74: Beautiful female agent, plotting against the Japanese devils
Steed Pottery, starting bid 100,000!
Chen Yang was overjoyed!
Which appraiser gave such a low starting price?
I must treat him to tea another day!
Thank him for his brilliant wisdom!
Chen Yang was also very curious.
He didn't know.
What was wrong with this antique?
Why was there such a huge discrepancy between the marked price and the actual value?
He would check it carefully with his Golden Eyes later.
Before the Auction, all the artworks would be displayed in a specific area for bidders to admire.
Understanding them clearly would allow for targeted and bold bidding later.
Around the display stand, Han Feixue, Liu Sisi, and others were very curious.
These antiques looked ordinary, so why were they so valuable?
Amateurs watch the excitement.
Only Feng Danqing seemed to see some insight, but she wasn't very proficient.
She was more interested in calligraphy and paintings; her expertise in other areas was not deep.
Chen Yang was also completely clueless about antiques, a pure layman.
He looked around, not missing a single item.
He seemed indifferent, but in reality, he was secretly using his Golden Eyes to carefully scan each exhibit.
In his mind, he remembered the approximate age, categorizing them as: modern art, three hundred years, five hundred years, one thousand years, etc.
Soon, the display was over, and the Auction was about to begin.
Everyone took their seats one after another.
Chen Yang did not sit with the ladies but arranged for them to sit in strange positions, instructing them:
"Later, I will use Secret Sound Transmission to you; others won't hear it, so don't be surprised."
"Do everything according to my instructions; don't ask why. This matter is very important."
"Did you all hear me clearly?"
Liu Sisi nodded obediently.
Feng Danqing pondered and also nodded slightly.
Only Han Feixue looked curious.
"What are you doing?"
"Aren't you here to participate in the Auction to bid on antiques?"
"Are you perhaps carrying out some special mission?"
Chen Yang tapped Han Feixue's head with his hand.
"Didn't you hear me say not to ask too many questions?"
"Of course, I'm participating in the Auction! I'm just making some small moves on the side."
"Just think of it as... we're playing a game, a small mission."
"If you cooperate and the game goes smoothly, I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight!"
Han Feixue's eyes lit up.
She clapped her hands and said, "Good, I like this game!"
Everyone took their seats.
Chen Yang sat in the corner, in the least conspicuous position.
He silently chanted, "Upgrade Secret Sound Transmission."
"Ding!"
"Consuming 10 points, 'Secret Sound Transmission' has been upgraded to Level 2. Transmission range: 3 meters."
"Current points remaining: 680 points."
"Continue to upgrade!" Chen Yang ordered again.
"Ding!"
"Consuming 20 points, 'Secret Sound Transmission' has been upgraded to Level 3. Transmission range: 10 meters."
"Current points remaining: 660 points."
Chen Yang was secretly delighted.
Secret Sound Transmission, this special skill, had much easier upgrade conditions than Portable Space and Golden Eyes.
A 10-meter distance didn't seem quite enough, so he decided to upgrade it one more level to ensure foolproofness.
"Ding!"
"Consuming 30 points, 'Secret Sound Transmission' has been upgraded to Level 4. Transmission range: 30 meters."
"Current points remaining: 630 points."
Hmm!
A 30-meter Secret Sound Transmission distance should be enough.
At this time, Liu Sisi, Feng Danqing, Han Feixue, and Xiaoyue were sitting in a front position.
Their distance from Chen Yang was within the 30-meter range.
They pretended not to know each other, surrounding a middle-aged man of about forty years old.
The man was not tall and was dressed very meticulously.
He had a Nickname.
He looked around and found himself surrounded by beautiful women, each more radiant than the last!
He couldn't help but inwardly rejoice.
His luck was good today; he hoped everything would go smoothly and he could acquire the best antiques.
If possible, hooking up with a pretty girl would be even better!
Ga ga ga... This person was indeed the little devils Special Agent shown in the intelligence, Kameda Shoji.
He came to China, disguised as a Chinese, and took the name Tian Shoji.
Besides stealing intelligence, he was particularly keen on transporting ancient cultural relics, inherited for thousands of years in China, back to Japan.
As a patriotic youth, Chen Yang would never allow China's national treasures to be transported overseas.
As for his Special Agent identity, he would tell Black Tiger later for tracking and investigation, which might lead to a series of little devils.
The person hosting today's Auction was a shrewd and capable Slender-Waisted Young Lady.
She was very eloquent and spoke persuasively.
For each item presented, she could speak eloquently, from the historical era of the antique artwork, the master who created it, the craftsmanship, quality, rarity, heritage background, market valuation, and other aspects, providing a very comprehensive introduction.
She could even make someone who didn't like antiques develop a strong interest, let alone the professional collectors who loved this field at the scene.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually intensified, and the bidding enthusiasm rose in waves.
Kameda Shoji was very composed.
The items auctioned at the beginning were relatively ordinary antiques.
He had a huge appetite and didn't want to waste energy or attract attention for these things.
He had his eyes on three antiques, all priceless national treasures.
If he could acquire all of them, his trip would be a huge success.
Chen Yang had been silently observing and admired Kameda Shoji's composure.
The ladies had waited for a long time without receiving Chen Yang's signal and were a bit anxious.
They couldn't figure out how he would use Secret Sound Transmission or when he would remind them.
Han Feixue took out her phone and kept staring at the screen, checking if he had sent a message.
After waiting for a long time, she didn't see any message.
She couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Chen Yang.
As a result, she really received a text message: "Don't look at me! You must follow the rules of the game!"
Han Feixue pouted and had to continue waiting.
The Auction gradually entered its climax, with each item presented being more precious than the last, and prices rising steadily.
The Slender-Waisted Young Lady sweetly introduced: "Now it's the 15th item, this is a precious..."
The young lady spoke eloquently, and many people below the stage began to eager to try.
Nickname finally reacted.
He sat up straight, picked up his number plate, ready to raise his hand at any moment.
Chen Yang's spirit was invigorated.
He cursed under his breath, "little devils, he really has good taste."
Chen Yang didn't know what this collection was, but he clearly remembered that its age was at least five hundred years, absolutely priceless.
Antiques, if other factors are not considered, simply in terms of age, the older they are, the higher their value.
Of course, this assessment is certainly not comprehensive, but with Chen Yang's level, he could only judge it this way.
A five-hundred-year-old antique must not fall into the hands of the little devils.
Chen Yang immediately used Secret Sound Transmission.
"Danqing, talk to Nickname and distract him."
"Especially when he's about to raise his bid, interrupt him with conversation."
Feng Danqing had been waiting anxiously, not knowing what Chen Yang wanted her to do or how and when he would remind her.
Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
She was startled.
She secretly glanced at the expressions of the people next to her and found that no one else reacted; only she could hear Chen Yang's voice.
While relieved, she couldn't help but nod secretly, observing the movements of Nickname next to her.
This guy was gripping his smallbrand, ready to raise his hand at any moment.
Feng Danqing smoothed her hair and shyly asked, "Hello, sir! I don't understand these things very well. Could you please help me introduce them?"
Nickname turned his head and saw that a beautiful woman was talking to him, making his bones feel three points lighter.
Yoxi!
My charm is still so great!
It seems I'll have a romantic encounter today!
He immediately smiled and explained to Feng Danqing.
His explanation was excellent, even more accurate and detailed than the Slender-Waisted Young Lady's.
Feng Danqing occasionally let out soft giggles, making Kameda Shoji even more enthusiastic.
"Clap!"
"Congratulations to this lady for winning the 15th collection."
The gavel fell!
The Slender-Waisted Young Lady announced the final winner.
Kameda Shoji was filled with regret!
He was so busy flirting that he forgot to raise his bid, letting others win.
Women really mess things up!
He really wanted to slap himself!
How could he be greedy for female beauty at such a crucial moment?
Kameda Shoji secretly made up his mind.
There were still two more items to be auctioned, both very valuable.
If he could bring them back to Japan, it would still be a great achievement!
Baka!
He must take this as a warning and not make the same mistake again.
