MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 2 The rediscovery of power
"Hey, wake up."
In the haze, Li Xiaoshuai felt that someone was calling him, opened his eyes and saw that the sky was already bright.
When he saw that it was a fat middle-aged policeman with a beer belly who woke him up, there was a police car parked on the road beside the grass with the top lights still flashing. There were seven or eight watchers around, who were pointing at him.
"Understood, I guess these people probably thought I was a drug addict and thought I died in this place."
Li Xiaoshuai was all about his clairvoyant ability, and was afraid that his clairvoyance would be gone when he woke up.
He saw that the policeman still had a Colt police revolver hanging from his waist, so he wanted to take a look at it again. The ability reappeared, and through the leather holster, the barrel inserted into the holster was still clearly visible.
He secretly rejoiced, "Great, the ability is still there!"
However, this time the see-through also made him completely understand that the see-through eye has no effect on the police's body see-through, which means that the see-through eye cannot see the human body like X-rays.
"I'm sorry, I was drunk last night because of my brokenheartedness." Li Xiaoshuai's lie came as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Oh, poor child, you're too innocent." The policeman was relieved. "The only way to heal a broken love is to have another relationship."
"thanks."
Since there was nothing to do, the police drove away, and the crowd watching the excitement dispersed immediately.
Li Xiaoshuai sat on the grass and tested it against the backpacks of the pedestrians who came and went, um; the clairvoyant is indeed still there!
Good, that's relieved.
"Gulu, Gulu" Li Xiaoshuai's belly began to protest, he touched his shriveled belly and said to himself: Yes, let's go to breakfast.
Li Xiaoshuai ordered a hamburger in a small McDonald's on Street 82. After paying for it, he secretly used clairvoyance to look at the cashier's cash box, which contained a lot of banknotes.
Li Xiaoshuai officially confirmed that he really has the ability to see through!
And this ability he wants to use, he doesn't want to use it; the ability will never start talking about itself. The only downside is that it takes a lot of energy to use powers. If you don't pay attention, you will feel dizzy and want to sleep like you have a serious illness.
After breakfast, Li Xiaoshuai checked that it was still early, and most of the shops on the street had not yet opened, so he wandered aimlessly in Midtown Manhattan.
Along the way, I couldn't help experimenting with my abilities, and I saw several dollar coins that were lost in the cracks of the sidewalk bricks.
In line with the fine tradition of Chinese diligence and thrift, Li Xiaoshuai picked up all the 50 cents and one dollar, and left the one cent and ten cents to the destined people in the future.
As the shops opened one after another, Li Xiaoshuai knew that nine o'clock had passed without looking at his mobile phone.
"Dududu" Li Xiaoshuai's cell phone rang, he took it out and saw that the word "mother" was displayed on it. She had made more than a dozen calls since last night.
"Hello; Mom, what's going on?" Li Xiaoshuai asked in Yongjiang, Zhejiang Province, his parents' hometown.
Yongjiang is the hometown of Li Xiaoshuai's parents. Both parents speak their hometown dialect at home, so Li Xiaoshuai naturally learned it.
"Why didn't Nong come back last night, where did he go? I made a lot of calls, how could Nong never return, it made me worried to death."
Then Li Xiaoshuai began to lie, saying that he was depressed where Ron was drinking, and that he slept in his shop when he was late.
Xia Huifang is very familiar with this Ron. This boy is his son's middle school classmate, and the two have a very good relationship.
Knowing that his son is all right, his mother is relieved now, and she takes care of him again and again, why don't you drink less, work or find Yunyun slowly, and tell him to go home at night.
His mother's care warmed Li Xiaoshuai's heart, and he secretly made up his mind that this time, with his supernatural powers, he must make his mother happy for the rest of her life, and let her go home beautifully.
Yongjiang is located in the eastern Zhejiang of the Celestial Dynasty, where the economy is developed, and there are many private small workshops and small factories.
Seven years ago, their mother and son followed his father's last wish and sent his ashes back to the ancestral grave of his hometown for burial. Because of the poverty in their pockets, they did not send gifts to relatives, and they were ridiculed with cold eyes, saying that they were poor American ghosts.
Li Xiaoshuai was 16 back then. Of course, he could see the state of the world, and he deeply imprinted this scene in my heart!
Without a purpose, Li Xiaoshuai found himself walking to the door of the Metropolitan Museum.
As Li Xiaoshuai, who is studying in New York, he is very familiar with the Metropolitan Museum and has been there many times.
It is the largest art museum in the United States, covering an area of 130,000 square meters. It is one of the four largest art museums in the world with the British Museum in London, the Louvre in France and the Hermitage in Russia.
Opposite it is the American Museum of Natural History.
When he arrived at the gate of the museum, Li Xiaoshuai's eyes felt very comfortable. This kind of relaxed feeling made him want to go in and have a look.
To be able to go to the museum so easily, as long as he still picked up $200 last night, if he didn't have the money, what would he be reluctant to enter the museum?
It was just past nine thirty, and the museum was already open.
Although the Metropolitan Museum says it is free to the public, visitors can also buy a ticket for $25 if they wish.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Xiaoshuai went straight to the Egyptian Pavilion with the oldest collection in the museum by feeling.
In front of a mummy, Li Xiaoshuai looked at it with a perspective eye.
Suddenly he saw that a line of Chinese characters appeared on the top of the mummy, with the words "Mummy; The Wadiye Period of the Second Dynasty of Ancient Egypt."
Looking at another golden mask, there is also a line on it, which reads "Mummy; the third dynasty of ancient Egypt, the period of Djoser."
Hey, the clairvoyant also has the ability to determine the age.
Li Xiaoshuai said, this is a very good ability, very practical!
From this, he thought, if my clairvoyant can have such powers, then I can become an antique appraiser.
Haha, that's so interesting!
If I can identify antiques, I can pick up leaks! Pick up neglected or abandoned treasures!
Well, that's a real boulevard, I love it!
Thinking of it, Li Xiaoshuai went to the Oriental Pavilion again, which was full of ancient cultural relics of the Rabbit Kingdom.
Using the see-through eye function, Li Xiaoshuai saw that the words "Blue and White Porcelain, Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty" were written on a large blue and white bowl. On another pair of ancient paintings, it reads "Chinese painting; Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty."
An ancient lacquer plate, UU reading www.uukanshu.com see-through eyes automatically display: "Tick rhinoceros; Yuan Dynasty", a horn-shaped cup: "Agate cup, Tang Dynasty."
Yongle; Li Xiaoshuai still doesn't know who Kangxi is, but he still knows about the Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, etc. This is the name of the ancient dynasty of the Rabbit Kingdom.
. . . . . .
There is no need to continue, Li Xiaoshuai has determined that in addition to perspective, the ability also has the ability to identify antiques!
After exiting the gate of the museum, Li Xiaoshuai lit a cigarette and sat on the steps in front of the gate to calm his bubbling mind.
After this calm, he thought of where to collect antiques, where the most antiques are at the cheapest price?
After tossing and turning, Li Xiaoshuai thought of the warehouse auction.
Because the warehouse auctions are all guessed by people with their eyes closed, it is a gamble, but for me it seems like it is spread out, there is no secret at all, just pick the cheapest and highest value to start. That's it.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Well, it seems that I have to find a master to lead the door." Li Xiaoshuai thought to himself that the owner of the second-hand store where his mother worked was the most suitable old man Sean Gardner.
Because warehouse picking and second-hand stores are upstream and downstream, most of the second-hand goods picked up by treasure collectors are sold to second-hand stores.
The Gardner family is an ancestral owner of a second-hand store. He is familiar with this area. He studied with him for a period of time, and then met other antique store owners in New York City through him.
Well, with contacts, after finding antiques in the future, sales will naturally be there.
If it is not sold, it is a museum.
I'm a pauper right now, just for the green dollars! Open a museum, brother, I don't have such a high sentiment.
