Chapter 34: Selling Beast Materials, “Good Brother” Gu Wan’er
Although Lin Sen did not understand the value of beast materials in this life, the accumulated experience of two lifetimes told him that under certain circumstances, doing less and saying less would have a magical effect.
Therefore, he was very straightforward.
He unzipped his backpack that weighed about a hundred catties and tossed it on the appraisal table.
“I’m in a hurry. Come on.”
The shop assistant took a rough glance at the backpack. She felt that she did not recognize many of the beast materials and the smile on her face became even more sincere.
“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll get the boss to estimate the value of the goods for you!”
Three minutes later.
A sleepy-looking middle-aged man who seemed to have just been roused from his sleep walked into the shop through the back door.
The moment the man saw Lin Sen, he lowered his eyes in disappointment. There was even some disdain in his gaze. He turned around and reprimanded the shop assistant unhappily.
“How many days have I been teaching you? Why is it that you still can’t recognize some of these ridiculously cheap good? That you need us to personally appraise them?”
In the middle-aged man’s opinion,
Lin Sen was a young professional. Firstly, he didn’t have expensive armor and equipment, and secondly, he didn’t have any extraordinary weapons or scars. No matter how one looked at him, he was just a greenhorn.
With such a person,
how precious could the materials be?
It was not because the boss was too mean. In fact, in a medium-sized trading shop like his, the people who came here were also mediocre professionals.
In order to free himself from the complicated mundane tasks, he hired a shop assistant to appraise some low-value materials on his behalf.
This way, he wouldn’t often be held back by small professionals like this one in front of him. Other than being good-looking, their strength and goods were equally cheap.
But.
Even though he was displeased, the business spirit still made the boss push open the door resentfully and host Lin Sen.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, sir.
“I’m the owner of this shop, Hong Fuwan. If you wish, just call me Old Hong or Boss Hong!”
“May I ask where the goods you’re selling are?”
Lin Sen’s sharp senses had long since brought to his attention the disdainful comments that the boss had made at the back.
But he didn’t want to interfere.
He had to quickly sell the items and go home to show his sister that he was safe.
He was too lazy to care about the minor details.
Lin Sen raised his eyes and glanced at the appraisal table. He adhered to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes and only said,
“There. Check them yourselves.”
Hey!
The boss was a little angry.
I’m just being polite, and you’re already so arrogant.
As a big businessman, I’m personally appraising a bunch of “trash” for you. Instead of feeling flattered and honored,
you’re ignoring me?
The boss was filled with resentment. He didn’t waste any time and cupped his hands at Lin Sen as if he was venting his anger. He quickly walked to the appraisal table.
He made up his mind.
If they really turned out to be a pile of common low-level beast materials with even those from ordinary wild dogs and wild cats mixed within, he would definitely ridicule Lin Sen for a while.
However, just as the boss took a glance at the ferocious beast materials that were poured out of the backpack, his eyes behind the pair of presbyopic glasses immediately widened.
“This is… this is from a Bronze-grade beast, the fangs of a Red-Toothed Wolf, and a complete piece of wolf skin?”
“Am I seeing things? These are the manes and lion hearts of the Silver-grade beast, the Green-Eyed Blood Lion!?”
“Silver-grade Blue-tailed Venomous Python’s gallbladder, poison gland, and claws of a Silver-grade Giant Pangolin… Oh my gosh?”
“I’m afraid this can only be hunted by a perfect top team made of consisting of Silver-grade professionals, right?”
“Are these really… the gains from your own hunting?”
The boss turned around with a shocked expression and looked at Lin Sen in disbelief.
“…I seized them from someone else, will that do?”
Lin Sen’s expression was equally ugly.
In order not to cause too much of a commotion, he had already put away many precious materials. He did not expect to still be suspected.
Shall I sell them to Wang Yanran next time?
There should be companies specializing in collecting beast materials under her family’s corporation, right?
“Haha, you’re good at joking…”
The corner of the boss’s mouth twitched.
If he had really seized these, it would probably be even more terrifying, right?
How strong would one be to be able to seize the spoils of war from a team of top Silver-grade combat professionals?!
Is he really a Gold grade professional?
Or the disciple of a Gold grade figure who was sent out to “travel and gain experience”?
His heart skipped a beat.
The boss quickly lowered his originally high and mighty eyebrows and a fawning smile appeared on his face. His entire aura became respectful and pleasing.
“Thank you for selling such precious goods to my shop. Don’t worry, I, Old Hong, will not let you make a loss even if I have to make a loss myself.”
He respectfully brought over a chair.
“Please sit down. I will immediately appraise the value of these beast materials for you!”
“Xiaoya!”
He waved his hand.
“Hurry up and serve the guest tea. Use my bag of tea leaves that’s placed in the deepest part of the tea cabinet!”
Lin Sen saw the boss’s smooth change in expression and found it funny. He didn’t stand on ceremony with him and sat on the chair. He took the “top quality tea” brewed by the shop assistant and waited for the boss to appraise the materials.
It would take a long time to identify the materials.
Since Lin Sen was bored, he took out the micro-end that he had placed in the farm’s warehouse as soon as he entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
He connected to the Safe Zone’s signal base station, and countless messages occupied the entire screen.
Lin Sen patiently checked them one by one.
In addition to the messages sent by his sister every day asking when he would be coming home, there were also some class groups, level groups, and school groups chatting enthusiastically.
The contents naturally surrounded the assessment in two days.
After all, this concerned the future of one’s life. No one could ignore it.
Apart from that, his deskmate for three years, the owner of the hidden profession [Silver Pope], Gu Wan’er, and the eldest daughter of the Wang Corporation, Wang Yanran, had also sent him messages.
Lin Sen looked at them briefly.
Due to her hidden profession, Gu Wan’er had already been admitted without examination to a school regarded as the highest academic institution in Xia country.
She was also receiving special guidance from a Gold grade professional in school.
The reason why she sent a message to Lin Sen was because she had been accepted into her academy. She had also been given another admission without examination slot and asked if Lin Sen was willing to go with her.
“Good brother!”
Lin Sen was a little touched and sent this message.
However, given his current strength, he could legitimately get into all the academies in the Xia Country. Therefore, he could only thank Gu Wan’er for her kind intentions.
Wang Yanran’s message was a photo of a young girl’s pink room.
There was a line of small words below–
“I’ve been grounded for two days, I’m going to die _(:???)_”
“…”
Lin Sen replied with an ellipsis.
It was time this naughty child was disciplined.
“Customer, I’ve finished appraising your goods!”
The boss said obsequiously.
“A total of 4.85 million Xia dollars. I’ll round it up, 5 million Xia dollars!”
