Chapter 549: Jubilant! They’re All Mine!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The question that sparked curiosity across both China and the Land of the Rising Sun revolved around a single notion:

Would Luo Feng be able to claim these numerous treasures?

Their worth was substantial, to say the least.

Even laymen, oblivious to the intricacies of antiquities, could grasp the inherent value of gold and silver.

These treasures held astronomical value.

“If the host, and his partners, were under a contract to unearth specific items, wouldn’t those finds belong to the streamer?”

“That proposition wouldn’t hold water either!”

“Consider this, the property hasn’t been claimed for ages! In Japan, unclaimed properties typically default to government ownership. Once the state stakes its claim, any finds by the streamer become moot. This isn’t some unmarked burial ground; it’s a house!”

“So, to strip it down to its essence, the streamer can’t claim any of these treasures, correct?”

As for such arguments.

They were innumerable.

The consensus was that Luo Feng’s chances of retaining these treasures were virtually non -existent.

“Alas, enough with the questions, it’s heart-wrenching!”

“True, so in this round, Luo Feng loses. He’s merely assisting the Japanese government in treasure hunting!”

“That’s the crux, our only hope is that the locals show some goodwill, and offer a share to the host. Without Luo Feng, these treasures would have remained hidden for who knows how long!”

“Heh, do you seriously believe the locals would be generous enough to share half with the streamer? If they gift him a few pieces of ceramics, that would already be a fortune!”

“Half? You’re living in a fantasy, why not ask for everything? What’s on your mind?”

On Luo Feng’s end, the search proceeded.

Yet, the live stream was flooded with criticisms and expletives.

“Listen here, host, cease your search, please. These artifacts are beyond your reach, you can’t claim them no matter how many you find!!”

“Frankly, I am genuinely disappointed today. I’d prefer if the host stumbled upon fewer treasures!”

“I share the sentiment, it’s a first for me!” “The idea of our artifacts falling into local hands is repugnant!”

Watching everyone voice such opinions.

Luo Feng feigned ignorance.

He resumed his treasure hunt.

In contrast, the sentiment in China was predominantly resentful.

Meanwhile, the director of the Tokyo Museum couldn’t contain his joy.

“Hahaha, such an abundance of artifacts now belong to us?”

“Indeed, Director, I fail to grasp why Luo Feng is persisting with his search.

Isn’t he just laboring for our benefit?”

“True, Luo Feng did hit the jackpot in Hiroshima last time. But this time, it’s a different story. He’s forever a laborer!”

“Hahaha, Director, you’re familiar with this Chinese internet slang!” “Of course, I find China’s quirky internet slang quite fascinating!” “Keep it up, Luo Feng, give it all you got! Unearth more artifacts!”

Just then, Kawashima Miyuki, who was standing off to the side, furrowed her brows in deep thought.

She was aware that Luo Feng had been seeking this location in Nara.

And now he had discovered it.

It was a trove of artifacts.

But this site was officially commandeered by Japan.

Anything found would default to Japan.

Could there be an unexpected turn of events?

At any rate, she was concerned that Luo Feng wouldn’t be able to keep these artifacts.

If he could, she would have been less troubled.

“Let’s set off, Kawashima Miyuki, we’re heading to Nara!”

“What are we supposed to do there?” Kawashima Miyuki inquired nonchalantly, somewhat perplexed.

“Hehe, aren’t you curious to know who these artifacts will belong to?” The director queried with a grin.

“I’m clueless about their ownership!” Kawashima Miyuki expressed her desire to learn about the potential owners.

“All these items, they’re located on a farm, and clearly, the farm is government-owned. Hence, the artifacts naturally default to Japan. As part of Japan, they’re spread across various museums under its jurisdiction. If we make the first move, we could claim the most desirable artifacts for our museum. It’s all about who acts first!”

The director chortled.

He was convinced that, at this moment, many people harbored similar intentions.

But they needed to act promptly.

Or else, the opportunity would slip through their fingers.

“As the ownership falls under the government, we don’t need to hoard when we get there. We’ll just pick a few hundred standout pieces to display in our museum!”

Not just the Tokyo Museum, other museums were also raring to get in on the action.

However, none were as quick off the mark as the Nara Museum.

The staff there were all smiles.

Being the first to arrive, they were guaranteed to reap the benefits, but given their museum’s relative obscurity, they couldn’t hoard too much.

Still, they could cherry-pick a few exceptional pieces, couldn’t they?

After all, proximity to the water doesn’t matter unless you possess an appropriate vessel to contain it.

If the visitor flow is sparse, then having a large number of remarkable artifacts is fruitless if there aren’t enough people to appreciate them.

By comparison.

The Tokyo Museum was the most renowned, and naturally, would receive preferential treatment from the government.

The number of artifacts discovered this time around, frankly, was the most extensive in national history.

Even the previous find in Luo Feng’s basement didn’t yield such a bounty..
