Chapter 144 The Big One is Coming (33)

The visitor was an acquaintance.

The dark-skinned, tall, middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman smiled when he heard Ian's greeting, and walked into the store with a bulging sack in his hand.

"It's Uncle Sai Nan."

Walking down the stairs, Ian actually knew who the visitor was by virtue of the sand armor apprentice's sense of the earth's footsteps.

But he still pretended to be pleasantly surprised, leaning on the escalator and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you. I thought that Uncle Sai Nan would never bother to go ashore after you had your own long-distance fishing boat."

Sai Nan was the first fisherman who rushed over to save someone when Ian killed the priest and burned down the old house on the first day of Ian's awakening memory.

After that, Ian was given a monster-level salmon, which allowed Ian to recover his strength immediately.

Although he did have ulterior motives, but he was able to brave the fire to save people, no matter what the reason was, he was sincere.

Not to mention the gift of fish later, Ian is willing to accept it.

Over the past few years, Sai Nan has become the captain of a long-distance fishing boat in the white room fleet. He is warm and protective, and is very respected and loved by sailors and fishermen.

"Hey, didn't I also give a big anemone to little Elan's birthday last time?"

Hearing Ian's words, the black-skinned and white-haired fisherman showed a row of snow-white teeth. He laughed heartily and said, "Look, whenever I have something to do this time, I didn't even think about it, and I just came to see you!"

"... Sea anemones are not plants. Elan likes flowers and plants, but sea anemones... can only be said to be really delicious."

Hearing Sai Nan's words, Ian almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

The sea anemone that the newly promoted captain gave last time was indeed very beautiful. It was colorful and fluorescent, and it was not poisonous. Obviously, it took a lot of effort.

But this thing is really not a flower, and it can't be kept alive in the fish tank. In the end, Ian boiled a pot of soup into the stomachs of the two brothers, which can be regarded as living up to Sai Nan's painstaking efforts.

"It's good as long as it's delicious. I'm a rough person, and I don't understand these things."

The cheerful fisherman with thick eyebrows and squinting eyes raised the sack from the ground. His exposed skin was darkened by the sun. It is obvious that he has been running on the sea recently-if the physique of Bai Zhimin is not exposed to the sun often, it will be a few weeks at most. It will fade and fully restore within a few years.

If you observe carefully, you can still see some solid blue-black scales on the back of the fisherman's ears and neck, and his fingernails are even sharper and firmer, making him look a bit ferocious.

Unlocking the mouth of the sack, Sai Nan showed Ian the contents inside, and said seriously: "This time, I will ask Ian to help you take a look. Is this bag of fluorescent algae worth money or not!"

despair.With the algae exposed, the somewhat dark interior of the grocery store was immediately illuminated, as if white oil lamps were lit.

"Hmm... fluorescent algae." Ian nodded slightly, and he murmured.

He noticed that although Sai Nan looked quite cheerful on the surface, the details of his body were very tense.

Ian didn't even need to activate his psychic power. Using the silver chip, he could find that the knuckles of the other party's fingers holding the bag were a little white, and his breathing was quite heavy.

——Looks like something really big is going to happen, even a character like Sai Nan will be nervous.

"This brightness... Uncle Sai Nan, the quality is quite good, it should be regarded as sublimation material."

Casually, Ian narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't know it at the beginning, but he can see now that one of Sai Nan's ancestors probably had a murloc or mermaid from Whale Song Cliff, so he was so adaptable to the ocean and possessed The atavistic characteristics of these fish and lizards are just like the characteristics of dwarves in Elder Purdue.

If given the chance, Sai Nan could become a sublimator.

But the important thing is not this, but the current state of the opponent.

"—He's lying to me, he's definitely not here to judge whether this bag of fluorescent algae is worth money or not."

Ian can be sure.

He and Sai Nan are acquaintances, and it is not once or twice to help appraise the catch. Every time he appraises a monster-level catch, the other party will also give a reward generously, and Ian always says "everyone It's Bai Zhimin' "You saved my life and gave me a fish" as a reason to reject most of them.

And Sai Nan will always give gifts that are hard to refuse on other occasions, such as Elan's birthday, when Ian has won the junior alchemist qualification certificate.

The relationship between them has been settled for six years. Even Ian himself, who is cautious and alienated from others, thinks that the other party is a real 'friend', not to mention Sai Nan, who is warm and hearty. Woolen cloth?
Why would the other party deceive themselves?

Suppressing his doubts for the time being, Ian picked up the bag of fluorescent algae, picked out one to observe carefully, and said, "I'm going to bring one up for identification...is it okay?"

He observed Sai Nan's actions from the corner of his eye.

The other party's movements were obviously stunned for a moment, and then he said with some hesitation: "Ah, well...it should be fine...no problem!"

He seemed to be recalling some rules and warnings, and after confirming that Ian's behavior was allowed, he smiled from the bottom of his heart and responded.

"As entrusted by someone, do you want me to identify you as an intermediary?"

Ian nodded slightly, and he saw some clues.

The Bai people help each other, and all kinds of industries will give discounts to each other, and some services don't even cost money - Ian's appraisal fee is not cheap, but it is quite affordable for the same clan.

This is a normal situation on the land of Terra. Maybe there is no such rule among different families of the same family, but within the family with the same blood, they only charge the cost price.

Occasionally, Ian would choose a day on the ancestor sacrifice day, and give out free appraisals to the clansmen, or give away some small props made by himself.

Of course, such free and reduced exemptions are only for the same race.

If someone wants to shop for someone else and testify for someone else, that is taking advantage of his brothers and sisters, and he will be severely punished by Elder Pude.

"Forget it, I will explain it to him later and give him a favor—I personally don't mind discounting it, but the rules still have to be followed."

Ian shook his head slightly and sighed: "People are so sophisticated."

As the successor of Elder Pude in the future, he will naturally be the new leader of the Bai people, the new elder, to maintain this set of rules...Of course, it is naturally narrow and meaningless to only limit the benefits of the same clan, but this is also the future' At the beginning of the membership system, he had already had a complete promotion plan.

After all, Ian is not an elder yet, so he doesn't plan to change.

I will warn Sai Nan about this kind of behavior later, and just don't do it again next time.

A man like him can't learn to lie.

Identification naturally requires professional tools, but Ian generally does not need them. He said that he would take them upstairs to see, just to conceal the fact that he owns the silver chip.

But this doesn't mean that Ian won't go through the normal identification process—even if he doesn't have the chip and the vision of vision, his professional level is in line with his qualification certificate.

This is the professional level of the new era of credentialing!

But today, there is no need to actually turn on various instruments, such as microlens distillation apparatus vacuum cabinets and the like for testing.

After Ian went upstairs, he casually started a pulverizer that consumes the least energy and made a bang bang bang.

Then, he turned on the vision vision and the silver chip, and stared at the fluorescent algae placed on the workbench.

Immediately, the piece of wet seaweed that was still wriggling and exuding a pale white shimmer was thoroughly dissected under the light of the silver-blue shimmer in the young man's eyes.

The silver data font appeared in front of my eyes.

[Taixi Fluorescent Algae (high spiritual environment mutant strain)]

[The first energy level Psionic Plant·Advanced]

[The psionic evolution of Taixi green algae living in the tropical coastal waters will release a slight pheromone in the middle of the night to lure the surrounding small shallow water creatures to approach, and capture them with their own leaves. The flashing fluorescent seaweed juice is corrosive and trace Toxicity, after treatment, it can be used to make medium and high-level glossy inks, generally used to engrave runes, or augment materials, and display psionic skills]

[The mutation of this kind of algae generally originates from the large-scale and rapid changes of the surrounding spiritual energy field, which is often seen in the formation of mazes, the migration of Titan creatures, natural disasters, violent geological changes, etc., before changes in the spiritual energy field]

[Warning, if the mutant species is generated on a large scale, you need to be cautious about the mutation of the surrounding environment]

The light blue mist fluttered in front of his eyes, mixed with traces of scarlet ripples.

Ian frowned.

"Interesting, behind this algae, can several lives be involved in the future?"

His expression gradually turned solemn: "At first, I thought it was just a small matter of identifying fraudulent discounts for others..."

"But looking at it now, the big one is really coming."
