Luden? Penang

The name is a bit quirky and takes some effort to remember.

"Mr. Ludon, sit back, I have a hair dryer in my room, if you need it..."

John could tell that Ludon had just come out of the lake, wasn't in great shape, and needed to be taken care of.

"Don't bother, thank you, I'm so grateful to be here."

Ludon declined John's offer and sat back down by the fireplace.

John simply introduced him to the people present,

"These are my colleagues, professors at the University of Karetown..."

The University of Karetown, the planet's top university, has produced the most top talents from all walks of life.

To be able to hold a teaching position at this university requires not only talent, ability, qualifications, and background, but also a little bit of luck.

In other words, any of the six people present is a master in his own industry.

"Jack, professor of psychology, his wife Meg, art department."

John pointed to the men beside Ludon,

"Your nearest professor, Professor Griffin, he's from medical school, but he's been banned from the operating table due to alcoholism."

Griffin, whose nose was flushed, picked up the bottle and took a sip only to find it empty. Penang

John was right about one thing, he was a heavy drinker.

He casually threw the bottle aside, and shouted dissatisfied,

"If you don't let me drink, you might as well kill me."

Luton noticed that Griffin's hands would never stop, could not be still, and would shake unconsciously.

In this way, he really can't get on the operating table.

"The other two gentlemen—"

John was about to introduce when he was interrupted by Meg. Penang

"Oh my God, what is this?"

Meg stood by the wall, looking at a painting on the wall.

Jack glanced at it and said casually,

"Isn't this just an ordinary painting?"

The painting on the wall didn't impress him in any way, and the painting was almost the same in his eyes.

John, on the other hand, looked very flat and said without any fluctuations, "A friend sent it."

Meg just glanced at it, and she felt like she couldn't take her eyes off it. Penang

The style of this painting undoubtedly belongs to Van Gogh.

But she knew every one of Van Gogh's works, and this painting didn't belong to any of them...

There are only two possibilities, either this is an imitation or this is the real Van Gogh.

In either case, Meg felt that the trip was worthwhile, her soul was on the painting at the moment, and she didn't care about anything else.

Meg asked bluntly, "Is this a Van Gogh painting?"

The corners of Ludden's mouth twitched.

Before coming, Ludon had been told that in order to facilitate his integration into this conversation, the history of the entire world was the same as that of the previous gods and fog. Penang

Of course, the role of "Luden" has been hidden in these histories.

John shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer the question, not knowing if he was disdainful or if he didn't think the question was worth answering.

Griffin opened another bottle of wine and asked casually,

"If it's genuine, how much can it sell for?"

There was disdain in his tone, and Meg glanced at him coldly and slammed back,

"Ten years of funding for your academy."

"So many?!" Penang

Griffin took a long sip of wine and said half-jokingly,

"John, I'm going to take this painting, you know, we're short on money!"

John waved his hand, seemingly acquiescing to the joke.

Meg was a little angry, and wanted to grab Jack's ear and scold,

"Idiot! A treasure trove is in front of you, but you only know fishing! Fishing!"

Of course, in front of so many people, she couldn't do such a thing.

Jack invited her more than once to come to the cabin for a holiday, but Meg ruthlessly refused. Penang

After receiving permission, Meg carefully took the painting down and began to study the frame, the canvas, the paint...

Although she has a very bad temper, she is an expert in this industry, and her eyes are particularly vicious.

The more she observed, the more frightened Meg became, and she felt her heart beat countless times faster.

This painting... I guess it's not true!

The crowd ignored Meg, who wasn't very gregarious in the first place.

Jack saw a gadget in the kitchen,

"What is this, your new fish?" Penang

Jack was holding something like a fish bone, but he had never seen a fish bone like this, and he couldn't think of what kind of fish it was.

Griffin just glanced at it and blurted out, "Jack, you've drunk too much, it's human bones."

Jack shuddered and nearly threw the bones out.

One of the two who had been silent reached out to take the bone, observed it for a moment, and then nodded slowly,

"It's indeed a human bone, but it's already a fossil, and in the days of the Osmani, they would have collected such loot after killing their enemies... John, where did you get this?"

Obviously, he was a professor of history and knew a lot about what happened thousands or 10,000 years ago.

John smiled bitterly, Penang

"If I say a friend sent it, would you believe it?"

"I'd like to have more friends like that."

After the two of them made a discovery in the cabin, the rest of the people immediately became excited, and they began to look around, feeling that the cabin was like a treasure trove, and they were explorers.

"Mind if we look around?"

"Please, it's your own home."

Soon, new discoveries were made.

"120 years of spearheads? John, you've been deceived, this wine doesn't have such a long history." Penang

"What is this, a Bible signed by the author? John, this kind of joke is not funny, you know, the Bible was compiled by posterity, and its author... If you sue me for offense, there is no way to have an autograph."

「....」

The feelings of the crowd have changed dramatically in a very short period of time.

At first, they thought they had strayed into a treasure trove.

Now, they find themselves in a copycat merchandise store.

The things here seem to contain historical heritage, but in fact they are full of loopholes.

To say that they are fakes is to insult fakes. Penang

Jack even found a wooden globe with an inscription on it that predates his trip around the world!

From the shock and expectation at the beginning, everyone turned into complaining and joking.

John, who was sitting at the table, took a sip of his wine glass and said indifferently,

"How about we play a game?"

Game?

The crowd put down their belongings and looked at John.

Their questions are not answered, but they are invited to play a game? Penang

Quite a few people came to be interested.

They were curious to know why John would waste so much money on the fakes of these fakes.

"It's not the first time I've played this game, and to be honest, I like it a lot, because every time I play it, it's a different experience..."

John blinked, and the cunning slipped out of the corner of his eye,

"What if, I mean what if, what if a person lived from the Stone Age to the present day?"
