“Of course! I’m a graduate student in the Department of Archaeology at UCLA. But doesn’t it matter if you read it without even wearing gloves? You know that the parchment books of thousands of years are very fragile, and a little carelessness may cause irreparable Damage.”

This young girl is obviously very interested in the things in her professional field, and her eyes have been fixed on the cover of the ancient parchment book.

Zhang Cheng shrugged with a smile: “It’s okay! Anyway, what I am interested in is only the text and knowledge recorded in it. As for whether the book will be damaged by this, then it is not a question of my concern.”

“God! Do you know how much an ancient Manichae parchment book from the Middle Ages is worth? Even if the reserve price is hundreds of thousands or even several millions of dollars! Even if you don’t cherish these precious cultural relics, At least you should cherish your banknotes.” The girl reminded the girl in an angry rolled the eyes.

Be aware that just a few words ago, the edge of the book page under the parchment has begun to fall, making her feel distressed.

After all, among all antiques and cultural relics, books and texts that are difficult to preserve are often the rarest, and they are also evidence that can provide a large number of reliable evidence for archaeological research.

“The trifling is only a few million dollars, do you think I care?” Zhang Cheng asked as he flipped through it quickly, without raising his head.

Undoubtedly, his current state of mind is quite relaxed, so he will have a chat with each other without a word, and enjoy this ordinary peaceful leisure time.

“Sheet!” The female graduate student wearing glasses finally couldn’t help but explode.

Being choked several times in a row, no matter how good her temper, she couldn’t help but get angry.

“hahahaha! Just kidding, don’t be angry.” Seeing a hint of anger on the opponent’s face, Zhang Cheng finally showed a mischievous laugh and passed the ancient book he had finished reading. “Give it to you, as if I apologized for my rudeness just now.”

“Give it to me? You don’t think you have any bad thoughts about me, right!” Girl subconsciously He covered his chest, his eyes filled with alertness.

“Please! Young Lady! Even if I have a plan, at least I will find a beautiful woman who looks beautiful and has a curvaceous body like a supermodel. You are still a little short of this standard.” Zhang Cheng ruthless Shattered the poor self-esteem of the other party.

The girl who flew into a rage out of humiliation flushed immediately, straightened up her breasts, and retorted loudly: “What’s wrong with me?! Tell you! At least how many I am in school Ten people are chasing!”

“So you want me to have an attempt against you?” Zhang Cheng touched the chin with great interest and looked up and down the sensitive parts of the other’s body.

“no! No! Damn! I almost fell on you!”

After all, she was highly educated. This young girl just fell into the language trap for less than a few seconds Zhong quickly woke up and regained his composure.

Aware of this, Zhang Cheng couldn’t help but teased with a smile: “Look, your women’s hearts are always accompanied by two extreme contradictions. On the one hand, they hope that they are full of charm, and it is best to attract everyone of the opposite sex. On the other hand, I worry about being hurt. I always protect myself with an attitude that refuses to be beyond a thousand li. Remember what I just said? Think about it, all the answers are in it. .”

tone barely fell!

A waiter brought a large dinner plate and brought up a dozen dishes in one go.

After carefully checking that there is nothing in the dishes that he hates, he then actively invited: “If I guessed correctly, you don’t seem to have time to order, do you? If you don’t mind. , Let’s have some together, I’ll treat you.”

“Have you always believed oneself infallible?” The girl raised her chin slightly, her tone revealing unabashed sarcasm.

“no! I used to be very humble and cautious, and I would never offend anyone easily if not necessary. However, some changes happened later, I suddenly felt that being too low-key is not a good thing, it will Let a lot of act recklessly flies and bugs keep circling you. In many cases, showing offensive appropriately can save you a lot of trouble. In addition, I sincerely recommend eating together, otherwise within 45 minutes, even if you order , The kitchen can’t be delivered so quickly.”

After that, Zhang Cheng picked up a honey-glazed roasted chicken leg and put it on his plate, and started to gnaw with keen interest pleasure.

The girl turned around and glanced at the crowded scene in the restaurant, bit her lower lip and hesitated for a while, then picked up a chicken roll and stuffed it into her mouth, and ate it.

Although there are many dishes, the total amount is not large. Two people will wipe out all the delicacies in a short while.

After eating the last grilled shrimp, Zhang Cheng picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth, directly put the banknotes including the tip on the table, and walked outside with the old suitcase.

Before he walked 50 meters away, he heard a female graduate student shouting behind him: “Hey! Wait! You forgot something!”

The girl held up the ancient parchment book and chased it out gasping for breath.

“No, that’s not mine, but yours. Did you forget that I gave it to you just now?” Zhang Cheng stopped shook the head of faint smile.

“Really give it to me? According to the content recorded in this book, the auction can sell for at least $5,000,000 or more. If it is good luck, it is not impossible to sell it to 10-20 million.”

The girl has probably seen the descriptions and interpretations of the ancient Era Semitic Human Demon ceremony in Manichaeism, and understands the great value contained in this book, plus many rich people’s understanding of magic , The obsession with supernatural power, even if it is sold at a sky-high price, it is reasonable.

“Yes, I gave it to you. But I suggest you don’t be too addicted to it. Some things are beyond your control. Oh, yes, to be safe, I should keep it for you A phone call. If your life is threatened one day, remember to call me and I can provide protection.”

As the last word blurted out, a note with the phone number appeared out of thin air in the palm of the girl’s hand.

Waiting for her to lift the head again, she found that Zhang Cheng had disappeared without a trace, as if she had never appeared before.

“God! I shouldn’t have encountered some supernatural event, am I?”

The female graduate student shivered subconsciously. Fortunately, it was midday and the warm sun quickly Dispelled the uneasiness and fear in the subconscious.

After stuffing the note with the phone number into her jeans pocket, she immediately got into a dilapidated second-hand car and drove straight to the University of California, Los Angeles.

She is full of excitement in her heart. Impatient wants to let her mentor take a look at the contents of the book, and by the way do a comprehensive test.

If this book is not a forgery, then she might take the opportunity to publish several influential academic papers to establish her position in the archaeological circle, and no longer need to post graduation Worry about finding a job…
