Chapter 1: Identification of Han Dynasty Ultraman

"Dear audience, welcome to the show "Chinese Classics"!"

"This time, the "Chinese Collection" program will invite 300 contestants from the cultural relics industry to participate in a one-month live broadcast challenge at five venues in China!"

"Three hundred contestants will appraise all kinds of antiques selected by the audience and select some for the Chinese Collection Exhibition!"

"Points will be accumulated based on the value of the item being appraised. That means the market value of this artifact is 100,000 yuan, which equals 100,000 points!"

"If the item appraised by the guest is finally determined by the experts to be fake, it will be considered a loss and points will be deducted. If the cultural relic is appraised to be a truly valuable cultural relic, the points of equal value will be added!"

"This round of competition will adopt an elimination system. Only the 100 contestants with the highest scores will be able to enter the second round of the "Chinese Classics" program!"

"At the same time, we will start a full live broadcast. The contestant with the highest popularity and the most treasures identified in the three rounds of the Huaxia Collection competition will win the final victory of the show!"

"The final winner of this program will not only receive the lifetime honorary title of Chinese Collector, but will also receive a bonus of 10 million yuan!"

……

Su Yuan sat in the middle of a row of contestants with a smile on his face, facing the countless cameras and audiences in front of him.

He is one of the contestants of this China Collection program.

This time, the Chinese Collection program is an event specially organized by Longguo to find folk treasures and awaken everyone's love for Chinese culture.

The three hundred contestants come from all over the country, and many of them are actually leaders in the cultural relics industry!

Except Su Yuan...

The person invited to the China Collection program was actually his father Su Maosheng.

But just a week ago, his father Su Maosheng bought a very high-quality imitation of an antique by mistake. After discovering the truth, he died of a myocardial infarction in anger, leaving the antique shop to Su Yuan, who had just graduated from college.

After taking care of his father's funeral, Su Yuan wanted to transfer the antique shop, but unexpectedly obtained a live treasure appraisal system.

As long as he participates in the China Collection program and the live treasure appraisal, he can activate the system.

Su Yuan is not from this world.

Twenty-two years ago, he suddenly traveled to this parallel world that was almost identical to Blue Star and became a newborn baby.

Over the past twenty years, he grew up peacefully like an ordinary person. He thought he would not have a system and would just go to college and find a job step by step, then get married and have children and live an ordinary life.

But I didn’t expect that the moment I received the invitation letter to the Chinese Collection, I would unexpectedly obtain the system.

Today is the first day of the competition.

Although most of the contestants sitting on the scene are very young, many of them are already leaders in the cultural relics industry.

Sitting among them, Su Yuan actually felt a little guilty.

Although his father had a high reputation in the cultural relics circle, Su Yuan had been in school all the time, so he did not learn much about cultural relics.

Facing the camera and the audience, he could only maintain a gentle smile to hide his inner uneasiness.

However, his handsome appearance, gentle temperament and smile made many viewers like him:

"This treasure appraiser is so handsome!"

"Yeah, the other treasure appraisers all look ugly!"

"But why doesn't anyone ask him to appraise treasures? Is it because he is too young?"

"Of course, you see, the other treasure appraising contestants all look mysterious and profound. This guy looks like a college graduate. Of course, many people don't dare to ask him to appraise their treasures!"

"Tsk...if it's me, I'll find him!"

"You think you're looking for a partner, but of course you need an expert to appraise treasures!"

Perhaps it was because Su Yuan looked too young, many people who came to appraise treasures bypassed him and went to find other contestants who looked more mature.

Even in his live broadcast room, there were not many people, only a few dozen.

Compared with the deserted state of Su Yuan's live broadcast room, the live broadcast rooms of other contestants seemed very lively.

Especially the guy with a mustache and a smirk sitting next to him. Tens of thousands of people had already come to watch the live broadcast, and many loyal fans came to greet him right away:

"Hey, Teacher Zixuan is here to participate too!"

"Teacher Zixuan, you can't participate in this competition!"

Mr. Zixuan, who has a mustache and a sly smile, is quite famous in the treasure appraisal world. He also talked freely to the audience: "My dear treasure friends, who said I can't come to participate! The winner of this China Collection Program can get 10 million. Mr. Zixuan also likes money, okay!"

"Now that I'm here, you guys should at least support me. How about giving me some rockets to boost my popularity?"

As soon as these two sentences were said, someone in the live broadcast room really gave Teacher Zixuan a wave of gifts, which made the popularity of his live broadcast room soar and soon reached nearly 50,000 people!

Moreover, viewers soon came to him for identification, but there were basically no authentic items.

Teacher Zixuan teased with a smirk on his face:

"My dear, what are you doing? I'm telling you, it's not fashionable to wear this thing!"

"It's made from a urine bucket. Wouldn't it smell bad if you put it around your neck?"

"Dude, I see this isn't from Shang Zhou at all, it's from last week!"

"If you add a jade cup and a jade turtle to this jade bowl, you will have a complete set of three items for the construction site!"

"It's just made to look old, it's made of urine and mud, and then it's placed on the construction site and dug out and sold to you!"

Nowadays, folk antiques are very rare, and most of them are fake ones that are made to look old.

Although Teacher Zixuan has appraised a lot of items and hasn't come across anything good, at least the audience in the live broadcast room is enjoying it, which also leads to high popularity in his live broadcast room.

"Wow, before I knew it, there are already 50,000 people in the live broadcast room!"

Zixuan glanced at Su Yuan, who was sitting quietly beside him, with a smug look in his eyes:
"Although I didn't see anything good, I think you guys enjoyed it. Thank you for your support!"

Compared with his live broadcast room, Su Yuan’s live broadcast room seemed too deserted.

There are only a few dozen people, and most of them are pretty girls...

Just when Su Yuan was feeling bored and helpless, an old man walked towards him.

When the old man walked up to Su Yuan, he nervously took out a cloth bag from his arms.

Seeing the cloth bag in the old man's hand filled with layers of things, Zixuan beside him instantly became excited:

"Master, you have hidden this thing very well. Is it really a good thing?"

The old man waved his hands nervously.

It seems that he came from the countryside and seemed a little nervous about participating in this kind of treasure appraisal program. Seeing that Zixuan with a mustache looked a little cunning, and Su Yuan sitting there in a gentle and elegant manner, he came to Su Yuan specially for appraisal.

Soon, the cloth bag in the old man's hand was untied, revealing a dirty wooden box covered with stains, and its original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

When the box was opened, there was a jade statue inside.

However, when the audience in Su Yuan's live broadcast room and Xiao Huzi's live broadcast room saw this statue, they were instantly shocked.

This statue turned out to be a statue of Ultraman sitting cross-legged!
In an instant, Zixuan and Suyuan's live broadcast rooms were in an uproar:

"My goodness, what is this!"

"Ultraman, a genuine white marble seated Ultraman statue!"

"I've never seen anything like this before. Ultraman actually existed in the Han Dynasty. It really has been around since ancient times!"

"That's right. According to the historical records, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, a meteor crashed into the wilderness and transformed into Ultraman, who eventually defeated the monster and saved the people of Han!"

"Haha, I'm so happy, is this guy sure he's not here to make people laugh?"

Zixuan suddenly laughed so hard that he choked. He held his stomach and his facial features were squeezed together with laughter.

The old man didn't know what was going on in the live broadcast room. He pointed at the Ultraman statue in the box and asked Su Yuan:

"Master... Young Master, do you think this is real? How much is it worth?"

Su Yuan was also a little amused.

Even a layman can tell at a glance that this white marble Ultraman is fake!

How come I encountered something like this when I just started appraising treasures?

Just as Su Yuan was about to speak, a slight sound suddenly came from his mind:
"Ding! Live treasure appraisal has started, the system will be activated soon!"
