The world of film and television begins from childhood

Han Chunming raised his head and asked in astonishment: "You don't understand?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Han Chunming was speechless: "Didn't you say before that you were interested in old things? If you are interested, how could you not understand?"

Zhou Chen retorted: "You are still interested in Su Meng, but do you understand her?"

Han Chunming was choked up for a moment and muttered, "How can this be the same? Besides, who said I don't understand Su Meng? I understand her very well."

"Okay, you understand, you understand, stop comparing, just tell me, how do you see this thing?"

"Brother, are you kidding me? Can I explain this thing clearly in just a few words?"

Han Chunming was confused by Zhou Chen, but he felt relieved in his heart, because if Zhou Chen didn't understand, then he wouldn't have to worry about the treasure being snatched away by Zhou Chen.

'Well, if I find something good, I can give some to him. That way I don't have to pay him back. Perfect.'

As he thought about it, he smiled and said casually: "If you are interested, take a look at it. If it's too troublesome, just sit there and wait. If I find something good, I'll let you study it."

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Zhou Chen, but began to study each coin seriously.

Zhou Chen was naturally not idle either. He really didn't know how to identify it, but he still picked up the copper coin and looked at it carefully.

He didn't know the value of the copper coin, but he knew how to read, so even ancient Chinese and traditional Chinese characters were no big deal to him.

After looking at dozens of copper coins, Zhou Chen discovered that most of the copper coins here were from the Qing Dynasty, some were from the Ming Dynasty, and no coins from other dynasties were seen yet.

It is indeed as Han Chunming said, most of these copper coins are rusted, and it is obvious at a glance that they have not been well maintained.

It was almost noon, and Zhou Chen saw that Han Chunming didn't move at all. He was still studying the coin very seriously, looking at it repeatedly, and wiping it from time to time before looking at it again.

Helplessly, he could only put down the copper coins in his hand and go to the kitchen to cook. In the past, others served him, but now, he had to cook for Han Chunming.

Han Chunming was completely unaware of Zhou Chen's departure. He was now completely immersed in the sea of ​​copper coins.

An hour later, Zhou Chen brought the food to the table and saw Han Chunming still studying there, so he shouted.

"Chun Ming."

"what?"

"Stop it, go wash your hands quickly, come over to eat, and then study after dinner."

When Han Chunming saw that Zhou Chen had even prepared the meal, he realized that it was already noon.

"it is good."

Han Chunming really has no image at all when he eats.

"Zhou Chen, your cooking is only slightly worse than my mother's, but you've been eating meat for two consecutive days and cooking so much meat is too extravagant."

"I can't stop you from talking even when I'm eating."

Zhou Chen asked: "I saw you spent two or three hours and only read a little bit. At your speed, it would take you several days to read the whole thing, right?"

Han Chunming said: "This is called fine work. In our line of work, we are not afraid of wasting our efforts, but we are afraid of making mistakes. If we make a mistake and lose the good stuff, it would be a big loss, right?"

In fact, the most important thing is to be cautious. Although he has been learning from Grandpa Guan since he was a child and his level is quite good, he is still young after all.

At least when it comes to copper coins, he can't guarantee that he won't make a mistake, so he naturally has to look carefully, compare carefully, and study carefully.

That’s right, Zhou Chen also agrees.

For those who collect antiques, finding a bargain is definitely the most joyful thing, and making a mistake, even if it is not a shame, will make you feel very bad.

To identify antiques, knowledge is one thing, and another is to be rigorous and serious.

"After looking for several hours, have you picked out any good treasures?"

In fact, Zhou Chen has thought about it carefully these days. What is the saying about antiques? When he really becomes a top rich man, he will definitely not be short of them. The worst that can happen is that he can just spend money to buy them.

Based on his understanding of the system, he can tell that the final rewards will definitely be different if the tasks are completed using different methods.

If the treasures he collected were precious enough, then the reward he would get after completing the task would definitely be richer than collecting ordinary antiques.

Therefore, if conditions permit, he feels that it would be more beneficial for him to collect more and more precious treasures.

So if the antiques he obtained through bargain hunting were compared with the antiques that he bought at a huge price and had been authenticated, would the final reward be different?

Although all this was just his guess, Zhou Chen felt that this possibility was very high.

If he were the system, he would definitely be more inclined to use his own abilities to pick up valuable treasures and get richer rewards.

This is also the reason why he wants to go to university to study archaeology in the future, so that he can improve his identification skills in this world.

Han Chunming pointed to where he had just been and said, "Look, I just divided the copper coins I looked at into three parts. One part I think has no value; another part may be valuable, and I need to identify it a second and third time; the last part is something I am not sure about, so I need to study it further. If I can't find any answer, I will have to ask my elders for help."

"Are you planning to appraise it a third time? With so many copper coins, can you handle it?"

In just half a day, I only looked at less than one-tenth of it. Although most of it was of little value, there were also quite a few parts that needed to be re-identified.

If you follow this method and finish reading all of them, it will take at least several days, or even longer.

Han Chunming said: "This is also because I am not particularly good at copper coins, so it is so slow. If it were my master, he might be able to get it done within a day."

Zhou Chen didn't ask him why he didn't go to find his master. Those collectors, when they come across a treasure, will definitely keep it for themselves first. This is not a question of filial piety, but a common human nature.

It’s like someone who likes to collect Ultraman. If you have a limited edition Ultraman and your dad happens to like it, would you easily give it to your dad?

Han Chunming had similar thoughts, and he also wanted to find a good treasure and then show it off to his master.

Chapter 640: The Treasure Mother Carving, System Treasure Appraisal, Master Guan

Han Chunming ate his meal in a hurry and then started to get busy again.

Zhou Chen looked at it for a while and felt that he could not help much, so he walked to the pile of copper coins that Han Chunming determined to be worthless.

"Are these copper coins useless?"

Han Chunming replied: "Most of these are badly damaged. The others are just ordinary copper coins, not worth much. I'll give them all to you. You can keep them as a souvenir or sell them for copper."

"You really don't want it anymore?"

"Really, it's useless."

Han Chunming didn't even raise his head, and continued to pick up a copper coin and look at it.

Zhou Chen put on his gloves again and fiddled with the pile of useless copper coins. Indeed, as Han Chunming said, these copper coins were basically rusted. Many of them were of the same style, from the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the Ming Dynasty.

He picked up a few copper coins, looked at them for a few seconds, and was about to throw them away. However, the moment he threw them, the silent system suddenly reacted, causing his expression to change suddenly.

"what happened?"

Zhou Chen immersed his mind in the system panel and soon discovered that something strange had happened to the task section of the system panel.

I saw several lines of words suddenly appear in the section about side quests.

Side tasks:

Collector Master: Please collect antiques from the five major dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing. The number of antiques from each dynasty is ten. The categories cannot be the same and they must have a certain value. The specific value reference is subject to the system judgment.

Collected:

Tang Dynasty: 0;

Song Dynasty: 0;

Yuan Dynasty: 0;

Ming Dynasty: 0;

Qing Dynasty: 1 (Xianfeng Baoquan Dangwubai carved brass mother);

"Is this a mother sculpture? Or is it a precious copper coin recognized by the system?"

Zhou Chen didn't know how precious the copper coins were, but the sudden change in the system made him immediately realize that one of the copper coins in his hand was a treasure.

Without time to think about it, he immediately put the coins in front of his eyes and examined them carefully.

There are four copper coins in his hand, two of which are from the Guangxu period. One is so rusty that the words on it can no longer be seen. The remaining one also has traces of rust, but it looks okay. The front side has the words "Xianfeng Yuanbao" written on it. The back is a little blurry, but the words "Five Hundred and Two" can still be seen.

"Could this be it?"

Zhou Chen put down the other three copper coins, and then looked at the Xianfeng Yuanbao carefully. Is this the carved mother that the system mentioned?

He didn't know much about copper coins, but he knew what the so-called carved mother coin meant. The carved mother coin was the ancestral coin, which was also the coin mold used for casting coins.

There are very few carved mother coins, but there are still some, but very few exist in the world. Is it because of this that this Xianfeng Baoquan Dang Wubai carved mother brass carved mother coin is recognized by the system as a valuable antique?

However, what he is most concerned about now is not this, but the sudden change in the system. Why did the system suddenly change when he held the copper coin in his hand? Does the system have an automatic treasure appraisal function?

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen's heart began to beat violently. If this was the case, wouldn't it be easy for him to complete the system's side quests?

Fortunately, he had analyzed so many possibilities before and was ready to learn treasure appraisal by his own ability. But if the system itself has this function, then there is no need to learn it specifically.

But, is this really the case?

Zhou Chen was not stunned by the sudden surprise for long, because he felt that things could not be so simple. If they were, it would not be in line with the style of the system at all.

Zhou Chen was a little confused about the changes in the system, but no matter what, this was a good thing for him. With the treasure appraisal function of the system, it would be much more convenient for him to collect antiques in the future.

At least there is a 99% chance that this side quest can be completed before the main quest is completed.

"But we still need to find a way to test this function."

Zhou Chen looked at the Xianfeng Yuanbao in his hand, thought about it, and thought of a possibility.

He placed the coin on the ground and looked at the system panel.

Then he discovered that on the side quest section of the system panel, the number 1 belonging to the Qing Dynasty had not disappeared. This meant that even if he didn't have it in his hand, as long as it belonged to him, he would be recognized by the system.

But he had helped Han Chunming take the copper coin bag before, and he was holding all the copper coins, so why didn't the system respond?

Zhou Chen suddenly thought of what Han Chunming had just said. He said that he would give him this part of useless copper coins. Could this be the reason?

In order to be recognized by the system, it must belong to him. Only when the thing is his can it be recognized and identified by the system?

After careful analysis, Zhou Chen felt that this possibility was the greatest. The system was not able to identify everything, but could only identify things that belonged to him.

It will only identify valuable antiques related to side quests, and those that are not recognized by it will not be displayed.

Just like there are so many copper coins here. He grabbed several of them just now, but only this one was identified by the system. The rest were not identified.

If this is the case, then the system would not be sure whether it is an antique before the Tang Dynasty, because the side quest is only to collect antiques from the five major dynasties, and those earlier are not within the scope of the quest.

In a short period of time, Zhou Chen thought of countless possibilities and gradually sorted out the most likely ones.

But whether it is what he guessed or not, he still needs to slowly experiment and verify it in the future.

Zhou Chen held the Xianfeng Yuanbao mother coin and shouted to Han Chunming, "Chunming, look at this copper coin. Is this the mother coin?"

Han Chunming, who was looking at the copper coins, suddenly raised his head when he heard Zhou Chen's words: "Diamond mother?"

Of course he knew what a mother coin was. What surprised him was that Zhou Chen had just said that he didn't know anything about copper coins, but now he was asking him if it was a mother coin.

He looked at the copper coin in Zhou Chen's hand and asked in surprise: "Are you sure this is the mother sculpture?"

"That should be the case. Take a look for yourself."

Zhou Chen handed the Xianfeng Yuanbao carving mother to Han Chunming, who took it carefully. If it was really a carving mother, it would be a different story. It might be much more valuable than this bag of copper coins.

"Xianfeng Yuanbao, five hundred, is it five hundred? This carving mark, this..."

The more he looked, the more solemn and serious Han Chunming's expression became. He turned the small copper coin over and over, carefully examining it several times before finally raising his head.

"This is really the mother eagle, Zhou Chen, where did you find it?"

"It was found among those useless copper coins you mentioned."

"I lost it?"

Han Chunming was stunned, and then he exclaimed: "Impossible, how could I make such a mistake? This is obviously different from ordinary copper coins. How could I make a mistake?"

Zhou Chen snatched the copper coins back from Han Chunming's hand and warned him, "Chunming, you just said that this pile of copper coins is of no use and you gave them all to me. It's too late for you to regret it now."

Han Chunming's eyes turned red as he stared at the copper coins in Zhou Chen's hand. Suddenly his expression changed, revealing flattery and fawning.

"Did I say that? I didn't, I definitely didn't. Zhou Chen, you must have misheard. Show me the mother sculpture again and I'll study it further."

But Zhou Chen stuffed it directly into his pocket and refused without hesitation: "Don't even think about it, it's mine now."

Even if it was only this one copper coin this time, he had made a huge profit. This was his first good start, so how could he possibly return it to Han Chunming.

"Zhou Chen..."
