Chapter 2: Live treasure appraisal, would you still accept it if you know it’s fake?

Hearing the prompt sound in his mind, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.

The system was activated!

The beep sounds again:
"By binding to the live treasure appraisal system, the host can obtain a random appraisal fee reward by identifying various cultural relics and analyzing their historical origins and true value. The amount of the reward depends on the difficulty of the appraisal and the value of the cultural relic!"

"At the same time, the popularity of the live broadcast will bring the host a large amount of points. The points can be used to upgrade the system level, open the system mall, and purchase various rare items or skills!"

"Ding! The system has been activated, opening the novice gift package..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Three Thousand Collection List of Chinese Cultural Relics Knowledge!"

"Congratulations to the host for gaining mastery of China's five thousand years of history!"

"Congratulations to the host for gaining mastery of cultural relic restoration knowledge!"

As the warning sounds came one after another, Su Yuan's body was instantly pierced by an electric current.

A vast amount of cultural relics and historical knowledge were imprinted into his mind in a very short time along with this electric current.

He knows all the official history of China for five thousand years, and even the unofficial history and anecdotes, like they are the back of his hand!

The characteristics, historical origins, etc. of various cultural relics were all stored in his mind.

The knowledge of restoration of various cultural relics has also been integrated into his brain and muscle memory!

At the same time, his eyes seemed to have been baptized in some way, and the things in front of him seemed to become particularly clear...

A translucent text suddenly appeared on the jade Ultraman in his hand:
[Item name: Jade Ultraman! ]

[Quality: Afghan jade, also known as marble! ]

【Historical value: None! 】

[Origin: A fabrication from a small workshop! ]

[Item value: 15 yuan! ]

Seeing these words, Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

With just one glance, you can quickly identify the authenticity of an item, and combined with the knowledge of historical relics in your mind, you can discern the origin of its name and historical value!
After a series of words appeared, another prompt sounded in Su Yuan's mind:

"Host, the system has been officially activated. Please identify a real cultural relic as soon as possible to complete the novice mission!"

"After completing the task, the host will receive a random reward!"

After hearing the system prompt, Su Yuan instantly felt relieved and smiled at the old man:

"Uncle, this thing of yours is fake!"

When the old man heard this, his face changed immediately.

He really doesn't know!
He was tricked into buying this thing for three hundred yuan when he passed by an antique stall on his way into the city.

Don’t say there are still people in this world who don’t know Ultraman!
This old man is a bachelor who has lived in the mountains for half his life. He rarely watches TV and really doesn’t know.

After returning home, he couldn't let it go and even found a wooden box under the bed to put Ultraman in.

But many people in the village said that this jade Ultraman was fake and laughed at him for being cheated by going to the city.

The old man was not convinced, so he went into the city again and found the China Collection program team, wanting to see whether the Ultraman Buddha in his hand was real.

Seeing the old man's expression change, Su Yuan knew that he was fooled. When he was thinking about how to comfort him, Zixuan beside him laughed:
"It's obviously fake at first glance, and this contestant stared at it for a long time. How funny!"

The old man was almost in tears.

Even the experts in the city said it was fake. I’m losing a lot of money now!

Three hundred yuan!

This is the money he earned from selling corn!
"Uncle, how much did you pay for this Ultraman?"

“Three…three hundred!”

"Three hundred for an Ultraman Buddha, not bad!"

Zixuan next to him said with a smirk:

"Go home and worship it. Burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Who knows, when a monster comes out, it may really protect you!"

Many viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt after hearing what he said.

"Oh my god, Ultraman!"

"This little mustache is too mean, he even asked me to burn incense to worship him!" "What Teacher Zixuan said is right, when the monster appears, Ultraman Buddha might really transform!"

"But it won't transform if no monster appears, right?"

"Please stop talking, I'm about to cry!"

Su Yuan sighed and wanted to persuade the old man to pay for his memory.

But his eyes suddenly fell on the wooden box that the old man used to hold Ultraman Buddha.

what……

[Item name: Ming Dynasty agarwood box with phoenix pattern! ]

【Quality: Agarwood! 】

[Historical value: quite high! ]

【Cultural relic assessment: Treasure! 】

[Origin: This was carefully carved from agarwood by skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty! ]

[Item value: 80,000 yuan! ]

When Su Yuan saw the analyzed text, his heart skipped a beat.

My goodness, this old man treats an Afghan jade Ultraman as a treasure, but uses real treasures to cover it!

At this time, the old man was so exhausted that he could not even cry. He took the jade Ultraman and the wooden box and prepared to leave.

Su Yuan quickly stopped him:
"Master, I'll take your treasure!"

All the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned instantly.

"He's not a fool, is he? He accepted this jade Ultraman even though he knew it was fake?"

"You're not just being overly sympathetic, you're just doing this because you saw the old man was about to cry!"

"You can't manage money with righteousness, and you can't command an army with kindness. This is not good for you, host!"

"If you do this, host, you will be eliminated soon!"

"Come on, the anchor looked handsome, but he turned out to be a fool!"

The old man was stunned.

"You...didn't you say it was fake? Did you really accept it?"

Su Yuan, however, had a very serious expression on his face, and smiled at the old man and said:
"Yes, I took it. Put the things down first!"

After hearing his words, the live broadcast room exploded again:

"Wow, we got a Han Dynasty Ultraman in the first wave!"

"Let's go, this anchor is a fool!"

"It's a pity that such a handsome man is wasted!"

"He knew it was fake, but he still accepted it. I am really impressed!"

"Even if you only give me three hundred, I'll consider it a good deed, but how can I say anything good about you when you do this?"

Zixuan beside him was so happy that he slapped his head and laughed:

"Oh my god, this treasure appraiser actually received an Ultraman. Does he want to worship him when he returns home?"

"I am dying of laughter, haha! We can't be such fools!"

Not far away, the two hosts also saw the situation here and couldn't help but shake their heads:
"It seems that this contestant has made a mistake!"

"I'm not mistaken. It seems to me that he is just not very smart! He actually took a piece of Ultraman carved from Afghan jade and treated it as a treasure!"

"It looks like someone will be eliminated soon!"

Hearing the ridicule from the crowd and looking at the comments in the live broadcast room, Su Yuan remained calm.

He registered the old man's name, wrote down a note to confirm that he had accepted the other party's items as part of the Chinese Collection, and then took the wooden box containing the Jade Ultraman from the other party.

Then he took out a fine-bristled brush from the drawer and carefully brushed the dirty wooden box.
