The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System
Chapter 47: Found a Room Full of TreasureThen she strapped the phone to her waist.
"Sir, I’m jumping down," she said. "Wait for me out here."
The Bean Juice Shop Owner peered down, his eyes wide. "You’re going to jump? Have you got a death wish?"
"Hey, young lady! Don’t be thinking about ending it all at your age! Why would a perfectly fine person like you want to commit suicide?"
The viewers in the livestream chat panicked too. ’Did the streamer snap because she couldn’t get her money back?’
Livestreaming a jump into a well... My god, would they ever dare to watch a livestream again? That would scare them to death!
Everyone started trying to comfort her.
Gu Shengsheng patiently explained, "How could I bear to die? I’m not. I just want to go down and see if there’s anything wrong."
"A drop like this is nothing to me."
Before she’d transmigrated, she had been all over the place. A height like this was trivial. She had jumped much farther than this while digging for rocks in the mountains.
"It’s just that it might be tricky to get back out. Sir, you can use this rope to pull me up later."
As she spoke, Gu Shengsheng pulled a rope out of her bag.
The old man said, "...Wait, young lady, what don’t you have in that bag!"
"Just daily necessities. A girl’s got to have her bag, right? These are all things I use often."
The livestream chat chimed in: "Streamer, you’re a little different from most girls."
The old man didn’t ask any more questions, and Gu Shengsheng jumped down.
It was dark below, but she could feel the space opening up. ’Interesting...’
Gu Shengsheng strapped a flashlight to her forehead, illuminating her surroundings.
It definitely had a dilapidated feel, but the bottom was filled with junk.
Gu Shengsheng said, "Look, everyone. The bottom is filled with junk. There’s an old-fashioned radio, a bicycle propped up over there, and a metal-cased thermos."
"The presence of these items proves there couldn’t have been any water. This well was used for storage from the very beginning."
There had actually been a well cover before, but the excavator had dug it up today.
That’s why when Gu Shengsheng jumped straight in, it was easier to spot things.
The viewers in the livestream chat were also stunned.
But how much could all this stuff be worth?
That bicycle would have been a rarity in the eighties, or even the sixties and seventies.
Now, it was at best an old antique that might sell for a few thousand yuan. The surrounding daily items, like enamel basins, weren’t worth much either.
"So, Streamer, even if you get to keep all this stuff, you’re still at a huge loss!!"
"Exactly! You spent over twelve million! All this stuff combined doesn’t even feel like it’s worth ten thousand!"
"Streamer, I honestly feel so bad for you."
Gu Shengsheng just smiled. ’Since I’ve found this place...’
’It means I can keep going.’
’There’s definitely more to this than meets the eye.’
Everything was covered in dust. Gu Shengsheng picked up a small stick and held it in her hand.
Then, holding her flashlight, she moved around, rummaging through the items.
Finally, she froze. She saw a wardrobe. It was a very ordinary wooden one. After opening it, she looked at the back and knocked on it with her hand.
Yes, it was hollow.
’I was right. This is where the secret is.’
There was a lock on the back of the wardrobe, on what looked like a small door. The lock was rusted over.
Naturally, Gu Shengsheng didn’t bother looking for a key.
’Isn’t this the perfect time for a little brute force to work its magic?’
She cracked her knuckles and then said to the livestream, "I’ll give it a try. Picking the lock by hand."
The people in the chat all laughed. "Streamer, should I find a locksmith for you?"
"Look at your fingers. They’re so slender and long, they don’t look like they have any strength..."
Before the viewers could finish their discussion, Gu Shengsheng had already pried it open.
It was effortless, taking less than five seconds.
The words of the fans who hadn’t finished typing were suddenly stuck in their throats, unable to come out.
And then, the door was open.
It was a small door, and behind it seemed to be a dark passage that she would have to crawl into.
Gu Shengsheng wasn’t afraid at all and crouched down to enter.
After about three meters, the space began to widen, and she was able to stand up, finding herself in another pitch-black area.
This time, there was no dampness in the air.
It was very dry. She could even sense that many things were placed around her, like in a storeroom.
Gu Shengsheng said calmly, "Everyone, wait a moment while I switch flashlights."
At first, no one thought much of it. But when Gu Shengsheng turned it on, the entire storeroom lit up as if it were daytime.
The viewers: "...Seriously, Streamer, what kind of flashlight did you buy?"
Gu Shengsheng: "It’s that one from the internet ads. The ’pocket flashlight for women getting off the night shift’."
She said it with a completely straight face, seeing nothing wrong with it.
Viewers:
"I know that flashlight! I bought one too. Every mugger for miles around knows when I get off work."
"If a sunflower saw that light, it’d pull an all-nighter and produce ten pounds of seeds. I’m being blinded just looking at my screen."
"A rooster would see that, start cursing, and get up to crow."
Gu Shengsheng then said, "This is the lowest brightness setting."
"But haven’t you all noticed this storeroom is filled with large chests?"
At that moment, the viewers: "...!!!"
Not only were there chests, but the walls were also hung with calligraphy and paintings, many of them Western-style.
To one side was a pile of foreign clocks, all of which looked very old-fashioned.
At this point, it wasn’t just Gu Shengsheng.
The viewers were about to lose their minds.
You could tell the owner had just casually tossed the things outside, not really caring about preserving them.
But the things inside?
Following the camera’s sweep, they counted more than ten chests.
Even Gu Shengsheng’s own hands were trembling slightly.
Seeing treasures laid out in the open was completely different from unboxing them one by one like this.
It was a feeling of intense anticipation.
As if she could strike it rich in the very next second.
Gu Shengsheng said to everyone, "Alright, I’m going to open a chest now."
With that, she brushed the dust off a chest and found that it, too, had a lock.
Gu Shengsheng took it in her hand and examined it.
The viewers in the chat held their breath. "Is the streamer going to crush this lock with her bare hands again?"
"Help, I’ve become a fan of a streamer like this. Are my friends going to make fun of me?"
"HAHAHA!"
Gu Shengsheng said helplessly, "This one’s not so easy to crush. I’ll just use a copper wire."
As she spoke, she pulled a copper wire from her all-purpose little bag, and with a few quick moves, the lock was open.
"Folks, was our streamer a tomb raider with Zhang Qiling in a past life?"
"Or is she just naturally suited for this kind of shady business? I feel like the streamer got really excited after coming underground."
Gu Shengsheng didn’t say a word and opened the chest.
Then, her eyes fell upon a chest full of what looked like coins, but they didn’t seem to be ordinary coins.
A knowledgeable collector in the chat commented, "Strange. They look a bit like Yuan Datou, but they don’t seem to be."
