Chapter 550: Gastric Bezoar

Chen Yu’s face was full of disdain, not knowing where Professor Wang got the confidence to test him.

“The King of Yue’s Nine Dragons Cup! It must have been a treasure offered to him by his subordinates after Gou Jian destroyed the Wu state!”

Professor Wang laughed heartily, directly pulling over a sign from beside him.

“This thing has been appraised by me personally, it’s a treasure from the Chu state during the Warring States period. You’ve got both the era and the country wrong, and you still…”

“Young man, you are truly an expert!” An elderly man hurried over: “We’ve studied it many times before, and judging from the patina on the jade, it indeed seems to be an item from the Wu Yue region during the Spring and Autumn period.”

The other researchers also crowded around Chen Yu, leaving Professor Wang out in the cold.

“Although the scripts of Wu and Yue are similar, there are differences, and the inscriptions carved on this clearly belong to Yue!”

“Clearly a relic of the Spring and Autumn period, how did it become Warring States?”

…

The scene suddenly became lively, and although these people were discussing the Nine Dragons Cup, their words were tinged with mockery of Professor Wang.

A cunning smile flickered at the corner of Chen Yu’s mouth, and he then took down an irregular black crystal from the shelf.

“Who placed this thing here? Why isn’t there a protective layer around it?”

Wu Aiai hurried over, her large eyes filled with curiosity.

“We’ve studied this before, it seems to be a piece of ambergris, but after the analysis, we found the composition wasn’t quite right!”

Chen Yu took a small hammer from the side and gently tapped the crystal’s outer black shell, which fell off just like thin crisp.

“If I’m not mistaken, this isn’t pure ambergris, but an unformed bezoar from a sperm whale’s stomach!”

Upon hearing this, everyone present became excited.

If this truly was a bezoar from a sperm whale’s stomach, then it would be a unique treasure in the world.

Now even more people crowded around, and Professor Wang was pushed to the fringe.

In less than an hour, Chen Yu had appraised every item on the shelves.

Nearly a hundred items, and he identified more than thirty exceptional treasures.

If it weren’t for Chen Yu’s visit today, these items would likely have remained dust-covered on the shelves.

Professor Wang, pushed into a corner, was furious and grabbed a megaphone from somewhere.

“What are you all doing? How can you believe a stranger so casually? I am the authority of the Core Tower! Only the appraisal reports signed by me are valid, disperse immediately, gathering here like this is unseemly!”

Everyone fell silent for just a moment, then continued to crowd around Chen Yu, discussing the treasures on the shelves.

Professor Wang’s eyes bulged, in the past a simple shout from him would have the researchers on this floor scurrying like quails, obediently following his directions, but now his words seemed to have no effect.

A profound sense of crisis suddenly rose within him.

After several deep breaths of anger, he rushed to the elevator entrance nearby and picked up the emergency phone.

Wu Aiai had been watching Professor Wang, and seeing this scene, she quickly tugged at Chen Yu.

“This is bad, Professor Wang is calling the Deputy Tower Master! You better leave quickly, our Fortuna Tower Master is very fierce.”

Chen Yu’s face was still full of disdain as he just gave Jin Lingsu a signal with his eyes.

Two golden spikes were shot out, embedding themselves right beside Professor Wang.
