Chapter 396 The Last Battle

Seeing that Sima Haotian insisted on continuing, Qin Yali knew that there was no point in talking, so she brought the box in front of him.

Sima Haotian reached out and took out a ball. Qin Yali peeled off the ball and took out the note inside, then pointed at the camera and said, "The fifth competition is a question from the Wandao Museum, called 'Bronze Years'."

The rules of the Bronze Years Competition are as follows. A total of 130 and eight bronze wares were exhibited, three of which were fakes.The contestant who first correctly picks out two fake bronze pieces will win the final victory.

This competition tests the identification of bronzes. Bronze ware is known as a national weapon. It has been a national treasure since the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Because of its special status, every bronze ware unearthed during the Yin, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods is a national treasure. .

In foreign museums, bronze wares are also the treasures of town halls, and they represent the highest wisdom of ancient civilizations.

"Is there anything the two contestants don't understand?"

Qin Yali asked a question according to the usual practice.

"No."

The two replied almost at the same time.

"Then please."

Under the leadership of the staff, the two contestants entered the bronze ware exhibition hall. The simple and elegant bronze statues seemed to be telling the history of mankind. To Li Mo, choosing three fakes out of the eight bronze pieces was simple and difficult, but also very difficult.

Bronze appraisal is his shortcoming, and he rarely has the opportunity to personally appraise it, so it is very difficult.It's easy to say, if you look at it with different pupils, it's immediately clear whether it's true or false.

"Mr. Li, in this competition, if you use the fastest time to select three fakes, how long will it take?"

Li Mo turned to look at him and asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"According to your time, I will consider whether to admit defeat directly. At this stage of the game, I have already realized very clearly that with your ability to identify treasures, I am far from being an opponent."

Sima Haotian's condition has become extremely bad, and there is a trace of pleading in his eyes, as if he wants to end the next battle early.

The people watching the live broadcast were all waiting for Li Mo's answer. The domestic people all looked relaxed, smiling and talking in low voices.The faces of the others were gloomy, and some of them even showed panic on their faces, with despair in their eyes, as if they were waiting for the final punishment.

"You wait."

Li Mo looked from the first piece of bronze, his footsteps did not stop, walking forward at a constant speed.

"Six pieces of No. 20, the wine bottle is a fake."

"Nine pieces of No. 70, the tripod tripod is a fake."

"Piece 120, Sifang Ding is a fake."

After Li Mo identified this one, he had found all three fakes, and there was no need to continue with the rest. He turned around and walked to Sima Haotian's side and asked, "How long did it take?"

"Less than 3 minutes." Sima Haotian looked at Qin Yali, "Please announce the result?"

Qin Yali felt that the two games were too casual, they would end in a few minutes.

She walked to the wall and revealed the answer under the high-definition camera.

Three numbers are exactly right.

Sima Haotian stared blankly at the answer on the wall, his throat moved, and suddenly he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Sima, come quickly."

The competition site was also equipped with doctors, and after ten seconds or so, three people rushed in and began to conduct emergency checks on Sima Haotian.

"It's over, it's over."

In the conference room, an expert from the Wandao Museum slumped to the ground, breaking down and crying.

"The treasures of the town hall in the museum are gone, all gone."

"Those bastards who killed thousands of knives have ruined us, and all the treasures of the museum have been ruined."

"The family business left by the ancestors has been ruined."

The other experts felt the same way. When they saw Sima Haotian vomit blood and fell to the ground, they immediately felt that the sky was dark, and everyone's mentality collapsed.

The domestic expert group, which was quite happy at first, lost face when they saw the colleagues on the opposite side crying and shouting regardless of their identities.

"Did Li Mo act too hard this time?"

whispered an expert.

"How arrogant I was before, how miserable I am now. It's not because Li Mo is ruthless, it's because Sima Haotian is too weak." Another expert curled his lips, but seeing the five or sixty-year-old Wan Dao Expert, I still can't bear it.

The Bay Island Museum has lost five games in a row, and now even the players vomit blood and faint. Judging from the current trend, it doesn't matter whether the sixth match can go on, because even if it goes to the Bay Island Museum, there is no chance of winning.

According to the agreement between the two parties, if one party fails to arrive at the scene on time, the competition will automatically give up by default at the beginning of the competition.

So the five competitions are over, and the final outcome is also predetermined in advance.

After being rescued by the on-site doctors, although Sima Haotian had come to his senses, his condition was still very bad, so he was sent to the hospital for detailed examination and treatment.

Li Mo sat on the lounge chair, drinking black tea silently.

"Little Mo, we are sure to win this competition. We just need to wait until the sixth round. If Sima Haotian hasn't appeared yet, then I can directly announce the final result."

Li Mo didn't speak.

"Little Mo, what are you thinking about?"

Li Mo put down his teacup and sighed, "I just think it's a pity that Sima Haotian was used as a gunman. His ability is enough to last an era."

"He is from Huaxia, but his heart is not here, so it doesn't matter how powerful he is. Xiaomo, we can't change the past, but we can change the future. More than half of the national treasures transported from Wandao this time It was made by the forces behind it, the greater the risk, the greater the reward, this is the rule of the game they believe in. If we lose this time, our loss will be more than ten times that of the Bay Island Museum.”

Li Mo drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then leaned on the lounge chair and closed his eyes to rest.

He can't control many things, because he hasn't reached that level yet.So he decided to stay at school or at home honestly from tomorrow on.

"You take a rest first, let's see how Sima Haotian is doing?"

Seeing that he was also looking tired, Qin Yali winked at the staff member, who took out a clean thin quilt from the cabinet and gently covered him, and then the two walked out of the room to sleep lightly.

Li Mo fell asleep in a daze. He was woken up by Qin Yali. It was past seven o'clock in the evening.

"Aunt Qin, I've been asleep for a long time, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"Anyway, that Sima Haotian is no longer capable of competing in the sixth round, so I will let you sleep a little longer."

Li Mo rubbed his temples and asked, "Is the situation serious?"

"Yes, an old Chinese doctor showed him that he needs to stay in bed for a while. But..."

Qin Yali hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Aunt Qin, if you have anything you want to say, you can just say it, but what?"

"However, Wandao is playing tricks and saying that they didn't deliberately not participate in the sixth match, but that the players were unable to attend due to physical reasons. This is an accident."

Li Mo's eyes showed a bit of sharpness, and he sneered: "They can argue whatever they want, and I don't bother to talk to them."

"The Bay Island expert group said they were dissatisfied with you, so they said that if you can accept their challenge, they are willing to pay a certain price."

This is a bit interesting, Sima Haotian fell, and they still wanted to die, but after thinking about it, there are still good things that have not been taken out of the Wandao Museum.

"I need to know the content of the challenge first, or if they ask me to fly to the sun, wouldn't I have to vomit blood as well?"

Qin Yali smiled and said: "That's not the case. The questions they asked are in the content of this ten-item competition, called the last battle. It was originally intended for you to identify the authenticity of a bronze ware, but now it is their challenge. Your last battle, will you take it?"

To identify the authenticity of bronze ware?

Are they going to bring their heads together to behead themselves?
"Is there a trap?" Qin Yali asked uncertainly.

"The fifth competition is to find three fakes out of 130 eight bronze wares. Do you think they will ask another question like this? The rules of the competition in the final battle are definitely not a simple identification of authenticity. There must be more stringent rules. It's almost impossible to complete." Li Mo sneered a few times, "Besides, if I lose, who will take the next challenge? Am I foolishly playing with them alone?"

"But they won't stand a chance."

Li Mo's tone was full of absolute confidence and domineering.

"Aunt Qin, I have only one request. They must produce the juan copies of Castiglione's "Ten Handsome Dogs" and "Hundred Horses", and they are not allowed to make any other requests. If we don't agree, we will follow the rules. A press conference will be held overnight tonight to announce the results of today's competition to the whole world."

"Okay, I'll convey your meaning right away."

About 15 minutes later, Qin Yali and two staff members came in, and after some operations, a video call appeared on the TV.

"Li Mo, the experts on the Bay Island want to negotiate directly with you."

Qin Yali stood aside as soon as she was reminded. After she conveyed Li Mo's words, the meeting room almost turned upside down.

"Hello, Mr. Li, we cannot agree to your request." An expert wearing glasses said in a deep voice.

"Of course you can't agree, because you have no power at all, and you don't have the qualifications. Apart from being shameless, I really don't see anything worthy of my admiration in you."

Li Mo even taunted them unceremoniously, without connecting them with the status of experts at all.Before, they shouted fiercely, but now they are even more open and honest, and they don't have the courage to continue to suffer failure.

"you you…"

"Don't worry about it. If you have the courage to fight, we will continue. If you don't have the courage, just wait for the plane to go home. Don't waste my time anymore. I have the lawyers and the media ready to release it at any time. Yes, announce the result."

"Li Mo, you are too arrogant!"

A gray-haired expert slapped the table and shouted.

"Can I be as arrogant as you were before?" Li Mo sneered.

"Everyone be quiet." At this time, another expert stopped the people on his side from being impulsive, and then looked at Li Mo through the screen and said, "Mr. Li, I am the leader of the working group. I can agree to your request. But I can only take out three of Castiglione's "Ten Handsome Dogs" and "Hundred Horses". You should also know the value of these ancient paintings. If I directly submit this application, the above will not agree Yes, so you should give the above irrefutable reasons."

It seems that there are still some people in the expert group who keep a clear mind. Li Mo thought for a while and said: "Except for the five private pieces in the Bay Island Museum, I can take out the remaining five pieces. I lost, and the five pieces Take it back with you. On the contrary, Castiglione’s works are my trophies. If you agree, the lawyer team will sign a contract with all of you. If you don’t agree, we don’t need to communicate anymore. I’ll give you half an hour to think about it, and I’ll eat first. "

After speaking, Li Mo asked the staff to disconnect the connection, and then began to eat the meals that had been prepared a long time ago, which were still hot in the incubator.

"Xiao Mo, the Wandao Museum took out three of Castiglione's pictures of handsome dogs. If you win, you will just make up the real "Ten Handsome Dogs". If you kill them, I'm afraid they won't think that the other seven pictures of handsome dogs are in front of you." hands." Qin Yali opened the lid of the soup bowl, "Egg and Mushroom Soup."

"Thank you!"

Not half an hour later, lawyer Zhu Mingcheng opened the door and walked in, respectfully said: "Mr. Li, everything has been done. They said that if it is convenient for you now, please go to the scene and announce the specific rules of the 'last battle'." .”

Li Mo took two mouthfuls of soup, put down his chopsticks and said, "Let's go."

The sixth competition event is called the final battle, and naturally it is also the final battle between the two sides.

A total of twelve members of the Bay Island expert team have arrived at the scene.For young people like Li Mo, they both hate and fear. This time, the Bay Island Museum will become a complete joke.

They will naturally become the target of public criticism, and the only way to win back a little face for themselves is to win in the final battle.

Otherwise, they would have no face to go back.

"There is no live broadcast of this competition. It is our private battle. Mr. Li, let's go straight to the topic. The rule of this final battle is that we bring a bronze ware, and you need to identify its authenticity. If it is real , then identify the approximate age. If it is false, please give the exact evidence."

Qin Yali frowned slightly, there was indeed a trap.

There was no change on Li Mo's face. He looked at a bronze vessel covered by a red scarf on the table in front of him, walked over and said, "Let's begin."

The team leader lifted the veil himself, revealing the true face of the bronze vessel inside.From the perspective of shape, it is round and covered, like a storage container, which may store wine or food.

The overall height is about [-] centimeters, the waist diameter is about [-] centimeters, the surface has complex casting patterns, and it is covered with iron red and patina. It is very open to look at this way, because the red and green rust is relatively evenly distributed, more natural, and looks like an authentic product.

After Li Mo looked at it for a few minutes, he looked through his eyes with different pupils, and there were several kinds of halos on the surface of a bronze vessel, the blue of the Ming Dynasty, the gray of the Qing Dynasty, and the clear light belonging to modern handicrafts. A hybrid, and a true bronze finish are two concepts.

"Mr. Li, do you have an answer?"

The team leader at Bay Island asked calmly.

"fake."

Li Mo clapped his hands and said with a little disgust.

"Is there any evidence?"

An expert from the Bay Island Museum couldn't help jumping out and asking.

　I'm sorry, I've been groggy for the past few days. I still couldn't resist yesterday. I went to the hospital to get water, and I didn't recover until the middle of the night. I will make up for what I lack as soon as possible.
