Chapter 007 Picking Up a Major Authentic Antique
Lin Lang sweetly replied, "Of course, Keqing is more beautiful!"
"Her cherry lips, slender waist, crescent brows, fair skin, and long legs make her look more and more like Yang Guifei, even surpassing Xi Shi and Diao Chan!"
Gu Keqing covered her mouth and chuckled, "A Lang, your mouth must be full of honey; you always speak so sweetly?!"
Lin Lang replied, "Everything I said is from the heart. In my eyes, you are truly this beautiful!"

"Hmph~ I don't believe a word you men say!"
Lin Lang shrugged.
"A Lang, you just picked up a hundred million chinese yuan. Why don't you look very excited?"
Lin Lang replied, "I am excited. Who said I'm not excited?"
"It's just that amidst my excitement, I'm thinking of first earning a small goal of one hundred million, stepping into the initial threshold of the wealthy class, entering high society, and then using money to make more money to become a major tycoon in a region."
"When I become the richest man in Shanghai, I should feel even more excited!"
Gu Keqing pursed her lips and smiled, "A Lang, you're talking nonsense so seriously and bragging without a script. It's quite amusing."
"Heh..."
"How am I bragging without a script?"
"Just now, I picked up a hundred million chinese yuan with a cost of ten yuan. Does Keqing still not believe that I have the ability to become the richest man in Shanghai?"
Gu Keqing smiled and said, "You must have been incredibly lucky just now. You can't mistake temporary luck for actual ability, can you?"
"Heh..."
"The thing I, Lin Lang, can't tolerate the most is being underestimated by women."
"Let's continue browsing the antique market, Keqing. I want to show you how easy it is to make money, like drinking water."
"Alright!"
"Then let me see, A Lang, whether your appraisal and treasure-picking skills are just temporary luck or if you have the ability to continue picking up treasures and getting rich."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what valuable treasures you can pick up in the antique market next."
Lin Lang and the stunning Gu Keqing continued to stroll through Jing'an Temple Jewelry and Antiques City like a couple, chatting and laughing as they browsed the antique stalls.
At a miscellaneous items stall, Gu Keqing saw an old-fashioned porcelain bowl and casually asked, "Boss, how much is this porcelain bowl?"
"One hundred thirty-five thousand," the stall owner brazenly quoted.
Gu Keqing puzzled, "A broken porcelain bowl, why is it so expensive?"
The stall owner actually replied, "This is the porcelain bowl Pan Jinlian used to feed Wu Dalang medicine back then. How could it not be expensive?!"
"Is that true or false?"
The stall owner confidently replied, "Of course it's true!"
"If you like this porcelain bowl, beautiful lady, you can bargain. It's a business, so you can negotiate the price~"
Gu Keqing then looked at Lin Lang and asked with some disbelief, "A Lang, is what the stall owner said reliable?"
Because the system's virtual light screen displayed 【Yellow Appraisal Hint】, Lin Lang smiled and replied, "It's just a modern craft. It's not worth much."
Gu Keqing then pointed to a very old-looking brass pagoda on the stall and asked, "Boss, how much is this pagoda?"
The stall owner actually replied, "This is the Tota Heavenly King's Wenchang Pagoda. You can have it for twenty thousand yuan."
Gu Keqing couldn't help but laugh as she asked, "Then where did this Wenchang Pagoda of your Tota Heavenly King come from?"
The stall owner shamelessly replied, "This was left by my ancestors."
Lin Lang laughed, "If this pagoda were real, why would you still be running a stall?!"
The stall owner held up the pagoda and said, "Do I look like the Tota Heavenly King like this?"
Lin Lang teased, "I think you look like the Tota Stall King. You've really mastered the art of telling stories and fabricating tales while running an antique stall."
"The antique market is truly deep!"
"It seems that without good eyesight, trying to pick up treasures is even harder than winning the lottery." Gu Keqing and Lin Lang slowly left the miscellaneous items stall.
As Lin Lang walked, he said, "Browsing the antique market is all about having fun. Sometimes, listening to the stall owners brag and tell stories is quite interesting."
As they walked, Gu Keqing saw an old bronze cup at an antique stall and curiously asked, "Boss, how much is this bronze cup?"
The stall owner replied, "This is a Peacock Cup from the Western Zhou period. I'll sell it to you for eight thousand yuan as a treasure-picking price."
Gu Keqing then looked at Lin Lang.
Lin Lang pursed his lips and chuckled, "The stall owner just said that casually, Keqing. Just listen to it and don't take it seriously."
"Any bronze item like this at an antique stall, according to the stall owner, is either from the Eastern Zhou or Western Zhou, but in reality, they were all made to look old last week."
"If you buy one, the stall owner will turn around and put out an identical one."
"Boss, am I right?"
"Hehe..." The stall owner scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.
Gu Keqing pointed to a yellow porcelain cup on the stall and said, "A Lang, when I was visiting the Shanghai Museum, I saw a similar chicken-shaped cup."
The stall owner boasted, "This is the chicken-shaped cup Cixi Empress Dowager used for drinking tea."
Lin Lang sneered, "Boss, you're really amusing. If this chicken-shaped cup was used by Cixi Empress Dowager, why is the bottom mark from the Tang Dynasty?"
The stall owner scratched his head and awkwardly laughed, "Maybe I remembered wrong. This should be what Wu Meiniang used for tea."
"You're really something, just making things up as you go!" Lin Lang chuckled.
Gu Keqing said, "Let's go, A Lang. It seems everything at this stall is a fake. Let's browse other stalls."
Just as Lin Lang was about to leave, the virtual system light screen in front of him suddenly began to flash with golden light.
Ding! 【Sparkling Golden Appraisal Hint】 Major Authentic Antique Pick-up Hint: A pair of late Qing Dynasty lacquerware wine cups have been discovered. Peeling off the red lacquer disguise on the surface reveals a pair of priceless Tang Dynasty foreign tribute imperial rhinoceros horn cups. Their current market collection value is conservatively estimated to exceed ten million chinese yuan.
"Holy cow! This time I've picked up a huge treasure!" Lin Lang thought, secretly excited.
