Chapter 129



Although she learned some techniques of digging oysters from Lu Chuanbei, Song Tiantian was still too young after all. After digging for a while, her arms started to feel sore.

Lu Chuanbei asked the little guy to stop and rest at the right time: "Okay, if you keep digging, your little arm won't be able to lift up tomorrow."

"But there are still a lot here." Song Tiantian looked at the densely packed oysters on the oyster bed and really didn't want to give up.

"And Dad." Lu Chuanbei raised his eyebrows at Song Tiantian and said, "Why don't you believe Dad?"

"Believe it!" Song Tiantian responded loudly.

Lu Chuanbei nodded in satisfaction: "Then you go to the side and rest for a while, and let Dad take care of the rest."

"Yeah," Song Tiantian nodded quickly, and found a rock nearby to sit down and rest.

Song Tiantian wiggled her little feet and watched Lu Chuanbei prying oysters with a shovel. Soon He Xuebin also ran over.

"Oh my god, just like Director Xu said, there are so many oysters here."

"Yes, oysters like to grow where there are oyster beds. And judging by the size of these oyster beds, they must have been growing here for quite some time."

"It's good that it's not short. It's a bargain for us." He Xuebin eagerly picked up the shovel and started prying with Lu Chuanbei: "Let's dig more. Director Xu said he can go back and make grilled oysters for us later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuanbei immediately sped up his hands.

While the two big men were working hard to grill the oysters, Song Tiantian, who had taken a short break, started wandering around.

Lu Chuanbei hurriedly looked towards her and shouted, "Tiantian, don't run too far."

"I'll stay here and won't go far." Song Tiantian shouted and started walking beside the oyster bed.

At this moment, Song Tiantian saw a small pointed lid moving little by little in the small ditch under the oyster bed.

Upon seeing this, Song Tiantian immediately squatted down and kept looking into the ditch.

At this glance, Song Tiantian saw a large conch with a pointed cap hovering on its head, moving slowly under the ditch.

"Wow, what a beautiful conch."

What conch?

[Did Tiantian find the conch? ]

I was wondering why she had been squatting there for so long. Turns out she found a conch.

[Let me see what this giant conch that Tiantian praised as beautiful actually smells like and looks like!]

[Haha, the person above is craving conch! However, these conchs are really...]

Before the barrage of comments had completely faded from the screen, Song Tiantian in the live broadcast room grabbed the beautiful large conch out of the small ditch.

In an instant, the big conch held in Tiantian's hand attracted the attention of all the audience.

A fan who loves visiting aquariums and has even been to the Shell and Coral Museum was struck by the conch's cone-shaped shell, with alternating red and yellow patterns, resembling a burning flame dotted with countless flames. Furthermore, under the moonlight, the conch's shell shimmered like a pearl.

Upon seeing this, the fan couldn't help but gasp, immediately took a screenshot of the conch, and quickly searched it online.

Other fans were already amazed by the appearance of this conch.

Is this a conch?

[This conch is so beautiful! ]

[Oh my god, I've never seen such a beautiful conch in my life. And what's with the patterns on it? They look like wisps of flames. It's so beautiful!]

[Slurp, this beautiful looking conch must be delicious too, right?]

I can already imagine how this conch would taste after being braised, steamed, or boiled. It must be delicious.

[No, I'm a little greedy...]

My dears, I've confirmed this conch is the Dragon Palace Conch. It's a living fossil among conchs, and there are rumors online that a single Dragon Palace Conch can fetch millions, making it one of the most expensive conchs in the world!

【Wait, what did you post above? 】

[The comments flashed by so quickly, I don't think I saw it clearly. Is anyone posting it again?]

[I think this conch shell costs over a million or something...]

[That's impossible. It's just a conch. There's no way it could sell for a million.]

[Rich people are not stupid. How could they spend so much money just to sell a conch that is not enough to fill their stomach?]

And at this moment, the fans who had just posted the barrage all refreshed the information of Longgong Wengrongluo several times.

At this moment, all the comments stopped.

Only the fans who just received the science popularization are still refreshing the screen.

The staff member who was originally having a midnight snack had not paid much attention to the changes in the barrage of comments here, but the moment he looked up, the content that was flooding the screen in the live broadcast room immediately made him sit up straight.

【Oh my god! 】

【Fuck! 】

Oh my god!

Is this true?

Is this content that our non-paying fans can watch?

[Wow, so we really saw a conch worth over a million dollars?]

As soon as they saw this content, the staff's eyes immediately became serious.

He quickly called up the content of the live broadcast. When he saw the popular science content on the barrage and the conch in Song Tiantian's hand, the staff immediately stood up and ran towards Director Liu's dormitory, who had already gone back to rest. "Oh no, Director Liu, something terrible has happened!"

Director Liu, who was old and couldn't stand staying up late, had just felt sleepy and was about to go to bed when he heard a commotion coming from outside.

Upon hearing the sound, Director Liu immediately got up, grabbed his coat and walked towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, the staff immediately shouted to Director Liu, "Director Liu, sweet live broadcast, sweet live broadcast..."

"What happened to Tiantian's live broadcast?" Director Liu asked quickly, "What happened to her? Did she have an accident?"

The staff member swallowed hard and nodded, "Yes, Tiantian..."

"What happened to her?" Director Liu was so anxious that sweat was almost forming on his forehead. Then he heard a staff member, who had just recovered his breath, excitedly say to him, "Tiantian found a dragon-shaped conch while fishing. The commentary said the conch she found is worth over a million yuan."

Director Liu's eyes suddenly widened. "What did you say? Over a million yuan worth of conch shells?"

Song Tiantian grabbed the conch and ran happily towards the oyster bed where Lu Chuanbei and the others were. "Dad, Dad, look, I caught a beautiful big conch!"

"Really?" Lu Chuanbei looked up and subconsciously glanced at the conch in Song Tiantian's hand.

At this glance, Lu Chuanbei was also amazed by the conch in her hand: "Oh my God, what kind of conch is this? Why is it so beautiful?"

"Let me see, let me see." He Xuebin hurriedly poked his head out from behind: "Oh my goodness, is this a conch? It's not some conch craft or something?"

"No, it was moving just now!" Song Tiantian said as she was about to poke the conch.

At this moment, Director Liu's urgent voice suddenly came from the drone: "Xiao Lu, Da Bin, look at the conch in Tiantian's hand! This is a Dragon Palace Wengrong conch worth millions!"

"What?"

"A conch worth a million?"

The other people who were going to the beach also heard the sound coming from the drone.

Fang Xiuzhu and Xu Qi looked at each other, immediately dropped the bucket, and pulled the two children towards the oyster bed where Song Tiantian and the others were.

When they came over, Director Liu and others were also on their way.

Moreover, in order to show his importance to this dragon palace snail, Director Liu also temporarily found a glass jar and brought it over.

When he arrived, Lu Chuanbei and others were surrounding Song Tiantian, staring at the conch in her hand.

"Is this conch really worth a million as Director Liu said?" He Xuebin considered himself a knowledgeable person, but this was the first time he had seen a conch worth one million.

"Is it one million or one kilogram?" The ignorant Lu Chuanbei was still a little dazed when looking at the conch.

"If this conch is really the Dragon Palace Weng Ring Conch that Director Liu mentioned, then it is indeed worth one million." Xu Qi looked at the conch in Song Tiantian's hand and said, "Tiantian, can I take a look at this conch?"

"Sure." Song Tiantian simply handed over the conch in her hand.

It was done in a neat and tidy manner, as if he was handing over an ordinary conch, without any hesitation at all.

Xu Qi, on the other hand, subconsciously took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands before taking the conch from Song Tiantian's hand and examining it carefully. "It's cone-shaped overall, with a brightly colored shell and a flame-like pattern. Furthermore, the surface fluoresces under the refraction of light."

"If I remember correctly, this is indeed the Dragon Palace Weng Rong Snail."

"Director Xu, you know all this?" He Xuebin looked at him in surprise.

"I also saw it in a documentary about living marine fossils," Xu Qi said, carefully holding the dragon palace snail. "It just so happened to have information about the dragon palace snail there, and I happened to be filming a food documentary about seafood at the time, so I took a closer look."

[Good boy, I never expected this reason! ]

[Sure enough, foodies focus on different things than us ordinary people.]

[Uh-huh... Just now, when I didn't know this conch was a Dragon Palace Ring Conch, who was asking if it looked good and tasted good too?]

[I'm being honest, I sent it... But now I'm also curious, this conch is so expensive, is it also delicious?]

[Me too... It's a shame it's too expensive. I'd better buy some conch for ten yuan each to try.]

[Hehe, I'm a bit different. I just want to know, after Tiantian and the others know the price of this conch, are they willing to try it for everyone else...]
