Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

"It's always been like this."

Fiona covered her face and sighed, then glanced down at the stone spheres displayed at Old Odi's stall. Confirming that this fellow was indeed the stall owner Delina had mentioned, she sighed again.

"Damn it, how could it be this old bastard?"

"You're here to buy something, right?"

Old Odie calmly watched Fiona and Lynn, then got up, picked up his own bag, and took out a price tag.

Lynn watched as old Odi picked through the price tags, finally selecting those priced at 10 each, then flicking his wrist to stick them one by one in front of the stone sphere on his stall.

"Premium 'Midea Longshi Nao' tea, now only 10 yuan off!"

"Choose your own, once you've made your purchase, it's final and the price is fixed!"

Upon hearing this, Fiona immediately flew into a rage:

"Damn, you're selling it for double the price?!"

"Don't Midea Dragon Stone usually cost 50,000 or at most 60,000 yuan?!"

Old Oddi then tapped his ear with his little finger and said with a smile:

"You said it yourself, it's usually like this~"

"Today isn't a regular day, so the prices are naturally different."

"Besides, this is a top-quality stone brain. If you open it up, there's a chance you'll find brain marrow inside!"

"If you manage to extract brain marrow, you could easily sell it for over 300,000 yuan. If you calculate it that way, I'd actually be losing money!!"

Old Oddi glanced at Lynn as he spoke, and said with a chuckle:

"Hey buddy, don't you think so?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn pondered for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth and said:

That makes sense.

Fiona then turned her head and stared blankly at Lynn: "Wait a minute, Lynn, why are you standing over there?"

"I stand on the side of fairness."

Lynn said it casually, then turned his gaze to old Oddi:

"Boss, you mean, this stone brain of yours can be extracted from the brain marrow of a dragon, right?"

"I can only say, most likely," old Oddi said shrewdly, "it depends on your luck."

"Some people are lucky, some people are unlucky, who can say for sure?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn smiled:

"What a coincidence, I'm one of those lucky people!"

Old Oddi laughed then:

"Then go ahead and buy it. By card or cash? By the way, I only accept checks from the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce."

“Just swipe your card!” Lynn took out his gold card, held it in his hand, and handed it to old O’Di.

Seeing that Lynn had fallen for the trick, old Oddi eagerly reached for the card, his eyes gleaming as he said:

How many do you want to buy?

Lynn's lips curled up as he said:

"I've never liked multiple-choice questions!"

"So, I want them all!"

Chapter 54 Shh! Is reconciliation still possible?

Hearing Lynn say "I want them all," Fiona immediately pulled him aside:

"Are you crazy?"

Fiona leaned closer and asked in a low voice:

"You have that much money in your account?"

Lynn thought for a moment and said, "There is still a loan amount available."

Upon hearing Lynn mention the loan amount, Fiona immediately became anxious and rushed forward to Old Man Oddi, saying:

"He just had a brain fart; we don't need this."

Old Ody was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly pressed the gold card to the holy mark on his forehead. After confirming that the card could lend out 200 million fiat currency, his eyes lit up like light bulbs:

"Oh dear, the deal was made by accident!"

"I'll pack up your goods right away!"

Seeing that old Oddi was holding onto the card and about to pack it up for Lynn, Fiona became even more anxious:

"Wait, didn't I say I wasn't going to buy it?"

Just as Fiona was getting anxious, Lynn did indeed stop old Oddi:

"Wait, no need to pack it up, I'll just open it now."

As Lynn spoke, he squatted down and began to examine the 20 stone spheres in front of him, using his Appraisal skill as he did so.

The next second, the skill system gave a notification: [Appraisal Skill ↑].

Midea Dragon is a type of sub-dragon that is abundant in the 15th level of the dungeon.

Living in magma areas, their bodies decompose rapidly after death, with only the area around their heads petrifying directly.

The petrified head, known as the Stone Brain of the Beautiful Dragon, is a famous fire-attribute material widely used in alchemy and medicine making.

As expected, Lynn's Level 1 Appraisal skill identified these materials, which resembled instruction manuals.

Seeing this, Lynn was not surprised, after all, with such a low level of appraisal skill, it was normal for this to happen.

However, the old man, Audie, who was stopped from packing up, had a strange expression on his face:

"Are you doing an appraisal?"

"Hey buddy, your appraisal skill... is pretty high level!!"

Lynn looked up at old Oddi upon hearing this:

"What? You look down on Level 1 Appraisal?"

"Level 1?" Old Odi was a little confused. "I saw you standing there making appraisals from a distance, and I thought it was some kind of super high-level appraisal skill, like Eye of Analysis or something... but you're telling me it's level 1?"

Old Odie originally thought that Lynn's decisive and quick purchase, and his confidence in visually appraising the item from a distance, was due to the fact that his appraisal skills were of a very high level.

Therefore, even though he had just noticed the fluctuations that only low-level appraisal techniques could produce, he thought he was hallucinating.

After all, how could such a generous guest use a level 1 appraisal skill to appraise the stone brain of the Earth Dragon?

He must have misread it.

So it turns out Lynn really does have Level 1 Appraisal Skill?

At this point, old Oddi couldn't hold back any longer and handed over the card:

"Unlock the card with the stigmata first."

Upon hearing this, Lynn took the gold card, unlocked the two million credit limit with the stigma on the back of his hand, and then handed it over.

After receiving the card, Old Odie instantly swiped the money in it, then threw the card back at Lynn, glaring at him and saying:

"Kid, the stuff is yours!"

"But you need to understand, that's not how you use appraisal skills."

"Before your Appraisal skill reaches level 30 and upgrades to 'Eye of Analysis,' you need to practice Appraisal firsthand!"

As Old Ody spoke, he casually picked up the stone brain and, as if slapping a watermelon, began to thump it while saying to Lynn:

"For things like the brain matter from Midea Dragon, you have to take a picture first and listen to the sound to see if it's muffled and how muffled it is. Only then can you determine how much brain matter is inside."

"First take a picture, listen to the sound, and then smell it. You can judge how long ago the stone brain was produced by the smell it has on it."

"Normally, in a piece of stone weighing about 16 kilograms, after removing the outer stone shell, there is about 1 kilogram of usable stone inside."

"This stuff, you can find it for 5 yuan per kilogram at any medicinal herb buyer in Yanshi Town."

“If there is brain marrow, under normal circumstances, a portion of stone brain contains about 100 grams of brain marrow, which is very expensive. One gram costs three thousand legal tender, and if you can get one portion, it costs three hundred thousand legal tender.”

"Take a picture first, then smell it, then open it. This is the normal identification process for the Midea Dragon Stone Brain. If you just stand by and use your identification technique to look at it, that's just flipping through brain data, not identification at all!"

Hearing what old Audi said, Lynn blinked and said:

"You've actually started teaching me?"

"That's because you're too stupid." Old Oddi chuckled. "Guess if I've ever examined this batch of brainstones?"

Seeing this, Lynn glanced at old Odi, remembered the appraisal process he had described, then lowered his head, first patted the stone brain, then smelled it, and then picked up another one, repeating the same process.

Seeing that Lynn had taken his teachings to heart, old Odi was first pleased, then grinned, looking pleased with his wicked sense of humor.

Fiona looked at Old Odi's smug expression after tricking him, but her eyes were like she was looking at a fool.

By this time, Lynn had already touched all 20 stone brains on the stall.

Then, without making a sound, he picked up a stone brain that made his body feel warm after being touched and said:

"Let's start with this one. Do you have the tools?"

"Have!"

Old Oedipus, quite tactfully, pulled a parchment scroll from beside the stall and tossed it to Lynn:

"The skill scroll inscribed with the Disintegration Technique can still be used 21 times, so I won't charge you."

Upon hearing this, Lynn silently took the scroll, opened a corner to confirm that it was usable, then picked up the scroll and covered the stone brain with it.

Suddenly, a hissing sound, like a hairdryer being turned on, rang out.

Soon, the stone brain was unlocked, and Lynn moved the scroll aside, revealing the milky white jelly inside.

Old Odi, seeing this, leaned over and stared intently. He was stunned to discover that inside the stone brain, amidst the milky-white jelly, there was also a portion of black gelatinous substance.

"Petrified brain matter?"

"Holy crap, it's the highest quality black one?"

"That must be over 400,000?!"

At this moment, Lynn handed the petrified brain marrow he had extracted to Fiona, and smiled at old Ody, saying:

"Looks like I'm in good luck."

Old Oddi's eyes darted around, but he smiled and said to Lynn:

"Young man, could you help me with some promotion later? You might not know, but I still have a lot of this quality of brain-derived stones~"

"I definitely won't let you suffer a loss!"

"I'll give you 50,000 yuan for the advertising fee later, no, 100,000 yuan!!"

“I’m not at a disadvantage anymore,” Lynn said, opening another packet of brain-penetrating material.

Upon seeing that same black gelatinous substance, old Oddi couldn't help but rub his eyes:

"No, young man, your luck is just too good!"

Luck?

Lynn picked up another stone brain and unlocked it in the same way.

Old Oddi was stunned.

He stared blankly at the stone brain in front of him, his left eye wide open like a longan, while his right eye was ridiculously small, like a melon seed. He couldn't understand how his eyes could be so extreme.

"By the God of Craftsmen!"

"I fucking..."

Old Ordine was getting a little anxious:
