Chapter 528 - 528: An Invitation from the Lord, A Show?
After dinner, he returned to his hotel suite.
He spent some quality time with his darling, Li Shishi.
Around nine in the evening, Luo Feng was still in the company of his girlfriend when Long Jianfei called to say the lord of Hiroshima had arrived at the hotel.
Luo Feng picked up the pace a little.
Finished with his affairs, he took a bath.
Stepping out, he saw two men in the hotel lobby.
One was a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing glasses, the other a young man about thirty.
Upon seeing Luo Feng, the bespectacled man immediately approached and said, “Greetings, you must be Mr. Luo, I am Fujii.”
“Hello, Lord Fujii, ” Luo Feng responded.
“Come, sit here!” said Fujii, gesturing to seats nearby. The two quickly sat, with
Fujii’s secretary standing nearby, who didn’t take a seat.
“Mr. Luo, could you tell me your itinerary for this visit to the Land of Cherry Blossoms?” Fujii asked.
Luo Feng didn’t have much of a plan; he intended to take a road trip to Nara the following day.
The distance from Tokyo to Nara was about 500 kilometers. At a brisk pace, it would take a day; at a leisurely speed, two or three.
Having spent a week here, Luo Feng felt the need to keep up appearances and not rush things to avoid arousing suspicion.
“I plan to take a road trip in your beautiful country next, to admire the mountains and rivers. I intend to go to Shizuoka Prefecture first,” Luo Feng shared, outlining some pre-planned routes.
“Of course, my lovely girlfriend researched all these routes. I’ve never been before, but I hear it’s enjoyable!” Luo Feng added, mentioning Li Shishi.
This made the story more convincing.
It is well-known that women, especially on international trips, are fond of sightseeing.
And who could doubt that Li Shishi, who had come all this way, was here for the scenery rather than antiques?
That was normal.
“I wish Mr. Luo and your girlfriend a pleasant journey in advance. However, I came tonight to invite you to visit Hiroshima,” Fujii said.
“Lord Fujii, why are you inviting me over? Is there something you need?” Luo Feng asked.
“We’re planning to organize a treasure hunting event. We’d like you to do the digging, while our Hiroshima TV station broadcasts the whole process live,” Fujii answered.
“Treasure hunting?” Luo Feng mused. “Lord Fujii, finding treasures isn’t as simple as you think. Even in the mountains, it can take me a long time to find something. A month might pass without anything being discovered. Can any program be broadcasted live for a month?”
Fujii chuckled, confidently replying, “Hiroshima’s underground is full of treasures. I’m sure you’ll dig up something of value, Mr. Luo.”
Alright.
Luo Feng knew what they were thinking.
They probably pre-planted some items.
Nothing too valuable, but not too cheap either.
But this seemed far-fetched. I mean, I am the top treasure hunter with a system. If this gets exposed…
Wouldn’t my reputation be ruined?
“Mr. Luo, we’ll pay you around 500 million yen for your participation. Plus, whatever treasures you find are yours to keep!” Fujii said. Luo Feng hummed nonchalantly; he didn’t care much for that.
500 million yen was of no consequence.
“How long will I be digging for?”
Luo Feng contemplated. If the other party intended to plant items and later expose him as a scripted treasure hunter, their TV station would share the blame.
But Luo Feng could explain that it was their request.
It’s quite frustrating not being able to use his abilities.
Besides, could anyone believe that the fossils, the jade seals of the realm, and the ancient tombs he’d excavated back home were scripted?
If the other party intentionally set him up to tarnish his reputation, Luo Feng wasn’t afraid.
“How many days do you think are appropriate, Mr. Luo?” Fujii asked in return.
“Two days should be enough.” “Alright, two days it is.” Although two days was short, Fujii had no other choice. Initially, he wanted Luo Feng to dig for a week and broadcast it live.
But since Luo Feng had set a timeframe, he didn’t want to negotiate further.
Knowing Luo Feng’s temperament, agreeing to this was already quite a significant achievement. He could not ask for more. “I’ll head over tomorrow!” Luo Feng said, chuckling.
Hiroshima was a good place.
It was closer to Nara compared to Tokyo.
Otherwise, for a mere sum of money, Luo Feng would never agree to join the show.
If he pretended to casually drive to Nara, it would certainly waste a lot of time.
But taking a flight to Hiroshima, participating in the show, and then nonchalantly heading to Nara would save him several days. After all, he would only participate in the show for two days..
