As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal

The upper floors had already presented many.

Little did they realize, the basement was where the true treasures lay.

If indeed these were artifacts, Luo Feng stood to make a handsome profit.

Over five hundred crates found on the farm already, each housing more than ten thousand artifacts. These were jaw-dropping figures, and the basement contained even more.

Without witnessing it themselves, no one would believe it.

Naturally, this spectacle had sparked widespread excitement online.

Under such circumstances, no media outlet could maintain silence.

Where did these artifacts originate from, and why were they here?

Who possessed the resources to accumulate such a collection?

These topics fascinated netizens and fueled their discussions.

Meanwhile, Governor of Nara was fraught with confusion. How had this happened?

His previous invitation to the Governor of Hiroshima had already stirred up turmoil.

But this predicament, it seemed, was far more complex.

They had dispatched their valuable treasures afar.

“Mr. Luo, what are these objects? Are they artifacts?”

Luo Feng, in response, stepped forward and unlocked a crate.

The contents were enveloped in a familiar oilcloth.

As the oilcloth was lifted, the artifacts nestled underneath were exposed.

This crate was teeming with jade ornaments.

Luo Feng turned to the Governor of Nara, and confirmed, “Indeed, they seem to be artifacts!”

“Mr. Luo, did you purchase this farm knowing it harbored artifacts?” Lord Yamamoto of Nara inquired with a spark of curiosity.

All eyes turned to Luo Feng.

They yearned to hear the details from Luo Feng.

This enigma was gnawing at the curiosity of the Sakura Nation; they were incredibly eager to know.

This time, Luo Feng was candid. With a slight smile, he replied, “Yes, I was privy to some information, which led me to acquire the farm!”

“Last month, when I discovered the military fortress, I learned that back in the past, representatives from your country were dispatched to receive some of the artifacts. They intended to appropriate these artifacts, surreptitiously swapping the genuine items with replicas for the authorities, keeping the originals for themselves. This explains the abundance of counterfeits in your museums. It all traces back to this individual. Upon finding this lead, I naturally came here, found the farm, and bought it!”

As he recounted these events,

All mysteries unraveled.

However, Luo Feng had no inclination to delve deeper into these matters with them.

The past was past; there was no need for repetition.

The critical takeaway was that one of their own was the root cause of this debacle.

If it hadn’t been for their greed and desire to privately hoard these artifacts here, Luo Feng wouldn’t have discovered them.

“Good heavens! So that’s what transpired!”

“They stockpiled the bulk of the artifacts for personal gain and stashed them here?”

“Then, due to some unforeseen circumstances, these individuals passed away, leaving these items behind unbeknownst to anyone!”

“Yes, I recall when the military fortress was unearthed last time, it was bombarded. Those people must have perished in the blast!”

“Then the host found the envelope, which broke this staggering news, right?”

“They were audacious enough to amass such a large number of artifacts here covertly!”

Upon hearing this, Governor Yamamoto’s brows knitted together.

So that’s what had occurred.

There had indeed been issues with the individuals involved in artifact transportation then.

He had some awareness of this situation.

But it had slipped past the attention of those in charge.

Because their examinations of the artifacts had yielded no anomalies.

Little did they know, their own verification capabilities were inadequate, unable to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit artifacts.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have exhibited so many fakes in the museums.

“So, Mr. Luo, can you estimate the total count of artifacts?”

Governor Yamamoto asked, evidently anxious.

“I cannot determine the exact figure, as I’m still exploring. However, according to the records in the envelope, the estimate hovers around a hundred thousand. ”

Luo Feng replied with a nonchalant smile.

Hearing this, Governor Yamamoto felt a chilling sense of dread.

A hundred thousand artifacts.

Such a count could only be attributed to a major excavation site.

It was genuinely spine-chilling.

“Good heavens, a hundred thousand?”

“Does that mean the ten thousand artifacts unearthed during the live stream account for less than one-tenth of the total?”

“Lord above, I feel overwhelmed! I need help!”

“Let someone administer CPR, perhaps that’ll revive you!”

“How could they stash away such a substantial number of artifacts here?”

“With such a quantity, you could inaugurate ten small museums, three large ones, or even a mega museum!”

“With such a significant role in artifact transportation, it’s easy to pull off such a deception, swapping genuine artifacts with fakes, isn’t a big deal!”

“Yes, you’re too naiVe to grasp these machinations, it’s not your fault!”

Upon hearing the figure one hundred thousand, everyone was floored. They stood in utter shock, paralyzed by disbelief..
