82: The Fourfold Test (Part 3)

“Sorry, everyone, I’m not considering selling this vase at the moment.”

“I’m not short on money, so keeping it at home as a decoration is perfectly fine.”

For Li Youqian, money was now just a string of numbers.

He was no longer the Li Youqian who lacked money; he was now Li Rich!

“Quan Ge, how is it? Can you confirm it?”

Li Youqian asked with a smile.

If it weren’t for Li Youqian’s generosity, Ting Quan would have thought he had entered the Heavenly Bureau again.

Such a valuable item, and one whose whereabouts were so clear, Ting Quan dared not make a conclusion lightly.

“President Qian, this younger brother is shallow and dares not confirm.”

“Mainly because this is… simply incredible!”

The books clearly stated there were only seven, and now an eighth suddenly appeared. Who wouldn’t be dumbfounded by that?

Such a situation had never occurred before!

As for the one in the Forbidden City being swapped…

That was unspeakable.

“Alright, then consider it half completed, but the reward will also be halved.”

[(75) I'm Really Rich gifted the streamer - Listen to the spring and appraise treasures holy dragon descends * 1.... * 100! (10,000,000 Douyin Coins)]

“Oh my, thank you to my elder brother for another one hundred holy dragon descends.”

“It’s a pity this younger brother lacks discernment and didn’t get the other half.”

[Holy crap, the reward for the second stage doubled directly?]

[According to that, wouldn’t the third stage be 4 million?]

[The fourth stage… *hiss* ~]

[Xiao Quan, come down, you can’t handle this, let your master do it!]

[Hahahaha, how could Ting Quan’s master watch a live stream?]

[But this person is indeed a big shot!]

…

“How about it? Do you still want to proceed with the third stage?”

“If you can’t pass the third stage, you’ll have to give out one hundred 10,000-diamond red packets in the live stream.”

“How about it?”

Li Youqian had already checked before coming; this guy Ting Quan was not generally stingy when giving out red packets.

For a live stream with 500,000 people, it was understandable he only gave out 50 Douyin Coin red packets.

The most crucial thing was that he even opened several alt accounts to snatch them!

Of course, he was very generous when giving out physical red packets.

[Hahahaha, President Qian, you understand Ting Quan too well!]

[You can ask Ting Quan to give out phones, but ask him to give out 10,000 Douyin Coins? You might as well kill him!]

[Someone who casually gives out 50 or 100 Douyin Coins, and you ask him to give out 10,000?]

[President Qian, are you trying to make things difficult for him?]

“I can do it!”

“Since my elder brother is so straightforward, this younger brother can’t be stingy!”

“I accept this challenge!”

He had already earned enough tonight, not just from gifts but also a lot of traffic.

Li Youqian asking him to give out red packets was also to help him capitalize on this wave of traffic.

After all, one hundred red packets, added together, were only 1,000,000 Douyin Coins.

“Don’t worry, Quan Ge, I won’t make things difficult for you. The third stage only has two items.”

“And these two items are also very famous.”

When Ting Quan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Would it be another item that suddenly appeared this time?

What was the background of this elder brother?

Could it be that he truly entered the game himself?

While Ting Quan was thinking, Li Youqian had already pushed open the bedroom door.

“These two items, I’m preparing to hand them over.”

“But before I hand them over, I want you to help me take a look.”

[Goodness, items that need to be handed over??]

[The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes!]

[Could it be a national treasure?]

[If it’s a national treasure, then today will be interesting.]

Soon, the news that a national treasure was suspected to appear in Ting Quan’s live stream quickly climbed to the top of the hot searches.

More and more netizens poured into the live stream.

500,000… 1,000,000… 2,000,000!

And it was still increasing!

“Elder brother, what exactly is it? So mysterious!”

Ting Quan’s voice was already a little shaky; the number of people in his live stream was too high.

A slight mistake and the live stream would be shut down.

“Then do you want to see the serious stuff first, or…?”

Li Youqian’s question directly stumped Ting Quan. Seeing the serious stuff first would bring a lot of traffic but would be uncontrollable.

No matter what, he had to see it sooner or later, so he gambled!

“Elder brother, let’s look at the serious stuff first, and the small dishes last.”

“Okay.”

After speaking, Li Youqian took out the xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty.

[Holy crap! A prison-sitting artifact!]

[This is truly serious stuff!]

[Why does this thing look so familiar??]

[Bronze ware!! The ‘touch it and you die’ series!]

“This… this is the xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty?”

After seeing it clearly, Ting Quan couldn’t sit still.

“Isn’t this thing in the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, USA?”

“But, this is clearly real!!”

The xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty, no experienced appraisal expert would mistake it.

Because it involved national humiliation.

“I remember now, some time ago the xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty was bought by a mysterious buyer for a huge sum of money.”

“Could it be… this was your doing, elder brother?”

Li Youqian looked at Ting Quan on the screen with surprise. This had just happened, and Ting Quan actually knew?

“That’s right, it was me.”

“It’s not convenient to disclose exactly how much it cost.”

Although it was bought back by the system, he was the host of the system, so Li Youqian saying he bought it back was actually not wrong.

[Then will you reimburse it?]

No.

Upon hearing Li Youqian admit it himself, another thought suddenly popped into Ting Quan’s mind.

“Then… the zi zha nong bird zun, was it also bought back by you, elder brother?”

“That’s right, I had someone buy them back together.”

Hearing Li Youqian’s answer, Ting Quan stood up and slowly bowed.

“President Qian is righteous.”

“I’ll give a quick lesson to the brothers in the live stream. The xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty was in 1952…”

After hearing the origins of the xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty and the zi zha nong bird zun, the viewers were also incredibly excited.

The national treasures that had been lost abroad had finally returned to the embrace of their motherland.

[Sir is righteous!]

[Sir deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!!]

[Sir’s family tree should have a separate page.]

[This is the idol we should worship.]

Although Li Youqian didn’t say how much he spent to buy them back, these two national treasures had been lost abroad for many years and had not been bought back.

This was enough to show how difficult it was.

“Elder brother, presumably the other treasure for the third challenge is the zi zha nong bird zun, right?”

“That’s right.”

Li Youqian was not surprised that Ting Quan could guess the other item; anyone who wasn’t stupid would know what the other challenge was.

“Since you’ve already guessed, then I should give you your reward.”

Hearing this, Ting Quan quickly stopped him. Although he loved money, it depended on the person.

“Elder brother, you’ve already paid so much to buy back two national treasures, so I don’t want the reward.”

“As long as you let me see the zi zha nong bird zun, that’s enough.”

He had seen the real xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty in the United States, but he had never had time to see the zi zha nong bird zun.

Being able to see the real thing now could be considered fulfilling a small wish of his.

“Okay.”

Li Youqian was not pretentious either. Since Ting Quan had said so, it would be undignified for him to insist on giving money.
