Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

[Perceive host needs and experience mission release time advanced]

[Experience Mission 2/3: Collect Two Vertex Emerald Phoenix Crowns]

[Grade requirements: Collection grade]

[Current progress: 0/2]

[Time limit: 5 days]

[Reward: Unknown]

As several system prompt sounds rang out, several system messages appeared on the virtual panel in front of Bai Xi.

New mission!

The reward for the first mission was already so generous, so the second one would surely not be much worse. Bai Xi was delighted, but she quickly calmed herself down and began to carefully study the new mission released by the system.

The second experience task at hand has additional grade requirements and time limits compared to the first experience task released by the system. The time limit is understandable, but this.

"Collection grade?"

Bai Xi muttered to himself.

Obviously, the system began to increase the difficulty. She didn't know whether the system discovered that she had cheated in the first task, or whether it was set up like this. But now, it was definitely unrealistic to imagine completing the first task by simply buying a few lowest-level gems in the raw material market and trying to get away with it. Otherwise, this system would not need to be called the Collector System, but could be renamed the Scrap Recycling Station.

“But how do you define collectibles…”

Bai Xi was a little distressed. She was neither an appraiser nor a collector, so the judgment at this level was a bit vague.

【ding~】

Another system message popped up in front of her, but before Bai Xi had time to take a closer look, Van Cleef & Arpels' manager David trotted towards her with a pile of documents.

"Ms. Bai Xi, I'm sorry to bother you for a moment. Here are some documents that require your signature."

Next, we will verify the receipt, register for the highest-level VIP membership, sign a series of documents in both Chinese and English, and listen to David explain after-sales service and maintenance matters.

After everything was done, David clapped his hands again, and a waiter presented him with a necklace made of 18K gold and a pendant in the shape of a carnelian petal on satin.

"Ms. Baixi, this is a small gift from our store. May Van Cleef & Arpels add a little bit of brilliance to your face."

Vintage Alhambra pendant, Bai Xi also had one in his previous life, but it was a high imitation. Even after ten years, this necklace still cost tens of thousands of dollars, but now it is just a gift.

"Thank you. Please pack it for me. Oh, and do you have a regular handbag?"

She had to go back to school late, and the habits she developed in her previous life made her subconsciously choose to keep a low profile.

But this behavior undoubtedly increased David's suspicion of her identity, because in Xia Country, the truly powerful people all have this low-key travel style.

"Yes, please wait a moment, we will pack it for you right away."

David nodded respectfully and turned to get ready.

......

After coming out of the Van Cleef & Arpels store carrying a handbag, Bai Xi was about to turn left to go to the Breguet store.

But halfway through the walk, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a system message prompt just now, so I quickly called out the system panel.

The above is the explanation of the collection level.

【Collection level: Collections with certain historical, artistic, and cultural value.】

Originally, Bai Xi was just talking to herself, but she didn't expect the system to give her a direct answer.

However, after seeing the system's answer, Bai Xi had some idea in his mind.

Isn’t this an antique!

But when it comes to antiques, it seems the waters are quite deep. Before she was reborn, there was a big treasure appraiser who was set up by someone and directly withdrew from the treasure appraisal industry.

Wait, antiques?

Bai Xi's eyes suddenly lit up and he took out a business card from his pocket.

Lu An, General Manager of Poly Auction House's Shanghai Office

Isn't this already available?

Poly Auction will be one of the four major auction houses in the future. At this time, in order to establish its brand, it will definitely strictly ensure authenticity.

Thinking of this, Bai Xi no longer hesitated and decisively entered the phone number and pressed the dial button.

......

Plaza 66 underground parking lot.

"Brother! Why did you pull me away? It's not like our family can't afford it! I finally got home to celebrate my birthday!"

Lu Shiyao was still upset about Lu An not buying her a bracelet. When she reached the underground parking lot, she couldn't help it and shook off Lu An's hand.

"Yaoyao, that girl just now might be the daughter of the Jiangdong Bai family. The Bai family's power is not comparable to ours. There is no need to offend them for a piece of jewelry."

"Don't you like Cartier? Let's go check out theirs."

Lu An's patient explanation did not gain Lu Shiyao's understanding, but made her even more angry.

"I don't want it! I want that! Daddy said I can buy whatever I want!"

"What's the point of the Bai family's daughter? She's wearing cheap clothes! I wonder if everything she wears is worth even a hundred dollars!"

"Maybe she's someone else's mistress, and she got the jewelry in exchange for sex!"

"Lu Shiyao!"

Lu An interrupted Lu Shiyao in a stern tone, looked around to see if anyone heard him, then turned around and stared at her seriously.

"If she is really the daughter of the Bai family, what you just said will bring unnecessary trouble to the Lu family, do you understand?"

"Woo~ You're mean to me! I'm going to tell Dad!"

Looking at Lu Shiyao who turned and ran away, the sister who was found by her parents a few years ago and was spoiled to death, Lu An's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he signaled the bodyguard to follow her and not let her get into trouble.

I returned to the nanny car, closed my eyes and rested for a while, then prepared to go back to the company.

At this moment, his phone rang.

"Hello, I'm Lu An."

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm Bai Xi. I just met you at Van Cleef & Arpels."

"Oh, hello, Miss Bai. What can I do for you?"

Could it be that Yaoyao went back to look for her? Lu An had some bad guesses in his mind and sat up straighter.

"Ah, nothing much. I just saw that you are the person in charge of Poly Auction. I just want to buy two antiques and wanted to ask if you have any channels."

"What antique do you want?"

"I want two of these kingfisher-inlaid phoenix crowns. The older the better."

A phoenix crown inlaid with kingfisher feathers?

Lu An frowned. He knew this. The most famous one was the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crown of Empress Xiaoduan of the Ming Dynasty in the National Museum, which was one of the treasures of the museum. However, he didn't seem to have heard of it in other places.

"We don't have this at our auction house, but I can help you contact some collectors."

"Okay, please hurry up. I need it urgently. The price and commission are negotiable."

"No problem. Wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Lu An pinched his brows, picked up his phone and made a call.

"Uncle, can you help me ask anyone in this circle who has a emerald phoenix crown?"

"Also, let's check if the daughter of the Jiangdong Bai family has come to the Magic City."
