"What? Then I want to do it!" Ma Xing didn't know how much she could know from an antique appraiser's dreams, but... it didn't stop her from trying it once.
[Ding! Using the antique appraiser card! Host, please close your eyes and relax! Remember, you can't disclose your identity to anyone else.]
"Yes!" Ma Xing, hugging her daughter, closed her eyes.
[Mission 1: Visit someone's dream! Reward: 50 dream points!]
[Target locked. Target name: Guo Jin.]
The wrinkles on Ma Xing's face relaxed as she listened to the mechanical voice.

Poof! Poof!
When Ma Xing opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar street.
A few vendors were shouting about their food, while some were sitting quietly. The street was packed with people.
There was one stall that stood out the most, its name written in bold 'Jiang's Antique Stall.'
However, there was also a certain problem with the scene, like Ma Xing could see a few insect-like things floating at the far end of the street.
"System? Are you here?" Ma Xing asked timidly. This new scene scared her to the point that she subsonciously wanted to find someone familiar.
[Host, I am here.]
Ma Xing let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding and murmured, "What are those strange insect-like things at the end of the street?"
[Note: Since it is a dream, the occurrence of random things is common.]
Ma Xing: "..." Well, that makes sense...
[Please note the host due to low level, this dream could only be visited for 1 hour, after which you will be teleported back to your real world. You can't communicate or reveal your identity.]
"Yes! I know." Ma Xing nodded vigorously, her palm sweating with nervousness.
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to grasp the opportunity provided to her.
[To help the host gain more information, the image of Guo Jin will be transmitted to your brain.]
The next second, Ma Xing felt an image in her mind. Before, she was unaware of how Guo Jin looked, but now that she knew, she spotted him right away.
He was standing at the stall opposite Jiang's Antique stall. She sneakily made her way toward him and watched from the sideline while pretending to be another no-name passerby.
Guo Jin was a middle-aged man with an average pot belly and a beard. His looks could only be described as below average, while his aura resembled that of a wise man.
He was examining an inkstone with a deep look, while his eyes occasionally strayed to the stall. In the end, he bought the inkstone for 100 yuan and left.
Ma Xing thoughtfully watched the stall and then at Guo Jin's back.
She discreetly followed him and heard him murmuring something. Once she heard what he was saying, the scene changed.
This time, she found herself in a grand hall. There was few tables with guests holding auction cards and chatting.
The inkstone bought by Guo Jin was proven to be authentic and was sold for 50,000 yuan!
Ma Xing sucked in a deep breath. 50,000 yuan was a high sum for someone like her who only earns 3000 yuan per month.
Her eyes unconsciously fell onto the booklet of items to be auction and she froze.
Just as she was about to look at the booklet a bit more closely, a shrill voice echoed,
"Guo Jin, you bastard! How dare you cheat on me? I will beat you!"
A middle-aged woman wearing apron and a spatula rushed toward Guo Jin and directly hit him hard on his shiny bald head.
Ma Xing: "..."
"You impotent man! You tipped that minx Cai Bu again! Do you think she will look in your direction? Dream on, you wrinkly old man!"
"Stop! Don't beat my Guo Jin baby!" Another sweet voice echoed, and the next second, a woman with a big butt wearing a red strapless body con dress rushed in.
She stood in front of Guo Jin as if protecting him and said with tears, "I have realized now! I love Guo Jin! I want to be with him!"
Ma Xing: "..." Wow...
Guo Jin showed a cold expression, "I don't need both of you in my life anymore. I am tired."
His wife's anger faded, and she looked at him with panic, "Wait! No! Don't be angry! I am sorry, okay? I was wrong."
The woman named Cai Bu started to press herself against Guo Jin, "Baby, please don't leave! I regret it. I can't live with your d..."
[Warning! Times up!]
Ma Xing: "..." If you teleported me a second late, my eyes would have started to vomit.

The harsh sunlight streaming from the gaps of the windows made Ma Xing slowly open her eyes.
She blinked before recalling the dream she had seen, and for a moment, wondered if whatever she had seen was just a dream.
The system... Guo Jin... Cai Bu... was any of it even true?
"System?" She called out in a hesitant voice.
