After leaving the apartment building, Ye Tian went directly to the subway station and bought a mobile phone and a pair of sunglasses at a roadside store.
The previous mobile phone has been scrapped and thrown away, and I really need a new one.
The purpose of buying sunglasses is to cover up, so that others will not notice anything unusual when looking at antiques in a museum, which will cause serious problems!
When he walked to the subway entrance and was about to enter, he was startled by the sight in front of him and almost fell down the stairs!
I saw the slightly shabby subway entrance in front of me. It was also emitting white light like yesterday’s antique pistol, but it was not as pure as the light on the pistol and was a bit mixed.
Obviously, the New York subway is also an antique, so it shines.
However, due to the different construction ages and subsequent constant repairs, the light appears patchy and inconsistent!
Ye Tian’s mood quickly returned to normal, and he immediately put the sunglasses on his face to avoid being exposed on the road.
He is not willing to use the perspective function here, time is limited! It would be unwise to waste money on a worthless subway.
After coming out of the subway station, Ye Tian saw many objects that emitted light, mainly historical buildings, in the SC area of Manhattan.
He found that as long as the building is more than fifty years old, it will emit white light, but just like the situation in subway stations, the light will be mixed.
Modern buildings have no brilliance. Although they are beautiful, they are not antiques.
Although it was daytime in Manhattan at this time, in Ye Tian’s eyes, it was already brightly lit. Every few steps he took, he would see a historical building shining with white light.
Fortunately, the white light is very soft and not dazzling, so I can enjoy it all the time without getting tired of my eyes.
Just after 10:30, Ye Tian arrived at the entrance of the Metropolitan Museum and started queuing up to buy tickets and wait to enter the museum.
Like other historical buildings, the Metropolitan Museum also emits white light, and the brightness is relatively high, probably because it was built in 1870, which is relatively early!
Ten minutes later, Ye Tian walked into the museum gate with the ticket.
Within two steps after entering, Ye Tian’s eyes began to flash with a look of shock and even madness. Fortunately, he was covered by sunglasses, otherwise he would have attracted the attention of the security personnel.
What shocked him was the huge statue of the Pharaoh standing at the entrance of the Egyptian Pavilion.
When he approached the statue, he immediately saw that the whole body of the statue was glowing, dazzling and very beautiful!
Different from the white light emitted by the historical buildings outside, the Pharaoh statue emits purple light, a purple that is almost black!
“Wow! What’s going on? They are both antiques, how can there be such a big difference?”
Ye Tian’s head is full of questions and he is eager to know the answers, but this is obviously not the place to study problems, there are too many people! It’s impossible to stay for long.
Forcing down the curiosity in his heart, Ye Tian followed the flow of people and walked into the Egyptian Pavilion on the first floor.
Why is the light of the Pharaoh statue purple? What color are the lights of other antiques?
As I walked into the exhibition hall, I was immediately shocked again.
There is a stone statue of a reclining lion from the fifth century BC at the entrance. The light Ye Tian saw from it was black.
The light emitted by the antique changes again! Why?
After reading the introduction of the Crouching Lion Stone Statue and comparing it with the age of the Pharaoh statue at the door, Ye Tian quickly figured it out.
Cultural relics from different eras emit different light!
The Pharaoh statue is about four to five thousand years ago and emits purple light. The Crouching Lion is a cultural relic from seven thousand years ago and emits black light.
At the same time, Ye Tian also discovered the distance limitation of his eyesight.
Only if you are within five meters of the antiques can you see their light. Beyond this distance, you will be no different from ordinary people.
After understanding this, Ye Tian suddenly felt a little disappointed.
This ability is not too outstanding! It only works if you get close. It doesn’t mean that you can find antiques that others can’t see by just scanning the streets.
At the same time, he was also a little lucky that he no longer had to wear sunglasses to hide it all the time!
It would be fun if there was no distance limit!
Fortunately, in the United States, the history is not very long, and naturally there are not many historical buildings, so the changes in light are definitely limited.
If this were in China, or other countries with a long history, wouldn’t it be that neon lights would flash all day long, and your eyes would be blinded?
Then Ye Tian began to visit other cultural relics.
The cultural relics here basically have a history of more than three thousand years. The light they emit is all purple and black, with purple light being the majority, and there are also differences in color depth.
After a lot of comparisons, he quickly discovered the relationship between the age and light of the cultural relics in the exhibition hall.
During the comparison process, Ye Tian also tried his clairvoyance ability, trying to see inside the cultural relics.
But he quickly gave up the idea, at least not willing to try it in this exhibition hall.
The first attempt failed.
What he looked through was a sarcophagus. Just like looking through the wall last night, his sight could not penetrate the sarcophagus at all.
Discovering this, he immediately withdrew his gaze to avoid being overdrawn again and fainting here.
What he saw for the second time was a painted mummy wrapped in linen. This time he succeeded!
But when he saw the petrified bones inside the mummy and the empty chest and abdomen, he was so sick that he almost vomited!
He immediately withdrew his gaze, never wanting to look through anything in this exhibition hall again, lest he would be unable to eat or even have nightmares.
Through constant experiments, Ye Tian gradually figured out some other characteristics of his eyes.
In addition to being able to see the light emitted by cultural relics and see through relatively thin objects, I can also see halos on cultural relics, layer by layer, less or more. It seems that the greater the artistic value, the halo. The thicker it becomes.
This is especially obvious in the murals, sculptures and other cultural relics that reflect the life scenes of ancient Egyptians. The halo of some cultural relics can even reach dozens of layers!
This reminded him of yesterday’s Ruger P08. That pistol also had a lot of white halos. It was just his first time coming into contact with supernatural powers, so he didn’t understand the value of it.
And he also discovered that as long as he didn’t use his clairvoyance power, his eyes seemed to consume no energy and he could always see the light emitted by the antique.
If you use the clairvoyance ability, it is estimated that it will be the same as the conclusion reached before, and it will only take ten minutes to use it.
At this point, Ye Tian has almost figured out the changes in his eyes.
The next thing is to see what colors the cultural relics from other eras emit.
Understand these, and you will undoubtedly become the most authoritative antique appraisal expert and art connoisseur! No antiques or works of art can escape your own eyes. The authenticity, age, value, etc. are all clear at a glance! Take whatever you ask for!
Of course, this is just for fun! I can’t tell anyone. Although it’s a little regretful, it will bring me countless money and honors.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian suddenly became so excited that he almost went crazy.
“Fuck Wall Street! Now you are kneeling down to ask me to go back, and I don’t care about it anymore! With this superpower, I can live a life ten thousand times more exciting than before!”
After his mood calmed down a little, he continued to visit the exhibition hall, constantly testing the powers of his eyes and enriching his knowledge of antiques.
He lingered here for nearly an hour, studying it carefully with a learning attitude, and then left and came to the American Pavilion not far away.
The light of the antiques changed again. This time, almost all the light I saw was red, some were orange, and a very few cultural relics emitted yellow and green light.
After leaving the American Pavilion, it was already lunch time. Ye Tian did not leave, but had an expensive lunch in the museum restaurant, and then started to visit other exhibition halls.
After visiting the European, Greek and Roman pavilions on the first floor, he completely understood the relationship between the light and age of cultural relics.
Cultural relics that are fifty to one hundred years old appear white, one hundred to three hundred are red, three hundred to five hundred are orange, and five hundred to one thousand are yellow.
One thousand to one thousand and five thousand is green, one thousand five to two thousand is cyan, two thousand to three thousand is blue, three thousand to five thousand is purple, and more than five thousand is black.
Cultural relics at each stage are the same, with colors ranging from light to dark. The higher the artistic value, the more halo layers.
The purpose of coming to the Metropolitan Museum has been achieved, and I have basically figured out what I have the ability to do!
In addition to his clairvoyant powers, Ye Tian also determined his own and most accurate method of identifying antiques and artworks. These abilities will be the basis for his future survival and success.
Next, it’s time to appreciate and experience the essence of human culture in the museum!
Since we will often deal with antiques in the future, it is very necessary to understand relevant knowledge, and museums are undoubtedly the best place to learn this knowledge.
Ye Tian decided to spend a certain amount of time every week from now on to study here and at the nearby Natural History Museum and Hayden Planetarium to accumulate relevant knowledge.
Just relax and take a look around today.
Soon, Ye Tian arrived at the RB Hall on the second floor.
He has no interest in RB culture. Although he has been to the museum before, he has never entered the RB museum.
The reason why I came in today was to see the famous “The Great Wave of Kanagawa”.
This painting is known as the treasure of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is the work of RB Ukiyoe artist Katsushika Hokusai. It has been completely praised by RB people and regarded as a masterpiece!
When he was working in Manhattan before, Ye Tian came into contact with some RB people. Every time they came to New York, they would make a pilgrimage to worship this painting and brag to everyone they knew about how great and outstanding it was.
Since he came to the metropolis, Ye Tian wanted to see this painting.
He is going to use his own method to identify it and compare it with other masterpieces to see if it is really a great work as the RB people say, or is it just a boast of the RB people!
As expected, this print was surrounded by RB people. While admiring the small painting, these people kept sighing and praising it, with extremely intoxicated expressions!
Ye Tian stood two or three meters in front of the painting, staring at the painting hanging on the wall. Through the power of his eyes, he instantly made a preliminary judgment on the painting.
The painting is undoubtedly authentic, with a red glow and a very dark color, consistent with the early 19th century.
But judging from the number of halo layers on the periphery, the artistic value is not as amazing as RB people boasted. It can only be said to be a masterpiece, and it is still far from a masterpiece.
If nothing else, there are many more outstanding works in the museum than this one, with far more halo layers than the one in front of you.
Ye Tian continued to look. Because of the distance and the small size of the painting, he looked very intently. With concentration, he unconsciously used his perspective power, and his sight directly spanned the space, seeing through this A print.
This is the third time he has used clairvoyance today since the clairvoyance mummy.
Suddenly, there was a cool and comfortable feeling in my eyes, which seemed to be accompanied by a hint of joy!
Before he knew what was going on, an incredible picture appeared in Ye Tian’s eyes, which stunned him in place!
