If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

"It's always been like this."

Fiona covered her face and sighed, then looked down at the stone ball displayed on old Odi's stall. After confirming that this guy 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 Oddi calmly watched Fiona and Lynn, then got up, picked up his own bag, and took out a price tag.

Lynn watched as old Otto picked through the price tags, finally selecting tags that read 10 each, then flicking his wrist to stick them one by one in front of the stone spheres on his stall.

"Premium 'Midea Dragon Stone Brain', 10 units sold!"

"Choose for yourself, once you've placed your order, 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?!"

"Isn't the Midea Dragon Stone Brain usually priced at 50,000 to 60,000 RMB?!"

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

"You said it yourself, it's a normal time~"

"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 legal tender. 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 smiled and said:

That's the logic.

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

"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 extract the brain marrow of a dragon, right?"

"I can only say, most likely," old Oddi said shrewdly. "It depends on your judgment!"

"Some people are just naturally in a bad mood, who can say for sure?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn smiled:

"What a coincidence, I'm exactly the kind of person who likes to play tricks on others."

Old Oddi laughed then:

"Then you'll 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 Oddi.

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

How many are you buying?

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 back:

"Are you crazy?"

Fiona leaned closer and asked in a low voice:

"You can't possibly 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 Oddi, saying:

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

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

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

"I'll pack up the goods for you right now!"

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 Ody:

"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 well.

The next second, the skill system sent a notification: [Appraisal Technique ↑].

Midea Dragon is a type of dragon that is abundant in the 15th floor of the dungeon.

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

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

As expected, Lynn's Level 1 Appraisal skill identified this information, which resembled an instruction manual.

Seeing this, Lynn was not surprised, after all, his appraisal skill level was so low, it was normal for it to happen like this.

However, the old man, Oddi, who was stopped from packing up, had a strange expression:

"Are you doing an appraisal?"

"Hey buddy, your appraisal skills... are pretty high level!!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn looked up and glanced at old Oddi:

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

"Level 1?" Old Ody was a little confused. "I saw you standing there doing remote appraisal, and I thought it was some kind of super high-level appraisal technique, like the 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 her confidence in visually assessing the item remotely, was due to the high level of her forensic skills.

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

After all, why would such a generous guest use a Level 1 appraisal technique to appraise the stone brain of the Earth Dragon?

He must have misread it.

So Lynn really is a Level 1 forensic expert?

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 her hand, and then handed it over.

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

"Kid, the stuff is yours!"

"But you need to understand, that's not how you use forensic techniques."

"Before your Appraisal skill reaches level 30 and upgrades to 'Eye of Analysis,' you have to get hands-on experience with Appraisal!"

As Old Ody spoke, he casually picked up the stone brain and, as if smashing a watermelon, thumped it repeatedly while saying to Lynn:

“For things like the stone brain of Midea Dragon, you have to take a picture first and listen to whether the sound is muffled and how muffled it is. Only then can you judge how much stone brain is inside.”

"First, take a picture, listen to the sound, and then smell it. By observing the scent it has on it, you can determine how long it has been produced."

"Under normal circumstances, in this stone brain weighing about 16 kilograms, after removing the outer stone shell, there is about 1 kilogram of usable stone brain 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 expensive. One gram costs three thousand legal coins, and a single portion would cost three hundred thousand legal coins.”

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

Hearing old Oddi say that, Lynn blinked and said:

"You're actually teaching me now?"

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

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

Seeing that Lynn had taken his advice to heart, old Oddi was first pleased, then grinned, looking pleased that his wicked sense of humor had been satisfied.

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 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 open this one first. Do you have the tools?"

"Have!"

Old Oedipus, quite tactfully, pulled a parchment scroll from beside his 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 caught 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, revealing the milky white jelly inside.

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

"Petrified brain matter?"

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

"That must be over 400,000?!"

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

"Looks like my bastard is dead."

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 brain-derived stones~"

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

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

“I’m not losing out anymore,” Lynn said, opening another copy of Stone Brain.

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

"No, young man, you're a scoundrel!"

“邭鈫曼俊�

Lynn picked up another stone 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 incredibly small, like a melon seed. He didn't know how his eyes could be so extreme.

"By the God of Craftsmen!"

“I fucking…”

Old Oddi was getting a little anxious:
