Collection of Gods

Chapter 914 Counting
At night, everything is silent.

After a busy whole day, Tang Yuan and others returned home with a full load again. Everyone had a happy look on their face because today's harvest was so huge. Compared with yesterday, it was nothing. The two could not be compared at all.

"Xiong Kai and Yuan Meng, from now on, the two of you will take turns on duty. One of you will be responsible for guarding the treasure on my floor, and the other will be responsible for the identification and sorting of cultural relics in Conference Room No. 3."

"Later, all wooden boxes, except for the boxes containing the Siku Quanshu and Yongle Dadian, will not be moved. All other wooden boxes will be temporarily moved to the room opposite my suite. After the sorting and restoration of the Siku Quanshu and Yongle Dadian are completed, the treasures in the other wooden boxes will be appraised and sorted."

Because all the treasures have been dug out, Changjing Island is basically worthless to Tang Yuan. Although the natural resources of Changjing Island are indeed very good, Tang Yuan would never develop it across borders. So Tang Yuan withdrew all the people including Xiong Kai who stayed on Changjing Island last night.

In the future, Changjing Island will most likely be abandoned here as a fixed asset. If someone is willing to take it over, it will be sold. If no one is willing to take it over, it will be fine to keep it in hand for the time being. Anyway, Tang Yuan is not short of that little money.

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Kai and Yuan Meng nodded in agreement.

After leaving the deck, Tang Yuan followed the same procedure as yesterday. He first went to the restaurant to fill his stomach, then returned to the suite to take a shower and change clothes, went to the room opposite to take a look at the wooden boxes stored there, and finally took the elevator to the conference room.

The lights are still bright, the people are still crowded, and compared to yesterday, the atmosphere in the conference hall today is more lively and exciting, with all kinds of sounds mixed together, giving a feeling of a bustling market.

I saw that the wooden boxes containing the "Complete Library in Siku" were all neatly arranged together, and no one was interested in them. On the contrary, the wooden boxes containing the "Yongle Encyclopedia" were basically empty. All the books were taken out by experts from the National Museum and were undergoing emergency repair and maintenance.

Seeing this scene, Tang Yuan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that our National Museum experts are also the kind of people who get tired of the old and love the new. When the Siku Quanshu was first excavated, everyone treated it as a little treasure, but after the discovery of the Siku Quanshu, everyone immediately became Mrs. Niu."

"Mr. Tang, you really wronged them. In fact, they were just following the rules and procedures. According to the rules of our archaeological community, in an emergency, the more precious cultural relics should be rescued first. There is a rescue order."

Dong Wenhui had just rushed over and happened to hear Tang Yuan's complaints. He couldn't help but smile a little and responded with a few words.

"It's understandable. After all, the Siku Quanshu has been completely preserved in China, and all the copies of the Yongle Encyclopedia are unique copies. Moreover, in terms of archaeological value and historical significance, the Yongle Encyclopedia far surpasses the Siku Quanshu." Tang Yuan nodded and responded with a smile.

"Hey……"

Dong Wenhui sighed a little: "A total of 1579 volumes. If this news gets out, I think you, Mr. Tang, will not be able to live in peace for a short time. The historians and archaeologists in the country will definitely flock to you."

"Come on."

"I, Tang Yuan, have always been hospitable."

Tang Yuan spoke in a relaxed tone, smiling, and then continued: "Director Dong, now all the treasures have been dug out. Do you still think that the higher-ups will agree to our agreement last night?"

"This……"

Dong Wenhui hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I am also very uncertain now, because the value of this batch of treasures has far exceeded my imagination, so I have no idea what the higher-ups will decide."

"Director Dong, relax." "Don't think too much for now. The treasures haven't been counted yet. Before they are counted, let's just enjoy the sunshine and the beach."

Tang Yuan patted Dong Wenhui on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

"Ok."

Dong Wenhui thought about it and realized that he was just a messenger, so there was really no need to worry.

The two stood there and chatted for a while. Tang Yuan didn't stay too long and went back to the suite to rest.

……

A few days later, the sky was clear and the wind was calm.

On the thousand-meter-long coastline of Changjing Island, Tang Yuan was lying on a beach chair under a parasol, wearing a large pair of sunglasses on his face and a glass of freshly squeezed juice at his side.

In the distance, Xiong Kai was leading a number of security personnel to play beach volleyball. Each of the muscular men was wearing big shorts, with their upper bodies naked. If this scene fell into the eyes of those fujoshi, it would be comparable to a world famous painting.

"Hey……"

"I should have brought a girl with me earlier!"

“What a shame, such a beautiful view!”

Tang Yuan took off his sunglasses from his nose, sat up slowly, glanced at Xiong Kai and others who were playing volleyball in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with a sense of despair.

This time when Tang Yuan went out to sea, he did not choose to bring Wen Muxue, Lin Xingwan and others with him, because Tang Yuan was very clear that going abroad was a high-risk behavior and he never knew when he would encounter danger. Although Tang Yuan believed that he had enough ability to protect himself, if he really encountered such a thing, then bloodshed and death would be inevitable. For Wen Muxue and others, the psychological pressure they had to bear was too great.

Even now, so much time has passed since the London attack, but Su Xiaoxiao still often wakes up from her dreams. Every time she wakes up, she is sweating profusely and breathing heavily. It is obvious that the incident has left an indelible shadow in her heart.

There is also Lin Xingwan who was shot in Bangkok. No matter how advanced modern medical technology is, it is impossible to completely eliminate the scar. So every time when Lin Xingwan's finger touches that scar, the hail of bullets and the river of blood that night will appear in her mind. For a girl who grew up in a peacetime, the impact can be imagined.

Because of this, Tang Yuan did not bring anyone this time. The main reason was that he did not expect that the treasure hunt at sea would yield such a huge harvest, thus extending the timeline so much.

Just when Tang Yuan was feeling bored, suddenly a speedboat came rushing over from the direction of the cruise ship, creating waves. Dong Wenhui, wearing a life jacket, was sitting at the back of the speedboat, waving a notebook in his hand towards Tang Yuan.

Seeing this, Tang Yuan was delighted.

After six days, the treasure was finally counted...
