As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal Chapter 81 – 81 The Divine General’s Copper Cannon! Priceless! The Internet Goes Wild! (4)

81 The Divine General’s Copper Cannon! Priceless! The Internet Goes Wild! (4)

“Huh? A cannon? Are you sure?”

Captain Sun had a look of disbelief on his face as he asked this.

What the hell is this?

First, there were guns…

Then, there were grenades…

Then, there were swords…

And now, it’s a cannon?

“Yes, it was probably made during the Xianfeng period of the Qing dynasty. There are words engraved on the cannon that can prove its authenticity. Do you want to come and take a look?”

“Little Luo, you’re asking a rhetorical question, right? If it’s really a cannon, it’s no longer a question of whether I’ll come or not, it’s when I’ll arrive! Don’t touch anything else until I get there, while the cannon might be dormant, there’s still a non-zero chance that it’ll explode, be careful!”

“Alright Captain Sun. I’ll continue digging in the meantime. I’ll also be extra careful!”

Luo Feng was actually not worried at all.

With the Swallowtail Hoe’s life prolonging and death avoidance effect, Luo Feng had nothing to worry about.

After hanging up the phone, Captain Sun calmed down.

Then, he fell into deep thought.

Wait, it’s a cannon this time, right?

I can’t return there alone.

Yeah, I think I’ll need to contact some professionals to take a look at it with me.

After all, the police force aren’t equipped with the knowledge to deal with cannons.

The theory behind antique grenades was similar to that of modern grenades. As such, they were not too difficult to deal with, but the same could not be said about cannons.

…

Very quickly, news of Luo Feng’s new discovering had stretched far and wide in the recesses of the Internet.

Topic:

“An Arsenal of Weapons Discovered by a Streamer!”

“Guns, Grenades! Swords! He Has Everything! Including a trove full of treasures! Gold, Silver, Antiques!”

The moment news of Luo Feng’s discoveries was released.

The article was immediately swarmed with comments!

“F*ck! Did he actually manage to stumble upon an old battlefield?”

“Guns? Grenades?”

“Hundreds of guns?”

“Awesome! This streamer is up to something again!”

“The last time, he excavated an ancient village, and now he’s excavating an old battlefield? ”

“Hurry up and light up the cannon to see whether it’s still usable! If it works, he should donate it to Africa for their war efforts!”

“Who are you looking down on? They’re also using mortars in Africa now!”

As expected, Luo Feng’s feat had made it all the way to the number one trending page in Baidu.

After all his past accolades, Luo Feng was no longer considered to be a stranger in the Chinese social sphere.

Especially since he had made it to the top trending page several times before this.

Moreover, everyone was also very excited about his latest find. It was involved with military equipment, after all.

…

…

At this moment, although Luo Feng had already fully unearthed the massive cannon, his goal of contacting Captain Sun was to request assistance in ensuring that there was no ammunition left.

If ammunition was present, it was an explosion-risk, and would put lives at stake.

If not, it was safe.

Unfortunately, Luo Feng was not blessed with X-ray vision by the system, and as such, he could not determine what was stored within the cannon.

“Master Zhong is here! Luo Feng, Master Zhong is here!”

At this moment, an old man came from not far away. Qin Rubing immediately went up to him. It was clear that he was the silver expert Qin Rubing had alluded to earlier.

“Where are the items I’m supposed to look through?”

Master Zhong and Qin Rubing immediately exchanged greetings, but the former was rather surprised to see the massive cannon beside a pit. Although the passing of time had been rather unkind towards it, it still had a majestic and imposing presence.

“This… This should be a cannon from the Qing dynasty? It should be a Qing dynasty cannon from around 300 to 500 years ago, right?”

Master Zhong’s eyes widened, and he immediately walked up.

“There are words engraved on it. It’s from the Xianfeng period. If I’m not wrong, it should be an improved version of the Divine General’s bronze cannon from the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods!”

Luo Feng was secretly impressed by Master Zhong’s knowledge.

Not only was he an expert in silver coins, he was also knowledgeable in regards to cannons?

“This thing is really extraordinary! I have seen a few of them a few years ago, but the degree of preservation was not nearly as good as this one!”

Master Zhong’s attention was fully placed on the cannon as he spoke. It was as if everything else was made of glass, present, but see-through.

“Ahem, ahem. Master Zhong, why don’t you direct your attention to that chest over there instead? There’s a certain silver coin that I need your help appraising!”

Qin Rubing reminded.

Luo Feng lifted up the chest’s lid as she did so.

“Just this one?”

“It’s the real deal!”

“But it’s just a Yuan Datou from the 3rd year of the Republic of China. It’s not worth much!”

“Wait… It’s a Chuan Di version?”

“!!!”

At first, Master Zhong was very calm and had treated the coin like any other, but the moment he laid eyes upon the words “Chuan Di”, his eyes widened greatly and his words were charged with emotion.

“How much is it worth?”

An Peng asked carefully.

“This version of the Yuan Datou silver coin is a very rare honorary edition, with a total circulation of less than 1,000 at the time of production. Later, its supply was further reduced, and thus, it is an extremely rare find nowadays.”

“Naturally, it has also never appeared in any auctions!”

“But if I were to base its price on the Gan Su edition of this coin, the Chuan Di version could probably go for 5 million to 10 million yuan!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Rubing immediately made the first offer: “Well, Mr. Luo, Rare Treasure Pavilion is willing to offer 8 million for this coin, which is at the high end of the price range mentioned by Mr. Zhong!”

“Little Luo, as former business partners, I’ll give you an even sweeter deal. I’ll offer you 8.5 million yuan! You need not consider anyone else’s offer for this!””

When Ji Shunjin saw that Qin Rubing had made a bid, he naturally did not back down.

If he were to promote such an item in his auction, it would definitely attract the attention of many rich people from all over the country.

“Mr. Ji, we’re not happy with what you’re saying! Are you saying that in order to appease you, none of us should make a bid?”

“Indeed, are we undeserving of such a right?”

The other collectors glared at Ji Shunjin.

Very quickly… Someone in the crowd shouted again, “The one with the highest bid will get it, as is with most auctions. Anyhow, I believe everyone here trusts Master Zhong’s appraisal of the item, and as such, I, Hua Juncai, will offer a bid of 9 million…”
