You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

Zhou Ming slowly put down his phone.

This statement neither acknowledges nor denies the merit; it's more like a tacit agreement.

Sure enough, his words caused an uproar in the group chat:

"Look! Our Ming Dynasty is made for people who accomplish great things! They remain unperturbed by honor or disgrace!"

"It's good to be busy! It's good to be busy! There must be some important work to do again!"

"I won't bother Daming any longer, you go about your business! Uncle, let's discuss when to go to Shanshui Manor!"

……

Zhou Ming's mother was overjoyed and started making a lot of noise in the group chat, like she was on Versailles:

"Oh dear, I told you, it's nothing!"

"If you ask me, those relatives from Qijia Village aren't anything special. In front of our Great Ming Dynasty, they still have to give us face, don't they?"

"Our Great Ming is the direct descendant of the Han Great Clan! They're destined for great things! These small favors are nothing to them!"

. . .

"call--"

Back in the future, Shen Wang stretched and took a deep breath.

"I really miss that smell of PM2.5 levels off the charts!"

I spent four or five days there, and only half a day here.

Suddenly, Shen Wang realized something.

"Brother Tongzi, am I getting old prematurely?"

With such a huge difference in the rate of time flow, Shen Wang was worried that he would age too quickly.

【…Host, guess why there's a constitution section?】

"Well……"

Shen Wang was speechless.

He had been puzzled before that a wartime military merit system would have a fantasy-type option like "physical constitution".

So this was all to deal with this situation?

"So, if I improve my physical condition, I'll live longer?"

That's right!

Now, Shen Wang was completely excited.

Since being bound to the system, Shen Wang felt that his money and status would definitely increase and rise higher and higher!

Once a person has money and status, what they pursue next is nothing more than life itself!

"Haha, good, good, good!"

After the excitement subsided, Shen Wang went to the bathroom to wash up and then changed into clean clothes.

Then he picked up his phone, ready to contact Xin Quan to dispose of the box of antiques and jewelry.

However, as soon as Shen Wang picked up his phone and saw the long string of messages in the family group chat, his expression instantly turned strange.

"You're out so quickly, little brother? Secretary Bai is awesome!"

Without a doubt, it must be Secretary Bai's doing.

As for his cousin Zhou Ming's ambiguous remark, Shen Wang simply smiled.

We're all family, there's no need to show off to your own family.

Actually, my older cousin is a good person; he takes good care of his younger cousins.

The only downside is that he's a bit preachy, which I don't know if it's because he was a counselor at university.

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll see if I can put in a good word for my cousin..."

However, it's a bit ungrateful to ask Secretary Bai for help so soon after asking her for help again.

We can only wait and see in a while.

Next, Shen Wang opened Xin Quan's WeChat, took a few photos of the antiques, and sent them over.

Less than a minute later, the other side replied.

"Brother, wait for me! I'll take the next flight right away!"

……

A few hours later, Xin Quan and his assistant appeared at Shen Wang's rented apartment.

As soon as he entered, Xin Quan complained, half-jokingly, "Brother, why didn't you take this treasure out yesterday? Why bother me?"

In less than 48 hours, Xin Quan took three flights and was completely exhausted.

Shen Wang smiled and poured him a glass of water: "I asked around about the market price, and the price you offered for that Qianlong sandalwood sword case is quite fair, so..."

Shen Wang was just making this up.

Firstly, it was an excuse, and secondly, it was also a way to scare Xin Quan.

I know the market, so don't try to fool me; I value you, so you should know better.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xin Quan's joking expression faded considerably, and he quickly became serious, saying, "Brother, you're too kind. It's my honor to serve you! Rest assured, I know the rules, and I'll treat everyone fairly, young and old!"

After the pleasantries and tentative exchanges, let's get down to business.

Shen Wang didn't say much, and directly moved the heavy wooden box that the brigade commander had collected onto the table and opened it.

In an instant, the glittering jewels did not radiate, but the restrained brilliance and ancient charm that had been tempered by time made Xin Quan's breath catch in his throat.

He immediately put on white gloves, his expression becoming incredibly focused.

He carefully picked up a famille rose vase with a hundred butterflies design and examined it closely against the light, scrutinizing the body, glaze, pigments, painting technique, and base mark...

"A genuine Qianlong-era item..."

Then he picked up a blue and white porcelain brush holder with a landscape design.

"Qing Dynasty, Jiaqing Period... Jingdezhen Fine Art..."

Next came a pair of small doucai cups with lotus scrolls, a Tianhuang stone seal in a natural shape, and a white jade paperweight carved with a coiled dragon design…

Xin Quan became increasingly alarmed as he looked at it.

Although each piece individually may not be considered a top-tier national treasure, without exception, they are all genuine masterpieces from the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty.

To be able to produce so many antiques from the same period and of such a complete range at once, this is no ordinary collector!

How long must it have taken our ancestors to accumulate this foundation?

This Mr. Shen's background is probably unfathomable!

After an unknown amount of time...

"Great stuff, all great stuff, brother!"

Xin Quan finally finished reading the initial draft, took off his glasses, and rubbed his sore eyes.

"While the value of any single piece may not be top-tier, this entire set of scholar's objects and porcelain from the mid-to-late Qing dynasty has a clear provenance, is in excellent condition, and its overall value is considerable!"

Shen Wang nodded, not surprised by these comments.

He smiled slightly and threw out the real main point: "Put those aside for now and take a look at this."

As he spoke, he took out the brocade box that had been stored separately and slowly opened it.

It was that entire set of imperial green jadeite jewelry!

This is also why Xin Quan rushed over at such a fast pace.

At this moment, Xin Quan's hands were trembling slightly.

"Glassy type...Imperial green...Vibrant color, excellent translucency, old variety, flawless...This, this is simply a textbook example of a top-quality piece!"

"Brother! This...where did you get this from...No, no, I shouldn't have asked this."

"I just want to say, this is one of the finest jadeite I've ever seen in my career!"

"And it's a complete set! That's incredibly rare!"

However, Shen Wang didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to know the price.

"So how much is this guy worth?"

"How much? Brother, this can't be measured in money anymore. It's something that could be passed down as a family heirloom, even for someone at Boss Ma's level!"

Xin Quan took a deep breath and continued, "Brother, let me tell you this: a few years ago at Sotheby's autumn auction, a glass-type imperial green jadeite bracelet of slightly inferior quality to yours fetched a hammer price of HK$1.2 million."

1.2 million?

A bracelet?

Even though Shen Wang was somewhat prepared, he was still greatly shocked.

He knew this thing was valuable, but he never imagined it would be this valuable!

One bracelet alone costs over 100 million, so his whole set...
