Chapter 439: Teacher and Competition
In Office 4 of the assessnt center, Master Turia frowned as he looked at the strange apprentice who appeared in front of him again. Oh yeah, he should be a chanic now. I was the one who let him pass the assessnt just now.
I have a little impression of this guy. His chanic skills are ssy and just barely pass. Uh... but his wine is not bad.
The question is why is my daughter, Beluan, with this guy?
At this ti, Beluan walked toward Turia and whispered a few words. Before his daughter finished speaking, Master Turia’s nose beca even redder. He activated his Great Demon’s talent to appear in front of Chen Rui instantly. He grabbed Chen Rui’s robe, “You damn liar. What thod did you use to actually deceive my precious daughter in such a short ti...”
In Turia’s impression, her daughter was a prudent and assertive girl. She would never recomnd soone to easily, and she knew exactly how bad was the level of the recomnded guy in front of him. He could imagine that he must have used so special ans.
Is it seduction? This ti is too short! And this guy’s appearance is not very good...
Due to the effect of the alcohol, Master Turia was about to ask furiously when he heard an angry voice from his precious daughter, “Father! Can you let finish my words?”
Seeing her daughter’s flushing face who seed to be really angry, Turia quickly let go of his grasp and gave Chen Rui a threatening look, “Brat, don’t you think of running away! You’ll see how I will settle you later!”
Chen Rui was speechless for a while being spat by Turia’s alcohol fus. Beluan dragged Master Turia to the side and said a few more words. Turia’s eyes suddenly brightened and his drunkenness beca much sober. He ca to Chen Rui and carefully scanned Chen Rui.
Chen Rui had so goosebumps while being scanned. Then Master Turia took out a cloak, “Tell the attributes and materials of this equipnt.”
Chen Rui quickly said the answer, “It increases movent speed by 32%, reduces magic damage by 20%. It used 11 materials. I only know striped ratfish and silver shell powder, but I don’t know what the main material is. The attribute should be able to automatically recover a certain degree of damage. This equipnt should be considered as quasi-legendary grade right?
“What ‘considered’! It is!” Turia was surprised and delighted when he heard that the attributes and the number of materials were accurate. He couldn’t help but scolded, “The main material is magic cicada wing line! Your teacher is such a bastard! He didn’t even teach you this basic material knowledge!”
“Master! Although I really want to get your advice, please don’t insult my dead teacher! Otherwise... otherwise I would rather give up asking Ms. Beluan!” Chen Rui looked angry. He knew that once this ability was shown, Turia would never let him go. Generally speaking, equipnt appraisal required special equipnt and master level eyesight to accurately determine various attributes, not to ntion the more difficult material appraisal.
“Good! Very good!” Turia was not angry, but he rejoiced instead. He is able to possess such an outstanding talent, and his morality does not seem to be bad. At least, he is very grateful to his deceased teacher. He is indeed a good candidate to be my apprentice. As long as this Richard can master more knowledge of materials, even if his chanics stay in this bad state, he can still at least beco a master-level equipnt appraiser. He is even very likely to be the best appraisal master in the entire chanic Association and the Demon Realm in the future!
To be a teacher of the best appraisal master... Turia’s eyes lit up, “From now on, you are my apprentice! I will declare to the association now!”
“Declare to the association? Father, are you planning to accept a formal apprentice?” Beluan showed a pleasant surprise. “Yes, let’s gather Trus and Roger in a mont, and we will have a al together.” Turia walked out happily, then he suddenly turned around, “Uh... Richard, rember to prepare the wine to honor the teacher!”
Before Chen Rui could speak, Turia had walked out of the office.
Beluan happily held Chen Rui and left, “Great! Richard, Trus and Roger are the other 2 students of the teacher. Let’s go and et them.”
Wait! Why do these people make decisions directly without asking my opinion? Actually, I just want to be a registered apprentice so that I can go to the library to check so information... Chen Rui secretly smiled bitterly, but things seed to go smoother than he expected. Right, Student Richard?
Soon, the news of Master Turia’s acceptance of a new official apprentice spread. Master Turia’s vision has always been very high, and he is very strict in accepting apprentices. Even if President Nate once recomnded his nephew, Aebew, to be his apprentice, he did not accept it. He actually has a new apprentice now. I heard that he is just a rookie chanic who has just passed the certification assessnt?
For a while, there were a lot of discussions in the chanic Association. So believed that Richard was talented and intelligent, and he was appreciated by Master Turia during the assessnt, so he was accepted as an apprentice. Others believed that Richard had plotted this to be acquainted with Master Turia’s daughter, Beluan long ago. He finally achieved his goal triumphantly. This guess was not groundless because more than 1 person saw Richard and Beluan staying on the first floor of the library for a long ti.
All in all, this guy nad Richard was definitely an enviable lucky guy who could be Master Turia’s apprentice. The most jealous person was Aebew who had been pursuing Beluan without success.
Chen Rui turned a blind eye to these rumors. His biggest goal was the information in the higher-level of the Book Collection Hall. It was just that Master Turia valued Chen Rui very much. He was more about cultivating the “foundation” of Chen Rui. Chen Rui didn’t know whether to smile or cry at this. However, his chanic knowledgewere very proficient due to the Super System. Although his foundation was complented in ti through self-study, it was not quite strong, after all. He could be considered to be re-consolidating his foundation now.
However, in front of Master Turia, Chen Rui certainly could not show his true level. He only showed his amazing mory. As for his comprehension, he still showed horrible performance. Master Turia was often furious as he was impatient to see improvent. For the two, this was undoubtedly a very agonizing thing.
With the help of Beluan, Master Turia finally agreed to take Chen Rui to the second floor of the Book Collection Hall to take a look. Just in case, Chen Rui had an agreent with Beluan to keep secrets about Mountain Seckred and Fertile Yuan Soil so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. During this period, Chen Rui also ntioned these 2 things or related issues casually in front of Master Turia, but Turia did not have a special reaction. Perhaps, he did not know about it. Fortunately, he could finally explore the second level now.
Turia also brought Chen Rui to the second floor due to his own considerations. This disciple’s talent is very strong. Perhaps because he stayed in a small remote place for a long ti and encountered a half-qualified first teacher, so he has not been able to get enlightennt. It’s really hard to change in a rush. It’s better to let him slowly feel and improve under the influence of this great environnt.
To be precise, I need to increase his reading volu now. Regardless of whether he understands it or not, get him to rember it first now. One day he will be able to grasp the true essence of chanic independently. Taking a step back, just the accumulation of knowledge from that kind of material books can make the function of the “magic eyes” more accurate and complete. Turia was quite dedicated to nurturing his apprentice.
Masters could bring their disciples into the second floor of the Book Collection Hall to browse for free while ordinary chanics needed to spend contribution points. As for the third floor, even masters needed to spend a lot of contribution points.
The second level had fewer books and materials than the first level, but the content was relatively more formal, incisive and advanced. Chen Rui was still flipping through every book he ca across at high speed. Although this bizarre sight had attracted the attention of many chanics, with Master Turia by his side, most of those people thought it was a “special task” arranged by him, so they did not step forward to ask. They watched him for a while and didn’t pay too much attention after that. After all, they were spending contribution points to be here.
“Turia, this is your new disciple?” A cold voice sounded. It turned out to be a woman in a black robe who was wearing glasses. Her face was pretty, and she was tall and thin. However, her face was cold, as if everyone owed her millions of black crystal coins.
Chen Rui glanced at the master level badge on the woman’s chest, then he looked at the girl who followed behind her. She was actually Beluan. Beluan once ntioned that in addition to leather, she had a higher talent of proficiency in accessories, so she worshipped another master of the Bloody Empire chanic Association, Mavinna, as her teacher.
The registrant Anracca was good friends with Chen Rui now. The self-proclaid “enthusiast”, who claid to be the association’s know-it-all, had revealed a lot of gossip news. Mavinna, a veteran master of accessories, was well-known for her cold face and weird temper. She was one of the most difficult people to deal with.
When Turia saw Mavinna, he quickly got up from his seat and smirked, “It turns out to be Master Mavinna .Richard, co here and et Master Mavinna.”
Chen Rui walked up and bowed to Mavinna, “Master Mavinna.”
Mavinna ignored Chen Rui. Her gaze turned to the wine bottle in Turia’s hand, and she frowned in disgust, “The sll of wine on you seems to be getting heavier!”
For so reason, Turia, who was usually carefree, seed timid in front of Mavinna. He said with guilt, “This is the Dark Shadow Empire’s specialty purple berry wine brought by Richard...”
Mavinna glared at Chen Rui and snorted. Just as she was about to speak, another eccentric voice sounded, “I see. No wonder Master Turia will accept an apprentice. It turns out that you have accepted his wine.”
This voice made Turia’s face suddenly beco cold, “Juliet, how I accept my apprentice is my business. Who are you to give pointers?”
The situation seed to beco more interesting. Chen Rui had heard of this Juliet. He was also a senior master in the association who specialized in tal proficiency. Judging from the gossip of the enthusiast, Juliet was interested in Master Mavinna, but unfortunately she wasn’t interested at all. Perhaps due to Beluan, the cold-faced lady seed to show special attention to the Alcoholic Turia.
There was no room for 2 tigers in one mountain unless one was male and another was female. There was obviously one more male tiger now. Between the 2 males with normal orientation, they naturally were deadly opponents who fought with each other.
“It really doesn’t matter to how you accept apprentices, but as you know, I also accepted an apprentice, Aucklo, recently. There should be so competition between young people to make progress. Why not let them compete and learn from each other. Well, if I lose, I will give you 5,000 contribution points... Oh, I almost forgot, it seems that you only have a little more than 1,000 contribution points left as you have been drinking in the past few years. Poor fellow... How about you only need to pay 1,000 points if you lose. I let you take advantage of . How about that?”
Juliet’s words were full of sarcasm. He intended to belittle Turia in front of everyone, especially Mavinna. Turia was so angry that his nose beca redder, but he knew that Aucklo was a genius who had been praised by President Nate. “Richard” could not compare to him at all. It seed that he could only swallow the bitter pill.
“Why? Are you so timid that you dare not even to compete?”
Juliet was still aggressive. Beluan squeezed her fists angrily when seeing her father being humiliated like that. Her face flushed, but even she was not Aucklo’s opponent, let alone “Richard”.
At this ti, Chen Rui suddenly said, “By the way, teacher, didn’t you say you want to take to the third floor of the Book Collection Hall? Soone just happened to give us the contribution points now!”
Earning contribution points was not easy even for a master. Turia promised to bring Chen Rui up to check out the third floor for a few days after so ti. It seed that he was willing to sacrifice for this apprentice. Chen Rui was not a person who didn’t know how to differentiate the good from the bad. He still knew the principle of gratitude to “repay more than received”. Since Juliet had offered his points now, he could just borrow it to win Turia’s favor.
Turia was taken aback as his newly-accepted disciple continued to say, “Then Master Ju [1], I have only beco a disciple for a short ti, so my teacher only taught a little equipnt appraisal. Do you dare to compete with this? Sorry, I ca from a village and I am not eloquent. Please forgive , master.”
In fact, if Chen Rui demonstrated his true abilities, he would definitely humiliate Aucklo and even Juliet himself. He was only limited by his current identity. However, the talent of his “magic eyes” alone was enough to teach them a lesson.
“Hmph! If your teacher has the guts, let us see your newly-learned appraisal technique!” Juliet sensed this bold little chanic’s rude attitude seed intentional. He is a villager indeed. He has never heard of Aucklo’s na.
Aucklo is an uprising tal and accessory duo-specialized chanic genius. He has a very unique understanding of materials. Appraisal is originally one of his strengths. This little chanic who doesn’t know the world suggested to compete in appraisal, he is really digging his own grave.
The eyes of the father and daughter of Turia were bright at the sa ti. I never expected that “Richard” actually has this kind of quick-witted ans. All of a sudden, he dragged the competition to the only aspect that he is best at. With remarkable magic eyes talent, we will surely earn 5,000 contribution points.
Turia was not a fool. He rolled his eyes and pretended to bla Chen Rui with a look, then looking at Mavinna again. He gritted his teeth, “Who has no guts! Bring it on!”
“Okay! Master Mavinna and everyone present today are witnesses of this competition!” Juliet was overjoyed, but he didn’t know that he had dug a hole for himself, and he was going in step by step.
[1] Ju is the sa pronunciation as pig in Chinese.
Hmm... they didn’t know this “Richard” would disappear again once he achieved his objective...
