when they saw the two keep lifting the stones.

At this time, we can see the strength of the crispy noodles. The structure of the paws of raccoons is different from that of other animals. They have a thumb, which is used to grasp food and wash it.

The palms of raccoons are very useful for digging stones. They can learn how humans use their paws to hold stones and grab them faster and more efficiently.

Seeing this, the tourists were amazed, and many people took out their cameras and took pictures.

Seeing the crispy noodles deftly lifting the stone, Li Du's heart moved, maybe he could use the crispy noodles to pretend to be a comparison this time, just like he used Ah Miao to pretend to be aggressive.

The combat power of the crispy noodles is far inferior to that of Ah Miao, but its concentration and endurance in working are far superior to the opponent. It has been working hard to lift the stone. As for what is under the lifted stone? It doesn't care about this, it actually doesn't know what it is doing.

Raccoons are good at rock-lifting tricks, it's just natural for them to do it.

In the wild, raccoons like to live by small rivers. First, there is plenty of water, and second, there are small fish, shrimps and crabs in the water for food.

Small fish, shrimps, and crabs like to hide under the stones by the river. To catch them, raccoons need to lift the stones.

What the crispy noodles are doing now is this job.

Working aimlessly, Li Du found something for himself, which was to consider whether he should change his job temporarily.

Facts have proved that using small flying insects can make it easier for him to find gems, and finding gems can make more money than warehouse auctions.

Now he is looking for opals. A piece of opal is worth tens of thousands, which is still of ordinary quality. If it is the best fire opal, it will be no problem to sell for hundreds of thousands or millions.

But it is difficult to search for hundreds of thousands or millions of things from the warehouse.

He has wandered around most of the entire Arizona state, and he has seen the situation of the warehouse. It will be difficult to make big gains in the future.

Just as he was thinking, he simply went to the place where he found Opal, waved his two little paws and threw stones, working very hard.

A tourist was attracted and said: "This long-nosed raccoon is really powerful, look at how flexible its claws are, and how great its endurance is."

"Maybe we should tame raccoons to find gems?" an ore picker joked.

A person next to him curled his lips and said, "Unless you stuff a human soul into this guy's body, otherwise..."

In the middle of his words, Li Du suddenly walked quickly to the crispy noodles next to him. He threw away the pickaxe and replaced it with a small shovel. After cleaning a few times, he reached out and took out a small stone.

The color of this stone is orange-yellow, the material is translucent, and there are some speckled things inside. From a certain angle, it looks like blooming flowers!

Seeing the stone he took out, the joking ore pickers were dumbfounded, and the tourists exclaimed: "He found Huo Opal, he really found it!"

Fire opal comes in a variety of colors, ranging from orange, bright orange, orange red to red and even crimson, and the material can also vary from translucent to transparent.

The brilliance of the color of the stone directly determines its value. The closer to the flame color, the more valuable it is for collection. Red is the most expensive, and the redder the better, correspondingly orange is more precious than yellow.

The top-level fire opal is as bright as a burning flame and has extremely high transparency. This kind of opal is the favorite of collectors, and one piece can be worth millions!

Li Du's piece is not inferior to Cyril's piece in terms of appearance, his color is more yellow, which is not as good as that piece, but under the sunlight, his piece is more transparent.

When the little flying insect saw it under the stone before, he didn't notice the difference in transparency because of the light, so he thought the stone was of low value, but it was not.

Looking at the stone in his hand, the ore pickers around who were waiting to watch the show were stunned. A group of people looked at Li Du in shock, and someone lost their voice: "God, he really picked it up?!"

Sophie turned her head to see this scene, and immediately cheered: "Honey, you found it!"

Li Du laughed and said, "It wasn't me, it was found by the crisp noodles, but it belongs to me, so of course I found it."

As he spoke, he held up the crispy noodles and put them on his shoulders. The raccoon squatted on it and hugged his head, grinning foolishly.

Sophie ran over cheering. She held up the stone and exclaimed: "The Indians are right, this is really a beautiful gem like a bird of paradise!"

Fire Opal has a long history and was regarded as a treasure by the local people as early as the Mayan and Aztec periods. They called this gemstone with a warm and charming orange-red hue, as Sophie called it, "bird of paradise". Such a beautiful gem".

Li Du cleaned up the dust on his body, and he handed the gemstone to gem dealer Owen, and said, "Man, come and appraise it, is there anything wrong with it?"

Owen looked at him in surprise, and said, "Brother, what do you have to do with God?"

He must have such doubts, because the pickers were right before, the probability of picking up an opal within an hour is too small, not to mention that Li Du is still a rookie!

Li Du said: "I am a good person, God bless a good person, and my girlfriend is a devout believer, maybe this is the relationship."

Owen inspected the stone and said, "He won it, folks, and it's a real opal!"
