Chapter 54: Treasure Appraisal Skill

We really don’t have to worry about him. If Gao Shaolin keeps this up, he might just be invited to the police station for a little chat.

After all, those robbers were caught right here by the authorities, and Gao Shaolin’s unusual behavior might already be noted by someone.

Without Tan Yanlu’s golden finger, Gao Shaolin is nothing but an ordinary person. Moreover, when he was still a Weasel Spirit, he schemed to seize others’ luck for himself, which is quite a wicked act. If he can live a peaceful life until old age, that would be a stroke of good fortune for him.

“Well then, if that’s the case, why hasn’t my mission reward been issued yet?” Jiang Pan Yu was particularly concerned about this mission reward. Was that one-time Treasure Appraisal Skill really as she imagined it to be?

“The reward hasn’t been distributed yet, which means this event point hasn’t completely passed. The host still needs to be cautious to avoid any unforeseen changes,” the Gossip System reminded her.

This warning made Jiang Pan Yu immediately alert. Yes, Gao Shaolin wanting to obtain Tan Yanlu’s golden finger wasn’t limited to a specific time; as long as today wasn’t over, an accident could happen at any moment.

Just like last time when Tan Yanlu fell into the water, they had clearly seen Gao Shaolin riding his bike away from the village, yet he appeared right when Tan Yanlu needed saving. So, they couldn’t afford to be careless!

Walking in the cold wind, Jiang Pan Yu felt a twinge of regret. They should have stayed at the police station until dawn before returning to the village, but now that they were out, it was too late to say anything.

After thinking it over, she couldn’t come up with a good plan, so she tightly held Tan Yanlu’s hand and headed toward Lianshan Village, silently praying that Gao Shaolin would be taken to the police station for tea, even if it was just for two hours!

(ー_ー)!!

That way, they could safely make it home. Once they reached Lianshan Village, even if the plot point still wouldn’t let Tan Yanlu off the hook and someone needed to come to her rescue, with so many neighbors around Wu Dama’s house, someone could lend a hand, and Gao Shaolin would be out of the picture.

Perhaps heaven truly heard Jiang Pan Yu’s prayers, as Gao Shaolin appeared at the police station after lingering at the recycling station for over an hour.

There was no tea to drink; the staff repeatedly questioned him about why he was loitering at the recycling station. Unless he provided a proper reason, he wouldn’t be allowed to leave the police station.

Gao Shaolin himself didn’t know why he was hanging around there. He had a day off that afternoon, and after leaving the hospital, he subconsciously headed toward the recycling station, but by the time he got there, there was hardly anyone around.

Yet he still refused to leave, wandering around like a headless chicken. If he hadn’t been brought to the police station, he might still be there wandering aimlessly!

Under the staff’s questioning, his mind felt like mush, and he couldn’t come up with a proper reason. After stammering for a long time, he couldn’t even string together a coherent sentence.

He really looked like a suspect. The investigators exchanged glances and decided they couldn’t let this guy go easily; they needed to investigate further.

On Jiang Pan Yu’s side, they finally returned to Lianshan Village without incident. She let out a sigh of relief just as she heard the system announce the reward: “Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Your reward has been issued to your Personal Space.

This mission’s progress has increased by ten percent, bringing the total progress to thirty-five percent.

We hope the host will continue to work hard and strive for a hundred percent progress soon!”

Jiang Pan Yu exhaled deeply, her tense shoulders finally relaxing, and she walked more lightly.

Lian Xiuran, being quite the gentleman, escorted Tan Yanlu and Jiang Pan Yu back to Wu Dama’s house before returning to the Educated Youth residence himself.

It was already quite late, and they hadn’t eaten dinner. They simply steamed the food they had packed from the Peace Hotel at noon and paired it with a couple of steamed buns to make do for a meal.

After eating and washing up briefly, Jiang Pan Yu eagerly returned to her room, chasing after the Gossip System to ask, “Guagua, how do I use this one-time Treasure Appraisal Skill? What are its effects? How long does it last?”

The Gossip System quickly provided the usage method and functions of the skill: the one-time Treasure Appraisal Skill only requires you to tap it on your head to activate the usage time, which lasts for only two hours.

The Treasure Appraisal Skill allows you to recognize all kinds of treasures, whether they are gold, silver, copper, iron, antiques, or famous paintings; it can identify them all.

It is applicable for gambling stones and even mining, but don’t expect this skill to help you pick lottery numbers; it can’t predict winning numbers.

Even so, its functionality is quite extraordinary, which is why it can only be used once; once the time is up, it will automatically be destroyed.

Jiang Pan Yu can use this skill whenever she wants, as there are no restrictions on the timing; as long as she manages the time and place well, she could make a fortune with this skill.
