Chapter 56 The Last Game

Time was passing by bit by bit, and the entire audience fell into silence, but I don't know if it was an illusion, the audience could even clearly hear the heavy breathing of each contestant.

At this moment, no matter who it is, they all became cautious. Even Lu Tianming continued to observe carefully after dividing the three pieces of jade, and would glance at Chen Ran from time to time. put him under a lot of pressure.

The three pieces of jade that were distributed to Chen Ran made Chen Ran very depressed, none of them were real, so he would not be able to absorb the halo, but fortunately, the two contestants standing on both sides of him One of them was ancient jade, and while observing the jade in front of him, he secretly absorbed the halo of the two ancient jades.

When you want to slow down the time, the time often passes quickly. Just like that, the 10-minute time is over quickly. This time, the contestants are much smarter. In the end, if they are not selected, they are all blind One hand, what the final result will be, can only be resigned to fate.

As soon as the time came, the judges reviewed the results. There were numbers on the brocade boxes containing the jade wares, and there were records of whether they were true or false. All that was needed was to record the points of the contestants, and soon, the results appeared.

Chen Ran scored another [-] points for this level.

However, No.1 is still two side by side. Although Chen Ran has supernatural powers, Lu Tianming, as a child of a jade carving family, also has his family's method of appreciating jade. It's not that easy to tell the winner.

Chen Ran is still ranked first, which is within everyone's expectations and beyond expectations. In any case, all major jewelry companies have to treat it with caution, and they are all guessing where he came from. Act quickly. Some have even started investigating him.

And the following players are also very close. Except for No.3, which was deducted by four points and dropped by two places, the other players in the front are almost not moving.

At the end of this round, 32 players had to withdraw sadly.

"Now we will start the third game of the first half..."

With Professor Xie's announcement, another selection contest began.

There were five rounds in the first half, and each round was more difficult and more brutal. In the second round, 32 people were eliminated, and each subsequent round was no longer eliminated by number of people, but by points.

For Chen Ran, the ending naturally has no suspense, but in the fifth game, he was also dangerous and dangerous. The fifth game tested the knife skills of the jade carving masters in history, that is, each group said one The master of jade carving in history, and then the contestants selected the works of this master jade carving from a pile of ancient jade.

Chen Ran has seen few ancient jades, so he naturally doesn't know the works of these jade carvers in history. Fortunately, his ability can determine the approximate age of ancient jades.

According to the age of the jade carving master, his works can be selected.This round was obviously also the most difficult, as it knocked out most of the contestants at once.

So that when the first half ended, there were only five people left.

Of course, being eliminated does not mean that there is no chance. There is still a chance to stand up in the martial arts test, but at that time, it will only be the ranking of jade carving works.

In fact, the reason why the scale of the jade carving competition is so high this time is because the jade carving competition combined the jade carving master qualification examination with the competition. One must be able to appraise jade before one can carve jade.

After the first half, unexpectedly Chen Ran and Lu Tianming were still ranked first, and the next three were Li Baoping, Ma Jian, and Jiang Xiaotong.

The difference between Li Baoping and No.1 is only five points, and the difference between Ma Jian and Jiang Xiaotong is even more.

In the hotel of the Provincial Gymnasium, lying on the sofa, Chen Ran gently rubbed the position of his temples. He was already exhausted after using his powers non-stop for such a long time. It's only half an hour, and within this half hour, he can only recover a little bit of energy as much as possible.

After 'rubbing' his temples and drinking a cup of boiled water, Chen Ran closed his eyes, ready to squint for a while, but he wasn't worried that he would oversleep, someone would call him then.

"Mr. Chen..."

Confused, he didn't sleep for a long time, Chen Ran was awakened by the shouts, and after waking up, he stood up and opened the door.

"Mr. Chen, it's time. Please enter the venue immediately!" The young man standing at the door was the same young man who was in the hall at the beginning. At this moment, his attitude towards Chen Ran was naturally different. It was also full of smiles.

Looking at Chen Ran, the young man was filled with emotion. At the beginning, he looked at Chen Ran's rusticity, so he would not pay attention to it, but now he knows that as soon as the competition is over, there will be many big companies vying for it. The one who tried to win Chen Ran over was that when he went downstairs just now, he saw a lot of company managers and the like who wanted to sneak in to grab the first move, but they were stopped by the security guards.

"Wait a minute, I'll wash my face!" Chen Ran nodded, then turned and left, and the young man also turned to call the other four contestants.

Even though he only squinted for a short while, Chen Ran also felt that his energy was much better, but he felt that his head was a little swollen, and it would be better after washing his face.When he stepped out of the door, a person just walked out of the door opposite him.

This person is Lu Tianming.

"Chen Ran, so you and my brother Yun are classmates!" Seeing Chen Ran's suspicious expression, Lu Tianming smiled and said, "You won't give my brother Yun Forget it, I heard from him that he is still your roommate, you seem to have a good relationship, haha."

Although Lu Tianming is confident that he will not lose to Chen Ran, but at this moment, he has to be cautious. In just a short while, he has already 'found' Chen Ran's details, but he did not expect that it was his cousin Zhou Jianyun. His college roommate, just now, he called Zhou Jianyun.

Zhou Jianyun gritted his teeth in hatred for Chen Ran, how could he not reveal Chen Ran's details, if he was not locked up at home now, he would come over to clean up Chen Ran himself.

It was only then that Chen Ran knew who he was talking about. Originally, he had no ill intentions towards Lu Tianming, but after hearing what the other party said, he immediately put Lu Tianming and Zhou Jianyun together, but he didn't say anything, just Glancing at Lu Tianming, he turned around and left.

At this time, several other contestants came out of the room one after another, and greeted Lu Tianming with familiar smiles. Although they were competitors, they would not show it on the surface.

"Brother Ming, you have to work hard. You can't lose to a half-way monk. I thought he was such a great guy. It turns out that he is a poor boy from Ye Luzi!"

Ma Jian ran to Lu Tianming's side, glanced at Chen Ran, and said in a loud voice.

At this time, they almost all knew the details of Chen Ran. For those jade carvers who were born in famous teachers or families, they naturally looked down on Chen Ran who came from such a wild way. They also knew the details of Chen Ran, so they didn't care about Chen Ran at all. Suddenly heard his sneer.

Lu Tianming sneered, and said disdainfully: "Just rely on him? I really didn't pay attention to him. Let's see how I win him next. Hey, I'm afraid that if he loses, he will say that we bullied him, haha... "

Everyone laughed loudly, their tone full of sarcasm.

With the end of the intermission, the second half finally started, and now there are only five players left. Five players, Lu Tianming, as the number one jade carving family in the Central Plains, is undoubtedly the one with the highest voice.

Although the following Chen Ran appeared as a miracle like a dark horse, in fact, his voice was the lowest at this time, because everyone basically took advantage of the intermission to 'find out' his details, and even Many big companies have found the jade that Chen Ran once carved.

At first glance, this jade is ordinary, and it can barely make do with the jade carved by a first-level jade carver, but it is basically impossible to win the final victory of the competition with a first-level jade carver, but Chen Ran's performance in the competition made them have to be cautious again. Even if Chen Ran was not good at carving, he was definitely almost an expert in jade appreciation.

Although the remaining Ma Jian and others are ranked behind No.1, their scores are not much different. In addition, they are either from famous families or major companies.

It has to be said that although there are only the last five people, it is still a battle between dragons and tigers.

The eliminated contestants had already left the field, and now only five of them, Chen Ran, stood in the field. Chen Ran stood quietly, and Lu Tianming also stood like this, but his eyes glanced at Chen Ran from time to time, with a hint of a sneer on his face. Before, he had already learned the test rules for the second half, and he was fully confident that he would be able to shake off this guy who was born in a wild way.

For him, it was a very shameful thing for a poor boy who came out of nowhere to be tied with him for the first place.

"The second half of the game is now officially started!" This time, the old man Wang personally presided over it. He glanced at the players and said with a smile: "Let me talk about the rules. In fact, there is only one game in the second half, that is, a game to determine the outcome , is still the long table in front of you. There are 72 pieces of jade on each of the long tables. Among the 72 pieces of jade, only one is ancient jade, and the others are new jade or high-quality antique jade. What you have to do now is to find It takes three to ten minutes to produce this piece of ancient jade, fifteen points will be added to those who pass the test, and ten points will be deducted from those who do not pass the test."

At first glance, this level seems to be nothing new compared to the five games in the first half, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know how difficult it is. The 72 pieces of jade can be described as dazzling.

Pendants, jade pendants, jade biscuits, jade dragons, bracelets, jade cups, ornaments, big and small, of various colors, almost everything, even from every dynasty, and since these jade wares are made As a test, almost all of them can be regarded as fake.

These high imitation jade wares were also accumulated by the Jade Association over the years, and some were even borrowed from other provinces.

Everything seems to be true.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are 72 pieces of jade, but the time is only 10 minutes, which means that in 1 minute, at least two pieces of jade must be identified.

The identification of jade wares is also the most difficult, and many times it is somewhat specious, especially some jade wares are made of materials that are not carved from real jade at all, or they are filled with inferior ones, etc., which can be said to be varied.

However, the five players who were able to go all the way to this point were obviously not vegetarians. Except for Chen Ran, which one of the four players had not cultivated their foresight since childhood.

The competition has just started, even Lu Tianming, who is extremely conceited, dare not neglect, move both hands together, pinch left, touch right, smell it, or pick up a magnifying glass to look at it, frown occasionally, and sometimes solve doubts ', other players are no exception.

Even Chen Ran, although on the surface, he still seemed to be so slow, but in fact he did not dare to act like before. This was mainly because there were too many 72 pieces of jade, but the time was only 10 minutes, so there was a delay. no.

After the competition started, he focused his attention on the first jade article. This jade article is a small and exquisite jade turtle. The jade turtle is only two or three centimeters long and wide, and contains blood. ancient jade.

With the popularity of collecting, the methods of counterfeiting ancient jade are also very complicated. There are almost special counterfeiting methods for all kinds of colors, and the skillful ones are almost the same as the real ones. It is normal for the master of jade to miss. things.

Not long after Chen Ran stared at the jade tortoise with all his attention, a halo of light shot out between his brows and landed on the jade tortoise.

As a result, Yugui didn't respond at all.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ran focused his attention on the next piece, which was a jade bib from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and the light circle moved along with it, and set it on the jade bib.

In the end, there was still no reaction... The next one... The next one... The next one... Chen Ran was immersed in it without knowing it!

The time passed by every minute and every second, and as the time was about to end, the atmosphere in the whole venue became more and more tense. The audience who had said this in a low voice couldn't help but shut their mouths at this moment, even on purpose. He restrained his breathing, as if he was afraid of disturbing the five people present.
