Legend of Heaven Defying Dao - C34
After learning the basics of pinyin, Ling Yan picked up the “Chinese Dictionary” and went to the outer living room. Sitting on the sofa, he started flipping through the pages one by one at a slow but steady pace, turning the pages in about two seconds. With the speed of ordinary people reading, he had yet to finish reading all of the possible words and explanations of the words contained within those two seconds.
Ling Yan was indeed scanning the contents of the page with his Spiritual Sense. The contents of the scanned page were imprinted in the depths of his mind. This kind of terrifying reading ability was similar to copying and copying computers, however, Ling Yan’s reading speed was much faster than copying them.
When he arrived in this new era, he would need to have some new knowledge. To Ling Yan, learning these things was not that important, but Ling Yan felt that this was a treasure of culture that had been passed down throughout his country, and furthermore, he wouldn’t need to spend much time memorizing it with his spiritual sense. It was just that the modern, simplified script was a little different from the traditional script from the ancient times, and it took Ling Yan quite a bit of effort to understand it.
When dinner time came and Fang Hui was ready, Ling Yan finished flipping through the dictionary in his hand and closed it. Ling Yan smiled slightly; although the main function of the dictionary was to identify children and to search for pronunciation, the words and information contained in it could be explained in a myriad of ways. In other words, even astronomy and geography were not an exaggeration.
After undergoing mental training and transformation in the core of his body, the spiritual power in Ling Yan’s sea of consciousness was extremely strong, to the extent that he didn’t even know how strong it was. Anyway, he had been flipping through the dictionary for half a day in the afternoon, scanning it with his soul consciousness while dealing with the huge amount of information in his head.
Ling Yan had nothing to do with food, so he ate a few dishes symbolically at noon. He had to show some face to Fang Hui for the hard work he had done.
Walking up to the table and looking at the simple yet fragrant three dishes and a soup, Ling Yan felt a sense of warmth. Fang Hui said embarrassedly, as he filled his bowl with rice, “Ling Yan, I’m not so short of money these days. I need to prepare some milk powder for my baby for the few hundred yuan I have in my pocket. You have to take more responsibility for the food. We can eat better next month when the salary is paid.”
“Salary?” Ling Yan was puzzled for a moment before coming to a realization. Where would the money come from if they didn’t work? “What shift did you work for?” he asked.
“It’s easy to be a typist in this company. It suits me because my body doesn’t allow me to do physical work.”
Ling Yan sighed. “The most important thing for your current physical condition is to recuperate. Even the easiest work is also a type of pressure. This will be detrimental to your future surgery!”
Fang Hui smiled bitterly and said, “Where would the money come from if I don’t work? If I want to live longer, I have to take medicine every day. One month of buying medicine accounts for the majority of my salary. If I don’t take medicine, I might lose my life at any time!” His words were filled with sadness and sadness, especially when it came from a girl with tricks. It made people’s hearts tremble when they heard it.
Ling Yan smiled lightly and asked, “Are diamonds worth a lot in this world?” After flipping through the dictionary for an entire afternoon, Ling Yan gained a general understanding of the current era and gained a lot of useful information. One of the most useful pieces of information for Ling Yan was that diamonds were one of the most valuable items in the world.
The diamond was originally the product of a crystal, and when it evolved into a crystal, it became a failure due to the lack of condensation of spirit energy. It could also be said to be a secondary crystal, and the spirit energy contained within it was not pure at all, and the spirit energy it contained was pitifully sparse. In the eyes of ordinary people, a diamond that could reflect a beautiful light was a treasure, but in the eyes of cultivators, it was no different from an ordinary stone. Since these things could be valuable, Ling Yan did not want as much as he could to solve the problem of money. Ling Yan was relieved. Fang Hui, Ling Yan only wanted to help her as much as possible, not out of sympathy, but out of kindness and selflessness.
Fang Hui smiled and said, “Of course diamonds are very valuable, even more valuable than gold. Why are you asking this?”
Ling Yan smiled as he stretched out the palm he was holding and slowly opened it. A crystal the size of a thumb appeared in his palm. Fang Hui had never come into contact with a diamond in his life and his understanding of diamonds came from television or movies. At first glance, he did not know what kind of crystals were better than diamonds, but at that moment, Little Treasure threw away the toy in his hand and ran over. He reached out his small hand to grab Ling Yan’s clothes and said, “Big brother, baby wants, baby wants.” Ling Yan chuckled, took out a fist-sized high-grade crystal and gave it to him, telling him to go play at the side.
Fang Hui took the crystal from Ling Yan’s hand and inspected it carefully. He asked uncertainly, “Ling Yan, is this a diamond?” Ling Yan nodded.
Fang Hui’s eyes opened wide in disbelief as he looked at the diamond in his hand, and then he looked at the crystal that Little Treasure was rolling on the ground like a ball. “Then Little Treasure’s piece of crystal is also a diamond?” Fang Hui’s expression was exceptionally wonderful. His fair and charming face looked as if she was crying and smiling, and the way he looked at Ling Yan was more fitting to describe it as “staring.”
Ling Yan nodded his head and smiled. “I have a lot of these things. I only found out that modern people call these things diamonds in the afternoon, and they seem to be very valuable.” Fang Hui was surprised. “Where did you get so many diamonds?” You know, just this small diamond alone is worth millions. The one Little Treasure is playing with is a priceless treasure in the city! ”
“In millions?” Ling Yan had not expected it to be so valuable. To Fang Hui, two hundred thousand was equivalent to one life. Wouldn’t that save dozens of lives?
“Right.” Fang Hui nodded and said, “I remember a piece of news. It said that a country dug out a diamond during mining. It weighed more than three thousand carats and was known as the” Star of Africa “. It was the largest diamond in the world so far and could be said to be priceless.”
He walked over and picked up the gem that Xiaobao was playing with. He weighed it in his hand and said, “I’m afraid this gem is more than 2000 carats long. Ling Yan, where did you get all these from?” This was the second time she had asked where the diamonds had come from. Fang Hui was extremely shocked. It was already impressive for an ordinary person to have just a small piece, but for Ling Yan to have such a large amount of diamonds, it seemed that he had quite a lot.
Ling Yan laughed. “That’s not important. What’s important is that your operating expenses have been paid for. Hur Hur!”
Only then did Fang Hui wake up from the shock of the diamond. With this diamond, the most practical benefit was that he had settled the cost of the operation. Thinking of this, he stared at Ling Yan with his eyes wide open, unable to speak for a long time. Ling Yan couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Fang Hui came back to his senses and whispered, “You want to sell the diamonds for my surgery fee?” “This …”
Ling Yan was puzzled. “From the looks of it, you don’t seem to think that selling these diamonds to save your life is worth it, do you?”
“No, no.” Fang Hui shook his head like a rattle drum. No matter how valuable the diamond was, it was still far from being worth his life.
“We don’t have money, and selling things to raise money for treatment is perfectly justified. A small diamond can save your life, why not? Moreover, I have quite a few of these things. ” As he spoke, Ling Yan took the low-grade crystal from Fang Hui and placed another one into her palm. “This diamond is of a much better quality than the one before. You’ll get an unexpected benefit from it if you keep it.”
Fang Hui looked at the diamond in his hand in surprise. The diamond looked dark red, but there was no lack of sparkles on its surface. Holding it in his hand, he felt a warm feeling spreading all over his body, causing all thirty-six thousand pores on his body to take a deep breath, as if he had just taken a hot bath. Fang Hui wanted to groan to explain himself, but facing Ling Yan, he had no choice but to give up.
Putting the “diamond” in Ling Yan’s hand in front of Ling Yan, he murmured, “You’re going to sell a diamond in my treatment, I can’t take your diamond. Ling Yan, no matter how many diamonds you have or how you treat them, they are yours. If I want one again, it’s my fault.”
In this world, diamonds represented wealth and glory, also represented eternity. It was something people yearned for in their dreams, and who would not want them? But Fang Hui had his own code of conduct, so he had no choice but to accept favors.
Ling Yan secretly praised him, saying, “Then you can take it. How about you return it to me when I leave?”
Fang Hui thought for a while, and seeing that Ling Yan’s hands were sore, he put it away and put it into his pocket.
The next morning, Fang Hui went to the company to submit his resignation letter and show his medical record. It was a pity that the company that Fang Hui worked for was only a small one in the country. If sick employees like Fang Hui were to appear in large multinational companies, the operating expenses might even be reimbursed. However, Fang Hui was satisfied. Although the company that went to work was small in size, it was not particularly cold-blooded. It had also given him a reward of ten thousand red tickets. The only reason why Fang Hui showed the medical record was to let the executives of the Ministry of Finance, who only knew that they had nothing better to do, feel more comfortable paying their collateral and this month’s salary back. He didn’t want to make extra money.
Shaking the big and small bags in his hands, Fang Hui returned home in high spirits. In the past two years, Fang Hui had been the happiest. The days of despair had already become yesterday. His youth still belonged to him, and he could have a future like other people his age and look forward to his own future.
