Side tasks:

Listening to Music in Brothels: Go to brothels such as Jiaofangsi to listen to music at least one thousand times. Only one time is counted per day. Repeated visits will not be counted (completed); Reward: To be collected.

Zhou Chen has completed the main quest and two side quests.

Especially the side quest of listening to music in a brothel. In order to complete this quest, he had to go out of the palace in disguise many times. It was really too difficult.

After choosing to receive the reward, the system panel suddenly changed.

There are four more attribute points, one more skill, three plot cards, and one world card.

How to put it, the rewards for completing the three tasks were only average, not as luxurious as he expected, but the skill that was rewarded surprised Zhou Chen.

Ice Heart Secret: If your heart is as clear as ice, you won’t be startled even if the sky falls; if you are calm even if there are changes, you will be happy and peaceful…

(Note: The host has too strong murderous intent. This is a somewhat magical meditation technique. It does not kill, but it can help the host calm down his murderous intent, calm his mind, and maintain his self.)

"???"

Zhou Chen had a question mark on his face. Am I too murderous?

Well, okay, in the world of Meng Hua Lu, he is indeed murderous. More than a thousand people died at his hands. Later, in order to become emperor, he killed countless people. According to normal people's thinking, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a butcher among butchers.

The moment he saw this skill, Bing Xin Jue, he thought of a very famous comic and TV series, the mental method used by the hero Nie Feng in "Feng Yun" to suppress the mad blood, and even the formula was exactly the same.

This is such incredible luck that I got orange equipment?

But after reading the introduction in the notes, it seemed that it was not what he thought. The Ice Heart Technique was only a spell to calm the mind and did not have any lethal power.

However, Zhou Chen would not underestimate this skill. Just being able to calm murderous intent, maintain one's self, and make people peaceful and calm is not easy. If he travels to a martial arts world in the future, relying on this skill, he probably won't go astray in his practice.

"Good skills."

Zhou Chen was delighted. After traveling through Langya Bang and Meng Hualu, he was extremely sure that he would have a chance to travel to the world of martial arts in the future. So this newly acquired Bing Xin Jue skill would definitely be of great use in the future.

Needless to say, the three plot cards are all good things. After all, it is a journey through the world of film and television, and knowing the plot is more important than anything else. With the plot cards, even if he travels through time to a film or television drama he has never seen in the future, he will not be completely in the dark.

As for the newly appeared world cards, he became very interested and read the introduction carefully.

The world card, as its name suggests, allows Zhou Chen to have the power to choose to travel through the world.

Of course, this choice does not mean that Zhou Chen can travel to any world he wants, but before traveling, the system will give several film and television worlds, and then he can choose one of these worlds to travel to.

This is somewhat similar to the plot card, but the plot card can let Zhou Chen know the plot, while the world card allows Zhou Chen to have a choice and know the world he will travel to in advance.

Although it seems so simple, if he knew everything in advance, he would have more room for maneuver and could choose a world that is beneficial to him.

So in Zhou Chen's opinion, this world card is definitely of great use to him.

Chapter 1021 Daily Life, Auction

After sorting out the rewards he had received, Zhou Chen exited from the system panel.

At this time, there were already twenty or thirty people in the hall of the villa. He also found several people wearing Tang suits, some older and some middle-aged.

Zhou Chen looked at the people in the villa and found that most of them knew each other.

But this is also normal. After all, most of them are from the Jinling circle, and each of them is wealthy. They see each other every day. Even if they are not familiar with each other, there is no problem sitting together to drink tea and chat.

Especially those who come here are antique collectors, so they naturally have more topics to talk about.

Li Ruiyang has good communication skills. Zhou Chen saw him greeting many people with a smile, and everyone was very polite to him.

He had heard Li Luo talk about their family before, although he only mentioned it briefly, but he also knew that the Li family should be quite powerful, at least in Jinling, it should be quite good.

The people coming and going were all middle-aged and elderly people, so someone of Zhou Chen's age seemed a little out of place. Many people looked at Zhou Chen with a little surprise.

In the eyes of ordinary people, antique dealers are somewhat similar to Chinese medicine doctors. They both choose to trust older people. After all, this is all based on accumulated experience. In the minds of ordinary people, of course, the older the age, the richer the experience.

Also, young people nowadays are a bit impetuous and fast-paced, and the most taboo thing in the antique industry is being impatient, so very few young people are involved in this industry now.

Zhou Chen sighed. In novels, there would always be old people bringing their descendants to show the world, but why was there not a single one today? It turned out that novels were unreliable. Alas.

It was more than half an hour later when Li Ruiyang finished his circle and returned to sit next to Zhou Chen.

"Xiao Zhou, how are you? Are you used to it? Uncle will take you to meet the seniors."

Zhou Chen waved his hand quickly: "No, uncle, please don't bother me. I just came here to see the world today."

Li Ruiyang laughed dumbly: "That's right, according to what you young people say, this is called a generation gap."

He has now completely accepted Zhou Chen. Since his daughter met Zhou Chen, she has changed a lot and has become much closer to him and his wife. In addition, after several contacts with Zhou Chen, he can feel that Zhou Chen is unusual and a capable man, so he has already decided on Zhou Chen as his future son-in-law.

Originally, he wanted to take Zhou Chen to meet more people, which might be helpful for Zhou Chen's development in the future, but he changed his mind and thought there was no need to be so deliberate.

If my daughter gets married to Zhou Chen in the future, his network of contacts will also become her son-in-law's network of contacts.

"Uncle, there's no brochure or anything like that at this auction?"

"I'm not sure either. I rarely participate in auctions of this type, so I'm not sure what happened this time."

Zhou Chen nodded. He knew that people like Li Ruiyang were fat sheep in the eyes of those who dealt in antiques. It was much easier to make money from them than from professionals.

After more than an hour of arguing, the real culprit finally arrived.

I saw a group of seven or eight people coming down from the upstairs of the villa, and the people behind them were holding suitcases or password boxes in their hands.

Zhou Chen had already heard someone upstairs. He had guessed that the person upstairs was the owner of this auction, and he was right.

“Snap, snap!”

"Hello bosses, thank you for your hard work. I am the organizer of this auction, Xu San. I believe many of you know me and my reputation."

Xu San is a middle-aged man. He greeted everyone in the hall with a smile on his face. It can be seen that he is a celebrity. Many people nodded silently after hearing his words.

Li Ruiyang whispered in Zhou Chen's ear: "This Xu San is a well-known person in the industry. It is said that his ancestors were local farmers. Don't underestimate him. He is a smiling tiger."

It was said very bluntly. Zhou Chen was quite surprised. His ancestors were tomb robbers. It seemed that Xu San had some skills. I just didn't know if he was still doing it now.

There is a special earthy smell on the body of a tomb robber, but Zhou Chen was some distance away from Xu San and could not smell anything. He didn't know whether it was because he had never been a tomb robber before or because the distance was too far and he could not smell it clearly.

Xu San continued, "There aren't many items in this auction, but they are all fine pieces, and they are treasures left by our ancestors. Some of them were even brought back from abroad, so I can be considered to have contributed to the country."

Xu San seemed complacent as he spoke, but then his face turned serious again.

"Everyone knows the rules. Once the deal is done and we walk out this door, we will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"Okay, Xu San, stop talking nonsense and take out the items quickly. How can you make an offer without even knowing how to appreciate them?"

A middle-aged man sitting in the front row shouted impatiently.

Xu San replied with a smile: "Brother Zhao is still impatient. Well, I won't say much. The auction items are all here. Each person has a maximum of five minutes."

As he said this, he asked the people behind him to open the suitcase and the safe. Suddenly, the true appearance of the objects of different shapes were revealed.

When the treasure revealed its true appearance, the eyes of all the people participating in the auction were drawn to it, and some people even stood up impatiently.

"hiss!"

"Is this bronze? It's a good thing."

"It's a pleasant surprise to find calligraphy and paintings."

…………

"There are twelve pieces in total. Each person has five minutes to examine them. These treasures are very precious. Please handle them with care."

Xu San spoke again. Seeing everyone's expressions, he was also very satisfied. He had spent a lot of effort to get these twelve treasures, but they were obtained in an unofficial way, so there would be no appraisal certificate and it was difficult to get them.

Of course, he prefers this kind of private small auction to a formal auction house, where money and goods are exchanged and the return is very fast;

Although there are some risks involved, what industry can make money without taking risks? If he is really afraid of risks, he will not do this business.

Starting with the guests in the first row, each time they would take turns to check out the auction items, with a maximum of two people allowed, for five minutes.

Many people couldn't sit still when they saw the good things and couldn't wait to go and see them, but when they saw that everyone else was very well-behaved, they could only remain patient.

Zhou Chen and Li Ruiyang were sitting relatively close to the back edge, more than ten meters away from the auction items. If one's eyesight was poor, one could only get a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

At this time, Li Ruiyang took out his reading glasses, stretched his neck, and looked at those objects intently.

After looking for a long time, he took off his glasses, wiped his eyes, and lowered his voice.

"Xiao Zhou, how do you feel?"

Zhou Chen replied with a serious expression: "It's too far away, and I haven't touched it, so it's hard to say, but this Xu San is not simple. Although there are only twelve objects, there are bronzes, Song Dynasty porcelain, and the bracelet, which looks like agarwood. If they are all authentic, it would be really amazing."

They are all genuine items, which shows that Xu San is really capable. After all, this is not twenty or thirty years ago, and good things circulating on the market are now extremely scarce.

He has good eyesight and can see clearly, but he needs to get closer to handle it to confirm its authenticity.

He does have the Eye of Identification, which can easily determine the information of an item, but there is no rush now. It will not be too late to decide after he gets his hands on it.

Li Ruiyang said with great interest: "I think that bracelet is nice. If it is really made of agarwood, I can take a picture of it and give it to Xiao Luo later. I just don't know if she, a girl, will like it."

It can be seen at first glance that he is a daughter slave. Although it is something he likes, the first person he thinks of is his own daughter.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's hard to say. This agarwood bracelet is not small. We men may like it, but girls may not."

"That's true. Just like your aunt, she's not young anymore, but she still likes those jade jewelry."

Li Ruiyang rarely complained in front of Zhou Chen, but his face was full of smiles. It can be seen that although he said that, he was still very doting on his wife.

People who come here are either bosses who speculate in antiques, people who really like antiques, or collectors.

But no matter what kind of person they are, they will observe carefully after passing by, and each of them wants to stay there. Every time they have to leave only after Xu San reminds them.

When it was Zhou Chen and his friends' turn, an hour and a half had passed. Li Ruiyang was in a group with Zhou Chen. He pulled Zhou Chen and walked over with great interest.

Xu San has been observing the people here. After working in this business for so many years, he can still tell who are the real big customers and who has the ability to become his customers.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was young, he didn't find it strange. He just thought that Zhou Chen followed Li Ruiyang to broaden his horizons.

However, when he saw Zhou Chen's professional approach and observation method, his expression was slightly surprised. It turned out that this young man was much more professional than Li Ruiyang.

The first thing Zhou Chen picked up was a string of copper coins, which numbered dozens. He took a closer look and found that these copper coins were very good. They could be made into the Five Emperors' Coins and were of very good quality.

He put down the coin calmly and looked at the next object...

The five minutes passed quickly, and Li Ruiyang followed Zhou Chen back to his seat with reluctance on his face.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you think? Are they all good things?"

"good."

"What do you mean okay?"

Zhou Chen whispered, "If Uncle Li is interested, you can try to buy the bracelet and porcelain tea set."

Li Ruiyang was shocked: "Good stuff?"

"The bracelet is indeed made of agarwood, of good quality and very old. If the price is right, it's worth buying. As for the tea set."

At this point, he leaned close to Li Ruiyang's ear and whispered, "From the official kiln."

Li Ruiyang's face suddenly changed and he almost screamed out loud, but he finally managed to stop the impulse.

"Sure?"

"determine."

Zhou Chen was very confident about porcelain. The tea set was indeed from the official kiln. Although it was not a particularly fine product, it was still very valuable in that era.

Li Ruiyang looked excited. Porcelain from the official kiln was extremely rare, which made him very excited.

Just then, an old man sitting in front of Zhou Chen and the others turned his head.

"Young man, are you interested in that tea set as well?"

The old man's sudden interruption made Li Ruiyang's face change. He didn't know this old man, but he just heard someone mention that this old man was an insider, but he was not from Jinling, but from the capital.
