Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Everyone’s Analysis

Ye Chen’s actions immediately caught the attention of the audience in the live stream room.

At this moment, there were a total of 1.2 million viewers in Ye Chen’s live stream room.

Among these 1.2 million people, there were individuals from all walks of life.

Amongst them, there were quite a few who had studied history and antiques.

As the bottle, which looked like "trash," gradually approached Ye Chen’s camera, someone noticed something unusual.

However, since most of the bottle was still submerged in water, its entire appearance couldn’t be seen.

For a while, the viewers in the live stream room were abuzz with discussion.

"Look how careful the streamer is being. Does that look like he caught some trash? Clearly, he’s caught a treasure!"

"Indeed, have you noticed? The material of this thing doesn’t seem ordinary!"

"There’s a lot of mud on it, but the material inside is vaguely visible. Looks like some ceramic?"

"Could it really be an antique? Aren’t ceramics generally very valuable?"

"Blue and white porcelain? Could it be blue and white porcelain?"

"That’s unlikely, but we can’t see clearly from this distance!"

"Maybe it really is blue and white porcelain!"

...

And the treasure Ye Chen had caught was getting closer and closer to the shore.

Soon, it was pulled by Ye Chen to the water’s edge.

Ye Chen stared at it intently, and said with a serious expression: "Liao Xuexue, use the scoop net to fish it out!"

"Be gentle with it!"

Liao Xuexue was stunned and looked at Ye Chen in surprise.

This was the first time he had called her by her name.

Ye Chen always used to call her "little girl."

Although just like the viewers in the live stream room, Liao Xuexue could not tell what this mud-covered object was.

But seeing how serious Ye Chen was, she obediently nodded her head.

"Okay, I understand."

After speaking, she put down the silly goose she was holding in her arms and picked up a scoop net by the shore.

Then she carefully scooped up the mud-covered bottle that was floating on the water.

The rest of the work didn’t need to be explained by Ye Chen.

Liao Xuexue skillfully scooped up the bottle with the net and slowly dragged it ashore.

But because the object was really not small.

Even in the water, Liao Xuexue struggled quite a bit.

Seeing Liao Xuexue successfully pull the object out of the water, Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief.

"Let me see..." After speaking, Ye Chen also put down the fishing rod and took over the scoop net.

Compared to Liao Xuexue, Ye Chen was much stronger.

He pulled the object to the shore effortlessly.

Coincidentally...

The fish hook just happened to catch the mouth of the vase.

Similarly, after carefully removing the fish hook, Ye Chen lifted the treasure out of the scoop net.

At this moment, Ye Chen could also see the full appearance of the object.

Though there was a layer of mud on it, one could see that it was made of white ceramic with deep blue patterns.

Through this detail, it was obvious that this object was a ceramic piece.

However, because it had been submerged in the water for too long, not only was there mud, but there was also a lot of green moss.

The entire vase was about sixty centimeters tall, with a mouth diameter of around fifteen centimeters.

Unfortunately, there was some damage to the mouth of the vase.

However, what was most eye-catching was that there were some seal-like marks on the bottom of the vase.

As for what the characters were, Ye Chen couldn’t recognize them.

If the system hadn’t notified him that this was an antique worth seventeen million,

Ye Chen would have believed it if someone said it was trash!

Although it is made of porcelain, the craftsmanship is very ordinary and can’t compare to modern techniques.

It doesn’t look like a finely crafted historical artifact at all.

Not only were the people around him confused, but even the viewers in the live stream room were teasing Ye Chen in the bullet comments.

Only Liao Xuexue, who was majoring in history at university and standing beside Ye Chen, was staring at the vase somewhat blankly.

...

Just like the viewers in the live stream room.

The group of people at the Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, watching what Ye Chen had fished up, were also mesmerized.

Due to the previous incident with Cui Ruogou, the onlooking fishermen, the internet celebrities, and the media,

were curious but maintained a certain distance from Ye Chen,

fearing that getting too close might anger Ye Chen.

After all, the fish pond’s proprietress had already told them not to disturb Teacher Ye.

Therefore, the first ones to approach Ye Chen were the group of elders that were with him.

And naturally, the owner of the fish pond and his wife, too.

Especially the group of elders, who weren’t fishing anymore, stood beside Ye Chen with hands behind their backs.

They used their lifetime of experience to try and discern what exactly was the thing Ye Chen had fished up!

Seeing the elders acting like connoisseurs, Ye Chen wasn’t in a hurry to speak up.

One elder wearing a small white cap circled the vase a few times, clicking his tongue.

"I say, Teacher Ye, isn’t this the thing the owner uses to pickle vegetables?"

Hearing this, the fish pond owner quickly waved his hands, "No no, we don’t eat pickled vegetables, I’ve never seen this thing!"

"You haven’t seen it?" The elder wearing the white cap was confused: "Then what is this thing?"

Clearly, he had mistaken Ye Chen’s find for some unwanted bottles and jars from the owner’s place.

Soon, another elderly man, who was rather plump, stood out.

"Didn’t Teacher Ye fish up a Hand Grenade before? I’d say, this thing is a landmine!"

"It’s hollow inside, you fill it with explosives, and use the ceramic to inflict damage on the enemy!"

Another elder burst out laughing upon hearing this: "I say, Old Yong, you’re really inexperienced; while it’s true that some landmines are made of ceramics, this thing here obviously isn’t a landmine, is it?"

Finally, Old Liao couldn’t hold back anymore.

He pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, pointed at the vase on the ground, and laughed: "Look at all of you making fools of yourselves!"

"Isn’t this just a vessel? It should be used for storing sauerkraut!"

"You’ve all eaten sauerkraut, right? And preserved it too? You put cabbage inside and press it down with a stone."

"To be honest, I’ve never seen a sauerkraut container of this shape before."

As soon as Old Liao finished talking, another old man couldn’t help but interject: "I say, Old Liao, is the sauerkraut jar in your house only this big?"

"In my view, it’s just a broken vase!"

"You all have too wild imaginations!"

Amid the debate among these "experts", Liao Xuexue, who had been silent beside Ye Chen, finally spoke up.

"This is blue and white porcelain..."

Despite her young age in the academic discussions, she still held significant clout among the group of elderly men.

Firstly, she was a university student in the history department.

Secondly, a few days ago at the Seyves Reservoir, this young girl, Liao Xuexue, accurately identified the detailed information of the handgun and the Hand Grenade that Ye Chen had fished up.
