Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 221

After Haton played cymbals, the host continued with the next session.

"Dear audience and guests, we'll play a game now.

"Our team received some antiquities. Some of them are real and the rest are fake. Now we'll put them on display, and for those that are real, we'll donate them to the National Museum for free."

Hearing this, several guests applauded.

Then, the staff presented those items to the stage.

The host went to the far left first and took out an ancient framed painting.

The host introduced, "This is the painting named Frameless, drawn by the famous ancient painter Rembrandt van Rijn. But the painting was passed around too long and not well preserved. The lower right corner was soaked with water."

In the lower right corner of the painting, there was a mark where the ink had been smudged, which destroyed the beauty of the entire painting.

The host looked in the direction of Cara and asked with a smile, "Cara, since you are an expert at landscape oil painting, is this painting authentic or fake?"

Cara walked to the painting, looked at it carefully for a few minutes, picked up the microphone, and replied, "The Frameless should be a fake."

Netizens in the livestream room were instantly stunned.

[Damn it! A fake? How could she tell it?]

[Why do I feel like it's real?]

Then, the host looked in Ashley's direction. "How do you think it, Ashley?"

Ashley nodded. "It's a fake."

[How come Ashley repeats Cara's words?]

[Ashley jumped to conclusions without even walking over to observe it. How hasty it is!]

[Take it easy. As a renowned restorer, Charlie could tell the difference.]

As expected, the host looked at Charlie next to him and asked, "Mr. Ramos, you have restored many cultural relics, including some ancient paintings. Can you help us identify the authenticity of this painting on the spot?"

Charlie stared at the painting for a few seconds, then raised the microphone. "This painting is a fake."

Hearing this answer, the host was surprised for a moment. The program had asked professionals to identify it in advance, and the host had already got the result.

It was normal for Charlie to tell it, but he didn't expect Cara and Ashley to authenticate it.

The host immediately looked at Cara, who was the first to identify the fake, and asked curiously, "How did you identify it, Cara?"

Cara smiled softly and elegantly, "I am good at landscape oil painting and have a certain understanding of it. Rembrandt van Rijn's painting focuses on the contrast of light and shade, and he always uses light to shape the three-dimensional sense of scenery. However, the light in this painting is simple, and there is no obvious contrast between light and shade.

"Moreover, Rembrandt van Rijn is one with perverse behavior, which leads to a rich level of his paintings. He always used bright colors to vent his emotions, and his paintings can present a strong conflict of basis. But while this painting does its best to imitate his brushstrokes, it still falls short of his maniacal state of painting."

After hearing this, the host looked at Charlie for confirmation.

Charlie nodded, indicating that what Cara said was correct.

Netizens were immediately shocked.

[She actually explained it well. How awesome she is! Cara knows a lot, and I have never heard the terms she mentioned.]

[I couldn't resist the gentle and talented Cara. I finally understand the reason netizens supported her, and I almost fell in love with her.]

[Ashley said the same as Cara. She answered right, either.]

[Don't be kidding. Ashley didn't even check the painting. She must talk nonsense causally, and she even repeated Cara's words.]

Netizens talked enthusiastically, and the show continued.

The second one was Voynich's manuscript.

Cara could identify authenticity and even explained the reason, so the host looked at her first. "Do you think this Voynich's manuscript is real or fake?"

Cara still walked up to it, stared at it carefully for a few minutes, and then shook her head. "It must be a fake."

Bryce and Haton had no idea about it, so they just made a casual guess.

Then, the host looked at Ashley. "What do you think, Ashley?"

Ashley answered concisely, "It's fake."
