Hearing the scolding coming from behind, Ye Tianle laughed a few times.

Deserve it! You will not live if you do your own thing! Who can you blame?

The stall owner also laughed heartily, and only commented on Garcia and the others as idiots.

As for Ye Tian, ​​who was smiling as proudly as if he had stolen a chicken, the stall owner gave him the comment of an old fox.

Blow away the flies and it’s time to hunt for treasure!

Suppressing his laughter, Ye Tian immediately reached out and pointed to the target he had already determined, and said to the stall owner with a smile:

"Hello, can you take a look at Rodin's Thinker?"

The stall owner smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Please do as you please, but be careful when moving it. This is a marble sculpture and is not light in weight."

"I know, I will be careful"

Ye Tian responded, stretched out his hands and moved the sculpture in front of his eyes.

It is indeed very heavy to buy and has a lot of weight!

Then Ye Tian began to observe carefully.

That’s right! This is Rodin's thinker, a thinker who is regarded as a symbol of the power to transform the world!

Of course, this is by no means authentic and the size is not correct.

The original works of The Thinker are hidden in the Louvre and the Rodin Museum. It is impossible to appear in the United States. Even the Metropolitan Museum of Art displays replicas.

Although it is a copy, it does not mean that it is without value. As long as it is made by a famous artist and is a fine work, it will still have extraordinary artistic value.

The white light shining on the sculpture in front of me shows that it was made around 1920. It is surrounded by seven or eight layers of halo, which shows that the artistic value is very high and it must have been made by a famous artist.

There are no major flaws in the appearance of the sculpture, only some minor bump marks, which do not affect the appearance and value.

This is not what Ye Tian is most concerned about. What he wants to know most now is who is the author of this sculpture?

But it is a pity that I turned the sculpture over and couldn't find even half a word. Apparently the famous artist did not sign it, or because it was a copy, he was unwilling to sign it.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian suddenly lamented in his heart.

Without a signature or special mark, and being a copy, if there is no documentary record or inheritance order, then this sculpture will never be able to sell for a high price, even if it has considerable artistic value!

No wonder it was ignored and left in a corner with no one paying attention. This is inevitable for a replica with no origin.

Although a little disappointed, there are more surprises!

In the eyes of others, this thinker is indeed of little value, even a burden.

But it is valuable in Ye Tian's eyes. Although it cannot be sold, it is perfect for experimenting with eye powers!

After checking the whole body, Ye Tian began to inquire about the price from the stall owner.

"What's the price of this sculpture? I'm short of a tasteful sculpture at home. This one is nice. I want to buy it."

The stall owner's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally had a chance to deal with this heavy garbage.

He immediately set a price, which was very realistic.

"$200, which is the cost price of marble and our hard work, is a very reasonable price!"

Ye Tian was immediately delighted, but he did not immediately agree, but was prepared to make a counteroffer.

At this moment, Garcia and his friends happened to pass by this stall and planned to leave.

Seeing them, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said loudly:

"Garcia, aren't you going to bid this time? I want to buy something again, Rodin's Thinker! A famous sculpture! It would be a shame to miss it! If you bid, I will give it to you!"

"Hahaha"

Everyone around them laughed.

Then everyone looked at Garcia to see how he would reply.

"Asshole! I don't collect garbage! Especially such heavy garbage, I'd better leave this kind of garbage to you. If you want to appreciate thinkers, I will go to Paris, idiot!"

Garcia cursed angrily, insulted Ye Tian a few more words, and then left with his friends.

And he still holds today’s harvest in his hands, the Pirate King Telescope and the Oscar statuette!

“This is not like the style of Mexican cowboys! It’s so ungraceful!”

Ye Tian laughed loudly and said again, continuing to stimulate Garcia.

"Fake Y! Bastard!"

Garcia cursed angrily, raised his right **** high, and left without looking back!

Several friends around him did the same, and they all gestured to Ye Tian with their middle fingers.

"Hahaha"

Another burst of laughter.

After the laughter, people dispersed, setting up stalls and shopping.

Ye Tianze smiled and turned back to continue bargaining with the stall owner.

"200 US dollars is too expensive! This is a replica, and it does not have the author's signature. It is worthless at all. The most I can pay is 100 US dollars. If I can, I will pay to move it now"

Ye Tian's counter-offer tone was decisive, and he looked like he would withdraw if it didn't work.

“OK, $100, deal!”

The stall owner didn’t hesitate at all and immediately nodded in agreement.

He was as fast as shaking off a hot potato, as if he was afraid that Ye Tian would regret it.

"Deal!"

Ye Tian smiled and shook hands with the other party, reaching a deal.

Then he took out a piece of Franklin and handed it to the other party, pocketing the thinker of an unknown sculptor and turning it into a test subject for his own supernatural powers.

The next step is hard work.

After saying hello to the stall owner, he carried the heavy Thinker back to Jason's stall, intending to leave it here first and take it away in a taxi when he left.

Seeing Ye Tian bring back such an unknown sculpture, especially when they heard that it cost 100 US dollars to buy, Jason and Miranda were a little bit dumbfounded. This is just garbage collection, it is a treasure hunt!

But they didn't say anything, after all, this matter had nothing to do with them.

After settling the Thinker and chatting for a few words, Ye Tian left the second-hand store stall and continued to sweep the Chelsea Flea Market.

But his good luck seemed to have been taken away by Garcia and the others. After that, he never found an opportunity that made him shine. He only picked up a few worthless gadgets from the 1930s and 1940s, and the rest was nothing.

As for the dazzling treasures on the many antique stalls, he could only sigh in despair. There was no chance that the price would be high.

Soon it was past four in the afternoon, not long before the market closed.

Most of the stalls have been visited, and there are only a few modern oil painting stalls left at the westernmost end of the market, next to Madison Park.

The stalls are full of modern oil paintings, most of which are studies by students from various art schools in New York. There are no famous painters.

As long as any painter with some fame and potential has long been signed by galleries all over New York, their works may end up in flea markets on the streets.

Ye Tian came here with an appreciation mentality, and did not expect to find any world-famous paintings here.

The facts were as he expected. In his eyes, there was not a single shining work on the painting stall. Even if it had a halo and had a certain artistic value, there were only a few of them. There was no need to take action at all.

After visiting two painting stalls in succession, he came to the third one.

When he got here, before he started looking at the oil paintings, he saw a familiar figure.

The downstairs neighbor Betty, a **** blonde beauty, just graduated from college and is now an elementary school teacher in Brooklyn.

At this time, she was with her friend, a black pearl, who was very beautiful, and the two of them were discussing in a low voice an oil painting in front of them

"Hey! Betty"

Ye Tian came over and said hello.

Hearing the voice of greeting, Betty immediately turned her head and looked over.

When she saw it was Ye Tian, ​​a flash of surprise immediately flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

“Hey! Steven, what a coincidence, you come to the flea market too?”

"It's a coincidence. I came here for a walk when I had nothing to do. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Ye Tian explained with a smile.

"Let me introduce, my friend and my college classmate, Jennifer"

Betty introduces the black pearls around her.

"Hello! I'm Steven, nice to meet you"

"Hey! I'm Jennifer, nice to meet you"

The three of them shook hands and started chatting.

"Betty, do you want to buy an oil painting? I just saw you discussing this oil painting"

Ye Tian asked, pointing to the oil painting in front of him.

“Yes, I want to buy one for my family, but I haven’t decided which one to buy yet. Can you give me some advice?”

Betty smiled and nodded, mentioning it politely, but she didn't take it seriously. Who knows if Ye Tian understands oil painting?

"Okay!"

Ye Tian responded, and then began to observe the paintings here.

In terms of oil painting appreciation, Ye Tian is a pure layman, but he has the ability to see the artistic value of paintings!

Less than ten seconds after Betty finished speaking, Ye Tian made a judgment, pointed to an impressionist oil painting next to him and said:

"I think this Impressionist oil painting is good, and it is a suitable gift for my family."

His tone was very certain, based on the halo of the painting.

This is one of the best modern oil paintings in this stall, and even in several surrounding stalls.

"Hey! Really? Let me see"

Betty glanced at the painting suspiciously, as did Jennifer.

After their eyes stayed on the painting for a few seconds, they also felt that the painting seemed better. The two immediately moved over there, preparing to appreciate it carefully.

Ye Tian was about to leave at this time. The flea market had been completely cleaned up, and it was time to go back and check out the harvest!

More importantly, he wants to go back and use what he gained today to study the power of his eyes and strive to take full control of them as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he even couldn't wait.

"Betty, Jennifer, please continue to enjoy, I have something to leave, see you later!"

"Okay, see you later"

After saying goodbye, Ye Tian turned around and left quickly.

"Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with this handsome Chinese guy? Are you friends who have sex?"

As soon as Ye Tian left, Jennifer immediately revealed her true colors, smiling at Betty in a low voice.

"We are just neighbors. We have no other relationship. He lives above me and we bump into each other often. Are you attracted to him? If so, I can help you date him. As far as I know, he is now Single"

Betty replied in a low voice, and the two beauties immediately got into a fuss, completely forgetting about the oil painting in front of them!

After returning to the second-hand stall, Ye Tian chatted with Jason and the others for a few words, then took a taxi with Thinker in his arms and left, returning directly to his home in Brooklyn.

As for the origin of the antique tableware, Benny has not given an answer yet, so he can only continue to wait. I believe the answer will be revealed soon.

Sitting in the taxi, Ye Tian kept looking at the statue beside him. The seven or eight layers of halo on the statue were full of temptation for him at this time.

There was only one question in his mind at this time,

Can I fully understand the power of my eyes this time? Even completely control this ability!
