After Hibernating for 10,000 Years, I Was Exposed on Television - Chapter 15

“Master Morey, this agarwood isn’t a rare item, right?” asked Little Rob.
In his opinion, using agarwood to make a bed was a very common thing.
They were movie stars and had seen all kinds of high-end products.
Their vision was far from what ordinary people could compare to.
Master Morey said without raising his head, “You all know that the wooden bed in this room is made of agarwood, but can you determine the age of this agarwood?”
“Even the cheapest agarwood is priced at 50 to 60 dollars per gram. As for the aged agarwood, the price is even more expensive. And the wooden beds in front of us, the lightest one is about 500 jin.”
After hearing Master Morey’s affirmation, the live broadcast room exploded.
“F*ck, is it that valuable? My brain was not working just now. The cheapest one is 50 to 61 grams, 400 to 500 jin. How much is a bed worth?”
“Don’t exaggerate. After all, it’s such a big bed. Perhaps only a small part of it is agarwood.”
But soon, Master Morey said, “Also, I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but the agarwood bed on the top and bottom bunk is the same as the basketball pillar outside. They’re all completely carved. I really can’t imagine how thick the agarwood is to be able to do this.”
“That can’t be possible.”
Kaki did not believe it at first.
The wooden bed on the upper and lower bunks was not pieced together. Instead, they were sculpted as a whole.
Kaki carefully checked every gap in the bed. After checking, Kaki was so excited that he almost exploded, “F*ck… it’s really made using one whole piece. How thick must the agarwood be?”
The comments flooded in once again.
“Is there such a thick agarwood on earth?”
“I seriously suspect that this Master Morey is a fake expert.”
“You must be sour.”
“What am I sour about? It’s fine if it’s ironwood, but this agarwood is a rare wood. How can it be carved using one piece? How many materials would be wasted?”
“Also, for such thick agarwood to be carved using just one piece, do you have any idea how old that agarwood must be? How is that possible?”
“I seriously suspect that this is just a publicity stunt.”
“Even if it’s the cheapest agarwood, based on 50 dollars per gram, this 500-jin wooden bed is worth 12.5 million. What if it’s just a year old?”
“Do you still think that this thing is real? How ridiculous.”
It was not good. Once the calculation was done, the live broadcast room exploded.
“Oh my God, it must be fake. It must be the program team. They did it on purpose to attract viewers. Shameless.”
“I’m here to see beautiful women. I don’t care about anything else. I don’t care if it’s valuable or not. Moreover, is 10 million dollars worth more than a celebrity?
“Some celebrities can earn 10 million dollars in a day. It’s not a big deal. They’re making a fuss over nothing.”
“They are so rich. It seems like they have seen the world. But I was talking about the agarwood that doesn’t have a specific age. Instead, it’s only calculated based on 50 dollars per gram.”
“What if it’s like the basketball pillar outside? What if it’s 100-year-old or 1,000-year-old? The price of this thing is almost double if it’s 10 years old.”
Master Morey was touching the wooden bed whilst trembling under everyone’s watchful eyes.
He was as excited as touching a peerless beauty.
He was an expert in the antique world and the world of collectors. He had seen all kinds of things.
However, when he saw the bed in front of him, he was a little lost. Although he could roughly guess how old it was in his heart, he did not dare to say it out loud.
After all, there was a specialty in art. Even a collector would not dare to say that he was proficient in all kinds of collections.
And the person who was most concerned about the value of the agarwood bed was none other than Jaime.
At that moment, everyone was standing on the floor.
Jaime was heavy and he was the only person who was lying on the bed earlier.
He stuttered, “Master Morey, just tell me. Can you give me an estimate as to how old this agarwood bed is?”
Master Morey shook his head. He did not answer Jaime’s question.
Instead, he started mumbling to himself, “20 years ago, a friend of mine bought a 500-year-old bracelet. At that time, the price was already 5,600 a gram. The price of that bracelet was 1.5 million dollars then. Now, it’s worth much more.”
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
“Moreover, that friend of mine treated the bracelet like a piece of treasure. It was rare for him to even let a friend have a look at it. Later, when we got older, his grandson touched it, and his heart ached a lot.”
At that point, Jaime’s face turned green as he was lying on the bed earlier.
“Last year, I evaluated it. His bracelet is estimated to be at a conservative price of five million dollars in the current market.”
Master Morey became a little nervous.
Everyone held their breath.
So what if he was a celebrity who had seen the world?
This was an agarwood bed. Even the lowest price would cost more than ten million.
Everyone wanted to listen to what Master Morey had to say about the age of the agarwood bed.
Master Morey looked at the celebrities in the room and the internationally famous director.
“Also, this agarwood that is used to build the wooden beds in our room is probably better than my friend’s.”
“It’s better.”
Morey finished his sentence.
There was complete silence.
Kaki opened his mouth wide. He had lost his composure.
Little Rob widened his eyes.
Beads of sweat dripped from Jaime’s forehead and fell to the ground.
Such a piece of wood, a small bracelet, was currently worth five million dollars.
What about the beds here?
“What are you doing?”
At that moment, Megan walked in wearing thin gauze clothes.
However, no one was in the mood to look at a beauty.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the wooden bed.
Was this the broken wooden bed that they thought it was?
According to that calculation, the price of the bracelet was about 10,000 USD per gram.
Then, would the value of every wooden bed in the room rise to 23 billion?
Megan could not help but look at the stunned people in the room and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Oh my God, I was lying on an agarwood bed that was worth two to three billion dollars.
“Oh my God, oh my God, what did I do?”
In an instant, Megan’s expression changed.
“What? Do you mean, the broken wooden bed here is made of 1,000-year-old thunder-struck ironwood too? A bed is worth several billion dollars? I broke a piece of wood at the head of the bed just now, and I was about to ask one of you to fix it for me…”
Kaki was also dumbfounded.
When he first entered the room, he was about to ask the program team to replace all the beds there.
If any of the beds were damaged during the moving process, it would be a problem.
Fortunately, he did not rush to say it.
“F*ck, my blood pressure is a little high. What kind of expert is this? Are you sure of what you’re saying?”
“Is this the Yearning program or a show of wealth? I can’t stand it.”
