Chapter 7, Rooster

"What do you see? This is just a rooster, just a bit bigger. But what use is a larger size? I have several at home, and they are not small either. This thing is only good for crowing; no one would keep a chicken as a pet, right?" someone scoffed.

Wei Changyong is not foolish; he knows they are talking about him. However, at this moment, he is filled with immense joy.

Wei Changyong anticipated that this swindler would not withstand the provocation and would surely agree

If one is a true beast appraiser, it is impossible not to recognize the extraordinary qualities of this chicken

Bang!

At this moment, Wei Changyong felt reassured.

"Damn it, you liar..." Beside him, Wei Bi stared wide-eyed, but before he could finish scolding, he was stopped by Wei Changyong, and Wei Bi immediately realized.

Wei Changyong took out a bag of money from his pocket, which was bulging and estimated to contain over a hundred copper coins, and directly slammed it onto the table

Wei Changyong let out a cold laugh and said, "I am Wei Changyong from Changping Town. May I ask how this esteemed appraiser is addressed?"

This caused Wei Changyong and Wei Bi to hurriedly step back, crying out in alarm as if they had thought of something terrifying, their faces turning somewhat pale

However, it was evident that both individuals were aware that it was too late, as Lin Jin's hand had already reached in

The pleasantries spoken are quite courteous, but upon reflection, it becomes clear that they are anything but polite; this is indeed a declaration of war.

Isn't this Master Wei? In Changping Town, Wei Changyong is somewhat of a celebrity, so his high-profile appearance immediately caught people's attention.

Wei Changyong was enraged

Why?

Run quickly, danger

This is not an ordinary chicken; you better open your eyes wide and take a good look before you speak. Moreover, do you think I have a problem with my mind, finding it ridiculous that I would put a chicken in an iron cage, or even that I am making a big deal out of nothing? That is because you have no idea how terrifying it is. There is a reason for this; it is too dangerous. This is not a joke; it is truly dangerous. Therefore, you better not attempt to open the iron cage, as that could lead to injury... That is because you have no idea how terrifying it is. There is a reason for this; it is too dangerous. This is not a joke; it is truly dangerous. Therefore, you better not attempt to open the iron cage, as that could lead to injury...

That is not necessarily the case. Did you not see that Master Wei is using a cage? Would an ordinary chicken be kept in such an iron cage? Perhaps this is indeed a rare and exotic species.

Everyone looked at the two brothers, Wei Changyong and Wei Bi, with expressions akin to those one would use to regard a fool

Shh, speak a little quieter. Master Wei holds grudges, and if he hears what you just said, be careful that he won't provide beast appraisal services for your family in the future

What is Master Wei trying to do? Although he can also appraise beasts, he is still not as good as a proper beast appraiser, is he?

"Do not let the beast pass, move aside, next!" Lin Jin did not even lift his head this time

The onlookers were eager for excitement, and even those who had originally left gathered around once more

Because he is already completely certain that this so-called beast appraiser is a fraud

What is the situation with this chicken? After someone saw it clearly, they were completely stunned

The two individuals have already decided to turn and flee

It is written above that the Red Leaf City Beast Appraisal Association conducts beast appraisal in the countryside, charging ten wen per appraisal

The scene was completely quiet

They had previously witnessed how ferocious and violent this chicken was, having once pecked a wolf to death. The scene was something they would never forget in their lifetime. Only this iron cage could contain it, and it had to be covered with a black cloth; otherwise, the sound of it striking the iron cage would be loud enough to deafen them.

I actually got looked down upon by a scammer, ten wen. Am I really someone who can't afford ten wen? The cup of tea I drink is worth more than this price.

Everyone expressed their opinions, but it was evident that both Wei Changyong and Wei Bi were quite "apprehensive" about the chickens in the cage

After speaking, Lin Jin turned to Zhao Ying beside him and said, "Previously, you mentioned that there are people who will go to great lengths to evade paying the fare, not wanting to spend even ten wen. I thought you were just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect there are indeed such people."

At that time, this swindler will be like a mute eating bitter herbs, absolutely daring not to speak out. Perhaps they might even extort a sum from it. No matter how you think about it, it is a guaranteed profit.

If you do not wish to identify the beast, please step aside quickly. To identify the beast, you must first pay 10 wen.

This is a matter of life and death

At present, it is said: "This chicken, please appraise it for me."

It must be said that this method of response is quite satisfying, just by looking at the furious expressions of those two individuals, one can tell.

They are here to gain prestige and cannot expose each other

Zhao Ying, as a trainee beast appraiser, despite being a woman, possesses a certain vigor. Beside her, Zhao Ying's blood contract beast, the pangolin, also stands guard.

These should be enough, right? However, let me be blunt from the outset. I traveled a long way and paid for this. If you authenticate it correctly, there will be no issues. But if you authenticate it incorrectly, I will ruin your business.

Lin raised his head to take a glance, then turned to Zhao Ying and said, "Generally, how do you handle individuals who seem to have mental issues?"

After speaking, he made a gesture, and Wei Bi immediately stepped forward, carrying the large cage and placing it on the table

His hand is ruined; perhaps he won't even be able to save his life

In this remote and impoverished area, the locals typically seek the expertise of local masters for beast appraisal, among whom Wei Changyong is one of the most distinguished.

However, upon further reflection, it became clear that Master Lin was intentionally trying to annoy these two individuals

Although he had never met the esteemed President Wang, he knew that the other party was over forty years old. However, the person before him was merely in his early twenties, so it was impossible for him to be President Wang. Moreover, a person of President Wang's lofty status had never even set foot in Changping Town.

This cage is quite heavy, made of iron, and appears to be very sturdy. It is covered with a layer of black cloth. Wei Changyong unties the black cloth, revealing a large rooster inside the cage

Therefore, the person before me must be a fake, a fraud

Lin was too lazy to speak. The other party clearly came looking for trouble, so he decided to observe what they would do first. Over there, Zhao Ying had already stepped forward: "If you are not here to inspect the beasts, please step aside and do not disturb the order."

Lin sighed and said, "Isn't this just a rooster? Fine, if you want to authenticate it, I will help you with the authentication. Then open the cage."

With hundreds of beast pets, even a true Tier 2 Beast Appraiser could not possibly complete the identification so quickly. Among all of Red Leaf City, the only Tier 2 Beast Appraiser that Wei Changyong knew of was Wang Ji, the president of the Beast Appraisers Association.

Wei Changyong glanced at Zhao Ying, and his eyes immediately brightened. He thought to himself that this girl was beautiful, with a graceful figure, delicate features, and especially her skin, which was flawless and smooth. What a stunning beauty she was, far superior to the ordinary women in his courtyard. However, it was a pity that such a beauty was mixed up with this fraudster.

You are crazy, don't!

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Changyong was left dumbfounded as he watched the other party open the iron cage and reach inside.

However, an even more shocking and unbelievable event occurred for the two individuals. In their eyes, the fierce and violent rooster did not attack; not only did it refrain from aggression, but it also displayed remarkable submissiveness, allowing the other person to touch its comb.

Zhao Ying cast a glance at Lin Jinyi, secretly thinking that this person was clearly here to pick a fight and challenge them, how could you not see that

He spoke of the clouds drifting lightly and the breeze blowing gently, while Wei Changyong on the other side was secretly laughing coldly in his heart

The two exchanged a glance, both confirming this point

If it were a beast appraiser from the Beast Appraisers Association, he would truly not dare to act recklessly. However, if it were a fraudster, he would not be afraid. The other party impersonates a member of the Beast Appraisers Association to deceive; instead of exposing them, he simply plays along, forcing the other party to compete publicly, and then outshines them, seizing the opportunity to gain prestige.

Even the honorifics have been omitted

Zhao Ying could not help but let out a chuckle

Without further ado, I, Wei, have had a fondness for beast appraisal since childhood. I have diligently studied and practiced, and while I have not achieved great accomplishments in beast appraisal, I do consider myself somewhat capable. Today, upon hearing that a tier-one beast appraiser from the Beast Appraisers Association has arrived, I could not contain my eagerness and thus dared to seek guidance. I wonder if this esteemed appraiser would be willing to offer some pointers.

Wei Changyong was taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so composed, and shook his head

Confidently, Wei Changyong, accompanied by his cousin Wei Bi, began their challenge performance.

Such a dangerous thing, that ignorant swindler actually opened the cage directly

Looking at Wei Changyong, who appeared to be looking for trouble, Lin Jin did not rise but spoke calmly, "Are you here to appraise the beast?"
