Antique Appraisal: I Can Communicate With All Things

[Elements: Appraising Antiques + Livestreaming + Solving Cases + Comedy]

The struggling author Lin Chen has been able to communicate with all things since childhood. Then one day, a cat took him to an antique market... and there was no turning back!

Painting of a Fine Steed: "Young friend! I'm miserable! I'm stuck with these worthless fakes all day! Take me away!"

Yama Relic: "Young friend! Pry open that wax shell outside. I'm in there, suffocating!"

Crab Cup: "Young friend! Could you sweep the dirt off the bottom of my cup? It's making me miserable!"

"Holy crap! Buddy, bring your phone a little closer."

"Oh dear, you really shouldn't display that! There's something a little spooky about this artifact!"

With his ability to communicate with all things, Lin Chen started livestreaming antique appraisals.

He had no other thoughts. He'd never be able to spend all the money he made in his lifetime, and teasing his viewers was pretty fun.
