Chapter 325: Demon! _1
Ouyang Yushan had been quietly observing the panel of judges the whole time.
Seeing their ghost-like expressions, his heart grew more and more puzzled.
Especially when he saw Yao Guhuai with the same expression, he became even more utterly confused, “Mr. Yao, is there a problem with this form?”
Yao Guhuai finally snapped out of his shock, glanced at him with complicated eyes, “There’s no problem.”
Then he turned his attention back to the answers for Group I that he was in charge of.
The two genuine articles in Group I were personally placed by him.
And he was certain he hadn’t leaked them to anyone.
Even if others might be tempted to cheat, it was absolutely impossible here.
However, when he saw Tang Feng’s answers, his pupils once again constricted sharply.
“I02, I19”.
It wasn’t that these two answers were wrong, but that they were completely correct.
He sharply raised his head to look at Tang Feng, who was still waiting for the results in the Ceramic Junior Assessment Area.
Different from the anxious expressions of the candidates around him, he stood alone amidst the chaotic crowd, his demeanor serene.
It seemed he had reached a state of equanimity, not overjoyed by external factors nor saddened by personal losses.
Just this state of mind was enough to outdo many others.
“Mr. Yao, have you finished grading?” Ouyang Yushan waited a moment more, seeing Yao Guhuai still in a daze, and had to speak up again to prompt him.
Yao Guhuai sighed deeply, wrote “10 points” in the scoring column with a red pen, and then pushed the form to Ouyang Yushan.
After Ouyang Yushan picked up the form and glanced at it, his gaze froze as well.
He finally understood why the nine judges earlier all had that kind of expression.
This young fellow was just too astonishing.
Even if he himself were to step in, it would be impossible to scrutinize two hundred pieces of ceramics in such a short five minutes, let alone guarantee such a high accuracy rate.
This was simply an incredible feat.
He suppressed the amazement in his heart and shifted his gaze to the answers for Group J, which he was responsible for.
“J07, J17”.
They were the two genuine articles that he had placed there himself.
That is to say, Tang Feng’s final score for this assessment was a perfect 100 points.
An accuracy rate of one hundred percent!
It was indeed an exaggerated figure.
Throughout the history of appraiser assessments, candidates who have attained a one hundred percent accuracy rate have been exceedingly rare.
Not to mention that he had identified all the correct answers within five minutes.
Even though he had seen all kinds of big events in his life, his heart still stirred with waves of emotion at this moment.
He had been very optimistic about this junior brother before.
But it was only now that he realized, perhaps he had still underestimated him.
This young fellow always managed to surprise him when he least expected it.
It seems he is getting old; the future belongs to the young.
He shook his head with a wry smile, wrote down a score of “10 points”, and then handed it over to the middle-aged man responsible for tallying the scores.
The middle-aged man took the form and, after a glance, was also greatly shocked.
No one had a clearer view of Tang Feng’s entire assessment process than he did.
The guy had been casually scanning around, not lingering on any piece of ceramic for more than a second.
In such a scenario, he still managed to achieve a one hundred percent accuracy rate.
This couldn’t be described as “talent” anymore; it was simply monstrous!
He felt as if he was witnessing the rise of a huge star in the antique world.
The scoring for the Ceramic Junior Assessment continued for about three or four minutes, and the scores of more than twenty people were announced.
Carrying a stack of forms, the middle-aged man walked back to the assessment area.
Many candidates’ hearts rose to their throats.
As they were currently non-professional appraisers, their results in this assessment were directly related to their success in obtaining professional qualifications.
Therefore, every one of them was extremely nervous.
The middle-aged man first cast a meaningful glance at Tang Feng, then began to announce the scores.
As Tang Feng was the first to finish grading, his form was placed at the very end.
Tang Feng was not in a hurry; after all, he already knew the answers, and so his mindset was the most relaxed of all.
“Luo Dong, assessment score 55 points, disqualify!”
“He Yu, assessment score 65 points, qualify!”
“Yang Gang, assessment score 35 points, disqualify…”
As the middle-aged man announced the scores one by one, the mood among the candidates present shifted between joy and sorrow.
Those who had successfully obtained professional qualifications were naturally over the moon.
Whereas those who had failed were crestfallen, left no choice but to wait another year, to try again next time.
The industry is that brutal.
Those with skill live in luxury, while those without can only watch enviously.
Take Tang Feng, for instance: since he still does not have a professional qualification certificate, strictly speaking, he can’t yet be considered a professional appraiser.
Even though Qin Yanan values him, the appraisal results he provides for others carry no real authority.
Only with professional qualifications does the appraisal report you issue carry a certain level of authority, and more people come to you for appraisals.
The higher your professional qualification level, the greater the authority.
Therefore, whether you can successfully obtain the appraiser qualification is a key indicator of whether you can make a living in this profession.
The announcement of the results for the more than twenty candidates quickly neared its conclusion.
“Zhong Pan’er…”
The middle-aged man called out Zhong Pan’er’s name.
Zhong Pan’er was instantly alert; although she had absolute confidence in her abilities, she couldn’t help feeling nervous at that moment.
Her assessment results were at stake not just for her qualification as a professional appraiser but also her master’s reputation.
If she couldn’t even pass the junior assessment, others would surely mock her master.
“Zhong Pan’er, assessment score 100 points, qualify!”
As the middle-aged man announced the result, a chorus of gasps erupted immediately on site.
Everyone looked at Zhong Pan’er with extreme astonishment.
She was the first to score full marks in their assessment group and likely the only one.
Especially given her beauty, she was hard to ignore.
“My god, a full score, a one hundred percent accuracy rate, how did she do it?”
“You didn’t see whose disciple she is. That’s Master Yao Guhuai we’re talking about.”
“No wonder, a renowned master raises outstanding disciples, Yao Master’s disciple is indeed extraordinary.”
“Tsk tsk, this is probably the only full score in the Ceramic Junior Assessment, right?”
“Probably, that Tang genius turned in his paper in five minutes, how good could his score be?”
“Hahaha, turning in after five minutes, that’s hilarious…”
