As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal - Chapter 113

113 The Internet, Stunned! A Tomb Guardian’s Corpse?! (2)

“Old Luo must have stashed away its iconic fangs!”

“It’s said that the most valuable part of a saber-toothed tiger is its fangs!”

“My knowledge has increased once again! It turns out that a saber-toothed tiger is no different from any other creature! There’s nothing special about its bones!”

“You do know that all bones are made of the same substance, right? Even yours!”

!!
“…”

The topic was discussed rather animatedly within Weibo.

While it had only been in third place moments ago, it had now shot up all the way to the top spot.

After all, among the prehistoric animals, the saber-toothed tigers were something akin to a celebrity among them. Its name alone was already very impressive, and because of this, it was one of the more popular prehistoric animals.

Of course, it was not just the people on Weibo who were excitedly talking about Luo Feng.

At this moment, all the major museums and animal associations within the nation that had caught wind of the incident also began to discuss it.

“Is it actually a saber-toothed tiger’s fossil?”

“Our museum must absolutely get our hands on it!”

“It looks like the real deal! It doesn’t look like it’s made of plastic or fake bones!”

“He obtained it from a part of a mountain that collapsed. This can’t possibly be a scripted scenario, right?”

“We have to contact this streamer!”

“How do we contact them? Are they even easy to talk to? There’s nothing we can do if he doesn’t want to sell it to us!”

“It’s fine, let’s just treat him politely, alright?”

Many of the staff at the animal fossil museum had never dealt with any live streamers before, and thus, they were unfamiliar about the standard protocol to take when interacting with them.

When it came to dealing with authorities, people of great wealth, or even their fellow peers, they had a multitude of experiences to draw from, but a internet celebrity was a first for them.

They were worried that they might get on the wrong foot.

“Hello, Little Luo. Do you still remember me? I’m Fang Guojun from the Jiangnan Painting and Calligraphy Association!”

“Mr. Fang?”

“Yep, it is I. So, there’s something I’d like to ask your help with. I have a friend who works in the Jiangnan Museum of Paleontology, and he wishes to purchase your saber-toothed tiger fossil! They’ve already inspected its condition from your stream and claims that is preserved well enough to be featured in a cultural relic exhibition within the museum!”

“Huh, I see… It’s not an impossible arrangement… But…”

Luo Feng did not continue any further.

Naturally, he wanted to know how much the museum was offering.

However, in the next moment.

Luo Feng, who was making the call while under a huge tree, spotted a beautiful woman with a curvaceous body approaching towards him with a grumpy expression.

She had the same expression as a wife whose husband had cheated on her.

This person was none other than Qin Rubing.

Oh sh*t!

Upon spotting Qin Rubing’s tight mountaineering outfit, Luo Feng’s attention was immediately drawn towards her long legs.

It was an amazing sight.

Unlike the split cheongsam, the mountaineering outfit accentuated her figure even more.

It had stuck closer her body, which gave a better view of her lovely figure.

It was perfect.

“Huh? Is something the matter, Little Luo? Why’d you suddenly cut off at but…”

Fang Guojun had sensed the shift in Luo Feng’s attention.

“It’s nothing, let’s talk about it at a later time!”

Luo Feng did not acquiesce to the old president’s request. However, this was not because he was trying to protect Qin Rubing’s feelings.

As always, he prioritized whichever party offered him the highest amount of money.

If the auction house was capable of selling it at a high price, he would sell it there without a second thought.

On the other hand, the fossil museum had yet to even make an offer, so he did not pay them much heed.

Museums usually low ball their clients, anyway, Luo Feng thought to himself.

“Luo Feng~”

“Ah? I’m here, what’s up?”

Luo Feng responded.

Qin Rubing had a pitifully helpless look on her face.

Can you stop seducing me?

You’ve probably sensed that I have something good, haven’t you?

And you don’t want to give up on it, do you?

How much are you willing to offer for it, though?

Unless you’re willing to pay me a good price, negotiations will not proceed smoothly today, Miss Qin.

It seems that there are a number of parties who are interested in this fossil.

Despite being only worth 3 million yuan, it seems rather popular among you folks.

This is evidenced by its current ranking on Weibo’s trending search.

Truthfully speaking, animal fossils were actually a niche collectible that were rarely worth much. However, in the case of the saber-toothed tiger, it was a commonly recognized fossil, and it was due to this popularity that caused its prices to skyrocket beyond its peers.

“You won’t sell the saber-toothed tiger fossil to anyone else, right?”

Qin Rubing said in a sweet voice.

Mentally, however, she was groaning at how cringeworthy and disgusting she sounded to herself.

She wanted to vomit.

“Ahem, ahem. That’ll depend on your performance!”

“Eh? Depends on my performance? What do you mean?”

“Well, I’m not asking for much. All I’m asking is that you talk properly and not whatever you did earlier, otherwise… Hurff blarghh…” Luo Feng made a vomiting expression near the end the end there.

“Go to hell!”

Qin Rubing rolled her eyes as she chided him.

Now, this was the real Qin Rubing.

Her fiery temper was her trademark personality, and yet, she had attempted to embrace her womanly charms to seduce him.

It felt completely out of place.

“Fine then, I’m done goofing off with you. In any case, if I were to auction this saber-toothed tiger fossil in your auction house, how much would it fetch? As a professional, I have a feeling that you already have a ballpark figure in mind?”

Luo Feng wiped off his mischievous smile and asked seriously.

“I feel that many Western tycoons will come to purchase it. Due to this, its price would go up a lot. I’m guessing it’ll go for 5 million?”

“Well in any case, if this price is not to your liking, name me your price and I’ll cover the rest for you!”

What Qin Rubing wanted was to take advantage of the saber-toothed tiger fossil’s popularity.

As mentioned earlier, rich clients tend to splurge a bit on other items when they attend auction, and Qin Rubing was trying to make use of this lavish spending behavior of theirs.

By having the saber-toothed tiger fossil in her auction, all other items would receive a boost in sales as well.

“You’ll cover the rest, you say?”

Luo Feng gave Qin Rubing’s offer some thought and eventually nodded.

Soon after.

Luo Feng received a bunch of calls from various museums and animal associations.

However, each and every one of their offers were extremely low, criminally so.

One of them even had the audacity to offer a million. Why would he ever consider such a low offer?

It was really infuriating.

Anyway, Luo Feng was already expecting the dog-water offers from these museums and associations, so he had only taken them in stride.

“See that? I’ve rejected all these requests to purchase the fossil!”
