Escape from Versailles

Upgraded!

lv.3 user!

George couldn't help but look forward to what changes the system would have after the upgrade.

A fixed routine is that the space size has increased tenfold again, reaching 7,000 cubic meters, which is almost equivalent to 100 containers. It doesn't look much, but if it is used to store tungsten sand, it can hold tens of thousands of tons. Of course, there is not so much tungsten sand to hold.

But what really made him ecstatic was that the system opened up a new function.

"Skill information exchange?"

Looking at the lighted bookcase in the upper right corner, George couldn't help but get excited.

It can exchange skill professional information, which means that the system can not only directly instill skills like in the past, but also extract the instillation into information.

No need to rely on personal experience as in the past?

Curious, George opened the skill bar and looked for the skills he learned.

From business at first, to physics later, even sports, cooking and other skills were listed, there were dozens of them, so many that he couldn't even remember when he learned so many skills.

"There's car driving? When did I learn it?"

"Information science?"

Faced with so many necessary and unnecessary technologies, George couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

"Although more skills are better than less, you can't be too greedy, because you can't chew too much!"

While sighing, he also found a suitable skill.

"Safety first, it's art appreciation."

In a foreign country, George did not choose skills such as physics and radio, but chose the most liberal arts and the most useless one.

Although this level is only lv.1, when opening the skill professional information, there are thousands of information listed. Looking at the dazzling array of information, George couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Which one should he choose?

"Louvre Art Appreciation"? Or this one, I have to go to Paris anyway, make up for my studies, and visit the Louvre... Oh my god, it costs 500 experience points."

Although it is very expensive, George still chose to buy it with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"Do you want to extract "Louvre Art Appreciation"?"

When he clicked "Extract", a thick and beautifully printed book appeared in his hand with a white light invisible to outsiders.

It's really here!

Looking at the book in his hand, George was inexplicably excited, not because of the book in his hand, but because from now on, he can directly exchange professional books according to his needs. With this exchange function, he can smuggle technology!

Opening the book, there is neither time nor publisher on the beautifully printed book, which makes George nodded with satisfaction.

At least there is no need to worry about exposing the printing time.

In the next few days, George ran to various banks to withdraw gold while spending time with this book. Although the system originally instilled "art appreciation skills", it only laid a foundation. If he wanted to go further, he still needed to learn and hone himself. Of course, George didn't have the time at all.

But now, through the book, he has further learned about art appreciation. Now in terms of skills, it seems to be more advanced.

"Huh..."

Suddenly, the content in the book about France's transfer of the Louvre collection during World War II caught George's attention.

"...The war was about to reach France. The museum directors in Paris suddenly became nervous. They did not dare to stop and stepped up the transportation of artworks at the fastest speed. In just four months, the major museums in Paris divided 5,446 boxes of artworks into 51 convoys and 199 trucks, and transported them to 11 monasteries and castles in central and western France day and night."

"After the Nazis occupied France, they had been looking for these precious artworks. But the relevant personnel fled to Britain or hid, making it impossible for the Nazis to start. In 1942, Hitler put pressure on the Vichy government to transport the artworks hidden in the rural castles back to Paris, as an "artistic exchange" between Germany and France.

The French knew very well that this kind of exchange would definitely be a one-way trip. While they were looking for various reasons to shirk negotiations, they were moving the artworks to more hidden places."

Looking at the content in the book, George didn't care how the French hid those precious things. He was more concerned that now, except for a few people who participated in the transfer, no one knew where those art treasures were.

However, the book clearly stated the hidden location. Not only that, it even pointed out that because the environment of the hidden location was too cold and humid, many paintings, including "Mona Lisa", had mold spots.

"No!"

Closing the book, George couldn't help but feel a little sad for those artworks. It was a great sin to let those rare art treasures grow mold spots.

"No, I can't just sit there and watch. I must go and protect those artworks!"

In an instant, George made a decision - put those artworks in a space where they would not be damaged, protect them well, and they will definitely be placed in a museum in North Borneo for protection in the future!

At this moment, George was even moved by himself. After all, in the years of war, only he would think about protecting artworks.

After all, those are cultural treasures of human civilization!

"And the cultural relics in the Oriental Pavilion of the Palace of Versailles..."

What is stored in the Oriental Pavilion?

There are many cultural relics looted from China, including some from the Old Summer Palace. Although the book does not mention which cultural relics they are, George's mood boils just by looking at the words "Oriental Pavilion".

Now, it is no longer as simple as protecting the cultural treasures of human civilization. Now this matter also involves taking back the wealth that belongs to the people.

When closing the book, George nodded vigorously and said.

"Well, okay, the next task is to escape from Versailles!"
