Fortunately, I have activated SSS level talent

After receiving the mission, Kai lingered in the Wolf's Nest for a while longer and was forced to log out only when the Tower of Eternity closed for the day.

Returning to his home, Kai looked at the slightly brightening sky outside the window and began to calculate the gains from this trip.

"The pre - set goals have all been achieved, and the first - order warrior test has also been passed."

In Kai's palm, the Lone Wolf Medal lay quietly, like a fierce beast waiting to pounce in the shadows.

"The biggest gain is still the [Forbidden Magic Talisman], but unfortunately, the bloodline restriction is too harsh."

Thinking of this, Kai took out the Trading Secret Realm Pass and actively contacted Goblin Little Bro.

The other party replied almost instantly.

"Fourth brother, you want to lift the bloodline restriction on the special item. This thing is a bit tricky. Generally, we suggest handing it over to the [HADC] in exchange for corresponding rewards."

Afraid that Kai would misunderstand, Goblin Little Bro. quickly explained.

"Most cases like what Fourth brother you mentioned occur with the trophies from the Abyss Plane. It's very common! The demons in the Abyss Plane aren't stupid either. The special items they use in battles will all have a layer of bloodline restriction. In this way, even if we capture the special items, they're rather useless in our hands!"

Listening to Goblin Little Bro.'s explanation, Kai nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the Forbidden Magic Talisman was in exactly the same situation.

Goblin Little Bro. continued.

"Of course, after dealing with this for so many years, we have ways to break it. We can invite a high - level powerhouse to make a move and break the item's restriction. I'll send you the corresponding price list."

Soon, Kai received a price list.

"Below grade A, 100,000 gold coins for a single unlocking?!"

"For an SS - grade special item, it requires 1.2 million gold coins for a single unlocking. He might as well go rob people!"

1.2 million gold coins completely dispelled Kai's idea of lifting the restriction.

Even if Kai were to sell himself now, he couldn't gather 1.2 million gold coins!

"This price is a bit exaggerated, but it's already an internal preferential price."

Goblin Little Bro. anticipated Kai's reaction and continued.

"If Fourth brother you have acquaintances in the Lone Wolf, you can post a mission in the Wolf's Nest. The cost there will be a bit lower."

The Wolf's Nest?

Kai calculated that it would cost 1.2 million gold coins at the [Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth], and he only had 50,000 gold coins at hand. The gap was simply too large.

Even if the lone wolves in the Wolf's Nest were willing to offer a discounted price, it wouldn't be less than 1 million gold coins!

Where was Kai going to get 1 million gold coins?

Should he really hand the Forbidden Magic Talisman over to the HADC?

Kai knew in his heart that the HADC had always been fair. If he handed over the Forbidden Magic Talisman, the rewards he received wouldn't be less than a million gold coins!

However, the effect of the Forbidden Magic Talisman was far more valuable than that!

If there was any feasible method, Kai wouldn't choose to hand it over.

Goblin Little Bro. sent another message.

"There's another way, but it has some risks and side - effects. You can use a specially made potion to temporarily transform and possess the demon bloodline, and then you can use the special item. However, these potions are controlled substances, and their use is strictly regulated. Even at the [Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth], you need to register your real name to purchase them! Moreover, after using it, you must clean your bloodline as soon as possible to prevent your human bloodline from being contaminated and eventually completely demonized."

Looking at the long string of words, Kai frowned. These side - effects were too great, weren't they?

For the sake of using the Forbidden Magic Talisman, forcefully transform into a minotaur?

Hiss -

The picture was too "beautiful" for Kai to imagine.

"No minotaur, no minotaur."

The pure - hearted Kai rejected this last option.

What's more, it required real - name purchase, which was something Kai would never do.

"Sigh, it's so frustrating. Such a good thing can only be looked at but not used. This feeling..."

Helpless, Kai could only tidy up and go to school.

Kai couldn't forget about the Forbidden Magic Talisman.

1 million gold coins... Undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Could Maxwell Johnson, the son of the fourth leader of the Demon Sect, bring him 1 million gold coins?

Thinking of this, Kai wrote Maxwell Johnson's name on a piece of paper. Through the name, he could find out some information about the other party.

"He's still in Aurora City, and there are still no guards around him."

Kai planned that after school in the afternoon, he would sneak near the place where Maxwell Johnson was hiding and observe him up close.

If there was a chance to capture him directly, Kai would not hesitate to take action.

If the target was difficult to deal with, after gathering enough information, Kai would turn around and report him, sending Maxwell Johnson a "deadly reporting package."

"This operation is still a bit dangerous. I need to make more preparations."

Kai was very clear - headed. Everything should be planned before taking action. Only by considering things more comprehensively could the plan go smoothly and ensure his own safety as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Kai sent a list to Goblin Little Bro. through the Trading Secret Realm Pass.

"Therapeutic potions, healing scrolls, several battle potions, defense scrolls, level - 10 defensive gear..."

The items on the list were all equipment and items for self - preservation.

Since the level Kai needed was too low, only level 10, the value of these things wasn't too expensive. Altogether, they were only 300 gold coins.

"It's really cheap."

With a sigh, Kai mailed 300 gold coins to the other party through the Trading Secret Realm Pass.

Soon, Goblin Little Bro. got all the things ready and mailed them back to Kai.

In this way, Kai had a bit more confidence in the afternoon's action.

However, the matter of the Forbidden Magic Talisman was like a thorn in Kai's heart that he couldn't get rid of.

As the son of the Demon Sect leader, even if Maxwell Johnson didn't have guards around him, he surely wouldn't lack special items, scrolls, etc.!

If a battle broke out between the two, with the protection of the Forbidden Magic Talisman, Kai's safety factor would be greatly improved!

One must know that this was the real world, not the Tower of Eternity!

If he died here, it would be game over and he'd have to start all over again.

Kai couldn't be careless!

"Is there any way to get someone to help me lift the bloodline restriction of the Forbidden Magic Talisman..."

In class, Kai was absent - minded, his mind full of this matter.

Before class ended, a flash of inspiration struck Kai's mind.

"I can help people appraise equipment! The [Eyes that analyze the essence] can view the hidden attributes of equipment without paying any price. I can charge fees for appraising equipment, or even exchange directly, asking the other party to help me lift the restriction of the Forbidden Magic Talisman!"

Thinking of this, Kai quickly ran into the bathroom, closed the door, and took out the Lone Wolf Medal.

The Lone Wolf Medal could connect to satellites, had a call function, and a special line for lone wolves. On the other end was a professional providing various services for lone wolves.

"Doo - doo - doo -"

The phone was quickly answered, and a clear and pleasant female voice sounded.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"I want to post a... How should I say it... A mission? A bounty?"

"Please describe the specific content, and we will classify it for you."

"Okay, I need a large amount of gold coins, or someone to help me lift the bloodline restriction of an SS - grade special item."

"I understand your needs. What do you have to exchange?"

"I can help people appraise equipment."

After thinking for a while, Kai added, "Including hidden attributes."

On the other end of the phone, the customer service had a very good attitude and said unhurriedly.

"Okay, we've registered it for you. We've posted a thread for you in the [Barter] section. If there are any interested messages, we will forward them to your voice mailbox. Please check it in a timely manner. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, thank you."

The phone hung up, and Kai rubbed his temples.

He didn't know if it would be in time. Time was running out!

On the Wolf's Nest Forum, in the Barter section, a new thread was posted.

"Charge for appraising equipment, including hidden attributes, price negotiable...."

As soon as this thread was posted, the click - through rate immediately exceeded a thousand!

Appraising the hidden attributes of equipment was something only a master blacksmith could do.

How much money and favors would it cost to invite a master blacksmith to make a move!

Now that someone was willing to appraise for a fee, it was naturally sought after by countless people.

However, when everyone clicked into the thread to view the detailed information, they backed out disappointed.

"What the hell is this? A first - order warrior dares to post such a thread. It must be a money - scammer!"

"I, Lao Wang, would rather starve to death, die outside, than let a first - order warrior appraise my equipment!"

"The Wolf's Nest Forum is getting worse year by year. There are all kinds of people here!"

"Take your fish and leave, I'll take the horse. Get it?"

"....."

A flood of taunts came. No one was willing to believe that a first - order warrior could appraise the hidden attributes of equipment.

Could he be an S - grade talent with the [Keen Eye]?

Everyone just thought someone was fishing or trolling, and no one took this thread seriously.

In the women's dormitory of the Imperial Capital University, a beauty with messy hair was sitting in front of the computer with a worried look on her face.

"I'm about to go on an internship in the Abyss Plane, and I haven't even sorted out my equipment yet. What should I do?"

As usual, she was browsing the threads on the Wolf's Nest Forum, hoping to find a chance to get a bargain.

Soon, she saw a thread with a very high click - through / reply rate.

[Charge for appraising equipment, including hidden attributes, price negotiable....]

"A thread posted by a first - order warrior. What a waste of time."

The beauty was about to close the thread, but she bit her lower lip with her white teeth, looking a bit hesitant.

"What if... what he said is true?"

"Giving it a try won't cost me anything... If it's true..."

Thinking of this, the beauty's desolate expression regained some strange luster. She tapped the keyboard, expressing her willingness to have a meeting.

After doing all this, she fell back on the bed, covered her face with her hands, and said self - deprecatingly.

"Goodness, look at what I've been reduced to. I'm actually pinning my hopes on a first - order warrior!"

"Forget it, might as well try treating a dead horse as a live one!"

...

Kai, who was in class at school, felt his Lone Wolf Medal vibrate slightly in his pocket.

"Is there news?"

Kai remained calm, raised his hand, and said, "Teacher, I need to go to the bathroom."

"If you go, don't come back for this class!"

"Okay, thank you, teacher!"

Teacher:.....

Kai slipped out from the back door and ran into the bathroom like the wind. He took out the Lone Wolf Medal and checked the message.

"Want to appraise equipment? Sure, let's talk in the Trading Secret Realm!"

In the Tower of Eternity, the Trading Secret Realm.

Two beautiful figures logged on. One of them looked around, full of curiosity.

"So this is the Trading Secret Realm, Scarlett. I've been in college for three years, and this is my first time here!"

The two were about the same height, a little over 1.7 meters. One was thinner and more slender, exuding youthful vitality.

The woman called 'Scarlett' had a plump figure and instead had a somewhat mature charm that didn't match her age.

She was obviously not very satisfied with the name 'Scarlett' and tapped the other girl, saying,

"Aria, I stole my family's pass and brought you to the Trading Secret Realm in private. Don't push your luck!"

"Yes, yes, Scarlett is the best to me."

The thinner - bodied Aria, named Aria Grant, was often teased by Scarlett about this.

According to the curriculum arrangement of the Imperial Capital University, third - year students must go on an exploration internship in the Abyss Plane at the end of the semester.

It lasts for three days, and they must kill a demon above the fifth - order warrior level!

Aria Grant wanted to get a more suitable staff before departure, but she was stumped when choosing.

Both weapons had hidden attributes, and she couldn't tell which one was better. She only had enough money to buy one, so it was hard to decide.

Aria Grant saw a post on the Wolf's Nest Forum saying someone was charging for appraising equipment. Somehow, she got in touch with the person and finally decided to meet in the Trading Secret Realm.

For this, she even dragged her good friend, Scarlett Hart.

"Scarlett, help me keep an eye on things and bargain later!"

"Bargain? Aria, are you really stupid or just pretending?"

Scarlett said disdainfully.

"The only way a first - order warrior can appraise equipment for you is if he has the S - grade talent [Keen Eye]. This kind of talent is extremely precious. Once discovered, even a War King would treat the person as an honored guest! How could it be your turn to get a bargain?"

"I think he's probably a liar, having fun at your expense!"

"But, but..."

Aria Grant was anxious. "I have no other choice. Besides, since he proposed to meet in the Trading Secret Realm, he should have some strength and background!"

It cost a lot to enter the Trading Secret Realm once, and even Aria Grant felt distressed.

She could only ask Scarlett to bring her into the Trading Secret Realm.

After listening to Aria's words, Scarlett nodded and said,

"Indeed, so I said he's probably a liar. But there's still a two - percent chance, right? What if you're lucky?"

"No, it's not two percent. It should be two in a thousand, or two in ten thousand!"

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Scarlett's face. She had already thought that if they met a liar this time, she would have a good laugh at Aria when they got back.

She would laugh at this girl for at least half a month!

She actually believed a thread posted by a first - order warrior!

These two were a perfect match. One dared to post, and the other dared to believe. Unbelievable!

"We're here. Where is he?"

The two stopped and waited at the appointed place.

Less than half a minute later, a mass of thunder element floated in front of the two and asked,

"Are you [Bigbigbigbig]?"

Aria's face turned black instantly, and Scarlett tried hard to hold back her laughter, almost bursting out.

Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Hahaha, what kind of weird name did you choose, hahahaha!"

Aria's moment of embarrassment...

She didn't expect that the screen name she casually registered on the Wolf's Nest Forum would make her embarrassed in front of her best friend!

When she chose the screen name back then, she was too impulsive, and she couldn't change it!

It was all Scarlett's fault. She was always mocking Aria for being flat - chested and short, so Aria got angry and chose such a name.

Ignoring Scarlett's demonic laughter, Aria forced herself to say, "It's me."

"Should we talk about the price first, or appraise first?"

Behind the thunder element was naturally Kai himself.

He didn't expect that the other party would show their true faces in the Trading Secret Realm.

She was quite good - looking, slightly less beautiful than Stella Parker.

"Ah, this..."

Aria didn't expect the other party to get to the point so quickly. For a moment, she didn't know how to start and could only turn her eyes to her friend for help.

Scarlett stopped laughing at Aria, her expression turned serious, and she slowly said,

"Let's first determine your appraisal ability, and then we can talk about the price. How about that?"

Before Kai could speak, Scarlett added, "We won't let you do it for nothing. If the test is accurate, we're willing to pay 10,000 gold coins as a test fee."

Kai nodded. "Okay, how do you want to test?"

Aria leaned close to Scarlett's ear and whispered, "Scarlett, I only have 150,000 gold coins in my savings. Spend it wisely!"

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I'll pay this 10,000 gold coins!"

Scarlett took it upon herself and said.

Aria, this silly girl, is too naive. Usually, she's either in the library or the combat room.

She hardly interacts with people!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have done such a ridiculous thing as [asking a first - rank warrior to appraise equipment]!

Scarlett is different. Born into a big family, she has been exposed to business dealings since she was a child and knows a thing or two about them!

Scarlett knows better than anyone how sought - after appraisal talents like [Sharp Eye] are!

If the other party can really identify hidden attributes, not to mention 10,000 gold coins, even 100,000 gold coins, Scarlett would be willing to pay to make this friend!

"The test is simple."

Scarlett took out three balls of different colors and introduced,

"These are the most commonly used appraisal balls. Their hidden attributes are numbers. Appraising them won't cost too much."

"Among the three balls, you just need to identify the hidden attributes of two balls, and that'll count as..."

Before Scarlett could finish, Kai interrupted.

"456."

"What?"

Aria looked confused, not understanding what the other party was talking about.

Scarlett was stunned in place, her mouth slightly open in an O - shape, unable to make a sound.

Kai had to repeat,

"I said, the hidden attribute numbers of these three balls are: 4, 5, 6."

"Whoa—"

Aria quickly turned her head to look at her best friend, wanting to confirm if the answer was correct.

The moment Aria saw Scarlett's expression.

She knew the other party was right!

"Could it be... I really got lucky!"

Aria was overjoyed inside, but before she could speak.

Scarlett, who came to her senses, said first,

"It's indeed 4, 5, 6. This is a 10,000 - gold - coin bearer card. Please take it!"

As she spoke, she handed over a black card, and Kai took it calmly.

Scarlett forced a slightly stiff smile and said in an inquiring tone,

"May I discuss with my friend over there for a moment?"

"No problem. I still have 14 minutes."

Kai looked at the time. There were 14 minutes left before class.

If he skipped class continuously, a teacher would surely talk to him after school, and that would be a hassle.

"No problem. We'll be right back!"

Scarlett pulled Aria aside. Even though she lowered her voice, she couldn't hide her excitement.

"Aria, you're really in luck this time!"

"Ah? Scarlett, calm down. I haven't had my equipment appraised yet!"

"You don't understand. Do you know that just building a friendship with this master is worth a fortune!

Appraising equipment, is that even a problem?!"

Scarlett took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and said as calmly as possible,

"We can't leave a bad impression on the master. It's about building a long - term relationship, not a one - time deal! Got it?"

Aria said with a hint of grievance, "But I just want to have my weapon appraised..."

Scarlett said, hating Aria's lack of understanding,

"You, you're so stubborn. Even if you were given a golden hoe, you'd use it to plow the fields!"

"What else can a hoe be used for if not plowing?"

"Still arguing!"

Finally, Scarlett made a decision and said,

"I'll handle all the negotiations later. We need to figure out what this master really needs!"

"Help others when they're in need, understand what they want. Understand?"

Aria said timidly, "If I understood, why would I bring you along..."

"Come here!"

Scarlett pulled Aria and they returned to Kai.

"Okay, master, let's talk about the appraisal price!"
