Chapter 237: Chapter 159: Original Version of the Four Great Classical Novels

Just as Peggy was hesitating about whether to remind Mr. Ze Ren, the woman representing the Collector continued speaking:

"Sir, you must be joking. The Collector, immersed in the study of legacy and Primordial Energy Technology, has avoided making new friendships for a long time. If you are willing, I, Yunxi, would be delighted to become friends with you—after all, becoming the Collector’s assistant has always been my wish."

Although she appeared to be just a little girl, her voice and tone were more like those of a mature woman.

However, just the fact that she could represent the Collector here meant her identity was far from ordinary.

Shen Shi clearly noticed that some people became much more respectful towards this woman named Yunxi.

Evidently, her ambition to become the Collector’s assistant was not just idle talk.

However, Shen Shi shook his head.

"Since the Collector has no intention of coming, then never mind."

The reason he said these words was, of course, not to invite ridicule.

After all, Shen Shi understood the significance of the Collector entering the Gus Land to human civilization. In the number one future trajectory, the Collector gained a status in the black market second only to Shen Shi and Gong Chu by this alone.

And the reason for his actions now was that Shen Shi recognized this as a good opportunity before him.

An opportunity to establish his own image and build his status.

Although he had just arrived here, such opportunities were rare.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Shen Shi, having made up his mind, looked at the others and said loudly, "From obtaining the terminal to entering this place, it has only been a matter of hours. Indeed, this is my first time knowing a place like this exists within our civilization, but I see opportunity here, and I am very certain that my arrival is an opportunity for many people here."

"This newcomer, hurry up and start trading the Holy Relic," someone finally couldn’t help but speak, "Opportunity isn’t talked into existence, it must be substantiated."

"Newcomers always seem so full of energy."

"You haven’t even answered the Collector’s question. Could it be that you don’t even know what Gus Land is?"

Though only a handful of voices, it was clear that Shen Shi’s overly confident speech had provoked some discontent.

If he hadn’t been holding the Holy Relic, it wouldn’t have been just those few people.

But only Peggy beside him seemed to faintly realize something.

Because from her conversations with Shen Shi, she gathered that this gentleman was not someone with a thick skin or an excessively confident personality.

Thinking about the name "Antique Dealer" again.

Could it be...

Peggy thought of a possibility, and a trace of anticipation emerged within her.

"No need to rush," Shen Shi smiled, "Since I’m already attracting everyone here upon my arrival, I think I might as well take this opportunity to hold an auction at Boss Zhou’s precious place—you wouldn’t think I have only this Jade Pendant to sell, would you."

The moment he finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.

The few who spoke up earlier were now silent as crows and sparrows.

Because the meaning in Shen Shi’s words was unmistakably clear.

Does this person have more antiques?

From his tone, is this Holy Relic not even the best item in his possession?

Those who had spoken earlier now felt a pang of regret.

They originally thought they had no chance to get the Holy Relic, hence they didn’t place much importance on this "newcomer."

But if this "newcomer" really was someone with valuable antique resources, their previous words would have been incredibly foolish.

"So, the esteemed guest isn’t just here to trade the Sage Saint Relics," Boss Zhou was the fastest to react, and he approached with a smile, "This is the Ancient Fragrance Pavilion, if there’s really something good, you must let Old Zhou have a look first."

This was obviously a more tactful way of speaking.

The implication was for him to do the appraisal.

Although market terminals can judge age and authenticity by themselves, for some added value, only an antique dealer with some knowledge can understand.

"I was just about to seek Boss Zhou’s advice," Shen Shi also smiled as he looked at Boss Zhou and asked, "Boss Zhou, what type of antique do you think I should present first?"

This question clearly changed the atmosphere on the scene.

Although nobody spoke, the spread of emotions was already different.

Because from this sentence, it was possible to sense this person’s strong confidence!

Even Boss Zhou, at this time, was equally uncertain and full of wonder.

Is this really an individual with a wealth of antique resources?

Which family could he have come from?

Though continually guessing in his mind, on the surface, he remained unaffected and simply laughed: "Well, esteemed guest, you’ve certainly asked the right person. When it comes to knowledge of antiques, Old Zhou may not compare to the Collector, but compared to other peers, I am certainly not inferior—among all antiques, the most valued are the four words: calligraphy, painting, music, and sight. People spend greatly to acquire antiques not just for collection and trade; I believe most do so to manifest a more realistic and powerful world in their consciousness. Therefore, sir, feel free to start with these four words as a show for everyone."
