The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

Because they had been intentionally aged, many of the outlines were blurry.

But one carved Guanyin statue stood out, and Gu Shengsheng spotted it immediately.

She picked it up, and the [System] beeped.

Item: Jingdezhen Kiln Green and White Jade Water Moon Guanyin Statue

Age: Produced by a Jingdezhen kiln during the Yuan Dynasty

The Bodhisattva has a dignified expression and intricate, dangling jewelry. Suitable for display in a home to ensure protection, happiness, and well-being.

Market Value: 1,800,000

Recycle Value: 1,800,000

For a piece of porcelain, fetching a price like that was already incredible!

And finding it mixed in with the wares of a shop like this, Gu Shengsheng recalled the shop owner’s earlier words and was unsure of his angle.

The shop owner looked at her and chuckled. "Young lady, you’ve got a good eye! You spotted the best piece in my shop right away."

"How much is this one?" Gu Shengsheng asked.

He said, "Well, since you just said the history I was talking about is bogus, I’ll give you a lower price."

"This much!" He held up five fingers.

Gu Shengsheng understood now. The owner had probably bought all this stuff wholesale.

He couldn’t tell the good from the bad.

Right now, he just saw Gu Shengsheng as a sucker, an easy way to make some cash.

Gu Shengsheng asked, "Fifty yuan?"

"..." The owner shot her a look. "Are you kidding me? People pay one or two thousand for a tombstone here. Fifty? In your dreams!"

"Why not just say five yuan?"

Gu Shengsheng asked earnestly, "So it’s five yuan?"

The owner was speechless, but he sighed. "Five thousand! That’s my final offer. I won’t ask for more, seeing as a little girl like you probably doesn’t have much money."

"You’re buying this to take home for yourself, right?"

"Yes." She nodded.

"Final offer, five thousand, and it’s yours. If you don’t want it, I’m not selling it!"

Gu Shengsheng didn’t say anything. She lowered her head, then crouched down to tie her shoelace.

The owner started to get nervous.

Then he said, "If five thousand is too much, four thousand is fine too!"

It wasn’t that Gu Shengsheng was unwilling; she was just tying her shoelace.

But since he’d offered, she nodded anyway.

She paid with an Alipay transfer, which wasn’t any trouble.

As soon as Gu Shengsheng walked out of the shop, the owner burst out laughing. "What a fool!"

"I bought that thing for thirty yuan and sold it for four thousand! I’m making a killing!"

"I don’t even need to make another sale this month!"

’Thank you, you big sucker,’ he thought.

...

Gu Shengsheng hadn’t expected the shop owner to be so happy.

The viewers in the livestream chat had seen their expectations subverted too many times and had matured. They knew Gu Shengsheng wouldn’t get ripped off, so they just asked her what it was and how much it was really worth.

Gu Shengsheng explained, "The shop owner was mostly bluffing, but some of what he said actually hit the mark by a fluke. This is a glazed Bodhisattva statue produced in Jingdezhen during the Yuan Dynasty. And it’s a top-grade piece."

"A lot of ancient artifacts end up circulating out there. The people who find them don’t understand them; they aren’t professional Treasure Appraisers. So they have no idea about the hidden value. The owner probably bought it wholesale for a few dozen yuan."

"This thing could probably sell for around 1.5 million."

Hearing Gu Shengsheng’s explanation, everyone understood:

"If the owner saw your stream right now, he’d probably be kicking himself, right?"

"He probably won’t see your stream, though. I bet he’s thrilled. He’s probably been sitting on that inventory for years."

"Making a living isn’t easy in any field these days. I just want to pass the civil service exams and land a stable job already!"

"I just want that kind of life—a steady paycheck, going through the motions every day. That sounds like a dream to me!"

"..."

[System] Emotion Value collected: 0 new points

Gu Shengsheng was at a loss for words.

It couldn’t be helped. She had too many fans now, and she had already collected so much Emotion Value from them before. Even with eighty to ninety thousand people watching, it was hard to gather any more.

’Oh well, take it as it comes.’

’It’ll go up, one point at a time. It’ll get there eventually.’

As she neared the street opposite Wanliu Apartment, Gu Shengsheng ended the livestream. "I’ll stream again another day," she said. "I’m taking this home now. It’s not for sale; I’m just going to put it in my house for the old madam to see."

The viewers were tired of even saying how envious they were.

Just as they were feeling jealous of Gu Shengsheng, two Lamborghinis appeared in the background of her stream, near the street market.

They screeched to a halt as if chasing each other.

A bit of water even splashed onto Gu Shengsheng.

She had just been wondering if it was some rich second-generation heirs chasing a girl or just playing around, but then two delivery guys in yellow uniforms got out.

Gu Shengsheng: "..."

The viewers: "..."

Then, Gu Shengsheng watched, stunned, as they walked right past her and asked the security guard if they needed to register to make a delivery.

Gu Shengsheng’s mind was a complete mess. She waited until they were some distance away.

She looked at the wails of despair in the chat.

"It’s fine," she said. "We’re all just like those NPC commenters in web novels, watching from the sidelines and seething with envy. We see rich kids delivering food and invent an entire novel in our heads."

"Besides, the money he makes from one delivery probably isn’t even enough to cover his gas, right?" Gu Shengsheng analyzed.

Livestream viewer: "Wake up, streamer! The ultra-rich don’t think like us poor people."

"It’s like how they’d never download a super-bargain app. We’re the ones scrambling with a huge group of people on there just to grab a 200-yuan red packet!"

"I’m so jealous, so, so jealous! I wish some rich kid’s mother would just show up and give me a few million to leave her son!"

Gu Shengsheng laughed and said, "What’s wrong with using a bargain app? I use them too. A good deal is a good deal. I’ve also saved up a ton of food delivery coupons."

"It’s fine. Let’s not worry about all that. Once I’ve paid off this fifty million, I’ll keep giving out perks to you long-time fans."

And no joke, while other streamers’ perks were a mystery, Gu Shengsheng’s were genuinely awesome!

Last time, she gave away a gold ring that she had forged herself.

One viewer who lived abroad took it to be sold, and someone there bought it for 500,000 on the spot.

Who knew what the next one would be... You could get rich overnight from one of her giveaways.

With 500,000, you could just deposit it in a bank and live off the few thousand in interest. Then you could just lie flat.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Shengsheng headed for home.

She had wanted to make it a surprise when she brought the Guanyin statue back, but the old madam wasn’t there.

She’d apparently gone to look at renovation materials. Only Lu Linlin was sitting on the apartment sofa, watching TV.

She said, "Sister-in-law, Grandma is busy with the renovations these days. She told us not to bother her unless it’s important."

"And my relationship with her isn’t that great recently, so don’t ask me to contact her either."

Gu Shengsheng: "..." She sensed that something was off.

The two of them were usually as close as old best friends, so for her to suddenly say something like this meant there was definitely some kind of conflict.

She had to figure it out. Although Grandma wasn’t always reliable, and Linnin wasn’t reliable either, they were usually surprisingly in sync when they were together. They almost never fought.

Gu Shengsheng looked at her searchingly and asked, "Did you and Grandma have a fight?"
