Ever since the "Godly Rich System" came along, I've been trending on social media eve

Soon, several people entered the auction venue, followed by a testing instrument.

The person leading the group was a man who was at least 60 years old, wearing reading glasses. He slowly walked up the steps and came to the auctioneer's side.

"Mr. Hu, thank you for your help today." Mingyu quickly went over to help him up, his tone full of respect.

Old Hu adjusted his reading glasses, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. "Show me the painting."

"Wow, they even invited Old Hu. That's giving her way too much credit."

"Old Hu is a leading figure in the field of antique appraisal. Only this auction house could immediately invite Old Hu to come and appraise it."

"That's right, I didn't expect to see Mr. Hu's appraisal in person, it's really enlightening."

"Let's see if that woman is still so calm after Old Hu's appraisal." A sarcastic voice appeared, belonging to the same person who had just spoken up, with a disdainful smile on his face.

"Stop arguing, let's wait until Old Hu finishes his assessment before we talk."

The others glanced at her with amusement, but said nothing, focusing their attention on Old Hu's direction.

Old Hu took the gloves handed to him from the side, put on the white gloves, and carefully unrolled the scroll. Through the magnifying glass, Old Hu could roughly tell that the painting was no more than a month old, as for the specifics...

Old Hu asked the people next to him to bring out the auxiliary testing technology for identification...

Not long after, Old Hu raised his head, looked at the people present, his gaze somewhat serious, and said, "Who among you said this painting is a fake?"

"She! She's the one sitting in the very front, in the middle."

"Mr. Hu, she also said that this image quality won't last more than a month,"

"Yes, that's her. I suggest putting her on the auction permanently."

"Get them out, otherwise they'll bother everyone."

.......

Listening to the discussions throughout the room, Old Hu looked in Lin Xi's direction and saw that there was no panic in her eyes, and she appeared extremely calm. He nodded to himself in approval.

"She also said the image quality wouldn't last more than a month?" Old Hu asked curiously.

"Yes, Mr. Hu, she even had the audacity to say that she could tell at a glance that the painting was no more than a month old. Isn't that ridiculous? Does she think she's a professional appraiser like you, able to tell at a glance?" The man finished his reply, not forgetting to belittle her while praising her.

Old Hu waved his hand dismissively, ignored what was being said behind him, and walked down the steps, stopping in front of Lin Xi.

"Young lady, how did you figure out that the image quality is no more than a month old?"

"I told you, she was just trying to attract attention. Now that Old Hu has questioned her personally, it's a kind of close contact with a celebrity. That's the idea she had."

"I'm curious how she's going to answer."

Looking at Old Hu's expression not far ahead, Ye Jinran finally felt relieved. Although he trusted her, he couldn't help but worry, after all, what if he was wrong?

He didn't miss the hint of surprise and admiration that flashed in Old Hu's eyes.

Lin Xi also stood up politely, since Old Master Hu had come in person and it wasn't appropriate for him to remain seated.

“Mr. Hu, I figured it out directly,” Lin Xi said softly.

"You were sure just by looking at it?" Old Hu was a little angry now. He felt that the young girl in front of him was being silly and had probably just guessed correctly by accident.

Everyone present could hear the anger in Old Hu's tone, and they all looked at Lin Xi with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Yes, I not only can tell that the painting is no more than a month old, but I also know that it was completed in about four days..."

As Lin Xi spoke, she gestured to Mr. Hu, and then they went to the painting together.

"Judging from the skill level of this painting, it is not a copy, but a completely new one. You can tell from the brushstrokes that it was painted freely, entirely from the artist's heart. Therefore, it is not a plagiarized fake painting."

Old Hu listened and nodded without speaking, waiting for Lin Xi to continue.

"Judging from the time the brush and ink remained on the paper, it was about four hours and 25 minutes..." Lin Xi paused here and looked at Old Hu, "Old Hu, am I right?"

Her voice was steady and powerful, every word exuding firmness and confidence, which naturally inspired admiration. The murmurs and jeers among the audience gradually subsided. Although she had not yet received Mr. Hu's approval, people were drawn to her confident demeanor.

Old Hu nodded in surprise, "That's right, but young lady, you can see so much just by looking at it?"

Upon hearing Mr. Hu's affirmative answer, a collective gasp rippled through the room.

"I didn't expect that what she said was true, and even Old Hu found it unbelievable."

"Who is this person? I've never seen anyone like him before. Is he this strong right from the start?"

"Could this be a young lady from some ancient family who has come out to gain experience?"

"I think it's possible."

"Hmph, she's probably just confused. I don't believe a woman could be that capable," a man said defiantly.

"Is it so hard to admit that someone is good? I really look down on you." A woman next to him looked at the nonchalant man in front of him and said with a face full of disdain.

"You." The man ultimately said nothing, after all, the woman's family was much more powerful than his.

Hmph, I don't believe you can stay so lucky without giving yourself away. Just you wait.

Lin Xi was unaware of what was happening below, and even if she had, she wouldn't have cared. After all, not everyone has human thoughts; some people have brains just to fill a quota.

"Maybe it's because I've been exposed to these things since I was little, there are a lot of paintings at home, so I'm naturally able to tell from them." Lin Xi said the explanation she had prepared beforehand, otherwise how could she explain the fact that her eyes were more accurate than instruments?

"Can you tell when this painting was started?" Old Hu asked, as if posing a riddle.

Lin Xi pretended to examine it with a magnifying glass for a few moments, then looked up and said, "A week ago, to be precise, it was around 5 p.m. last Friday."

"hiss."

Now it was Old Hu's turn to gasp, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Are you sure you saw it with your naked eye? Didn't you know anything beforehand or do your homework? After all, even I need to use instruments to get the data you mentioned."

"Yeah, could it be that she just happened to know that painter and that's how she found out about these things? Otherwise, it's too amazing. Her eyes are even more accurate than instruments."

"Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that possibility? After all, even Elder Hu couldn't tell completely with the naked eye. She's so young, how could her ability to discern surpass Elder Hu's? That's too outrageous."

"Exactly, exactly. I was just admiring her and speaking up for her."

"I didn't just tell with my naked eye," Lin Xi said, and Old Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't I just take a look at it with a magnifying glass?"
