Chapter 28: Appraisal!
After gaining a rough estimate of the strength of the “forum” founders, Lin Yu submitted the business card. The tall ghost with a green face and sharp teeth took the card, and handed him a light gold badge, engraved with the words “Emperor of Fengdu.”
“Wear the badge to participate in the trade.
“Items for sale should be taken to the appraisal office for assessnt.”
Its voice was cold and eerie.
Lin Yu nodded, pinned the badge to his chest, and entered the factory.
This abandoned factory seed to have been around for so years. The spacious, tall workshop was empty, and the steel fra structure had begun to show so wear. The exposed brick walls were also covered in moss.
At this ti, the offline trading event had not officially started, but many people wearing silver masks were already moving about, chatting with each other inside the spacious workshop.
At the end of the workshop stood a temporary high platform, where three middle-aged n wearing gold masks and uniforms sat in front of a strange instrunt.
In front of the platform, over ten people were lined up, holding various Yin artifacts and materials that emitted a fog of Yin energy, and Lin Yu knew this was probably the so-called “appraisal office”!
The three n wearing gold masks were likely the appraisers, but Lin Yu wasn’t quite sure…
“This instrunt looks very modern… Can it really appraise the grade of Yin artifacts and materials?” At the end of the line, Lin Yu couldn’t help but mumble to himself.
A young man in a black hoodie, also waiting in line with a pile of rags, turned around, “Bro, is this your first ti here?”
Although the other party was wearing a mask, Lin Yu could feel his warm smile, glancing at the badge on the man’s chest…
“Crazy Blade.”
Lin Yu realized, wasn’t this the guy who enthusiastically answered questions on the forum yesterday?
He unexpectedly t him here!
“It really is my first ti!” Lin Yu didn’t pretend to understand, nodded, and asked, “Please enlighten , friend.”
Sure enough, this “Crazy Blade” was a warm-hearted person. Upon hearing Lin Yu’s question, he spoke up enthusiastically,
“This instrunt is officially produced by Center No. 9! It can accurately asure the quality of a Yin artifact or Yin material!
“Yin artifacts and materials are divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower, and each grade is further divided into three levels, based on the spiritual energy contained within.
“The better the quality and the higher the grade, the more expensive it will be!
“Of course, if it’s a consumable or functional item, like talismans or elixirs, then quality isn’t really a factor!
“Moreover, quality doesn’t determine value, so we also invited three experienced ‘players’ to estimate based on functionality, condition, side effects, etc.…
“Also, so Yin artifacts or materials cannot be appraised due to their special characteristics, which is why we brought in these three experts!”
After hearing the explanation, Lin Yu nodded in understanding.
“I see…”
He wasn’t surprised that there would be such appraisal thods at this offline trading event!
After all, Lin Yu had a system that could evaluate “quality” and grade.
He was simply quite shocked that the Xia governnt had actually “manufactured” this instrunt!
It seed that the technology mastered by the governnt, as well as the strength of the earliest batches of internal testers, might be even more formidable than he had imagined!
Although the strongest ghost handlers might only control fierce ghosts like himself, their own strength and their reserves of Yin artifacts and technology were likely much stronger than his!
It seed he still needed to be more low-key!
As Lin Yu was thinking this, Crazy Blade spoke to him again,
“Hey… buddy, are you planning to sell sothing?”
Lin Yu thought for a mont, feeling that nether copper coins probably didn’t count as Yin artifacts or materials, so he replied, “It’s… so functional little gadgets!”
He didn’t plan to take out the Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine for appraisal.
Since even the ferocious ghost Zhu Jiang was moved by it, he had already decided to operate under the identity of a “newcor” and keep a low profile.
Crazy Blade nodded in understanding upon hearing Lin Yu’s words.
With the cover of the mask, ghost controllers couldn’t easily assess each other’s strength unless they actively released their spiritual energy, so Crazy Blade viewed Lin Yu as a lucky newcor!
“He should be from the fifth batch of beta testers, who got so benefits by chance in the first dungeon!
“After the appraisal, I should remind him not to let the more experienced buyers fool him!”
The warm-hearted Crazy Blade thought this as the line quickly moved forward, the three specially invited senior experts combined the instrunt’s results to continuously label the items held by everyone with authentication tags.
With nothing to do, Lin Yu also looked at the platform,
“Low-grade, first level, soon to be dium-grade Yin artifact… function is primary detection! Not bad! You’re quite lucky!”
A bald man looked at the red light flashing on the instrunt, listened to the expert’s opinion, and showed a delighted expression.
“Thank you, expert!”
As he said this, people around him displayed expressions of either envy or jealousy,
and many eyes flashed with a hint of greed!
“I can’t believe it, a low-grade first level Yin artifact… even a detection type could be worth hundreds of thousands!”
Even Crazy Blade’s tone involuntarily revealed a bit of sourness.
Upon hearing his words, Lin Yu felt the reactions of the crowd and touched the Grudge Skull Necklace hidden under his collar…
“It seems everyone is having a tough ti these days…”
After all, he had a dium-grade, dual-function Yin artifact here!
