Fang Zhao's discovery of dinosaur fossils on the island caused many island owners who had originally intended to sell their islands to hurriedly pull down their signs and contact professional exploration teams to investigate their own islands and the seabed near them.
No, they had to contact three different teams to check three times before they could be at ease!
"Quick, quick, quick! Check if there are any fossils buried on my island! "
In a short period of time, many fossil exploration teams that had been neglected and were on the verge of disbanding came back to life!
It was a pity that the senior research teams were all focused on Fang Zhao's island. They didn't know if there were fossils on other islands, but Fang Zhao's island definitely had fossils, and it was a big one!
As a result, anxious island owners could only look for geological survey teams or other non-scientific research teams. There were also some teams that were already on their way to Fang Zhao's small island that decided to change their route at the last minute for the sake of the high rewards. They decided to check out their employer's island first. Perhaps they would also detect fossils?
The most depressed person was the previous island owner who had sold his island to Fang Zhao.
He was well aware of the many shortcomings of his island. It was remote and difficult to manage. Remodeling it would definitely cost a lot, and based on market conditions, it would be impossible to quickly commercialize it. He had been so happy when he had sold it, but he had thrown out a problem.
But how long had it been since he had sold it?
Had it been half a month?
The previous island owner nearly spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw the news. He was filled with regret and hatred. His depressed face was contorted.
However, business transactions were like this. It was hard to say who was the winner. Yesterday, he had thought he was the big winner. Today, he realized he had lost all face. Look at how many people online were laughing at the person who had sold his island to Fang Zhao!
The previous island owner's heart bled at the thought of the fossils buried under the island.
How regretful!
He should have done a thorough survey of the island back then!
Fang Zhao!
Treacherous!
Too treacherous!
He wouldn't believe it if he said he hadn't received the news beforehand!
He must have known that there were dinosaur fossils under the island and was in a hurry to buy it!
Indeed, Fang Zhao's every move had a purpose! Every move was worth studying. You simply couldn't guess what his next step would be!!
Because Fang Zhao's news had stirred up too many fields, people from all over the world were discussing it. Even Mo Lang, who didn't pay much attention to the news, knew about it.
Mo Lang had originally thought that Fang Zhao would be on that remote island preparing for the performance. He had never expected that just a few days later, another storm would arise!
Still worried, Mo Lang hurriedly gave Fang Zhao a call and told him not to forget about his upcoming performance because of the fossil. That was a very important matter that concerned his future!
Of course, Fang Zhao had not forgotten about that important performance. Other than dealing with the fossil issue, he had spent the rest of his time preparing for the performance.
After placating the anxious Mo Lang and ending the call, Fang Zhao saw Curly Hair walking over.
Curly Hair ran in front of Fang Zhao and lifted his chin as though he was looking at the sky.
"The new collar looks good on you. It looks good," Fang Zhao said.
Curly Hair called out happily and said, "I will find another place to dig for bones next time!"
"You like digging bones?" Fang Zhao asked.
"I like it!" Curly Hair answered without hesitation. There was a game console to play when digging bones! Look at how it managed to obtain a game console and a terminal just by digging out half a bone. What a great thing!
Fang Zhao thought of something and nodded. "Alright."
He had changed his mind. He had originally intended to use the fossil to exchange for dog food, but now that Curly Hair could control his own transformation and forage for food in the ocean, he could afford to keep Curly Hair as long as he didn't transform for too long.
Furthermore, he reckoned that he could earn some dog food money from this fossil incident. There was no need to rush to sell the fossil. In the future, if Curly Hair came back with any other fossil bones or other items, he would help Curly Hair keep them well.
Didn't his old comrade Su Mu's book say, "Treat every gift they give you seriously?" Fang Zhao felt that these words made sense.
Or, he could just set up a private collection hall and store all the items Curly Hair picked up.
The more Fang Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.
Digging bones was better than playing games at home all day.
Fang Zhao had already told Curly Hair about the many strangers coming to the island. Curly Hair wasn't worried. He could already control his interference and wouldn't suddenly transform to scare people. He wasn't worried about being exposed no matter how many people came.
However, with even more outsiders coming to his territory, Curly Hair decided to patrol his territory, both above and below the water!
"Is this personal terminal waterproof?" Curly Hair asked worriedly.
"It's 200 meters waterproof. It's basically fine to dive no deeper than 200 meters," Fang Zhao replied.
"Only 200 meters?" Curly Hair decided to be more careful and not wear the personal terminal when patrolling the water.
Curly Hair looked over when he heard the sound of a flying transport landing. Then, he scampered over.
It was Nanfeng and the other two.
Nanfeng and the other two had rushed over immediately after receiving Fang Zhao's call. Before they even landed, they discovered that the southeast part of the island was already riddled with holes.
But it didn't matter!
It was fossil digging. They wouldn't feel the pinch even if they dug it all out!
Nanfeng saw Curly Hair run over to them the moment they got off the flying transport.
Curly Hair raised his head to show them the new personal terminal on his neck.
Nanfeng might have noticed it at any other time, but his mind was filled with dinosaur fossils and didn't notice Curly Hair's subtle emotions. Nanfeng was now looking at Curly Hair as though he was a golden chicken that had laid golden eggs.
"Look at our Little Curls. He knows he has done something great and is sticking out his chest! Curly Hair did a good job! "Nanfeng said excitedly.
Curly Hair stared at him with his dark dog eyes.
Nanfeng continued, "Your owner is going to strike it rich this time. That's a dinosaur! And a really big one at that. Tens of millions of years ago, even ten of a small dog like you wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth! "
Curly Hair glanced at them again before turning around and leaving.
Nanfeng couldn't care less now. He first understood the situation from Fang Zhao before personally digging up two fossil bones with Yan Biao and Zuo Yu. He excitedly turned on his video camera and took a bunch of photos, showing off on his social media and WeChat Moments.
Because other people were coming over soon, the three of them didn't have much leisure time. After digging up the fossils, taking photos and showing off, they went about their own business.
What was buried under Fang Zhao's island was very likely the first complete fossil of a prehistoric beast over 20 meters in the past 500 years of the New Era. The attraction was too strong, and teams from all over arrived quickly.
However, the island was privately owned, and the area surrounding the island was considered private territory. Trespassing without the permission of the island owner was permitted, and Fang Zhao could open fire directly.
Nanfeng was in charge of communicating with these teams.
Fang Zhao also hired a group of people to maintain order on the island and its surroundings. The Yanzhou Navy also expressed that they would send a team over to help.
There were too many people coming, and they were all from all over the world. The Yanzhou Navy had no choice but to take this seriously. Even if it wasn't Fang Zhao this time, they would still negotiate with the island owner. Fortunately, Fang Zhao was very cooperative.
After Fang Zhao had sent out the news seeking partners, professional research teams from all over the continent had taken the initiative to participate in this excavation operation. They didn't need to pay anything as long as Fang Zhao allowed them to participate. Some people had even started fighting over a spot.
Besides these teams, the various media outlets didn't lag behind. Yanzhou Television had even arranged for an interview with Fang Zhao.
The originally deserted island had become extraordinarily lively. Some simple temporary housing had been set up. Even the seas around the island were filled with ships of all sizes, and the number was still increasing. Since they couldn't land on the island, they would stay on the ships!
People who wanted to join in on the action also rented ships. As long as they didn't enter the waters of the private island, it wouldn't be considered trespassing.
There were many private flying transports in the air that didn't dare enter the private area without permission. They could only circle around the vicinity with people observing with binoculars. There were also people doing live webcasts.
This excavation operation was very commemorative, and the competition between the various teams was intense.
Fang Zhao chose 12 teams from all 12 continents. Among them, the majority were research teams.
The various teams weren't too happy about such a big project being split, but they understood Fang Zhao's intention. If anyone was unhappy, they could leave.
Many private teams that weren't allowed to enter the island were eyeing them like tigers watching their prey. They were waiting for the teams to leave so their people could squeeze in.
Thus, even if they weren't willing to share with others, the 12 teams still agreed. No one was willing to give up this opportunity. Now, they could only cooperate.
Fortunately, Fang Zhao didn't criticize them. He even said that he would be at ease leaving the professional matters to the professionals.
This time, Fang Zhao also met members of the world's top collector family, the Bryan family. The other party had taken the initiative to look for him.
Fang Zhao had some impression of the Bryan family. This family had made great contributions to the Huangzhou battlefield during the Period of Destruction. Now, they owned the largest private museum in Huangzhou — the Bryan Museum.
The Bryan Museum owned the world's only tyrannosaurus skull and a complete Velociraptor fossil.
In addition to their precious collections, the Bryan family was most famous for their people.
Regardless of gender, the members of the Bryan family were extremely good-looking. However, anyone who paid attention to the Bryan family knew that this was a family that viewed looks as dirt.
Not long ago, there had been a member of the Bryan family who had nearly turned into a barbarian while searching for insect amber from 100 million years ago.
The leader of the Bryan family this time was also the curator of the Bryan Museum. He knew that it wasn't easy for private teams to participate alone, so he had teamed up with Huangzhou Museum to form an excavation team to cooperate with Fang Zhao.
He had come to look for Fang Zhao in hopes that after the dinosaurs were excavated, they could rent them for two months every year. The Bryan Museum and Huangzhou Museum would display them for a month each. Of course, it would be great if they could buy it directly. They didn't mind paying more, but Fang Zhao had clearly indicated that he wasn't selling. Thus, they could only settle for the next best thing. If they couldn't buy it, they would rent it.
Fang Zhao didn't want to talk about this now. "We'll talk after we excavate it."
He had to see the performance of these teams before making a decision.
Different museums had different management capabilities and the importance they placed on their collections. Fang Zhao didn't want the excavated dinosaurs to be destroyed by those careless museums.
Curator Bryan didn't expect Fang Zhao to agree immediately. He only hoped that after the fossils were excavated, Fang Zhao would consider them first if he was looking for partners. They had come with the greatest sincerity!
This time, the Bryan family had sent five people with the curator. Regardless of gender, they had personally participated in most of the excavation work. Sweat splattered everywhere, dust flew everywhere, and their faces were covered in mud. All that could be seen were pairs of blazing eyes.
They simply didn't care about the cameras following them. They didn't even care about appearing in front of the global audience. After all, their family members were already famous for their style of doing things.
What was their face? What was important was the fossils!
With so many professional teams dividing up the work, the efficiency of their work was much higher.
While they were busy excavating the fossils, Fang Zhao had long been blocked by reporters.
A reporter from Yanzhou Television, who had the geographical advantage, was the first to interview Fang Zhao.
"How did you discover the fossils in the first place? Was it really discovered by your dog? "the reporter asked with a smile as he glanced at the dog crouching beside Fang Zhao.
"Yes, the first bone was dug out by him."
The camera focused on Curly Hair, who was crouching beside Fang Zhao. Curly Hair raised his head slightly, revealing the collar on his neck and the terminal with the pattern of a puppy. He didn't let a single strand of dog hair cover him.
After recording the dog for a while, the camera turned back to Fang Zhao.
The reporter asked a few questions that the public was curious about. For example, how did Curly Hair discover the fossils underground?
Fang Zhao replied, "When I just bought the island, the island was undergoing construction. Because of the construction, the rock layer underneath was exposed, but no one noticed. It was Curly Hair who dug out that bone."
Nanfeng and the others who were paying attention to the interview: "..." Boss is even pushing this to Curly Hair just to weaken the ability of his ears?
Others might not know, but how could they not know? What kind of large-scale construction was this island!
As for the reporter's question about why Fang Zhao had bought this island, Fang Zhao only said that he wanted to find a quiet place where he wouldn't be disturbed. Discovering the fossils was really luck.
Luck?
Most people didn't believe it.
Haha, bullsh * t luck!
Does he still need to cover up his ears now?!
No matter how the reporter cursed in his heart, he still had a "so that's how it is" expression on his face. He followed the topic and praised Curly Hair, who was obediently crouching beside Fang Zhao.
Curly Hair was especially pleased and excited from everyone's praise!
After the interview ended, he ran around patrolling the area and waited for the interview to be broadcast before sitting in front of the television.
As an official television station in the Yanzhou region, the news was rather serious. The broadcast footage of the interview was Fang Zhao's original words. There were no distortions or blurring of any editing.
Curly Hair also had a few seconds of footage. In an environment where even small news channels were broadcast in high definition, the official television station's footage was enough for people to see this dog clearly.
The terminal on the dog's collar was probably covered up by mosaic to avoid suspicions that it was advertising.
Curly Hair, who was sitting in front of the television: "..."
