Seeing Chu Yu's surprised expression, Xiao Yue's face changed slightly, and she asked timidly, "Sister Chu Yu, is the little turtle not okay?"
She took out a few copper coins from her pocket and said with a heavy heart, "I still have some copper coins here. Is this enough for you?"
Chu Yu came to her senses and realized that she had misunderstood. She told her the truth: "Xiaoyue, your little turtle is made of diamonds. It's very valuable. You could buy it with diamonds, not just a box of carrots, but a super luxurious villa."
Xiaoyue was a little surprised: "Is this little turtle really that valuable?"
Chu Yu exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, this is a diamond. In the human world, a gram of diamond can sell for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue and the old village chief were all surprised.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Chu Yu suddenly realized that the demon realm and the human realm were not connected. They still retained the ancient lifestyle and values. In ancient times, diamonds were not widely used, so it was normal for them not to recognize them.
Chu Yu patiently explained to them, and they understood after listening, but they weren't very surprised.
Xiaoyue tilted her head and raised her eyebrows, saying, "These kinds of diamonds are everywhere in the caves behind our village, but nobody usually wants them."
Chu Yu was shocked. The entire cave was filled with diamonds. Could it be a diamond mine?
Chu Yu was a little excited and asked, "Can you take me to see it?"
Xiaoyue couldn't make up her mind, so she looked up at the old village chief, who nodded in agreement: "Okay, we'll take you there to have a look."
Chu Yu followed the old village chief toward the back of the village.
Arriving at the back of the mountain, we entered a cave. The cave was sparkling with light, filled with diamonds—not only transparent diamonds, but also pink, red, and purple diamonds.
Chu Yu was dazzled and excited. My goodness, it really is a diamond mine.
The old village chief calmly explained to Chu Yu, "Besides this cave, the other caves are all the same, all made of this kind of crystal."
Chu Yu was overjoyed.
My goodness, I can't believe I've ever seen such a rich diamond mine in my lifetime.
Looking at those glittering diamonds, it was as if I were seeing countless banknotes.
The old village chief, unfazed, said, "There are too many crystals here, but they're mostly useless. People don't even glance at them usually, only occasionally picking some up to make jewelry."
Chu Yu glanced at their calm expressions and thought to herself, "Luckily, we're in the demon realm. If we were in the human world, this rare diamond mine would have been taken over by the government long ago."
If these diamonds were to enter the human market, they would probably drive diamond prices down to rock bottom.
Xiaoyue blinked her beautiful eyes with a hint of expectation and asked, "Sister Chuyu, since this kind of crystal is very valuable in your human world, can we use it to exchange for your carrots? We are very short of food here, and everyone is starving and emaciated."
Chu Yu nodded repeatedly: "You can change it."
Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, and she and Sanhua immediately picked up a box full of diamonds and placed it in front of Chu Yu. Xiaoyue excitedly asked, "Can this box of crystals be exchanged for a box of carrots?"
Chu Yu gasped in astonishment: "My goodness, let alone a box of carrots, there could be as many as you want!"
Xiaoyue, the old village chief, and the others looked very happy.
Xiaoyue seized the opportunity to ask, "Can you supply us with a continuous stream of carrots?"
Chu Yu thought of something and earnestly advised, "I can supply you with some carrots, but as the saying goes, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. You still need to grow vegetables and fruit trees, develop the planting industry, and be self-reliant. That's the way to go in the long run."
The old village chief understood her good intentions, stroked his white beard, and agreed: "You're right. Then we'll trouble Miss Chu Yu to send us some seeds, saplings, and planting books. As for these crystals, take as many as you like."
Chu Yu readily agreed: "Okay."
Then, Chu Yu warned them not to expose these mineral veins if any mortals came by, otherwise some greedy people would have bad ideas.
The old village chief agreed.
An hour later, Chu Yu rode his electric scooter back to the human world.
She didn't take the diamonds from the mine; she only brought back the little diamond turtle that Xiaoyue had given her.
Back at the courtyard house, Jiang Huai'an happened to be home.
She told Jiang Huai'an about delivering takeout to the demon realm and took out the little diamond turtle.
When Jiang Huai saw it, his eyes lit up: "Holy crap, such a big diamond turtle, how much is it worth?"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "It's worth a lot of money, but we're not short of money right now, so let's just keep it for now."
She handed the little turtle to Jiang Huai'an, asking him to put it in the vault, and reminded him not to tell anyone that there was a diamond mine in Baiyao Village.
Jiang Huai'an agreed and once again cast an envious glance at her.
She made a fortune from this deal.
Afterwards, Chu Yu took the soil she brought back from the demon realm and went to an agricultural research institute not far away to inquire about planting.
The people at the agricultural research institute were very kind. They studied the soil, told Chu Yu which vegetables and fruit trees to plant, and even gave her several books related to planting.
After studying diligently, Chu Yu went to the seed market to buy seeds and fruit tree seedlings.
She bought some to experiment with first, and then planted them on a large scale after they survived.
After making her purchases, she went to the market and bought some carrots and vegetables before returning to the demon realm and arriving at the Hundred Demon Village.
When she arrived in the village, the old village chief and the others had already reclaimed some wasteland, and Chu Yu took the opportunity to guide them to start planting.
In the following days, Chu Yu would go to Baiyao Village whenever he had free time to guide them in planting vegetables and fruit trees and to check on the results.
Growing vegetables and trees is not something that can be accomplished overnight, so Chu Yu reached a long-term cooperation agreement with them.
The old village chief and the villagers of Baiyao Village were very grateful to her, and every time she returned, they would bring her some diamonds.
After some time, Chu Yu's safe was filled with diamonds, including some rare pink, purple, and red diamonds. When it was too full, Chu Yu asked Fu Yunche for help to take some to a jewelry company to have a batch of diamond jewelry made for sale.
This series of moves made her a fortune.
Looking at the long string of zeros on the back of the bank card, Chu Yu became rich once again.
Including the wealth in the demon realm, she was incredibly rich, enough to last several lifetimes.
Feeling great!
...
After being busy in the demon realm for a while, Fu Yunche began to have complaints.
Since they started dating, Chu Yu has been constantly busy, which has meant they haven't had much time to spend together.
Chu Yu had no choice but to take a weekend off to go on a date with him.
The night before their date, Chu Yu planned to buy some new clothes. Fu Yunche suggested that a designer bring the latest styles to their home so she could choose whatever she wanted, as he always did. Chu Yu declined, saying that while it was convenient, it would take away the fun of shopping.
Fu Yunche doted on her and suggested going shopping with her as a pre-date, which Chu Yu readily agreed to.
