The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

To the people around them, it was all Greek. Clearly, none of them had done any specific research in this area.

Cai Pingfan asked, "You’re that certain? Then tell us, where is it from?"

"I can only confirm that it’s from Ancient India, sometime after the 6th century BCE but before the 8th century CE. That was when the four major classes emerged: Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaisya, and Shudra. We’re all unfamiliar with them, but based on the timeline, it should be from around that period. That’s the part I’m not certain about and lack research on."

Gu Shengsheng sighed and said, "That’s just my theory, and I’m still on the fence. If I run some tests tomorrow, I could probably get a definitive result. For now, you can all just take it as a bit of fun."

Just then, a staff member asked, "Master Zhang Rulan, what do you think it is?"

"I was only thinking along the lines of human tissue, and then I considered various tribal cultures. I made all sorts of comparisons but couldn’t find any similarities."

"Now that Miss Gu has explained it, it’s all become clear to me." Zhang Rulan looked at Gu Shengsheng with admiration.

’I have to admit, she’s talented.’

At this point, all eyes were on the staff member. What on earth was this thing?! The people online were also on the edge of their seats. Their hearts were in their throats whenever the answer was about to be revealed...

The staff member drank a bottle of water and, while he was at it, pitched an ad to the camera.

The crowd: ...was speechless.

Finally, he smiled and announced, "Actually, Miss Gu, you could have been a little bolder. Your analysis was completely correct."

"As for the specific period, to be more precise, it’s from the Ganges Valley civilization."

"Damn! I knew Gu Shengsheng wasn’t just lucky! I was just bad-mouthing her a second ago."

"She’s so capable!"

"With that kind of ability, we have to pay close attention to the final round tomorrow."

"Awesome! I’m smashing that like button!"

"..."

While everyone else was marveling at how incredible Gu Shengsheng was, she herself was wondering something else. ’Who on earth are these organizers, to be able to get their hands on so many rare and exotic treasures?’

’And they were all sourced from abroad?’

’More importantly, they were able to invite so many experts to appraise them... When I have time, I’ll definitely have to meet this person.’

’Someone like that must be dangerous, and full of secrets...’

She glanced at the private box on the floor above. Pan Bowen was holding a banner, cheering for her, so excited he looked like he was about to jump down.

Gu Shengsheng realized she hadn’t seen Ryan all day. He was nowhere to be found.

’Either he has some ulterior motive and is afraid of his identity being exposed, or... he’s the main organizer behind all of this?’

And "organizers" like Pan Bowen and the He Family were just the rich suckers bankrolling the event to look important. Gu Shengsheng could already sense it.

’This game of capital is quite interesting.’

But it had nothing to do with her. Winning the final round and pocketing fifty million—wouldn’t that be nice?

Just as she was getting ready to pack up and leave, planning to come back tomorrow...

Zhang Sanwang had already packed her small backpack. A burly man like him was crying his eyes out. "I’ll never make fun of you again, little girl!"

Gao Liu had gotten her some hot water, handing it to her in a pink thermos he’d found somewhere.

As for Li Bai, he passed her a pink towel to wipe her sweat.

"..." Gu Shengsheng felt a little awkward. This was too much. "Can you guys be a little more normal?"

Then, the staff member noticed that everyone was tired.

He announced, "There will be no drawing of lots tonight. Please rest well. Tomorrow, the four winners will appraise the same artifact."

"Everyone, please get a good rest and recuperate. See you all tomorrow."

He then gave a respectful bow and left.

Gu Shengsheng and her group headed outside.

Seeing that Gu Shengsheng was quiet, Gao Liu comforted her, "The final round tomorrow will naturally be difficult. The other three contestants all fought their way up through the ranks. But the one you should fear the most is that big shot from Xiangjiang, Qiu Xiaojun."

Gu Shengsheng nodded. "Zhang Rulan was just too hungry today, otherwise her train of thought might not have been so skewed. I only figured out the origin of that bead around 11 PM."

"Just get a good rest."

It was already the third round; there wasn’t much more advice anyone could give.

Gu Shengsheng had just gotten back to her hotel and lay down.

[System] 101,000 Emotion Value collected. Medical Book Panel Attribute +1. Unabridged edition of "Thousand Gold Formula" acquired.

She was originally inclined to ignore the System. It had been completely unresponsive for the past few days when she’d had things to do.

The number of livestream viewers she had accumulated over the last two days was consistently over a hundred thousand.

She’d finally scraped together enough new viewers, but why was the reward a medical book?

She remembered the time before last was about appraising ancient texts, and last time was appraising modern books.

’Is it just giving me a medical book directly this time? I’m not cut out for that! Sending me an old master of Chinese medicine would have been better.’

"Aren’t you an appraisal System? Why are you giving me a book instead of something for appraisal? Have you gotten really into reading lately?"

In any case, all the books on Gu Shengsheng’s shelf were just collecting dust.

[System]: This book can assist with appraisal. This System is multifunctional and makes determinations based on the host’s needs.

Gu Shengsheng froze. "’Wait, assist with appraisal and determined by my needs? But I don’t need a medical book for anything right now?’"

"’Don’t tell me something’s going to happen to me during tomorrow’s appraisal? Will I need a medical book for first aid?’"

[System] The System has entered sleep mode. Please do not disturb.

Gu Shengsheng let out a breath and didn’t dwell on it.

Rather than overthinking, it was better to get to sleep early.

Experts said staying up late would make you die young, so she usually just pulled an all-nighter.

On the nights she didn’t pull an all-nighter, she went to bed early.

Gu Shengsheng had a long, deep sleep.

The next day, when she arrived at the main hall, those who weren’t participating in the appraisal were all relaxed and at ease.

But the contestants who were preparing for the appraisal were all tense.

Gu Shengsheng casually strolled in right on the dot and greeted everyone.

This time, Gu Shengsheng had come light-handed, but the other three had clearly learned from her "experience" yesterday. Each of them had arrived with a large backpack stuffed with food.

They were prepared for a war of attrition with her.

They were stunned to see Gu Shengsheng carrying nothing.

Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "I’m on a diet, a diet..."

Qiu Xiaojun stood with his hands behind his back, watching her with a gentle smile.

It was the third round. The crowd was huge, and the setup was grand. This time, the item wasn’t in a black box.

It was in a simple, transparent glass box. Inside was a small object, impossible to identify at a glance.

It was irregularly shaped, and there appeared to be drips of wax on it.

There were probably many other unidentified substances as well.

Since there were four people today, and each would only get an hour, the four hours would be over before they knew it... The time limit was clearly much tighter today, so it was natural to be nervous.

For an appraisal this high-intensity, an hour was, at most, enough to determine some basic parameters with the naked eye.

It was nothing like on TV, where someone could identify an object with a single glance!

’But this ugly, irregularly shaped thing... it looks like there’s an insect inside?’

’It has the feel of amber—tree resin enveloping an insect, formed over hundreds of millions of years.’

’However, given that this thing is here for appraisal, it can’t possibly be just an insect.’
