As Luo Feng stepped into the tent, he commenced the translation of the Oracle Bone Script that Steve had handed over to him.

Steve, having listened to the translation, nodded in approval. “That was excellent, completely accurate. I must commend your deep understanding of the Oracle Bone Script, Mr. Luo. I’m aware of the recent events here, and I’ve always been an advocate for the work at the Erlitou Site.”

Turning to face Master Li and the others present, he stated, “Master Li, you are well aware that I’ve been a consistent supporter of your cause. Unfortunately, there are those who refuse to acknowledge Huaxia’s civilization. This has been a source of frustration for me, being unable to provide any meaningful assistance. However, circumstances have now changed, and I believe I can help. ”

“The decryption and validation of ancient scripts are sophisticated processes that necessitate substantial and detailed supporting evidence. That being said, the discovery of the Nine Zhou Ding has provided us with an alternative method of validating the Oracle Bone Script!”

Curiosity piqued, Master Li asked, “What kind of method are you suggesting?”

“Quite straightforward, actually,” Steve responded, “I propose direct verification.”

Puzzled, Master Li probed further, “Direct verification? Can you elaborate on that?”

As Steve elucidated, “A majority of the discovered Oracle Bone Scripts are related to divination, with only a small fraction recording the historical events of the period. You found the location mentioned in the Nine Zhou Ding within the Oracle Bone Script and used these coordinates to unearth the Ding itself. Could this really be a mere coincidence? It provides definitive proof that the Oracle Bone Script recorded is accurate. In other words, if the script was misinterpreted, we would never have discovered the Nine Zhou Ding!”

He then continued, “I was informed by Master Li that Mr. Luo had found a reference to the Sea Stabilizing Needle within the Oracle Bone Script?”

“Yes!” Master Li confirmed.

“The next step is locating it. Once you have, the translations of the Oracle Bone Scripts and Jinwen Bronzeware Scripts connected to the Xia Dynasty will be regarded as direct verification, something the international community can no longer dispute!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was taken aback.

Could the solution really be that straightforward?

It was a sensation both usual and unusual to him.

Would it be plausible for Luo Feng to identify the treasure locations beforehand, then translate the Oracle Bone Script based solely on his findings?

In essence, a consequence was pre-determined, followed by a justification.

“So, are you suggesting that finding the Sea Stabilizing Needle will verify the accuracy of Luo Feng’s Oracle Bone Script translations?”

“Is the Nine Zhou Ding alone not sufficient? Must he really locate the Sea

Stabilizing Needle as well?”

“A single piece of evidence seems quite insufficient.”

“If it’s recognized, the Erlitou Site could potentially qualify for World Heritage status!”

“This appears somewhat complicated. Luo Feng mentioned that the Sea Stabilizing Needle was an approximation. Given the vastness of the Luo River, how are we supposed to locate it?”

Just then, Luo Feng’s phone interrupted the discussion with its ringtone.

Luo Feng glanced at the screen; it was an unmarked number.

Although unmarked, it was not entirely unfamiliar. Luo Feng recognized it. He speculated it was likely a call from the Metropolitan Museum. “Apologies, Mr. Steve, I need to take this call.”

Excusing himself from the tent, Luo Feng answered, “May I know who’s speaking?”

“Hello Mr. Luo, this is Michael from the Metropolitan Museum.”

“Hello, Michael. How may I be of assistance?”

“We have a proposition that could help Huaxia secure World Heritage status for the Erlitou Site. What do you think?”

Luo Feng did not respond immediately, choosing instead to contemplate.

When someone offers aid without being asked, it usually conceals a hidden motive.

“So, what does your museum desire in return?

Hearing this, Michael could not help but laugh, “The remaining faux tombs of

Cao Cao and the location of the Sea Stabilizing Needle discovered by Mr. Luo.”

Luo Feng responded with a chuckle of his own, thinking, ‘If you were here with me now, I could obliterate you with my spit.’

“Thank you, but I must decline.”

Without a second’s hesitation, Luo Feng terminated the call.

They were attempting to profit from the adversity of others, a truly contemptible act.

However, these individuals failed to understand that the eligibility of the Erlitou Site for heritage status did not solely rely on Luo Feng. While he could lend a hand, he would not do so to his own detriment.

Furthermore, their behavior resembled nothing less than outright extortion, and Luo Feng refused to submit to such conduct. He was capable of handling it independently.

Why should he barter artifacts?

The call had clarified for Luo Feng that securing World Heritage status was a challenge requiring ample evidence.

The crucial factor lay in the translations of the Oracle Bone Scripts.

Once successfully deciphered, the scripts related to the Xia Dynasty from the Erlitou Site would receive global recognition.

Considering that Luo Feng was planning to search for the Sea Stabilizing Needle anyway, he resolved to tackle these issues in tandem.

“Mr. Steve, does your institution have any affiliations with the Metropolitan Museum?” Luo Feng asked upon reentering the tent.

“We do indeed!”

“Do you also study Mayan scripts, Mr. Steve?” Luo Feng queried.

“I certainly do.”

“Are there many scholars at your institution studying Mayan scripts?” Luo Feng probed further.

“Quite a few, just as many as those studying the Oracle Bone Script here!” Steve replied.

“Excellent, I can assist in deciphering Mayan scripts, under one condition: none of the deciphered Mayan scripts can be subjected to an open copyright with the Metropolitan Museum!” Luo Feng asserted with a grin..
