Chapter 598: Chapter 391: The Treasure of the Gallery_1

Feng Yi glanced at the empty core area and paused before saying calmly,

"That will be the gallery’s... well, the treasure of the gallery."

As soon as he heard "treasure of the gallery," Feng Chi, who had been eager about the ancient serpent, no longer cared about it. He quickly moved closer, with a face that said "I want to hear a secret," scanned the surroundings, and in a lowered voice asked,

"What kind of treasure is it? Where is it?"

"It hasn’t been delivered yet." Feng Yi said.

Before coming, Feng Yi had asked the butler, who replied that the final procedures had been entrusted to someone else to deal with and that they were now completed and in the process of being dispatched. As for when it would arrive, the time was uncertain, but they would definitely make contact before delivering it to the venue.

Disappointed to hear that the "treasure of the gallery" had not yet arrived, Feng Chi quickly asked again with curiosity, "What kind of treasure is it? Are there photos? Or design drawings?"

"No, I haven’t seen it either." Feng Yi said.

Since Feng Yi didn’t seem to be lying, Feng Chi wondered, "You don’t know, even as the curator?"

"I know roughly what it’s supposed to be, but I haven’t seen the finished piece." Feng Yi said.

"It’s not some kind of divine beast, is it?" Feng Chi guessed.

"...No, it’s not!" Feng Yi’s tone was certain.

With Feng Yi unwilling to divulge more, Feng Chi had to suppress the surge of curiosity in his heart and finally turned his attention back to his prized "ancient serpent."

The scenery setup here was nearing completion. The gallery’s interior was tall, and the space was wide, so the artificial forests, dense plants, rocks, and soil combined didn’t make the space feel cramped. Standing among them felt more like being inside an indoor primitive garden.

The hidden atmospheric lights and some setups meant to enhance the atmosphere were gradually being installed, and if you hit the switch, there would also be rustling sounds.

"Very impressive!" Feng Chi exclaimed.

It was an exclamation both about the decor here and about the spaciousness of the gallery.

Having seen the "ancient serpent," Feng Chi went on to look at the other already arranged exhibits.

Every display, or more accurately, each exhibit area, was decorated to restore the habitat of the species to the greatest extent.

That is, to simulate their living environments!

The decorations here, compared to many other exhibition halls he had seen, were more perfect, more meticulous!

They could truly be described as luxurious!

"I haven’t been here in a while; the changes are so big!" Feng Chi sighed.

The progress of the work was too fast!

He was witnessing his brother’s financial power once again!

"When can this place be opened, will there be an opening ceremony?" Feng Chi asked.

"The opening date hasn’t been set yet, but it shouldn’t be too far off. There will be an opening ceremony, so come and have fun then." Feng Yi said.

"Did you invite a lion dance team for the opening ceremony?" Feng Chi asked again.

"No, I only invited some colleagues and friends." Feng Yi said.

"You should invite one to liven things up. If you don’t like those, how about I do the dragon dance? I’m good at that!" Feng Chi said enthusiastically, as if warming up for the dance.

"I’ll hire a lion dance team!" Feng Yi said decisively.

Feng Chi didn’t stay for too long, as he had planned to have a meal with his brother, but his phone kept ringing with work-related matters, so he had to leave early.

Not long after Feng Chi left, Feng Yi received a call from the butler. His life-sized model had been transported to the city area and was on its way to the gallery. The butler was asking Feng Yi when it would be convenient to receive it.

Feng Yi looked around at the many workers inside the gallery, thought for a moment, and replied, "Tonight."

It would be better to have the model delivered after all the construction workers had left.

With so many people around, it somehow felt embarrassing.

Although he would inevitably have to face this embarrassment sooner or later, Feng Yi still hoped for more time to prepare.

Having confirmed when the item would be delivered, Feng Yi thought about covering it up after inspection to make sure there were no issues, and not unveiling it until the opening day!

Feng Yi stayed in the gallery until the evening when the construction workers left one after another, and Bing brought him dinner.

The butler came along with Bing.

While Feng Yi was eating in the rest area, the butler directed Jia and Bing to take care of the core area.

At eight o’clock in the evening, at the scheduled time, the delivery personnel delivered the goods on time.

It was a very large and sturdy box, which was carried out and dragged into the hall using a specially equipped trolley.

Upon opening the box and removing the second layer of packaging, a life-sized model nearly three meters tall was revealed.

The delivery personnel had seen it during packaging and, upon seeing it again, although they also expressed some astonishment and curiosity, they simply thought it was some sort of creative art.

Once human preferences are artified, they always evolve in all sorts of strange directions—some understandable, some unacceptable. They had seen even more outrageous things, so by contrast, this one was within the realm of normal human acceptance...right?

The delivery and installation personnel glanced quickly over Feng Yi’s face, then back at this "artified" model.

Well, it’s quite exquisitely done!

It was evident that the creators had put a lot of effort into it.

The personnel composedly busied themselves with their work.

Jia and the others looked back and forth between Feng Yi and the model, their faces still calm.

However, what they were thinking inside was another matter.

In fact, they too were surprised, not by the appearance of the model but by the fact that Feng Yi had actually placed a likeness of his true form in this place!

If it had been them, they definitely wouldn’t have dared to do so.

It was unexpected; the boss really had a spirit of adventure!

Feng Yi, who was the subject of various speculations, focused on the model as it was unveiled, sensing the emotional changes of the other people present and ensuring there were no dangerous emotions before he turned his attention to the model.

Especially to certain parts of the model.

All he could say was that the fidelity was average!

The distinctly non-human vertical pupils—these were fine, quite faithfully reproduced.

Those distinctly non-canine, sharp teeth!

Feng Yi glanced at the butler.

At this moment, the butler was gazing at the model, his eyes seemingly shimmering with tears, fixated perhaps on the teeth.

Feng Yi: ...

Never mind, this was to be expected after all.

"Oh, right,"

The delivery personnel dragged over a small locked box.

"This came with the goods, please sign for it," the person said.

Feng Yi looked at the butler.

Seeing the butler nod his head, confirming the item’s existence, Feng Yi went to sign for it.

They waited until the delivery personnel had left and there were only a few of their own people left in the hall.

"What’s inside this?" Feng Yi asked, holding the small box.

The butler’s gaze shifted from the model to the box in Feng Yi’s hand, and the touch of emotion that had been on his aged face turned into a bit of regret and pity.

He used a key to open the box.

Feng Yi peered inside.

Inside the box were two large teeth.

A high-fidelity reproduction of canine teeth.

Feng Yi: "..."
