Over twenty thousand unread messages lay in Ye Bai's voicemail.

  And that number was still skyrocketing, showing no signs of stopping!

  Ye Bai had no choice but to set aside the Lone Wolf Medal for now, turn on his computer, and log into the Wolf's Den forum.

  As soon as he clicked into the forum, he saw a bold, flaming title.

  [Paid Equipment Appraisal, Including Hidden Attributes, Price Negotiable...]

  "Strange, wasn't this post made in the morning?"

  Ye Bai remembered clearly that he wanted to appraise equipment to earn money and lift the bloodline restriction of the Anti-Magic Disc.

  After posting, the response was lukewarm, with only Li Xiaoping reaching out.

  "Let's see what's going on."

  Ye Bai scrolled through the post quickly with his mouse.

  In the first half, most people thought it was a bait post, with only a user named [BigBigBigBig] leaving a comment wanting an appraisal.

  Originally, the matter would have ended there, and Ye Bai's post would have slowly sunk.

  In the afternoon, the user [BigBigBigBig] posted again, stating that the equipment had been appraised and thanking the original poster, wishing they could give a fifty-star review.

  This immediately sparked a new wave of interest!

  Some were swayed, while others doubted that [BigBigBigBig] was a shill, performing a double act to fish for attention.

  [BigBigBigBig]: "We made the transaction in the Trade Secret Realm, here's a copy of the transaction contract!"

  When the transaction contract was shown, most people fell silent.

  This was something that couldn't be faked!

  Even so, they still held doubts about the appraisal ability of a 'first-tier Warrior.'

  Until another user, [Seize the Day], posted.

  [Seize the Day]: "The original poster's appraisal ability is at least Master level, personally tested!"

  A short sentence that instantly ignited the entire Wolf's Den forum, sparking countless discussions.

  "Did I see that right, [Seize the Day] posted!"

  "He's a forging master, even if the things he forges have a time limit, he's still a bona fide forging master!"

  Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  "Hiss—so the original poster really is a Master-level appraiser! This isn't fishing; it's blowing up the fish pond!"

  "Bless the original poster, may you live a long life, help my old Wang appraise a piece of equipment!"

  "Get lost, I was here first, original poster, I have a Battle King-level weapon..."

  "......"

  From then on, it was unstoppable.

  After watching the whole farce, Ye Bai felt a bit helpless.

  The flowers you plant with care may not bloom, but the willows you plant without intention may grow into shade.

  Posting this was originally to solve his own money problem.

  Now, Ye Bai had a list of reports in his hands, each worth 100,000 Gold Coins, soon to be his.

  For now, money was not an issue.

  "However, charging for appraisals is also a steady stream of income."

  Ye Bai thought to himself.

  "Reporting is a one-time deal; a person can't be reported twice."

  As Ye Bai's strength increased, his consumption of various resources would also grow!

  If converted into Gold Coins, it would be an astronomical figure.

  A horse doesn't get fat without night grass, and a person doesn't gain weight without midnight snacks.

  Having a stable side income is a sure-win deal for Ye Bai.

  Having made up his mind, Ye Bai dialed the Wolf's Den hotline again.

  "Hello, how can I assist you?"

  "I'd like to cancel the commission I posted this morning, or rather... modify it."

  "Alright, what would you like to change it to?"

  "I can appraise equipment for people, and the payment is as follows: a Battle King-level expert inscribes a forbidden spell on a special item; forge a melee weapon with potential up to Battle King-level; repair the durability of a special item.

  Choose any one of these three."

  Ye Bai stated his requirements, things that couldn't be measured in Gold Coins, opting for bartering on the forum instead.

  "And please add that I can appraise 5 pieces of equipment/items per day, with 2 opportunities left today."

  "Alright, I'm registering it for you, please hold on..."

  Ye Bai had already drafted this script in his mind.

  He knew very well that if he could appraise equipment for people an unlimited number of times, it would surely attract higher-level attention and unnecessary trouble.

  Thus, Ye Bai came up with a disguise!

  The [Eye of Insight] always looked down on the [Sharp Eye], an S Rank Talent!

  Originally, [Sharp Eye] could only be used three times a day.

  But Ye Bai noticed in the notes that [Sharp Eye] could be trained and enhanced, allowing for up to nine uses!

  Ye Bai publicly claimed he could appraise five pieces of equipment a day, which was within the normal range.

  In the eyes of these Lone Wolves, there was a 99.99% chance that Ye Bai had the S Rank Talent [Sharp Eye].

  [An SSS Rank Talent having to disguise as an S Rank, the world is going downhill, and people are losing their morals!]

  Clearly, the [Eye of Insight] was very dissatisfied with Ye Bai's actions and protested.

  Protest denied.

  "It's been modified for you. If there are any related messages, they will be forwarded to your voicemail."

  "Thank you."

  After hanging up, Ye Bai cleared all the previous twenty thousand messages.

  His new threshold was enough to filter out the vast majority of people.

  The three requirements, each more demanding than the last, with the simplest needing a Battle King-level expert!

  Even so, Ye Bai quickly received nearly ten messages, which he browsed one by one.

  "I can get a Battle King-level Priest to inscribe a Priest's forbidden spell!"

  "I can repair items, increasing durability by 10-30 points, hoping to exchange for 2 equipment appraisals."

  "Forge a melee weapon with Battle King potential, materials provided, price negotiable."

  "......."

  Ye Bai filtered through them, prioritizing based on his immediate needs.

  "Equipment forging, I'll leave that for later. I only have one main material on hand, and I don't have any ideas for what equipment to forge yet."

  "Durability... the Scroll of Forbidden Spells still has 55 durability, usable 11 more times, so that can wait."

  What Ye Bai needed most right now was the inscription of a forbidden spell!

  From the messages, Ye Bai selected two people and sent them invitations to meet.

  One of them quickly responded,

  "No problem, I'll be waiting for you in the Trade Secret Realm!"

  Ye Bai didn't think much of it and directly activated the Tower Mark to enter the Trade Secret Realm.

  A mass of blue flames waited at the agreed location.

  The first glance Ye Bai took at the person, a note appeared above Qingyan's head:

  [Liu Qingyan, Liu Xueqi's grandfather, Battle King-level expert, Blazing Berserker...]

  "Ah, this."

  Ye Bai didn't expect to meet Liu Xueqi's grandfather here!

  "Whatever, he doesn't know my real identity anyway, just inscribe a warrior's forbidden spell."

  "At worst, I won't do business with this old man in the future."

  Ye Bai braced himself and walked forward.

  It was his first time dealing directly with a Battle King-level expert.

  The legendary Battle King, with the power to change the world, and the best among them could even conquer some lower planes!

  Seeing Ye Bai approach, Battle King Qingyan guessed his identity and respectfully said,

  "Master, greetings!"

  Hiss—

  Ye Bai smiled knowingly.

  Young man, I have high hopes for you!

  If you can talk, say more!
