Upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, the reporter’s face changed instantly, his expression stiffened. However, he quickly reacted, thought of something, and his eyes brightened as if he had found a breakthrough, and he blurted out:

"Isn’t it you who paid the money? Didn’t you previously say that the money was transferred from Earl Windsor Reed’s personal account to your Swiss Bank account, and then transferred out from your account? Why are you saying now that you didn’t pay the money? Isn’t this contradictory? Why, Miss Huo, did you not coordinate your statements with Mr. Windsor before the press conference?"

Huo Sining shrugged: "I haven’t finished what I was saying, my reporter friend, why so excited?"

"The money was indeed transferred by Earl Windsor to my account, and it was indeed used to purchase the beast heads. But you have overlooked a fact, Mr. Reporter, the reason I was able to get this sum from Mr. Windsor was because I traded a batch of high-quality diamonds with him."

The reporter was taken aback, but Huo Sining continued before he could refute:

"To be honest, my trip to America this time was originally to attend the birthday celebration of a friend’s grandfather. I hadn’t anticipated meeting Earl Windsor, nor was I aware of an auction happening in Philadelphia, so I was unprepared. I only brought a suitcase with two sets of clothes and a gift for the old man."

"As you may know, I recently donated three billion to the Qingya Disaster Area, and also put my entire Beauty Group into a foundation, so when I went to America for the birthday banquet, my own wallet was already flat, I had no money, that’s the truth."

"However, at my friend’s grandfather’s birthday banquet, I happened to hear from Earl Windsor about the auction in Philadelphia. Although I had no money in hand, I still wanted to try my luck."

"As it turned out, once I arrived in Philadelphia, due to various circumstances, I learned that the twelve zodiac animal heads would appear at the auction. Upon hearing this, I immediately called my master back home, who is sitting beside me now, Professor Zhou Shitao."

"He was very supportive and insisted that we must spare no expense to win those two beast heads."

Recalling the time in Philadelphia, where she was overwhelmed and under immense pressure, and her subsequent rush to Oregon against Alden, Huo Sining now realizes how lucky she was and can’t help but show a bitter smile.

"A skilled woman can’t make brick without straw; I knew this auction would be a fierce war without gunfire. I strongly wanted to obtain those two beast heads, but I was financially strapped."

"Sometimes, desperation leads to unorthodox solutions. At the time, my companion, a student from the archaeology program at S University and my cousin, Miss Su Qingqing, posted a query online. Maybe you can still find it if you search the web now."

"She asked how to make money quickly in America, as much as possible. The post was made on China’s forum, Haijiao Forum."

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s claim, action-oriented netizens immediately accessed Haijiao Forum, using the post search function. With the Luoyang Shovel give it a go, the thread was instantly unearthed like excavation, precisely one posted a week ago title matching the content appeared!

"Whoa, it’s real!"

"It’s true. That post is still there, not deleted!"

"What are these replies? So many irrelevant comments, there’s hardly any constructive answers!"

"Isn’t that obvious? Anyone seeing such a puzzling post would just think someone’s gone mad in their quest for riches; not getting flamed is a blessing already; no way anyone would give any substantial advice, right?"

"Exactly, posts like this are either experience posts or bait posts; few people respond seriously!"

As net users commenced quarrels in the live comments, Huo Sining carried on:

"It’s an interesting post, and also a bewildering one, at least when I first saw the post my cousin made. My first impression was: driven to madness by the idea of making money. Another thought was: such a post wouldn’t get any attention unless someone’s really idle and bored!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Interestingly enough, there really were people who engaged with it. And quite a few responses came, although most were nonsensical, among the random replies, we genuinely found a somewhat reliable suggestion!"

The crazed net watchers erupted:

"And there’s still reliable advice here? How did I miss that?"

"I didn’t see it either; I went through that post thoroughly, nothing legit, all jokes on the OP."

"Oh wow, I saw a reply suggesting Oregon’s Volcano Park, could it be that?"

"Huo Sining and her team went to Volcano Park, and looking at the agreement’s time stamp, it’s a day after the post appeared. Damn, did they head to Oregon based on that suggestion?"

"I’m losing it; I have a guess, the diamonds Huo Sining traded with Mr. Windsor Reed, could they be..."

"Mining diamonds at Volcano Park, $350 million USD? This world has gone mad?"

"Whoa, that’s impossible!!!"

A group of netizens shouted at their screens while watching the live stream, unable to accept the truth behind the park agreement released by Huo Sining, yet no one believed it connected to the $350 million USD-worth of diamonds she traded!

Seemingly expecting such reactions, Huo Sining predicted the shocking expressions from the viewers, she couldn’t help but look toward the live camera, smiling slightly:

"Thanks to the advice of the 79th level poster, yes, upon seeing your reply, we purchased plane tickets to Oregon the very same afternoon and arrived in Polante by evening and stayed at Volcano Park for two days."

"As speculated, we unearthed over a hundred diamonds at Volcano Park, with the largest surpassing six hundred carats, while the smallest was the size of a quail egg. This batch of diamonds was sold to Mr. Windsor Reed, successfully raising funds for bidding on the two beast heads!"
