"So, according to the rules of the Appraisal Association, the cheapest price is only a 20% discount?" Li Huailin was already sitting in the main seat of the Appraisal Office of the Auction House. Below him was a large group of NPCs who lowered their heads and looked at Li Huailin with fear. The leader of the group was Brolin, the president of the Appraisal Association of the main cities.
Brolin looked like an NPC who was much younger than the appraisers. He was probably not in charge of the appraisal, but just a person in charge of the business. The so-called Appraisal Association was, of course, a more commercial association. Of course, Li Huailin did not know where it came from.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Continent." Brolin looked at Li Huailin with an ashen face, as if he had been hit by a car when he went out.
"Then, why did he tell me that he could appraise it for free?" Li Huailin pointed at Wendos, who also had his head lowered.
Brolin didn't say anything and just stared at Wendos next to him. Wendos had no choice but to say, "I … I thought that His Majesty would not appraise many items. After all, this mysterious equipment has been lost for a long time, and it should not appear in large quantities. So, I thought that if there were only a few items, I would pay for it, but I didn't expect …"
Li Huailin finally understood. This guy originally wanted to bribe him. Indeed, Li Huailin's status was quite high now, and many NPCs were thinking of ways to give him money. This guy was really smart, but he did not expect that he would have so many pieces of equipment to be appraised. Each piece of equipment was worth 10,000 gold. With a 20% discount, it was still 8,000 gold. There were at least 70 pieces on the ground, and they were worth more than 500,000 gold. He definitely could not afford it.
"F * ck, are you messing with me?" Thinking of this, Li Huailin slammed the table and stood up. "President Brolin, right? I will definitely deal with this guy, but he is also a member of the Appraisal Association now. Let me make it clear now. The Appraisal Association is now in trouble. What are you going to do?"
"…" Brolin had a bitter look on his face. How did he know that this would happen? He was sitting in the office well, and in the end, he was inexplicably involved in such a big matter. What Li Huailin said made sense. Wendos was one of his people, and he had promised to give him a free appraisal. Now, he said no. Wasn't that toying with him? Who was Li Huailin? He was the current emperor of the continent. Up until now, no force had dared to jump out and challenge Li Huailin. Would the Firmament Association dare to do so? Of course, he didn't dare to.
How should he deal with this situation? Brolin thought about it for a while. Fortunately, his brain worked fast and he immediately came up with a solution. After organizing his words a little, Brolin said to Li Huailin, "Your Majesty, this matter is actually quite easy to solve. Wendos has violated the rules of the Appraiser Association, so we have to expel him. "
"Hey, do you think you can get rid of this matter by simply expelling a temporary worker?" Li Huailin immediately questioned. He had seen this scene many times. Why was it so popular in the game to get a temporary job whenever something happened?
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, this is actually not a big deal." When Brolin saw Li Huailin's expression, he immediately explained, "Your Majesty, you see, I fired him. This guy is no longer one of us, right? Then, didn't this old guy anger Your Majesty? Your Majesty can deal with this guy however you want. For example, take him back and ask him to help you appraise your equipment. I think Mr. Wendos should be responsible for what he said, right?"
Brolin looked at Wendos in displeasure. Of course, he would not speak up for him. It would be best if he could solve the problem by expelling this guy.
On the other hand, Li Huailin also understood what Brolin meant. Since he wanted to appraise equipment, he could just take Wendos away. In the future, he would be one of his people, and he could appraise anything he wanted. It would definitely be free. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Li Huailin nodded slightly. This was not bad. It was equivalent to picking up an appraisal master for free. It would take a long time to train a master appraiser. Now, it was equivalent to saying that the system was giving him one for free. Was this not a great thing?
"What you said makes sense." Li Huailin nodded slightly. "I thought about it, and it is indeed the case. This matter is indeed a personal grudge between this guy and me, so it doesn't seem to have much to do with the Appraisal Association, right?"
Li Huailin meant that he would not hold the Appraisal Association responsible. Brolin understood immediately and immediately bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Okay, your name is Wendos, right? You heard what happened. Come with me," Li Huailin said to Wendos.
"Uh … Yes, Your Majesty …" Wendos knew that Wendos did not want to leave when he saw his expression. He was doing very well here. He had a lot of benefits, and his status was high. Of course, he did not think about changing his profession, but he had no choice now. Who asked him to have a bad mouth? Not only did he offend Li Huailin, but he also offended his boss, Brolin. Anyway, he could not stay here anymore, so he could only follow Li Huailin.
"Okay, then … Oh, I won't go for now. I am in a hurry to appraise the equipment. Brolin, can you let me use your place? I will appraise a few pieces of equipment here. " Li Huailin thought about it and decided not to return to the Duke's mansion. There must be a lot of things there, and he could not be bothered to deal with them. It was better to finish the appraisal here.
"Your Majesty, it is not a problem to borrow a place, but …" Brolin hesitated slightly.
"But what?" Li Huailin asked.
"Appraising equipment requires a certain amount of materials and equipment, these things …" Brolin did not finish his sentence, but what he meant was that these things were costly, and they could not be appraised with just a spell.
Li Huailin really did not know about this, but Li Huailin had already made up his mind not to pay, so how could he pay? He looked at Wendos on the ground, pointed at him, and said, "No matter how much it is, this guy owes you first. If you don't have enough money, you can drag this guy to work in the future to pay off the debt. Anyway, if I want to appraise equipment in the future, I will come here to look for him, okay?"
"Of course, that's fine." Brolin immediately said, and then looked at Wendos with a smile. Wendos' face was ashen, it's over.
"Hurry up and welcome His Majesty to the VIP room," Brolin immediately said to the person next to him after the matter was over.
Someone immediately sent Li Huailin and the Jade Summoning Emperor to a large room on the side, and someone even served them tea. On the table next to them, Wendos was appraising equipment for Li Huailin with a frown.
Li Huailin observed for a bit. Equipment appraisal was really not a simple matter, and it was not something that could be done with a spell. Wendos' steps were very complicated. He would use a magnifying glass to observe, then drop a few drops of unknown liquid on the side, then look at it again, and then use a flash of magic. Li Huailin did not understand the steps, but it was very troublesome no matter how he looked at it.
It also took a long time to appraise a piece of equipment. At least, Li Huailin waited for the first piece of equipment for more than ten minutes before Wendos let out a sigh of relief, indicating that the appraisal was complete.
"F * ck, does this appraisal take so long?" Li Huailin asked with a bewildered expression.
"Yeah, I just waited for so long. I thought it would be quick too," the Jade Summoning Emperor immediately said.
"Hey, hey, can you hurry up? Are you slacking?" Li Huailin asked as he pointed at Wendos.
"No, I'm wronged, Your Majesty. How could I dare to deceive you?" Wendos was frightened and immediately said, "Your Majesty, appraisal is a very difficult task. It needs to be careful and cautious. I have been in the industry for more than 40 years, so I can be considered a veteran. Newbies need even more time. And the most important thing is that your equipment is good, so the time needed is even longer. "
"According to him, good equipment not only requires more money, but it also requires a longer time," said the Jade Emperor Summoner.
"That might be the case." Li Huailin nodded. Indeed, he had too much equipment. Ordinary people could not take out more than 70 pieces at once, but it took more than ten minutes to appraise one piece. How long would he have to wait? Li Huailin did not have the patience to wait any longer.
"Come, come, come. Wait a minute." Li Huailin stood up and said, "There are a few books here, and they are shown as unappraised. Hurry up and appraise these books for me."
"Oh, okay, Your Majesty." Wendos immediately put down the equipment in his hand and stood up to take a few books. He looked at them and said, "Your Majesty, these are a few rare skill books, but they look … very rare …"
"I know they are very rare. Can you appraise them?" Li Huailin asked.
"There shouldn't be a problem. I can appraise skill books too. Although I have never seen this type of book before, the method should be the same." Wendos nodded and said, "It might just take some time."
"As long as you can appraise them, then hurry up … Appraise this' Nine Swords Beyond the Swords' for me." Li Huailin looked through the books for a while, and sure enough, this' Nine Swords Beyond the Swords' was the most eye-catching. Li Huailin was really curious about whether he could learn it after appraising it and what it would be like if he could learn it.
"Nine Swords Beyond the Swords?" Wendos was slightly stunned. He looked at the garbled code on the cover of the book. "Your Majesty, you can read these words?"
"None of your business. Hurry up and appraise it," Li Huailin roared.
