He instantly grew animated. "You spent fifty bucks… and bought two things?"
The other thing, that Jade Ring, was a fake. You could tell it was just made yesterday. But this cup was a Ten-curve Long Cup.
'What kind of clueless owner was this? Why didn't they put something like this out sooner? Otherwise, since I'm at the appraisal market every day, I would've snatched it up long ago!'
'How did it end up in the hands of this unknown little girl?'
Anyway, his current feeling was that the more he thought about it, the more he felt he'd lost out. 'Why am I never this lucky?'
He looked at Gu Shengsheng, clutching the cup and pacing around the shop anxiously.
"What a loss! What a huge loss!"
"Bought for just fifty bucks! This thing has a net profit margin of over sixty thousand times that!"
"Why didn't I just go for a random stroll today? Maybe I would've run into something good too."
Although he was complaining out loud, Gu Shengsheng could tell this man was just a straightforward person.
Hearing him say all this was actually quite amusing.
'…' Still, his excitement was a bit too much of a roller coaster.
So she comforted him, "You've been in this business for so many years, you should know that anything can happen. You just have to keep a level head. I just got a little lucky."
After Mr. Qin Guocheng, this was the second person she'd met who wasn't so calm.
'Do people get fired up this easily at his age?'
Gu Shengsheng watched him sighing, yet still caressing the cup, unable to put it down.
She cleared her throat and asked, "This cup, what price are you willing to offer?"
She'd just heard him say its value was more than sixty thousand times the price. Gu Shengsheng figured she could sell it for at least 300,000.
As long as she could get 300,000, it would have been worth it.
The owner sighed. "Let's say 350,000!"
"I'm being generous here. That's my final offer. If you don't agree, you can find someone else. But I'm telling you now, if you go to someone else, I won't take it anymore."
Gu Shengsheng naturally felt this price was acceptable.
She wasn't a greedy person. As long as she got her price, whatever the owner eventually sold it for had nothing to do with her.
After all, everyone relies on their own abilities.
After the money was in her hands, Gu Shengsheng prepared to leave. The owner called out, "Hey, little girl! My name is Zhang Sanwang. What's yours?"
"Let's add each other on WeChat! I can see you've got a special talent. If you find any other great deals in the future, just come straight to me."
"My name is Gu Shengsheng." As she spoke, she added him on WeChat.
With the successful transaction, the viewers in the live stream chat were about to explode.
At first, they also thought Gu Shengsheng's bargain hunting was just a matter of good luck.
Just as the insiders say, when a newcomer enters a field, they're often surrounded by a lot of beginner's luck. It's the same principle as playing mahjong.
But now, this wasn't just Gu Shengsheng's first or second lucky find.
From picking something out of a pile of rubble at the very beginning to finding rough stones later on, not a single one was a dud, and not a single coin was wasted.
She started with just a few dozen bucks and has now managed to make almost a million...
It was truly baffling, but they had to admit it—this young woman, Gu Shengsheng, really had some serious skills!
"Streamer, I now believe you're not just King Ou, you're genuinely skilled! I'm spamming '666' on my keyboard so hard it's sparking."
"Streamer, from now on, whatever you look at, I won't even bat an eye or question it. I'm just gonna follow your lead."
"So freaking awesome! Rich lady, I'm hungry, feed me."
"Streamer, are you married?"
...
Just as the viewers were posting their shocked comments, Gu Shengsheng's attribute panel underwent a huge change.
The number in the "Collected Emotion Value" section was jumping wildly.
[System: BEEP BEEP.]
Collected Emotion Value: 1532
Emotion Value > 1000. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Amber Panel Attribute x1.
The markets here generally didn't have amber; you'd have to go to Teng City to find it in abundance.
So this function was useless for now. Fortunately, the jadeite and Nephrite Jade panel attributes were quite useful.
She held the Cloud Pattern Jade Pendant in her hand, thinking it wouldn't be impolite to give it as a gift. So, she went and found the young man again to buy a jade pendant carved with a pixiu. This way, if more people from the Lu Family came, she would have something to give them.
Besides, she didn't know if her future mother-in-law was a good person or not.
If she turned out to be a bad one, Gu Shengsheng wasn't some pushover.
She had always been the same; she was capable of anything.
Even her own biological parents had been so heartless to her; she had long since stopped hoping to meet any good people.
With that in mind, Gu Shengsheng checked the time and saw it was getting late. It would be evening soon. She opened her phone and saw that Song Shuhua had already sent her many messages.
They told her to go back and change clothes, and to wait for Madam Lu to come for dinner.
Gu Shengsheng said to her viewers, "Thank you all for your support. That's all for today's stream. I'm going home to have dinner."
She was about to end the stream after saying this, but her viewers were currently fighting, arguing about one thing:
"I've noticed, the streamer has been wandering the market for so long, but it seems she's only looked at jadeite, and a little bit of Nephrite Jade today!"
"Haven't you guys noticed that she hasn't looked at anything else?"
"Her stream is called 'Treasure Appraisal,' which means she should be able to appraise anything, right? Isn't this just deceiving us?"
"Are you guys really going to keep following a streamer like this?"
Gu Shengsheng saw many similar comments. Clicking on the accounts revealed they were either private or newly registered.
She knew at a glance that these were definitely targeting her.
'It's strange. I don't even have that many fans yet. Just because I've gained a little bit of traction, someone's already paying for haters.'
'Just how scared are those big shots of a little nobody like me?'
Thinking this, Gu Shengsheng helplessly put her hand to her forehead.
Of course, many people also came to her defense:
"Those Heizi above must be insane! The streamer went to the stone-gambling market. Isn't the stone-gambling market mostly jadeite?"
"What's there to hate on? The appraisal market is all about fate. Many masters can wander around all day and not see a single good thing."
"The streamer's only been at this for a short time! She brought back a few Jadeite rough stones and this Nephrite Jade to sell for money, how did that suddenly become her fault?"
"And you're calling her a noob? If you've got the guts, why don't you try appraising some treasures yourself!"
Seeing these people indignantly defending her, Gu Shengsheng felt a warmth in her heart.
But she didn't care about the ones talking trash.
So she said with a smile, "How about we do something exciting for tomorrow's stream?"
"Since you're all so doubtful of my appraisal abilities and have so many complaints, tomorrow you can be the ones to assign me. I'll appraise whatever category you want."
At this, some people advised her not to bother fighting with the Heizi, while others, whose plan had succeeded, waited for her to fail.
Forget Gu Shengsheng; even famous experts in the market like Qin Guocheng were only specialists in one category, jadeite.
Their research in other areas wasn't as thorough.
For a small-time streamer like her to accept such a difficult challenge now—it would be anything but easy!
