"Make sure to establish a good relationship with this master! At any cost!"
Zhao Meng roared inwardly, but outwardly she maintained a gentle demeanor, speaking softly,
"We will definitely help you deliver it, but there's a question I'm not sure if I should ask..."
"Feel free to ask."
Since the other party was willing to help him, Ye Bai didn't mind chatting a bit more.
After all, he knew well what to say and what not to say.
"You only charge this little money to help us appraise equipment, and you only accept gold coins..."
Zhao Meng carefully chose her words,
"Are you in some kind of trouble that requires urgent money?"
For high-level experts, gold coins are definitely not the top priority currency!
For example, university students can use credits to exchange for items within the school; Li Xiaoping's weapon was exchanged with credits, and if equipment of the same grade were placed in the Pavilion of All Things, Li Xiaoping couldn't afford it at all!
Credits are so precious that gold coins can't buy them!
The legion has merits, universities have credits, the Pavilion of All Things has VIP points, and even the Wolf's Den has its own exchange system.
Gold coins are almost the worst choice!
But why does this hidden expert, an appraisal master, insist on accepting gold coins?
Ye Bai smiled slightly and said slowly, "It's not a big deal, I have a special item that needs to remove a bloodline restriction, and I thought using gold coins would be more convenient and less likely to expose my identity."
The explanation was reasonable, and Zhao Meng nodded,
"I see, it was presumptuous of me to ask."
She really wanted to say, 'Let me help you pay to remove the restriction!' Even if it cost a million gold coins, as long as she explained the situation clearly when she returned to the Zhao family, she could get reimbursed!
However,
Experts have their own dignity, and doing so would be tantamount to insulting the other party!
So, it couldn't be done.
If Ye Bai knew Zhao Meng's inner thoughts, he would probably shout directly, "Insult me a few more times, I don't mind!"
That would be a million gold coins!
Dignity, what is that? Can it be exchanged for money, can it be eaten?
Zhao Meng could see that the money on the other side was probably not enough to remove the restriction, even with the 160,000 just now, it was still a bit short.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
"Since he's eager to remove the restriction, I must find a way to help!"
Zhao Meng was very clear that she had to show enough value, otherwise, she would miss out on this mysterious expert!
There was only one chance, and she had to seize it!
"Right!"
Zhao Meng's eyes lit up, and she said with a hint of excitement, "I know a forging master whose talent is a bit special; the buffs he adds to equipment are all temporary, including removing bloodline restrictions!"
"If we ask him to help, the price will be much cheaper, but it can only remove the bloodline restriction for a short period. What do you think..."
Zhao Meng's proposal was like a timely help to Ye Bai.
He was worried about not having enough money, and it would be best to use the Anti-Magic Disc in the afternoon's action; otherwise, the risk would be much greater!
"Alright, we can meet and talk. This special item is SS-level."
SS-level special item!
Zhao Meng's breath hitched again; everything the other party dealt with was extraordinary, far beyond Zhao Meng's imagination!
Having gained Ye Bai's approval, Zhao Meng hurried to contact the forging master and negotiate the price and conditions.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement, her heart surging with waves of emotion.
She had seized this opportunity!
Zhao Meng was very efficient; after contacting the forging master, she quickly returned and said,
"Master, the other party is asking for 200,000 gold coins, including one equipment appraisal.
Removing the bloodline restriction from the special item can last for 7 days, and after 7 days, he will do it again for free!"
200,000 gold coins, equivalent to emptying Ye Bai's entire savings.
In exchange for 14 days of use of the Anti-Magic Disc.
It seemed like a loss at first glance.
But for Ye Bai, it was like spending 200,000 to buy an insurance policy for his life!
With the Anti-Magic Disc, Ye Bai's chances of surviving in battle greatly increased, and most magic posed no threat to him.
Moreover, most of this money was earned by Ye Bai through appraising equipment.
It was as if Ye Bai hadn't really spent much, yet he easily gained 14 days of bloodline restriction removal.
This deal was worth it!
"No problem, as soon as possible, preferably within 8 minutes."
Ye Bai glanced at the time; there were 8 minutes left until class.
"Understood!"
Zhao Meng hurriedly contacted the other party, drafted the transaction contract, and completed everything at lightning speed to ensure it was done within 8 minutes!
The forging master happened to be available and came to the Trade Secret Realm.
He helped Ye Bai remove the bloodline restriction on the Anti-Magic Disc, and Ye Bai appraised equipment for him.
Both parties also signed a contract to keep all matters of this transaction confidential and not disclose any related information to outsiders!
7 minutes later, the contract was completed, and everything was settled.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
With that, Ye Bai logged off and left.
The forging master looked at the detailed equipment information and marveled, "This person's appraisal skills far surpass mine, and I consider myself a master in the forging field, yet I couldn't succeed in appraising."
"Xiao Meng, where did you find this master?"
"That's a secret, Uncle Qian, don't ask anymore!"
Zhao Meng flashed a bright smile, pulling Li Xiaoping's arm as they walked out.
"Xiaoping, you're my lucky star! My future prosperity depends on you!"
"Let's go, let's first head to the Extreme North Snowfield and deliver the bull's head to the senior!"
"......"
...
"Just made it."
Ye Bai rushed back to the classroom, entering just as the bell rang, narrowly avoiding being late.
"Big Bai, did you eat something bad?"
Zhao Lin whispered, "You were in the bathroom for 26 minutes and 17 seconds!"
"You're even timing me!"
Ye Bai was speechless; what kind of person does that?
"By the way, I didn't get a chance to ask earlier, did you go to Wind Thunder Valley yesterday?"
"Yeah, I did. Why?"
"Nothing, just asking. Here, something good for you!"
Zhao Lin sneakily handed over an item wrapped in oiled paper, speaking mysteriously.
"What is it?"
Ye Bai opened the oiled paper, and a fragrant aroma wafted out, revealing evenly sized strips of roasted beef in front of him.
[Perfectly cooked beef, Battle General level quality, guess who the unlucky guy is?]
No need to guess, Ye Bai already knew the answer.
"Bull Demon Battle General..."
"Big Bai, eating this for the first time can increase your strength attribute, and eating it regularly can boost constitution and heal you. It's good stuff!"
Zhao Lin briefly recounted last night's experience, marveling at the mysterious warrior's strength, though it was a pity he died at the hands of the BOSS.
Ye Bai: I became a warrior? And got killed by the BOSS? Wasn't it me who killed the BOSS, but the Eternal Rule?
How did things get so mixed up!
In any case, no one discovering that Ye Bai killed the BOSS was definitely a good thing for him.
As for the beef in his arms... Ye Bai found it hard to bring himself to eat it.
Storing the beef away, Ye Bai continued planning the afternoon's action.
With the Anti-Magic Disc in hand, along with the large number of potions and scrolls he had purchased earlier, Ye Bai's survival tactics were fully prepared.
"I'll just take a look, and if there's real danger, I can still escape in time!"
Ding ding ding—
The school bell rang, and Ye Bai was the first to leave the classroom.
Not being eager to leave school indicates a problem with one's mindset.
He slipped into a small grove, changed clothes, put on the mask transformed by the Lone Wolf Medal, and used a random teleport scroll to leave.
The series of actions was smooth and fluid.
Ye Bai's figure appeared in a small alley in the suburbs, his gaze fixed on an abandoned factory by the roadside.
The location was remote, sparsely populated, indeed a good hiding place!
Lian Zheng, son of the Fourth Demonic Sect's Cult Leader, a severely injured second-tier warrior, was hiding here!
"Good, no guards, no special arrangements..."
Ye Bai surveyed the area, confirming there was no danger nearby.
"Get a little closer, then decide the next step!"
