Chapter 1257: Chapter 496 Huge Gain_3 Chapter 1257: Chapter 496 Huge Gain_3 Yan Fei stood on the steep, uneven ground of the underground space. He switched on the searchlight on his exoskeleton armor, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daylight. This underground space had been in complete darkness for eons, without any presence of light. The light from Yan Fei's exoskeleton armor was the only light this place had seen in millions of years.

Yan Fei turned his head, and the searchlight moved with him. Under the illumination of the light, the underground space began to emit a dazzling brilliance. It turned out that the underground space was filled with various chemical crystals, reflecting the light from the searchlight and turning the radius of a hundred meters into a colorful, glass-like world.

Standing in the reflected dazzling light, Yan Fei was experiencing such a unique scene for the first time and felt it was somewhat dreamlike. The crystals in the underground space were only a part; most of it was still tough granite, which appeared gray-white under the illumination of the searchlight.

Looking around, Yan Fei realized that this place was cut off from the world, without even water flowing into it, so there were no stalactites or the like; it was just a dry, giant sealed cave.

The air analyzer on the exoskeleton armor analyzed the air in this place and found it very thin and mostly composed of poisonous gases. Along with the absence of water, these conditions utterly failed to meet the basic requirements for the generation of life. As Yan Fei walked along, he found no signs of any life either.

Wearing the exoskeleton armor, Yan Fei rapidly leaped across the ground of the underground space. Then he bent down to pick up several different crystals from the ground, storing them into Universal Space. Using the mini-production workshop in Universal Space, he analyzed these crystals only to discover they were merely ordinary chemical element crystals. Aside from their pretty shapes, they had no significant use.

As Yan Fei moved forward, collecting various crystals, he unfortunately found they held no commercial value. It was not until he stored a brilliantly sparkling transparent crystal into Universal Space, and after the mini-production workshop analyzed its components, that he discovered this sparkling transparent crystal was actually a naturally formed diamond.

Diamonds are made of carbon elements and are very hard. Although their forming environment is extremely harsh, the total reserves on Earth are not small. However, due to the monopoly and speculation by the unsavory De Beers Company on a global scale, diamonds had been hyped into rare items. This made the price of diamonds keep rising with a tiny one surpassing ten thousand dollars, causing many young people who firmly believe diamonds represent love to spend a lot of wrongful money purchasing them. But in reality, the greatest cost of diamonds is just their processing fee.

What Yan Fei did not expect was that the diamonds, touted as rare items by De Beers, were everywhere in this underground space. Looking around, Yan Fei saw these rare diamonds everywhere under the illumination of the exoskeleton armor's searchlight. Moreover, these diamonds were enormous with the biggest piece weighing over a hundred tons. Not only that, the various colored diamonds, most hyped by De Beers, were found all over the place in this space and were terrifyingly pure. If people knew about the abundance of diamonds in this underground space, who would spend money on diamonds from the De Beers Company?

Seeing these diamonds, Yan Fei immediately had an idea. He bent down quickly and gathered the sparkling diamonds he saw into Universal Space. But because there were so many rough diamonds here, Yan Fei simply couldn't store them all into Universal Space. Thus, he gave up collecting the colorless transparent diamonds and instead started gathering the various rare colored diamonds that were common here but precious outside.

In just over half an hour, Yan Fei had collected over a thousand tons of various diamonds. Among these diamonds, the colorless transparent ones alone weighed over five hundred tons, including the super diamond that weighed a hundred tons. The rest were all colored diamonds, a truly enormous haul.

Although the diamond business is a unique one, the total volume isn't extensive, and it involves deceiving young people's expectations of love, so Yan Fei disdained engaging in such a business. The reason he collected so many rare diamonds was to completely destroy the astounding lies fabricated by the diamond companies led by De Beers and to restore diamonds to their true status, ending the myth that diamonds should naturally be expensive…
