The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: What Can You See Through the Internet?

The uncle deliberately lowered his voice at the end, with a slightly somber expression.

After hearing his introduction, everyone shifted from initial amazement at his vast collection to focus on the incident itself.

All the swords and knives rusted overnight; indeed, it sounded bizarre.

[Some of these swords and knives look ancient, could it be poor maintenance?]

[I heard that rust can spread, could one sick sword have infected the others?]

[Do you think it’s some kind of contagious disease? Didn’t you see they are all on separate shelves, isolated?]

[That’s funny, with that much wealth to collect so many swords, how could they not maintain them?]

Evidently seeing the barrage of comments in the live stream, the uncle explained each one patiently,

"Regular maintenance of the collection is always done, basically hiring a professional Maintenance Master periodically."

"Like this Arabian Scimitar, which I’ve had for ten years, has always been in good condition."

"Of course, some of the Ancient Sword Fragments come with rust, but it’s within a normal range and not contagious..."

After roughly explaining the situation, the uncle turned his attention back to the people on the other side of the live stream.

Originally skeptical about such esoteric matters, he began considering asking for help online only after a friend’s recommendation to watch this show, realizing that Scarlett Jennings was truly skilled.

He joined the stream specifically for Scarlett Jennings, filled with anticipation upon seeing this Taoism Academy episode.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the live stream, Scarlett Jennings listened intently to the first seeker’s situation, pondering for a moment before turning to Gregory Xander,

"Do you want to go first or should I?"

This was about who should ask questions first.

According to their agreement, whoever spotted the issue and proposed a solution first would win.

Gregory Xander, still unable to find a clue from the seeker’s display, especially since it was his first time tracking an issue over the internet, refrained from arrogance and simply said,

"You go first."

Scarlett Jennings, not standing on ceremony, began questioning the uncle on the other end of the live stream,

"You mentioned your collection rusted overnight, was it all at once, or in stages or specific areas?"

The uncle replied, "Most of them rusted suddenly a week ago. I checked the surveillance footage immediately upon discovering the rust; it started around midnight but not all at once."

"Could you bring up the surveillance footage for us to see?"

The uncle nodded, quickly pulling up his computer to show everyone what happened that night a week ago.

Scarlett Jennings saw on the surveillance footage that although there were no apparent anomalies, all unsheathed swords completed rusting within 1–5 minutes.

It was Gregory Xander’s first time seeing such a phenomenon; he couldn’t sense any Shadow Energy through the Internet and could only look for clues in the video footage.

He felt it was unrealistic for Scarlett Jennings to solve the problem this way.

After all, for a Master to identify an issue, it usually required them to be physically present to sense Shadow Energy or check the Geomancy energies.

But now, over the Internet, what could be identified?

Sure enough, Scarlett Jennings spoke up, asking the seeker to replay the footage.

Gregory Xander shook his head silently, thinking she was just pretending to be calm.

The seeker on the other end complied and replayed the surveillance footage, this time slowing down the video speed.

Live stream viewers watched intently again, still finding nothing unusual.
