Although the first round of the competition was not very exciting, Qiao Meng gained a lot. But in terms of treasures, he was very lucky to see a relatively rare yellow-glazed pot.
Then he learned a lot of information about himself during the break, which made his goal clearer. This national final was really not in vain.
Half an hour passed quickly, and when the host stood on the stage again, everyone knew that the next round would begin.
"Everyone, many players performed well in the first round and got corresponding rankings and points. Moreover, our player No. 99 Qiao Meng temporarily ranked first with full points. So there are no players who have obtained satisfactory points.
Don’t be downcast right away, there are still two rounds, opportunities exist.” The host first came up to comfort and encourage him and then continued:
"That's it for the long words. The second round starts now. Please check the rules."
The screen that disappeared just before he finished speaking slowly rose up again. Everyone's attention was focused on it, scrutinizing it every second, for fear that they would fall behind because they were a little slow or make mistakes because they didn't look carefully.
.
This kind of game does not allow any mistakes. Once such a situation occurs, it is likely to mean that you will be left behind by many players, and failure will follow.
Even Qiao Meng, who has the ability to identify treasures, has to carefully understand the rules before taking the next step, otherwise everything will be in vain.
"The second round. This round is a cooperation round. Please choose your teammates within five minutes and enter the names of the other two people. If the other party does not choose you, the pairing will fail. There are three people in a group. Please pair up first.
Competition requirements will be explained later." This is the rule from the previous section.
After reading the rules, almost no one had any objections. They directly chose people who originally belonged to their own district to cooperate. There were only a few people who were from different districts but knew each other and wanted to join forces at this level first, and then compare slowly after promotion.
Qiao Meng, Bai Du, and Lan Hai undoubtedly chose each other's people. Unless the three of them were crazy, there would be absolutely no chance of any surprise happening.
After everyone has made a decision, the rules will reappear with the next paragraph: "Next, each player needs to conduct appraisal and valuation of three treasures. The winner will be determined by time. The player with the shortest time will get a full score of 100, and in descending order.
One point, the total points of the three people are added up.”
"All members of the group with the highest score will add three points to their personal ranking scores. For example, the first place will have one hundred points plus three points. The bottom five members of the group will have zero points. Discussions can be held among the group members along the way.
."
No one dares to underestimate it now. It seems that the strength of a single person is the difference between victory and defeat. But it is not the case. Everyone has to do their own work, just like an assembly machine, which is completed by combining various parts. One link is missing.
If not, everything will collapse.
This requires mutual trust and cooperation, as well as a certain degree of tacit understanding, and we cannot relax. Whoever is better at what type of treasure should help his teammates complete it first.
Then the speed will definitely increase a lot. One person's pursuit of self-satisfaction will never be a big deal. After all, there is only one champion in the end. Everyone wants to get more points to advance first. Selfishness is inevitable. It depends on the specific situation.
As a prompt sounded, everyone was ready, and the booth began to change. The treasures did not come up at the same time.
Instead, they come one by one. In this way, it is reasonable to stack them according to the completion time of each piece. You can also use your spare time to help your teammates see what the status of his treasure is. Of course, there is an interval in between.
It cannot exceed one minute or it will be timed at the normal speed.
Seeing the first treasure appear in front of him, Qiao Meng didn't hesitate at all and just started it. Such a timed competition was like cheating for him, and his typing skills had recently improved.
The growth has been able to reach the level of ordinary people, and there is no need to worry about how much time will be wasted on it.
This treasure is a coronation crown from Charles II in 1661, St. Edward's Crown, which was specially made for the coronation of the new monarch.
At the same time, this was the crown of Queen Elizabeth II when she was coronated. But the treasure appraisal ability told Qiao Meng that the genuine crown had long been melted down together with other jewels under Cromwell's order, which meant that it was a fake.
.
But thinking about it, how did the supposed crown come to our country? Even if it is obtained through trade, it is indeed a bit unrealistic. If a country cannot even keep the crown, how can it be a strong country and how can it firmly sit on the throne of a great power.
What makes Qiao Meng confused is that there are fakes in this link. If this happens, the difficulty will undoubtedly increase a lot, and many people may make mistakes from the beginning.
Fortunately, Qiao Meng has the ability to identify treasures. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to make a decision, or he would have foolishly submitted the value of the crown.
Of course, if this crown is really handed down, it will be an absolutely priceless treasure. Not to mention how many diamonds and gems are inlaid on it, its social status and historical heritage alone are enough to make it valuable.
It's estimated to be 70 to 80 million.
It's a pity that the diamonds in this crown are also fakes. Otherwise, they must be worth tens of millions or at least several million. They won't suddenly drop in price and become ordinary scraps, which are only a few thousand yuan.
.
Shaking his head, Qiao Meng hurriedly reported the results of his treasure appraisal ability, and then started the next item. After looking at the prompt board, he found that he was indeed the fastest. He finished the first item firmly in less than two minutes.
treasure.
There was only one minute to switch between treasures, so Qiao Meng first came to Baidu, who was relatively close to him, to see if he needed any help.
As soon as he came over to take a closer look at the things on his booth, he pressed the confirm button. It could be said that he didn't need any help. He was obviously very strong.
So Qiao Meng returned to his position first, and when he planned to find the next treasure, he would go to Lanhai to have a look. Maybe he could be of some help, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if he went to the place in vain.
In fact, that's right. Originally, Bai Du was much stronger than Lan Hai, so Qiao Meng should have focused on taking care of Lan Hai. However, at the beginning, he still considered the distance issue first rather than the substantive issue.
Qiao Meng looked towards the blue sea, and he happened to look over, and then made an OK gesture, probably saying that he could do it himself and there was no need to worry, so Qiao Meng felt much better.
The second treasure has come up. In order to be able to put it down quickly, Qiao Meng went over to see the situation in Lan Hai and quickly started to use it. The content in his mind appeared very quickly, and the integration was much faster than before. This may be because of his mental state.
Decide on the effect on the results.
This treasure is actually a wine cup, or a bronze wine cup. The name should be Bird Wenjue. It dates from the Western Zhou Dynasty, a very ancient era. It is 22 centimeters high and 17.1 centimeters wide.
The stream used by Jue to pour wine is very wide, and the tail opposite to the stream is very sharp. There is a pair of umbrella-shaped columns between the mouth and the stream. The entire belly of the vessel is cup-shaped, with an animal head on one side and three swords under the vessel.
It has pointed feet and is decorated with bird patterns, making it look extremely complicated and luxurious.
But it turned out to be a fake, which made Qiao Meng very depressed. Why were all the fakes coming out? They looked very similar to the real ones. If he hadn't had the ability to identify treasures, he would have made two wrong judgments.
It’s a treasure, so basically there’s no hope in this round, it’s just a big pit.
This also made Qiao Meng very disappointed. He didn't expect that so many fakes would be used as props in the national finals. He also thought about seeing some unique treasures. The result was such a situation, which is really shocking.
sad.
But even so, Qiao Meng still quickly came to Lan Hai to see what was going on with him. If he didn't notice that they were all fake, he would lose.
When he came over, he saw that Lan Hai was struggling with the second treasure, so he started to do it without saying anything. The result appeared in his mind instantly, and he immediately helped him modify the contents of the appraisal without waiting for Lan Hai to say anything.
Because he knew the result as soon as he touched this treasure. It was another fake, and it was even more exquisitely imitated than his second one. It was simply unimaginable.
This is a small piece of art, a very small one, but the patterns and hollows on it are so exquisite and detailed that you can't help but believe that it is actually a modern handicraft. In addition, the techniques used to decorate the patterns on it
They are very similar to those of the previous dynasties, and the old-fashioned techniques are so top-notch that most people can't tell whether they are true or false.
In such a short game time, if you are not careful, you will make wrong choices, and Lan Hai was just like this because he was not careful and did not notice it.
"Okay, listen, my preparation was wrong. I will explain to you why afterward."
After Qiao Meng finished speaking, he ran back to his booth. At this time, the third treasure appeared for nearly fifteen seconds. It can be said that it was okay and not a waste of time.
Lan Hai nodded and continued to work on the next piece of work.
At this time, Baidu had no problem and went directly to the appraisal of the third treasure. There were not many people who were still on the first item when looking at the overall situation. The worst thing was that he had just started appraisal of the second treasure, and there were even more powerful players than him.
Qiao Meng was only twenty or thirty seconds behind. This tiny gap made him feel incredible. There were still many masters who could not relax easily.
At present, Qiao Meng's team is very fast, but there are still a few teams that can get very close to their time. If anyone from Baidu or Lan Hai gets inked next and doesn't pay attention, it is very likely that the team will be defeated by others.
Beyond that, Qiao Meng is not the only one who can do this quickly. There are indeed many great masters.
He has realized that this round is really not a one-man battle. If he hadn't gone to see the blue sea just now, he might have lost it long ago.
