Chapter 547 - 547: We Owe a Tremendous Debt to Luo Feng for Unearthing So Many Artifacts For Us!
“My goodness, that’s an outrageous number of relics!” “Are they all genuine? It’s quite difficult to believe!”
“Indeed, with this sheer volume, even I find it hard to conceive!”
“So, does this imply that this place is a factory for forgeries?”
“It certainly seems that way. These remote locations are often prime spots for such illicit operations!”
“Host, don’t remain silent. Can you confirm if all these are authentic blue-and-white porcelain pieces? There’s such an abundance of them, it hardly seems plausible!”
“Exactly, even our nation’s most expansive museum wouldn’t boast such an extensive collection of blue-and-white porcelain relics!”
Luo Feng kept his silence, unveiling the final box that revealed yet more porcelain. He nodded, asserting, “Without a doubt, these are all authentic!”
“I find that hard to believe!”
“Neither can I, the quantity is simply staggering!”
“Indeed, if you’d discovered this many in our home country, I might have accepted it. But here, in foreign territory, how can there be so many of our cultural artifacts!”
“Did you concoct this scenario with Nara’s officials? It makes for quite the spectacle, doesn’t it?”
This idea was suddenly proposed.
Everyone started to connect the dots.
Of course, this live broadcast is part of a variety show, like the Hiroshima episode where the gold was intentionally buried by the city’s officials. So, these artifacts could very well be part of a staged scenario.
Without a script, it’s practically impossible to explain.
“Luo Feng, you are truly remarkable! So many exquisite vases, and all significant antiquities at that!”
Eri’s voice resonated with excitement, she continuously admired the stunning vases.
In truth, she was quite fond of Chinese artifacts, particularly blue-and-white porcelain.
After all, what woman doesn’t have a soft spot for beauty?
With ample exposure to gold, silver, and jewelry due to her status, she had grown accustomed to such items.
Now, her preferences had elevated, to art, to artifacts.
Examining the intricate patterns on these vases, they seemed remarkably lifelike, undeniably Chinese.
At that moment, in Nara’s administrative office, the city lord’s secretary, oblivious to the day’s events, cheerfully made his way towards the mayor’s office.
“Mayor, Luo Feng has discovered the treasures you arranged for him!”
“He found the treasures?” The city lord was taken aback, “Impressive indeed, I thought I had concealed them well!”
“Yes, there were numerous vases, I hadn’t anticipated you’d plant so many to boost viewership!”
“Vases? What are you referring to?”
The mayor was visibly confused upon hearing this. He had clearly planted some moderately valuable local artifacts.
And gold.
But not vases.
“Mayor, aren’t you informed? He unearthed several vases!”
Subsequently.
The mayor, eyes wide, asked his secretary to detail Luo Feng’s findings.
Immediately, the mayor sank onto the couch.
Deflated.
“Porcelain? All porcelain? And they’re all authentic?”
“Where did he unearth them? There can’t possibly be this many! Who placed them there?”
The secretary frowned, “I’m not certain. They were in a farm. If they’re all genuine, this is indeed perplexing!”
“A farm, can we trace the person who placed them there?” the mayor inquired.
“I’m unsure, but since it wasn’t us, it must be wild treasure!” the secretary replied.
“Ah, wild treasure? But this is a farm, how can Luo Feng freely roam someone else’s property?” The mayor retorted, if there was a farm, there must be a farm owner. Whatever Luo Feng found was not their concern, he couldn’t claim it.
“Mayor, that farm is deserted, we’ve likely claimed it already!” “Oh? It’s officially claimed? Well, that’s fortunate news!” Hearing this, the mayor of Nara couldn’t hide his delight.
“So, Mayor, shall we go over and inspect?” the secretary suggested.
“Absolutely, we ought to express our gratitude to Luo Feng, for uncovering so many artifacts for our nation!”
Previously.
Due to the city lord of Hiroshima’s lack of foresight, he declared that whatever Luo Feng found belonged to him.
He failed to stipulate that finding anything beyond what he buried was prohibited.
After all, the Hiroshima mayor believed there were no artifacts left to be discovered in Hiroshima. But Luo Feng proved him wrong.
This time.
Learning from past errors, the city lord of Nara included these stipulations in the contract.
Crucially, this farm was officially reclaimed, unambiguously occupied.
Whatever Luo Feng found, he couldn’t claim it.
“Indeed, city lord, it was your foresight to establish the contract ahead of time, and this is our official land!”
“Anything Luo Feng finds is, in effect, aiding us, Japanese officials, at no cost!”
“This time, inviting him for a show not only unearthed artifacts but also boosted viewership! Now this is what I call two birds with one stone!”
“This time, I believe a promotion is in order for you! After all, a collection of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain carries high value!”
Upon hearing his secretary’s words, the city lord chuckled, “Don’t fret, my dear, when I get promoted, I’ll bring you along!” With that.
He slid his arm around the secretary’s slim waist.
And they indulged in a passionate kiss.
Though he desired more, there simply wasn’t time that day..
