Shen Wang couldn't sleep at all.

This Gold-tier SSR is amazing!

It even includes a small power plant!

"call--"

Shen Wang took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

Whether it was due to excessive excitement or the increase in physical strength, he felt no fatigue at all.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Wang took the officer's knife that Li Yunlong had given him and brought it to his side.

"Damn it, I should enjoy myself too!"

He won so many awesome prizes, but he himself is still using a Xiaomi 11 phone!

It's 2025 already, surely no one's still using a Xiaomi 11?

"No, we have to improve our living conditions!"

Shen Wang made up his mind, picked up his phone, and opened Douyin (TikTok).

I entered "昕泉鑒宝" into the search bar.

Xin Quan is a top livestreamer in the antiques circle, known for his sharp eye and humorous explanations.

At that moment, Xin Quan was live streaming, with porcelain from online viewers displayed in front of the camera, and he was talking eloquently.

Shen Wang didn't hesitate and immediately recharged his account, sending a "hot air balloon" gift, and then requested a video call.

"Thanks to this guy for the hot air balloon! So generous!"

Xin Quan saw the gift and the connection request, and smiled as she clicked "accept".

"Please be patient, there are two other people ahead of us in line, it will be over soon."

While waiting, Shen Wang's heart began to race.

Finally, Xin Quan's voice came through the earpiece: "Okay, let's connect with this friend next and see what wonderful treasures they brought today!"

The camera cuts to Shen Wang's live stream, with the background showing the walls of his rather plain rented room.

"Hello, Brother Quan, and hello everyone."

Shen Wang adjusted the camera angle, aiming it at the officer's sword.

"Brother Quan, could you please take a look at this knife?" Shen Wang said.

"Whoa! A commander's sword!"

Xin Quan became interested and leaned forward slightly.

"Hey friend, that knife of yours...it looks interesting!"

"Come on, my friend, zoom in a bit, yes, even closer... Okay, hold on, let me take a good look at the forging patterns and rust on the blade..."

"Let's look around some more, yes, take it slow, let me see the lacquer on the scabbard and those metal parts..."

"Hiss—you know what…you really shouldn't say that…"

As Xin Quan directed Shen Wang to demonstrate from various angles, he muttered to himself, his expression gradually shifting from relaxed to serious.

The chat in the live stream also became active:

"Holy crap! This design! A general's sword? Is it for real?"

"Look at that patina and rust, it seems promising!"

"Look, streamer! There seems to be an inscription on the hilt! The camera shook for a moment!"

"If that were true, it would be incredibly awesome!"

……

After a very careful examination, Xin Quan finally leaned back and adjusted his glasses:

"That's too open-minded!"

"Friend, this knife of yours is way too open!"

"Whether it's the forging process of the blade, the hamon (blade pattern), the style and details of the tsuba (handguard) and hilt, or the overall sense of age, it all matches the characteristics."

"All things considered, I personally believe this is a genuine Japanese Army Major General-level sword!"

The moment these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded.

"Wow--!"

"Awesome! (voice cracks)"

"That's truly a general's sword!"

"Your friend is rich now!"

"How much is this worth?"

"Wow, this guy's family background is way too fake (doge)!"

……

A real Japanese major general's sword appeared in Jianbao's live stream, instantly boosting the show's entertainment value!

Shen Wang was certain; it seemed the system's "aging" function was flawless.

He pressed his advantage, asking, "Brother Quan, what do you think this knife is worth?"

Xin Quan hesitated for a moment, then picked up the calculator next to him and pressed the keys twice.

II. Zero equals two zeros!

"20 million?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wang's brows furrowed unconsciously.

This price is far below his expectations!

He originally thought that a genuine Japanese officer's sword would cost at least several hundred thousand or even a million.

The result was only 20?

Viewers in the live stream also felt that the price was a bit low:

"Only 20? No way! That's a major general's sword!"

"That seems too little. Shouldn't it start at 50?"

"Did Brother Quan misjudge the situation?"

……

Xin Quan saw the questions in the comments and calmly explained, "People may have a misconception that because the officer's knife is very rare, it must be priceless."

"That's right, the general's swords we captured are indeed very rare, but quite a few have survived to this day!"

"The Japanese have plenty! The number of surviving officer's swords isn't as small as everyone thinks..."

After Xin Quan's explanation, the netizens understood.

Few were seized, but many have survived!

Moreover, no one can prove whether the knife was captured or passed down from the Japanese.

In fact, if it were truly a captured officer's sword, it would have been placed in a museum long ago, as there are written historical records to support that.

To put it bluntly, most of the officer's swords on the market today are from the Japanese army, so they are not expensive.

Shen Wang listened and nodded in understanding.

Quan Ge is right; without proof of origin, the value is indeed greatly reduced.

However, at a price of 20, there's no need to sell it; it's better to keep it as a souvenir.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Quan, I understand."

As Shen Wang spoke, he prepared to put the knife back into the wooden box.

He thought to himself, "Anyway, the brigade commander will soon be collecting a batch of antiques and jewelry to exchange for tanks. There will definitely be something more valuable then, so I'll keep this knife for now."

However, just as he picked up the knife, preparing to close the box lid—

"etc!!!"

On the other end of the video, Xin Quan suddenly let out a nearly broken shout, startling Shen Wang and everyone in the live stream!

"Friend! Don't move! Don't move!!"

Xin Quan's voice was filled with unprecedented urgency and excitement, her eyes fixed on the movements of Shen Wang's hands.

"Put the knife down! Yes, put it down gently! Aim the camera at the wooden box containing the knife! Quick! Aim it at that!"

Shen Wang was taken aback by Xin Quan's sudden excitement and didn't understand why.

But as instructed, he gently placed the knife back on the table, then picked up his phone and pointed the camera at the seemingly ordinary, even somewhat old, wooden box.

The live stream chat instantly fell silent, everyone's curiosity piqued by Xin Quan's reaction.

On the phone screen, you could see that Xin Quan had almost pressed his entire face against the camera, his eyes wide open like saucers.

He stared intently at the wooden box in Shen Wang's lens.

Especially the inside of the box lid and the bottom of the box, while unconsciously muttering to himself:

"Impossible... How could this be... The texture... The craftsmanship... And this... This..."

"Baby...Baby friend! You...you steady the camera! Don't shake it!"

"I'm asking you, where did this box come from? Was it with this knife?"
