Chapter 398 - 398 Good Things!
398 Good Things!
Splash!
Chen Yun grabbed it.
“Oh, it’s a big one.”
Hm?
Was this a large wooden box? It was quite exquisite.
Knock, knock, knock!
Chen Yun knocked on it, but there was no reaction. It seemed that there were no living creatures inside. However, it was difficult for Chen Yun to open this box.
“This lock…”
It was simply interesting. This iron lock was actually made into a Rubik’s Cube, making Chen Yun unable to do anything.
If he smashed it open, Chen Yun was also afraid of damaging the things inside.
Just as he was thinking about this, the other fishing rod suddenly sank. Chen Yun raised his hand and a ball of light landed in his hand.
The light dissipated.
[Congratulations, host. You have received the Body Strengthening Potion (Weakened Version).]
[After taking the Body Strengthening Potion, your physical fitness can increase by 60%. Note that it is a comprehensive enhancement that enhances characteristics including strength, agility, and physical fitness…]
Was it that powerful?
Chen Yun looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
A burning feeling rose in his body, as if he had drunk wine with high alcohol content.
For a moment, Chen Yun felt his body burn.
This!
In an instant, Chen Yun clutched his chest and frowned.
“F*ck you. It hurts so much!” Chen Yun coughed. His cells seemed to have been scraped by a knife. His entire body began to hurt, making Chen Yun tremble in pain.
A moment later, Chen Yun fell on his back and panted heavily.
He clenched his fists, and the sound of bones rubbing sounded. He jumped up like a fish jumping from the fishing platform. Sensing his physical condition, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
“Even if it hurts, it’s worth it,” muttered Chen Yun to himself.
He carried the box back to his room and looked at the lock on it. After checking the information, he realized that this thing was called the Burr puzzle.
Initially, Chen Yun thought that there were specific steps to solve the Burr puzzle, but after following the lessons online, he realized that the Burr puzzle was getting more and more complicated.
“I can’t smash it either. I can’t unlock it. Forget it, forget it. I’ll sleep first.” Chen Yun looked at his watch and realized that he had attempted to solve it until past two o’clock.
The next day, at dawn, Chen Yun’s phone rang.
“Hmm? Who are you?”
“Mr. Chen? I’m Liu Yin.”
“I’ll give you an address. You can just take a taxi over. When you arrive, give me your name. The receptionist will bring you up.”
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, the lobby manager stood at the door with Liu Yin.
“Mr. Chen, this old man said that he’s here to look for you.”
“Sorry to trouble you.”
The lobby manager bowed slightly to Chen Yun. “This is what we should do.”
“Elder Liu, come in. There’s no need to be restrained. Have you settled everything?” Chen Yun sat down with him and poured him a cup of tea. The latter nodded and was about to say something when he saw the box beside him and was suddenly stunned.
“Is this a Burr puzzle?”
Chen Yun pointed at the lock on the box. “Do you know this thing?”
“I know a little.” The old man quickly walked over and sat on the ground. He touched the box. “This box is actually made of rosewood. How much is such a big piece of wood? Tsk tsk, I can’t imagine where you bought it. This is top-notch rosewood. The price is comparable to gold.”
As soon as he said this, Chen Yun did not know how to explain. He could not tell Liu Yin that he had caught it, right? He changed the topic. “Elder Liu, you don’t have to be polite to me. Just call me Chen Yun.”
“Chen Yun… That’s not good. Why don’t I call you Young Master Chen or Young Master?”
“This …”
Alright, this time, it was even worse than before. However, Chen Yun could not be bothered with this. He did not expect this box to be made of Hainan rosewood. Such a big piece of material was very valuable. The things inside tempted Chen Yun even more.
Not only that, but Liu Yin could tell at a gaze that this was a Burr puzzle and that this box was made of rosewood. This also surprised Chen Yun.
“Elder Liu, do you know how to solve this?”
“Yes.”
Liu Yin responded and immediately began to unlock the door. Chen Yun sat on the sofa and quietly watched Liu Yin unlock the lock. After all, he could not interfere in such matters.
Click!
As he drank tea, after an unknown period of time, a sound made Chen Yun suddenly stand up.
The Burr puzzle had been solved!
“Elder Liu, step back.” Chen Yun slowly opened the lock. He did not know if there was a living creature inside, so he had to be careful.
It was better to be safe than sorry. Chen Yun did not want to fail miserably.
The next moment, he suddenly opened the box.
This was!
There were many porcelain and jade artifacts placed in the box, causing the two people who were looking at the box to be stunned. The sunlight shone into the suite and reflected into the box, causing the things in the entire box to suddenly glow. It was abnormally gorgeous.
“Oh my god, what are these?!”
Before Chen Yun could speak, Liu Yin suddenly shouted and pounced on the box.
“This Yixing clay teapot is from the Ming Dynasty. It’s smooth and exquisite. There’s a painting of a deer roaming the dense forest on it. This.” He took out a Yixing clay teapot from the box and held it in his hand to admire it carefully, as if he was recalling something. “It’s true. I thought there was only one in the world. I didn’t expect there to be another one here.”
“Elder Liu, what do you mean?”
“This Deer Travels through the Jungle Yixing clay teapot was created by a famous pot maker from the Ming Dynasty. I originally thought that there was only one sold in the world. I didn’t expect there to be another one.”
“This pot was once auctioned at Sotheby’s and was bought by a foreigner. At that time, the auction price was six million US dollars, which was no less than a prize money of 40 million yuan.”
Did this pot cost 40 million yuan?
However, he was even more shocked by Liu Yin’s words. The more he spoke, the more surprised he was about the old man’s identity. This old man was not simple. This time, he might have picked up a treasure.
“Help me look at the other antiques.” Chen Yun looked at the remaining things. Even Liu Yin’s eyes lit up. However, when he looked at the pile of porcelain and jade artifacts, his originally excited expression gradually darkened.
“This is simply nonsense. What a waste of natural resources! Young Master, who exactly placed so many good things in a box? These things are all porcelain and jade artifacts. If they are accidentally dropped, it will be a huge loss!”
As Elder Liu spoke, his voice began to tremble. Just thinking about the scene of these treasures being broken made his heart ache.
Seeing that Liu Yin looked like he expected better and wanted to seek justice for these ancient items, Chen Yun was helpless.
How would he know? Anyway, he didn’t place these in the box.
“Who knows which wastrel it is?!” Chen Yun spoke, but he was also amused by Liu Yin’s fiery temper at his age.
“I… Oh my god, this belongs to the royal family!” Liu Yin held out a white jade vase that was 20 centimeters tall.
