Chapter 470: Am I As Tall As You?
Chapter 470: Are You Taller Than Me?
"What is this object?" Mengyu asked Xiao Tao mentally.
Xiao Tao quickly explained: "This should be a brush holder. I can’t tell exactly from which dynasty it is, but it’s at least five thousand years old, and its Essence Value is over ten thousand."
Mengyu had not forgotten that when she was in City B, she acquired more than a hundred Ming Dynasty Items from a Warring States Tomb, which earned her just over one hundred thousand Sun and Moon Essence Value.
But now, this dog bowl she couldn’t even determine the material of, surprisingly had over ten thousand Essence Value?
An object dating back five thousand years could possibly have a research value greater than any other.
Shen Qi took out the item he had collected, a knockoff Ming Dynasty official kiln blue and white porcelain vase with folding branch fruit pattern. Mengyu knew at a glance that this vase was worth a lot of money. It could sell for over four million in later times.
Mengyu also took out the items she had collected.
Everyone was surprised when they saw the box of Ming Dynasty Items that Mengyu had collected: "So many!"
She didn’t say that actually, she had collected four boxes. But those were treasures passed down from generation to generation in a family of Tomb Raiders, treasures she wanted to keep for herself. Therefore, she only brought out one box of Ming Dynasty Items acquired by Ah Zhu last time.
In the end, after some discussion, everyone agreed on a points division. Wu Jiangsheng had collected non-antiques, spent one hundred Yuan, and because it was his first time, he neither gained nor lost points.
The value of Zhang Shuiyu’s jewelry was roughly three thousand Yuan. After deducting the five hundred Yuan she spent on the antiques, she netted two thousand five hundred points.
The research value of Xiao Hua’s plate could not be estimated, but in terms of real sales value, it probably wouldn’t fetch much. However, thinking of its Essence Value, Mengyu suggested awarding her one hundred thousand points. Everyone felt that the plate wasn’t worth that much, but the most any of them had put in was one thousand Yuan, and since most of the investment money was Jiang Mengyu’s, they didn’t object.
After deducting the capital of two Yuan, it came to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight points.
Xiao Hua never thought that she would earn nearly one hundred thousand Yuan so easily, and was somewhat overwhelmed: "Isn’t this a bit too much?"
At this time, the value of Shen Qi’s blue and white porcelain vase was about thirty thousand. After deducting the eighteen thousand Yuan he had spent, he was awarded twelve thousand points.
The box of antiques Jiang Mengyu brought out was worth at least several million, but Mengyu insisted on calculating it as only five hundred thousand. After deducting the one hundred thousand she spent, she netted four hundred thousand points.
These points were essentially money, one yuan per point. In the future, when the antiques were sold, money would be distributed to everyone according to their points first, and then the remaining proceeds would be divided according to shares.
In addition to the points, Mengyu had also accrued a good amount of Essence Value, but she decided not to share this with everyone.
She took out some Yuan Nourishing Pill: "Everyone has worked hard. These Yuan Nourishing Pills are for everyone’s cultivation." Saying this, she distributed a bottle of Yuan Nourishing Pills to each person.
Wu Jiangsheng had just been annoyed that he didn’t get any points after a day’s hard work, but as soon as he saw the Yuan Nourishing Pills that Mengyu took out, he immediately cheered up.
He opened the lid and saw that it contained ten Yuan Nourishing Pills, which shocked him: "So many!"
He had heard that a Martial Artist could break through a level by taking just one Yuan Nourishing Pill. With ten pills here, that was ten levels.
Mengyu rolled her eyes at him: "If you think it’s too much, give it back to me."
Wu Jiangsheng quickly stowed away the Yuan Nourishing Pill: "Gifts from my elder, I dare not refuse."
When he said "elder," he didn’t pronounce it as "zhǎng" but as "cháng."
Mengyu couldn’t help but laugh and hit him: "Talking about elders, am I as tall as you?"
She only meant to say that she wasn’t as tall as Wu Jiangsheng, who had already reached one point eight meters at the age of seventeen.
It’s just that, as soon as the words left her mouth, why did it feel somewhat inappropriate?
