Genius? Veteran?

Shi Yao felt as if she was staring at a book of advanced Mathematics problems, and questions marks could almost be seen written all over her face.
 

Who am I? Where am I? What’s happening?

 


I see…
Grandpa Lin nodded his head calmly for a moment, but in the next second, he was unable to suppress it any longer and ended up bursting into hearty laughter,
… Our Yaoyao has always been this incredible! She is always able to find ways to surprise me! Hahaha! Ahahahahahaha…

 


Old Master Lin, congratulations. You have found yourself a truly capable granddaughter-in-law,
Uncle Ge said.
 


You’re flattering me.
Even though Grandpa Lin was replying with a humble tone, there was a proud look on his face that said
You don’t say
.
 

Seeing that Grandpa Lin and Uncle Ge had forgotten the occasion and started chatting between themselves, Lin Jiayi quickly cut right in and said,
Uncle Ge, since you have managed to appraise Yaoyao’s inkstone, what about Miss Liang’s one? Her inkstone…

 

Before Lin Jiayi could finish her words, Uncle Ge had already cut right in,
The other inkstone? There’s no need for me to appraise it at all. Those who have an eye for stuff at all would be able to tell that it’s fake with a single look.

 


Fake?
Liang Mumu, who had been confident all this while, looked as if she had heard an unbelievable thing. She exclaimed out loud,
How is that possible? I spent 300,000 RMB to buy this! How can it be fake?

 

Shi Yao was equally shocked as well.
 

The inkstone that Liang Mumu spent 300,000 RMB to buy was a fake whereas the one she spent 200 RMB on was real?
 

Liang Mumu wanted to scheme against her, but in the end, she ended up getting done in herself… Just what kind of luck was this? Despite AFK-ing all this while, she still somehow managed to clear the stage?
 


There’s no doubt that it is fake. Look at the patina on the inkstone. It looks artificial because it has been painted over with oil. As for the jade, it’s just a stone that is close in resemblance to jade,
Uncle Ge explained calmly to Liang Mumu,
 

After that, he turned to Grandpa Lin and said,
Old Master Lin, I would like to chat with Miss Shi for a while. Would it be fine if I take her away for a moment?

 


Of course, feel free,
Grandpa Lin replied heartily.
 


Thank you, Old Master Lin.

 

After that, Uncle Ge turned to Shi Yao and asked,
Miss Shi, may I ask where you have learned your appraising skills from?

 

Appraising skills? 

 

Just hearing all of that professional jargon about what patina and the sort is enough to leave my head spinning. How could I possibly know anything about appraising at all?

 

Besides, even if I had the talent for that, it’s not as if those antiques could be eaten anyway. As a self-certified glutton, I would rather spend my effort on learning how to cook first… 

 

Did Uncle Ge get possessed or something? Why is he asking all of these weird questions… 

 

Even though Shi Yao was utterly baffled on the inside, the words coming out of her were still very courteous and obedient,
Uncle Ge, I have never learned appraising before.

 

She has never learned it before? How could that be possible? There’s no way an amateur can possibly fish out a real treasure with just 200 RMB!

 

Uncle Ge pondered for a moment before finally stumbling upon a logical answer,
Miss Shi, is this just your hobby?

 

With such thoughts in mind, Uncle Ge turned to Grandpa Lin and exclaimed in wonderment,
If Miss Shi is already so incredible despite only doing this for a hobby, she must be truly talented. Old Master Lin, she isn’t just a genius but a once-in-a-century prodigy!

 

Once-in-a-century prodigy?

 


??????
Shi Yao blinked her eyes blankly.
 

Did she not express herself properly? Was her pronunciation that off? Or was it because Uncle Ge’s comprehension ability was still a little lacking?
