Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.

"Brother! Brother! Look!"

Clutching the ring, Lin Siyu rushed to Lin Mo in a few quick steps, raising her hand high.

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke excitedly.

"I touched it! It's right in the crack of the turtle's shell! Bro, do you think it's a real diamond?"

The surrounding crew members all crowded around, craning their necks.

His gaze was fixed intently on the glittering light at Lin Siyu's fingertips.

"My goodness... if this were real, how much would it be worth?"

One of the crew members couldn't help but swallow.

"It looks so real! The cut, the brilliance—you couldn't replicate this effect with a fake, could you?"

"It's hard to say. With technology so advanced these days, they can even cut eighteen facets out of glass."

Upon hearing this, Lin Siyu immediately became displeased. She gripped the ring even tighter and retorted.

"It's not glass at all! The feel is completely different! It's cold to the touch and incredibly heavy!"

As she spoke, she held the ring up to Lin Mo's eyes again and asked expectantly.

"Brother, what do you think?"

The chat room was completely in an uproar.

Holy crap! A sea turtle bringing wealth?! What an incredible encounter!

[Prying a diamond ring out of a barnacle? I've only ever seen this kind of plot in novels!]

[Hey streamer, don't just stand there! Quickly check it out! Is it real or fake? Give us guys a straight answer!]

I bet it's fake. Who would throw a real diamond ring into the sea?

Even if it fell, it would be deep in the ocean. How could it possibly be stuck on a sea turtle and then be pulled up by you?

[Upstairs, this is called fate! Do you understand fate? This is a gift from the sea!]

Even if it's fake, a zircon that big could sell for several thousand dollars, right? It's a steal!

Lin Mo did not answer her sister's question immediately.

His gaze shifted from the ring to the enormous sea turtle.

Strangely enough, ever since Lin Siyu took the ring out of its shell, this big guy has become completely quiet.

It lay motionless on the deck, its huge head slightly raised, its two black bean-like eyes half-closed.

He also made a gurgling, satisfied sound from his throat.

It's as if cleaning out the barnacles and snails is just to make it feel comfortable.

Removing the "small stone" that had been stuck in the crevice for who knows how long truly relieved its suffering.

It even stretched its neck and gently rubbed against Lin Siyu's calf, as if to express its gratitude.

"Look, look! It's rubbing against me!"

Lin Siyu exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Mo watched this scene and felt a little strange.

He took the ring from his sister.

The ring felt heavy in my hand, with the cold, metallic texture characteristic of metal.

The ring setting appears to be platinum, with a line of illegible cursive letters engraved on it.

The diamond at the top, estimated to be at least three carats, is perfectly cut with almost no impurities.

Although Lin Mo is not a jewelry expert, he has seen many good things.

He really couldn't tell just by looking at him.

The viewers in the live stream were even more anxious than he was.

[Hey host, say something! We've been waiting forever!]

Shine a flashlight on it and observe the reflected light!

[What's the point? High-quality imitation moissanite these days has even more fire and sparkle than real diamonds!]

How about... you bite it?

[Upstairs, you show-off! That's gold! Can you even bite through diamonds? Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?]

Looking at the chaotic barrage of comments, a simple and direct idea suddenly popped into Lin Mo's mind.

Diamonds are the hardest natural substance.

If this is true...

He weighed the ring in his hand, then suddenly looked up and said to everyone.

"Make way, everyone."

The crew members were puzzled, but they obediently took a few steps back.

Lin Siyu also looked at him with curiosity.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Mo didn't speak, but simply raised the ring in his hand.

Then, to everyone's astonishment...

He slammed the ring down hard onto the solid steel deck beneath his feet!

"Bang!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out, sounding particularly loud on the silent deck.

"Brother! What are you doing!"

Lin Siyu screamed, her heart aching so much she almost jumped up.

The crew members were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

The live stream chat exploded instantly.

【Holy crap!!! Streamer, are you crazy?!】

What a waste! Even if it's fake, it's still money!

[Oh no, oh no! Is the streamer an idiot? If this is true, hundreds of thousands of yuan are gone just like that!]

I'm having a heart attack! Help me!

[Moge: I can't tell if it's real or not, but I can tell if it's fake.]

Good heavens, physical analysis is the most lethal!

Everyone stared intently at the ground.

Lin Mo also bent down and picked up the ring.

He blew off any dust that wasn't even there, then held it up in the sunlight.

The ring is intact.

The dazzling diamond, without a single scratch, still shone with a brilliant light, even more dazzling than before.

Everyone looked down at the deck again.

A clear crater has appeared where the object was hit!

The steel deck was dented by the impact!

A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the deck.

Now, no professional appraisal is needed anymore.

The result is self-evident.

"It really is a diamond..."

One of the crew members stammered, his eyes wide as saucers.

"We've struck it rich! We're rich!"

"How much is this worth? It's so big! It must be worth at least two hundred thousand, right?"

"Two hundred thousand? You're underestimating a three-carat diamond! Look at the clarity and cut, it's good enough for an auction!"

The crew members instantly erupted in excitement, their faces flushed with elation.

Lin Siyu snapped out of her shock, snatched the ring, and hugged it to her chest like a precious treasure.

Then he gave Lin Mo a good beating on the back.

"You scared me to death! Bro, you scared me to death! What if you broke it?!"

"If it's broken, it means it's fake."

Lin Mo rubbed his back and said casually.

Looking at his sister's greedy expression, he felt both amused and exasperated.

This luck is truly unbelievable.

I caught a sea turtle at sea, cleaned up some barnacles, and ended up getting a diamond ring as a bonus.

Lin Siyu hugged the diamond ring and grinned foolishly for a while, then turned her gaze to the sea turtle.

She ran over excitedly, leaned against the turtle's back again, and even patted its smooth shell in a serious manner.

"Hey, big turtle, do you have any of these shiny little stones left on you?"

"Give me a few more? I'll trade you some dried fish!"

The sea turtle, of course, couldn't understand her words; it simply wiggled its massive flippers comfortably.

Lin Mo walked over and tapped her on the head in an annoyed manner.

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's put it back in the sea."

"Oh……"

Lin Siyu pouted, somewhat reluctantly.

"Um...can I take a picture with it? I'll never see such a big sea turtle again."

"Take the picture."

Lin Mo nodded and took out his phone.

"yeah!"

Lin Siyu immediately became excited and, not caring whether the deck was dirty or not, lay down next to the sea turtle.

With her face turned to the side, she made a peace sign with one hand and gently rested the other on the tortoise shell.

The sun was shining brightly, and its gentle light spilled onto the deck.

A huge, dark green sea turtle lay quietly beside a girl with a bright smile.

The scene was strangely harmonious.

The viewers in the live stream were also stunned.

[Ahhh! This scene is so beautiful!]

[Screenshots! Take screenshots like crazy!]

This looks like something out of an animal protection association poster!

[The little girl is so cute! The turtle is so cute too!]

Lin Mo was also slightly taken aback, then pressed the shutter to record this rare moment for his sister.

After taking the photo, he zoomed in and examined it carefully.

But as he looked at it, his brows slowly furrowed.

Something's not right...

He muttered to himself.

At first, everyone's attention was on the barnacles on the turtle's back and the diamond ring.

No one observed the turtle itself closely.

Lin Mo subconsciously thought it was huge and assumed it was an adult leatherback tortoise.

But now, when he calms down and carefully observes the patterns on its shell and the features of its head through the photos.

An astonishing thought came to mind.

This is no ordinary leatherback turtle!

Its carapace is not made of leathery skin, but rather of large, scaly plates pieced together to create a beautiful symmetrical pattern.

Information about leatherback turtles flashed through Lin Mo's mind.

Adult leatherback turtles typically range in length from 1 to 1.5 meters and weigh about 200 kilograms.

But the one in front of us, judging by the length of its carapace alone, is over three meters long!

This physique completely overturned his understanding!

Could it be a mutation? Or is it a super giant among leatherback turtles that has never been recorded before?

Regardless of the possibility, the scientific research value of this sea turtle probably far exceeds that diamond ring worth hundreds of thousands!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo's heart began to race.

He made a decision immediately.

This sea turtle cannot be released yet!
