Tang, whom my grandfather had called in, wasn't very familiar with Ming Hongwu-era blue-and-white porcelain either.

This kind of thing was simply too rare on the market.

In the early years, even if there were some blue-and-white official kiln pieces from the Hongwu period, most of them were taken into the Qing Dynasty's warehouses, some were seized by robbers, and the rest ended up in museums.

If you wanted to find relevant authoritative experts, the best way was still to get someone from the Forbidden City.

However, even in this year 2000, porcelain was still king in the Chinese antique market.

Calligraphy and paintings couldn't fetch a good price. Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian paintings worth hundreds of thousands weren't considered rare in Liulichang, Beijing, and were casually hung in glass cabinets for display.

This was even more so when Mr. Tang was running his antique shop.

Many mainland porcelain pieces flowed into Hong Kong through various channels, which, over time, allowed him to make connections by analogy. Even if he couldn't explain the reason, his eyesight and experience were still far above ordinary people.

In the end, Mr. Tang only dared to confirm that even if it wasn't a Hongwu blue-and-white official kiln piece, it was most likely a blue-and-white porcelain from the late Yuan Dynasty. It could be considered a high-quality, open-and-shut vase, worthy of collection.

Hearing this, Su Yehao felt a bit more confident.

He planned to wait until he returned to Hong Kong to find a few more knowledgeable people from Beijing to avoid the embarrassment of displaying a fake at home.

It was a little after nine o'clock local time.

Su Yehao originally thought he was sleepy, but after lying on the bed, he only slept for a little over an hour before he was fully recharged and full of energy.

With nothing to do.

He simply took the game disc left by Mr. Tang and went to the study in the suite to turn on the computer.

Nangong Tian was brushing her teeth at the moment, and said vaguely:

"I've figured it out. Coming here to help you appraise was secondary. He clearly had a premeditated plan to ask for your help. Otherwise, why would he bring the game developed by his son? If you only recoup two hundred thousand dollars, wouldn't it be reasonable to sell a game for forty dollars? Doesn't that mean he's only sold five thousand copies? The appraisal fee you gave him was such a waste."

Looking through the game box, Su Yehao said with a smile:

"You guessed wrong. The price is actually ninety-nine dollars, no wonder the sales aren't good. Helping is helping, appraising is appraising, they're two different things. My grandfather's reputation is more important..."

After reading the manual, he found that it was actually a management simulation online game.

The game includes various images of beautiful women and handsome men, and you can even raise pets. It also provides services such as visiting and exchanging resources between players. At the same time, it also adds features such as planting and stealing vegetables, raising cattle and sheep, etc., so it may have borrowed from the tvt farm mini-game during development.

Most of the games on the market nowadays are about fighting and killing, focusing on stimulation.

A game like this, which is fresh and clean, and also an online game, seems very unappealing just from the description.

Online fees are so expensive these days, and people's daily lives are relatively rich. The otaku culture of interacting over the Internet hasn't become popular yet.

Unlike later, when communication became convenient but interpersonal relationships became extremely distant, a game like this undoubtedly seems very niche. Moreover, it only provides an English version, clearly aimed at the American market, so the positioning seems to be a bit problematic.

After reading the introduction, Su Yehao immediately felt that it might be popular in Japan.

He spent some time installing it.

When registering, you can choose between white, black, Asian, and Latino characters. The characters are not only divided into male and female, but also provide adjustment functions for face shape, hairstyle, hair color, pupil color, and body shape.

Although the modeling is relatively simple, the development team is quite attentive. Look at that voluptuous white blonde, the body proportions are quite aesthetically pleasing.

The Asian female characters are also sexy.

Looking at her, she had a slight resemblance to Yin Liuli, especially the nurse's uniform, which always made Su Yehao feel familiar.

The game provides four registration locations, located in Yellowstone Park, Miami Beach, New York Manhattan, and the Las Vegas Desert. Su Yehao realized after reading the introduction that choosing Miami actually allows you to fish, while going to Yellowstone Park allows you to hunt.

This wasn't mentioned in the manual, so it could barely be considered a small surprise.

Choosing a character and registering in Yellowstone Park is nothing more than a picture of a log cabin, plus a cartoon wilderness background. The patterns are quite exquisite, but compared to online games like *Half-Life*, the technology is already worlds apart.

Recently, Valve Game Company burned more than 60 million US dollars of Su Yehao's money to create the world's most advanced game engine. It is said that the next generation of online games will show a huge breakthrough progress, and even the well-known Blizzard Entertainment is trying to win the technical authorization of the game engine.

The character guidance dialogue seems very American, guiding step by step to reclaim land and plant vegetables. The character will also encounter unsolvable problems, suggesting seeking help from other adventurers.

Sometimes a deer pops up. After killing it, you can get fresh venison, and you can even grow cotton for making other styles of new clothes...

Su Yehao had an attitude of just trying it out. Although there was nothing new, the overall experience of the game was a bit beyond his expectations.

He finally understood why Mr. Tang's son burned more than two million US dollars even with a partner. At least Su Yehao hadn't encountered a more abundant and complete management simulation game than this so far.

Clicking on other players' territories on the map will show an animation of the character packing things up and riding a horse to someone else's house. That shaking, undulating movement... was really conscientious.

He was so engrossed in playing that he didn't even notice Jiang Yu appearing next to him.

Jiang Yu happened to see that animation. The size of the game character was a despair she could never reach in her life.

Therefore.

Flicking Su Yehao's head with her finger, Jiang Yu glared at him and said, "Heh, men are really all the same. You don't go watch Nangong take a bath, but you're so fascinated by the game?"

Utter embarrassment.

Su Yehao quibbled:

"I'm just deeply experiencing this game. It seems quite interesting, like this dynamic, how conscientiously it's made? If it was like a rock, it would seem very unreal, but now it can enhance the player's sense of immersion. It's not that I'm interested in the game, I'd rather spend that time looking at how beautiful you are, but the potential consumer groups are different, they will definitely like it."

Jiang Yu put her hands on her hips and added angrily: "You just said it during the day, and you've already slipped up again. The more guilty you are, the more you talk."

"...You come try it out, anyway, this game is about to die, maybe spending a little money will let me get a bargain. If subsequent investment is added to optimize and upgrade it, it may create a series, creating a game world that casual players like."

After imagining it, Su Yehao clicked his tongue and said:

"That's a bit difficult, it's like completely overturning and redeveloping it. For example, these pictures, it's better to make them three-dimensional. For the time being, add a function to save pictures, like a travel check-in, collecting beautiful scenery."

Jiang Yu still didn't like this blonde white girl, but that didn't stop her from obediently sitting down and trying out the game with the mouse.

Secretly, she finally believed her good friend's statement about Su Yehao possibly liking white girls.

Thinking carefully, like father, like son.

Jiang Yu knew Su's father's former mistress, Fourth Mistress Jin Siniao.

Completely unaware that he was affected by his father and lying down after being innocently shot, Su Yehao was currently rejoicing that he had escaped a disaster.
