The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

She then used tweezers to pull out several thin threads. "Look at this," she said. "Doesn’t it look like silk? Guess what man-made material can achieve this level of whiteness."

The staff member’s expression changed, and he watched Gu Shengsheng more intently, as if to see what she would do.

Cai Pingfan was speechless. "You can tell that’s not what it is just by looking. It’s glue that condensed in a sealed space."

"But that’s not important. I’m feeling a bit hot right now, and the kneepad is tight. I don’t know what the hell this bug is! Hurry up and take a look at this bug on me!"

Before, he always thought Gu Shengsheng was nothing special, but now he had to admit that she was the only one here he could count on.

They had already called for an ambulance, but this place was too far. It would probably take an hour to drive here even with no traffic. By then, he’d be long gone.

Gu Shengsheng said, "That’s right. These are threads formed from condensed glue."

"Don’t worry, Mr. Cai. This is actually related to your discomfort. I just tested the substance’s content. It’s the hazardous chemical Tetrachloroethylene."

"To put it simply, this is the chemical that can cause everyone in a sealed room to die from poisoning. May I ask the organizers, by presenting an item like this, are you showing a complete disregard for our safety?"

The people around them were scared to death when they heard this. They quickly pulled masks out of their bags and put them on, terrified of getting infected.

"..." Cai Pingfan wanted to cry but had no tears. ’Does anyone actually care if I live or die?’

Then Gu Shengsheng said, "It’s alright. The material is toxic, that’s all. The manufacturer was just vicious. It’s been preserved for many days now, and there isn’t much residue left."

A staff member immediately came forward and said, "We will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"As for this insect, the Tetrachloroethylene is precisely why a dead creature like it was able to jump. The scientific explanation is the effect of impact force."

"It usually lives in dark, damp places, so calling it a corpse worm wouldn’t be an exaggeration. The upper part of its body has a hard shell and a sharp mouthpiece, which is why it was able to burrow right into your neck."

Hearing this, Cai Pingfan understood. Then he started scratching at the wound. "It’s so hot and itchy."

Gu Shengsheng saw that it was no longer a localized issue. She quickly said, "Take off your shirt."

"You—!" He pointed at Gu Shengsheng. "How can I take it off with so many people here?!"

"How can a young lady like you say something so shameless!" The more he spoke, the angrier he got.

Gu Shengsheng watched him dawdle, then took her small scissors from her bag and cut his shirt open right down the middle.

She tore it open and found that his skin was already covered in large red patches.

The viewers in the livestream chat and the people at the scene were all scared to death.

"Why does it look like a ghost’s face... Holy crap!"

"What kind of science is this? This is clearly a curse! He must have offended someone or something!"

"So scary! Oh my god, is Cai Pingfan going to die?"

After Gu Shengsheng’s explanation, Cai Pingfan had started to feel less scared.

But this new development scared him half to death.

He grabbed onto Gu Shengsheng’s sleeve, a blubbering mess of snot and tears.

"Miss Gu, you have to save me! Oh my god, how could this happen?"

"If I’d known, I wouldn’t have moved when you told me not to! I’m such an idiot!"

"Fuck! There’s no medicine for regret!"

Gu Shengsheng: "...Let go of me first. Don’t get so worked up."

[System] DING!

Item: Tetrachloroethylene + gansong

Treatment Plan 1: According to the *Thousand Gold Prescription*: Huang Qin, Huang Bai, and Huang Lian. These Chinese herbs have heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, often used for symptoms of fever, inflammation, and toxin accumulation caused by infection. Can be applied externally as a poultice or taken internally as medicine.

Treatment Plan 2: The Tetrachloroethylene toxin level is not high. Natural recovery will occur within half an hour.

Recommended Course of Action: The Chinese medicinal herbs are common, and the formula is simple. The difficulty lies in the patient’s extreme cowardice. The host’s primary task is to calm his emotions.

Gu Shengsheng couldn’t help but give it a thumbs-up. ’Last night, I thought the System was losing its touch, just fobbing me off with all sorts of different books.’

’Now I get it... So the things the System gives me are predictive? Does that mean I’ll be using those ancient text and modern book appraisal systems soon?’

Gu Shengsheng felt a stir of anticipation.

Cai Pingfan tugged at her, looking like he was about to suffocate from sheer panic, his face turning purple.

Gu Shengsheng asked directly, "Does anyone have a needle? The kind used for traditional Chinese acupuncture."

Everyone was shocked when she said that.

"What’s with the streamer? You know how to treat illnesses now?"

"No way, is Sister Gu going to shock us again? Are antiques just a hobby, and she’s actually a master of traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Damn, if she actually knows how, that would be insane."

"..."

Gu Shengsheng got a needle from the Xiangjiang tycoon and held it in front of Cai Pingfan.

Cai Pingfan fainted on the spot. It was clear he had a fear of needles, and it was just as clear that Gu Shengsheng didn’t actually know medicine—the viewers had let their imaginations run wild.

"Before the competition, I reviewed everyone’s file and learned he’s afraid of needles. It’s better for him to be unconscious. This wasn’t that serious to begin with. It’s not worth it for him to scare himself sick." Her demeanor was calm and composed.

Then she patted his back and said, "Don’t be nervous. It’s nothing serious. Don’t scare yourself to death, okay?"

Then Gu Shengsheng looked at the staff. "Do you have any Huang Qin, Huang Bai, and Huang Lian here? Brew a dose of medicine for him, and he’ll be fine."

"We do." A staff member immediately went to make the arrangements.

Then Gu Shengsheng said, "The red rash is fine, it’s just a slight allergic reaction. It will go away on its own in half an hour. The poisonous insect was already dead. You just need to take some medicine to clear the heat and detoxify."

One of the contestants couldn’t help but ask, "Do you understand traditional Chinese medicine?"

"I don’t. This is just a common formula for clearing heat and detoxifying. Some older people probably take it occasionally for a cleanse."

At this moment, Zhang Rulan smiled and said, "That’s true. I’ve taken this remedy before, too. I just didn’t expect it to be so simple. Will he wake up?"

"He will."

"He’ll be fine in half an hour."

Everyone waited with bated breath. Half an hour later, the ambulance arrived, and the red patches on his body had faded.

The paramedics checked him over. "He seems to be completely fine."

"His heart rate is just a little fast. Probably from the shock."

"Mm."

In the end, Cai Pingfan still went with the paramedics, intending to get a full check-up. He always claimed he wasn’t afraid to die for the sake of appraising treasures.

But when he was actually faced with it, he was more scared than anyone.

Heaven and earth are vast, but life is the most precious thing of all.

Before he left, he sincerely thanked Gu Shengsheng.

Afterward, Qiu Xiaojun stepped forward and looked at Gu Shengsheng with great solemnity. "In this round, you are the real winner."

"The old generation can never quite compare to the new. The methods you’ve shown... as an old man, they make me feel that you are so vibrant, that you know everything. I even find myself wanting to learn from you."

"It’s as if... I used to think being knowledgeable meant having a high level of academic learning. But you, Miss Gu, have shattered all my perceptions."

As he spoke, his usually gentle eyes even filled with emotional tears.
