Li Du released the little bug to investigate the condition of the surrounding land .
This was not an easy task . The park's land had been dug by others hundreds, thousands of times . It was like the tourists and treasure hunters had plowed the land, turning it over and over again, transforming it into a soft sandy beach .
Searching for diamonds here was purely based on luck . Not even the slightest knowledge in a discipline or any type of skill was required . The only factor that mattered slightly here was experience but only because it helped you work more quickly .
The little bug traveled back and forth underground, but Li Du couldn't find anything .
He walked around without digging . Sophie and others followed him, also not doing anything .
A black woman noticed them . She walked over and smiled . "Hi there, you won't find any diamonds by just looking . You can't only think and watch . You have to take action . "
She chose Sophie to talk to . Clearly, Sophie seemed sweet and honest, which caught her attention .
Sophie politely spoke with the woman . Li Du was not bothered by this . He was still controlling the little bug as it moved back and forth underground .
The black woman had a brief conversation with Sophie, and went back to work ten meters away from them . Suddenly, she screamed, "Hey there! Come and have a look! I found a diamond! I think I found a diamond!"
Hearing her scream, people quickly surrounded her . One after another, they asked, "Where? Where is it?"
The woman raised her arm . The skin on her hands was wrinkled, like it had been soaked in water for a long time . Her complexion turned pale, and she looked slightly frightening .
This was the price to pay as a treasure hunter for diamond mining in the park for a long time . They had to come into contact with mud and water continuously . Over time, the skin on her hands had peeled off .
The woman had a small glass bottle in her hand . Inside the bottle was shining stone . Its size was pretty impressive . She was in luck if this was the diamond that she'd found .
Li Du and others were nearby . They gathered together and moved close to join the excitement . They stood beside her .
More and more people forced their way into the crowd . The black woman was worried . She held the bottle tight and screamed, "Stop squeezing in! Otherwise, I'm calling the security!"
Some people had malicious intentions and tried to cause chaos . They bumped against the black woman and almost caused her to fall .
Sophie quickly caught her . Brother Wolf and Godzilla voluntarily stood by them like a human wall to help them stop the incoming crowd .
A lot of people started to say, "Let me have a look . I found a diamond yesterday . I'm familiar with how they look . "
"This diamond! A fine diamond! Damn it! She's gonna be rich!"
"This diamond! A fine diamond! Damn it! She's gonna be rich!"
"No way . My God! That's a huge diamond . How's she so lucky?"
There was an appraisal department in the park . Treasure hunters who obtained a stone could go for appraisal there . The park policy was, "Help tourists protect their collected items . Provide diamond appraisal and registration services for tourists . Free of charge . "
Someone had found a big diamond . This news spread quickly in the park . The appraisal department sent two appraisers to provide the free service .
The security guards also came over to control and separate the crowd .
Seeing the appraisers, the woman confidently passed the diamond to them .
One of them took a pair of tweezers and carefully picked up the stone from the flask . The other one took a magnifying glass and carefully examined the stone .
Li Du could tell just from one look that this was, in fact, a diamond—a genuine raw diamond . Without any processing, this diamond was neither dazzling nor pretty, but raw stones were like this .
He was unlucky . The gemstone was right there but the little bug hadn't noticed it .
The two appraisers examined the diamond again and again . They looked at the woman and nodded . "Ma'am, what's your name?"
This was a good sign . The black woman said emotionally, "Ondra, Kelly Ondra . I come from New York . "
This was a good sign . The black woman said emotionally, "Ondra, Kelly Ondra . I come from New York . "
An appraiser said, "Congratulations . Kelly Ondra from New York . You have made it to the hall of fame . You can now buy a big house in New York . "
The black woman held her chest, opened her eyes as wide as she could, and yelled, "Ahhh! This is a diamond! I found a real diamond, yes?! I'm rich! My children's school fees! Our house loan! I have the money now!"
An appraiser said, "Yes, congratulations!"
The appraiser carried an electronic scale and weighed the diamond . He wore a shocked expression . "6 . 35 carats! You can afford a mansion in New York!"
This size of this diamond was big but Li Du hadn't expected it to be 6 . 35 carats . This was a huge piece . Although it was still a raw stone, processing it would not cause too much wear and tear .
The surrounding tourists and treasure hunters started an uproar . People were discussing it by whispering in each other's ear . All of them were looking at the black woman with jealousy and hatred .
The evaluation standards for diamonds were very complicated . If this diamond had a unique quality, then the price could easily go up to a million dollars .
This diamond seemed like it was good quality, so it could definitely have a unique quality to it as well .
This park had produced a lot of fine diamonds . For instance, in 1990, local Shirley Strawn from Arkansas found a 3 . 03 carat diamond and named it "Strawn Wagner . "
When Strawn dug up this diamond, Arkansas' chief gemstone appraising expert had also coincidentally been here . He used a magnifying glass to examine the diamond and called it a rare quality find .

In 1998, this diamond was appraised at the highest standard 0/0/0 . It was perfect, a score which only appeared once in every 10 billion gems .
Kelly Ondra screamed with excitement . She hugged Sophie and madly kissed her face twice . Then, she turned around and gave the appraiser a hug and a kiss . She was extremely excited .
Sophie and the appraisers were happy for her too . This diamond would become the locals' main public discussion . Many reporters would want an interview .
The two appraisers had just run a preliminary evaluation . They had to return to the appraisal center to run further checks using advanced equipment and other different methods .
Under the protection of the security guards, the few of them walked toward the appraisal center . The black woman was extremely excited throughout the journey . She continuously screamed, "I thought it was just a piece of glass . I couldn't believe it . I wanted to throw it away at that time . Really, I actually did throw it away .
"I threw that diamond away . Haha . And then, I asked myself: why had I been impatient? Why did I not properly take a look at it?"
"Thank God! Thank the kind Mother of Jesus! I really did it . I pick it back up! Oh, God! I almost lost the stone that will change the fate of my life . . . "
Not long after, more news of the diamond emerged . It was 6 . 35 carats . It was the eighth biggest natural diamond found publicly by a tourist in the park . This was also the biggest diamond that had been found here over the last eight years .
On that day, the news regarding the diamond became a public discussion .
