Han Dong went to settle the paperwork and soon, he was officially registered under Lin Jin's name. This was unreal. Had it been any other beast appraiser, it would have taken at least five to six days from the application, review, assessment, and hiring process.
Lin Jin brought Han Dong over to greet Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun.
Han Dong's eyes lit up at the sight of Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun. He had long heard of these two beauties in the association. Even though he only met them by chance, he never greeted them. Now that he was meeting them officially, things were different.
There was a ranking of beauties in Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association. Of course, at the top of the list was the number one apprentice, Jia Qian, who was close to becoming an official beast appraiser.
In second place was Lu Xiaoyun.
Zhao Ying was a rising star but she had good looks and could fight. At the very least, she was on par with Lu Xiaoyun. Meeting her today, she truly lived up to her reputation.
"I'm Han Dong. Greetings, seniors." Han Dong was obviously quick-witted and quick-witted. Otherwise, Dong He wouldn't have picked him to be a 'spy'.
Zhao Ying merely nodded without saying a word. Lu Xiaoyun, on the other hand, said enthusiastically, "You've done the right thing by registering under Appraiser Lin's name. From now on, we'll be working in the same consultation hall. If anything happens, we'll take care of you."
Han Dong nodded at once.
Despite his plump figure, he was a diligent worker. As soon as he arrived, he was already sweeping the floor with a broom and wiping the tables. Lin Jin nodded at his eagerness to do most of the work.
At the very least, this newcomer was diligent.
Han Dong was here as a spy so he kept his mission in mind. Hence, while it looked like he was cleaning, he was actually observing Lin Jin's consultation hall.
Frankly speaking, this place was quite run-down.
Dong He planned to work as a registered consultant as well. Even as an apprentice, Dong He's consultation hall was more spacious and brighter than this place, let alone Appraiser Gao Jiang and Chief Wang Ji.
At least in terms of hardware, there was no comparison at all.
The consultation hall was divided into two rooms. The outer room was for beast appraisals while the inner room was for storage. Under the pretense of cleaning, Han Dong walked in and immediately saw the pet beasts inside.
The most eye-catching one was the sapphire tortoise that Zu Can had left here.
After all, this pet beast was huge, about half the height of a grown man. With such a large tortoise standing there, it was hard not to notice. The turtle was lying on the ground. Although it wasn't moving, it stuck its head out and looked at the fire wolf.
The Fire Wolf was naturally Xiao Huo.
Ever since Xiao Huo evolved perfectly and became a Rank 3 pet beast, his aura was completely different from the mongrel from before. Although he wasn't the biggest, he had a unique aura that hinted at the strength of a beast king. He was currently coiled up in a corner. When Han Dong entered, he looked over cautiously.
The man and the wolf looked at each other. Han Dong was immediately defeated. He averted his gaze, feeling extremely shocked.
"This Fire Wolf is a little strange."
Han Dong didn't know if he was imagining things, but he had a feeling that this fire wolf was very wary of him. Moreover, its gaze didn't seem like that of a pet beast. Instead, it made his heart palpitate and fearful.
It was really strange.
Although Han Dong wasn't an official beast appraiser, he was still an apprentice so he had the ability to resist pet beasts. This was called 'Mind Calming', a basic skill that apprentices must master.
After all, they would have to deal with all kinds of pet beasts in the future. Encountering gentle beasts was fine, but if they were to encounter a ferocious one, would they be frightened by a single glance?
Of course not.
Hence, Mind Calming was a compulsory course and they had to meet the required standards.
However, when Han Dong glanced at him earlier, he felt that he had not learned this foundational compulsory course well. He had actually been scared stiff.
"An accident. This is an accident." Unconvinced, Han Dong continued to observe.
Other than the sapphire tortoise and the fire wolf, there was Zhao Ying's pangolin and Lu Xiaoyun's red fox.
Resting behind Xiao Huo, the two pet beasts were equally imposing.
It was then that Han Dong realized something very important.
Other than the sapphire tortoise, the other pet beasts seemed to be Rank 2.
After all, he was an apprentice beast appraiser with a solid foundation. There was no way he would be wrong about this. Rank 2 pet beasts exuded a rich aura and could already utilize elemental powers.
Just by opening his spiritual eye, he could tell from the elemental spirit energy around the pet beasts.
There was no way he could be wrong about this.
'Appraiser Lin's pet beast is Rank 2 and the pet beasts of the two apprentices under him are also Rank 2. This is an important discovery. I have to note it down and report it back, 'Han Dong thought to himself. Then, he went back to pretending to clean up.
Wait a minute.
Suddenly remembering something, Han Dong quickly turned to the sapphire tortoise.
Whose pet beast was this giant tortoise?
And why did it look so familiar?
Han Dong pondered for a moment before remembering that he had seen this sapphire tortoise more than once. "It's Young Master Zu's pet beast.
"It's Young Master Zu's pet beast. Young Master Zu has visited the association several times, including Chief Wang Ji and Appraiser Gao Jiang. It seems like this turtle is suffering from a strange disease, but I heard that it's incurable. Even Chief Wang Ji and Appraiser Gao Jiang couldn't do anything about it, so they asked Young Master Zu to give up. Recently, this sapphire turtle looked like it was about to die, so why does it look so energetic now?"
This was definitely a huge discovery.
Puzzled, Han Dong went forward to take a closer look, afraid that he was mistaken.
"There's no mistaking it. This is Young Master Zu's pet beast. There's no mistaking it. There's even the Zu family's mark on its shell." Han Dong took a deep breath.
Just two days ago, this pet beast was on the brink of death and was' sentenced to death 'by Chief Wang Ji and Appraiser Gao Jiang. But today, it didn't look like it was going to die. Although it wasn't exactly jumping around, it was full of vigor.
"Could it be that Young Master Zu came to Appraiser Lin for treatment and he was cured?" Han Dong shook his head. Even he didn't believe his own speculation. "How is that possible?"
After all, this giant tortoise was something that even Chief Wang and Appraiser Gao Jiang couldn't do anything about. How could Lin Jin possibly cure it?
But now that the truth was right before their eyes, they had no choice but to believe it.
Han Dong was shocked but he suppressed his emotions. He made a mental note of this and his evaluation of Lin Jin also improved.
'Everyone says that Appraiser Lin is ignorant and incompetent. But from the looks of it, that doesn't seem to be the case. Could it be that the rumors are all false and someone is trying to frame him? ' Han Dong knew that while the association appeared to be peaceful on the surface, there was actually a lot of internal strife. Perhaps his speculation was right.
'Even if that's the case, there's nothing I can do to change it. I'm just an insignificant apprentice. I just have to do my job well, 'Han Dong told himself before preparing to leave.
Just then, he saw a stack of evaluation reports.
He had just brought them here.
Han Dong picked them up and flipped through them. His eyes immediately lit up.
"Amazing, this is amazing. Beast evaluation reports can be written this way."
"Amazing. A problem that can't be diagnosed on the surface can be identified from its attribute and environment. Is this something an average person can do?"
"The shallow water crocodile has a fire attribute. Shouldn't it be a water attribute? This appraisal method is so novel … Man, it can even be done like this? "
Just like Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun, anyone with even the slightest appreciation for Lin Jin's evaluation reports wouldn't be able to put them down once they read them.
Han Dong's dream was to become an outstanding beast appraiser. However, he came from a poor family and wasn't particularly handsome, so he could only rely on his own hard work.
In terms of basic knowledge, Han Dong was no worse than anyone else. Hence, with just one look, he was able to discern the intricacies of the evaluation reports. He immediately forgot about everything else and focused on reading them. From time to time, his expression would change as he slapped his thigh in excitement.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" Suddenly, a voice rang out, startling Han Dong so much that he shuddered.
Already feeling guilty, Han Dong dropped the evaluation reports on the floor out of fright. He turned to see Zhao Ying standing beside him with an indifferent expression.
"Senior Zhao!" Han Dong called out, quickly calming himself down.
Zhao Ying bent down to pick up the evaluation reports.
"Did I scare you just now? It was the same when I first read Appraiser Lin's evaluation reports. I was immersed in them for several hours, unable to extricate myself. "
Han Dong asked, "Are these all Appraiser Lin's evaluation reports?"
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes. "Of course. Did I write them?"
Han Dong was truly shocked in his heart.
Was this considered ignorant and incompetent?
Was this considered undeserving?
Was this considered a disgrace to the association?
If this was considered a disgrace, then what about the others?
The brain was a good thing. Sometimes, when one couldn't understand something, one could just fill in the blanks. Now, in Han Dong's mind, a peerless genius was being treated as an enemy, framed, slandered, and even deliberately belittled.
