Zhao Chengan's efficiency was very fast. Before Shi Dadan finished eating all the bread, he successfully bought the painting back and incidentally brought a staff member, who was said to be one of the organizers of this painting exhibition and also a student of the Art Academy.

The staff member came specifically to thank Qin Huai for his great support for this painting exhibition, and incidentally to communicate with Qin Huai about the delivery time.

Only then did Qin Huai know that the paintings in the painting exhibition couldn't be taken away immediately after being bought. This painting exhibition had to be held for a few more days. The exhibition in Hangcheng was over, and there was another one in Beiping. After all, it was jointly organized by several schools, and it had to be exhibited for a few days at the cheapest Art Museum where each school was located.

Of course, if Qin Huai really liked this painting and was in a hurry to have it, he could also take it away directly.

If Qin Huai wasn't in a hurry, they would set a time after the exhibition was completely over and mail the painting to Qin Huai.

Free shipping.

There was no possibility of this kind of student work being swapped. Forgery also required costs; a painting of 1800 was really not worth forging.

Qin Huai waved his hand to indicate that he wasn't in a hurry. If it could be mailed, he would mail it directly to Shancheng. He added contact information and let the other party contact him to confirm the address again before mailing it out.

When leaving the Art Museum, Qin Huai also sighed to Zhao Chengan: "I thought they would directly let me add the author's contact information. I didn't expect it to be adding the staff member's."

"This depends on the person. Some can add the author's contact information to discuss the price. It's not uncommon for a sculpture to be priced at 15,000 when exhibited, and then be sold for 10,000 with free shipping half a year after the exhibition ends. If you are also interested in other works by this author and want to see if there are any other purchases, you can also add the author's contact information and find the staff member directly." Zhao Chengan suggested.

Qin Huai waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not necessary. I'm just buying one to urge my sister to study."

Qin Huai indicated that he wasn't a Mayfly, had no interest in experiencing the variety of life, and even less interest in strolling around the art circle and spending money to buy a lesson.

Master Zhou gave Qin Huai and Zhao Chengan a whole afternoon and evening off, but Qin Huai left the Art Museum before 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Zhao Chengan originally wanted to invite Qin Huai and Shi Dadan to eat at a Western restaurant near the Art Museum. In Zhao Chengan's words, although the price of that restaurant was a bit expensive, the dishes were quite delicious.

As a result, he was discouraged by Qin Huai's sentence: *The 1800 you fleeced today might not be enough to pay for today's meal. * The three of them went home separately and parted ways.

To be precise, Zhao Chengan parted ways with the two. After seeing Zhao Chengan off, Qin Huai and Shi Dadan took a taxi to that Western restaurant to eat.

It was quite delicious. Under Shi Dadan's point-by-point policy, Qin Huai tasted every dish in this Western restaurant, and finally left while burping under the admiring eyes of the waiter.

In the evening, Qin Huai initiated a group video call again to share the shocking news that Zhao Chengan was a Mayfly with everyone.

Shi Dadan didn't lie to Qin Huai. Mayflies were really very famous among spirit beasts, and even Qu Jing, who had always been taciturn, sighed that there was actually a Mayfly coming to pass the tribulation; she had only heard of it and had never truly seen one.

Regarding the information about Mayflies, what Luo Jun said was about the same as what Shi Dadan said. Luo Jun had also never seen a real Mayfly.

"So, besides Mayflies, what other spirit beasts are very special among the ones you mentioned before?" Qin Huai asked curiously.

Today, after learning that Mayflies were actually the special spirit beasts in everyone's mouth, Qin Huai realized that the special definition in his imagination was different from the definition of the spirit beasts.

Qin Huai had always thought that special spirit beasts were the kind that were very rare or very powerful, such as Taotie and Yinglong, who were often villains in mythological TV dramas, or those niche ones whose names he couldn't even call out and had no concept of at all.

As a result, the special spirit beast was the Mayfly.

The Mayfly, whose popularity was super high, and most people even knew how to read these two words when they saw them.

Qin Huai's question silenced everyone. Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Huai glanced at Shi Dadan, who was sitting beside him and eating the banana he bought back two days ago and forgot to eat, which led to it being a bit black, and gave him a look of *Did I ask a question that is very difficult to answer? *

Shi Dadan didn't see it; he was lowering his head to peel the banana skin.

Finally, Qu Jing spoke: "Qin Huai, you asked so suddenly that I can't think of it for a while."

"Once you mention Mayflies, I know that Mayflies are very special spirit beasts. But if you ask me which special spirit beasts there are? I have no concept in my brain right now."

Chen Huihong hurriedly echoed: "Right, right, right, I also couldn't think of it suddenly just now. I feel like there are several names that have reached my mouth but I can't say them. Luo Jun, are you also like this?"

"I'm not." Luo Jun said stubbornly, "I'm different from you. I'm old and forgot, not that I can't think of it."

Everyone:...

After a long silence, Qin Huai asked silently: "Has Mr. Luo gone to the hospital for a physical examination recently?"

Qin Huai's implication was whether he had let the doctor see how long he could live. It sounded like he really didn't have long to live.

"What's there to check?" Luo Jun was full of displeasure, "What can happen if it's checked out? Perform a surgery on me to let me live two more years? Does Qu Jing's hospital have a doctor who is so bold as to perform surgery on a 92-year-old old man?"

"Qin Huai, don't talk about those things that have nothing to do with it. I remember, didn't you have a side quest reward that was the memory of a Mayfly?"

"Yes." Qin Huai nodded. His own memory also had problems, so he hurriedly clicked on the game panel to check it again, "It's Old Shi's side quest, make egg tarts for him."

"How long have you gotten that quest? A broken egg tart hasn't been made yet. Qin Huai, what's wrong with you? You're dawdling in doing things. Is it that difficult to make an egg tart? Did you make egg tarts?"

"I'm running out of time here, and you guys are still leisurely as if I can live another 10 or 8 years. That broken TV drama I chased a while ago, too, dawdling. A murderer was investigated for 12 episodes, and a misunderstanding was explained for 6 episodes. Do I have this life to listen to them explain the misunderstanding?"

"And the novel I'm chasing, that broken author can write if he can, and if he can't, get out. A small plot was watered for several months and still hasn't been written clearly. What are one or two of them doing here?"

Luo Jun became more and more angry as he spoke. Looking at his posture, he couldn't wait to spray all the people on the screen to death with a mouthful of fire while speaking: "And Chen Huihong, let her find me a good cemetery and she hasn't found one until now. Is it that difficult to find a cemetery? Haven't you died in the previous lives? Don't you have this experience?"

"Chen Gong, don't pretend to be dead here for me either. You quietly joined the group chat and didn't speak, right? Those who know you are an assistant, and those who don't know think you are the chairman of a hundred-billion group. In TV dramas, the domineering presidents are busy with ten thousand things and still have time to fall in love. You, this assistant, are busy with ten thousand things and don't even have time to ask for leave for a few days to come to Shancheng?"

"Qu Jing, you too. You... can't even handle a medical disturbance at work and still need me to help you make a disturbance. I think you should stop working this broken job."

"Oh, I almost forgot that Shi Dadan who is beside Qin Huai. Dang Kang is amazing, tribulation success is amazing, auspicious beast is amazing. How long have you been out with Qin Huai? Has Qin Huai completed a quest?"

"When Qin Huai was on our side, how fast was the quest completion speed? Since going out with you, quests have been triggered quite a few, but not a single one has been completed dawdling. Shouldn't you reflect on it? Eating, eating, eating every day, having a good appetite is amazing, right? There are still two that are your quests; you should think of a way!"

Shi Dadan:...

Shi Dadan silently put down the banana, took the phone from Qin Huai's hand, and faced the camera: "How about... I starve for two days without eating anything and then eat egg tarts?"
