Chapter 57: Twists and Turns
Dai Hai was holding a white stone in the palm of his right hand, with a concave center and a threaded shape.
The surrounding melon-eating crowd has cast their eyes on this white fossil.
"This is..."
Mr. Fuji excitedly stepped forward and took the white fossil from Daikai's hand, and after a moment of careful observation, his face regained his calm.
"As soon as I saw the shape of the thread, I knew I had found a treasure.
This is a shell fossil that can resurrect an ammonite! β
Daikai saw Mr. Fuji's expression and thought with confidence.
"It's fossilized feces."
Mr. Fuji's words almost caused Daikai to fall.
"What?
Do you know the goods? β
Dai Hai asked angrily:
"This spiral pattern is obviously very similar to the shell of an ammonite beast!
It's a shell fossil!
It's not a fossil feces! β
Dai Hai jumped three feet high, pointed at the white fossil in the hand of the Fuji researcher with his right index finger, and said angrily.
Mr. Fuji glanced at Daikai with some surprise, and said with a smile:
"It's so rare that you know ammonite beasts."
β...... That's not the problem! β
Daikai interrupted Mr. Fuji and said:
"This one of mine is..."
Mr. Fuji waved his hand, and said with some pity:
"I didn't misjudge.
I don't know who told you that, but it's certain that you're not a shell fossil. β
Mr. Fuji paused and continued:
"The center of your fossil is dented, look at that classmate's fossil."
Mr. Fuji pointed to the fossil in Menglei's hand and said:
"No matter what kind of fossil has been found so far, it is unlikely that it has been sunken in a large area.
Shell fossils have also been acquired in our research institute, although they are incomplete.
To be honest, if you replace all the depressions in this fossil with protrusions, they are indeed somewhat similar in shape. β
Dai Hai thinks about it and feels that it makes sense. And Mr. Fuji didn't care what Daihai thought, as if he was talking about addiction, and gushed endlessly:
"Fossil feces aren't very common.
Ancient PokΓ©mon excreted a large amount of feces, but it has rarely been found, baffling researchers for years.
Many researchers believe that their droppings may have been eaten by stinking mud millions of years ago. β
ββ¦β¦β
Dai Hai's face was flushed, his hands were clenched into fists, and his teeth were rattling.
"Enough!"
Daikai almost roared, interrupting Researcher Fuji viciously.
"Then you can trust my previous judgment."
Mr. Fuji looked at Daikai with bloodshot eyes in some surprise, but asked anyway.
ββ¦β¦β
Meng Lei was worried that Dai Hai would be annoyed and angry, so he rushed up to fight with Fuji, and hurriedly interjected:
"And how much is this fossil worth?"
"500 gold."
Fuji said without thinking:
"If you can find a bigger piece of..."
"I'll fight with you!"
Dai Hai let out a beastly roar in his throat, and he was about to pounce.
Meng Lei hurriedly hugged Dai Hai, who was dancing with his teeth and claws, and signaled him to calm down.
"Get out of here, I'm going to kill him!"
Dai Hai was hugged by Meng Lei from behind, kicked his feet in mid-air a few times, and gritted his teeth.
"Young people don't get so angry."
Mr. Fuji was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile.
"I still have one!"
Dai Hai saw that many people around him were looking at his jokes, and he was angry, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, returned to normal, turned his head to look at Jenny Turtle on the side, and said:
"Jenny Turtle, take that out.
Also, have you had enough? β
The latter sentence is said to Meng Lei.
Meng Lei let go of his arms a little embarrassed and took a step back.
"He's your teammate?"
Sha Liang secretly glanced at Dai Hai with some curiosity, and leaned over to Meng Lei and whispered:
"This guy has a really hot temper."
Meng Lei shook his head helplessly, with a little headache.
Dai Hai straightened out his somewhat wrinkled blue robe and stared at Jenny shrinking into his shell.
Everyone was stunned at first, but saw that the Jenny turtle slowly stretched out its blue hands and feet and wavy tail.
Of course, the golden oval stone in its mouth was the focus of attention.
Bright yellow oval stone with a lustrous texture and translucent color, with a dark orange color on the inside.
In the center of it there are some very fine dotted particles, which shine with a little red light.
"Amber, like?"
Someone in the crowd spoke uncertainly.
"Amber?
What is that? β
"Stupid!
I don't even know what amber is. β
Someone in the crowd who seemed to know more about amber explained:
"Amber is an oil secreted by trees in the family of coniferous or leguminous trees, and as the earth's crust moves, the trees and resin are buried deeply.
After tens of millions of years of formation pressure and heat, the resin has undergone petrification.
The composition, structure and characteristics of the resin have changed significantly.
Therefore, amber is an organic mixture formed by geological processes, and is a fossil of coniferous or leguminous resins. β
The speaker's voice was crisp and pleasant, like a natural sound, and Meng Lei also felt a little familiar.
Meng Lei carefully searched for the source of the sound, but saw that the source of the voice was a girl wearing a white round hat.
Dressed in a black bodysuit, reddish-brown hair, and bright eyes like elves.
Meng Lei immediately recognized that this girl was Xiaolan who was on the same team as Philo, but he didn't expect her to come to participate in this event.
"Didn't she say three days later?
Is it to participate in this event. β
Meng Lei shook his head, feeling that this was not necessarily the case.
And Xiaolan seemed to have just come out of the hole, she recognized Meng Lei, but she nodded her head from a distance, and Si Nan on the side didn't know what she was talking about in her ear.
"Hmph, a bunch of hillbillies, I don't know what this is."
Dai Hai accepted everyone's adoring gaze with peace of mind, thinking proudly.
"Huh?
Secret Amber?
How do you have this thing? β
Xia Bo glanced at the bright yellow oval stone and said in a lost voice:
"It can't be!"
After saying that, he hurriedly pushed away Fuji in front of him, and squatted in front of Jenny Turtle with some excitement and looked at it vigorously.
"Secret amber?
Are you sure? β
Fuji also looked extremely excited, and took three steps and two steps, and rushed to Xia Bo's side.
The two stared side by side, gazing with interest at the bright yellow stone in Jenny's turtle's mouth.
"Jenny Turtle!"
Dai Hai called, and Jenny Turtle immediately bypassed Xia Bo and the two who were in a daze, and placed the "Secret Amber" in the palm of Dai Hai's left palm.
"Looks like you're pretty sensible.
Can we talk about the price now? β
Dai Hai played with the "Secret Amber" with his left hand, and slanted at the two people squatting on the ground with full contempt.
Xia Bo and Fuji remembered that the thing had not yet reached their hands, and the two looked at each other, a little dumbfounded.
"10,000 gold coins, the same conditions as him."
"Deal!"
Fuji pondered for a moment and agreed to Daikai's conditions.
This time Shaber did not make any objections and seemed to acquiesce to the price.
Yumi, the host on the side, was a little dazed by this sudden reversal, but years of professional reaction made her recover immediately.
"Yikes!
Two dark horses have appeared!
One player was in second place with a total value of 7,200 gold coins due to the excavation of the carapace fossil, and the other..."
Speaking of this, Yumi swallowed the excitement in her heart and said loudly:
"Due to the discovery of the secret amber, it is ranked first with a total value of 10,500 gold coins!"
"Wow!"
The audience suddenly boiled, but the event organizer behind the stage turned pale and his face was like ashes.
"What's wrong? Director! β
The host Yumi didn't hear the director's instructions for a long time, and she began to panic, but she covered it up well.
"It's okay... You go ahead..."
On the silver microphone that Yumi was wearing on top of her head, there was a weak voice.
Yumi didn't really hear it because the crowd was too noisy, and she only heard the word "continue".
And the ranking on the curtain also began to change, Dai Hai topped the list with 10,500 gold coins, followed by Meng Lei - 7,200 gold coins, Lin Yin - 6,000 gold coins, Qianli - 5,100 gold coins, and Seven Seas Shark Liang - 5,000 gold coins.
The sixth place is still the 900 gold coins that have not yet broken 1,000.
Behind the platform curtain.
The director looked at the ranking of the players on the control screen and the corresponding number of gold coins with a dismayed expression, and waved his fat big hand a little painfully, signaling a staff member to come over.
The director whispered a few words in his ear and regained his composure.
Just looking at the word "fossil" on the screen, my eyes are full of irrepressible raging fire!
