28: There's an unexpected surprise!

Chen Kai curled his lips into a smile and tucked the keychain into his bag for safekeeping.

He held the keys to the three lockers in his hand nonchalantly, planning to toss them away as soon as he left.

Anyway, it was impossible for him to come to this Gym again; originally, he had just spent 188 to gamble for 12,000.

Life was bitter enough as it was, so why bother working out? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

Seeing a Barbell lying across his path, Chen Kai was in a decent mood, so he grabbed the Barbell with one hand and helped move it aside.

He cursed under his breath about the lack of manners.

He walked out of the storage room, and before he had taken two steps, he noticed the girl in the sports vest staring at him.

Her light green sports vest had been soaked by sweat into a deep green.

Only then did Chen Kai realize why some rich people enjoyed hunting in the Gym.

Free-range chicken and factory-farmed white-feathered chicken definitely tasted different; the former was firmer and more bouncy.

He smiled, passed by the woman, and walked straight out of the Gym.

After Chen Kai left, the woman in the sports vest was slightly stunned.

Her cold eyes didn't reveal what she was thinking.

After helping out like a hero saving a damsel in distress, he didn't even ask for my Green Bubbles?

Interesting.

For the first time, a playful glint appeared in the woman's beautiful eyes.

...

Chen Kai squeezed out of the crowded elevator and couldn't help but curl his lip.

"It's so damn competitive."

He casually tossed the three locker keys from the Gym into a trash can in the Office Building, exited the building, and got on his Electric Scooter.

After setting the navigation, he headed straight for Yunshang Pavilion.

In less than an hour, Chen Kai parked his vehicle in front of the Yunshang Pavilion shop.

He suddenly noticed a small stall had appeared right across the street from Yunshang Pavilion.

The stall even had Tang Sancai and bronze wares.

The most impressive part was that there was even a sword of goujian!

The old man sitting in front of the stall wearing sunglasses also noticed Chen Kai's gaze.

He secretly beckoned to him, "Young man, what do you think of this sword of mine? It's a family heirloom!"

Chen Kai chuckled; he finally understood how those "National Treasure" groups came to be.

With this kind of sales method, if the Palace Museum has one, my having one would be considered low-profile.

He quickly waved his hand and turned to dive into the Yunshang Pavilion shop.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Chen Kai saw a Fatty sitting in front of the Counter playing a game; judging by his complexion, he was clearly tilted.

"Godson, if you're trash, practice more!"

Chen Kai chuckled, walked into the shop, and sat directly opposite the Counter.

He placed the keychain on the Appraisal tray.

"No way! This jungler is so damn terrible. When I asked him why he wouldn't gank, he said he was busy picking lingzhi in the jungle! And then he tells me, 'Because I'm the jungler.'"

"Screw his grandfather."

Chen Kai couldn't help but laugh out loud, "He's not wrong, you know."

"Lost! Damn it!"

Zheng Liu Chang exited the game indignantly and tossed his phone onto the table.

His gaze suddenly landed on the copper coin in the tray.

He was just about to remind Chen Kai that most copper coins weren't worth anything, just a few bucks each, and not to lose money trying to Score a Bargain.

His eyes suddenly caught the four characters of emperor taipings era currency on the copper coin.

"Oh? emperor taipings era currency? Well, even if it's cheap, it shouldn't be that cheap. Can I clean it up?"

Zheng Liu Chang produced a small brush and a dustpan from somewhere.

"Go ahead, picked it up on the road, see if it's worth anything."

Chen Kai spouted nonsense, watching as Zheng Liu Chang's expression instantly turned serious as he put on white gloves and began brushing the copper coin.

After carefully cleaning it for a long time, Zheng Liu Chang's expression became visibly excited.

He picked up a flashlight to look at it repeatedly, becoming extra careful while cleaning off the rust.

"Holy crap! You kid Scored a Bargain again! This is the iron mother coin version of the emperor taipings era currency!"

Chen Kai smiled, deliberately pretending not to know much.

"How much is this worth?"

"This thing isn't cheap. If it were in good condition, it would be 18,000 to 20,000, but yours is just average.

The good news is, aside from the rust, a simple restoration could make it a small boutique item.

Also... this red string of yours has some value too; it's silk, dyed with cinnabar."

"This bead, if I'm not mistaken, should be gold. We don't buy gold; I'll take it off for you later, and you can go sell it at a gold shop."

Chen Kai was stunned; the red string was valuable too?

Was there real gold hanging on his keychain? And he got an unexpected bonus?

It was truly unexpected; based on the intel, only the copper coin was supposed to be valuable.

"Then sell the red string together? How much?"

He asked curiously.

"This copper coin... normally I'd offer 11,000, needing to keep some profit margin for various reasons, but since I've already helped you clean the rust, I'll take it as a small boutique item.

Let's say 13,000. 13,000 plus the red string, 15,000."

"You go sell this gold separately. I feel like it's gold; the weight is different. How about you let me take a bite?"

Zheng Liu Chang said jokingly.

"Don't even think about it. I have to put it in my pocket later; that's too gross!"

Chen Kai showed a look of disgust; an extra 2,000 was truly an unexpected surprise.

"Look, I kindly helped you check the gold, and you think I'm gross. You're really hurting your Brother's feelings."

Zheng Liu Chang clutched his chest, putting on an expression of excruciating pain.

"Cut it out!"

Chen Kai quickly waved his hand, suddenly remembering the livestreaming matter.

"Right, let me tell you something serious."

Zheng Liu Chang gradually withdrew his playful expression.

"Are you... going to treat me to a foot massage?"

"Massage your head! Have you been scrolling TikTok lately?"

"Yeah, I have. The female streamers are indeed quite pretty, but not as pretty as our boss, so it's not really interesting."

Zheng Liu Chang curled his lip, unable to understand why those big spenders would gift so much just to hear a "crow meat Brother~"

They were also incredibly ugly; you could tell at a glance they'd never eaten good pork.

"You damn... I'm talking to you seriously. Haven't you noticed that there aren't many people in the Appraisal livestreaming track lately? I think you could give it a try; your professional knowledge is solid enough."

"This... livestreaming Appraisal? Would it work? Come to think of it, I really haven't scrolled past any peers livestreaming. It actually seems like there's potential."

Zheng Liu heard this and thought about it seriously.

"I think if you start an Appraisal livestream, you could boost your own performance and earn some gift money on the side."

"But I don't know how to create that kind of livestreaming entertainment effect."

Chen Kai twitched his lips, "What's so hard about that? If it's real, just say it's authentic; if it's super authentic, just say it's authentic enough to reach the Southern Heaven Gate! For those that will set you up for life, just play some 'Chun Ting Xue', won't that create the entertainment effect?"

"Livestream Appraisal in the first half of the night, and livestream leg-viewing in the second half."

"Don't say that! Wait, actually, that's not a bad idea, Godfather! You've got a brain on you; no wonder you can Score a Bargain so often! I'll try it tonight!"

Zheng Liu Chang had an epiphany, as if touched on the head by Nangong Wenya, and seriously noted his words in his memo.

[Livestream leg-viewing in the second half of the night.]

Chen Kai nodded and accepted the transfer from Zheng Liu Chang. The words were said; it was now up to him to see if he could seize this opportunity.

"Then I'm off; going to sell the gold."
