The live-streamed object exploration made me release that bird.

Chapter 54 Hong Ge's Double Thanks

"Wow, this is a landscape painting by Wen Zhengming from the Ming Dynasty. If it's genuine, how much is it worth?"

"Host, since you know where this landscape painting is hidden, why did you lead others to find it? Wouldn't it have been much more profitable to just sneak over and dig it out yourself?"

"Upstairs, anchor Yang is not that kind of person. If she were, no one would ask her to go looking for calligraphy and paintings."

……

The live stream caused a sensation, with many people with the ability to appreciate ancient paintings pointing out that it was a landscape painting by Wen Zhengming, a great painter of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyone with even a slight interest in calligraphy and painting knows what kind of painter Wen Zhengming was and how valuable his works are.

"Wen Zhengming, very good, very good!"

Lin Hong also recognized that it was a landscape painting by Wen Zhengming, a great painter of the Ming Dynasty. As for whether it was real or fake, it would only be known after experts had authenticated it. However, regardless of whether it was real or fake, it was a very valuable landscape painting. After being excited for several minutes, he turned around and looked at Yang Xun to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Anchor Yang. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to find this landscape painting. Anchor Yang, let's go out for dinner. I'm going to toast you a few more times later. Anchor Yang, you helped me find this landscape painting, which is a relic of my ancestors, so I can now calmly repair my ancestral home."

"Um."

It was getting late, so Yang Xun nodded, got into the car, and left Lin Village together.

The fact that Lin Hong found a landscape painting by the Ming Dynasty master Wen Zhengming in his ancestral home also caused a sensation throughout Lin Village.

Many people patted their chests, saying that if they had known that Lin Hong's ancestral home really contained such a valuable antique landscape painting, they would have secretly come over long ago and even demolished Lin Hong's ancestral home to find that landscape painting.

About an hour later, Yang Xun followed Lin Hong back to the county town and went to a high-end restaurant for a meal.

Inside the private room, Lin Hong repeatedly raised his glass to toast Yang Xun, and Yang Xun returned the toast with several drinks.

Li Mei also raised her glass, looking at Yang Xun with respect as she apologized: "Anchor Yang, I misunderstood you before. I apologize to you. I'll drink this glass."

Li Shui also raised his glass: "Anchor Yang, I thought my brother-in-law was tricked by you when you invited me here. I didn't expect you to be such a capable person. You've never failed to find a pet, and now you've even helped my brother-in-law find a landscape painting quickly. Anchor Yang, I'm sorry, I'll drink this glass too."

"You're too kind."

Yang Xun humbly accepted their apologies.

Lin Hong turned to his wife and brother-in-law and said, "Amei, Ashui, do you believe me now? I was able to invite Yang the anchor because he gave me face and because I'm a fan. Otherwise, so many people in the live stream wanted to invite Yang, but we couldn't."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The two men were even more impressed with Lin Hong and Yang Xun.

"Oh, I forgot."

Lin Hong then slapped his forehead, took out his phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to Yang Xun: "Yang, look at my memory, I almost gave you a thank-you fee. Yang, please don't think this 100,000 yuan is too little, please accept it."

Yang Xun was taken aback: "Brother Hong, didn't we agree on a reward of 50,000 yuan? Why did you transfer 100,000 yuan to me?"

Lin Hong said with a hint of embarrassment, "Anchor Yang, you helped me find the landscape painting in my ancestral home right away, and you weren't even tempted. How could I be stingy? Anchor Yang, I owe you a favor. If you ever need my help in the future, just call me 'brother'."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Hong."

Yang Xun no longer stood on ceremony and accepted the 100,000 yuan.

As for Lin Hong's claim that he wasn't tempted, that's a lie.

However, this is a commissioned search mission, and the system does not allow any cheating; otherwise, he will lose the object-finding system.

Compared to the object detection system, landscape paintings might sell for millions or tens of millions, but there's also the risk of being exposed and sent to jail. Yang Xun is very clear about which is more important.

Moreover, the object-finding system can now help people find not only pets but also various items. Making money is easy, so there's no need to take risks.

Before long, an hour had passed, and the meal was finally over.

Slightly tipsy, Yang Xun went back to the star-rated hotel with the designated driver, took a shower, and then lay down to rest.

He didn't get up until eight o'clock the next morning.

After washing up, he sat on the sofa, took out his phone, opened his live streaming account, and took a good look at the income from yesterday's live product exploration.

It wasn't a lot. After sharing the profits with the platform, he received about three thousand yuan. Adding Lin Hong's thank-you fee of one hundred thousand yuan, his savings reached four hundred thousand yuan.

Yang Xun was slightly excited for a moment, then his eyes widened as he saw that his private messages had once again reached 99+.

After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly opened the private messages.

Almost all of these private messages were requests for help finding various pet items, and for a moment, he didn't know who to answer.

Moreover, these people who send private messages come from all over the country. Going directly to their territories seems a bit unsafe, and there's no guarantee that it will trigger an object search, which would waste a lot of time.

So he replied to all the private messages asking him to search for and retrieve the items.

"Hello friends, I can't grant your requests online. If you really want me to come and help you find something, you should first come to my coastal town to talk to me in person. Only then can I decide whether or not I can come to help you find it."

After replying, Yang Xun wanted to chat more with the netizens who sent him private messages, but when Lin Hong called, he answered the phone.

"Hey Yang, are you up yet? I'm already waiting for you at the restaurant for breakfast. You're not going back so soon today, are you?"

Yang Xun thought for a moment and said, "Brother Hong, I'm already up. I'll come over and have breakfast with you. After breakfast, I'll be heading back. As you know, as a live streamer, I'm quite busy and can't stay here with you for long."

Lin Hong: "Okay, then Yang, come over and let's have breakfast together."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xun drove to the restaurant where Lin Hong was to have a hearty breakfast together.

"Anchor Yang, these are some local specialties from our area. Please don't find them too cheap."

After breakfast, Lin Hong had various bags and boxes of fruits and agricultural products delivered and loaded into Yang Xun's car.

"Brother Hong, you're too kind. Brother Hong, it's getting late, I have to go."

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Yang Xun accepted the local specialties, got into his car, waved to Lin Hong outside, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

But before they even returned to the coastal town, Chu Tai called them.

"Xiao Yang, I never knew you had such skills. You could even find the landscape painting hidden in someone else's ancestral home. Xiao Yang, are you back yet? I'll introduce you to a big business deal with a reward of 100,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xun excitedly asked, "Elder Chu, I'm almost back. What big deal is it? Elder Chu, please tell me in detail."
