Chapter 723: 506. The Gold Content of Dragonfly Captain_2

Then, it did several backflips in succession, jumping all the way to the edge of the restriction barrier.

Seeing this, Garcia had a thought, but after some calculations, he gave up the idea of taking action.

"Tch."

Seeing that he didn’t take the bait, both Dragonfly Captain and Liu Zheng showed a trace of disappointment in their eyes.

"Dragonfly Captain’s dart!"

Dragonfly Captain tore off a small piece of armor, which transformed into a dart with a flick.

With a backhand throw, the dart flew straight toward the carousel and pierced a specific area.

"Stop!"

Dragonfly Captain shouted, and the carousel stopped in response.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the carousel, where the area pierced by the dart prominently displayed two large characters.

"Appraisal."

"I, the referee, announce that the project for this competition is ’Appraisal’!"

As Dragonfly Captain finished speaking, a smile had already spread across Garcia’s face beneath his iron mask.

His apparent identity was that of an appraiser, and, moreover, he inherited the knowledge passed down by the Three-Eyed Clan for generations. Competing in appraisal against a delivery man, he couldn’t imagine how he would lose.

"Now, let me announce the competition rules."

"First, the use of any supernatural abilities is prohibited."

"Second, the use of any extraordinary items is prohibited."

"Third, assistance from others is not allowed."

"Fourth, interference with other contestants is prohibited."

...

"Now, let me announce the competition process."

After stating the rules for a full five minutes, Dragonfly Captain finally moved on to the next stage.

"This competition will take turns, with each person taking turns to present an extraordinary item for the other to appraise. The one who fails to appraise first loses, and the opponent wins."

"The order will be determined by my coin toss."

"I’m done. Do you have any questions?"

It asked.

"I have a question."

Liu Zheng was the first to raise a tentacle.

"Please speak."

"He’s a descendant of the so-called Three-Eyed Clan, with forbidden knowledge inherent in his bloodline. Is this within the prohibited range?"

He asked.

"Knowledge from bloodline inheritance is not considered a supernatural ability, so it is not within the prohibited range."

Dragonfly Captain gave him an empathetic look.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng pouted in disappointment.

"I have a question too."

Garcia also raised his hand.

"Speak."

Dragonfly Captain’s tone towards him was not as good.

"How do you know if our appraisal result is correct or incorrect?"

Garcia was indifferent to its attitude.

"As a referee robot, my intuition will tell me."

Dragonfly Captain replied.

"Then my second question is, you’re clearly familiar with this human; how can I be sure you won’t favor him during the competition?"

Garcia continued to ask.

"I guarantee it with my personality as a referee robot."

Dragonfly Captain stated loudly.

"Then, I have no more questions."

Faced with such a vague answer, Garcia actually chose to acknowledge it.

"Alright, then let the competition begin."

Dragonfly Captain gestured, and the carousel transformed into a referee stick and landed in its hand.

Then it tore off another piece of armor, which became a shiny coin.

"Heads means the delivery man goes first. Tails means the Three-Eyed Clan goes first."

After saying this, Dragonfly Captain tossed the coin into the air.

The coin spun and landed on the ground, bouncing a few times before finally stopping.

"Heads, the delivery man contestant will start first."

Dragonfly Captain pointed the microphone towards Liu Zheng.

"Can I have some time to think?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, each contestant has three minutes to make a selection and ten minutes for appraisal."

Dragonfly Captain said.

"The appraisal time is too long, can it be shortened?"

He voluntarily suggested.

"Alright, let’s shorten it to five minutes."

Dragonfly Captain readily agreed.

"I protest!"

Garcia was unhappy.

"Protest denied."

Dragonfly Captain dismissed it directly.

The shortening of the appraisal time was applied to both parties and wasn’t considered favoritism.

As for delivery time or other such factors, they are external and do not affect the fairness of the competition.

"Hmph."

Garcia snorted coldly but had no other options.

"Surprised, aren’t you?"

Liu Zheng said proudly.

If not for the fear of getting a yellow card from Dragonfly Captain, he would have used a tentacle to make a rude gesture.

"Which one to use?"

He pondered about the extraordinary items on his body, falling into deep thought.

First to be eliminated were the items related to being a Legendary delivery man, as these were easily recognizable by almost anyone.

Next were items below excellent quality; their quality was insufficient, and he feared they would be too easy to appraise.

What remained were those perfect quality items and those not yet identified by the system.

After filtering through them, only two options remained.

The laser pen and the walnut.

The former is a product of Treasure Lake and also went through a secondary fusion, guaranteeing its item level and rarity.

The latter is the suspected cause of Champion Bull’s death, something even Niu Ma couldn’t break open with brute force; its actual item level should definitely not be low.

After some thought, Liu Zheng chose the former.

"I request the opposing contestant to appraise this item."

He handed the laser pen to Dragonfly Captain.

"Alright."

Dragonfly Captain tapped the laser pen with the referee stick, and an "X"-shaped light appeared on it.

"This item has been sealed by me, making it unusable by anyone."

After announcing this, Dragonfly Captain handed the laser pen to Garcia.

"Three-Eyed Clan contestant, you may begin your appraisal. Timing starts now!"

The counter on Dragonfly Captain’s chest began counting down.

Garcia stroked the laser pen and took out a magnifying glass to examine the details on the pen’s body, muttering to himself as he did.

"Time’s up."

The counter returned to zero, and Dragonfly Captain retrieved the laser pen.

"Three-Eyed Clan contestant, please state your appraisal result."

It said.

"This was originally two similar extraordinary items, forcibly combined into one by some external force."

Garcia said confidently.

"This old geezer has some skills, indeed."

Liu Zheng muttered.

"Its function should be to unleash a certain powerful penetrating attack, but it can only be used once."

Garcia continued.

"Is that enough?"

He asked Dragonfly Captain.

"You still need to point out one key detail."

Dragonfly Captain replied.

"Hmm, it should have been nurtured in a place with strong spirituality, and their spiritual embodiment should be two cats."

After thinking for a moment, Garcia said.

"Congratulations, Three-Eyed Clan contestant, on a successful appraisal."

Dragonfly Captain said blandly.

"Next, it is the Three-Eyed Clan contestant’s turn to select an item for the delivery man contestant to appraise."

It continued.

"I choose this."

After a moment of thought, Garcia pulled out a triangular-shaped arrowhead from his black robe.

After Dragonfly Captain applied a seal, it was handed over to Liu Zheng.

"Three-Eyed Clan contestant, you may begin your appraisal. Timing starts now!"

It stated once more.

"Come on, you have to come out."

Liu Zheng anxiously chanted in his heart while taking the arrowhead.

The familiar interface appeared before his eyes, filling him with unprecedented excitement.

However, with the expression management honed from many dealings with prominent figures, he managed to contain his inner joy.

"Name: Slime Slaughter Arrow (One-time use)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Deals 200% piercing damage to enemies of the Slime race, with a chance of instant death upon a critical hit."

"Note: I will create something that causes the death of a Slime!"

Seeing the worried look on Liu Zheng’s face, Garcia felt greatly pleased inside.

This extraordinary item ranks in the top five in rarity among all his items, and its niche effect ranks in the top three.

Apart from those shadowy items, this was the second most difficult item for Garcia to appraise.

As for why he didn’t just choose the most difficult item, it’s because he wanted to give Liu Zheng a chance.

To beat Liu Zheng meant winning the competition.

To let Liu Zheng help him escape the city meant surviving.

Winning in both ways meant he would win either way.

"Time’s up."

The countdown reached zero, and Dragonfly Captain retrieved the triangular arrowhead.

"Delivery man contestant, please state your appraisal result."
