Chapter 34: The Benefits of Upgrading

However, there are special conditions for the ability to be upgraded, and the specific condition for this upgrade is to absorb the psionic energy of a suitable antique, and the requirement is that the antique must be at least a thousand years old and have a considerable value (500,000), and only when this condition is met will the ability be upgraded.

This explanation can't help but make Chu Chen want to curse a little, but this is not a hint, how can he know the upgrade conditions of the ability, if it is not for the luck of this time, he happened to meet Mr. Zhao, and he happened to have a valuable antique from a thousand years ago for him to identify, and I don't know when the upgrade of the ability will be.

But now that the ability has been upgraded, there will always be some perks, and there are three perks this time.

First of all, the number of times he absorbs spiritual energy in a day has increased to five, which makes Chu Chen very happy, he was too little three before, but he didn't expect it to increase by two at once, this is really a carbon in the snow.

The second benefit is the increase in physical fitness, but it is not stated in that information, and it is estimated that you have to experience it yourself. So he began to think about the difference between his body and before, and when he thought about it, he suddenly thought that his speed seemed to be faster than before, and his physical strength was much better, and he ran home in such a hurry just now, and he didn't have any breath.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen immediately tested it in the living room, and the results proved to be the case. Now his speed is estimated to be 10% faster than before, and in terms of physical strength, he has not even taken a breath for 50 push-ups, which makes him feel very happy.

The physical benefits are nothing, after all, no matter how strong you are, you can't become a god, a superman, or the like, but the third benefit is what Chu Chen cares about the most.

After this ability upgrade, in his mind, a progress bar appeared, the progress bar was divided into six squares, and now the first block was full, and he was about to start the second block of savings, and the third to sixth squares were gray.

After that, whenever you absorb the psionic energy in an antique or jadeite jewel, depending on the quality of the psychic energy, it can be reflected in the progress bar. This function is obviously a timely rain for Chu Chen, and with such a hint, he will not be blind to the progress of the ability upgrade.

However, after the upgrade, the increase of the progress bar also has certain restrictions. Specifically, if the object of the ability is Chu Chen's own, then the progress will be increased according to the normal, and if the thing is not his, it will be increased according to the situation.

For example, if Chu Chen helps others identify antiques, although the spiritual energy can also be absorbed, compared with his own antiques, the increased progress bar will be reduced to a quarter of the actual situation.

And if he deliberately goes to an antique shop or jewelry store to touch antiques or jewelry, the progress bar will not increase at all, so that he will not be able to cheat.

When the second bar is fully accumulated, you will be informed of the conditions related to the upgrade, and after passing the level, you will be able to get the corresponding reward. The second reward, in addition to increasing the number of times psionic energy is absorbed and strengthening the body, will also generate another ability, the "Spirit Treasure Eye".

The role of this Lingbao eye is actually the same as the role of the left hand, but the difference is that when the time comes, don't touch the object again, as long as you use your eyes to absorb spiritual energy, and the most important thing is that the Lingbao eye also has the ability to see, and at the same time as appreciating the treasure, it can play a role in seeing through the inside of the item.

After understanding the role of the Lingbao Eye, Chu Chen could be said to be ecstatic, this Lingbao Eye was too important to him. The identification of antiques will not talk about it first, let's talk about gambling stones, now even if Chu Chen uses his ability to detect the jadeite in the wool, he does not know what the distribution of jadeite in it is.

And jadeite, especially high-grade jadeite, is slightly cut down, the impact on the overall value of jadeite is very large, and with the function of perspective, then such a loss can be avoided. This function alone made Chu Chen excited, and there were many other conveniences, if he could not be excited.

Just when Chu Chen was falling into a fantasy, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and when he looked at the number, it was actually Zhao Qirui, who had just separated, he quickly picked up the phone and said:

"Hey, hello Brother Zhao, I'm Chu Chen."

"Xiao Chu, I forgot to tell you just now, please help me pay attention to a better calligraphy and painting or porcelain vase in the market, the requirements of calligraphy and painting should be more famous, and the porcelain vase should be atmospheric and festive, this is the gift I am going to give to my old man's birthday, please spend more time, it is best to give me an answer in a week."

Chu Chen hesitated for a moment, this requirement is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, the most important thing is to find the right one, but the right antique is not so easy to find, the price is cheap, it is good to say, if it is expensive, then Zhao Qirui has to doubt his ability.

Of course, it would be even more impossible for him to push it away, so he asked:

"Brother Zhao, I don't know what your price requirements are?"

Zhao Qirui, who was on the other side of the phone, said jokingly: "This is not true, even if you find me something worth 100 million, as long as it is worth the money, I will buy it with you." Hehe, Xiao Chu, don't worry, you don't need to find both things, if you really can't find it, it doesn't matter, I'll let others help me pay attention to it. ”

"Haode, then I'll help you find it as soon as possible, and we'll get in touch then."

Hanging up the phone, Chu Chen was a little distressed, Zhao Qirui's request this time is estimated to have some elements of his test, if he can't find something he is satisfied with, his impression of him will be discounted, which he absolutely cannot accept.

A billionaire like Zhao Qirui can be described as their food and clothing parents for antique dealers. Like the old saying in the antique shop, "If you don't open for half a year, you will eat for half a year", the usual petty fights will not have this kind of situation, and only the transaction with a rich boss like Zhao Qirui can be reproduced.

Now that Zhao Qirui has given him a chance, of course he wants to maintain the friendship between them as much as possible. At that time, he has more precious antiques and wants to sell, even if Zhao Qirui does not buy them, he can introduce others to buy them, and the price can also be guaranteed, which is what people often call a high-quality sales channel.

So what Zhao Qirui proposed to ask him to help just now, no matter how difficult it is, Chu Chen has to help him complete it, and the result has to satisfy him.

So Chu Chen made a few phone calls one after another, asking Uncle Wu and the friends he knew to help pay attention to the antiques required in this regard, and if there was any news, he would notify him immediately.

However, he didn't let Zhao Xueyi help, after all, Zhao Qirui used to do this kind of work through Zhao Xueyi, and now his behavior is like robbing Zhao Xueyi's job, if he asks him to help again, maybe people will have ideas in their hearts, and even if the relationship is good, there will definitely be a gap between the two.

After a round of notifications, the mobile phone rang again, Chu Chen saw that it was Uncle Wu's phone, and quickly picked up the phone and said:

"Hey, Uncle Wu, I'm Xiaochen, is there news so soon?"

Uncle Wu's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaochen, you are lucky, I happen to have a guest here, he has a suitable amphora that he wants to sell, and the price is quite appropriate, why don't you come and take a look?" ”

As soon as he heard about this good thing, Chu Chen hurriedly said on the phone: "Haode, I'll come over immediately." ”

Putting down the phone, Chu Chen quickly ran to Uncle Wu's shop, and when it was not far away, he suddenly found a problem, he ran too fast just now, and the most important thing was that he didn't even gasp a few times, let alone sweat, you must know that it is summer now, if he goes in recklessly, how can he explain it clearly to Uncle Wu?

So he had to bask in the sun for a while, wait for a little sweat on his head, and then trot back into the shop, pretending to gasp for air.

"You kid, what are you doing in such a hurry, it's a hot day, don't get heat stroke, drink saliva and rest first." Seeing Chu Chen's appearance, Uncle Wu said with some concern.

Chu Chen didn't say much, just smirked and took the water, and then sat aside. Resting while drinking water, he really liked the feeling of being cared for.

At this time, in Uncle Wu's shop, there was a man about thirty years old, and this person should be the customer that Uncle Wu just mentioned.

Chu Chen apologized to him, and the man also said that it didn't matter, let him rest for a while and then talk about the amphora. Then he looked at an amphora on the table, this amphora was very exquisite, and when he saw it, he was deeply fascinated.

This is a amphora color porcelain bottle, the bottle height is about 20 centimeters, it is a small bottle in terms of vessel type, the outer wall of the bottle is painted with carmine glaze, and the "Fushou Wannian" pattern is drawn in pastel, which means auspicious, and the shape of the ears is a dragon type, so the accurate name of this porcelain vase should be called, carmine red ground pastel Fushou Wannian pattern double dragon ear vial.

Uncle Wu waited for Chu Chen to rest almost, so he introduced the two to each other.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wang, what a blessing." After listening to Uncle Wu's introduction, Chu Chen stepped forward to shake hands with the man and handed over his business card.

Mr. Wang took the business card and said with a smile: "Let's make a long story short, I am short on time, Mr. Chu, you can take a look first, this amphora charm does not meet your requirements." ”

Chu Chen was not polite when he heard this, and after greeting to Mr. Wang, he put on his gloves and stepped forward to observe carefully.

Looking at the style of this amphora, it should be a carmine porcelain fired by Jingdezhen kiln factory in the Qing Dynasty, which is a historical peak of the production and development of colored porcelain in Jingdezhen Imperial Factory in the Kang, Yong and Qian periods of the Qing Dynasty, and the carmine porcelain bowl made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty is enough to be breathtaking.

Among them, carmine should be regarded as one of the most innovative representative color glazes of this period. It is a pink color with a purple tint in gold, and is often referred to as "golden red", or "magenta", because of the gold contained in the glaze.
