Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

"Hold!"

Sitting in his office, Wang Haichuan watched as the top spot on the leaderboard, which he had just secured after spending 300,000 yuan, was overtaken in less than half a minute. The overtake was so intense that Wang Haichuan felt a stomachache and almost spat blood onto his phone screen!

"I'm a renowned archaeology professor, you think you can't even give me this much face?"

Considering I only have three yuan left in my bank account, and looking at Shending Group's current situation, it seems I definitely won't be the top spender today.

What Wang Hai regrets most is that if he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have needed to spend the previous 300,000 yuan to get second place anyway!

Now look what happened! I tightened my belt, gritted my teeth, and spent 300,000 yuan, and I'm still second place!

Even if it's a 'very big and thick' penis, a penis is still a penis!

"Your ancestors at Shen Ding Group were tomb raiders, the Unloading Ridge Warriors, and now they're showering the Mojin Captain's livestream with gifts. Aren't you afraid people will gossip behind your back?"

Wang Haichuan cursed inwardly in anger.

At the same time, the thought of the Unloading Warriors made Wang Haichuan frown. He immediately found a phone stand in his desk drawer, propped up his phone, and stopped doing his work.

Wang Haichuan wanted to see what the Shen Ding Group's frantic gift-giving and competition for the top spot on the leaderboard meant!

Shen Ding Group is awesome!!!

Is this streamer the godson of the Shending Group?

[Bullshit! The streamer is clearly the long-lost son of the Shending Group!]

[A large-scale family reunion?]

The live stream was filled with comments and bullet screen messages.

However, one comment makes a lot of sense:

[You mere mortals know nothing! Can't you see how obvious it is? Shen Ding Group is definitely trying to poach the streamer!]

At this moment, Shending Group, which had been silently showering customers with gifts, finally spoke up:

[Shending Group: Host, I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Would it be convenient for us to connect via voice chat?]

The top-ranked user has requested to connect with me on live stream?

Although the live stream doesn't offer this service, he is still the top spender who spent 900,000 RMB in one hour.

Refusing would be incredibly inconsiderate.

"Okay, let's connect them then..."

Chen Yibai nodded in agreement and opened the live chat settings in the background. The other party immediately sent a live chat invitation.

The live stream connection was successful, and the screen was split in two.

In the other half of the scene, a stunningly beautiful woman appears. She looks to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with flowing black hair and an ethereal beauty. She wears a top-grade imperial green jade necklace around her snow-white neck, exuding a noble and refined aura.

"Oh! You're a beautiful young lady, hello, hello..."

Chen Yibai was taken aback when he realized that the person he was talking to on the live stream was a young and beautiful woman. He was so surprised that he almost lost his composure in front of more than a million netizens.

Wow, am I seeing things? Isn't that Yan Xuefei, the young princess of the Shending Group?

It's her! It's her! My goddess!

Sister Xuefei, I love you...

The viewers in the live stream instantly erupted into a frenzy, like boiling water.

It felt even more exciting and addictive than watching the carnival where hundreds of people were swiping their cards.

Judging from these comments, it seems that netizens all recognize this beautiful woman.

As Chen Yibai watched the comments section flooded with the name 'Yan Xuefei,' he seemed to have some related memories.

This Yan Xuefei is the young princess of Shending Group, Yan Tianjiu's goddaughter, and also an authoritative auctioneer at one of the largest international auction houses under Shending Group.

As for how this "adopted daughter" actually did it, nobody knows.

"Huh, how does this screen flip?"

Yan Xuefei on the other end of the video frowned slightly and muttered something under her breath. It seems she rarely does live streaming with voice chat.

"Miss, this is fine, you don't need to flip the screen."

Chen Yibai chuckled, "You have to show your face to get traffic."

Many websites use 'high definition' and 'face reveal' as gimmicks to attract traffic.

Yan Xuefei on the other end of the video shook her head and said, "Captain Chen, I have a few things here that I'd like you to take a look at..."

Oh, so it's a live treasure appraisal session!

However, this is a live stream about popularizing feng shui and ancient tombs, not an appraisal live stream. Did you come to the wrong place?

Fortunately, Chen Yibai, being a tomb raider, had some knowledge of antique appraisal.

And the viewers in the live stream were all like they were on steroids, just watching and having nothing better to do anyway.

"Miss, just double-tap the screen..."

Chen Yibai reminded him with a smile.

On another note, Chen Yibai was also very curious about what rare and valuable items their Shending Group would offer.

Wang Haichuan's side: "You spent 900,000 on gifts to compete with me for the top spot on the leaderboard, just to get Captain Chen to help you appraise your treasure? Come to me then, I'll give you a free trial!"

Wang Haichuan then thought for a moment: "That's not right! Shen Ding Group is a big player in the antique and cultural artifact industry. Top domestic experts in cultural artifact appraisal work for them. How could they possibly need to find an online streamer to do a live appraisal?"

"Are they trying to use the popularity of Chen Yibai's live stream to advertise for the group and show off?"

"That seems even more impossible. What level is the Shen Ding Group at? Why would they care about this?"

"So what exactly is Shen Ding Group up to?"

Wang Haichuan scratched his already thinning hair, and looking at the hair that had been scratched out of his palm, he felt another pang of heartache.

In the live broadcast room, as Yan Xuefei turned the camera around, the interior of a Chinese-style mansion reappeared on the screen, with top-notch Chinese-style decoration that was both noble and elegant.

What netizens saw were solid wood furniture and mink carpets, but what Chen Yibai saw was golden nanmu wood. Golden nanmu wood was everywhere, even the handrail of the spiral staircase was made of golden nanmu wood.

If this were in ancient times, it would definitely be an imperial family!

Is this the mansion of our richest man? His taste is certainly unique!

His bathroom is probably bigger than my bedroom!

[Hey buddy upstairs, stop daydreaming! His bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and the space for the bathtub is bigger than your three-bedroom apartment!]

The live stream camera followed Yan Xuefei's steps into a study.

The antique-style study is also outrageously luxurious. The desk and bookshelves, if made of solid wood, must be made of the highest grade of Phoebe zhennan wood.

Even a small piece of this table corner, if you just pry it off, could be equivalent to almost two years' income for an average family.

Although the camera only briefly glimpsed the study, Chen Yibai could tell that the bookshelves were filled to the brim with genuine ancient books.

The items on the desk, seemingly casually placed, are all valuable antiques.

This looks like an antique warehouse, but it's actually someone's study...

Finally, the live stream camera focused on a large safe in the study.

The entire black safe is nearly two meters tall, with a huge circular lock in the middle, and it also has a password, fingerprint and retinal recognition, making it look very futuristic.

"Captain Chen, please wait a moment, let me open the safe first..."

Yan Xuefei placed her phone on the ground, covering the camera lens.

"Okay, drive slowly, no rush..."

Chen Yibai smiled and responded.

Perhaps because of the groundwork laid beforehand, Chen Yibai was actually starting to feel a little excited, wondering what good things Yan Xuefei would take out of such a high-class safe.

After all, in this study where even Longquan ware is only fit to be placed on a desk as an ornament, anything that can be placed in a safe must be extraordinary!

It wasn't just Chen Yibai who was curious and expectant; two million onlookers had already flooded into the live stream, all eagerly anticipating and discussing what amazing treasure they would see next.

Could it be the Imperial Seal of the State? A symbol of divine mandate and eternal prosperity?

[Stop talking nonsense. The Imperial Seal of the State is with me. Do you think there could be two Imperial Seals of the State in this world?]

Is this all the thinking of you mere mortals? Be bold, I'd guess it's Qin Shi Huang's skull!

[The stupid Qin Shi Huang is lying in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.]

Could it be the skull of Qin Shi Huang when he was a child?

Click, click, click...

About a minute later, a series of 'click-clack-clack' gear-turning sounds came from Yan Xuefei's side.

That safe was even semi-mechanical!

The most basic mechanical principles are the safest.

"Phew...it's open..."

Yan Xuefei let out a soft sigh, picked up her phone again, and instead of pointing the camera at the safe, she pointed it at the desk and took out a purple square wooden box.

Judging from the material of the wooden box, it is made of small-leaf sandalwood. It is not very big, about 20 centimeters square, and the surface of the box is also very simple.

"Captain Chen, could you help me check the origin of this thing? Is it real or fake...?"

As Yan Xuefei spoke, she opened the sandalwood box with one hand.

Chen Yibai stared intently at his phone, his eyes wide.

The wooden box was opened, revealing a bell-shaped token, about the size of a palm, made of bronze. The gilding on the surface had peeled off badly. The front of the token featured a coiled dragon sword pattern, but at first glance, it didn't seem particularly impressive.

At least to ordinary people, this token looks very ordinary.

"Miss, could you pick it up and bring it closer?"

Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke.

"Ok!"

Yan Xuefei did as she was told, taking the token out of the sandalwood box and placing it in front of the camera.

"Turn it over and take a look..."

Yan Xuefei flipped the token over again.

The back of the token is engraved with a lifelike mythical beast, somewhat resembling the ancient Qilin, with a fierce face, fangs, and bristling mane, making it incredibly vivid.

[I'm an antique appraisal expert. Judging from the patina and shape, this item is 100% genuine. Please follow me; you can come to me for free appraisal of any antiques you have!]

[Gilded bronze, I think it dates back at least to before the Tang or Song dynasties!]

Many "know-it-alls" appeared in the live stream.

[Haha...I'm dying of laughter! I even checked with my phone and it's real. Don't you even know whose safe this thing came from?!]

[Exactly! Even if you pulled a pile of poop out of this safe, I'd believe it was from ancient times!]

Chen Yibai, however, narrowed his eyes with a serious expression and shook his head: "Miss, this isn't right, it's a high-quality fake..."
