"Diamond?" Luo Ji smiled when he heard this word. There was not much surprise or surprise, he just smiled.

Li Ke, who was standing below without thinking much, told what happened when Li Yuanjie first discovered the diamond. Now, Luo Ji couldn't help but smile even happier.

As an ordinary modern person, when hearing the word "diamond", what is the first adjective that comes to mind?

Expensive and valuable, these two adjectives definitely occupy the majority. Based on this basis, if an ordinary person suddenly finds that he has dug a diamond mine, of course he will be ecstatic, and he will inevitably do some nouveau riche-style things.

Stupid thing.

And through Li Ke's mouth, Luo Ji learned that the stupidest thing Li Yuanjie had ever done was to spread the mined diamonds on the bed. This guy was not too embarrassed...

But Li Yuanjie got one thing wrong. A diamond is a delicate thing. To put it bluntly, if Luo Ji said a diamond is valuable, then it is valuable. But if Luo Ji said it is just a broken stone that shines,

, then it can only be a broken stone.

Diamonds, in the early days, were loved by the nobles because of their gorgeous appearance and rare production, and became a symbol of their power, status and wealth.

No one hates beautiful things, and the rare production further increases the value of diamonds. After all, there are many things in this world that can be distinguished by adding words such as 'limited', 'rare', and 'unique'.

Increase value to a certain extent.

And how did it become popular in China later? To put it bluntly and harshly, it was admiration for foreigners...

Of course, it can also be understood as a victory of marketing. ‘A diamond is forever, a diamond will last forever.’ Many people must have heard this advertising slogan, right? Some time ago, they were even brainwashed by this advertising slogan.

It is precisely because of this marketing that the image of diamonds as precious and eternal was completely established. The subsequent overwhelming advertisements directly tied diamonds with ‘love’, ‘loyalty’ and ‘marriage’.

When you want to propose to a woman, bringing a 'pigeon egg' will increase your success rate.

Because for women, a diamond ring can not only satisfy their vanity and enjoy the envious eyes of people around them, but also prove the man's loyalty and love for her. Of course, the bigger the diamond on it, the better.

The bigger it proves, the more he loves you.

The establishment of this concept made China suddenly become the country with the highest demand and sales of diamonds in the world at that time.

But let us look beyond the surface and look at the essence. In fact, the bigger the diamond is, the only thing that can be proved is that the man is richer.

Of course, having money is very important, so in recent years, the diamond market has not been as prosperous as before, because it is now popular for Chinese people to give cars and houses as gifts when they get married...

Although Li Yuanjie was a bit stupid, after a while, he obviously discovered the nature of the diamond. After all, in this era, there is no group of profiteers marketing those diamonds.

The group of orcs under his command looked at it and looked more and more like a fool as it held a pile of luminous stones and giggled. It was impossible not to notice it, so over time, Li Yuanjie casually threw those diamonds into the warehouse and ignored them.

Now Luo Ji asked Li Ke to fetch those diamonds. It has to be said that there are a lot of diamonds. Li Yuanjie was probably so happy when he first discovered them that he wasted a lot of effort to mine diamonds and even lost them.

It took a lot of effort to polish it into a diamond.

However, the craftsmanship of this era was limited, and the diamonds looked really rough, but even so, they still emitted brilliant light under the sunlight.

However, after appreciating this magnificence for a while, Luo Ji casually dropped the thumb-sized diamond on the table, which would probably make many people crazy in modern times.

This diamond was indeed dazzling. However, after losing the packaging it was given, Luo Ji soon felt a sense of aesthetic fatigue.

To put it bluntly, this thing is too superficial, vulgar, and extremely gorgeous in appearance, but it makes people unable to feel anything. It is just superficial and far inferior to the ink jade carp he plays with every day and the jade ring on his thumb.

Endear him.

Of course, according to the current situation, Luo Ji didn't mind marketing the diamond in order to achieve his goal of promoting the commercial development of the orc tribe.

"Huh?" Just as he was thinking about it, there was something special in the small basket of diamonds that caught his eye.

Luo Ji reached in and plucked it. Soon, he took a sky-blue diamond in his hand and gestured towards the sun. The blue diamond suddenly emitted brilliant colors.

"This piece is good, but it's too big. It would be suitable to be mounted on a crown or a scepter, but if used to make jewelry, it would feel a bit tacky."

At this thought, Luo Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked the guard beside him to go outside and pick up a stone. Then he looked at the blue diamond on the table and patted it down with a 'bang'.

Diamond is indeed said to be the hardest mineral in the world, but its toughness is insufficient. In other words, this thing cannot withstand heavy blows. If you hit it with a little force, it will easily break.

At this point, the blue diamond, which in modern society would rank among the top in the world in terms of size, fell on the stone that Luo Ji picked up at random.

After taking the photo, Luo Ji threw the stones away, fiddled with them with his fingers, and picked out two that were about the right size, "Not bad, that's all these two..."

While muttering to himself, Luo Ji quickly took out another piece of paper, and while writing and drawing on the paper, he casually asked, "He Liang, how is the mining and research of the silver mine discovered two months ago?"

How are you doing?"

"According to the people below, it went very smoothly, Your Majesty."

"Very good." Luo Ji nodded with satisfaction, then handed the drawn design drawing and the two blue diamonds to a guard beside him.

"The polishing method and style of diamonds are all on this design drawing. Find me the most skilled craftsman in all civilizations and let him make the two blue diamonds into earrings with silver. As for the rest,

of……"

Having said this, Luo Ji took a look at the pile of 'wrecks' on his desk. It was a complete piece of blue diamonds. There were some big and small pieces. The big ones would probably still be photographable in modern times.

It seems a bit wasteful to pay a sky-high price and just abandon it like this.
