Chapter 054 He turned to ashes and I don't even know him
Everyone got up in an orderly manner and walked along the corridor outside the hall to the competition hall. Special detection equipment and body searches were set up on the way in to prevent contestants from carrying cheating tools such as headsets and micro-microphones.
Just as everyone was entering one after another, a sudden sound of kicking came over, making people couldn't help but look back. Chen Ran was no exception, but they saw Ah Han running over panting with an anxious look on his face.
.
At first, he didn't see Ah Han in the lobby. Chen Ran thought that Ah Han had been eliminated in the first round and felt sorry for him. But now he saw Ah Han running towards him and stopped.
"It's... not bad!" Ah Han ran over panting. He ran so fast that he almost bumped into Chen Ran. Chen Ran quickly held him up and patted his back to calm him down: "Don't worry.
!”
Ah Han raised his head and smiled gratefully at Chen Ran, a bit silly.
"Hurry up and catch up!" The young man saw the two of them stop and drank impatiently.
Chen Ran quickly helped Ah Han and followed him.
Stepping into the venue, your field of vision suddenly broadened. Needless to say, the scale of the Provincial Gymnasium was just a few extra things, such as a large video screen on all sides of the venue.
The entire seat was full of people, and it was dark. At this moment, everyone was focusing on these contestants.
Of course, the seats were naturally assigned early. Those sitting on the high platform were naturally the heavyweights and judges, and those sitting in the first row were all the invited guests.
Entering the venue, Chen Ran saw Yan Ruyu at the judges' table. He guessed that Yan Ruyu would be invited to the competition, but he did not expect that Yan Ruyu was also a judge.
He saw Yan Ruyu, but Yan Ruyu did not see him. After all, there were more than a hundred contestants.
"All contestants are already seated. Now I will explain the rules of the competition. Please listen carefully. The ranking of the competition is calculated by points. Your written test score minus sixty points and divided by two will be your current points.
, and then your points will be added on this basis. The competition is divided into two games, with a twenty-minute break in the middle. The first test will be taken by Mr. Xie Zuomiao Xie from the History Department of Zhongdu University!"
The host at the venue was the host of the TV station. When she was talking, an old man in his fifties came up to the stage.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xie Zuomiao. The first exam is now taking place. There are a total of one hundred and thirty contestants. Now I have divided you into ten groups, one group of thirteen people. Do you see the big screen in front of you?
, there is a number on each big screen, whichever big screen your number is on, which group you are in, and then you will stand under which big screen, okay, now start grouping."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ran raised his head and looked at the big screen. Soon he found his number, which was on the eighth big screen. After finding it, he came to the bottom of the eighth big screen.
, he looked at Ah Han and found that Ah Han was standing under the fourth big screen, and he didn't know anyone in his group except Lu Tianming.
"Have you seen the long table in front of you? There are forty-eight jade articles on each long table. Among these forty-eight jade articles, only thirteen are real ancient jade. From now on, within ten minutes, every participant will
The contestant only needs to pick out a real ancient jade to pass the test. Those who pass the test will receive three points, and those who fail will deduct three points!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
The contestants or people related to the contestants exclaimed that the first game was so difficult. Let alone identifying forty-eight pieces of ancient jade, even ten minutes was not enough to identify one piece of ancient jade. This is undoubtedly quite effective.
It's so difficult that if you don't have a certain level of vision and experience, it's impossible to pass it.
In addition to exclaiming that the first game was so difficult, more people marveled at the great work of the Jade Association. There are thirteen pieces of ancient jade on one long table, and one hundred and thirty on ten long tables.
pieces of ancient jade, the Jade Association really spent a lot of money for this competition.
Even if we don’t talk about how this competition went, just these jaw-dropping ancient jades will definitely cause a sensation in the national collecting community. This will undoubtedly exaggerate the atmosphere of the entire competition and make the entire competition become
More exciting.
"Mr. Wang, what a great gesture!"
There were eight judges in total on the judges' bench. After Yan Ruyu listened to the rules announced by Xie Zuomiao, he turned to look at an old man sitting next to him.
The old man was not humble at all. He smiled proudly and looked at Yan Ruyu: "Thank you also, Xiaoyu, for your help!"
Yan Ruyu came to Zhongdu this time, in addition to some personal matters, actually for this competition. She is called Huaxia Jade. In addition to her fame, there is another bigger reason that her collection of ancient jade can be said to be...
The most in the whole of China.
In this competition, she provided a lot of ancient jade.
Yan Ruyu said a few words of humility, then turned to look at the contestants below. As if by accident, and as if she had God's will, she suddenly saw a familiar figure. When she saw this familiar figure, she was
She was suddenly stunned, and then she suddenly smiled when she thought of an old man's instructions.
He reached out and tapped lightly on the color screen on the desktop, entered a name like Chen Ran in the search box, and a piece of information immediately appeared. After seeing his written test score, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Ah! This kid actually came to compete!"
The old man also accidentally looked at the color screen in front of Yan Ruyu. After seeing the photo, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned dark.
"Mr. Wang, do you know him?"
Yan Ruyu was also slightly surprised. She didn't expect that this piece of wood knew a lot of people. But since he knew Mr. Wang, why did Uncle Liang find him a master of jade carving? Mr. Wang in front of him was a master of jade carving.
"I don't know him!" The old man shook his head decisively, and then added angrily: "I don't even know him when he turns to ashes!"
Yan Ruyu was dumbfounded, what kind of logic is this.
When she looked at the old man, she found that the old man had a dark face and looked at the arena as if he was angry. She still understood the old man's temper. The old man didn't want to say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions, so she just looked at him.
On the playing field, I looked at that familiar figure, and a smile unconsciously appeared on my lips.
But at this moment, the old man's voice came to my ears again: "Hey, what's this guy's number?"
…
When Chen Ran heard Teacher Xie's announcement, he was also shocked by the Jade Association's generosity. It was so difficult for him to get hold of an ancient jade, but the Jade Association had one hundred and thirty pieces of ancient jade. This was only the first time.
There must be more than this amount of ancient jade used in the entire competition.
When it comes to identifying ancient jades, Chen Ran knew he would pass the test before taking part in the competition. This is also his weakest point. After all, he has come into contact with too few ancient jades, and his eyesight and experience are far behind.
This is also the reason why he is so serious during the written examination.
However, this was before, but now, obviously, identifying ancient jade is no longer difficult for him.
As soon as the exam began, Chen Ran controlled his newly acquired ability and released an energy aperture from the center of his eyebrows to detect the jade on the long table. The first thing he detected was a jade ring with a simple style.
After the energy aperture was detected, the jade ring showed no reaction at all. Obviously, this jade ring was not an ancient jade. Then he detected the next jade.
This is a jade pendant.
This time there was a reaction, but the energy aperture was absorbed on the jade pendant. Chen Ran had no choice but to shoot out the energy aperture again, releasing two apertures in succession. Three green and white apertures appeared on the jade pendant.
Then it was absorbed by Chen Ran, and two energy apertures were consumed, which shows that the carving of the jade pendant is better than average.
He originally had thirty-five energy apertures, but now he has absorbed three and consumed two, which is equivalent to earning one and turning it into thirty-six.
The ancient jade was found, but Chen Ran didn't pick it out right away. He didn't have many opportunities to come into contact with the ancient jade, and now he would naturally not let this opportunity go.
The first is to practice his eyesight and gain experience in identifying ancient jades. Another point, and the most important point, is that the more energy apertures, the better. Now that he has this opportunity to get more, how can he let it go?
.
So even though he found an ancient jade in less than a minute, he moved on to the next one, just like that, appraising the jade while absorbing the halo of light on the ancient jade.
On the other side, in just two minutes, Lu Tianming found an ancient jade and handed it to Professor Xie. After Professor Xie appraised it, he gave it to the judges. After appraising it, the judges all nodded.
Then they all praised Mr. Lu who was sitting on the judges' table. Mr. Lu couldn't help but feel proud secretly. This Lu Tianming was his grandson. His grandson made him blush, so he was naturally very happy.
Professor Luo also announced: "If No. 1 passes, three points will be added!"
Everyone looked up at the big screen at the front, and found that the first place on the big screen had appeared. It was No. 1, with 23 points.
Seeing this result, everyone present couldn't help but booed. The full score of the written test was one hundred, minus sixty divided by two is twenty points, plus three points is twenty-three points, which is equivalent to Lu Tianming's complete score.
It's a perfect score.
No one seems surprised by this result. The Lu family is the number one jade carving family in the Central Plains, and Lu Tianming is also well-known. It is natural for him to achieve such results.
Someone has already passed the test, which obviously puts a lot of pressure on other players. For a while, some players can't help but become nervous. This nervousness makes their minds confused, which is equivalent to messing up their own feet.
As time went by, there were only four people left in Chen Ran's group. Except for Chen Ran, the other three people were already in confusion. They looked left and right, and their heads were full of anxiety.
of sweating profusely.
Only Chen Ran was still observing slowly. Unlike the others, he didn't feel that this thing was right, so he just picked other ones from a distance. But Chen Ran looked at one item after another. After looking at this one, he took it.
When he picked up the next piece, he looked at each piece with great concentration, even if it was fake jade, he looked at it very seriously.
Obviously, if you want to increase your eyesight, you must not only look at real jade, but also fake jade.
As for the thirteen pieces of ancient jade on his long table, except for the one that Lu Tianming identified, eight of the remaining twelve pieces were absorbed by him, and the number of his apertures also increased by three.
There were originally more needed, but there was a very good carver, so four of them were used up.
Seeing that the ten minutes were about to end, I saw that Chen Ran was still looking at him like this. Although he seemed very calm, he looked more like he didn't understand at all and was just joining in the fun. After seeing Chen Ran's written test results, I was originally very interested in Chen Ran.
However, the old man who still had some hope could not help but shake his head in disappointment, secretly thinking that this guy must have copied his written test results.
And when he turned his attention to a young figure, his face suddenly became angry, and he almost wanted to curse. Although he didn't curse out loud, he still cursed in his heart, why did I accept a disciple as stupid as you?
.
Yan Ruyu was a little strange. Although she didn't know what Chen Ran's jade appraisal ability was, it should not be difficult for Chen Ran. However, why had he not identified an ancient jade at this time?
Seeing that time was coming to an end, she couldn't help but worry about Chen Ran.
As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer players in the field. In fact, the remaining players are basically incompetent, or players supported by small companies, like those supported by big companies.
They all won quickly.
At this time, they think that the result of this game has been decided. The remaining players are all incompetent and will not be taken seriously by them. Now they seem to be optimistic about these busy players.
Playfully.
Just when everyone was looking at the rankings on the big screen and waiting for Professor Xie to announce the end, the entire ranking suddenly changed!
