Superstars of Tomorrow Chapter 497 - Something Even More Insane

Chapter 497: Something Even More Insane

Fang Zhao’s little island became lively once again as experts from all the various continents gathered. Some teams had already started on cleaning the retrieved ceramics. Of course, experts had different opinions on the suitable level of restoration. Sometimes, the blemishes themselves had historical research value.

Culture loss was taken very seriously. Fang Zhao’s find was priceless because it filled gaps in cultural relics.

“Too many are damaged.” The restoration team felt their hearts ache tenderly.

Although there were several thousand porcelain pieces, only a few hundred were completely intact. But, this could already be considered fortunate. Some were already damaged at the depths of the ocean, while others were damaged in the salvage process. Of course, the Inter-planetary Fund’s salvage crew had already greatly minimized the degree of damage already.

However, even if the ceramics were damaged or shattered, they still held research value. In a world that lacked cultural relics, even fragments had to be safeguarded properly.

Museum representatives from various continents came over to try to set up a collaboration with Fang Zhao.

This wasn’t their first time dealing with Fang Zhao. The collaboration with the Poseidonsaur had satisfied everyone. These people had a deep understanding of Fang Zhao’s character and knew that Fang Zhao was interested in collaboration given that he had called them over.

However, never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that Fang Zhao would donate these relics.

“D-Donating… for real?”

Yanzhou Museum’s curator nearly bit his own tongue by accident.

Seated beside, Lanzhou Museum’s curator, who normally carried a dignified air, heard a resounding *clink* as his teeth hit his cup.

Curators and representatives from continental and private museums alike all stared at Fang Zhao intently.

Bruce Museum’s curator tried to hide the excitement in his voice. “Have you… thought this through? These are ancient relics worth more than a hundred billion!”

Fang Zhao nodded. “I’ve already thought about it.”

“Oh! This decision is really admirable! Please accept our Bruce Museum’s most sincere thanks! This means a lot to us! On behalf of Bruce Museum, I promise you that these historical treasures will receive the most proper care!”

The others quickly reacted and also expressed their thanks towards Fang Zhao.

There was another wave of flattery and praise.

Of course, Fang Zhao didn’t donate everything unconditionally. He put forward some requests regarding artifact conservation and future research. Since Fang Zhao was willing to donate such precious artifacts, they were naturally willing to accept the terms.

Some curators even volunteered to help when Fang Zhao talked about applying for land for his own private exhibition hall. Applying for land to build a private collection hall wasn’t an easy matter. With help from the various curators, the audit process would become much easier.

The decision to donate the ceramics wasn’t related to his private collection hall. The private collection hall was a small matter that he would be able to accomplish even without help from the various curators. In reality, he donated the relics because he wanted them to be properly cared for.

Fang Zhao didn’t have the s.p.a.ce or time for ceramics. For the near future, his primary focus would still be on music. He definitely couldn’t match relic preservation specialists. Partnering with professionals to handle the relics would take too much work, and things could always go wrong.

On the other hand, these museums would surely treat the artifacts well.

The relics were a treasure that belonged to the entirety of humankind.

They were precious treasures that carried human culture and history!

Making them available to the public maximized their utility. No matter what happened, people would still remember these resplendent items.

After detailed discussions, the relics were transported to the various continents.

The museums officially announced Fang Zhao’s donation once they fully appraised all the historical relics.

To acknowledge their importance, every continent’s governor personally presented a certificate of honor to Fang Zhao during the official donation ceremony.

Related topics once again sprang to the headlines in all the various continents.

“Fang Zhao donated again!!!”

“Undiscovered treasures excavated! A beacon to pa.s.s on past culture! Fang Zhao donates relics worth hundred billion!”

Practically everyone who saw this news had very complex sentiments.

Many people had said Fang Zhao was foolish after he donated his few billions the previous time. Now, they didn’t really know what to say anymore.

Those who had envied Fang Zhao for gaining an instant fortune from the relics now felt their eyeb.a.l.l.s popping out of their sockets.

They…

They were all donated just like that?

Their hearts ached even though they were non-partic.i.p.ants watching the news!

“This really isn’t showing off! Who could bear to give away relics worth hundreds of millions just to show off?!”

“Given Fang Zhao’s current reputation, there isn’t any need for him to show off in such a manner.”

“What a display! Although he might not have an array of a.s.sistants and bodyguards at his beck and call, he should be the only celebrity in entertainment circles who can get the twelve continent governors to personally issue him an honorary certificate, right?”

“This really isn’t something easy to achieve.”

Great-grandfather Fang was silent for quite some time when he saw news articles like “Fang Zhao donates relics worth hundreds of billions”. He sighed. He felt like it was a pity, but even more so, he felt proud.

And when he found the photograph of Fang Zhao with all those continent governors, the corners of Great-grandfather Fang’s lips curled upwards. He started to circulate them in all his chat groups.

Look!

My Little Zhao is just so enlightened!

No wonder he was chosen to be the amba.s.sador of the Outer s.p.a.ce Immigration Plan.

At Fang Zhao’s island.

Nanfeng stood at the sh.o.r.e, gazing far at the ocean. His entire body was rigid like a stone that had weathered many storms.

He had stood here a few days ago watching people from the various continent museums transport these artifacts away. Even now, he clutched his chest every time he saw the news.

This blow was really too much for him!

It was upsetting!

Even though these relics weren’t his, Nanfeng had both seen and touched them. Now, these relics worth hundreds of billions had flown away from his hands to far off places, never to return.

How his heart ached!

“Say, how do you think Boss is able to maintain such a calm att.i.tude? Just one of those bowls could be equivalent to a room in the heart of Huangzhou’s Huangcheng! Is he really not a tiny bit reluctant? Does he really not find it a pity?!”

Has he gotten hooked on donating?!

Even if it was to maintain his image as amba.s.sador of the Outer s.p.a.ce Immigration Plan, the costs were also too high!

Nanfeng couldn’t understand, but he didn’t dare ask Fang Zhao. Thus, he could only grumble to Yan Biao and Zuo Yu.

“What kind of great shock has Boss suffered before to stay so calm?”

As he vented all of his complex emotions, Nanfeng turned around and saw his two colleagues, who were standing there calmly.

Inexplicable!!

“How are you two able to be this calm as well?” Nanfeng studied Yan Biao’s expression carefully. “Are you really not putting up an act?”

Yan Biao spoke, “You might not believe it, but I have seen even more insane stuff.”

“What can be even more insane? Tell me.”

Nanfeng didn’t believe it. What could be even more insane than giving away historical artifacts worth hundreds of billions immediately?
