Lin Jin's nonchalance and the crowd's calmness formed a stark contrast to the screaming Wei Changyong and Wei Bi. Feeling the stares from the crowd, Wei Changyong's face paled and his mind went blank.
"What … what's going on?"
At the side, Wei Bi's eyes were also wide open, his face filled with disbelief.
"Brother, did someone switch the chicken? It was so ferocious that it could even peck a bear to death. Why isn't it reacting now?"
Both of them were dumbfounded.
Did the rooster have a change of heart?
Unconvinced, Wei Changyong warned, "Be careful. The rooster might not have realized what's going on yet. Once it does, blood will flow like a river. Hurry and lock the cage."
This time, even the crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What's wrong with Master Wei? Why is he so scared of a chicken? "
No one noticed the flash of a spirit seal on his palm as he caressed the rooster's head. No one noticed the flash of surprise in his eyes either.
However, it was only for a fleeting moment. In the next instant, he carried the rooster out of the cage, scaring Wei Changyong and Wei Bi so much that they shuddered. It was as if Lin Jin was carrying a ticking time bomb in his arms.
Lin Jin smiled and placed the chicken aside. The rooster stood obediently on the table, its sharp eyes fixed on Wei Changyong.
Lin Jin dipped his brush in ink. Swish swish swish.
Once he was done, Lin Jin stamped the report with his seal and placed it aside. He said, "Next."
Was the evaluation done?
That was too plain. However, Wei Changyong didn't dare to take the report because the rooster was right there.
He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
What was more infuriating was that this scammer was ignoring them, treating them like air.
Previously, they had the ambition to challenge the dojo and make a name for themselves. But now, they had died before they could succeed. Furthermore, they did not even know how they died.
"Brother, what do we do now?" Wei Bi asked softly.
Wei Changyong's mind was in a mess. Things weren't going according to his script so he was at a loss. Fortunately, he was a man of character so he calmed himself down and said, "It's fine. Let's stick to the plan. Go get the evaluation report. No matter what he writes, I'll say it's wrong."
Wei Bi didn't move.
Wei Changyong was displeased. "Why not?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Wei Bi told the truth. The beast evaluation report was right under the rooster's leg. Even if he was given a hundred guts, he would never go there.
"Trash!" Wei Changyong cursed. He gathered his courage and walked over, but just as he got close, the rooster flapped its wings and scared him back.
"What the hell!" Wei Changyong could clearly see the ferocity in the rooster's eyes. Without a doubt, this rooster was still the same beast, and hadn't been replaced. But why?
Why can that person touch it and hold it? Isn't it a ghost?
This time, the Wei brothers were in a dilemma. They wanted to go over, but they didn't dare, and they were unwilling to leave.
At the beginning, it was a huge event, but in the end, no one cared about it.
After appraising the last pet beast, Lin Jin got up and stretched his limbs. Zhao Ying, who was at the side, was making detailed records. After all, she had to make a record of the amount and the contents of the appraisal so that she could report back.
"Appraiser Lin, they're still here!" Zhao Ying said. Lin Jin waved his hand, indicating that it was fine. Zhao Ying could tell that the Wei brothers were here to cause trouble. In comparison, Appraiser Lin was more magnanimous.
"It's not dark yet. Let's go back to Maple City," Lin Jin said as he looked up at the sky. Zhao Ying nodded and quickly packed up.
Then, the two of them left.
"Brother, they're gone!" Wei Bi reminded.
"I'm not blind!" Wei Changyong was in a terrible mood. His plan to challenge Yang Wei had gone down the drain. He really didn't dare to go near that rooster. A few days ago, his own pet beast died under this very same rooster's beak, leaving him traumatized.
"Brother, the chicken's gone!" Wei Bi suddenly shouted. Startled, Wei Changyong looked up. Sure enough, the rooster was gone.
He had only been distracted for a split second.
"Did you see where it went?" Wei Changyong was panicking. He had spent a fortune on this rooster. Now that it was gone, it would be a huge loss. Wei Bi shook his head. He hadn't noticed it earlier.
The two of them hurried over and realized that not only was the rooster gone, but the evaluation report was also gone.
They were dumbfounded.
While the Wei brothers were flustered, Lin Jin and Zhao Ying were almost at Maple City.
The sky only turned dark after they entered the city.
After a busy day, Lin Jin sent Zhao Ying back to rest while he walked toward his home in this world.
It was a remote, run-down yard.
There was a house in the yard. It was obvious that Lin Jin's previous self lived a hard life.
There was only a wooden bed and a desk in the house. There were quite a few books on beast evaluation, but most of them were worn out.
"From now on, this will be my home." Lin Jin didn't mind. According to the rules, he could earn ten percent of the evaluation fee for this evaluation. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to buy some food.
Moreover, the Wei brothers had given him quite a lot of copper coins. One hundred and eighty coins. After keeping ten copper coins, Lin Jin pocketed the rest.
After eating the pellet concocted according to the museum's prescription, Xiao Huo was visibly more energetic.
Lin Jin knew that anything produced by the museum must be of high quality. Despite it being just a prescription, it was definitely effective. He checked on Xiao Huo's condition and noticed that his injuries had improved significantly.
Lin Jin carried the meat he bought along the way. He found some rice from the rice jar and steamed the meat.
He was hungry and Xiao Huo was even more famished.
While he was cooking, Lin Jin tossed a few pieces of meat to Xiao Huo. The latter was already willing to eat.
Just then, a silhouette stood on the wall of Lin Jin's yard.
Lin Jin glanced over and saw that it was the large rooster from Everlasting Town.
This chicken was unusual. Lin Jin knew it the moment he touched it. Moreover, he had used a Beast Deterrence Seal to subdue the beast. That was how he managed to subdue the beast.
If Wei Changyong knew about this, he would probably be frustrated.
What he didn't know was that this rooster was indeed a rare species.
"Prairie chicken, Rank 2 beast. Fire attribute. Potential rate: 5. Possesses a trace of the Golden Crow's bloodline!"
Based on the museum's introduction, this rooster was a powerful pet beast. It started off as a Rank 2 and that wasn't all. Its potential rate was even 5.
What did this mean?
If there were no accidents, this guy could level up at least five times in the future. Forget Everlasting Town, even in Maple City, pet beasts with such potential were few and far between.
Moreover, this was a fierce beast.
Wild beasts, fierce beasts, and fierce beasts all had their own unique characteristics.
Fierce beasts were unusual among pet beasts. They were harder to tame and form a blood pact with. Perhaps it was because of this that the Wei brothers didn't have the chance to form a blood pact with it.
But that wasn't the most impressive part. It was the inheritance of its bloodline.
The Golden Crow's bloodline!
The museum stated that the Golden Crow was an ancient divine bird, the embodiment of the sun god. Its attribute was of extreme Yang, and when its black feathers swept across, it would blaze like a sea of flames.
This bloodline was obviously incredible. Although it only had a trace of the Golden Crow's bloodline, its rarity far surpassed that of the rock lizard with the earth dragon's bloodline that Lin Jin had appraised.
There was no comparison at all.
Lin Jin wasn't stupid. He could tell that the Wei brothers were here to cause trouble. They were planning to use this rooster in a beast appraisal competition. However, Lin Jin didn't play by the rules. With a simple trick, he neutralized their scheme.
However, Lin Jin didn't expect the rooster to follow him all the way here.
Right now, he and the rooster were staring at each other.
"You want to follow me?" Lin Jin asked tentatively. The rooster leaped down from the wall and started eating Xiao Huo's dinner.
Xiao Huo let out a low growl. However, the rooster was at ease as if this was its home.
Lin Jin understood.
"Forget it. If you want to stay, then stay."
Although his yard wasn't big, it wouldn't be a problem to keep one more chicken. Moreover, it was such a special chicken.
"From now on, I'll call you Goldy!" After some thought, Lin Jin gave the rooster a name.
Goldy was named because of the golden feathers around the rooster's neck. It felt furry to the touch.
