Seeing that Sima Haotian insisted on continuing, Qin Yali knew that there was no point in talking more, so she brought the box to him.
Sima Haotian reached out and took out a ball. Qin Yali peeled off the ball and took out the note inside, then pointed at the camera and said: "The fifth test is a question from the Bay Island Museum, called 'Bronze Years'."
The rules of the Bronze Years Competition are as follows. A total of 138 bronzes were on display, three of which were fakes. The player who correctly selects two fake bronzes first will win the final victory.
This competition tests the identification of bronzes. Bronze wares are known as national wares and have been important to the country since the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Because of their special status, every bronze ware unearthed during the Yin, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods is a national treasure. .
In foreign museums, bronzes are also treasures. They represent the highest wisdom of ancient civilization.
"Is there anything you don't understand about the two contestants?"
Qin Yali asked as usual.
"No."
The two of them replied almost at the same time.
"This way please."
Under the leadership of the staff, the two contestants entered the bronze exhibition hall. Each ancient and generous bronze seemed to tell the history of mankind. Picking out three fakes among one hundred and thirty-eight pieces of bronze was both easy and difficult for Li Mo.
Bronze identification is his shortcoming. He rarely has the opportunity to personally identify it, so it is difficult. It's easy to say, just look at it with the different eyes, and it's immediately clear whether it's true or false.
"Mr. Li, in this competition, if you use the fastest time to pick out three fakes, how long will it take?"
Li Mo turned to look at him and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"Based on your time, I'm considering whether to admit defeat directly. At this stage of the competition, I already know it very clearly. With your ability to identify treasures, I am far from your opponent."
Sima Haotian's condition has become extremely bad. There is a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if he wants to end the next battle early.
People watching the live broadcast were waiting for Li Mo's answer. People in China all looked relaxed, smiling and talking quietly. Others had gloomy faces, and some of them even had panic on their faces, with despair in their eyes, as if they were waiting for the final punishment.
"You wait."
Li Mo started looking at the first piece of bronze. His footsteps did not stop and he walked forward at a constant speed.
"Item 26, the wine bottle is a fake."
"Item 79, the three-legged tripod is a fake."
"Chapter 121, the Sifang Ding is a fake."
Li Mo identified this one and had found all three fakes. There was no need to continue with the rest. He turned around and walked to Sima Haotian and asked, "How long did it take?"
"Less than three minutes." Sima Haotian looked at Qin Yali, "Please announce the results?"
Qin Yali felt that these two games were a little too casual. They would end in a few minutes.
She walked to the wall and revealed the answer under the high-definition camera.
Three numbers are exactly right.
Sima Haotian stared blankly at the answer on the wall. His throat twitched, and he suddenly couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Sima, come quickly."
The competition site was also equipped with a doctor. After more than ten seconds, three people rushed in and began to perform first-aid examination on Sima Haotian.
"It's over, everything is over."
In the conference room, an expert from the Bay Island Museum slumped to the ground and broke down crying.
"The treasures in the museum are gone, all gone."
"Those bastards who killed a thousand people have made a fool of us. All the treasures in the museum have been stolen."
"The family fortune left by our ancestors has been ruined."
Other experts felt the same way. When they saw Sima Haotian vomiting blood and falling to the ground, they suddenly felt that the sky was dark and dark, and everyone's mentality collapsed.
The domestic expert group, which was originally very happy, lost all face when they saw their colleagues on the opposite side crying and shouting regardless of their status.
"Did Li Mo act too harshly this time?"
An expert whispered.
"How arrogant he was before, how miserable he is now. It's not that Li Mo was ruthless, it's that Sima Haotian is too weak." Another expert curled his lips, but when he saw those few people in their fifties and sixties, The island expert still felt a little unbearable.
Bay Island Museum has lost five games in a row, and now even the players are vomiting blood and fainting. Judging from the current trend, it is no longer important whether the sixth game can be continued, because even if the competition goes to Bay Island Museum, there is no chance of winning.
According to the agreement between the two parties, if one party cannot arrive at the scene on time, the competition will be automatically abandoned by default.
So the five competitions are over, and the final outcome is determined in advance.
After being rescued by on-site doctors, Sima Haotian regained consciousness, but his condition was still very bad, so he was sent to the hospital for detailed examination and treatment.
Li Mo sat on the leisure chair and drank black tea silently.
"Xiao Mo, we are sure to win this competition. As long as the sixth game starts, if Sima Haotian hasn't shown up yet, then I can directly announce the final result."
Li Mo said nothing.
"Xiao Mo, what are you thinking about?"
Li Mo put down his tea cup and sighed: "I just think it's a pity that Sima Haotian is used as a gunman. With his ability, he can sustain an era."
"He is from China, but his heart is not here, so no matter how powerful he is, so what. Xiao Mo, we can't change the past, but we can change the future. More than half of the national treasures transported from Wandao this time It is the work of the forces behind it. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. This is the rule of the game they believe in. If we lose this time, our losses will be more than ten times that of the Bay Island Museum."
Li Mo drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, then leaned on the leisure chair and closed his eyes to relax.
He can't control many things because he hasn't reached that level yet. So he decided to stay at school or home honestly from tomorrow on.
"You take a rest first, let's see how Sima Haotian is doing?"
Seeing that he looked tired, Qin Yali winked at the staff member, who took out a clean thin quilt from the cabinet and gently covered him, and then the two of them quietly walked out of the room to sleep.
Li Mo fell asleep in a daze. He was woken up by Qin Yali and saw that it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
"Aunt Qin, I've been sleeping for a long time, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
"Anyway, that Sima Haotian is no longer capable of competing in the sixth game again, so I will let you sleep a little longer."
Li Mo rubbed his temples and asked, "Is the situation serious?"
"Yes, an old Chinese medicine doctor showed him that he needs to stay in bed for a while. But..."
Qin Yali hesitated and didn't know what to say.
"Aunt Qin, if you have anything to say, you can just say it, but what?"
"However, Wandao side lied, saying that they did not intentionally not participate in the sixth competition, but that the players were unable to attend due to physical reasons. It was an accident."
Li Mo's eyes showed a bit of sharpness, and he sneered: "They can talk about whatever they want, I'm too lazy to pay attention to them."
"The Bay Island expert group said they are not convinced by you, so they said they are willing to pay a certain price if you can accept their challenge."
This is a bit interesting. Sima Haotian fell, and they still wanted to fight to the death. But if they think about it carefully, there are still good things in the Bay Island Museum that they haven't taken out.
"I need to know the content of the challenge first, otherwise if they ask me to fly to the sun, I will also vomit blood."
Qin Yali smiled and said: "That's not the case. The question they asked is in the ten-item competition. It's called the final battle. It was originally intended for you to identify the authenticity of a bronze, but now it's become their challenge. Will you accept your final battle?"
How to identify the authenticity of bronzes?
Are they trying to put their heads together and behead them?
"Is there a trap?" Qin Yali asked uncertainly.
"The fifth test is to find three fakes from one hundred and thirty-eight bronzes. Do you think they will ask another question like this? The rules of the final battle are definitely not a simple identification of authenticity. There must be more stringent ones. The rules make it almost impossible for people to complete." Li Mo sneered a few times, "Besides, if I lose, who will do the next competition? I will just play with them stupidly?"
"But they won't stand a chance."
Li Mo's tone was full of absolute confidence and domineering.
"Aunt Qin, I have only one request. They must produce copies of Lang Shining's "Ten Handsome Dogs" and "Hundred Horses", and they are not allowed to make any other requests. If they don't agree, we will follow the rules. I A press conference will be held tonight or overnight to announce the results of today’s competition to the world.”
"Okay, I'll convey your message immediately."
About fifteen minutes later, Qin Yali and two staff members came in, and after some operations, a video call appeared on the TV.
"Li Mo, the experts from Wandao want to negotiate directly with you."
Qin Yali reminded her and stood aside. After she conveyed Li Mo's words, there was almost an uproar in the conference room.
"Hello Mr. Li, we cannot agree to your request." An expert wearing glasses said in a deep voice.
"Of course you can't agree, because you have no power at all, let alone the qualifications. Apart from being shameless and dishonest, I really don't see anything worthy of my admiration in you."
Li Mo even mocked them unceremoniously, not even connecting them with their status as experts. Everyone was shouting loudly before, but now they are acting openly and openly, and they don't even have the courage to accept failure.
"you you…"
"Don't worry about it. If you have the courage to fight, we will continue. If you don't have the courage, just wait for the flight home. Don't waste my time anymore. I have the legal team and the media ready to release information at any time. Yes, the results will be announced.”
"Li Mo, you are too arrogant!"
shouted a gray-haired expert, banging the table.
"Can I be as arrogant as you before?" A sneer appeared on Li Mo's lips.
"Everyone, be quiet." At this time, another expert stopped his team from being impulsive, and then looked at Li Mo through the screen and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, I am the leader of the working group, and I can agree to your request. But I can only take out three of Lang Shining's "Ten Handsome Dogs" and the original "Hundred Horses". You should also know the value of these ancient paintings. If I directly apply for this, the higher-ups will not agree. Yes, so you should give the higher-ups an irresistible reason."
It seemed that someone in the expert group still had a clear mind. Li Mo thought for a moment and said: "Except for the five private pieces in the Bay Island Museum, I can take out the remaining five pieces. I lost, those five pieces You take it back, and on the contrary, Castiglione's works are also my trophies. If you agree, the lawyer team will sign a contract with all of you later. If you don't agree, we don't need to communicate anymore. I will give you half an hour to think about it, and I will eat first. "
After saying that, Li Mo asked the staff to disconnect, and then began to eat the meals that had been prepared long ago. They were still hot in the insulated box.
"Xiao Mo, the Bay Island Museum has taken out three pictures of handsome dogs by Castiglione. If you win, it will make up the real "Ten Pictures of Handsome Dogs". If you kill them, they probably won't think that the other seven pictures of handsome dogs are with you." In your hand." Qin Yali opened the lid of the soup bowl, "Egg and mushroom soup."
"Thanks!"
Less than half an hour later, lawyer Zhu Mingcheng pushed the door open and walked in. He said respectfully: "Mr. Li, everything has been done. They said that if it is convenient for you now, please go to the scene and announce the specific rules of the final battle." .”
Li Mo took two sips of the soup, put down his chopsticks and said, "Let's go."
The sixth test event is called the final battle, and it is naturally the final battle between the two sides.
There are twelve members of the Bay Island expert team, who have arrived at the scene. For young people like Li Mo, they both hate and fear that this time the Bay Island Museum will become a complete joke.
They will naturally become the target of public criticism, and the only way to regain some face for themselves is to win in the final battle.
Otherwise, they would have no shame in going back.
"This competition is not live broadcast, it is a private battle for us. Mr. Li, let's go directly to the topic. The rules of this final battle are that we bring a bronze artifact and you need to identify its authenticity. If it is genuine , then identify the approximate age. If it is false, please provide definite evidence."
Qin Yali frowned slightly, there was indeed a trap.
There was no change on Li Mo's face. He looked at a bronze item covered with a red gauze on the table in front of him, walked over and said, "Let's get started."
The team leader personally lifted the veil, revealing the true face of the bronze vessel inside. Judging from the shape, it is round and covered, like a storage container, which may store wine or food.
The overall height is about 50 centimeters, and the waist is about 40 centimeters in diameter. The surface has complex casting patterns and is covered with iron-red patina. It is very impressive at first glance, because the red and green patina is relatively evenly distributed and natural, making it look like a genuine product.
After Li Mo looked at it for a few minutes, he looked through his eyes and saw that the surface of a bronze vessel actually showed several halos of light, the blue of the Ming Dynasty, the gray of the Qing Dynasty, and the clear light of modern handicrafts. This was simply A hybrid and a true bronze finish are two concepts.
"Mr. Li, do you have the answer?"
The team leader on the Bay Island side asked calmly.
"Fake."
Li Mo clapped his hands and said with a bit of disgust.
"Is there any evidence?"
An expert from the Bay Island Museum couldn't help but jump out and ask.
------Digression-----
Sorry, I've been feeling groggy these past few days. I still couldn't resist it yesterday. I went to the hospital to get fluids and slept until late at night before I recovered. I'll make up for what I'm missing as soon as possible.
