Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"Master Elder, I'm certainly not here to joke. Given your family's strength, calling an appraiser right away shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

After hearing what Banning said, Elder Yuhong knew that this guy was really determined to go all the way.

With the strength of the Feiqi family, not to mention one appraiser, even three can be called immediately. In addition, Elder Yuhong can immediately arrange for people to go to the southern mine to confirm the situation - relying on the speed of the "Feiyan Divine Horse", it only takes one day to run back and forth.

In other words, if Banning lied, there was no way he could get away with it.

"Of course it's not difficult."

Elder Yu Hong smiled meaningfully, then clapped his hands and asked the butler who was waiting outside the door to come in. He ordered him to call the appraiser and immediately send someone to the southern mine to investigate the latest situation.

Next, depending on how things develop, Elder Yu Hong has two plans.

If this Banning really did incredibly act as a "good guy" for the Feiqi family, then that would naturally be a good thing, and Elder Yuhong would never treat his benefactor unfairly;

And if Ban Ning was so bold as to come to the Feiqi family to cheat, Elder Yuhong would definitely let him know the consequences of running wild in the Feiqi family.

9.95 - Rejected Viviana

While the Red and Black Elders were negotiating with Banning in the reception room, Viviana, who was in the Feiqi family manor, also heard the news that someone had come to visit with a commission.

As one of the people who cared most about the commission, Viviana immediately stopped training and asked someone to take her to the living room to meet the visitor.

Later, on the way to the reception room, Viviana learned that the visitor was actually the "black-haired boy", and she became even more concerned and could not help but pay attention.

You know, in the Kingdom of West, black hair is a very rare hair color. Among the people Viviana knows, there is only one person with black hair - and that person is Banning.

—(But… the last time I saw Benning, he dyed his hair yellow for some reason… so the person visiting this time is another person with black hair besides Benning?)

Due to limited information, Viviana couldn't guess what was going on at once, but this was not a big problem because she knew what she should do: as long as she went to the living room and saw it with her own eyes, all her doubts would be cleared up.

·

However, after arriving at the living room, things did not go as smoothly as Viviana had expected.

The red and black elder, who arrived earlier than Viviana, not only entered the reception room, but also forbade anyone to enter.

"Even I can't go in?" Viviana asked the butler in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, Miss Viviana, the two elders didn't tell you that you could be an exception."

The butler refused to budge, leaving Viviana with no choice but to wait outside with him.

Fortunately, not long after, a voice was heard in the reception room. It turned out that it was Elder Yu Hong calling the butler in.

Seeing this, Viviana quickly asked to go in with them, but was stopped outside by the butler who was a stickler for rules.

Viviana was furious, but she couldn't turn her sword against her own people, could she? Helplessly, Viviana had to ask the chief steward to take her in and ask the two elders to see if she could enter.

·

Viviana originally thought that although it was troublesome, there would be no more problems as long as she asked this question. However, she did not expect that the butler would tell her after coming out of the reception room that the two elders had instructed that Miss Viviana must not be allowed to enter.

"What? Why can't I go in?"

Viviana's eyes widened in surprise. She immediately asked the butler the reason. She couldn't believe that this was the idea of ​​her two mentors.

However, the chief steward had no way to answer her because the two elders did not tell him the explanation.

Afterwards, the chief steward apologized to Viviana and began to busy himself with carrying out the orders of the elders.

Although Viviana was furious, she still had her wits about her. She remained calm and stood aside, openly watching what the Red and Black Elders were telling the chief steward to do.

With luck, she might be able to deduce what had happened in the drawing room.

·

The chief steward first sent a servant to call the appraiser hired by the Feiqi family, and then sent someone to give orders to the scout team, asking them to immediately arrange personnel to go to the southern mine to confirm the latest situation of the southern mine.

This operation really confused Viviana.

Isn't it the case that someone is about to take on the Southern Mine's commission? Why is it that the Feiqi family is the one in such a state of turmoil?

The two elders were so anxious to send people to the southern mine. Could it be that the monsters in the mine had new movements?

The information Viviana could obtain was limited, and the guesses she could make basically only went so far.

Without more information about what happened next, she could only guess blindly, so the only thing Viviana could do now was to calm down and continue waiting outside.

After calming down, Viviana's mind gradually broke free from the rigid shackles.

Somewhat belatedly, she finally understood why the Red and Black Elder had specifically not let her in.

——(It seems... the person in the living room is really likely Banning...)

·

Viviana boldly guessed that the "visitor" in the reception room at the moment was actually Banning, and the Red and Black Elders did not let her in because they were afraid that she would act on her emotions.

If this reasoning is correct, then Banning's current situation in the reception room is probably not very good, otherwise the two elders would not be so cautious.

However, Viviana really couldn't understand why Banning had a quarrel with the two elders?

Whether it is Banning or the two elders, they are all very good people, and there should be no conflict of interest... What on earth is the reason for this quarrel?

Viviana thought about it so hard that her head was about to smoke, but she still couldn't figure it out. The current situation was really unbelievable!

Since she couldn't figure it out, Viviana simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the living room was so quiet now, and nothing big should happen.

If there really is any movement, then Viviana will just rush in.

——(Yes, that’s right. All I have to do is continue to wait patiently… Yeah!)

Outside the living room, the girl was racking her brains;

In the living room, two old men and a young man were engaging in a battle of wits and courage;

Elder Yuhong, Elder Minghei and young man Banning, the three of them sat quietly, waiting for the appraiser to arrive.

In the living room, the already rare relaxed atmosphere was now completely gone, leaving only a suffocating and frozen atmosphere.

Elder Yuhong had lost his temper somewhat.

What he wanted most now was to see Banning make a fool of himself, and then use this opportunity to expose the boy's true identity.

Elder Minghei was relatively objective. He hadn't said much from beginning to end, but he saw things more clearly. He believed that Banning was neither crazy nor stupid, and there was no need for him to come here deliberately to seek death.

In other words, Elder Minghei's judgment is that what Banning said is true. No matter what his own strength is, at least the chips he played are genuine.

As for why Elder Minghei did not remind Elder Yuhong, it was because he felt that it was not a bad thing to let his old partner suffer a setback once in a while - when people get older, suffering a few setbacks can help keep their brains clear.

·

Not long after, the appraiser arrived. The two elders looked at the appraiser in unison. Only Banning didn't care and sat there calmly waiting to hear the result.

The appraiser was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old. He was wearing an exquisite gray-white suit embroidered with gold thread. It was obvious that this profession allowed him to make a good living.

The appraiser first bowed respectfully to the two elders, and then, according to their instructions, began to concentrate on identifying the two magic cores on the table.

While waiting for the appraisal results, Banning, who seemed unconcerned on the outside, actually secretly used the "shadow stealing technique" to steal the appraiser's skills.

He would never let go of such a great opportunity to learn about another profession. Moreover, "Identification Skill" has always been one of the skills he is most wary of, so there is no reason not to take a look.

(I see, so this is what the appraiser's appraisal skills are like.)

Banning read the description of the identification skill at a glance and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with the identification ability that comes with his super-dimensional divine eyes, the identification skills are really not worth mentioning.

9.96 - Identification result

In the Prison Star world, "Appraiser" is a type of manufacturing profession.

The middle-aged man currently identifying the magic core is named Nicol, and he is a level 23 appraiser.

Just by seeing this information, Jiang Ran had already gained something. He found that the "manufacturing profession" was different from the "combat profession". There was no level 20 class upgrade limit, and there was no concept of "advancement".

If there is no "advancing", then the question arises: after reaching level 20, can the "manufacturing profession" comprehend the second skill?

Regarding this issue, Jiang Ran will try his best to use the skill "Shadow Stealing" to see if he can steal manufacturing professional skills other than "Appraisal" from Appraiser Nicole.

Now let's talk about the identification skill itself. Although Jiang Ran couldn't see what level Nicole's identification skill was, judging from the fact that his skill already had a "suffix entry", it was at least level ten.

Through the Shadow Stealing Technique, Jiang Ran saw Nicole's identification skills as follows:

First of all, Nicole can only identify inanimate objects, and she must stare at the target continuously and intently for 60 seconds. If she is interrupted or distracted during this period, she must start over.

In addition, during the identification skill, Nicol needs to consume 5 magic points per second. In other words, he must consume 300 magic points for each item he identifies.

The 300 points of magic expenditure is insignificant to Jiang Ran now, but for an ordinary person like Nicol who only has living and manufacturing professions, it means that as long as he identifies two or three items, he needs to sleep to replenish his magic.

Perhaps, as Nicole's skill level continues to improve, the staring time and magic power she needs to spend will gradually decrease. However, these are no longer important to Jiang Ran. It is enough for him to know that Nicole's identification skills cannot identify his information.

"The Feiqi family cannot identify their own information." This information is of great significance to Jiang Ran.

As for the suffix entry of Nicole's identification skill, it is an auxiliary entry called "Record". The effect is that as long as it is an item that has been identified by Nicole, the next time you identify it, you will not need to stare at it, and you can directly obtain the identification information.

In general, the skill of "Identification" is definitely enough to make a living in the Prison Star World, but if compared with Jiang Ran's "Super-Dimensional Divine Eye", it is far behind.

Two minutes later, appraiser Nicole leaned over and whispered the results of the appraisal into the ears of the two elders.

Elder Yuhong widened his eyes in disbelief, while Elder Minghei looked as if he had expected it.

"...I understand. You can leave first."

Elder Yu Hong calmed down first and asked the outsiders to leave the living room first.

The following conversation is not something that can be heard by outsiders.

When only Elder Yuhong and the other three were left in the reception room, the old man thought for a while and spoke to Banning with difficulty.

"Mr. Banning, the appraisal results are indeed as you said... However, whether these two fourth-level stone statues are from the southern mine is not something that can be determined."

While changing the title and acknowledging the magic core, Elder Yuhong still wanted to save face and found a way out for himself.

Elder Minghei was listening on the side, and he knew that his old partner could not let go of his old face, so he simply took over the conversation and frankly acknowledged Banning's strength.

"Rodrigo, no matter where these two magic cores came from, I think they are enough to prove Banning's ability. Now, why don't we talk about what Banning wants to discuss with us?"

Elder Minghei cleverly took Elder Yuhong's face into consideration and spoke as tactfully as possible. At this time, Elder Yuhong finally calmed down from his emotions and understood Elder Minghei's hint - yes, Banning had no intention of causing trouble from the beginning to the end, so it would not be a bad idea to listen to what he was going to do first.

What's more, even after the identification results came out, this young man did not show any arrogance or domineering behavior. Such "humility and restraint" made Elder Yu Hong, who had always disliked him, feel a little good about him.

"Then let it be as you say, Augusto."

Elder Yuhong nodded to Elder Minghei, then after a slight hesitation, looked at Banning and added a sentence that set the tone for the following conversation.

"Sir Banning, I'm sorry for doubting your ability just now. I hope you can forgive me."

·

·

When Elder Yuhong said this, Elder Minghei beside him almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and the teacup in his hand shook violently and almost fell to the ground.

——(This is really the sun rising from the west. I didn’t expect that the stubborn Rodrigo would learn to adapt one day!)

Elder Minghei originally thought that old man Rodrigo would continue to hold on with a stern face, but he didn't expect that he would put aside his pride so easily and apologize to Banning frankly.

You know, Rodrigo now represents half of the face of the Feiqi family.

But Elder Minghei thought again, Rodrigo had even agreed to go to the Task Union to issue the commission, so what was the point of apologizing here?

Just as Viviana said, if they killed Lord Feiqi or caused other difficult-to-handle consequences because of their pride, that would be the greatest loss of face for the Feiqi family.

"Elder, you are too kind. It is only natural for your family to be wary of a nobody like me."

After Elder Yuhong finished speaking, Banning responded to Elder Yuhong very politely, without any intention of taking advantage of the situation.

Then, he put aside the unpleasantness between the two parties and talked about the "real purpose" of his visit as if nothing had happened.

The two elders were greatly impressed by the young man's willingness to let bygones be bygones... But after hearing Banning's purpose, the two elders' admiration was immediately discounted.

"Actually, what I want to discuss with the two elders is... the reward for this commission."
