Ye Cheng thought to himself, This is going to be lively.
Riding a Donkey to Fight glanced at Ye Cheng before turning to look at Lin Wanyu, his eyes shining. He guessed that he had triggered the Conquest quest quest.
Gao Yuanyuan's eyes wavered as he looked at Ye Cheng with curiosity.
"You…" Riding Donkey to Fight smiled proudly at Ye Cheng. "Did you hear what I said in the World Channel? Have you considered it? There are many players who are willing to follow me now. Come over and call me big brother. It's only a matter of time before we dominate this game. Follow me and don't be afraid of trouble. If you cause trouble, I'll settle it. If it doesn't work, I'll just kill him offline.”
"Uh…" Ye Cheng was a little dumbfounded. This guy was too arrogant, wasn't he?
Gao Yuanyuan, who was beside him, seemed to be a little annoyed by the arrogant attitude of riding a donkey to fight. She smiled at Ye Cheng and said,"Hello. I've seen the Weibo video of you using acupuncture to save people on the street. It's very good.”
"Yuanyuan, don't be so polite with him. In real life, this guy might be a loser.”Riding Donkey to Fight said hurriedly.
"Huang Hengyuan, I beg you not to call me that intimately…We're not that close, are we? Also, why are you always sticking to me when we're playing our own games?”Gao Yuanyuan said in a dissatisfied tone.
It turned out that the real name of the player who rode the donkey to fight was Huang Hengyuan. Judging from their appearances, Cheng Cheng was 100% sure that Gao Yuanyuan and Huang Hengyuan didn't have a good relationship. They probably couldn't even be considered ordinary friends.
Huang Hengyuan laughed dryly and looked at Lin Wanyu.“NPC？Alright, follow me. Let me conquer you!"
Lin Wanyu was shocked by Huang Hengyuan's inexplicable arrogance and quickly hid behind Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng held Lin Wanyu's hand and interlocked his fingers, signaling her not to be afraid.
"Don't scare my girlfriend.”Ye Cheng said provocatively.
"You?" Huang Hengyuan was furious."This NPC is your girlfriend? Alright, poor mountain person, I'm warning you, break up with her immediately! Otherwise, when I get angry, you'll be finished. I'll use force to tell you that beauties are only worthy of the strong!”
After a pause, Huang Hengyuan shouted at Lin Wanyu again. "Come, be the woman of the King! Many women dream of being my woman, but I won't give them any chance. You are lucky. Come, I'll keep you. Earning money isn't a problem. You can have as much as you want.”
After all, this was a game. Huang Hengyuan didn't know Lin Wanyu's background and planned to conquer her in the most domineering way.
"
Ding!" System Notification: Lin Wanyu's favorability towards players riding donkeys to fight-50. Favorability-50."Detestable" status.”
"Ye Cheng…Is this person crazy…" Lin Wanyu whispered. "Let's go. Seeing this person makes me feel disgusted.”
"What happened? His favorability decreased by 50 points? Fuck!" Huang Hengyuan said to Ye Cheng in a sinister manner. "Poor guy, you are the first player in the entire server to reach level 3. You must have obtained a few skill books. If I'm not wrong, you obtained the medical skill…Why, why are you here at the antique street? Want to pick up scraps like others? Be careful not to lose everything. However, if you submit to me, I can consider flying with you.”
Huang Hengyuan obtained a skill book for Appraiser (Part One). After learning it, he managed to find a few high-quality items in the Antique Street yesterday, earning tens of millions of dollars.
Although Gao Yuanyuan didn't like Huang Hengyuan's expertise in appraising treasures, he couldn't help but admire him.
"Then you obtained the skill of appraising treasures…" Ye Cheng smiled faintly.
"Medical skills are not as profitable as mine.”Huang Hengyuan said arrogantly. "I can earn money by playing around in the Antique Street for a few days. Besides, I still have a bunch of underlings earning money for me. Poor man, what do you have to fight me? I said I would step on you, and I will. It's not too late to join me now, or it'll be too late for regrets.”
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like he was collecting junk walked into the antique shop nervously with a scroll of painting in his hand."Boss, boss, let me take a look at this painting."”
The owner of the antique shop was the old man in the Tang suit who had asked Huang Hengyuan to appraise the snuff bottle. He did not dare to neglect the business and quickly went up to him.
"Let me do it." Huang Hengyuan said casually.
"Alright, give me a hand.”It seemed that the shop owner was very convinced of Huang Hengyuan's appraisal ability.
Huang Hengyuan walked forward. Gao Yuanyuan seemed to be very interested in appraising treasures and followed him.
Ye Cheng smiled."Wanyu, let's go and take a look."”
Lin Wanyu whispered. "Ye Cheng, do you understand this?"
"Ha ~~~ Of course I understand." Ye Cheng smiled confidently and pulled Lin Wanyu over.
"What is this?" The boss said to the middle-aged man who was collecting junk.
"This is a painting passed down in my family. It's Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone painting.”The rag-and-bone collector said with a solemn expression. "My son is getting married recently, and I'm short of money. I can only sell it.”
"Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone paintings?" Hearing this, the boss's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Zheng Banqiao was an outstanding artistic celebrity in the history of China. He was the main representative of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. He was a painter and writer famous for his three unique skills, poetry, calligraphy, and painting.
He is good at painting flowers, wood and stone, especially orchid and bamboo. In his life, he painted the most bamboo, followed by orchid and stone. He was a representative literati painter of the Qing Dynasty.
There were not many works of Zheng Banqiao that were passed down to later generations, so every piece of work was extremely precious.
Last month in Shanghai, at an auction, an authentic bamboo and stone painting by Zheng Banqiao was sold for 5.75 million yuan.
Ye Cheng and Huang Hengyuan's expressions changed slightly.
If this Bamboo Stone Painting was authentic, it would undoubtedly be a huge business deal.
The boss carefully took the scroll from the hand of the junk collector and gently unfolded it on the table.
The painting was about 170 centimeters long and 90 centimeters wide. It was indeed a painting of bamboo and stone. The bamboo stood tall and straight into the sky. Every leaf had a different expression. It was ink-black and bright, and the shades were precise. It vividly expressed the texture of bamboo. In the composition, the position of the bamboo and stone was very harmonious with the words of the poem. The beauty of the bamboo's slender and clear wind set off the other style of the stone.
The boss looked at Huang Hengyuan after a while.
Then, the boss and Huang Hengyuan shook their heads at the same time.
Seeing this, a hint of cunning flashed across the eyes of the junk collector, but he quickly returned to his simple and honest appearance.
Ye Cheng saw everything and smiled in his heart.‘It seemed that there were many actors in this world. This junk collector is a liar…"
" Mr. Huang, what do you think?”The boss asked respectfully.
"Fake." Huang Hengyuan smiled proudly. 100% fake, no doubt.
"What? No way! This was a family heirloom left behind by the ancestor!”The junk collector stomped his feet anxiously. "How can it be a fake? I can't!"
"Alright, alright, stop pretending. How much do you want?”The boss sneered.
"I…I don't know either…but…someone gave me this number--" The rag-and-bone man gestured with five fingers. "50,000..."
"Mr. Huang, what do you think?”The boss asked Huang Hengyuan for his opinion.
"To determine the authenticity of a painting, you have to look at it from three aspects. The first is the painting itself, the second is the signature, and the third is the seal.”Huang Hengyuan began to show off his knowledge. "First, let's talk about the painting itself. Zheng Banqiao's style of creation can be summarized into a few words: 'Cut off the complexity and leave the thin and simple. The entire scene was simple and clear, with clear bamboo and beautiful stones. It was imposing and majestic, with a proud and unexcelled aura. However, the composition of this fake was slightly more complicated. The bamboo was drawn on the plump side, which was seriously inconsistent with Zheng Banqiao's 'thinness'.”
"Moreover, the words of Zheng Banqiao have always been of different sizes and are crooked. It has the rhyme of 'paving the street with rubble and inserting a pole into the wave'. It showed how free and unrestrained he was. The signature of this counterfeit was too fair and rigorous. It wasn't Zheng Banqiao's handwriting.”
"From these two aspects, we have already confirmed that this bamboo stone painting is a fake. There is no point in looking at the seal or anything else.”Huang Hengyuan made his closing statement. "However, this fake was copied at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It can be considered to have a certain history. The painting is also so-so and has some collection value. Personally, I think 20,000 yuan is a fair price. If it exceeds 20,000 yuan, then it's a big spender.”
"That's great! Mr. Huang, your analysis is so thorough! It was too perfect! 20,000 yuan is also my bottom line for this painting!”The boss praised.
Then, the boss said to the junk collector. "Did you hear that? 20,000 yuan. If you want to sell it, we'll have a deal. If it's more than 20,000 yuan, you can take the painting yourself.”
"Hehehehehe ~~~ You're really an expert. You guys are dead. The rag-and-bone man shook his head and laughed. He had become smarter and stopped pretending. "Alright, this painting is actually worth at most 20,000 yuan. Alright, deal."
Right at this moment!
"Wait a minute." Ye Cheng suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at Ye City.
"Sell it to me. I'll pay 100,000 yuan." Ye Cheng smiled faintly.
"What?!" The boss was shocked.
Huang Hengyuan laughed. "A hundred thousand? You…Are you an idiot? Didn't you hear my professional analysis?”
Gao Yuanyuan said somewhat unwillingly. "That…poor man, don't fight with Huang Hengyuan. Although he was a little arrogant, he was indeed very skilled in appraising treasures. Your money isn't from a gun. Don't act on impulse. Just calm down."
"I don't have battle energy. Battle energy was so boring. I'm serious. Can you sell me the 100,000?”Ye Cheng said to the rag-collecting man. Then, he looked at Huang Hengyuan. "It's hard to say who the idiot is. Let's ride a donkey and read the album. We'll see.”
