Three hundred and fiftieth chapters beat the horse
John, who was following behind, suddenly turned dark when he heard his sister's words. He was obviously calling him a burden, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Jessica, I am your brother, how can you say that to me!"
Jessica glanced at John contemptuously: "Am I wrong? If you are not convinced, you can compete with me. You can choose whatever you want, fighting? Shooting? Escape? Or social skills?"
Gritting his teeth, John said nothing, because he knew that there was really no way he could compare to his monster sister.
Edward looked at his proud daughter, smiled lightly, and said: "Jessica, you can't say that about John. At least he speaks Chinese better than you, and he also knows more about China than you do, and he is in
That city has also made a powerful friend who will also be useful, so you need his help."
This time, Jessica did not refuse: "Well, until you go there, you must listen to me. I will be the one to decide what to do. He can't make good decisions."
"Does it need to be said? Of course." Edward nodded.
John really wanted to refuse and simply refused to go, but when he thought of his stern father, he endured it. He secretly thought that he would have to vent his anger sooner or later. He also thought that this search for the Eye of God was an opportunity, and he must
Find a way to prove that you are more capable than Jessica!
After handing Jessica over to his study, Edward sat behind his desk, his eyes flickering with inexplicable light in the slightly dim room.
"Jessica, remember, the Eye of God is a magical jade stone. It comes from Eastern China. It is the most precious treasure I have ever seen in my life. You must help me find him."
"Father, why is the Eye of God so important?" Jessica frowned and asked with some confusion.
Unlike John, Edward remained silent for a while and said: "It is a gift from God. It has been three years since I got it. It has given me a very magical ability, which is to distinguish the authenticity of an antique.
This is also the reason why I never fail in antique transactions with businessmen from all over the world, but I can feel that it should have more mysteries waiting to be unearthed, but it has not been successfully unearthed. After research, I suspect that only people with Chinese blood
I have to activate it, but what’s terrible is that it was stolen before I could test it!”
Jessica, who had been standing quietly in the middle of the study, suddenly said: "So you found a Chinese woman to hide outside some time ago, and planned to give birth to a child with Chinese blood?"
"How do you know?" Edward was startled. He hid this matter from everyone in his family. Only two close friends knew about it. He did hold this idea in mind. If the Eye of God really only exists in China,
Only people with blood can discover it, so he will give birth to a mixed-race child!
Jessica looked calm, turned around and walked out of the study: "I will get it back."
…
The first floor of Excellence Antique Shop.
"This painting is signed by Li Xudong. This person was a Jinshi in the second year of Guangxu's reign and later served as a reviewer of the Hanlin Academy. This person was somewhat famous in the painting circles at that time, especially good at painting strange rocks. Although bamboo is the main body in this bluestone bamboo forest picture,
If you look carefully, you will find that the bluestone with bamboo roots is the finishing touch of the whole painting. The stability of the bluestone..."
There was a painting hanging on the shelf. Xue Chen was talking about his opinions on the painting, while Wang Dong and Zhou Baofu, the owner of Baozhai Antique Shop, were listening attentively.
This painting was brought back by Zhou Baofu from a business trip a few days ago. However, because the owner of the painting is too partial and not a mainstream painter, it is difficult to identify. I am not sure whether it is genuine or fake. The jade came to Zhuoyue Antiques
Please go to the store and ask Xue Chen to perform an eye scan on him for identification.
"So, there is no doubt that this painting is the original work of Li Xudong. Boss Zhou was able to buy it for five thousand yuan, which is considered a good deal. Congratulations." Xue Chen said with a smile.
Zhou Baofu smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth reached to the base of his ears, and thanked him repeatedly: "Mr. Xue is really knowledgeable, I admire him."
He really admired him. He had almost never heard of Li Xudong. After he came back, he read a lot of books and looked up a lot of information before he got a rough idea of this person's origins.
But when Xue Chen saw this painting for the first time, he could not only tell the identity of the person with just a few words, but also the specific dates of birth and death, official title, and characteristics of the painting. It was impossible not to admire him.
I think it's far behind.
Xue Chen smiled indifferently. When he saw a trace of spiritual energy emerging from Zhou Baofu's head and being sucked away by the ancient jade in his arms, his eyes flashed and the corner of his mouth raised.
"Hey, do you still need to praise Lao Xue's abilities? That's a lot of leverage. He's already famous." Fatty Wang said carelessly at the side.
Almost at the same time, a trace of spiritual energy emerged from Wang Dong's head, and it was two or three times more than Zhou Baofu's, and it was sucked away by the ancient jade.
Seeing this scene, Xue Chen secretly thought that it was indeed the case, and he also grasped a new rule for ancient jade to absorb spiritual energy from people, that is, a person can only absorb it once a day!
In the past few days, occasionally he would do something that would make Wang Dong sigh, and then spiritual energy would appear on his head and be absorbed by the ancient jade. Moreover, that trace of spiritual energy was very strong, and its content was close to what ancient jade needed.
About two thousandths, it must have reached the level of worship.
Xue Chen couldn't help but feel a little proud when he thought that Fatty Wang usually looked so happy but unexpectedly admired him very much.
Although the spiritual energy absorbed from each person is only one-half-thousandth at most, like individual strands of wool, after so many days, the spiritual energy in the ancient jade has grown to 3%.
, although it is still not enough to watch, but the advantage is that it does not need to be done specially and it will not affect normal life.
Zhou Baofu rolled up the scroll, nodded and said with a smile: "That's natural. Everyone in the Haicheng antique circle doesn't know Mr. Xue's ability, but I still can't help but amaze me every time. Mr.
You know so much, it really makes me ashamed."
He used to be dissatisfied with the fact that Zhuo Zhi Antique Shop was getting bigger and bigger, and its popularity was much better than that of his Baozhai Antique Store, but now he couldn't be dissatisfied. With his eyesight, he couldn't even catch up with him.
Wang Dong blinked his little eyes twice: "Lao Xue worked hard to help you appraise the painting. Do you have to express your gratitude? You don't need to choose a place that is too high-end. I'll just look at Ziyun Hotel."
Seeing Wang Dong taking the opportunity to grab a drink, Zhou Baofu, who was just about to leave, twitched the corner of his mouth, paused, and said with an unnatural smile: "Of course, it's Ziyun Hotel, I've made a reservation.
I’ll inform you two.”
Wang Dong chuckled again and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou, don't take it seriously. I'm just talking about it for fun. It's just a trivial matter. How can I ask you to buy me a drink?"
"Huh?" Xue Chen glanced at Fatty Wang with his peripheral vision in surprise, and said to himself, this is not his character. He can spit out the wine and meat in his mouth? Unless it is poisonous.
"You're kidding, Boss Wang, you really like to see jokes..." Zhou Baofu smiled and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Ziyun Hotel is not cheap. It is the best place around here. I won't have a meal.
I can't do it for two or three thousand times, and it makes my body hurt just thinking about it, but since it's a joke, it's okay...
"Yes, I was joking just now, but since Boss Zhou has already planned to book a table, let's book it. Lao Xue and I will go to the banquet on time." Wang Dong took a sip of tea and nodded seriously.
head.
Zhou Baofu couldn't catch his breath and almost choked it. Looking at Fatty Wang who was drinking tea again, he understood this time. This was a joke to tease him. He was so angry that he suddenly thought about it and was polite to Xue Chen.
Said: "Mr. Xue, I will be hosting at Ziyun Hotel tonight, so I must be there."
Before Xue Chen could say anything, Wang Dong agreed: "Don't worry, we won't be late. Remember to order the crispy roasted goose head, it's my favorite."
Zhou Baofu looked at Wang Dong with feigned surprise and said, "I'm inviting Mr. Xue, Fatty Wang, why are you joining in the fun?"
"Gah?" Wang Dong put down his teacup and looked at Zhou Baofu with wide eyes, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Baofu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr.
I feel a lot happier. Do you want you to joke with me and tease me?
Wang Dong immediately scratched his ears and was speechless. After a long while, he said bitterly and forcefully: "Why is it none of my business? I own half of the shares in this store. The moment you step in, you will be with me."
It’s relevant.”
Xue Chen escorted Zhou Baofu out of the antique store and stood at the door of the store looking at the bustling passers-by. He didn't have any ideas before, but now in his eyes he has a spirit that can walk.
He had estimated in his mind these days that the aura content a person brought from admiration to worship ranged from less than 0.5 thousandths to at most two thousandths. In other words, if he could make two people
Thousands of people admire him, and the spiritual energy in the ancient jade can be filled instantly.
But obviously this is not an easy task. It is easy to make five or ten people admire you, but it is difficult for a hundred people, and even more difficult for two thousand people.
If it was to achieve worship, it would only require five hundred people, but he didn't dare to think about it. It was definitely not an easy thing for one person to worship another person.
"Old Xue, what are you doing standing at the door?" Wang Dong saw Xue Chen standing alone at the door looking at the sidewalk in a daze. He came over curiously and asked.
Looking back at Wang Dong, I thought that this boy's admiration for me was full, and I wanted to laugh but also felt a little moved.
"I'm wondering whether the crispy roasted goose head at Ziyun Restaurant will taste saltier or lighter today."
"I think it's better to be salty and tasty." Wang Dong laughed sarcastically. (To be continued)
