Chapter 175 The event begins

The two of them have been busy with the conference all day long, and have not paid attention to the things in the store. Of course, the entire antique street has been issued a notice, and all businesses are closed. You can watch the event that starts tomorrow.

Buy a ticket to enter the venue opposite.

Since the boss opposite Qiao Meng and the others had a large venue, the venue was set up there. Tickets are not expensive either, the cheapest ticket from near to far costs tens of dollars, and the highest ticket only costs a thousand dollars.

Collectors who really like antiques will never miss this feast. This amount of money is nothing to them, and they can take it out easily.

So as soon as the event was advertised, the tickets were immediately snapped up and sold out. Many big names also paid attention to this event and bought front row tickets to support the event.

The next day, the event finally officially started. After everyone entered the venue, the host announced: "Thank you to all the viewers and our contestants for coming. The next two days will be a two-day antique street event. We

There will be a perfect combination of art and antiques here.”

"Who will come out on top? You are welcome to vote in advance to choose the winner, second runner-up, and third runner-up you think. The one who successfully predicts correctly will receive a mysterious gift."

As soon as they heard that there was such a benefit, the audience was all excited. The mysterious gift held by the entire Antique Street event was definitely not simple, otherwise they would not have said it easily, so many people began to think about who to choose.

They all receive an official website message on their mobile phones. After entering, they can vote and bet on the winning or losing of each round of players.

This is simply a money-spinning event.

"Now we invite the new mayor to come on stage to open the ceremony for us." the host said with a smile on his face.

"I declare that the Antique Street Art Treasure Appraisal event has officially begun!" The new mayor did not hesitate and stepped down immediately after speaking.

The atmosphere at the scene was even more enthusiastic. Many people had been looking forward to this event for a long time. Although it was only announced two days ago, it felt like they had been waiting for a year.

This shows that the popularity of this event is even more attractive than those variety shows on TV.

Now the competition officially begins. There are a total of thirty teams participating. There are four rounds in total. Sixteen teams are eliminated directly in the first round, four teams are eliminated in the second round, the semi-finals are in the third round, and the final round is the final round.

First, the official takes out a treasure, and then each team sends a treasure appraiser to the stage to appreciate the treasure for five minutes. After that, each team will be given an object that is exactly the same as the treasure just appraised as a painting.

Reference object, draw from any observation point.

In the end, professional art masters will grade it, and then one of the thirty pieces is authentic. Each team of treasure appraisers needs to identify whether their own piece is authentic. The appraisal results are written out and then submitted to the organizer for review. The time is

It took two hours to finally get the results.

"Everyone, let's bring out the first treasure. This is a sword from the Warring States Period. It was originally a valuable treasure hidden in our city, but we specifically asked the mayor for permission to take it out for today's grand event. Let us thank the mayor for his help.

Cooperate." The host came to the stage to preach.

At this time, two men came onto the stage holding a heavy-looking sword, and gently placed it upright on the prepared display stand. There was a 360-degree hidden camera there, showing the sword through the large

The screen is completely displayed in front of the audience.

"Wow, it turns out to be this sword. It's a bronze sword from the Warring States Period. Look, there's a shining cold light on it!" An audience member who loves collecting antiques in this area immediately exclaimed.

"Oh, it's true. It's so worthwhile to come here today. I have to rush to grab the tickets for tomorrow." The friend sitting next to him also exclaimed.

"You haven't bought it yet. I bought it for two days without going to such trouble." The man looked proud.

"Ah, why didn't you tell me earlier? Forget it, let's just watch first." Although they were helpless, the two of them turned their attention to the arena again.

At this moment, Qiao Meng still seemed relatively calm. After all, he had seen all the exquisite bronzes, more than once, but he still coveted swords in his heart. Boys all like such things. He

It's no exception. How can you look at the gleaming sword and not wish it belonged to you?

"Now, each team is asked to send out a treasure appraiser to conduct an appraisal and write down the preliminary appraisal results." The host announced.

Then thirty people began to come to appreciate it one after another.

The numbers drawn by Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling were relatively low, so Qiao Meng didn't get up in a hurry. The two of them were just sitting in their seats, and then the camera suddenly turned to them.

"Hey, isn't that Master Qiao?" Suddenly a fan of Qiao Meng in the black market recognized him and immediately exclaimed.

"What Master Qiao?" someone around asked curiously.

"It's just...hiss"

His friend immediately pinched his back to remind him not to talk nonsense, so he did not say the next words.

Then some locals from City S who were sitting next to him said, "Are you talking about the Saint of Treasure Appraisal? I think he is undoubtedly the winner of this competition, as long as there is nothing wrong with the painting companion."

"The Saint of Appreciating Treasures?" The person who had just recognized Qiao Meng was confused. Because they were competing against locals, they had not paid attention to Qiao Meng's deeds.

"You don't know that he is the treasure appraiser of our S city. There are no mistakes in the appraisal. Many people have taken videos of him unmasking it. That is even more amazing."

As soon as this man talked about Qiao Meng's deeds, he immediately became excited and confused, as if he had done all these things himself.

Now they finally knew who Qiao Meng was. It turned out that although his reputation had not spread, the video had spread far and wide. Many people had seen the unframed video.

But they thought it was a fake and didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that it is probably true, because they have seen Qiao Meng's strength before.

Finally it was Qiao Meng's turn to go up. Drawing the 28th number was not what he expected, but he had to follow the rules of the game.

Don't say anything at first, just touch it first as a sign of respect.

The treasure appraisal ability started to work. He was a little curious about this thing. He had never come into contact with something like a sword before, but he didn't show too many inner thoughts on the surface.

At this time, a cold air penetrated into his body, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave without feeling a trace of warmth, and it was accompanied by the bloody breath. It seemed that this sword did not exist back then.

If you don't harvest heads, it must be some kind of general's sword.

As expected, the result was similar to what Qiao Meng thought. He originally wanted to know more about this sword, but he couldn't bear the biting cold and extremely bloody feeling, so he withdrew his hand.

"What's wrong with him?" The audience at the scene saw Qiao Meng's weird behavior on the big screen and expressed their confusion. Why did the sword stay still after touching it, and then suddenly felt like it was being bounced away? This is

Was it knocked away by the sword?

Everyone had such fantastic thoughts, Qiao Meng couldn't hear these people's discussions, and he was still busy suppressing the disgusting feeling in his heart.

But he knew that his every word and deed was now being watched by the entire audience, so in order not to be too obvious, he pretended to smile successfully.

Now everyone thought that they had been deceived by Qiao Meng, and that he was just acting it out to amuse everyone.

Feeling that his strategy was successful, Qiao Meng happily returned to Ge Yuling and began to write down the results of the appraisal.

"How's it going? Can you tell anything?" Ge Yuling asked worriedly, because the Qiao Meng she saw just now was really strange. It didn't look like he was acting. She knew him well and knew what must have happened just now.

.

"Of course, I am a treasure appraiser." Qiao Meng deliberately joked.

"Don't make trouble. How do you know whether this thing is real or fake after just touching it for a few minutes? What if the collection in S City is also fake? Or the organizer is deliberately trying to make things mysterious." Ge Yuling said still uneasy.

"Don't worry, my touch is absolutely accurate. You can see clearly wherever you touch." When Qiao Meng said this, he glanced at Ge Yuling's area that was obviously larger than others.

Fortunately, he was not discovered this time, otherwise Ge Yuling would definitely be angry with him again.

"Okay, then I believe you. When I draw it later, you have to help me see if there is anything I didn't look at carefully." Ge Yuling nodded and said.

"clear."

After all the teams had completed their appraisals and the appraisal results had been handed in and sealed, a group of big men in black began to appear. Each of them was holding an identical sword. It was impossible to tell the authenticity from the fake just by looking at it. Those who passed

The audience who saw it on the big screen couldn't tell which one of them was real and which one was fake.

Someone started to ask questions here. If this is the case, then even the real ones are mixed in. What if the difference cannot be made out?

In fact, the organizers have already thought about this. When making fake swords, one step will be omitted, and the omissions in each sword are different. Therefore, if you want to distinguish them, you must make no mistakes at the beginning, otherwise

The game has already been lost.

The true identity of this bronze sword has not been made public. It only appeared in the S City Exhibition Hall for one afternoon, and its title is Unknown Sword. The introduction only has seven characters: Bronze Sword of the Warring States Period.

This bronze sword is different from ordinary swords. Its blade is slightly longer, but its shape has not changed, just like the leaves of a willow tree. Although it is relatively rough in production, the sharp points are still very good.

The results of Qiao Meng's identification just now showed that although this sword is only about ten centimeters longer than an ordinary bronze sword, it is at least twice as heavy.

This is also the reason why it took two people to pick it up just now. It took too much effort for one person, and the two people looked relatively thin. Naturally, the big man in black behind him didn't have so many worries.

What follows is a two-hour painting session.
