Hearing Lin Chen say that there was a fatal difference between the statue in front of him and the sculpture at their Metropolitan Museum of Art, and this difference could prove the authenticity of the sculpture, Steve was shocked.

Because he had only looked at it for a while, he didn't notice any difference between the two statues at all.

Steve once thought he had studied Jasco's lovelorn princess thoroughly, but now he has suffered a series of setbacks and is embarrassed.

Steve was not reconciled, so he checked the statue again from beginning to end.

But it turned out that nothing was found.

Just looking at the appearance, this statue is really exactly the same as the statue he remembered from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

"Where the hell is the place you are talking about, sir? How can I not find the difference? ”

Steve finally raised his hand to Lin Chen and surrendered.

Lin Chen smiled, walked to the foot of the statue, bent down and pointed to Princess Belute's left foot standing on tiptoe.

"Please take a closer look here, the real Princess Beluti has a mole on her left foot! This mole is only found on the real lovelorn princess statue, and most of the rest of the imitations ignore this. ”

What? A mole on the sole of your foot?!

Really?!

Suddenly, almost all the people at the scene made a movement, that is, they bent down and looked at the soles of the statues.

Steve also sat almost on the ground, taking a magnifying glass to look closely.

After a few moments, the scene seemed to explode.

Everyone saw that on the soles of Lin Chen's statues, there was really a small bulge like a mole.

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect what Lin Chen said to be true!

"W-That doesn't mean anything!"

Walter, the deputy director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, suddenly shouted: "It's just a mole, how can you prove that this statue is real?" ”

"Because the real Princess Belluti has this mole on her foot." Lin Chen replied.

"You haven't seen Princess Belute with your own eyes! How do you know she's on her feet? Walter shouted.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, and said with a smile in his heart: I'm sorry, I really saw Beluti with my own eyes!

At this time, Steve waved his hand and stopped Walter with a tired face.

"Walter, needless to say, this statue, I'm afraid it's real!"

"What? Curator, you don't really believe his nonsense just because of a mole, do you? Besides, maybe it's not a mole here, but a mistake in carving. ”

Steve shook his head: "Don't talk about Walter, you don't understand, Princess Belut really has a mole on her foot!" ”

Back then, in order to study the statue of the lovelorn princess, Steve conducted a thorough study of the princess Belute.

As a princess of a country, in addition to the lovelorn princess statue, the princess Belluti has also been used as a model for her own works by other painters.

Steve once saw an oil painting that was the work of another master.

Because he has studied for a long time, he clearly remembers every detail in the oil painting.

Among them, on the sole of Belute's left foot, he had indeed seen a black mole.

At the time, he still thought it was a little strange why this mole did not exist on the statue of the lovelorn princess.

Now seeing Lin Chen's statue, Steve finally understands that it is not that Jasco has forgotten, but because the statue of the lovelorn princess in his hand is clearly a fake!

Lin Chen watched the changing expression on Steve's face from the side, and somewhat guessed some of his thoughts.

Now Steve, I'm afraid he must think that his statue is real, right?

In fact, this time, he thought about it, the left foot of the real lovelorn princess statue really has no mole.

Now the black mole on Lin Chen's statue was deliberately added by him in order to distinguish it from the genuine work of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In fact, he did this just to confuse the eyes and make the people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art mistakenly believe that he was the real thing.

But in fact, Jasco really didn't carve this mole back then.

As for the reason, Lin Chen could roughly guess it.

It is said that in the eyes of lovers, Jasco, as the suitor of Princess Belut, must be flawless in his mind.

Although this black mole only grows on the soles of her feet, it usually does not affect Belute's appearance, but in Jasco's eyes, it is a bit like a stain on the princess's body.

As a fanatical suitor of the princess, he naturally would not allow the princess to have such a black mole on her body.

Therefore, when carving, Jasco deliberately ignored this physical feature of Belute.

Steve only studied antiques, not human psychology, how could he guess the hearts of people hundreds of years ago like Lin Chen.

So he is destined to be on Lin Chen's path today.

Steve said helplessly: "Dear Mr. Lin, I must admit that this statue in your hand is the real lovelorn princess statue, and the one in our Metropolitan Museum of Art is just a fake!" ”

Rumble!

The whole scene exploded, and the teachers of Yanwu University were all smiling.

Because since the statue of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a fake, it means that the statue is not worth borrowing money, and even if it has to be compensated, it will not require Yanwu University to accompany hundreds of millions as before.

Principal Xia and the art teacher were also completely relieved, they didn't expect that the fakes that Lin Chen had made in one night would really fool the test, and even the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art was deceived.

After confirming that this statue is real, as an avid fan of Jasco, Curator Steve naturally couldn't miss it, and he immediately asked Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, I don't know if this statue in your hand is interested in making a move?" I'm willing to bid 100 million for the acquisition! ”

Hearing Steve's offer, the teachers around who didn't know the truth opened their mouths one after another, with a look of envy.

100 million!

If you sell it, won't you become a billionaire right away?

Lin Chen shook his head: "I'm sorry, Curator Steve, I'm not interested in making a move." ”

Hearing this, Principal Xia and the art teacher were dumbfounded, this is 100 million!

Others didn't know, but they knew very well that this statue only took Lin Chen one night to complete.

This is almost equivalent to the money picked up for nothing, and Lin Chen doesn't even want it?

"What about the 200 million?"

At this time, Steve actually raised the offer again.

The scene gasped and the cool air continued to sound.

But to their surprise, Lin Chen still didn't agree.

As a result, Steve gritted his teeth and said directly: "Mr. Lin, three hundred million!" Please be sure to give me the lovelorn princess statue! ”

Principal Xia's face changed, and he began to be a little worried, if Lin Chen really sold this statue at this price, although he could make a lot of money, but his statue was just a fake after all, if one day, the truth was revealed, and the other party found that he spent 300 million to buy only one fake, I don't know if he would be angry?

Who knows, at this moment, Lin Chen spoke: "Mr. Steve, I don't need money, but if you really want this statue, I can make another deal with you, if you agree, it doesn't matter if I give you this statue for free." ”
