“This is an 【Incremental Berserk Potion】. Its grade is 【Epic】, and it’s currently 【Contaminated】. I recommend using a Purification item of the same grade to unseal it. Its effect is to double your strength for a short period, but it seems to be a medicine for beasts. If you use it on yourself, the side effect is that your head might grow pointed.”

“This is a 【Mimic Summoning Scroll】. Its grade is 【Fine Quality】, and it appears to be sealed by an Elven magician. You’ll need to find a large purple puff-shroom and a red tomato, then juice them and pour it onto the scroll to unseal it. It’s most likely from the instance you just went through, so it’ll be difficult to find now that you’re out.”

Teacher Tony sat on the steps of the 【Hall of Justice】.

He watched Ultraman Zero, who had simply spread out a carpet and was now lying on it.

The man’s appraisal speed was astonishing.

No, “astonishing” was a word for the laymen players who came for appraisals. For a professional Appraiser like himself, what he felt wasn’t just astonishment.

It was fear.

In just half an hour, this Ultraman Zero, who had only just registered as an Appraiser, had already successfully appraised over fifty items.

And this clearly wasn’t his top speed.

After all, once an appraisal was done, he still had to spend time explaining the details to the customer.

If he were only performing appraisals, he might have already finished over a hundred 【Sealed Items】!

Most crucially, he couldn’t see any sign of fatigue on the man at all. Every word he spoke was full of vigor. There was none of the usual listlessness that came after a massive consumption of spiritual power.

Just how low was this guy’s skill consumption?

“Uh, excuse me everyone, could you give me a moment to drink some water? I’m a little thirsty.”

Wu Wang interrupted the appraisal process. He walked over to Teacher Tony and asked, “Teacher Tony, do Appraisers get free water in the 【Hall of Justice】?”

Teacher Tony was speechless. With the Calamity Coins the man had just earned, he could buy enough water to fill the fountain next to them. And he still had the gall to ask about free water?

With a dark expression, Tony replied, “Yes, there’s a water dispenser by the front desk. But first, my name isn’t Tony. And second, how much longer do you plan on running this stall?”

Wu Wang didn’t answer right away.

He walked into the 【Hall of Justice】 and drank a few cups of free water, then glanced at the large screen in the Appraiser section.

His abstract stage name had already appeared on the list.

That screen usually displayed the status of the on-duty 【Appraisers】, showing whether they were idle or in the middle of a job. It also showed the number of commercial jobs each had completed for the day, which allowed players to conveniently choose an Appraiser and make appointments.

Right now, the entire screen was filled with Wu Wang’s name. No Appraiser had ever accepted dozens of 【Designated Commercial Jobs】 within half an hour.

And the key was, he had completed all of them.

His positive review rate was shooting straight up.

He shrugged and walked back outside. Only then did he speak.

“Alright, Teacher Tony. Once I finish the remaining fifteen jobs, I’ll be about ready to clock off. This should be enough to meet the assessment requirements for applying to be an 【Insightful One】, right?”

Teacher Tony, whose real name was Jian Buduan, sighed. Correcting the man was too exhausting.

“You?” he retorted, looking strained. “Why would you need an assessment? Even I couldn’t handle such high-intensity work! I’m starting to suspect your results are pure nonsense!”

See, this is the confidence the Abyss God has given me, Wu Wang thought with a private smile.

After all, no one could have possibly imagined it.

His Appraisal Skill really had no fucking cost.

【Vision of Truth】 was a passive skill.

But Wu Wang was truly the only one who could handle this skill. Putting aside the Abyss God’s Mental Contamination, there was another major hurdle.

Under the effect of 【Vision of Truth】, just walking through the Spirit Calamity Plaza, a place teeming with players and skill effects, was an ordeal. His eyes were constantly flooded with a dense barrage of information. On top of that, there was the three-second predictive afterimage from the 【Eye of the Prophet】.

A normal person’s brain would be completely unable to process such a massive amount of information.

But he was Wu Wang.

With his 【Undying】 status, it didn’t matter how much head-splittingly painful information there was. He could digest it all. The worst that could happen was a brief death to rest and recover.

“Excuse me, could you help me appraise this item?”

Just as Wu Wang finished his chat with Teacher Tony and was about to get back to work, a new customer approached.

A woman wearing a wizard hat and a light veil that completely obscured her face walked out from the crowd. She had a tall figure and leaned on a staff that looked like a withered tree branch. She also wore purple gloves, leaving no skin exposed.

Yet her voice was so pleasant it was a balm to the soul.

Wu Wang looked up at this woman who was brimming with a mysterious aura. The item she handed over was a crystal ball.

Combined with her attire, she looks like a fortune-teller. Are there even witch cosplayers among the players?

However, before he could take the crystal ball, a trembling voice came from beside him.

“You…”

Since he was closest, Wu Wang clearly felt Teacher Tony’s entire body begin to shake. It wasn’t a shudder of fear, but a tremor of excitement so intense it was difficult to control.

The Diviner Witch spoke faintly to Teacher Tony. “Apologies, Mr. Appraiser. I was asking him, not you.”

Wu Wang thought Teacher Tony would be angry. But unexpectedly, he nodded his head hastily. Without a word, he moved out of the way to make it easier for her to hand the crystal ball over.

Wu Wang was baffled.

What’s with this guy? he thought. Is he thinking with his lower head too? At least I’m not a complete pushover. She hasn’t even shown her face or player ID, and he’s already bending over backward for her just based on her figure.

Simps never prosper!

He rolled his eyes and took the crystal ball.

【Vision of Truth】 continued to work its magic. But as the text appeared, Wu Wang didn’t speak.

Instead, his expression turned strange.

A moment later, he sighed and tapped his personal panel, choosing to refund the commercial job the woman had paid for.

666 Calamity Coins returned to the Diviner Witch’s hands.

Wu Wang handed the crystal ball back.

“Sorry, I can’t figure it out. This doesn’t seem to be a sealed item. If you’re sure that it is, then my skills are too shallow to help you.”

The Diviner Witch took it and put it into her inventory. She spoke in a playful tone.

“You really can’t figure it out? Or is it that you don’t dare to?”

This time, Wu Wang didn’t hesitate at all.

“I really can’t!” he insisted. “I suggest you find a stronger Appraiser. I think Teacher Tony over there is pretty good.”

The moment he finished speaking, Wu Wang grabbed the nearby Teacher Tony and pulled the man in front of himself.

With swift hands, he refunded all his remaining commercial jobs. He rolled up the carpet on the ground and prepared to flee.

The reason was simple.

The first line of the crystal ball’s description had been shocking.

【Star of Ziwei (Legendary)】. It possessed partial control authority over the Supercomputing System – TaihuLight.
