Chapter 172
Chapter 172
When Ying Chenlin mentioned the confidential appraisal, the looks of several businessmen around him changed slightly.
The appraiser at the front desk smiled. After paying Ying Chenlin the appraisal fee of four energy crystals, he walked up to Ying Chenlin and said kindly, "Hello, the confidential appraisal is in another area. Please follow me."
The confidential appraisal was only for private entry, and other people were not allowed to accompany KID, so they all stayed outside.
The other people who were watching around had originally responded to Chen Lin's identification of two functional energy crystals. Now seeing that he chose to keep the identification confidential, several people looked at KID's mecha master silently.
There was no need to use confidential identification for things in the gambling stone field. Norbert watched with interest as Ying Chenlin's figure disappeared outside the confidential identification channel area, blinked his eyes and said, "It seems that Sink has something good."
Not far away, Wu Qingshuang straightened up a little, "It seems that KID's background is not as bad as it is said on Starnet."
You Su moved his gaze slightly to the side and noticed that the gazes of several mecha technicians in the hall changed slightly. He said a few words to the appraiser at the front desk and quickly returned to the rest area in the hall to wait.
Confidential identification takes time, so you have to wait a while.
Ying Chenlin followed the appraisers through several corridors and entered a bright room. There were several people standing in the waiting area.
Chen Lin should know these people, they are EM's mecha division.
It seemed that the EM mecha technicians were about to leave after the appraisal. When Ying Chenlin passed by them, the man in purple clothes glanced sideways slightly, and his eyes seemed to linger on Ying Chenlin for a moment.
Ying Chenlin followed the appraiser and continued to walk inside, and the leader of EM stopped.
"Captain?" one of the mecha masters asked doubtfully.
The man turned his cold gaze back and said with a little doubt: "Robotic arm."
Ying Chenlin didn't pay attention to the sight behind him. There was a special appraisal table right after he entered the waiting area.
The Xingxiu Society staff member in charge of the confidential appraisal nodded at him and pushed over the details of the confidential appraisal. The details were similar to those of the outside [Qiusuo] agency responsible for testing the supernatural crystals. Information related to the appraiser would not be exposed, nor would details about the supernatural crystals be revealed. All appraisal materials would be destroyed after being passed on to the appraiser.
As for the price, the price of confidential appraisal is much more expensive than that of external appraisal.
The starting price for A-level appraisal is 1 million, and the starting price for S-level appraisal is as high as 5 million... Especially for S-level supernatural crystals, the starting price is 2 million higher.
The staff member said: "Our agency serves mecha masters all year round, you can trust us."
Ying Chenlin hesitated for a moment, but finally took out three supernatural crystals. The darkest one among them was the supernatural crystal with dual attributes of thunder and fire. This supernatural crystal had its energy extracted by Yuan many times. Now the internal energy is not as rich as it was at the beginning, but it should not have affected the performance of the supernatural crystal.
In addition to this, there were two supernatural crystals inherited from his father. One of them was emitting mottled light, while the other was completely colorless and blank and transparent.
After the appraisers took away the three energy crystals, Ying Chenlin waited in the corresponding waiting area.
With nothing to do, he started looking at the laptop and found that KID and other people in the group were already talking about other things. It turned out that many businessmen were inquiring about the sale of his two energy crystals. Some businessmen even thought that the gambling stone field had a lot of good goods and had already rushed to the gambling stone field to check out the goods.
The gambling stone field and the appraisal institute are mutually beneficial. If he produces good goods, the effect it brings will drive those embryo special crystals to be sold as soon as possible.
No wonder the prices of the two appraisals differ so greatly. Thinking of this, he paused for a moment. These prices were similar to what You Su told him, but how did You Su know the prices of Xingxiu Club?
Ying Chenlin's gaze stopped on the light computer. Ji Qingfeng and others were talking in the group, but You Su never sent a message.
He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know You Su very well. He had a special relationship with the border troops and had a deep understanding of the Xingxiu Society. Although he was a young man in his twenties, his experience was unfathomable.
Ying Chenlin swiped up and saw that You Su's latest reply was from more than an hour ago. Huo Yan asked them where they were and You Su returned to the gambling stone field.
He paused for a moment, then clicked on You Su's profile following his avatar, and discovered that both his profile page and space were blank.
At this moment, the light brain in his hand vibrated, and a new message popped up in the chat box between him and You Su. It was a private message.
[-You Su: What are the results of the appraisal? ]
Ying Chenlin was about to reply when the appraisal table in the distance suddenly lit up and the appraiser nodded at him: "Mr. Ying, this way please."
Inside the waiting area, there is a more private meeting room.
After Ying Chenlin sat down, a manager in formal attire walked up to him and placed three special data tablets in front of Ying Chenlin. Golden identification marks were lit on the front pages of the data tablets.
"Hello, Mr. Ying, I am the person in charge of your appraisal results this time." The manager said, "The appraisal data has been recorded on these three data boards. From left to right, they are the Thunder and Fire dual-attribute attack energy crystals, the Earth attribute auxiliary energy crystals, and the Wind and Thunder dual-attribute attack energy crystals."
Ying Chenlin knew that there was a dual-attribute supernatural crystal of thunder and fire in the inheritance left by his father?
Ying Chenlin took the dual-attribute supernatural crystal data board first, and the identification information was displayed as soon as he opened it.
The manager said at the right time: "We have tested many S-level supernatural crystals with dual attack supernatural powers. The power of this supernatural crystal ranks among the top ten supernatural crystals we have tested."
S-level supernatural crystal [wind][thunder], supernatural power [hurricane][sky thunder]. The supernatural hurricane can form a large-scale wind tornado, and the condensed wind tornado has powerful destructive power; the sky thunder, after stimulation, triggers a large-scale lightning attack, and the lightning strike is extremely powerful.
The description of offensive powers is relatively simple, without complex descriptions of their effects. It only indicates the attack level of the power in the power section. This dual-attribute supernatural crystal is very special. Both of its supernatural powers tend to attack on a large scale and are extremely powerful. Just by looking at the power level of a supernatural crystal like this, one can predict how destructive the pollutant would have been when it was alive.
And this supernatural crystal was left by his father Ying Lingfeng...
Ying Chenlin read the entire set of data before looking at the earth attribute auxiliary energy crystal report. ②
S-level supernatural crystal [earth], supernatural power [space force field], the supernatural power can form an anti-gravity field in the area centered on itself. Ying Chenlin was a little surprised when he saw the space ability. The space ability is the rarest type of earth-attributed ability crystal, but KID has already obtained two space ability crystals... Taking itself as the range, this kind of ability is very similar to the ability crystal obtained from the mother mantis. The mother mantis's ability is space displacement, and this kind of space force field belongs to the auxiliary strengthening type.
There are also many space-enhanced weapons in the current Star Alliance, such as forming a large-scale freezing effect within a space range, changing the wind speed within a space range, or changing the magnetic field within a space range, etc. There are also superpowers such as anti-gravity fields, but this superpower has a wider spatial range. As a maintenance technician, he understands that changes in the anti-gravity field have a great impact on the movement speed and combat of the mecha.
...The two energy crystals left by his father are not simple.
"Chen Lin." Yuan's voice appeared in his mind.
Ying Chenlin came back to his senses. He put down the data tablet in his hand and reached for the last data tablet. The dual-attribute supernatural crystal that he got from Banute has been in his hands for a long time. Although it was brought out by the sharp-toothed rat, Ying Chenlin always felt that this supernatural crystal was inseparable from Banute's Nine Dragon Vine.
As soon as the data board was opened, Ying Chenlin noticed the three words "Do not extinguish the fire" at the front -
S-level supernatural crystal [fire][thunder], supernatural [eternal fire][lightning], supernatural eternal fire can form a long-lasting flame with a range burning effect; supernatural lightning, a special type of lightning that cannot be captured by energy and has strong destructive power.
The eternal flame...? Ying Chenlin thought about how much fire energy Yuan had absorbed from it, but this energy crystal had not broken until now. This was probably thanks to the entire immortal fire.
The abilities of the two pollutants in the symbiotic relationship in the Banut contaminated area were [Regeneration] and [Devouring].
Special powers rarely appear in a small polluted area like Banut, but a rare [devouring] plant-type pollutant with special powers was bred. Ying Chenlin remembered that the energy-devouring crystal had a lighter pink luster and also showed a small flash of lightning. I'm afraid that the pollutant that devoured the superpowers grew rapidly from the energy it absorbed from this superpower crystal...
"We categorize this energy crystal as an S-level attack type because its energy power ranks among the top attack-type energy crystals." The manager continued, "But both of its energy powers carry special functional effects. To be precise, it is a functional attack energy crystal."
Ying Chenlin's gaze stayed on a supernatural lightning under the Eternal Fire, a lightning that could not be captured by any energy source. What kind of monster was this prototype pollutant of the supernatural crystal?
"Is this type of supernatural power rare?" Ying Chenlin asked.
"We at Xingxiu Club don't judge energy crystals based on their energy, but rather their comprehensive data," the manager answered. "Based on our Xingxiu Club's data and the overall data of these energy crystals, the three energy crystals you brought here for testing today are all very rare. The rarest one should be the wind and thunder dual-attribute energy crystal, followed by this one, and the last one is the space force field."
Ying Chenlin looked at the three data tablets thoughtfully, and suddenly, the light brain in his arms vibrated.
He came to his senses, opened his computer and saw You Su had sent a question mark in the chat box that was not closed. He switched to another page and saw that the people in the group were concerned about what happened to him.
Ying Chenlin then noticed that he had been in this reception room for more than an hour, and the manager sitting opposite him had no intention of urging him at all.
Seeing that Ying Chenlin seemed ready to leave, the manager handed the three energy crystals on the robot tray back to Ying Chenlin, "Hello, Mr. Ying, the identification process of these three energy crystals is complicated. Our agency estimated that the prices for them are 7 million, 8.5 million, and 9.85 million respectively. The total here is 25.35 million."
Ying Chenlin's hand that was transferring the money paused for a moment.
-*
Outside the confidential identification area, the longer Ying Shen Lin went in, the longer people outside the venue would watch him.
Lin Yao asked, "Do we have to pay more money inside? Does Shen Lin have enough money?"
"Is that enough?" Ji Qingfeng was checking the group messages. "He didn't ask us for help. Could it be that he wasn't even allowed to bring a laptop in?"
Huo Yan crossed his arms and looked into the distance with concern: "Wait a little longer.
Wait, if it doesn’t work, let’s go in and take a look. Didn’t the EM group just go in as a group of people? ”
You Su lowered his head and scrolled through the messages on his laptop. He sent two messages but received no reply.
He frowned slightly, and just as he looked up, he noticed movement in the opposite passage. A boy came out quickly, judged their position with his eyes, and quickly walked towards them.
"So long?" You Su asked.
Ying Chenlin: "Well, it took a little longer..."
While KID and a few others were communicating here, a businessman came over and seemed to want to find out something.
Ying Chenlin found that the way people around him looked at them had become a little different. Huo Yan, who was next to him, stepped in front of Ying Chenlin slightly, and KID and the others did not stay in the appraisal room. When walking out, Ying Chenlin noticed that several mecha masters he cared about in the appraisal center were gone.
The Xingxiu Club is a special appreciation club. They can only enter with the admission ticket from Mr. Qiu. Other mecha masters who can enter either have extraordinary status or have their own network of contacts. Identity was not the issue they wanted to explore. What made Ying Chenlin feel the gap was the disparity between the mecha bases. The Xingxiu Club seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg.
He followed KID's men outside, and when he passed the gambling stone field, he found that there were more people around the field, including a man with golden hair.
As if noticing Ying Chenlin's gaze, Norbert in the crowd raised his hand and greeted him, "Hi."
Ji Qingfeng: "Fuck, PJT is really rich, how many did Norbert buy?"
Lin Yao looked over enviously: "I want to gamble too."
Ji Qingfeng immediately stopped him: "What are you betting on? A big bet will bankrupt you! Children, don't learn this nonsense!"
You Su saw Ying Chenlin still looking at the gambling stone field over there, "Want to play again?"
Ying Chenlin hurriedly shook his head and covered his laptop slightly, "No."
This kind of luck-seeking thing will only lead to money-spending if one is greedy for profit. Ying Chenlin tested the two energy crystals simply out of curiosity. If he really wanted to identify them, he still had several more that had not been identified.
The KID group was short of money, and as the head of the family, Huo Yan knew this very well, so he quickly dragged a few curious people away.
Someone in the crowd at the gambling stone field said, "KID's people are gone."
After Norbert selected two energy crystals, he looked up and saw that KID was gone. "What a shame! I wanted to talk to Sink."
The mecha master next to him said, "You pay a lot of attention to this base."
"Of course, I'm interested in sink and yuan."
Norbert: "The message I sent to their customer service has not been opened yet. I should have asked sink for a contact number earlier."
"Just now, two S-class mechas in KID responded. The gunner mecha master who has been following the sink is not simple. He noticed us. Besides us, it seems that there are several groups of people asking about KID..." The mecha master saw Norbert took another one, and his eyebrows jumped: "Norbert, you are still not satisfied after 30?"
Among the crowd, the well-informed guests have already received the news.
"KID? Which galaxy?"
"The First Star Region Dawn is not very famous."
"Why would such a small base come to Xingxiu Club? Have you found out who the mecha master with the mechanical arm is...?"
"It took some effort...but the identity of that mecha master is indeed not simple."
A businessman dug up some information and found out, "The only single-player Grand Slam winner, sink."
KID didn't know that others were already investigating them. After leaving the gambling stone field, they went to the exhibition hall. After looking around, they either didn't like anything or found it was too expensive to buy. They strolled around until the exhibition was almost over. The auction the next day had nothing to do with them, so as the auction was about to close, with the help of Ji Qingfeng's bargaining skills, they bought another S-level supernatural crystal.
S-grade water-based sea coral supernatural crystal, its supernatural power is [Dissolution], which can dissolve most substances.
This energy crystal may seem to be of little use, but in fact its ablative effect can also make it into a shield weapon. Huo Yan's devouring shield was severely damaged in Koria and could no longer be used, and the S-level devouring energy is extremely rare. Although ablation cannot be used as devouring, its special effect may have a powerful dissolving effect on attacks from artillery weapons.
This sea coral cost nearly 40 million, and Ji Qingfeng felt the pain: "We didn't cherish the Devouring Shield back then."
Huo Yan smiled and said, "S-level toughness is also very expensive, because tanks and mechas are in demand, and the price of defense-type abilities has not come down."
The remaining money was not spent, and KID waited for the auction the next day in the hope of finding a bargain.
As a result, the first energy crystal at the auction was sold at a high price of over 100 million. The auctions here were completely different from those outside. The lowest price was never lower than 150 million, which directly scared KID, who had only more than 30 million in savings, away.
Everyone looked at the hidden big money sponsor among them. However, the few wind-attributed energy crystals offered at the auction were all auxiliary or functional types. For You Su, who only pursued wind-attribute attacks, these energy crystals did not arouse his interest.
Seeing that Ying Chenlin was unmoved by these energy crystals, You Su was surprised and asked, "Not interested?"
Ying Chenlin shook his head, "It's too expensive."
KID and his friends watched a luxurious auction. After that, they did not stay at the Xingxiu Club. Instead, they wandered around the Silver Moon Galaxy for a long time and bought some local specialties for other people in KID's base. Then Boss Zhou's spaceship came to the Silver Moon Galaxy to pick them up.
After returning to Boss Zhou's spaceship, they summarized their gains. They bargained for three S-grade energy crystals, and Ying Chenlin gambled on one S-grade and one A-grade stone. Huo Yan knew that Ying Chenlin bought these energy crystals for use in the base, so he reimbursed him 20 million star coins. After the final settlement, they still had several million star coins left.
Lin Yao: "Will we make a lot of money in the future?"
Ying Chenlin filled his treasury with some money, and he said, "Really?"
Huo Yan encouraged: "Work harder. I heard that the prize money for the champion of last season's Star Alliance Tournament was even higher."
Ji Qingfeng asked: "When we return to Sirius, can we use these star coins to buy discounted materials?"
Lu Xi: "Everything in the Fifth Star Region is too expensive. We can go to the materials market to have a look."
KID, who had nothing to do, started to make calculations on the way back, and arranged the remaining millions of star coins in a clear manner. After arranging the money matters, they did not forget to watch the videos of other teams' promotion matches as Jiang Simiao asked them to do.
It was already late when Ying Chenlin and You Su returned to the room on the spaceship. You Su went to take a shower first, and Ying Chenlin sat on the bed, with the vast universe beside him.
He looked at the scenery outside in a daze, and finally came to his senses and poured out a few energy crystals from the storage device.
The two energy crystals that Ying Lingfeng left for him fell beside his legs. Ying Chenlin moved them with his hands. For some reason, when the identification results came out, he particularly wanted to see his father. He was not satisfied with just listening to the description of outsiders, but wanted to actually see this person.
When You Su came out of the shower, he saw Ying Chenlin lying on the bed, "Go take a shower."
Ying Chenlin didn't respond to him. You Su stopped wiping his hair and walked over to find that Ying Chenlin had fallen asleep.
The child was sleeping curled up, with a few energy crystals next to his hands, as if he had not had time to put them away.
So sleepy?
You Su frowned slightly when he saw this, walked over to put the energy crystals into the bedside table, and pulled the quilt next to it to cover the person.
At this moment, a few drops of water from his hair accidentally fell onto Ying Chenlin's face.
You Su's movements paused, and his gaze stopped on Ying Chenlin's face.
A long time passed and the person on the bed didn't wake up.
You Su half-closed his eyes and gently wiped away the few drops of water.
Ying Chenlin slept very soundly and only noticed the quilt on him when he woke up. He glanced sideways and saw the energy crystal on the bedside table. You Su's bed not far away was empty.
He put away the energy crystal and walked to the bathroom where he ran into a tall figure.
The man stood in front of the bathroom mirror, his upper body exposed, a huge scar on his back clearly visible.
Hearing the noise, he looked back and asked, "Awake?"
Ying Chenlin nodded, his eyes unable to help but stop on the scar on You Su's back.
However, the man quickly finished washing up and put on the T-shirt behind him to cover the scar: "After washing up, change into thicker clothes. We will get off the spaceship soon."
When Boss Zhou heard that KID wanted to buy materials and passed through a star system in the First Star Region, he enthusiastically took them to have a look. KID's money was completely used up before he returned to Shuguang. When he returned to the base, Shen Xingtang was not surprised to hear the result. He thanked Boss Zhou a few times and dragged KID and others to the conference room. ^o^This ^o^ is produced as ^o^ product ^o^ by ^o^
The local specialties bought from the Silver Moon Galaxy had already been divided up when they arrived at the base. Jiang Simiao heard Ying Chenlin gambling on stones and Ji Qingfeng arguing and bargaining with others, and thought that if this group of people did the same in the Dawn Galaxy, they would have made the headlines long ago.
Shen Xingtang: "You still have some conscience and know how to buy local specialties."
KID and his friends felt guilty and were too embarrassed to say that they only bought the cheapest local specialties.
Jiang Simiao pointed at the virtual screen, and the blue sea appeared in front of everyone. "We have bought the specialties and visited the appreciation meeting. It's time to talk about business."
Lin Yao asked: "The border troops are giving out bonuses again?"
Shen Xingtang: “…”
Ji Qingfeng: "This place is quite beautiful. Could it be that our base has funding for team building?"
"What bonuses? What team building? We didn't bother you these days because you were out there. You didn't forget about the ranking competition after being out for a few days, did you?" Jiang Simiao pointed to the sea and said seriously, "This is the contaminated area for the next competition, the Agaman Sea Star Contaminated Area."
"Congratulations, this contaminated area was carefully selected by the alliance."
It was hard to tell whether Jiang Simiao's tone was happy or sad. "99% of the polluted area is water. It can be said that there is no land."
KID mecha masters: “?”
The author has something to say:
I'm late, I just finished writing.
See you tonight.
