With three pet beasts against one, anyone with a discerning eye would know that the former would definitely have the upper hand.
Of course, the deciding factor wasn't the quantity but the quality of the pet beasts.
After the third round of auction ended, Zu Tianli couldn't wait any longer so he brought the three pet beasts he bought to Lin Jin and the others for a competition.
"Big Brother, I'll cut to the chase. Master Liao has appraised these three pet beasts in detail. Here are the evaluation reports. Take a look."
Zu Tianli was gleeful, thinking that victory was within his grasp.
Suddenly, Lin Jin took a step forward and said, "Lord Zu, there's no need to read them."
Zu Tianhong was stunned, confused.
Master Liao scoffed. "How would you know the quality of a pet beast if you don't read the evaluation reports? Young man, at this point, don't tell me you still think that the pet beast you picked is superior?"
Lin Jin smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. "That's right!"
"What a joke!"
"Preposterous!"
Master Liao and Zu Tianli exclaimed in unison.
Master Liao, in particular, was thoroughly enraged as he said, "You ignorant brat, I've tolerated you for far too long. You don't even know what the three pet beasts I've chosen are like, yet you dare to spout nonsense and claim that you've won? Do you take everyone here for fools?" Master Liao was enraged by Lin Fan's words.
Even if Zu Tianhong and Zu Can had absolute trust in Lin Jin, if they didn't compete, how could they prove who picked the better pet beast?
Hence, both of them turned to Lin Jin in astonishment.
Lin Jin suddenly said, "Rank 1 horned lion, rare beast, fire attribute …"
The crowd was stunned.
What was he talking about?
After listening carefully, they realized that Lin Jin was referring to the horned lion that Zu Tianli and Master Liao had just spent five thousand low-grade spirit stones to purchase.
Moreover, Lin Jin's description was extremely detailed. Many experts here were dumbfounded by Lin Jin's evaluation results and nodded profusely.
Master Liao, in particular, looked disdainful at first, but as he listened on, his expression began to stiffen. In the end, his face paled and his mind was in turmoil.
Because Lin Jin's results were much more detailed than what he could appraise on his own.
He subconsciously retracted his hand that was holding the evaluation report. He now knew why Lin Jin didn't allow Zu Tianhong to read his evaluation report. Truth be told, Lin Jin was giving him face. If Zu Tianhong were to read his evaluation report first and then listen to Lin Jin's evaluation, even a fool would be able to tell that Zu Tianhong's standards paled in comparison.
He did not dare to take out the evaluation report now.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin was still talking.
It could be said that this pet beast had been thoroughly dissected, including various details, flaws, and of course, the horned lion's merits. His evaluation was fair and just. Even if Master Liao wanted to find fault with him, he wouldn't be able to.
Because the other party's level was too high, it would have been better if he hadn't opened his mouth. The moment he opened his mouth, not only did he fail to nitpick, but he also exposed himself.
Therefore, Master Liao's mouth was wide open. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
Because he did not dare to say it.
It was like a student trying to find fault with an old teacher's teachings.
After Lin Jin was done talking about the first pet beast, he didn't stop there. Instead, he went on to talk about the second.
"The other pet beast, the bloodthirsty wolf, is slightly inferior to the horned lion. Speaking of which, while the horned lion is decent, five thousand low-grade spirit stones is still a little too expensive …"
Lin Jin had thoroughly analyzed the second pet beast. By then, Master Liao had already hidden the evaluation report in his hand behind his back.
Upon closer inspection, Master Liao's fingers were trembling violently.
After talking about the second pet beast, Lin Jin went on to the third without pausing.
By now, even Zu Tianli could sense that something was amiss.
Why did it feel like Lin Jin had figured out all three of the pet beasts he had bought?
The frustrated Zu Tianli interrupted Lin Jin and said, "Lin, why are you saying all this? We're competing to see who has a higher quality pet beast, not for you to spout nonsense."
Zu Tianli was clearly a layman, especially when it came to beast appraising. His ignorance was adorable.
Lin Jin stared at him and smiled. "Although the competition between me and Old Mister Liao is to see who has a better pet beast, in essence, it's still a competition of discernment and beast appraising skills."
Zu Tianli still hadn't figured out the situation. He waved his hand impatiently. "I don't understand what you're saying. All I know is that the snake you picked has a tumor on its body. It can't compare to Master Liao's three pet beasts."
Lin Jin shook his head. "Who said it's a tumor?"
Zu Tianli was stunned. "Isn't that written in the evaluation report the Friar Association produced?"
This time, Lin Jin didn't say anything. Instead, a buyer who couldn't bear to watch any longer spoke up, "Mr. Zu, that evaluation report is only a reference. The person who wrote it might not even know how to appraise beasts. Otherwise, why would so many buyers bring their own beast appraisers here? Let's just do as you said and buy it according to the evaluation report. "
The crowd burst into laughter.
Zu Tianli was infuriated. Anyone would be enraged after being mocked in public.
Indeed, he didn't know how to appraise beasts and he had been a little anxious earlier. Taking a deep breath, Zu Tianli calmed down and went straight to the point.
"Then tell me, if it's not a tumor, what is it?"
Lin Jin didn't continue mocking him. Instead, he walked over to the snake's cage and reached out to open it.
"Watch out!"
The people from the Friar Association jumped in fright at this sight. They immediately rushed over but it was too late.
The moment the cage was opened, the anaconda inside immediately opened its eyes and began to stir.
The Friar Association members were on high alert. Although this anaconda had a tumor on its body, it was extremely ferocious. Previously, it took them a lot of effort to capture it. They even had to rely on traps and knockout agents before they managed to capture it.
However, even though they managed to capture it, the anaconda was difficult to tame. Some of them were even injured by it due to carelessness.
When Lin Jin recklessly opened the cage, some of them shut their eyes, certain that Lin Jin would be devoured by the anaconda. Given the anaconda's size, it wouldn't be difficult for it to swallow a human whole.
However, that bloody scene didn't happen. The anaconda did move, but it moved closer to Lin Jin and placed its large head on Lin Jin's palm.
This was the pet beast's submission.
Everyone present was astonished. Several members of the Friar Association were even more dumbfounded and speechless.
What the hell?
Lin Jin looked at the anaconda with admiration as if he was looking at an exquisite piece of art or a priceless treasure.
"It's a pity that I'm here to help the Zu family choose a pet beast. Otherwise, I would've bought you," Lin Jin said in a low voice.
Lin Jin suddenly whispered.
However, he soon realized that it was impossible because he couldn't afford three thousand low-grade spirit stones right now.
With a flick of the needle in his hand, the coiled wire needle pierced several acupoints on the anaconda's body. Then, Lin Jin condensed his spirit energy into a finger and sliced open the anaconda's tumor.
In an instant, a foul stench flowed out. What happened next left everyone dumbfounded.
From the tumor, a snake's head popped out.
