Leveling Up With My Pet

Liu Yong was familiar with the route and confidently opened the door and entered the warehouse. Once inside, he made sure to close the door behind him.

Upon entering the warehouse, Liu Yong noticed some items scattered on the floor that was still damp, indicating that the Overlord had recently stored them and left in a hurry.

Without being noticed, Liu Yong hastened his pace and quickly arrived at the side of the scattered items. His previously composed demeanor was now unsettled.

The items scattered on the floor were some of the most valuable possessions from the warship, and they were the result of the Overlord's hard work. Yet, there they were, all laid out before Liu Yong.

Liu Yong examined the items and picked up two pieces of polychrome porcelain. His priority was to check if they had a distinct style. Upon inspecting the first colored porcelain bottle, he noticed that the bottom of the bottle was coated in black lacquer, indicating a lack of class. This realization left him feeling somewhat disappointed.

He then picked up another item, a colored porcelain dish with a diameter of around 150. However, the bottom of the word was dirty, and there was dirt on other parts.

Liu Yong attempted to clean the bottom of the dish by wiping off the dirt, but it proved stubborn and challenging to remove. He could only remove a small amount of the soil despite his efforts.

After examining the dish, Liu Yong concluded that it was likely, not valuable and possibly produced from a folk kiln.

Folk kiln products are typically less valuable than official kiln products. They are usually worth only a few thousand, tens of thousands, or at most one or two hundred thousand. In contrast, official kiln products can be much more valuable.

Upon examining the dish again, Liu Yong noticed it was relatively intact, a slight surprise amidst the disappointments. While the plate appeared complete, it was covered in mud and black residue and would require cleaning.

After looking at these two pieces of colored porcelain, Liu Yong picked up other things to look at. A gold flintlock gun, about 30 centimeters long, weighs about 4 or 5 kilograms.

A gold pocket watch requires cleaning if it has been submerged in mud on the seabed for an extended period.

After a rough count, Liu Yong determined that there were 17 gold coins and 52 silver coins. Based on the patterns and text on the coins, he concluded that Western countries issued gold coins.

Liu Yong needed to be more knowledgeable about the gold and silver coins then and required an expert appraisal to understand their value.

Liu Yong examined the items and placed them in the trunk of his off-road vehicle. Though the number of items was small, he felt a sense of satisfaction and unexpected gain, as they were likely to hold some value.

"It's not a bad unexpected harvest," thought Liu Yong to himself. After driving directly back to his villa, he was alone at home. He began cleaning the items with a fine-bristled brush, taking great care.

Clean the gold and silver ingots, and dry them on the table individually.

Their appearance could be more regular, especially the silver ingots, which are not as beautiful as the ancient silver ingots seen on TV. They are a little black, but they are 100% silver ingots.

Liu Yong discovered seven tightly packed gold nuggets of various sizes. He used an electronic scale to weigh them and found that the giant ingot weighed 1560 grams, equivalent to 50 taels, while the smallest nugget weighed 310 grams, equal to ten taels. Two of the bars were ten taels each.

Liu Yong roughly calculated,

"Well, the total weight of the seven gold ingots is nearly 7,000 grams. Now the recycling price of gold is more than 400. The recycling price of gold ingots must be much higher than 400. They are worth several million at least."

"It seems like a valuable find," thought Liu Yong.

"With several million, I could buy a good car," he mused but decided he had no immediate plans. His company had recently acquired a new Cullinan. Coupled with his current big G, he felt he had enough vehicles.

Liu Yong washed all the gold and silver ingots and placed them on a table to dry. He then cleaned the other items, including the gold and silver coins.

Carefully wash one by one; each is washed clean and neatly placed on the table to dry.

Liu picked up the gold watch and looked at it. There were also a lot of dark things. Clean the surface first.

As Liu Yong continued his examination of the items, he observed that the craftsmanship of the gold watch was exceptionally refined. It was impressive to see such intricate artistry on a look that was over a century old.

Considering the watch had been at the bottom of the sea for over a hundred years, there was likely a significant amount of dirt and debris inside.

After thinking about it, Liu Yong found tools and carefully opened the gold watch. To his surprise, there was not much dirt except water, which was relatively clean.

Liu Yong noticed that the alloy parts within the watch, such as the gears, were still intact, with only a minor amount of rust on the surface. Before carefully closing the gold watch, he dried the water using paper towels and cotton swabs. However, he knew the look required a professional assessment and possible repair before functioning again.

After examining the pocket watch closely for a long time, Liu Yong concluded that it was in excellent condition with no signs of damage. It looked almost brand new, with a shiny golden appearance after cleaning. The only noticeable flaw was the slight yellowing of the original white dial.

Uncertain of the pocket watch's value, Liu Yong sought advice by taking several pictures of the look from different angles using his mobile phone. He then posted the images on his Douyin account with a caption asking for knowledgeable individuals to identify the pocket watch.

After verifying that the post was uploaded without issues, Liu Yong cleaned the short golden gun.

After cleaning it, Liu Yong praised it,

"It's so beautiful. It's a good decoration in my office as a handicraft."

"This looks like a nice craft."

"Exquisite workmanship, almost all made of gold."

As for whether gunpowder can be loaded and fired again, Liu Yong thinks it is impossible.

After cleaning all these things, the last thing left is the two dirty-colored porcelains because they have stayed on the bottom of the sea for more than a hundred years. There are a lot of sludge and adsorbents on their surfaces.

Liu Yong took a soft brush and patiently scrubbed it under the faucet, which was more challenging to clean than the previous ones.

It took nearly half an hour to clean the first piece, and it barely cleaned. Liu Yong wiped off the water with a clean, dry towel and admired the colorful porcelain.

Liu Yong examined a porcelain vase at around 20 to 30 centimeters in height. The vase was crafted with precision and a striking appearance. However, it wasn't enjoyable to discover that it was from a folk kiln rather than a government kiln, which would have been more valuable.

After examining the vase, Liu Yong proceeded to clean a plate. The cleaning process was more straightforward than the porcelain vase he had just cleaned.

Suddenly, Liu Yong was a little surprised.

After all the dirt on the bottom of the dish was cleaned, the words

"Made in the Kangxi Period of the Qing Dynasty" were exposed.
