The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

"Mm," she nodded.

The second round continued, then the third... Gu Shengsheng’s dice were revealed every time, and they were always wrong.

Li Bai comforted her from the side, "It’s okay, Shengsheng, don’t feel pressured. It’s the fourth round now, you should stop. It’s not worth going bankrupt just to stand up for me."

The viewers in the livestream chat were also getting anxious:

"Streamer, it’s obvious you don’t know how to play, so just stop trying to act tough! Be good."

"We worked so hard to earn all that money yesterday, don’t lose yourself now!"

"You were just telling Li Bai to cut his losses, you need to do the same."

"..."

But Gu Shengsheng just smiled lazily and said, "I’m just getting warmed up."

Just then, Mr. Bao said with a smile, "Well, well, the fourth round."

He peeked at his own dice. A perfect stack of ones.

’This is hilarious,’ he thought. ’Gu Shengsheng has absolutely no chance of winning, since no roll is smaller than five ones.’

Meanwhile, Gu Shengsheng said, "These props of yours are too light and flimsy. They’re not easy to use. Get me a metal one."

Mr. Bao replied, "Fine. We’ll get you a new one. A bad workman blames his tools. There’s no shame in losing, Miss Gu. Plenty of people lose to me every year."

"You’re not the first, and you won’t be the last."

After Gu Shengsheng finished shaking, he declared, "I have five ones, a perfect stack! I’m calling you out!"

Then, without even looking at Gu Shengsheng’s dice, he started giving a victory speech. "I never thought those movies starring Zhou Runfa could be real."

He revealed his perfect stack of ones. "After so many years of hard practice, I finally managed to pull off a perfect stack. The only way to beat this now is if someone uses internal energy to shatter all their dice. Of course, that’s impossible."

Gu Shengsheng lifted her cup and placed the completely shattered dice in front of him.

Then she said, "This... counts as a win, right?"

"..." Mr. Bao was stunned for several seconds before he stood up to inspect the pieces.

After that, he checked the security footage. When he found no issues...

He muttered to himself as if his entire worldview had crumbled, "How is that possible..."

"Nothing’s impossible. I was paying close attention to the stress points while shaking the dice. And I lost the first few rounds on purpose, all so I could shatter them on this final throw."

"It was all about accumulating stress."

"So for this fourth round, you give me all your assets. After tallying it up, that should more than cover what I lost in the first three rounds, right?"

This was why so many people insisted on continuing in the "Jumping Horse" game. Winning a later round wouldn’t just let you break even; you could make a massive profit.

Mr. Bao’s head was covered in sweat. He had never imagined such an outcome was possible.

He didn’t even know how to react.

He still had one option: start the sixth round. The sixth round was a chance to turn the tables, an opportunity to win back the assets he’d lost.

The Jade Seal was also still on the table. He had brought the Jade Seal from Australia.

But looking at Gu Shengsheng’s display of skill, he couldn’t figure her out... He had no confidence in a sixth round.

「Two or three minutes later.」

He let out a sigh, seeming to have aged ten years in an instant.

"According to the rules, that’s how it should be. But Miss Gu, I have a proposal. How about you hear me out?"

"The money your friend lost, I won’t take a single cent of it. His family will remain safe and sound. As for my side, I’ll give you the Jade Seal. We’ll also cancel out the first three rounds. How about you don’t take my personal fortune either?"

"Deal," Gu Shengsheng said crisply.

After that, the Jade Seal was handed to her. Mr. Bao said he was going to rest, and the surrounding crowd dispersed.

Li Bai remained on his knees, kowtowing, refusing to get up no matter how much he was coaxed.

The livestream chat was still buzzing. "Streamer, why didn’t Mr. Bao start the sixth round?"

"Would you have won the sixth round?"

"Streamer, we really underestimated you. Turns out you know how to gamble."

"..."

Gu Shengsheng told the truth. "I don’t."

"I wouldn’t have won the sixth round either. But Mr. Bao didn’t dare to take the risk. He’s meticulous with every single hand. Who would have thought I’d go off the beaten path and pull a stunt like that? I completely messed with his head."

"You have to understand, in a casino, the most important thing is your mentality. This is especially true for the ’Jumping Horse’ game. For someone who’s made it to the fifth round, with a lifetime of wealth on the line, it’s impossible to remain indifferent and think clearly."

"Even for someone like Mr. Bao, when his own fortune was threatened, he didn’t dare to gamble."

"It was a choice to play it safe and protect what he had."

After Gu Shengsheng finished her explanation, the police sent her a private message: "Please discourage your followers from gambling."

Gu Shengsheng scrambled to reply with a "Roger that."

She then posted a few words in the chat, and it was actually effective.

The appraisal livestream was watched mostly by men, many of whom enjoyed a little gambling. But after watching what Gu Shengsheng went through, they also felt it wasn’t that interesting anymore.

That Mr. Bao had skills like Zhou Runfa, but in the end, it was useless.

It just goes to show, this line of work is all a gamble on one’s state of mind.

Right after, everyone got excited. "Streamer, hurry up and look at the Jade Seal! That’s your big prize for today!"

"Mr. Bao said it ended up in Australia and was a family heirloom. I have a feeling it’s real."

Gu Shengsheng didn’t say anything. As a qualified appraiser, she knew she had to see it for herself.

It had been years since a jade seal like this had surfaced. You couldn’t find one even by digging up graves. Not even tomb raiders had seen one. This just showed how incredibly rare it was.

There’s a rumor that the Imperial Jade Seal was carved from the He Shi Bi. Though that’s a myth, their immense value is undeniable.

Gu Shengsheng opened the box and saw translucent Nephrite Jade.

As she unwrapped it, she explained, "There are many rumors about jade seals, saying they’re made of white jade or the He Shi Bi. In reality, they are made from Nephrite Jade. Nephrite Jade is abundant in Jiang City."

’Since this is Nephrite Jade, the System should be able to appraise it.’

The moment Gu Shengsheng’s hands covered it, she felt a deep coolness. The quality of the jade was superb.

[System]

Item: Ming Dynasty Imperial Jade Seal

Period: Ming Dynasty

Description: Based on historical records and existing rubbings, the inscription on the seal, "Mandated by Heaven, May the Emperor’s Life Be Long and Prosperous," has been verified. The jade quality and recorded appearance are all a perfect match.

Market Value: Has never been traded on the market. Unknown.

...

Gu Shengsheng stared at the Jade Seal, holding it carefully and analyzing it for a long while. She continued her analysis based on what the System said, combining it with the historical materials and geological research she had studied.

Gu Shengsheng was certain this was from the era of Zhu Youtang.

There were even signs on it that a small corner had been chipped. But the chip was tiny, and there were even faint traces of an ancient repair.

Although they were faint, Gu Shengsheng could still spot them.

Gu Shengsheng laid out all the information she knew, analyzing it for the livestream audience.

Then she said, "I believe this is a Ming Dynasty Jade Seal. The Ming Dynasty produced a total of twenty-four official seals, and this is just one of them. It’s also known as one of the ’Twenty-Four Imperial Treasures.’ Furthermore, it aligns perfectly with historical records from Zhu Youtang’s reign. Even the repair on this corner matches the records."

Viewers:

"Is that the only Emperor and Empress in history who were in a monogamous marriage?"

"Yes, yes, Zhu Youtang and Empress Zhang."

"Streamer, what’s the story with that chipped corner you mentioned? Does it have anything to do with Empress Zhang?"
