Chapter 173: After the Wealthy Lady Went Bankrupt – 16

Everyone followed Ren Xin on a forced march, traveling for two hours without a moment’s rest. Finally, Ren Xin came to a halt. Before them stood a massive bronze gate.

The professors lost their composure and rushed forward to examine it, but Ren Xin waved them back. “Don’t go over yet. This is coated in lethal poison. You’ll need professional equipment.”

Her words brought everyone to their senses. While Mo Qiuyang was considering the best way to handle the situation, Ren Xin slapped the bronze gate with her palm, and the doors swung open.

Everyone: “…” Didn’t you just say not to touch it?

Ren Xin looked smug. “Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t!”

The scene before them left everyone in shock. Good heavens, it looked like an entire national treasury had been buried here!

There were countless bronze artifacts, jade pieces, and most impressively, a massive set of ceremonial chime bells¹.

The professors went completely wild this time. Even if Ren Xin told them at this moment that touching anything would mean instant death, they likely wouldn’t have listened.

Mo Qiuyang was also momentarily dazed. He picked up the items, examining them one by one, his eyes brimming with joy.

Ren Xin squatted to the side to rest. She felt that grave robbing—or rather, “excavation”—was a truly promising career path. How could she have forgotten this particular talent for making a fortune?

Book Spirit Number One immediately appeared to stop her. 【Host, you are currently operating alongside the government, so your Virtue Points won’t be damaged. However, if you were to act on your own, the nature of the act would be entirely different.】

Ren Xin sighed. She wanted to go home. She wondered how many treasures her old friends had accumulated after all this time. They must miss her terribly!

The spirits and monsters of her world: “???” No thanks! We’d prefer to never see you again for the rest of our lives!!

【Is this heaven on earth? Streamer, can you get a closer look?】

【Yeah, yeah! Even if I can’t own them, just seeing these things is enough to brag about for a lifetime!】

Seeing the requests, Ren Xin waved her hand and called Zhan Tian over.

“Big Sis, you called?”

“I did. I need a favor. Take the phone and do a lap around the room. Show the people in the livestream the scene!”

Zhan Tian readily agreed.

“Hello everyone, I’m the assistant host for this episode. You can call me Tiantian. Next, I’ll be taking you all on a tour. Don’t forget to follow the streamer and like the video!”

Ren Xin: “…” Since when was he so professional? Is he trying to steal my business?

Zhan Tian picked up a gold artifact inlaid with turquoise and shouted at the camera, “Does anyone want this? Right now, it’s not 189,999, not 18,999, but only 8,999! If you want it, type ‘1’ in the chat. Let me see how many of you there are. I’m sourcing directly from the place of origin, guaranteed no cheating for young or old!”

【Good lord, it really is the place of origin. He went straight into the source’s nest.】

【If you dare to list it, I dare to buy it!】

【That looks like a prison sentence waiting to happen!】

【The professors are looking at Tiantian like they’re sizing him up. They’re probably wondering if this grandson is actually going to post a purchase link.】

“You guys don’t like this one? Then how about this lacquerware? Look how beautiful it is, saturated with the essence of time. You won’t lose out, and you won’t be fooled. The price I’m giving today is just because I want to be friends with everyone…”

【Then put up the link already!】

【I even restarted my server just so I could be faster when I try to grab it. This assistant host is such a tease.】

【Tell me about it!】

Ren Xin watched Zhan Tian having the time of his life and pretended nothing was happening. She shuffled over to Mo Qiuyang’s side. “What’s so interesting about these things?”
