"Special Item Appraisal Fee: 4 large crystals."
The sentence that was hung in front of the doors of the appraisal agencies immediately turned Lin Sanjiu, who was initially interested in the appraisal, into a stray dog.
She stood helplessly at the entrance of the shop and watched as many posthumans walked in and out of the appraisal agencies. Their faces were calm and composed, and it was obvious that the four large crystals were nothing to them. However, when they saw Lin Sanjiu standing there in a daze, they couldn't help showing a hint of understanding on their faces. Apparently, she wasn't the first outsider who came to the Twelve Worlds Centrum for the first time and didn't have the money to appraise an item.
"How do the other newcomers do?"
Just as Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she suddenly saw the glass door of the appraisal agency open. The glass was very special. She could see everything through it except for the people inside. When she first saw a vase floating through the door, she almost thought that she saw a duoluozhong again.
This time, it was a young man whom she had met at the entrance of the shop.
His body was still behind the door, so it looked like a floating head. He looked at Lin Sanjiu from head to toe and asked, "Are you a newcomer? Don't you have any money?"
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
"We have to collect the appraisal fee first," the man frowned, "It's useless for you to wait here. However, I can tell you a way. You have to pay a little. "
Lin Sanjiu's eyes lit up.
"There are some private appraisers who specialize in dealing with newcomers like you. They don't charge you for the appraisal, but you have to sell your item to them after the appraisal. They will take a percentage of the sale price." The man seemed to feel that she and the two big wings standing at the door were a bit of a hindrance to business, so he said very clearly, "Go to the second basement floor of this building. There are those little guys who specialize in picking up customers. Just follow them."
This information was no different from a life-saving straw. Lin Sanjiu didn't care about the part that was taken from her. She quickly thanked him and went to the second basement.
Unlike the clean and beautiful shops on the upper floors, the deeper she went, the smaller the shops were. The more people there were, the more crowded they were. When she reached the second basement, she saw a lot of people. The stalls were crowded together, and it was a foul atmosphere.
He observed for a while. Lin Sanjiu found the people in this place to be quite interesting. In such a crowded place, it was inevitable that people would bump into each other. A bald man with a white canine on his shoulder accidentally bumped into a little girl in a red dress. Both of them stopped in their tracks and looked at each other for a few seconds without saying a word. They seemed to be comparing whose strength was stronger. Then, the bald, brawny man bowed and whispered, "Excuse me." Then, the two of them separated.
Lin Sanjiu found a corner and stood there. Whether it was her height or the wings on her back, they were all very eye-catching. After a few minutes, just as the person upstairs had said, a young, thin, and weak-looking youth poked his head out to look around.
At first glance, Lin Sanjiu could tell that the man was very weak. He probably did not have much experience outside the Twelve Worlds Centrum.
"Sis, do you want to appraise it? We'll cover it all. You just have to wait for the money! "The waiter smiled and tried to strike up a conversation.
"Where?" Lin Sanjiu put on a cold face, trying her best to act as if she was experienced.
"It's not far from here!" The waiter immediately became enthusiastic when he saw that there might be a customer.
"Lead the way," Lin Sanjiu said calmly, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
He seemed to be very familiar with this place. He made a few twists and turns before leading Lin Sanjiu out through the back door. Then, he made his way through a few different alleys. "Soon, soon, it's just in front." Lin Sanjiu finally saw the shop after about ten minutes. "Soon, soon, it's just in front." Lin Sanjiu could finally see the shop.
It was even worse than those pitch-black Special Item recycling shops.
Lin Sanjiu was almost pierced by her wings. Lin Sanjiu crouched down and stretched her wings on her back without any guidance. Only then did she manage to squeeze through the narrow alleyway and entered a courtyard.
"Please sit here and wait for me. I'll call the master, "the waiter led Lin Sanjiu into the living room. As he spoke, he poured her a cup of tea. Lin Sanjiu saw that the tea was bright red in color and there were a few hard pieces in it. She asked the waiter about it and the waiter quickly explained. It was from the shell of a red nautilus. The water in it smelled like meat.
Lin Sanjiu's hand froze for two seconds before she put down the teacup.
The moment the waiter disappeared, his master pushed open the door and entered the room. It was a middle-aged man with bright red hair and a face full of wrinkles and scars. He wore a robe with the words "Appraiser" written on it. The moment he entered the room, he glared at Lin Sanjiu with his bell-like eyes and shouted, "Are you the one who wants to have an appraisal?"
If Lin Sanjiu wasn't so confident in her own skills, she might have been scared off by him if it was someone else.
"Well, as usual, give me the item and you wait here," the red-haired man's voice seemed to be very loud. He extended his large, fan-like hand to Lin Sanjiu, "The result will be out in about two hours! After I sell it, I want 20% of the profit! "
Lin Sanjiu immediately hesitated.
After all, this was a place with such a suspicious appearance. Lin Sanjiu was a little worried if she let the man disappear with her item. After thinking for a while, she tried her best to remain calm and asked, "Can I follow you?"
"You can't do that. This is the rule!" The appraiser seemed to have been asked a lot of such questions. He waved his hand impatiently, "Seriously, you are just sitting in my house. Why are you worried about me?"
"This is this man's house?"
Lin Sanjiu was slightly taken aback. She couldn't help looking out of the window. Even though most of the space outside was blocked by the endless skyscrapers, she vaguely saw a clothesline in a corner. There were a few pieces of men's clothing hanging on the clothesline.
Somehow, this very life-like detail convinced her.
"Okay, I will appraise this book," Lin Sanjiu recalled a saying, "If you doubt someone, don't use him. If you use him, don't doubt him." She gritted her teeth and took out "A Sorrowful Maiden", "Oh right, after you appraise it …"
"We all have clients," the red-haired man took the book away impatiently, "We just need to inform you when we have new stock. We can sell it in a few days. Anyway, the item is in your hands. Whatever price the client gives you, I will get 20% of the price. Do you understand? "
Lin Sanjiu felt a little more relieved. The appraiser was an impatient person. Before he finished his sentence, he had already pushed open the door and entered another room. Lin Sanjiu sat on the same spot. As if to ease the strange feelings in her heart, she took a sip of tea made from red nautilus shells.
Two hours passed quickly.
No one appeared. (To be continued.)

Thank you for Sakura Myeyo's Pink and Lukewarm Water's Protective Charm ~!
As she was writing this chapter, Ma Jianguo suddenly appeared! He appeared behind Niu Niu's back! When I realized this, I couldn't help but want to write more about this character. His ability could be "Show a face that doesn't belong to him in the reflection of light"...
After thinking about it, I decided not to. I don't want to lose my subscription.
