The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

"Streamer, this is the kind of stuff tech tycoons play with. You should just sell it and see who bids the highest."

"No! Streamer, you have to keep it for yourself. These people are vultures. Of course they all want to make a quick buck off you! They’re just trying to get a bargain."

"..."

Listening to them, she couldn’t make up her mind.

Both sides made valid points.

The most crucial part was that she still didn’t understand what this was. The only thing she knew for sure was that she wouldn’t let it slip through her fingers so easily.

This was an opportunity to make money—potentially a lot of money. She couldn’t just rashly sell it to someone from the livestream.

From their disjointed, piecemeal explanations just now, Gu Shengsheng had managed to get the gist of it.

In short, this wasn’t something from within the country. It was from the foreign battlegrounds where people played with virtual currencies.

To put it dramatically, it could even control market prices.

Gu Shengsheng had no idea how it did that, specifically.

’It’s just an account,’ she thought. ’Does it really have such a mysterious function?’

Most importantly, she had only shown the account name on the stream. The password hadn’t even been revealed.

’They’re willing to buy it with just the account name?’

Now she understood a gambler’s mentality. Sometimes, you just bet on a possibility. They were betting on whether the password would be on the next page.

Without the password, making money was impossible.

But if there was a password, the potential to earn was even greater.

As for whether there was actually a password... who would know better than Gu Shengsheng herself?

She didn’t make any rash moves, instead focusing on researching online. Since she didn’t have the expertise to enter this field herself, there was no harm in gaining a basic understanding now.

The livestream was still running, but Gu Shengsheng had already started her research.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, many people were watching intently.

In a technology company’s building in Shenzhen.

A man in a sharp suit watched with a surge of excitement, his hands trembling slightly.

He immediately typed the code and numbers into his computer and tried them. It was a Bitcoin account.

Most importantly, this wasn’t just any virtual currency account. It was likely from over a decade ago. Back then, very few people had such accounts. They were typically used by people on Wall Street for crypto trading; very few Chinese nationals were involved.

To be precise, anyone who was trading crypto back then was now a billionaire.

Of course, the fact that people wanted it so badly proved its value went far beyond that.

Most importantly, this was very likely a control account for the platform itself. The market manipulation, the pumps and dumps—they were all caused by "it."

Only a discerning, older eye could recognize it. If someone truly controlled that coin’s virtual market, they could trade internationally and earn... Even with just a few thousand coins, plenty of people had made hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

It controlled the price while simultaneously attracting more people to the secondary market. When people saw money being made, countless others would naturally follow, buying in and selling off.

The market was very active now. If someone got their hands on all the coins in this account, the amount of resources they’d command would be unimaginable.

Of course, without the password, it was all for nothing.

The man in the sharp suit then called a friend. "Yun Fei, did you look up that account?"

"I did. It’s the one that controlled the market back then, no doubt about it. This time, we could make a real fortune." The person on the other end was also excited.

"Brother Liu Bo, let’s go. We’ll fly over tonight and meet that young streamer in person."

Liu Bo and Yun Fei were both well-known tech company bosses in Shenzhen, as well as top-tier programmers.

They were thrilled. If they could, they would fly to Beijing City right this second.

Liu Bo pinched the bridge of his nose. "There are too many powerful people around her. There are a ton of expert programmers in her audience, too. They’re all discussing it now; this thing has already blown up. We’ve lost our first-mover advantage. We have to go now."

He was genuinely anxious.

Failing to seize the initiative was his biggest regret. He was too busy with work and didn’t like watching these kinds of streams. If it hadn’t become such a hot topic, they might never have known.

He never expected a young woman who bargain-hunted at flea markets could be this incredible.

And to stumble onto Bitcoin, of all things.

Heaven knows how much luck it took for her to find a book with someone else’s notes like this!

Gu Shengsheng’s livestream chat erupted. Hearing that she’d found such a treasure while bargain hunting, a lot of jealous trolls caught the scent and came rushing in.

"Streamer, you’ve got some nerve. Something this good, this valuable—it’s obviously someone’s personal notebook. And you just took it, buying it for a couple of bucks. How dare you!"

"If I were you, I’d find the original owner and let them claim it, free of charge. Maybe then people would like you a little more."

"Streamer, just give it back to the owner already! Don’t sell other people’s valuables for cash. It’s disgusting."

"The person above is talking out of their ass!"

"I can’t believe this. Didn’t she buy it from a street stall? It was a proper transaction. We all saw it on the stream."

"Don’t make such baseless accusations."

"..."

Gu Shengsheng, however, didn’t shy away.

’Just because they say it’s theirs, it is?’

Now that this thing had blown up, everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

She stated directly, "If anyone can tell me both the account name and the password, feel free to send me a private message. Otherwise, go ahead and keep running your mouths and stirring up drama!"

She truly didn’t care what others thought of her.

’She didn’t even care about her parents’ opinions, so why would she care about some malicious, rumor-spreading trolls?’

This account had clearly been lost for many years. She had just asked her viewers how to use a VPN to get past the firewall...

She looked up the account on the foreign website. She couldn’t log in, but some of the account’s public information was visible. There had been no login activity for fifteen years.

In the crypto world, if someone had really lost something this valuable, it wouldn’t have been silent for over a decade with no news and no one searching for it.

So Gu Shengsheng wasn’t worried about that.

Her main concern was that this account was more than it seemed, and she was afraid of attracting trouble.

She was on her own and a total outsider to this world; her knowledge on the subject was extremely limited.

The big-name programming and coding influencers online hadn’t made any public statements yet, but they had all sent private messages to Gu Shengsheng.

Gu Shengsheng hadn’t replied to any messages.

She couldn’t gauge the price, so no matter who messaged her, she just waited.

Late that night, Gu Shengsheng ended the stream. She lay in bed, thinking things over, and eventually drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, the doorbell rang bright and early.

’That’s strange,’ she thought.

When she opened the door, she saw three strangers standing on her doorstep.

Gu Shengsheng asked, "And you are...?"

"Miss Gu, I’m Liu Bo, and this is Yun Fei. I’m the CEO of Chuangyi Technology, and he’s a partner at Toulian Technology. We saw your livestream and wanted to talk to you about the book from yesterday."

They knew she was Gu Shengsheng and that she lived in Wanliu Apartment the moment they arrived.

The main issue was that the owner of this apartment was the late Lu Shijing.

Clearly, these people had already dug up everything about her.
