Insufficient balance

  He arrived at "All-Encompassing Mirror", stroked the Tianlong Imperial Edict on his chest, chuckled and walked in with confidence.

  Bai Zhan Appraisal Store, no, Bai Zhan Feitian Group 100 million RMB, how can this be good.

  Identify the old man, go cry.

  "Hello, Master Appraiser. Please help me appraise this jade stone." Feng Xiang took out the Tianxuan Huanxiang Jade as soon as he entered the appraisal shop.

  The old man looked at him with a slightly surprised expression, wondering how this kid had come again. Had he saved up 100 million gold coins? What a joke, that was absolutely impossible. That is...

  This kid's brain is flooded.

  The old man immediately struck a domineering pose and hummed a few words from his nose: "I've said it before, 100 million gold coins."

  "Hmm... Appraisal Grandfather, there's no gold coin, but take a look at this. Is it enough?" A shiny golden token was presented before the old appraiser.

  The old man glanced at him disdainfully, a flash of golden light passed by, and his pupils suddenly contracted, voicelessly saying: "Tian Long Secret Order!"

  "Oh, Appraiser Grandpa, since you recognize it, you should know its value, so, I'm troubling you."

  Sweat trickled down the old man's forehead in a cold line.

  The Tianlong Imperial Decree had not appeared for decades, but the old appraiser still recognized it at a glance, because almost everyone on the Tianlong Continent knew it, representing courage and honor, representing the emperor's favor and power.

  Moreover, the Heavenly Dragon's decree is unforgeable.

  "This... this..." The old man's face was covered in sweat as he stuttered.

  "What's wrong, Master Appraiser? Is there a problem?"

  "This... cough, Envoy-sama, please take a seat first." The old appraiser's deadpan face suddenly twisted into a flattering smile.

  Even if he were given another ten times the courage, he would not dare to defy the prestige of Tianlong's secret order under the eyelids of the Tianlong Imperial Palace. However, he had previously put on a pose that could be identified, and deliberately reported a price that scared people to death - if the other party knew that he actually couldn't identify it, not only would the "identification" signboard be smashed, but his reputation would also be ruined, and his person would be lost.

  Even a fool can see that something is wrong, Feng Xiao asked strangely: "Appraisal Grandfather, what's the problem? Please appraise it for me immediately, I'm in a hurry to rush on my way."

  "...The old man gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, the truth is...the truth is that this jade of yours is too high-grade, I can't appraise it?"

  "What!?" Feng Xiao was taken aback, then almost jumped up: "Can't be appraised? Then what's the deal with the 100 million gold coins you mentioned earlier, were you just messing with me?!"

  The old man looked embarrassed and didn't speak for a long time before saying in a weak tone, "This is also for the sake of our shop's reputation."

  The wind is blowing wildly, and I am so excited that I cannot help but want to throw back my head and laugh loudly.

  What a great opportunity for blackmail, if you don't make good use of it, you'll be struck by thunder.

  Feng Xiao's face was filled with indignation as he said, "For the sake of reputation? For the reputation of a mere shop, you can be so despicable and heartless in deceiving me? Do you know how great a blow and wound this has dealt to my fragile heart? How can I trust people and things in society... cough, on the Tian Long continent from now on?"

  "A small deceit may seem insignificant, but it can lead to mistrust among people. In the long run, it will inevitably give rise to internal strife. Now that a great disaster is approaching the Dragon Continent, the people of the Dragon Clan cannot unite to resist the external enemy, instead they are plagued by internal strife and mutual suspicion. If this continues, the Dragon Dynasty will surely perish!"

  Feng Xiao's three words and two phrases directly elevated the issue to the destruction of the Tianlong dynasty, causing the old appraiser's face to turn pale and cold sweat to break out.

  With a long sigh, he said: "I didn't think I'd have to exercise the power of the Tianlong Envoy so soon. Appraiser Grandfather, your appraisal shop has committed fraud and severely endangered the order and peace of the Tianlong Empire, so I must immediately report to the Emperor and have him shut down your appraisal shop."

  The old man almost fell to the ground, his intestines were green with regret. He hastily grabbed Feng Xiao, who was pretending to turn around and leave, and said in a panic: " Envoy, absolutely not! I have an 80-year-old mother lying in bed at home, and a three-year-old child waiting to be fed. The whole family relies on this shop for food. If the shop is closed, we will all have no way to live! Envoy, please spare me once because of my old age and first offense! I swear, this is absolutely my first time, and also my last time."

  Is your mother eighty? Is your youngest three years old? Feng Xiao looked at his face, which was drier than tree bark, and almost threw up.

  He pretended to think for a moment, then let out a sorrowful sigh: "Forget it, I don't have any other flaws except that I'm a bit too soft-hearted, a bit too kind and generous. As long as you agree to one small condition from me, I'll let this matter drop."

  The old man heard that there was a chance and hastily said with a flattering face: "As long as the messenger doesn't care about my shop, I'll agree to any conditions."

  Haha, then I won't be polite. Feng Xiang cleared his throat and said slowly: "The request is simple, teach me appraisal techniques."

  "What?!" The old man's reaction was more intense than expected. "No way, no way, this request is absolutely unacceptable!"

  "Why can't I? You just waved your hand and did it! Are you trying to get me locked up?"

  The old man was unusually resolute: "Absolutely not! The appraisal technique is the untransmitted secret of my Appraisal Gate, and it must not be passed on to outsiders. Otherwise, my Appraisal Gate will surely suffer a disaster that will lead to its downfall?"

  What's the big secret? Fart! My daughter Yao'er is still being proactively taught by others.

  Want to haggle with me?

  He turned around and left: "Then just wait for the appraisal shop to be closed."

  The old man grasped the wind and almost cried out: " Envoy, I beg of you to have mercy! It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I really can't... Apart from this one request, I'll agree to anything else. If it's money you want, I'll give you as much as you like!"

  Seeing the old appraiser's "rather die than yield" performance, Feng Xiao was puzzled - could it be that appraisal techniques really couldn't be passed on to outsiders? Then what about Yao'er's case?

  It seems like learning appraisal skills is really hopeless, but a single word from the old appraiser made him suddenly enlightened.

  Money!

  "Alright then, I won't make things difficult for you either. Give me 10 million gold coins as a fine, and I'll hand them all over to the national treasury." Feng Xiao said with a generous expression.

  "Alright, no problem."

  He was originally waiting for the other party to haggle with him, but he almost choked on his own saliva. He thought he had asked for enough, but looking at the other person's relaxed expression, it seemed that what he wanted was actually too little.

  After some thought, it's all clear. In the past few days, at least 200-300 million players have flooded into Tianlong Imperial City. Even if each person only spent an average of 30 gold coins on equipment identification, that adds up to...

  It's only been a few days! If it's in the late game, high-level equipment will become more and more common, and the appraisal fee will be higher and higher. At that time, the speed of making money...

  Feng Xiao felt that getting one million was not as good as pulling out a single hair from a cow.

  The amount of money a player can carry is unlimited, and with a million yuan in hand, they swagger out of the appraisal shop.

  It's 10 million RMB!

  With this money, his plan can be implemented ahead of schedule.

  Suddenly, Feng Xiao slapped his forehead: "How could I forget to ask that old man to give me free appraisal in the future! This is a huge sum of money!"

  The appraiser, the old man who was scolded, had a confused brain that gradually calmed down. He thought carefully and suddenly burst out in anger: "Damn it! That little bastard is really something! For this tiny mistake of mine, which doesn't even count as farting, I'm actually being blamed!"

  The first place on the wealth rankings became one hundred million gold coins, causing a huge stir throughout Revival.

  It's just the wind blowing unknowingly without a care.
