Chapter 10 Fragment Regret

It is not new for museums to create cultural creations in this era. Therefore, whether it is the simple mini version of the Hongyu porcelain brocade box mentioned above, or the two-dimensional little Lolita named Hongyu now, as soon as they appeared, netizens realized that they were the peripherals of the museum.

Although cultural and creative peripherals have always had the stereotype of being high-priced and low-quality in Donghuang, for Jia Wenyan, whether it is the red jade porcelain brocade box in the video and photos, or the "modeling" of cartoon characters in the subsequent menu, they are all at the level of ordinary cultural and creative products in the Yuan Dynasty, and they are also high-quality two-dimensional products.

Many netizens started searching for Yong'an Museum under this wave of recommendations. But it was not until they saw the sign of Yong'an Museum's closure on the "Bad Map" that they remembered Jia Wenyan's previous mention that the museum was preparing for its opening.

[Fuck, this Yongan Museum hasn’t even opened yet. ]

[So the Jade Brocade Box and the Ruby 2D image peripherals couldn't be promoted in advance? ]

[There is also the cultural relic family mentioned in the video. If you have materials, please post them quickly. 】

【QAQ I swear with my years of experience as a fat otaku in the second dimension that the peripherals of the cute little Ruby must be very good. The animation modeling is so exquisite, the peripherals must be good.】

[That's right, look at this screenshot. I'm an animator. I just saw the seams on her clothes. The peripherals produced by this level of technology must be good.]

[Combined with the family mentioned by the UP host, I suspect that the Yongan Museum may even be ready to produce an animation with cultural relics as the theme. ]

[It’s possible. Didn’t the UP host stop updating for more than two years after posting his first video that received millions of views? It’s possible that he spent the past two years preparing for these while attending school.]

…

Netizens had different opinions and various speculations, and Jia Wenyan also gave a timely preview of the museum's reopening at this time.

"Ten cultural relics are exhibited, and twenty cultural relics are opened."

Jia Wenyan conveyed her indicators to everyone in the simplest and most direct way. At the same time, Hongyu, who had been completely reborn in the Yong'an Museum, was looking at the comments on the Internet with great joy.

"Wen Yan, what are we going to do next? Do you need me to appear in a promotional video alone? In addition to introducing myself, I can also introduce beauty makeup from different eras."

"Don't you have a lot of very popular beauty bloggers here? Let me debut and I'll become a top star in a few minutes."

Hongyu, who has been kept as a cultural relic in the museum for such a long time and can only communicate with a group of spirits who don't know how to put on makeup, has long been tired of such a life.

She didn't dislike getting along with the spirits, but the spirits who were born from cultural relics had no need to wear makeup. Naturally, they couldn't understand her obsession with beauty.

So when it had the opportunity to communicate with humans through the Internet as a two-dimensional virtual anchor, this feeling of finally getting a rain after a long drought made it full of energy.

She even offered to help Jia Wenyan make a batch of skin care products for sale. She vowed to become a top-tier brand after the museum opened.

But Jia Wenyan smiled and let it calm down temporarily. She knew Hongyu's idea made sense, but many things were not urgent. After all, they were just a newly reopened museum.

If this image of a newcomer from another industry is promoted rashly, it will only lower Hongyu's level and style.

They are a museum that focuses on "reproductions" rather than "originals". The most urgent task is to first build up the image of the Yong'an Museum so as to avoid any negative image due to the mixing of business.

However, she obviously underestimated the value of the four words "cultural relics restoration" among a group of bloggers.

Fans of Station D love all kinds of new challenges that are far away from their daily lives. Coupled with Jia Wenyan's craftsmanship that is obviously different from other pure live performances, the number of views of this restoration video quickly exceeded 100,000 shortly after it was released.

Later, with the museum's repost and local news reports, it broke through the one million mark at an extremely fast speed.

This surprised Jia Wenyan, who had originally expected that it would take at least two or three more videos to increase the number of views to one million.

The number of views was increasing even faster than she had imagined in her daydreams.

She didn't even have time to look for the spirit of Ru Porcelain, but once the words came out, there was no turning back.

Seeing netizens cheering in the comment section, Jia Wenyan had no choice but to start preparing immediately.

However, who would have thought that just as she was about to take the subway to Xian'an Museum.

"Help me."

"who?"

The voice in her mind made her look at the wall outside the window unconsciously.

It is a cultural wall located on Line 3.

Realizing that something was wrong, Jia Wenyan glanced at the subway and saw that there were still three stops to go, then she followed the crowd of people getting off the train and rushed into the subway station.

"Is this the way here? Where are you?"

Her hand groped over the glass casing of the cultural wall.

There are remnants of the weapon spirit on the almost destroyed fragments... To be honest, Jia Wenyan herself is not willing to believe this possibility.

But it is better to believe it than not to believe it. She was very sure that she had indeed heard the cry for help in her mind just now.

It didn't come from the people around her, but it was real, like the dragon scale jade pendant and the red jade porcelain box, which kept echoing in her mind.

Not this one, not this one… This one is a fake made on the assembly line, and this one should have been painted on later…

Jia Wenyan scanned the cultural wall like an X-ray machine. She vowed to find the source of the cry for help.

However, who would have thought that when she really tried to find the source of the sound with her eyes that were already starting to feel sore and swollen, what lay before her was a fragment that was almost unrecognizable.

And this color...

It can't be such a coincidence.

Realizing the direction of the situation, Jia Wenyan quickly called Zhen Yuandao for help.

Although she didn't think that such a broken and unrecognizable fragment would have a spirit attached to it, Shi Fengdan had mentioned before that if it was a spirit with a strong aptitude like the Dragon Scale Jade Pendant, it might be possible to extend the time of dissipation through its own ability.

What if he is a big shot who is even more powerful than Tianxing?

People from the subway and the Cultural and Tourism Administration came very quickly, and I don’t know if it was because the red jade porcelain box from two days ago helped her gain popularity.

Every official staff member was surprisingly polite to her.

"Teacher Jia, Teacher Jia."

Jia Wenyan, who had never been called a teacher since she was a child, suddenly felt a sense of elated by the flattery of the staff.

Line 3 Supervisor: "Teacher Jia, are you sure there are authentic cultural relics here?"

Jia Wenyan: "Hmm? Shouldn't this cultural wall be designed by your subway department and the Cultural and Tourism Bureau?"

"Um, sorry, Mr. Jia, I was transferred here after serving in the army in another province, so I'm not very familiar with these cultural walls here."

The uniformed supervisor scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"It's a mixture of real and fake. Most of the artifacts used in these cultural walls are defective artifacts from the large number of unearthed cultural relics."

"Although they are also cultural relics, because there are too many of them and most of them have no restoration value, they are classified together as archaeological waste."

"Sending it to a subway station to be used as a cultural wall can be considered a secondary use of resources."

Supervisor: "So Mr. Jia, you want to reclaim this cultural wall now because you found cultural relics on it that are worth restoring?"

"It is not certain yet, but I am indeed planning to restore the cultural relics fragments here. Of course, it will mainly be used for publicity work on cultural relics restoration."

"Can we buy back one of your restored works as a promotional display?"

The supervisor said: "Don't worry, we will prepare tourism promotion of Yong'an Museum near the restored cultural relics."

"Is that so? I'll sort out these fragments when I get back and give you a reply."

After Jia Wenyan finished speaking, the staff nearby removed the glass cover and put on gloves to collect all the exposed cultural relics fragments into a suitcase wrapped in foam.

Along the way, Jia Wenyan kept looking at the fragments in her hand over and over again.

If her golden pupils of time were not mistaken, there was indeed the aura of a spirit on the sky-blue porcelain piece in front of her that was no bigger than a palm.

However, perhaps it was because the weapon's spirit was overly damaged, but no matter how Jia Wenyan operated, all she could hear was the phrase "save me" which was repeated countless times.

For this reason, she planned to go to the Xian'an Museum to find Shi Fengdan to ask what the situation was with this piece of porcelain.

However, just when she thought that this piece of porcelain must have used some method to linger in sleep like this, Shi Fengdan lowered her head with a look of reluctance:

"It... has completely dissipated."

"Dissipated? No, I clearly felt the aura of a weapon spirit on it."

"That's because this is indeed a fragment of a spirit. The sound you heard should be the remaining obsession of this Ru kiln porcelain bottle before it dissipated."

"Although it's a pity, this also shows that your perception ability has indeed improved greatly."

Jia Wenyan: "So even if this fragment is repaired, there is no way to bring back the consciousness of the artifact spirit, right?"

"Unfortunately, yes. But if you must say, this fragment is not completely useless."

"What's the meaning?"

"Use it to create another spirit."

After Shi Fengdan finished speaking, she lightly tapped the fragments in Jia Wenyan's hand.

The fragments that had lost their luster suddenly turned a light blue.

Shi Fengdan: "Although we have no way to bring it back to life, its fragments are treasures that once gave birth to a spirit. As long as we use this fragment as a basis to create a sufficiently complete body, there will be a chance that a brand new Ru porcelain spirit will be born in the future."
