Chapter 36: The Swap is Complete, Let the Show Begin!

Nothing worth mentioning happened that day!

Time quickly arrived at nine o'clock the next morning!

At this very moment, inside the Everest Museum!

The opening ceremony of this Himalayan Art Exhibition finally pulled back its curtain amidst the anticipation of the masses!

Accompanied by bursts of enthusiastic applause, a Tibetan host from the Snowy Plateau walked to the center of the exhibition hall with a beaming smile and delivered a passionate speech:

"Dear collectors, dear guests! Good morning everyone, Tashi Delek! Welcome to this year's Himalayan Art Exhibition. I am the host of this opening ceremony, and my name is Danzeng Duojie!"

"I am very happy to be invited to serve as the host for this exhibition, and I thank our organizer, Huaxia Everest Culture Co., Ltd., for their trust!"

"Today, we gather here to collectively experience the heritage and charm unique to Himalayan culture!"

"These precious ancient artifacts are not only witnesses to the development of our Tibetan culture to this day, but also an indispensable part of the Huaxia antique collection culture..."

"Here, I would like to thank all the collectors present. It is your discerning eye that has allowed us to appreciate these beautiful objects that have been baptized by time..."

While the host Danzeng Duojie was giving his opening remarks, one precious exhibit after another in the exhibition hall appeared in succession before the eyes of the spectators!

Ancient Sky Iron, exquisite Statues, precious Buddhist statues, practiced Toba, Ming Dynasty Nine-Palace Eight-Trigrams...

These Tibetan cultural treasures are truly rare in the world.

Almost every single one is a priceless treasure!

They are once-in-a-lifetime finds!

At this moment, inside the live broadcast room!

Even those viewers who did not understand Tibetan culture were deeply attracted by the unique charm exuded by these old objects!

【So beautiful!】

【I can tell it's a good thing at a glance! I really want to own it!】

【Can I trade my favorite spicy strips for one?】

【No way, at least two packs!】

【I'll offer three packs!】

【What's three packs? I'll offer four!】

【I'll offer a truckload!】

【Deal!】

【You young people are really too funny. Any one of these things starts at seven or eight figures, and you're talking about spicy strips? Just that Supreme Pure Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead brought by Li Jie is a priceless treasure...】

【Thanks for the heads-up! I wouldn't have known if you hadn't said it!】

【Holy crap, why is this junk so expensive?!】

【Big brother, this is an antique, not actual junk! It's the same with porcelain; the bowl you use at home costs 2 yuan, but a Yuan Dynasty blue and white piece is worth hundreds of millions. There's no comparison!】

At the same time!

Just as the opening ceremony of the exhibition was in full swing, inside a restroom in the back of the museum!

A man wearing exhibition work clothes was currently sitting on the toilet, assembling a Time Bomb with a Horizontal Detonation Device!

The man was none other than someone else.

It was Chu Chen!

In fact, he had already arrived here long before the opening ceremony began.

Right now, the assembly work for the entire bomb was only one step away from completion.

Next, he needed to connect the bomb's timing device to the horizontal controller, and then fix the entire bomb onto a ceremonial tray, covering it with a red cloth to deceive people's eyes!

Chu Chen's main target this time was Li Jie's Folded-Line Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, worth 1 billion!

As the highlight of this exhibition, this Dzi Bead would eventually appear on stage with Li Jie, escorted by ceremonial hostesses and security personnel!

Chu Chen's plan was actually very simple.

He just wanted to use this newly assembled bomb to replace the Dzi Bead before it officially went on stage, taking control of the entire exhibition situation without anyone knowing!

At the moment, the Dzi Bead was in the preparation room.

After the host finished his opening remarks, it should be its turn to appear.

As a staff member, Chu Chen had the opportunity to come into contact with it, and with his techniques, completing the swap using this opportunity was definitely no problem.

However, before that, he needed to find a way to lure away the two guards outside the door, cover the surveillance camera, and then crack the password door of the preparation room!

This series of operations, including the swap, had to be completed within 1 minute!

Otherwise, the risk of exposure would increase significantly!

At this time, inside the live broadcast room!

The Sky Eye camera happened to fall on Chu Chen.

Right now, he had already assembled the entire bomb and also completed the settings for the various leads and detonation devices!

When the time came, as long as someone lifted the red cloth on the tray and pulled the lead!

The firing pin under the lead would immediately pop a steel ball onto the horizontal plate, simultaneously triggering the countdown and the Horizontal Detonation Device!

When the countdown ended, the bomb would explode!

If the tray wasn't held steady, causing the steel ball to fall into the hole, the bomb would also explode!

Furthermore, the bomb could also be detonated in advance via the remote control device in his mobile phone!

Because of its diverse detonation methods, many bomb disposal experts called this kind of bomb a Rogue Bomb.

Because it simply didn't play by the rules.

At the same time, the difficulty of disarming it was also extremely high!

The water-level device needs to be destroyed first.

Then, the remote control lead and the timer lead must be cut.

Throughout the entire dismantling process, if even a single step is incorrect, the entire bomb will explode prematurely.

Facing a bomb like this, even a professional bomb disposal expert would find it extremely headache-inducing!

【Holy crap, what is Chu Chen doing?!】

【Brothers, could it be that the thing hidden in that tray is a bomb?】

【Probably!】

【So exciting! Go Chu Chen!】

【Hurry up!】

【If the Expert Group knew he was going to blow up this museum, they would definitely go crazy!】

【Haha! Chu Chen is simply the lifelong nemesis of the Expert Group!】

【Looking forward to them clashing again!】

【Expert Group: Can you guys stop rubbing salt into our wounds?】

【Tell me, which of the seven challenges will Chu Chen be performing this time?】

【I don't know, but I'm already looking forward to it, everyone!】

The moment Chu Chen appeared in the livestream, the entire chat exploded in a wave of hype.

The next second, just as the viewers were criticizing his upcoming crime, Chu Chen took a screwdriver from his waist, removed the hinges from the bathroom door, then took the battery out of the walkie-talkie, and used a piece of copper wire to wrap it together with the hinges, making an electromagnet that could interfere with the walkie-talkie's current.

Using this electromagnet, he could easily generate a current to interfere with the walkie-talkies in the guards' hands, thereby luring them away.

This method was both covert and practical!

It wouldn't be detected at all!

Before long, after putting the electromagnet into his pocket, Chu Chen calmly pushed the cart containing the bomb out of the bathroom.

He strolled all the way to the outside of the preparation room.

As he neared the location, he deliberately slowed his pace.

At this moment, due to the interference from the electromagnet, a very noisy current sound instantly erupted from the two guards' walkie-talkies, making it impossible to hear what the person on the other end was saying.

"Brother Wang, what's the situation?"

"I don't know, let's go, go over and take a look, there might be something going on."

Saying this, the two guards left the spot side by side.

【Holy crap, so the thing Chu Chen made can interfere with the walkie-talkie's current?】

【Electromagnetic effect?】

【If I keep watching this stream, I'm really going to grow a brain!】

【Sobbing, me too!】

【As someone who is terrible at science, I'm actually finding this fascinating!】

【Chu Chen, you just keep showing off, leave the rest to us!】

After luring the guards away, Chu Chen immediately took off his work uniform, covered the surveillance camera at the entrance, and then decisively took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and carefully observed the keypad next to the door handle!

Using the refraction of light and the degree of wear on the various buttons of the keypad, Chu Chen quickly identified the buttons that were frequently pressed on the keypad!

Immediately after, based on the arrangement and combination of these numbers and their usage habits, Chu Chen tried a few sets of passwords one by one and quickly cracked the door lock!

Seeing this, the chat in the livestream erupted once again:

【Holy crap! There's such a trick?】

【No, why does he know so much!】

【At this moment, I can only silently type two words: Awesome!】

【Amazing! Truly amazing! He first used a homemade electromagnet to lure the guards away, and then cracked the password by observing the wear and usage habits of the keypad numbers!】

【This guy is truly an all-around talent!】

【Damn it! Who can handle this!】

【Gibberish!】

【There are few people here, I am an idiot!】

A wave of messages drifted across the livestream.

And just at this moment, Chu Chen also pushed the cart into the preparation room.

Arriving inside the room, he didn't waste any time, immediately using the time bomb he had made to replace the Pure Dzi Bead worth one billion, and put it on his person!

Right now, those two guards had not yet returned.

Taking this opportunity, Chu Chen decisively left the place and went all the way to the door of the surveillance room, looking forward to the show!
