CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52 APPRAISER

Big Gold Teeth’s Tavern

At the bar, a formally dressed woman was holding a notebook, asking Kane something.

"May I ask what level Mr. Kane is at?"

"Copper."

She immediately wrote it down. "Okay, thank you."

"Is this intelligent machine yours, Mr. Kane?"

"Yes."

After this simple Q&A session, the interview was over.

After rejecting her photo request, they bid farewell to Kane and left.

Burton watched Kane finish the interview and looked at his tavern, saying, "Looks like my tavern is about to have some good business."

At this moment, the tavern was once again left with only Kane and his group.

Seeing that his teammates were also idle, he suggested, "Let me appraise the equipment."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, everyone gathered around.

"You can appraise equipment?" Burton was a bit surprised.

Seeing that Kane’s teammates weren’t curious, he said, "I’m the last one to know."

Kane felt a bit smug, "Uh-huh."

Burton looked a bit frustrated and said, "The mist is really unfair."

He said the same thing as his brother. Truly a family.

Meizike directly took out the items obtained from yesterday’s chest, placing them on the bar.

Yesterday’s chest yielded six magical items.

Kane picked up the most obvious one, a piece of scale armor.

[Light Leather Armor]

[Scale Medium Armor]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes:]

[Armor Slightly Increased - Physical]

[Magic Resistance Slightly Increased - Elemental]

[Description: The King of the Forest, during its growth, evolved this scale armor to counter its natural enemies. Until it encountered a type of damage it had never experienced before - explosion.]

Looks like this is equipment for my own use, finally some magic armor.

He put the equipment on immediately. The scale armor came with a matte finish, didn’t reflect light, and enhanced his concealment.

He then picked up a cloak. This cloak was dark blue, and without careful inspection under sunlight, it would easily be mistaken for a black cloak.

Feeling its smooth texture, he examined it.

[Nightwalker]

[Leather Cloak]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Concealment Moderately Enhanced - Shadow]

[Description: The night panther excels at hiding, launching attacks from the shadows.]

No need to say more, it’s another piece for my own use.

The shadow here means in a dark place, without direct light sources.

Kane put on the cloak and ran to the corner of the tavern.

"How’s the concealment effect?"

Kreya and others, upon hearing this, carefully observed.

"The concealment effect is great. I have to look carefully to see clearly, and even my perception is dulled.

If I’m not on high alert, you could easily pass right by me."

Hearing Kreya’s evaluation, it seemed this equipment was among the top in the copper category.

With some excitement in his heart, he began to check the next item.

[Sword Tooth]

[Fine Stabbing Sword]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes:]

[Speed Slightly Increased - Stabbing]

[Skill: Tooth Bite] (Consumes magic power, making the next attack quick and piercing)

[Description: The forest king’s finishing move; countless enemies have perished under this strike.]

A tooth sword; from the description, it seems to be the tooth of the King of the Forest.

So who should this sword go to?

After explaining the sword’s effect, Kane placed the equipment in the center.

He looked at Kreya; she had priority in choosing this equipment.

She shook her head, "This sword doesn’t match my attack style, and it’s too short for me."

If she won’t use it, the dwarf definitely won’t want it either.

"This sword is too thin; it’s unsuitable for me."

So it could only go to Meizike. His melee weapon was just a regular short sword.

"Then you use it. It’s just right to replace your short sword."

Meizike didn’t hesitate; although he’s in a support role, having a good weapon for self-defense means he won’t be completely helpless if suddenly engaged in close combat.

After allocating it, Kane picked up a red orb. Without checking, he thought it was magic materials.

[Blood of Evolution]

[Consumable]

[Color: Copper]

[Effect: Grants a one-time evolutionary ability upon use] (Ineffective for intelligent creatures)

[Description: The key to the Forest King’s departure from an ordinary magic beast.]

This should be for pets or mounts, but no one in the team has either.

He asked each team member, and currently, none of them needed it.

So he decided to store it in the space equipment, to take out when needed.

The remaining two items were all magic materials.

[The Forest King’s Resentment]

[Magic Material]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Magic Stone Energy Moderately Increased]

[Description: Died falling into a trap, died failing to protect its kin, died without giving its all, such resentment.]

Do you think with such a description, I would feel ashamed? This is the wisdom of a hunter, got it?

The last one was a slight amount of magic material, and adding the two moderate amounts in hand.

The next skill stone was already beckoning, feeling instantly excited at this thought.

Burton observed Kane’s appraisal the whole time.

"Kane, is your appraisal a skill effect?"

In this world, appraisers mostly fall into two categories: one relies on extensive knowledge with a bit of alchemy techniques to appraise equipment.

The other directly uses appraising skills, and there’s no saying which is better.

The first type of appraiser is mostly in magic professions, requiring a lot of knowledge, usually undertaken only by experienced elders.

The strength of this type lies in stability.

The second type relies on appraisal skills, but these vary widely, and the information appraised may not always be complete.

The best, like Kane’s system appraisal, can even uncover origins and some hidden information.

The worst gives just the color and incomplete attributes, and nothing else is known.

That’s why Burton asked Kane, suspecting that Kane’s appraisal skill might be relatively advanced.

Just not sure if it can reveal some hidden information.

Seeing Burton thoughtfully finding an excuse for him, Kane gladly accepted, "Yeah."

"Can you help me look at this piece of equipment?"

After speaking, Burton took out a luxurious treasure box from the void and handed it to Kane.

Seeing how carefully he handled it showed it wasn’t a simple thing.

After Kane took it, he began to examine it.

Wow, even the box is a magical item.

[Secret Protection]

[Secret Box]

[Color: Silver]

[Attributes:]

[Advanced Physical Protection]

[Advanced Magic Protection]

[Skill: Opening Secret Language] (Set a spell; it needs to be silently recited in your heart to open it.)

[Description: Umbrella of secret protection, an extremely sturdy box. To forcibly remove it, you need a colorful grade ability to try.]

It’s a silver item. Without knowing the secret language, it also requires colorful strength.

Is what’s inside something that I should know? Will I be silenced?

Kane looked at Burton, imitating the shape of the secret language with his mouth.

Burton smiled, and a secret language of unknown origin appeared in Kane’s mind.

Silently reciting the secret language in his mind, he opened the box.

Inside lay a round amulet, adorned with ornate patterns and scattered diamonds, with a brilliant red gemstone embedded.

His teammates gathered around to admire it closely.

Kreya’s eyes sparkled, while Longbei’s eyes gleamed with gold.
