“Any questions?”
Ji Yao Yao smiled, her eyes crinkling.
For some reason, she had a feeling that Chen Fan's appraisal skills would be quite good.
Although she herself found it somewhat unbelievable.
Soon, golden sheets of paper were distributed to every guest.
Chen Fan also received one.
Anyone could participate. If you wanted to appraise, simply go up to the platform to observe, and then write down your appraisal information.
Where there is great reward, there will be brave men.
The temptation of the Source Stones gave many people an unfounded boost of confidence.
The lively young men and women were eager to try.
“Everyone, please don't be in a rush. Please come forward in an orderly manner to make your appraisals.”
“Today's gathering is purely for entertainment, you can enjoy yourselves while appraising, and enjoy some good food and drink…”
Seeing everyone's eagerness, the old man smiled and spoke, his words carrying a gentle and pleasant demeanor.
Chen Fan naturally wouldn't be in a hurry. Since he had already decided to make his move, the Source Stone already belonged to him.
Thus, he slowly sipped his tea.
Allowing the warm energy to nourish his flesh and meridians.
He felt that he could drink this spiritual tea for a whole day.
Even a master like Gu Da Shi was attracted by the Source Stones.
Not every appraiser is a restoration master, but every restoration master is a top-level appraiser.
At their level, they wouldn't lack treasures.
However, Source Stones could still fill their hearts with vitality.
The unknown is always full of challenges and attraction.
If, by chance, a living being was found within the Source Stones, after subjugation, the creature could communicate and bring them into a new world, revealing new knowledge and texts.
The appraisal began, with the masters taking the lead, naturally.
Being masters, they could see more, so they looked more closely and took longer.
Strength and status were absolute priorities.
While the young people were eager to try, none dared to make a move before the extraordinary appraisers had finished their appraisals.
…
Finally, it was Ji Yao Yao's turn. She was almost the last of the extraordinary ones to step forward.
After a long time, Ji Yao Yao returned, somewhat dejected.
“How was it?”
Chen Fan curiously asked.
“I couldn't understand anything…”
Ji Yao Yao shook her head in defeat.
“You've been in charge of the auction house for a while now, right?”
“You should have some knowledge from being around it, right…?”
Chen Fan really found it strange. As the person in charge of the auction house, she should have at least some experience in appraisal, right?
“Some things, you really need to be born with a talent, otherwise you have to accept your fate.”
“Do you know why our family wanted to send someone to replace me?”
“It's because my ability to appraise treasures is too bad.”
“They always worry that I'll miss out on treasures or mistakenly sell ordinary things as precious ones…”
Ji Yao Yao was incredibly helpless.
“Don't you hire appraisers?”
“We really don't trust appraisers from outside, so why not just have someone from the family stationed here?”
Chen Fan was speechless.
“That makes sense, logically.”
“But when it comes to family infighting, that logic doesn't hold up.”
“Who wouldn't want a piece of the auction house's profits, after all.”
Ji Yao Yao chuckled, it seemed she had her own troubles.
“I can't understand…”
Chen Fan shook his head. In two lifetimes, he hadn't lived in a great family.
…
After what felt like an eternity, Chen Fan felt it was his turn to go up, so he walked towards the empty space where the treasure was placed.
Just then, the young man also walked up.
He was called a young man, but his skeletal age was at least eighteen or nineteen, it was just that he was slow to develop and looked childish.
“Greetings, Brother Chen Fan!”
To Chen Fan's surprise, the young man took the initiative to greet him, bowing slightly.
“Greetings, Young Master.”
You never turn down a kind offer. Chen Fan responded politely.
“Brother Chen Fan, how about we have a little competition, an extra round to add some excitement for everyone.”
The young man smiled and suggested.
“How do we compete?”
Chen Fan immediately understood. He had been thinking how the guy had been so uncomfortable with him before, how he'd changed and become so polite.
It was a poisoned chalice.
However, since someone was offering a gift, Chen Fan wouldn't mind accepting his kindness.
What ability could this kid have?
At most, he'd just be told the answers by the old man beside him.
But even the old man, or even the world's first person, would have to call Chen Fan 'Master' in terms of appraisal.
“The rules are simple. Ten treasures. We'll see who can provide appraisal information that's closer to the original information from the Wind Clan, the majority wins.”
“Old Man Wind will be the judge.”
The young man laid out the rules.
“Fair and reasonable!”
“What's the prize?”
Chen Fan asked.
“I'll wager two Dragon Qi Pills!!”
The young man opened his mouth, his words loud and confident.
“Dragon Qi Pills?”
…
Many extraordinary beings in the surroundings, their eyes shone with desire.
“I don't have a treasure as good as that…”
Chen Fan looked at Ji Yao Yao, seeking help, but found her frowning, shaking her head slightly.
Normal people could see that this was a trap set by the young man, he was confident of victory.
“The treasure box Gu Da Shi gave you just now will do!”
The young man said calmly.
“Are you sure?”
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
“Anything from Gu Da Shi's hands is bound to be extraordinary.”
The young man chuckled.
“Old Man Wind is the witness, everyone will see, the wager is made!”
Fearing that the young man would go back on his word, Chen Fan directly blocked his retreat.
“Big Brother, I'll be your witness for the wager, okay…”
At that moment, Feng Luo's voice, incredibly clear and sweet, rang out.
For a moment, many people twitched at the corners of their mouths.
“Hee hee, Big Brother, good luck…”
Luo'er's laughter echoed.
