He Qing's excited expression froze. She rushed out anxiously and ran to another palace. This was the residence of the sixth princess of Jade Dragon Kingdom, He Yu.
In Jade Dragon Kingdom, the sixth princess, He Yu, was a taboo. Everyone in the palace knew how special she was. After all, she had been cursed by the royal family since young and no one was willing to get close to her.
The seventh princess, He Qing, was an exception. She had been closest to her sixth sister since young. When she arrived, she bumped into the guard captain who was rushing out.
"Uncle Lu, how is my sister?"
He Qing stepped forward and asked anxiously. Uncle Lu shook his head. "Her Highness isn't doing too well this time. She's unconscious and the palace doctor is here to treat her. Please don't worry, Seventh Princess."
He Qing nodded and was about to enter when she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and asked, "Uncle Lu, where are you going?"
Uncle Lu replied, "I'm going to Maple City immediately. Perhaps there's someone who can save Her Highness."
...
Maple City, Beast Appraisal Association.
Wang Ji arrived earlier than usual for no other reason than the fact that the City Lord Manor's Steward Zuo would be here soon to collect the eleven mutated eggs and the corresponding evaluation reports.
As the Guild Master, he had to take over this matter personally.
Wang Ji was rather dissatisfied with this assignment from the City Lord Manor. Appraising eleven mutated eggs in such a short period of time? Wasn't that a joke?
But even if he complained, there were still things he had to do.
Fortunately, he and Gao Jiang managed to appraise two eggs yesterday so he could reluctantly hand it over.
Of course, if the job wasn't done well, someone had to take the blame. Wang Ji had chosen Lin Jin as the scapegoat. If there were no accidents, Lin Jin's qualifications as an official beast appraiser would be revoked by headquarters in a few days at the earliest.
Hence, if there were any problems, it wouldn't be wrong to throw the blame at him.
Stepping into the appraisal hall, Wang Ji was displeased to see Lin Jin nowhere to be seen. "Where's Lin Jin?"
An apprentice came running over but couldn't find Lin Jin either.
Wang Ji was enraged. "Mud can't hold up a wall. He actually dared to leave his post. Note this down for me. This is preposterous."
Having said that, he went over to check on the eggs. To his surprise, there was an evaluation report beside each egg. He picked it up and flipped it open. The first thing he saw was the signature. It was Lin Jin's.
Wang Ji became even angrier. "Nonsense! As a beast appraiser, fabricating a beast evaluation report is a taboo. How dare he write something like this? I think he really doesn't want to work anymore."
However, when Wang Ji took a closer look at the beast evaluation report in his hand, he was immediately stunned.
Although harsh, Wang Ji must have some skills to be able to become chief of Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association. At the very least, his professional abilities matched his status.
Mutant eggs were difficult to appraise because of the unique spiritual energy barrier. Hence, ordinary appraisal methods couldn't see through it. Even as a Rank 2 beast appraiser, he couldn't do anything about it. All he could do was rely on his rich experience. Even the evaluation reports were based on guesses.
However, how could Lin Jin's evaluation report contain any sort of prediction? Reading through it, it was as if the results were already set.
There seemed to be a problem, right?
But the reality was the complete opposite.
As long as one read through it carefully, they would realize that the results were reasonable. There were many professional jargon used in the process, including determining the pattern of the eggshell and the degree of light transmission. Some of the methods were even Wang Ji's first time seeing. But as he pondered over them, he was suddenly enlightened.
This was something Wang Ji could see. He could even recall which book he had read about some of the appraisal methods. However, he had forgotten them in practice. Now that he was reading through it, he felt enlightened and enlightened.
Wang Ji continued reading, feeling more and more astonished. Other than astonishment, there was also joy.
Because he had learned quite a lot from these evaluation reports. Although he still couldn't understand some of them, just understanding twenty to thirty percent of the content was enough to make him feel like he had improved tremendously.
After reading through them, Wang Ji's expression changed and his fingers trembled.
From his professional point of view, there was nothing wrong with these evaluation reports. In fact, their standards were far above his. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that even the association could start a war of learning, discussing, and researching these evaluation reports.
Wang Ji himself had learned several new appraisal methods and theories from them.
If these were written by a Rank 3 beast appraiser, Wang Ji would believe it. But were these all Lin Jin's handwriting?
Wang Ji couldn't help but feel suspicious and unreal.
He couldn't figure it out. How did Lin Jin come up with these?
Did someone write it for him?
That was impossible. Lin Jin couldn't possibly have hired a Rank 3 beast appraiser to write for him. Moreover, he had asked the apprentices on night duty outside. No one had entered or left the room during the entire process.
In other words, these evaluation reports were most likely written by Lin Jin.
Although Wang Ji hated to admit it, he knew that the standards of these evaluation reports were far above his own.
A hint of struggle and hesitation flashed across Wang Ji's eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination.
Whether or not Lin Jin was truly talented or just a stroke of genius, it didn't matter. What mattered was that Lin Jin couldn't make a comeback.
In his report to headquarters, Wang Ji had been extremely derogatory toward Lin Jin. If Lin Jin were to suddenly rise and shine, what would happen to him as chief?
Hence, Wang Ji would rather believe that Lin Jin had gotten lucky. In any case, he couldn't give Lin Jin a chance to make a comeback. Not only was this so that he could promote Jia Qian in the future, but it was also because he had to do this. Otherwise, headquarters would hold him accountable.
At this, Wang Ji took a deep breath. He had the others leave and guard the door to prevent anyone from entering. Then, he lit a fire and burned all of Lin Jin's evaluation reports.
He had memorized the contents of these beast evaluation reports. He planned to immediately start writing them out in his own way.
"Guards, wait outside and bring the gifts out. If the City Lord Manor's Steward Zuo comes later, comfort him and tell him that I'm in the middle of an evaluation. Ask him to wait for a moment." Wang Ji quickly made the arrangements. With that, the act of replacing Lin Jin with Lin Jin would be completed.
Wang Ji rolled up his sleeves and began rewriting the evaluation reports in his own way, based on the contents of the previous reports.
This matter was settled. Wang Ji wasn't afraid of Lin Jin making a fuss after this. Firstly, Lin Jin couldn't possibly know about it. Secondly, even if he did, did Lin Jin have any concrete evidence? Wang Ji had already burned the evidence. All he had to do was instruct the apprentices on night duty and no one would know that Lin Jin had appraised a mutant egg here.
After he was done, Wang Ji was exhausted. After all, he had rushed to finish the report. However, he was excited.
Appraising a mutant egg would definitely add a great deal of color to his resume. Not only would he receive an evaluation from headquarters, but the City Lord Manor would also reward him handsomely.
Stretching his numb arm, Wang Ji regained his solemn expression and strode out.
Silence returned to the appraisal hall.
An hour later, Lin Jin appeared out of thin air in a corner of the hall.
"F * ck, there's no concept of time in the museum. I only studied those rare beasts and curator's authority. I didn't expect so much time to pass."
Lin Jin finally exited the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
In the Visitation Hall, the curator had quite a number of privileges. Lin Jin had to slowly try them out. For example, he could choose whether or not to allow visitors to see the museum's beasts, including specimens. He could also choose to allow visitors to see his own image.
This was the most interesting.
This was also why Lin Jin took so long to come out. It felt like the process of creating a character in a game before he transmigrated to this world.
As the saying went, 'One minute in a game is three hours of creating a face'. In the end, Lin Jin chose his own 'curator' image. Because he was too engrossed in the process, he didn't notice the passage of time.
