I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.
Chapter 65 is ready; the national treasure returns to its rightful place.
Little White lay on Li Xiulan's lap, its tail wagging gently, and replied in the voice of a little girl, "No problem. But I'm still in my infancy, so my abilities are limited. I can only grow bigger and scratch with my claws. When I grow up a bit more and can control the wind and thunder, I can handle as many people as come."
Luo Fei said, "That's enough." Xiao Bai hummed in response, buried her head in Li Xiulan's arms, and closed her icy blue eyes.
Li Xiulan held a bowl of porridge in one hand and a cat in the other, keeping her head down while drinking the porridge to avoid spilling it on the cat.
Little White rolled over on her lap, revealing its white belly, with its four paws curled up in front of its chest.
Li Xiulan used her free hand to touch its belly; it was soft and warm, and the white cat's fur flowed through her fingers.
Luo Fei's phone vibrated; it was a message from Xiao Wan. He put down his porridge bowl, picked up his phone, glanced at the screen, and his lips twitched slightly.
"Captain, all the artifacts in the Xianglong Museum have been authenticated. Of these, approximately 1.48 million are genuine, accounting for 75%. Approximately 490,000 are fakes or incomplete pieces, accounting for 25%."
"All counterfeit items have been destroyed. Repairable parts of the assembled items have been marked with restoration plans, and irreparable parts have been disposed of in a harmless manner. All genuine items have been categorized by age, type, and preservation condition, and placed in temperature- and humidity-controlled display cases on the corresponding floors. The lighting in the display cases has been adjusted, and explanatory labels have been installed."
"The museum has met the requirements for opening to the public. Please confirm your opening date."
After finishing the last mouthful of porridge, Luo Fei put down the bowl, stood up, and told his parents, "I'm going out for a bit."
Little White lay on the edge of the table, its tail curled into a question mark, its icy blue eyes staring unblinkingly at him, and a childish voice in his mind said, "Where are you going? Take me with you."
Luo Fei thought to himself, "Next time, I'll take care of serious business today." Xiao Bai snorted, turned its head and buried its head in Li Xiulan's arms, its tail still swishing on the table.
With a thought, Luo Fei disappeared from beside the dining table.
The next second, he stood at the entrance of the Xianglong Museum.
The morning light slanted in from the east, and the silvery-white scales on the facade shimmered with iridescent colors in the sunlight. The dragon's head was raised, facing the sun, like a real dragon swallowing and spitting out the morning glow.
A huge plaque has been hung at the entrance. It is a dark gray granite slab with the words "Xianglong Museum" engraved on it. It is not a raised relief, but a recessed engraving. The bottom of the strokes is coated with a layer of light gold, which shimmers in the sunlight.
The same words are also embedded in the exterior wall of the roof, but larger and more eye-catching, and can be seen from several kilometers away.
Luo Fei stood at the door for a few seconds, then pushed it open and went inside.
The lobby was brighter than when he last visited. The microcrystalline stone floor was polished so smooth by the robot that it reflected images, and the ceiling lighting system was adjusted to the optimal color temperature.
The empty theme wall finally had words on it—"Xianglong Museum," in the same font as the plaque at the entrance. The silver-white metal letters were embedded in the dark gray background, and when the light shone on the letters, each stroke looked three-dimensional, as if it were floating in the air.
The door to the temporary exhibition hall is open, but it's currently empty. We'll talk about it when there's a special exhibition later.
Luo Fei started from the first floor and walked up the stairs, floor by floor. He took the elevator to the second floor.
The door opened, revealing a bronze artifact exhibition hall.
The display case is lit with a warm yellow light specially tuned for bronzes. When that light shines on the green rust-covered bronzes, it makes every pattern and every rust mark appear warm and profound.
A huge bronze tripod stands in a standalone display case in the center of the exhibition hall. It is over one meter tall, with three legs and two handles. Its belly is decorated with intricate taotie patterns, with wide-open eyes and exposed fangs.
The glass in the display case is made of spacecraft material, with extremely high transparency; you can hardly feel its presence unless you look closely.
The explanatory plaque is a small screen embedded in the base of the display case, which scrolls to show the name, era, place of excavation, size, and a brief introduction of the artifact: "Western Zhou Dynasty Bronze Taotie Pattern Ding, 113 cm high, 86 cm in diameter, weighing 215 kg. The ding is carved with Taotie patterns, showcasing the pinnacle of ancient bronze casting technology in China."
Luo Fei glanced at it for a few seconds, then turned and walked into the side hall next door. Small cultural relics were grouped together in huge display cases against the wall. These large display cases were several meters long and divided into dozens of small compartments. Each compartment contained one artifact—a bronze jue, a bronze gu, a bronze jia, and a bronze gong, densely packed together, like a wall cast in bronze.
What's even more ingenious is that after the museum closes each day, the position of each row of artifacts is automatically adjusted—the artifacts that are in the highest row today will be moved to the middle row tomorrow, and to the bottom row the day after.
Luo Fei looked through each layer one by one.
The third floor is porcelain, the fourth floor is porcelain, and the fifth floor is still porcelain. The celadon glaze of Ru ware gleams like jade under the warm white light, the gold and iron wire patterns of Ge ware cover the surface of the objects like a fine net, and the kiln-transformed purple of Jun ware spreads upwards from the bottom of the vessel, like a blooming violet.
The sixth floor houses calligraphy and paintings. The lighting in the display cases is much dimmer than in the bronze ware section because paper artifacts are more sensitive to light. Through the glass, you can see the brushstrokes and details of those ancient paintings: the texture of the landscape, the folds of the clothing of the figures, the feathers of the flowers and birds. Every stroke is so clear that it looks like it was painted yesterday, with distinct shades of ink and the seals as fresh as new.
The seventh floor displayed jade artifacts, the eighth floor Buddhist statues, the ninth floor lacquerware, and the tenth floor gold and silver artifacts. Each floor had large, important pieces in individual display cases and smaller, exquisite items in display cases against the wall. Luo Fei walked at a moderate pace, occasionally stopping to take a look.
Twenty-fifth floor. Luo Fei stepped out of the elevator into a spacious area.
The layout of this floor is different from the floor below. There are far fewer display cases and the spacing between them is much larger, giving each artifact ample space.
This was a space he specifically instructed Xiao Wan to reserve—specifically for displaying the most top-tier and precious national treasures in the ring.
In the very center of the exhibition hall, there is a special independent display case.
It is larger than a regular display case and has a higher base.
There were no other exhibits around the display case, leaving ample space for people to appreciate it from any angle and distance. The display case was empty, waiting for its owner.
Luo Fei walked to the display case and took out the Imperial Seal of the State from his ring.
"Xiao Wan, open this display case."
Xiao Wan's voice came from the ceiling speaker: "Received, the display case is open."
The glass cover slowly rose, revealing a recessed area on the base perfectly shaped to accommodate the jade seal. Luo Fei placed the jade seal inside, and it fit snugly into the recess.
The glass cover slowly descended and sealed.
At the same time, the warm white light source around the base shines upwards onto the jade seal, casting the shadows of the five dragons onto the glass cover above, making them look like five living dragons traveling through the clouds.
The small screen at the base of the display case lit up, displaying lines of text: "Imperial Seal of the State. Era: Qin Dynasty. Material: He Shi Bi (a famous jade disc). Dimensions: Approximately 11 cm on each side, approximately 9 cm in height. Inscription: 'By the Mandate of Heaven, may your reign be long and prosperous.' Historical significance: A symbol of the legitimate imperial power of successive dynasties, engraved by Li Si. It was lost after Emperor Li Congke of the Later Tang Dynasty committed suicide by burning himself with it."
Luo Fei stood in front of the display case for about half a minute, then turned and walked to another reserved spot.
He took out the skull of a Kyoto man from the ring, followed by the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion," and finally the Xuanyuan Sword.
All four national treasures have been properly placed.
Luo Fei stood in the middle of the exhibition hall, with the four national treasures each occupying their own space, undisturbed by each other.
He looked around the exhibition hall and said to the air, "Xiao Wan, release the museum's promotional video on all platforms. The video should include a close-up shot of the Imperial Seal of the State, so that everyone can see the seal in its entirety."
"Also, here's an announcement—the Xianglong Museum will hold its opening ceremony tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM. Leaders from Longhai City, experts from all fields of cultural relics in Longhai, and media reporters are invited to attend. Please send out the invitations for me. You decide on the guest list, and you can directly contact the relevant leaders in Longhai City."
"One more thing—design a ticketing website, initially offering 30,000 tickets per day, to be adjusted later as needed. The ticket price is 100 yuan per person. One adult can bring one child under 12 years old for free. Students, medical staff, firefighters, teachers, and police officers will receive half-price tickets. Starting tomorrow, the website will begin selling tickets for the following day at noon each day. Those without tickets will not be allowed entry."
Xiao Wan said, "Received. The video is finished and being uploaded. The invitation has been sent. The ticketing website is ready; real-name registration is required, and entry can be done by scanning your ID card."
"No staff or security guards are needed in the museum, because no one but you and I can open any of the display cases."
"If anyone attempts to vandalize the display case, it will automatically sound an alarm and activate the built-in high-voltage electric shock defense system. It won't kill, but it's enough to keep any intruder in the hospital for half a year."
Luo Fei replied, "Okay."
Xiao Wan then asked, "Will you attend the opening ceremony?"
