By the time Lin Jin returned to the Beast Appraisal Association, Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun had already written down Lu Ba's evolution ideas and methods.
This was the 'homework' Lin Jin had left for them.
After reading through them, Lin Jin nodded. They were clearly much better than before. At least, they were starting to head in the right direction. Still, they were a little conservative, especially Zhao Ying. She had a solid foundation, but she didn't dare to take too many risks. Lu Xiaoyun was a little stronger, but sometimes, her ideas were too wild.
"You two have improved. How about this? I'll write down Lu Ba's evolution ideas and methods. Take a look and it should help you improve a little."
Having said that, Lin Jin finished his unfinished evaluation report. Then, he signed and stamped his seal before handing it to the girls.
Come to think of it, they had racked their brains, writing down everything they could and couldn't think of. But now that they read Lin Jin's evolution methods, they were astounded.
Comparing oneself to others was infuriating.
Just look at Appraiser Lin. Not only were his ideas novel, but they weren't wild either. They were supported by a solid foundation.
Every step, every possibility, as well as how to use pills, spirit stones, and Dharmic arts to activate it to form signs of advancement were all written down clearly and could withstand scrutiny. In fact, this evaluation report could even be used as a model for teaching.
"So it works like this?"
"Appraiser Lin has such a profound understanding of the five elements of yin and yang. This kind of thinking is unheard of."
"And pharmacology. It's so important. It's no wonder pharmacology was a compulsory subject in beast appraiser school. It's a pity I didn't study it properly back then."
Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun began immersing themselves in their studies, unable to extricate themselves.
Watching these two peerless beauties focus on their studies, and what they were learning was a wonderful sight to behold.
Just then, someone outside asked, "Is Appraiser Lin here?"
A man dressed like an artisan came in with his pet beast. He was holding Lin Jin's number plate in his hand, clearly here for an appraisal.
"Business!"
Lin Jin immediately sat down and invited the man in.
Since Lin Jin had treated the old craftsman cow and saved his life, his name spread like wildfire among the craftsmen 'circle.
These craftsmen were all commoners. It wasn't easy to get a consultation with other beast appraisers and they had to queue up. They knew that Appraiser Lin Jin wasn't as bad as the rumors made him out to be. Not only was he not bad, but he was also highly skilled and had a noble character.
As a result, those who needed beast appraisals and medical advice immediately flocked to him because of his reputation.
This was only the first one.
Soon, many people came to ask for Lin Jin's consultation number. The previously quiet consultation hall suddenly became lively. Lin Jin, who had been idle all this while, began to get busy.
Some passersby who didn't know the truth were curious. After all, Lin Jin's' infamy 'in the Beast Appraisal Association had been intentionally spread by others. To put it bluntly, even passersby who had never been to the Beast Appraisal Association had heard of this' useless beast appraiser 'who didn't live up to his reputation.
There were even some who took it as a joke.
Naturally, these people were curious as to why Lin Jin, who had been ignored all this while, was suddenly visited by more than one person.
Only after asking did they find out the reason.
It turned out that it wasn't just the craftsmen 'circle who were defending Lin Jin's reputation. The customers who had witnessed Lin Jin tasting dishes and punishing Zhang Baili at Symphony Restaurant all said that Lin Jin was truly talented. In addition, Lin Jin had taken the initiative to shamelessly invite a few people to help him with beast appraisals and the results were surprisingly good. With all these people testifying together, Lin Jin suddenly became a hot topic. Although the number of visitors didn't increase because of this, there were still quite a few who came to watch the commotion.
When someone left after a beast appraisal, people gathered around to ask about it curiously.
Among the crowd was a chubby figure dressed in an apprentice beast appraiser's patterned sleeve. He paced around Lin Jin's consultation hall a few times until the crowd dwindled. Then, he pushed the door open and entered.
Lin Jin was in a good mood today.
Although his consultation number wasn't as high in demand as Wang Ji and Gao Jiang, it was much better than before. He was even on par with some of the more skilled apprentices like Jia Qian and Zhang He.
This was a huge improvement.
"That's the way. We have to take things one step at a time. There's no hurry. Sooner or later, they'll all know of my capabilities," Lin Jin said gleefully.
At the same time, the chubby apprentice entered.
"Greetings, Appraiser Lin!"
Upon seeing Lin Jin, the guy immediately went up to greet him, looking like a simple and honest man.
"Who are you?" Lin Jin could tell that the man was an apprentice of the association. However, there were many apprentices in the association and Lin Jin didn't know most of them.
The chubby man was all smiles. "Appraiser Lin, my name is Han Dong. I've just joined the association not too long ago. I've heard of Appraiser Lin's skills and character so I'd like to apply to be apprenticed under you."
Lin Jin was overjoyed.
As an official beast appraiser, the number of apprentices he had under him was an important indicator of his abilities and achievements. Lin Jin was single before this. After Zhang He's' betrayal ', he didn't have many apprentices to begin with and they all ran away. Although this was the fault of his' predecessor ', it clearly wasn't a good thing for Lin Jin.
Later on, Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun volunteered to be apprenticed under him. However, it was also because Lin Jin used his abilities to 'conquer' them. Han Dong was the first person who volunteered to be apprenticed under him.
"That's good, that's good. Go and settle the paperwork!" Lin Jin said amiably. Han Dong was stunned. "Is … is it that simple? Appraiser Lin, don't you need to test me? "
In the association, people like Chief Wang Ji and Appraiser Gao Jiang were extremely strict when it came to accepting apprentices as apprentices. Not only did they have to make an appointment in advance, but they also had to go through several tests.
Knowledge of various subjects, including beast identification, knowledge of the Encyclopedia of Beasts, knowledge of the five elemental attributes, and pharmacology were all required. After all, there were many apprentices in the association and not everyone could learn under an official beast appraiser. Competition was a must.
Lin Jin waved his hand. "There's no need for that. If you know everything, why would you need to be apprenticed? Since you're here, I don't care about your foundation. "
Lin Jin's confidence was evident in his words.
Of course, his confidence came from the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
With the museum, forget apprentices, Lin Jin was even qualified to teach that old man, Wang Ji.
Han Dong had prepared quite a bit. After all, he came 'prepared'. He was even thinking of ways to shake off Lin Jin's suspicions. But to think it would be this easy.
In fact, apart from asking his name, the other party didn't ask anything else.
'Hmph, everyone says that Lin Jin is incompetent, undisciplined, and incompetent. Now that I've seen it for myself, it's true. It's a taboo that he doesn't value his apprentices' assessment. Doesn't he know that the apprentices' scores are linked to his monthly assessment? '
Han Dong thought to himself. But he wouldn't say it out loud.
Because he was a 'spy' hired by Dong He to begin with.
Han Dong had arranged for him to monitor Lin Jin. Moreover, Han Dong knew that if nothing went wrong, Lin Jin would soon be stripped of his beast appraiser license and kicked out of the association.
Han Dong just had to make sure that nothing went wrong during this period.
After the deed was done, Dong He promised to give Han Dong a chance to serve as an apprentice. This was an important step for an apprentice, so Han Dong came.
