Having started using the Observation Skill, Shen Qiang walked around the elegant store, glancing at each antique only once and never a second ti. Such behavior made an old man frown, but at the sa ti, he was astonished to see that Sun Kaiping, Boss Ma, and a group of small antique street owners had expressions on their faces that seed to anticipate a good show.
anwhile, the expressions in the eyes of the elegant store's owner and the eldest son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion's owner beca nervous. The calr and more natural Shen Qiang strolled, the more uneasy they appeared.
"Aren't you going to help him out?" the old man instigated, "The elegant store's owner was the one who went to cause trouble at Xi Duobao before, and Shen Qiang's casual browsing won't uncover any issue. If we even thought about helping Xi Duobao get so revenge, we couldn't aid with that."
Upon hearing this, Boss Ma laughed, "Cut out that cunning trick of using a tiger to swallow the wolf; we're not fools. You just want so tangible results to report, to overhaul the market. Don't worry about that; if Xiao Qiang decides to make a move, the elegant store is done for unless it's as clean as a virgin," he said.
The old man was surprised, "Is the boss of Xi Duobao that powerful?"
Hearing this, Sun Kaiping laughed, "What do you think of the elegant store's boss? His eye power, experience, standards—are they professional or not?"
The old man slightly frowned, "The boss of the elegant store is certainly professional. If he wasn't running a store, he would certainly make a great appraiser."
Hearing this, Boss Ma laughed and said with a face full of scorn, "If the elegant store's owner could be an expert, then the boss of Xi Duobao could be an ancestor master."
Seeing the old man's astonishnt, Boss Ma chuckled, "Don't think less of him because he's young. Here in the antique market, he's famous for being able to discern real from fake with just one glance."
The old man's eyes lit up, "One glance to determine real or fake? What do you an?"
Boss Ma laughed and said, "Regardless of the object, just let him have a look, and he can imdiately tell you which dynasty it's from."
The old man was stunned, "That powerful?"
Boss Ma laughed, "Don't believe ? Ask them!"
The old man turned his head and imdiately saw Sun Kaiping, who smiled slightly and said, "Xi Duobao's owner Shen Qiang used to do appraisals for others here in the antique market. He charged a hundred thousand per appraisal and never made a mistake."
The old man's eyes brightened, "Impressive!"
And almost simultaneously, the other small owners said to the old man with a laugh, "That's nothing impressive. You haven't seen Shen Qiang picking up overlooked treasures in the market. That's truly amazing. With one glance, he can discern the authenticity and has never made a mistake."
"Exactly, Shen Qiang is famous for his one-glance discernnt of authenticity. His ability far surpasses any of those appraisal expert teams."
The old man was shocked, "Is he really that powerful? Has he beco an Immortal?"
Boss Ma burst into laughter, "Shen Qiang's eye power is indeed like that of an Immortal, but even he has a weakness."
"Weakness?" The old man's eyes brightened, "Do tell."
Boss Ma laughed, "Too young, not enough experience, and not sensitive to numbers."
"What do you an?" inquired the old man, puzzled.
Boss Ma explained with a laugh, "It ans he can judge the authenticity, but when it cos to how much an item is really worth, he's clueless about the numbers. He knows which ones are good and which are real, but if you ask him to price those treasures, he's completely baffled."
The old man was stunned, "Doesn't he know numbers?"
Everybody burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Stop joking, Shen Qiang is even sharper than a monkey. How could he not know numbers?"
"Exactly, he wouldn't misplace a single penny."
"He's just not sensitive to numbers."
"Hahaha, Shen Qiang seems to be naturally clueless about prices; the math teacher must have been a PE teacher, so the things in his store are never priced too high."
The old man was startled and after a mont of hesitation said, "I understand now, his Eye Power is formidable, but he's not sensitive to prices, so often he can't truly understand how much his items are actually worth."
Mr. Ma laughed, "If it weren't the case, Ancient Moon Pavilion would have dominated Jianghu by now. So if you really want to move to an antique shop, just bring him along. Unless that shop is as clean as a virgin, it will basically be ruined."
Upon hearing this, the old man's confidence greatly increased, and he looked at Shen Qiang with eyes full of anticipation.
Almost at the sa ti, Shen Qiang, who had been browsing in the shop, stopped walking.
In fact, even from a hostile standpoint,
Shen Qiang had a high degree of approval for the antiques in the Observing the Micro shop.
Because after activating his Observation Skill, Shen Qiang had looked at several dozen antiques, all of which were genuine.
But unfortunately,
the owner of Observing the Micro was a cunning rchant.
He was very shrewd.
He knew that selling fakes was the sa as lying.
You need to mix eight parts genuine with two parts fake to make it undetectable and unpredictable.
The porcelain vase in front of him was one such product.
The vase had very minor cracks at the bottom and top, and it seed flawed. It was marked as a Yuan and Qing dynasty porcelain, and it was especially cheap, priced at only 700,000.
But in fact, the lower part of the vase was genuine, but from that crack upward, it was fake.
If an ordinary Appraiser only focused on the bottom, it would look genuine.
He gently tapped the porcelain vase with his hand.
Afterwards, Shen Qiang successively discovered several items, almost all assembled and disguised with the sa technique.
Among them was a set of calligraphic paintings; the signature and inscription were genuine, but the painting was fake.
After pointing these out one by one, Shen Qiang even smiled and directly clarified where they were fake and where they were genuine.
Instantly, the face of Observing the Micro's owner turned pale.
The owner of Ancient Moon Pavilion also turned ashen.
"Close for rectification, accept the investigation, wait for further notice."
Having said that, the old man didn't even pay attention to the desperate pleas of the Observing the Micro's owner.
He directly had soone post a notice demanding rectification in front of Observing the Micro.
Subsequently, when Shen Qiang followed the old man to Ancient Moon Pavilion.
The owner of Ancient Moon Pavilion, knowing he couldn't escape, cowered. He pulled Shen Qiang aside and whispered, "Shen Qiang, I beg for your rcy. If you let Ancient Moon Pavilion off today, I promise from now on, we'll stay out of each other's way and never trouble you again."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "What are you saying? Begging now? What were you thinking earlier? When you chose to make trouble during the opening of my Happy Treasure, did you ever consider if there were actually any fakes there, I would be ruined?"
"Did you show any rcy? Now, you're asking for my rcy? What a joke! Not only am I going to point out all your fakes but I'm also going to drive both your Ancient Moon Pavilion and Observing the Micro off this street. If not, my last na isn't Shen Qiang!"
