Chapter 959: Identification Results, Identity and Status
In the VIP room of the appraisal institute, Lin Yu and Siyue sat on soft sponge chairs and took off their breathing masks.
Since the "VIP Room" of the appraisal institute in the Siren King's Capital will definitely receive guests of different races, it is natural to drain the seawater from the room and inject air.
Not long after I savored the snacks made from dried scallops, the door to the VIP room opened.
The siren appraiser wearing the "water cavity helmet" walked into the room. From the other party's old gait, Lin Yu could recognize it...
The other party's status should be very high.
"Two, two humans," the old siren appraiser said, "I heard you two are from the Middle Sea... What do you want to appraise?"
"A 'tentacle of the Ink-Black Double-Headed Seal' and a 'steak' gifted by God."
Lin Yu said this and placed his spoils on the table in front of him.
"Ingredients and finished dishes?" The Siren Appraiser's expression became even more solemn. "As expected of someone from the Middle Sea, even if they're selling anything, they only sell the finest items."
In Jingxu, perhaps because of the interests of the gods here, the people here attach great importance to "food". High-quality ingredients are like gold, which is a hard currency, and excellent chefs are regarded as the most superior artists.
Therefore, selling exquisite food and excellent ingredients is quite a "luxury".
The mermaid appraiser took out his clip-on glasses from his bosom and put them on. He carefully approached the black tentacle on the left, pinched the tip of the tentacle with tweezers, and then pricked it with a long needle. His expression became more solemn.
"What an incredible size and density! This 'Ink Black Double-Headed Seal' is the hundred-meter-long one from the Mermaid Kingdom," the Siren Appraiser said seriously. "You two..."
Lin Yu nodded calmly: "Yes, it attacked me when I was passing through its territory, so I killed it."
"Although there are places in the Middle Sea where these black double-headed seals are directly farmed, wild ones are still more flavorful."
Looking at the expression of the siren appraiser, he knew that the other party seemed to be unaware of too many details.
The Siren Appraiser nodded calmly and said, "Then the tentacle is indeed worth a lot. I'll issue you a certificate stating it's a 'premium ingredient.' I recommend selling it at the Tidewalk Festival for around 50,000 to 70,000 Siren Shells."
Lin Yu took out the tentacle to sell at this moment, and also wanted to test at this Tide Festival what kind of conspiracy was hidden behind the sinking of the "Lucky Golden Dragon".
Although this seems like an ordinary attack by the Siren, Lin Yu will definitely not be so optimistic as to treat it as an isolated incident and let it go before finding solid evidence.
Lin Yu felt that if conditions permitted, it would be best to find out the "truth" of the attack as much as possible, in case when he was collecting [Mermaid Tears] and confronting the mermaid royal family, he would be stabbed in the back by a mermaid who suddenly appeared out of nowhere for some funny reason that he had no idea about.
"As long as we sell this thing, if a siren shows any unusual reaction to it, we can follow up and investigate."
This is blatant fishing.
Precisely because this is only used mainly for fishing, Lin Yu's plan to use the "Tide Festival" transaction to elevate his status does not rely on this thing to be realized.
He relied more on the "delicious steak" that he summoned using the reusable delicious paper.
With unreserved use, the home advantage of delicious paper, and a little bit of "luck", Lin Yu realized when it fell into his hands that the quality of this food... was definitely not inferior to the dessert he had eaten at that time that gave him the [Sweet Luck] buff.
And that dessert was a delicacy made with great care by Hannah's sixth uncle, "Ka", the chosen one of the God of Banquets in the Pure Ruins Realm, who is very skilled in cooking and cuisine.
Although limited by time, venue and subject matter, perhaps that was not Ka's best dish.
However, if such a delicacy of the same level is sold at the Tide Festival in Jingxu, it will definitely not be cheap.
The siren appraiser was already very cautious when he was appraising the tentacles just now.
At this moment, facing this piece of steak, he didn't dare to neglect it at all - after all, the name "God's Gift" mentioned by Lin Yu just now was scary enough.
Therefore, the appraiser took out a pair of tweezers that looked smaller, carefully moved the steak, and shone a flashlight on the surface of the steak.
The grill marks and the texture of the high-quality steak intertwine together, like a beautiful chessboard polished from precious wood.
[Reusable delicious paper] The food summoned has an almost cheating shelf life. This conceptual food has its own freshness and heat preservation function, which can lock in the best taste and flavor. Even though Lin Yu has summoned it for a long time, its temperature still hasn't lost too much.
The fact that the steak is still steaming hot, tender and juicy when it is served on the table is enough to prove its value.
The tweezers gently pressed the steak, and the fragrance penetrated the water cavity helmet, making the siren appraiser look intoxicated.
"This... is indeed delicious!"
"Top-quality ingredients, top-notch cooking, and near-perfect technique. Furthermore, the meat is sourced from a world beyond Jingxu, and the chef must be the most accomplished chef in Jingxu. For this, I can issue you a top-tier certification: 'Rare in the World.' In fact, this delicacy doesn't even need my expertise; anyone with even a modicum of common sense can tell how precious it is."
"But I can't give you any advice on how to value it... I think it would be best if you put it up for auction at the Tidewalk."
The Siren Appraiser said this with an intoxicated look on his face.
"I have to thank you for letting me see such a wonderful delicacy. This is definitely in the top ten of my appraisal career."
"Excuse me, but why do you want to sell it?"
Lin Yu nodded slightly when he heard this.
“If delicious food is not enjoyed, it has no meaning.”
"This level of delicacy is rare, but it's not like I haven't tasted it before. It's a rare opportunity to come to the open sea and participate in the Tide Tracing Festival, so I feel it's my duty to let more people experience it."
The Siren Appraiser was in awe: "What a great idea."
"I wouldn't say it's that great. After all, I'm planning to make some money, and I also want to buy something at this Tide Festival."
As Lin Yu spoke, the mermaid appraiser became curious.
"What you want is..."
"I'm very interested in the 'Lost Treasure,'" Lin Yu said casually, then lowered his voice. "Of course, more importantly... I hope to acquire some less common materials, such as [Mermaid's Tears]!"
