Chapter 2 Live Broadcast Warm-Up, Jade Pickers in Secret Realm

For Ye Xing, who only has one month left to live,

In order to gain one more year of life,

Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, there is no retreat at all!

After planning a route, the second step is to purchase supplies.

Ye Xing's current location is Hetian City.

He took a bus to the Trade City in the city center.

The number of people in the live broadcast room has increased,

From three or five to more than a dozen.

While Ye Xing is purchasing items, he will interact with the audience and explain to them the specific functions of their purchases.

"When hiking in the desert, you must wear shoes with high tops and large V soles. Firstly, these shoes have strong grip, shock absorption and wear resistance. Secondly, they can prevent bites from reptiles..."

【I want to wear flip-flops?】

[I think high heels are good, 15 centimeters, they must be very exciting when stepping on the sand. 】

[The anchor is highly suspected of being a salesperson, so be careful of being deceived. 】

The few viewers kept making fun of Ye Xing, and no one believed that he really dared to walk on the Sea of ​​Death.

Ye Xing didn't care, he preferred to slap these people in the face with the facts.

Sun protection clothing, quick-drying pants, headscarf, hat, fleece jacket, windproof glasses, tactical knife, bucket...

Ye Xing bought two large bags of daily necessities and outdoor equipment.

[The anchor bought so many things, does he really want to play? 】

[If this is true, I will stand on my head and eat cock! 】

[Maybe this is a new marketing method, continue to observe. 】

[Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors, and don’t make rumors. 】

After sorting out the supplies, it was still early.

Ye Xing plans to take everyone to visit nearby famous places to increase their popularity and warm up for tomorrow's adventure.

One hour later.

Ye Xing came to the secret realm of Hetian City - Yulong River.

Looking around, there are countless beautiful stones of various shapes and sizes exposed in the semi-dry river bed.

Many men and women were holding shovels, shovels, chisels and other tools, looking for something among the dense stones.

What's more, driving an excavator to dig the soil.

Most of these people are local Uyghurs, and many are tourists who come here because of its reputation.

"Good afternoon everyone, where I am standing now is the Yulong River."

"The people around you sweating in the sun are jade pickers. Next, I will take you to experience the life of jade pickers."

[Where is the Yulong River? Can anyone give some information on it? (picking nose)]

[Research Monk: The Yulong River originates from the Kunlun Mountains. It is said that a large amount of golden sand and white jade flows here, also known as the Jinyu River. Most of the Hetian jade in the country is excavated from here, but it is difficult to find treasures now. 】

[Isn’t the anchor going to the desert? Why did he come here? (Dog head question mark)]

[The guy upstairs is new here, right? The anchor will start tomorrow. 】

The number of people online in the live broadcast room is about to exceed 100, and Ye Xing's fans have also increased from 0 to 20.

"The researcher monk is right. Most of the treasures here have been dug away. Now it is difficult to find valuable jade."

“Ordinary jade pickers’ daily income is not as much as moving bricks on a construction site, and the small seeds they dig can be sold for hundreds of yuan.”

"But there are many beautiful stones here, which would be good to keep as souvenirs."

Ye Xing randomly interviewed several jade pickers and found that most of them were migrant workers with a relatively difficult life and housewives without legitimate occupations.

After digging up the seeds, they will be sold to dealers who specialize in collecting jade.

I heard that some time ago, a jade dealer spent 5,000 yuan on a piece of high-quality seed material from a jade picker, and then sold it for 500,000 yuan. The final price of the jade dealer in the auction house was as high as 2 million yuan.

The price difference earned by the middleman is calculated as a hundred times, which is really scary.

"I'll give it a try next and see if I can dig up some treasure."

Ye Xing bought a shovel and looked around, digging as he went.

[Why don’t the anchor find a fixed place to dig deeper, knock for a while and then leave? How can he possibly find jade in this way? 】

[Princess Chichi: Isn’t this just a blind cat killing a mouse? It’s not about comparing who can dig deeper, it just depends on luck. I think the anchor might win the prize. 】

[The guy upstairs, you’re overthinking it. The business of picking jade is different from buying lottery tickets. In addition to luck, you also need experience and skills. It’s difficult to find jade. Thousands of people go and a hundred people come back. A hundred people return and ten people come back. Ten people and one person gets it. , a layman like the anchor will definitely have no chance, it is just a waste of time. 】

"Picking jade does require skills, the most important of which are eyesight and ears."

"First you have to learn to identify the types of stones, and secondly you have to be able to listen to the sounds."

"Different types of stones make different sounds when they collide."

"Finally, when digging rocks, you need to use the strength of your legs and waist. If you just use your arms, you will soon be terribly tired."

"To answer the question of 'Princess Chi Chi', the reason why I kept going was because I didn't plan to dig deeper, and I didn't have the energy. The main thing was to show everyone the process of picking jade and try my luck."

Ye Xing replied simply.

[The anchor answered very professionally, not like a layman. 】

[Jade King: It’s just talk on paper, it’s nothing. 】

[Princess Chichi: Guys upstairs, be careful of getting slapped in the face. 】

[Jade King: I wish he could find something decent. If he can dig something decent, I will buy a set of rockets right away! 】

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, Ye Xing found a piece of oxidized iron ore in the shallow water area, and a piece of jade was buried in the sand under the ore.

The main reason why it was discovered was due to the life skill of "mining".

Ye Xing took it out from the ground, which was about the size of a palm.

After washing it, it showed a very beautiful mutton-fat color.

[WOC! Did you really dig up a treasure? ]

[Jade King: Too naive, this is probably quartz. ]

[Ge Da Ye: This color doesn't look like quartz, can you take a closer look. ]

Ye Xing had already used [Item Identification] to check this jade, which was a good-looking Hetian jade.

But for the live broadcast effect, he still had to cooperate with the audience.

Ye Xing took out a knife and scratched the jade: "Friends of the nitpickers, take a look, the Mohs hardness of Hetian jade is about 6.5, and there will be no scratches when the knife passes over it. Swing it towards the light source, and you can see a black shadow shaking inside."

[Oh my! There really is a shadow moving. (Shocked face)]

[Excuse me, can Hetian jade speak English? (Manual funny)]

[I was attracted by the title. Can anyone tell me what the anchor is doing?]

[Ge Da Ye: According to my many years of experience, this is real Hetian jade, it can't be fake.]

[Jade King: Uncle upstairs, you are a shill, how can it be such a coincidence, this must be a show.]

[Ge Da Ye: Bullshit, I am Ge Zhongsheng from Yulinzhai, if you suspect I am a shill, you are welcome to confront me at any time.]

Ge Zhongsheng is a very famous name in the jade circle. He is a veteran figure, and his words are also very important. No one dares to question him anymore.

At this moment, several nearby jade dealers noticed the movement of Ye Xing and surrounded him.

"Brother, are you selling this material? I'll give you 500 yuan."

"I'll give you 1,000 yuan."

"1,000 yuan is too little. I'll give you 2,000 yuan."

"2,000 yuan is not worth it. Forget it. I'll give it to you."

The three jade dealers exchanged glances and performed tricks in front of Ye Xing.

[Grandpa Ge: Don't be fooled, my friend. They are working together to cheat you. This piece of jade is worth at least 80,000 yuan. I'm willing to pay 100,000 yuan to buy it. Just consider it as making friends. ]

[Princess Chichi: I just checked. Grandpa Ge is a shrewd man in this business. If he said 100,000 yuan, it is worth at least 200,000 yuan. Don't be fooled by him. ]

[Grandpa Ge: Then I'll pay 200,000 yuan! ]

[Princess Chichi: Since he is willing to pay 200,000 yuan, it is worth at least 400,000 yuan. ]

[Grandpa Ge: I'll pay 400,000 yuan. I really can't pay more! 】

[Crazy Princess:.......]

"I don't plan to sell this jade. I plan to keep it for myself."

Seeing that the number of people in the live broadcast room exceeded 300, Ye Xing had a new idea.

He wanted to show off his master craftsmanship in front of the majority of netizens...
