Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

Wang Benquan's smile froze instantly, and his eyes slowly widened.

He took two steps forward, seemingly unable to believe it, then stopped, rubbed his eyes, and looked again.

"You thief!"

"The Jade Spring Vase? You fixed it?"

Xu Xing rubbed his still throbbing temples, nodded, and said, "Yes, we just finished the final firing and curing in the early hours of the morning, and we're preparing to do the final inspection today and then notify the evaluation team."

Wang Benquan bent down and pressed his face directly against the glass cover, staring intently at the porcelain piece from every angle.

Gradually, his breathing became heavy.

"Sky blue... the sky after rain... what about the seams? The stitching? The damage?"

He eagerly searched for any signs of damage, but faced with the flawless glaze and shape, he couldn't find any flaws for a moment.

"The neck was fractured and glued, the abdomen was repaired by injection, and the bottle mouth defect was repaired by 3D scanning and then the body was joined and glazed."

Xu Xingyan succinctly explained the repair process.

Wang Benquan paid no attention to any of this, but stared intently at Xu Xing, his eyes filled with shock and horror.

"The process of analyzing the glaze color and testing the formula for this kind of Yongzheng celadon porcelain, with its sky-blue hue reminiscent of rain-washed sky, would normally take at least a month! And yet, Mr. Xu, you moved it in just three days! How did you manage that?"

Xu Xing casually said, "Maybe I'm just more sensitive to colors. I used to practice my old methods in the county museum when conditions were limited. Plus, this time I had all the equipment and was lucky. I felt like I got it right after trying the hundredth or so recipes."

Wang Benquan had no doubts whatsoever; he was only excited.

Unexpectedly, his granddaughter falling into the water led him to encounter such a super expert; life's encounters are truly wondrous.

He took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Mr. Xu, I now officially announce that the restoration project of that S-grade Qing Yongzheng celadon double dragon handle vase is yours."

All resources in the restoration center are at your disposal. You can directly name whoever you want from the porcelain group, including group leader Chen Ming.

If they have other work to do, I'll coordinate to make way for you.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming, who was standing to the side, trembled slightly, but his face quickly showed a look of sincere admiration and anticipation.

Can't compare.

We really can't compare.

This guy is incredible. His skills are amazing, but his speed is terrifying.

Even his teacher, the top porcelain restoration expert at the Palace Museum, was far inferior to him.

Xu Xing didn't stand on ceremony. After a moment's thought, he said, "Sun Hao is fine. He's meticulous and sensitive to color when making colored porcelain."

"Let him handle it for now. S-level stuff involves a lot of people and is complicated; I need to do the key steps myself. If I need further support, I'll contact Team Leader Chen for coordination."

"Okay! We'll do it your way!"

Wang Benquan agreed without hesitation, and then took out his phone to notify Zhou Wenyuan to come over and go through the evaluation process.

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Wenyuan rushed to Repair Room No. 0.

After listening to Wang Benquan's brief explanation, the experienced expert still looked cautiously skeptical.

However, when he actually stood in front of that Yuhuchun vase and started his complete and rigorous testing process, his expression gradually changed from serious to surprised, and then from surprised to incredulous shock.

UV lamp, fiber optic sidelight, high-power microscope, colorimeter, portable XRF...

All the equipment was put into use.

He examined the gourd-shaped bottle more carefully and for a longer time than when he last evaluated it.

During the process, he stopped several times to look up at Xu Xing, then looked down at the instrument data. His lips moved but he didn't say anything in the end; his expression just became more and more complicated.

After a full half hour, Zhou Wenyuan finally put down the last testing tool.

He took off his reading glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose hard, then looked at Xu Xing and then at Wang Benquan, and said solemnly:

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Xu... This Yongzheng Yuhuchun vase with its 'sky blue after rain' design is a truly lost masterpiece!"

Each piece has a unique color and subtle variations. XCMG not only accurately restored the shape of the piece in just three days, but also repaired all the damage.

What's most remarkable and unbelievable is that he even reproduced this unique sky-blue color to such an exquisite degree!

"ΔE 0.7, this is not just close, it's practically a rebirth! The glaze's luster, texture, and microstructure are perfectly integrated with the original, almost indistinguishable!"

"Therefore, the original piece of this Qing Yongzheng celadon-glazed Yuhuchun vase is valued at 1.8 million yuan, while the damaged piece is valued at 120,000 yuan."

After careful restoration, the restoration results met and exceeded the Level 1 compliance standard of the National "Administrative Measures for the Restoration Qualification of Movable Cultural Relics", and were internally rated as excellent.

After restoration, the market value could reach over 90% of the original value, which is at least 1.62 million yuan!

After speaking, he looked at Xu Xing, his eyes filled with admiration and respect: "According to the A-level excellent restoration standard, the price difference before and after restoration is 1.5 million yuan, and the performance bonus is calculated at the maximum of 35%, which is 525,000 yuan."

XCMG, congratulations and thank you for opening the eyes of this old man!

After Zhou Wenyuan and the others left with a detailed assessment report and the porcelain, only Wang Benquan and Xu Xing remained in the restoration room.

"XCMG, you can retrieve the data and fragments of the double-eared large bottle at any time, and your access to Restoration Room 0 will be maximized."

"But don't push yourself too hard. Even the strongest person can't handle tackling two highly difficult projects in less than a week."

Take a few days to rest and get back into shape. You can start working anytime you feel fully ready.

Xu Xing did indeed feel a deep mental exhaustion.

The intense mental concentration and frequent use of X-ray vision are both extremely taxing.

He nodded, looking slightly tired, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I have indeed been working non-stop these past few days and am quite exhausted. I'll take a few days off to recharge."

Wang Benquan nodded and said, "Of course! Also, I'll give you a special allowance of 200,000 yuan for recuperation expenses. Don't try to save me money; spend it however you want!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing was momentarily dazed.

About ten days ago.

Two hundred thousand yuan would have been a huge sum for him, but now it's just a medical bill!

He quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "Then thank you, Mr. Wang."

Wang Benquan said with a smile, "This is what you deserve, Xu Gong. I'll take this Yuhuchun vase with me first, so that my elder can see the effect with his own eyes and put his mind at ease."

Xu Xing nodded.

After Wang Benquan left, he tidied up the messy workbench and then left the restoration center.

However, instead of going straight back to his apartment, he drove to a high-end hot spring bath center in the High-tech Zone, where he soaked in the hot spring and had a full-body spa and massage to gradually dispel the tension and fatigue of the past few days.

After enjoying a light yet refined dinner at the restaurant, I returned to my apartment, scrolled through my phone for a bit to check the news, and then fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, Xu Xing woke up naturally as sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains onto his face.

After a deep sleep, thanks to the transformation of the Qingyu Stone and the warmth of the two warm currents, my mental fatigue was swept away, and I felt completely comfortable and refreshed.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, took out his phone, and thought about inviting a friend out for a walk or fishing.

As a result, he scrolled through his contacts for a long time but still didn't know who to contact. Most of his relatives and friends were in Jingyang County, and he had very few acquaintances in Chang'an City. He also didn't want to go back to Jingyang for the time being.

Finally, his gaze lingered on two names.

Lin Wan and Li Yuting.

Lin Wan is mature, capable, and charming, but today is Wednesday and she is probably very busy as the store manager. Although it is pleasant to be with her, it is not relaxing enough.

Li Yuting, the girl who fainted from low blood sugar in the antique street and bit his lollipop, is full of energy and has a simple mind, like a little sun. Moreover, she is studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, so her time should be more flexible.

Thinking of the girl's loud and boisterous manner, Xu Xing's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, and then he dialed her Fetion voice call.

After a few rings, the call connected, and Li Yuting's clear, slightly surprised voice came through: "Brother Xu? Wow, the sun has risen in the west! You actually contacted me on your own initiative!"

Xu Xing laughed and said, "What, aren't you welcome?"

"Welcome! Welcome! A warm welcome!"

Li Yuting chuckled and said, "It's a bit of a surprise, isn't it? How come you, such a busy person, have time today?"

"I just finished a project and am taking a few days off. The weather's nice, so I was wondering if you'd be free to go out for a stroll or..."

Before Xu Xing could finish speaking, Li Yuting excitedly interrupted him: "Oh, Brother Xu, you have such good timing! I'm sketching at Liuyu Meadow with some classmates and professors these past few days!"

"Want to come over and have some fun? Think of it as a picnic! We've pitched our tents on the meadow and will be staying for two or three days!"
