The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

Gu Shengsheng looked at Zhang Sanwang. "I honestly thought you’d be the first one to start gambling."

"After all, Director Gao Liu would never touch this stuff."

Zhang Sanwang was speechless. "Do I really seem that unreliable? My wife handles the money back home. I ran out of cash after losing around three million."

"My wife... she’d probably eat me alive for losing those three million."

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to. He just didn’t have the capital for it anymore.

As for Li Bai, his wife Tang Rui had always been gentle and mild-mannered. They both managed their own finances.

With that much freedom, it was easy to get carried away.

As they spoke, they arrived at the inner room.

In just one night, the castle’s interior had undergone a massive transformation.

The first floor was filled with simple slot machines, surrounded by large crowds.

The second floor seemed to consist of private rooms, and very few people appeared to be going up there.

The third floor had entertainment facilities, and the fourth and topmost floor served as a lounge.

Then, Zhang Sanwang hurriedly led Gu Shengsheng toward the Knight’s Jump Game.

Gao Liu, meanwhile, tried to reason with her from the side. "This is no simple game."

"If you’re not confident, don’t get involved. I’ll figure out how to make an appeal. We can’t let Li Bai lose himself in this too."

"It’s fine, Director Gao. Just tell me the details of the situation!"

Gao Liu was composed, his voice clear and steady.

He said, "The first round of this Knight’s Jump Game has a one-million stake, which is simple enough for those present. But the second round is ten million."

Gu Shengsheng was astonished. "Such a huge jump in stakes?"

"Yes. The third round is one hundred million. As for the fourth, like Zhang Sanwang just said, it’s for all your assets—including any businesses and houses in your name, your wife, and even your relatives’ businesses."

"And if you win the fourth round?" Gu Shengsheng asked.

"Then you win everything the opponent wagered. And there’s a fifth round—an appraisal competition. The prize for that fifth round is another artifact: a Jade Seal."

A Jade Seal...

Gu Shengsheng was taken aback. ’A Jade Seal hasn’t been unearthed in a very long time.’

’Many Jade Seals from various dynasties are still missing. Museums only have one or two at most, and their authenticity is still debated.’

’Legend has it that the Jade Seals were all carved from the He Shi Bi.’

Gu Shengsheng asked, "Is its authenticity guaranteed?"

Gao Liu smiled. "Absolutely."

"Then I’ll give it a try."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to join the game. She also got her livestream ready and typed into the chat: "Livestreaming the Knight’s Jump Game for you all today."

Her followers in the stream were already waiting. Everyone knew what the Knight’s Jump Game was, and they’d heard many people had lost a fortune playing it.

"Streamer, I’m here for it."

"I heard the Knight’s Jump Game is similar to what we normally play, just with huge stakes. That’s why so many people are willing to try their luck."

Just then, an official account posted a bullet comment:

"Jiulin Police: Gambling endangers everyone. Quit for your family’s sake."

"LMAO, this stream is full of official accounts."

Soon, Gu Shengsheng started a joint broadcast with a police representative to talk about the dangers of gambling. The joint broadcast only ended when her game was about to begin.

’Taking the opportunity to help the police with their PSA, I’m such a good citizen!’

Weaving through the dense crowd of onlookers, Gu Shengsheng appeared at Li Bai’s side.

Li Bai was drenched in sweat, his entire body trembling. His face was oily and shone under the lights.

When she’d seen him before, he had been a distinguished-looking man. Though middle-aged, he was far from unattractive.

But now, he had the completely degenerate look of a compulsive gambler.

’It seems men really do get ugly when they gamble,’ Gu Shengsheng thought. ’Even his features have changed.’

Gu Shengsheng sighed internally and stood next to Li Bai.

She said, "My friend can’t continue. How about I take his place?"

She looked at the man in the fur coat sitting opposite them. Everyone called him Mr. Bao.

’It has the feel of an old-school gambling den,’ she mused.

Yesterday, the He Family had wanted her to sit in Mr. Bao’s seat and just keep winning. As the winner of the main competition, she would have been more convincing.

Since she hadn’t come, they’d found this guy instead. He also looked like he knew what he was doing.

Gu Shengsheng could sense that he was genuinely skilled, not just some flashy cheater.

Mr. Bao looked at her. "Miss Gu, I saw your appraisal yesterday. Very impressive."

"You’re a skilled appraiser, but today is for entertainment. Gambling. Understand?"

"Losing at gambling isn’t as simple as losing a drinking game. A young lady like you... do you really know how to play?"

Gu Shengsheng said, "I don’t. It’s my first time. Let’s give it a try."

Li Bai’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees before Gu Shengsheng.

Then he said, "I lost the fourth round... I have nothing left..."

Gu Shengsheng said, "You don’t just have nothing left, you’ve dragged Tang Rui down with you. Your home is full of strangers right now. She’s terrified."

Li Bai looked dazed, then angry. He roared, "Why did you go to her so soon?! I can definitely win it all back! I told you, just one more game and I’ll win it back!"

This gambler’s mentality grated on Gu Shengsheng’s nerves.

She stood up straight. "You think you’ve got what it takes? Then go ahead. It’s the final round. If you want to gamble, then gamble, Mr. Li Bai. Once you’ve made up your mind, no one will stop you."

He was silent for a long moment, then broke down, crying like a child.

He said, "I’m sorry, Miss Gu."

"Please, help me. You’re the only one who can save me now."

Mr. Bao was getting impatient. "Miss Gu, hurry it up."

"I’ve got other people waiting to play Knight’s Jump with me. Don’t waste my time."

"I’m in no hurry," Gu Shengsheng retorted. "I’ve got my eye on that Jade Seal."

Comments from the livestream viewers:

"That’s our Sister Gu for you. Always so bold."

"Yeah, but... this Mr. Bao is supposedly from the casinos in Australia. He’s an incredible gambler, like something out of one of those old Zhou Runfa movies."

"It can’t be that exaggerated, can it? But our streamer looks so innocent, and she clearly doesn’t know the first thing about this world. It’s hard to say."

"It’s hard to say... every time I bet against her, she wins. I guess I’ll have to be optimistic this time..."

Everyone was filled with anticipation.

When Mr. Bao heard Gu Shengsheng say she was a novice, he laughed so hard he could barely breathe. "A novice? How do you have the nerve to say something like that? My god, I’ve heard a lot of jokes today."

"This isn’t appraising antiques, it’s gambling. You need to be a little more realistic about crossing into a different field!"

After he finished, Gu Shengsheng asked, "So, we shake dice and compare totals?"

"Yes." Mr. Bao hadn’t expected to be facing a complete novice who didn’t even know the rules.

"How about this? You wouldn’t know the complex games, so we’ll play a simple one. Five dice each. You just have to make a higher call than me." He seemed ready to take it easy.

Gu Shengsheng nodded. "Let’s begin."

Then, they both shook their dice cups.

Mr. Bao called out immediately, "Four 4s!"

Gu Shengsheng peeked at her dice, then said with great sincerity, "Five 1s."

"I call your bluff," he said with a sneer.

And sure enough, Gu Shengsheng’s dice were a mix of 1s, 2s, and 4s.

Mr. Bao scoffed. "You lose."
