After Qi Yu finished speaking, Gu Shi also continued: "Since the appraisal institute will not open until the day after tomorrow, then I will go back first. Shu Feng will not be able to show his skills in our dormitory."
Because he came back late yesterday, Gu Shi didn't have time to take Shufeng to Field, and it was not convenient to let it stay outside alone in the school, so Shufeng could only huddle on the balcony of their dormitory in a wronged manner.
Gu Shi walked over and stroked its feathers soothingly, "Shufeng, we put in a lot of effort this time. I will definitely reward you well when we get back."
When Shufeng heard Gu Shi praising it, the whole bird suddenly perked up and put on a very proud attitude.
Cheng Xuqing also agreed, "If this stone can be sold for a high price, Shufeng will definitely get a share. Then we can use it to buy him some delicious food."
Zhao Zhize and Qi Yu had no objection to this. If it weren't for Shufeng, they really didn't know how to transport the stone out.
At this point, Gu Shi suddenly remembered the burning crystal ores again, "I almost forgot, those burning crystal ores are still with me. Here, you can collect them."
Gu Shi placed all the burning crystal ore in the space ring on their respective desks.
"It's getting late now, so I'll leave first. I'll come back the day after tomorrow afternoon and go to the appraisal center with you."
After Gu Shi said goodbye to the three of them, he took Shufeng back to the Mage Tower.
"You're back? Just right. This is a new gadget I made. Let you play with it."
As soon as Gu Shi walked out of the teleportation array, Field threw a badge-like object in front of him.
Gu Shi took the light grey badge, looked at it for a few seconds, and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
Field leaned comfortably on the sofa beside him, turned to look at Gu Shi, and replied, "Remember the book you lent me before? This is an alchemical tool I made using the knowledge recorded in it.
Its function is to reduce your presence in the eyes of others. As long as you don't take the initiative to talk, others will not notice your existence.
I tested it a bit and it works well for ordinary people and low-level professionals. As the level of the professionals increases, its effect will be weakened, but people of my strength will only be slightly affected.
Furthermore, the effect of this item can be shaken off. If you have already made a deep impression on someone, the effect on them will be greatly reduced.”
“Also, there may be other flaws that haven’t been discovered. The testing I conducted wasn’t very comprehensive, and there are still many areas where this prop needs to be improved.
You have to choose the right occasion to use it. It's okay to play with it, but don't expect it to help you too much."
In response to Field's warning, Gu Shi replied seriously, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, teacher."
After hearing Field's description of the badge, Gu Shi immediately recalled the uniqueness of Anthony's restaurant that he had seen in the ruins.
Unexpectedly, Field would be able to achieve results so quickly after getting Anthony's black book, and he had even made samples.
Although Gu Shi had never studied alchemy himself, he knew how difficult it was to create a new prop through what he had seen and heard. His teacher was indeed his favorite, and his alchemy skills were amazing.
Gu Shi originally wanted to ask a few more questions about this prop, but seeing that Field had his eyes closed and looked like he was resting, he prepared to leave quietly.
"By the way, I also used this item to exchange for a wind spell from an old acquaintance.
I've put the stuff on the shelf in the training room. Take care of it yourself. Once you've finished most of the tasks at hand, you can start learning new magic."
Gu Shiying said: "Okay, I understand."

Two days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for Gu Shi and Cheng Xuqing to meet up. He returned to school on time and went to the appraisal center with the two of them.
The appraisal institute is located on the fourth floor of a teaching building in the northern part of the campus. It was originally a multimedia classroom, but has now been converted.
As soon as Gu Shi and his companions entered the door, they saw a sign next to the counter with the words written in conspicuous red font:
"Appraisal fee 1000 contribution points/time
No retreat! No retreat! No retreat! ! !
Think before you pay!"
The word "no retreat" was repeated three times, and it felt like the resentment on the sign was about to turn into a physical entity. It seemed that many disputes had occurred in the appraisal institute.
Cheng Xuqing saw the words on the sign. It was the first time he knew the pricing of the appraisal institute. He whispered, "It's so expensive. One appraisal costs 1,000 contribution points."
Zhao Zhize patted his shoulder and said, "It's expensive for a reason. We can afford 1,000 contribution points."
"This student is right. We identify items directly through system scanning. We have a 100% accuracy rate and will definitely not let you miss any treasures. 1,000 contribution points are absolutely worth it."
The two were startled by the young man who suddenly appeared from behind them.
Gu Shi silently retracted his outstretched hand. He had just wanted to remind them both, but before he could say anything, the young man interrupted him.
The young man apologized, "Did I scare you? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation.
It's just that there were very few customers this afternoon, and my colleague had taken the day off, so I was a little bored, so I couldn't help but talk to you."
Zhao Zhize shook his head. "It's okay."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. So, what are you planning to have appraised at the appraisal institute today?"
Gu Shi took a step forward and opened the backpack in his hand, "This is it."
"Come here, please put the things on the tray over here." The young man led them to the counter and pushed over a black tray with a velvet pad.
As soon as this tray came out, the sense of ceremony was immediately filled.
Cheng Xuqing helped Gu Shi take the stone out of the backpack and placed it on the cloth mat.
Looking at the flattened cloth cushion, he couldn't help but complain, "This stone and velvet don't go together at all. I suddenly feel a little guilty. It can't really be an ordinary stone, right?"
Zhao Zhize consoled him, "Don't think like that. The test hasn't even been conducted yet, so why are you already saying such discouraging words?"
The young man had already sat behind the counter and said, "If you have decided to have an appraisal, please pay here first.
According to the rules, I still have to remind you that once the appraisal results come out, even if your items are worthless, we cannot refund the money.
Please consider this carefully.”
Since they were already here, Gu Shi and the other two naturally wouldn't give up at this time. They looked at each other and quickly paid the fee.
