Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 426: Northern Wei Blue Glass Bowl

Sometimes, Chen Yiyang can’t quite understand what these Europeans are thinking.

Through Wu Changxun’s words, Chen Yiyang learned that the latest Assassin’s Creed game is set in Japan.

That should have been a good thing.

After all, the purchasing power of players in Japan is quite strong, and the Assassin’s Creed series had been relying on sales from Europe and America.

Now that there’s a game set in Japan, it might sell many copies in Japan.

But Ubisoft actually made the main character a Black warrior.

This Black warrior walks down the street, and Japanese NPCs around him even bow to him.

And the Black warrior has many romance lines.

Chen Yiyang doesn’t know what the Japanese will think, but he himself finds it a bit hard to accept.

This is not discrimination, but a kind of historical reconstruction and humiliation.

For example, during Huaxia’s Great Tang period, there were indeed many white people from the Middle East living in the capital, and some even held official positions.

But they were just supporting characters of that era.

You can’t forcibly elevate these side characters to the position of the protagonist to present to the players.

It’s like saying that even in that era, these foreigners could have the high status and identity of a colonizer.

"Isn’t this just asking for trouble?" Chen Yiyang couldn’t accept it and said directly, "I feel like if I ask my friends in Japan for this favor, it’s as if I’m insulting them."

"Then forget it." Wu Changxun was also quite helpless. "I’ll let them know. The uproar outside is too big, hopefully, Ubisoft can change the game’s plot."

"By the way," Chen Yiyang suddenly asked curiously, "I’ve heard rumors online that when Tengxu requests foreign game studios to make games for them, they insist the female protagonist has to be a busty beauty. Is that true?"

"Cough, cough, cough." Wu Changxun coughed a few times upon hearing Chen Yiyang’s question before saying, "Isn’t this a requirement that any normal person would make?"

Great minds think alike.

Chen Yiyang and Wu Changxun both shared a knowing smile.

After completing the investment in the card game.

Chen Yiyang comfortably spent a couple of weeks in Lin’an.

He also stumbled upon a quite beautiful Northern Wei artifact, a Northern Wei Blue Glass Bowl.

The original glass-making technique for these blue glass bowls came from Rome.

During the Northern Wei period, there were five recorded visits by Roman envoys to the Northern Wei.

These Roman envoys brought with them glassware that was popular in Rome at the time.

After learning the glass-making techniques from these wares, Northern Wei craftsmen produced the Northern Wei Blue Glass Bowl.

The glass-made bowls have crossed a thousand years of history and even in modern times, are considered high in artistic content. Even without any special effects, the pictures taken of them look dreamy.

Chen Yiyang carefully stored them in his home’s collection room.

With more and more artifacts he finds and collects, even the extra rooms in the villa Chen Yiyang bought before that are now used as collection rooms are almost out of space.

The historian who occasionally came to Chen Yiyang’s place said that compared to the museum’s warehouse, Chen Yiyang’s collection room looked empty.

Fortunately, the idea that the historian mentioned before about helping Chen Yiyang build a personal museum has made significant progress.

The land for the private museum has already been approved, and Chen Yiyang has also found a construction team to start the preliminary work.

But for the entire museum to be fully constructed, it will probably take about two years.

So Chen Yiyang plans to buy another house to store the artifacts he finds in the future.

"How about buying a large flat apartment?" The little accountant said while painting her toenails. "A large flat in the city would make the commute easier. Although the villa is big, if there’s a traffic jam, it takes a long time to get from the villa to the company."

"Can you not show your feet while I’m eating?" Chen Yiyang complained while eating breakfast at the table.

Because the little accountant was on the other side of the dining table, painting her nails with shoes and socks off.

At this moment, Chen Yiyang thought there was some advantage to the little accountant having one less leg. It meant that painting her toenails was a bit quicker.

"I just washed them, they’re fragrant, it shouldn’t affect your appetite." The little accountant rolled her eyes.

"If they’re that fragrant, you should coat them in batter and deep fry them."

Chen Yiyang said as he looked at the little accountant’s feet.

Perhaps due to good care, the little accountant’s feet were white and tender, with slender ankles and prominent ankle bones, overall long and reddish.

From Chen Yiyang’s angle, he could even see the slight blue veins protruding on the arch of her foot.

"What are you looking at?" The little accountant noticed Chen Yiyang’s gaze and suddenly looked up.

"There’s no dead skin on your toes, is it because of lack of exercise?"

"It’s because I take good care of them, unlike you big guys, whose feet are like tree bark."

"That’s slander." Chen Yiyang immediately stuck out his leg and said, "Take off your socks and look yourself. My feet have nothing to do with tree bark."

"I don’t want to see, it’s disgusting." The little accountant turned and hopped away, carrying her prosthetic limb.

?

Chen Yiyang wanted to shout out, who was the one just asking me to look at their feet while I was eating?

Choosing not to argue with women, Chen Yiyang focused on finishing his meal.

After he finished breakfast, he checked his phone and saw a message from Gong Fan, asking Chen Yiyang to call him when he had the time.

So Chen Yiyang found a couch to lie down on and called Gong Fan.

"I’m running into a bit of trouble," Gong Fan said. "Since Earth Wandering 2’s post-production is almost done, I’m planning to release it during the Spring Festival.

But when negotiating with the theaters, I met some challenges. The slots the theaters are offering aren’t very favorable."

"What’s going on exactly?" Chen Yiyang was puzzled.

Earth Wandering 1 grossed over five billion in box office revenue.

A film with that kind of box office is rare domestically. Now that the second one is about to release, all the major theaters should be offering their best slots to Earth Wandering 2.

"I talked to the people at the theaters. Their reason for not giving us good slots is because Zhang Yimou’s Full River Red, even if it means losing control, is also releasing, and the best slots are all going to his movie."

"In recent years, Zhang Yimou’s films have all grossed around a billion. Why would the theaters give the best slots to him instead of Earth Wandering 2?"

"The theaters gave two reasons that sound somewhat reasonable." Gong Fan was quite helpless.

"One is that Earth Wandering 2 is too long, and giving it too many slots would reduce the number of showtimes the theater can schedule, affecting the theater’s revenue.

The second is that Full River Red is a family-friendly movie, suitable for the whole family to watch during the Spring Festival. Earth Wandering 2 is a sci-fi film, with a smaller target audience."
