In the eyes of people around him, Lin Han is just a relative.
But he could tell at a glance that all three paintings were real, and the others who boasted about how great they were were eliminated.
The difference between the up and the down is obvious.
The opinions of the people around him towards Lin Han changed 180 degrees. They talked about Lin Han a lot and the public opinion of him turned positive.
This was Lin Han’s original plan, although he didn’t want to attract the attention of those treasure appraisers and then “take extra care” of him.
But if he didn't stand out in a dazzling manner in the knockout rounds, even if he won the treasure appraisal competition, the label of "a person with connections" would follow him for the rest of his life.
He didn't even have the confidence to say that he would definitely win the next generation of treasure appraisal competition. After all, there were people like him who could tell from the beginning that the three paintings were authentic.
Although many people changed their answers on paper after he mentioned it, some did not, which means they saw it from the beginning.
And he has been keeping an eye on those people.
One of them was Leng Yue. He initially thought that Leng Yue had written right, but she did not open the note again to change the answer before entering the next game, which meant that all three answers she wrote at the beginning were true.
There is no doubt about this.
Like her, Du Rongsheng also did not change his answer. Although Du Rongsheng squinted his eyes and smiled, looking very friendly, Lin Han inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.
Since he had good eyesight and could tell at a glance that the three paintings were real, couldn't he see that the jade ruyi was fake?
This made Lin Han feel that the change of information was also arranged by Du Rongsheng. It was really a coincidence.
And what was his purpose? Was he just trying to recruit him to work for the Du family?
There are other people who haven't changed their answers, but he doesn't know them. However, from what people around him say, he knows they are all famous. Just keep an eye on them.
While he was observing others, others were also observing him silently out of the corner of their eyes.
Lin Han was a dark horse in this place, and they didn't pay much attention to this man at first.
But from the moment he revealed the secret, he was destined to attract special attention from others.
Leng Yue also glanced at Lin Han, looking at him with some doubts in her heart, "I seem to have seen this person somewhere."
But she immediately stopped taking Lin Han seriously. There were some capable people like him, but maybe he was not famous enough for her to care about.
Otherwise, this competition would have no value, and winning would be boring to her, just like winning over a group of kids. No one would think it was glorious or something worth bragging about.
Her gaze turned to Du Rongsheng, because that was the man she should care about most.
"Alright everyone, after the elimination rounds, it will be the tense and exciting finals."
After all the eliminated contestants had left, the host shouted excitedly, directing everyone's eyes and attention to him.
After all, what he said was surprising.
Because after the elimination, there are still ten people left. Can all ten of them enter the finals? This is rare. Generally speaking, the finals are one-on-one, or one team against another, right?
But the people here are enemies of each other and have no common interests.
"A points system? To decide the champion right away?"
"Or is it a quick-answer system?"
People around were talking about this. Generally, there are three systems in treasure appraisal competitions. The normal one is a one-on-one competition. After the winner is decided, the winner will compete against the winner one by one to decide the final champion.
The second is the quick-answer system, which is similar to the quiz system. Treasures or antiques are released in turn. The first person to guess whether it is true or false will get points, and if you guess wrong, you will lose points. In the end, the winner is determined by the score.
The third is the points system. Everyone has the opportunity to give an answer. In addition to seeing whether it is true or false, if you can answer the name of the thing, what era it came from, who made it, or what is fake, you can get more points. In the end, the winner is determined by the number of points.
There may be other competition mechanisms in other places, but the treasure appraisal competitions in Xidu Province over the years have basically been based on these three mechanisms, and new ones are sometimes added.
The one-on-one mechanism is a waste of time, and the more people there are, the more time it wastes. Maybe some duels will be quite exciting and full of ups and downs, but most of them are boring.
After all, many people are not strong enough and always give wrong answers, so no winner can be determined and the duel continues.
The quick-answer system also has its drawbacks, that is, others are clearly capable and know whether it is true or false, but they lose because they cannot answer it first. However, the excitement is the highest, just like the guessing shows on TV.
The point system is more reasonable. Although it is not fast, it is at least not slower than one-on-one. Everyone answers together and points are counted, and there will be no situation where there is no chance to answer as in the quick-answer system.
What's more important is the details. It's not difficult to tell the authenticity of the whole thing, but it's the details that are authentic and meticulous, which can better reflect that the treasure appraiser has achieved the ultimate in this field.
It allows people to better judge how much better this person is than other treasure appraisers. Otherwise, who can't answer the judgment questions? Maybe you can answer several questions correctly without knowing the answer.
"Points system! Points system!"
"Points system! Points system!"
The people around were basically those who wanted to watch the points-based competition. No one knew who started the commotion, but for a moment the entire venue was filled with the same voice.
The host was helpless when he saw this, and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet before continuing the game.
After they quieted down, the host put the microphone to his lips. At first, he looked worried, which made everyone's heart hang in the air, but suddenly he shouted loudly: "Yes, it's the points system!"
“Oh~”
The scene was once again filled with excitement. Everyone who came here was interested in this aspect, and the host was no exception!
While the scene was in chaos, Lin Han was observing other people's reactions.
Some people were very nervous and looked worried before they knew it was a point-based system. Some felt relieved after finding out, while others looked even uglier.
They are people who are not well prepared or have no confidence in their own abilities.
But there were also people who were full of confidence from the beginning, feeling sure of victory, and were not shaken at all when they heard that it was a points system.
Such people are either confident of their own abilities to win, or like Lin Han, they know in advance that it is a points system.
Just as he guessed, they were all those who did not change their answers at the beginning, but Lin Han couldn't tell whether it was the former or the latter.
Because for those who have no ability, even if they know in advance that it is a point system, it will be useless and they will still feel uneasy about their own abilities.
The staff gave everyone notes and pens again, but this time there were more notes because there was more than one question.
"I believe many of you are not from Xidu Province. Now I will briefly explain the rules of the points system!"
