“A stone costs tens of millions, but if this money is exchanged for food, how many people can eat it? You’ve never seen a drought or flood, nor have you seen a locust plague. You don’t know how hard it is to farm. Naturally, you can’t empathize with the working people.”

“But I’ve seen it before, so I don’t think it’s worth it to spend so much money on a stone.”

Mo Yu was not lying. In the three years of the apocalypse, she had really seen those disasters.

The earliest disaster was drought. During the drought, there was no rain for at most a month. The ground dried up, and the cracks on the ground were like a mouth that wanted to swallow people.

At that time, people did not realize this problem until someone scrolled through a short video and saw crops die in the soil. Farmers’ tears flowed down their faces and they scolded the heavens for being unfair.

Mo Yu remembered that after the report came out, someone calculated that an acre of land would cost almost three thousand yuan.

Later on, there was a flood disaster. The food that had barely survived the drought was impacted again. When people finally took it seriously, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions all appeared.

Food prices rose crazily. The poor could not afford it and could only eat wild grass and tree bark. When these were gone, they could only eat soil and use the illusion of being full to numb themselves.

At that time, Mo Yu was still in university. She helplessly watched her classmates starve to death and be bitten by zombies, watched them stand on the roof in despair and watched them jump down. She could not do anything and even used all her strength to survive.

In the first year of the apocalypse, Mo Yu completely relied on her insignificant common sense and good luck to survive. At that time, the population had decreased sharply, and the government had also spent money and effort to barely build an underground shelter so that survivors like them could eat their fill and have a place to shelter from the wind.

Just like that, she slowly got on the right track. Mo Yu also lived for three years with difficulty.

Although she knew that she would not face such a situation again, she could not help but tremble when she recalled the pain of not being able to eat enough for the first year.

Mo Yu looked at the camera and calmly explained how difficult it was to grow and produce food.

If one looked at her carefully, they would realize that her eyes were already red and her voice was trembling slightly.

“I’ve never denied the fact that I lived in the countryside, but I think you people are even more detestable. You rely on the fact that you were born into a good family to casually judge people at the bottom. I’ve never seen anything good, but I know what’s more valuable than these gems. Thirty million yuan. A primary school only needs five million yuan to be constructed. How many opportunities for children to be able to study can be exchanged for with this diamond? How many people who can’t afford to eat can be fed?”

When Mo Yu said the last sentence, it was almost like a sigh. Her voice was light, but it was heavy.

“If you really like that diamond that much, take it. Thirty million is considered an expensive way to gain face.” After Mo Yu finished speaking, she did not care about anyone else and turned to leave the venue.

Gu Lian took a deep look at the camera and sized up Bai Feng before turning around to chase after her.

The auctioneer was well-trained after all. When he saw that one of the final competitors had run away, he hurriedly raised the hammer. “32 million going once, 32 million going twice, 32 million going thrice! Deal! Congratulations to Mr. Bai Feng for buying this top-grade pink diamond for 32 million!”

Bai Feng bought this diamond in a daze, and Mo Xue was about to collapse. This was completely different from what that mysterious person had said! He had clearly said that it would be bid for 99,999,000!

Bai Feng did not know about Mo Xue’s thoughts. He smiled at Mo Xue and went forward to hold her hand. “Xiao Xue, I did it. I said that I wanted to use this diamond as a memento of our relationship. Now, are you willing to accept this diamond and my sincerity in front of everyone?”

“I, I…” Mo Xue was so embarrassed that her toes almost dug out a manor on the ground. She did not expect that she would be so embarrassed when she experienced such a confession scene. However, when she thought that her life of being pampered was about to begin, Mo Xue still nodded shyly and whispered, “I’m willing..’1
