This belongs to the state/government!

If he knows what’s good for him, he’ll hand it over to the authorities quickly. He can still get 500 RMB and a certificate. Otherwise…

[Note: Like above (and below), this comment alludes to past stories of the government claiming rare and valuable objects found by citizens and given the finder a token reward.]

I want to eat it and become immortal!

豬兒蟲1 [网易四川省成都市网友]:

If I eat it will I fart and become immortal? Hands off, that belongs to the state!

板正小青年 [网易山东省青岛市网友]:

Don’t move, put it all down. Ignorant rabble, this belongs to the government. We’ll give you 100 kuai, remember to be grateful!

教你反超 [彩虹糖]:

LD [“lingdao” or “leaders”]: Little Li [referring to an anonymous subordinate], get your hands on that Lingzhi. Tell them it’s national [property]. I want to use the Lingzhi to give a porn star a shower, if you know what I mean.

顶天立地一板砖 [网易北京市网友]:

Wild [mushroom]? Don’t fucking move, that’s national [property]!

500 RMB and not a cent more!

Lingzhi is lingdao‘s [like above, a pun on the word for “leaders” using the same “ling” character in “Lingzhi”] little brother. Thank you for your hard work, the nation is grateful. Put the mushroom there and you can be on your way.
