Deep Sea Meteorite Herb Pestle (C)

[Appraisal Glasses (E)]

[Effect: Can be used to appraise items, monsters, etc.]

[Description: A great item that helps you quickly understand the situation anytime, anywhere. Of course, you could also try learning the Appraisal Technique magic and throw this thing on your face away.]

Hiss—

After clicking on the glasses, Lan Qingyou couldn't help but gasp when she saw their effect.

Lan Qingyou: "Name your price."

She immediately sent a message to Shang Chuan; what she lacked right now was knowledge, after all.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to collect books like Monster Studies.

If she had this thing, wouldn't many things be much more convenient in the future?

At the very least, she wouldn't have to take items to the Small Screen for appraisal every single time.

Shang Chuan: "One thousand red and blue potions each, five hundred of each Attribute Potion, and one thousand Luminous Potion."

Lan Qingyou was stunned when she saw Shang Chuan's reply.

It wasn't that it was too expensive; it was that it was too cheap—so cheap that it didn't seem like a price befitting the functionality of the Appraisal Glasses.

To be honest, even if the other party had said "half of your future production," Lan Qingyou wouldn't have thought the price was too high.

However, seeing that the glasses were only E-Rank, there must be a catch.

Lan Qingyou: "What's the problem?"

She asked straight to the point.

Shang Chuan: "The glasses only appraise based on the wearer's comprehensive knowledge."

Lan Qingyou: "Explain."

Shang Chuan: "You should know about the [Knowledge] section in your personal information, right?"

Lan Qingyou: "I do."

Shang Chuan: "If your comprehensive knowledge is E-Rank, then the scope of what the glasses can appraise is also only E-Rank. Does that make sense?"

Once Lan Qingyou saw that, how could she not understand?

In the end, knowledge really does change everything.

Does it mean the glasses can only appraise what she sees by synthesizing her own knowledge?

Lan Qingyou: "In that case, your asking price is a bit high."

Lan Qingyou said after some thought.

Since it requires the holder's own knowledge as feedback, in a sense, wouldn't this pair of glasses be completely useless?

Shang Chuan: "Not at all."

Shang Chuan: "Although the Appraisal Glasses define the scope of appraisal based on the wearer's knowledge level, it is strictly limited to knowledge."

Lan Qingyou: "What do you mean?"

Shang Chuan: "For example, the knowledge you have learned is E-Rank Alchemy, but you haven't learned other things like E-Rank Mechanics or E-Rank Runology."

Shang Chuan: "The Appraisal Glasses can help you achieve appraisals for unknown fields that match the level of your Alchemy knowledge, and can even perform preliminary appraisals on higher-level items like D-Rank or B-Rank."

Shang Chuan: "Of course, this appraisal is very general; it only lets you know the rough quality, not the precise details."

Now Lan Qingyou understood completely.

These Appraisal Glasses are less of an "appraisal" tool and more of an "identification" tool.

Even if she only learned E-Rank Herbology, she could appraise E-Rank Mechanics items, and she could barely identify higher-level objects.

Lan Qingyou thought for a moment and finally decided to take the glasses.

After all, everything in this world was unknown to her. Although these glasses weren't the kind of "appraisal item" from the stereotypes of a Blue Star Person, they would at least allow her to judge whether something was dangerous when she encountered it, giving her enough time and opportunity to run away.

Lan Qingyou: "One thousand red and blue potions each, with 200 of them being +50 and the rest being +30. Two hundred of each Attribute Potion. You are responsible for providing the test tubes and the base water for brewing. Also, the Luminous Potion requires Luminous Mushroom; I don't have any here, so you'll need to provide those too."

Shang Chuan: "Fine, but you have to add 200 Universal Antidote."

Fine, fine, fine, as expected of a merchant.

She had only made the antidote for Li Huai yesterday, and he was already asking for a cut today.

Lan Qingyou: "199, ready-made."

Shang Chuan: "No problem."

And so, Lan Qingyou traded the 199 remaining Apprentice Grade Universal Antidote she had brewed for Li Huai yesterday for the Appraisal Glasses.

Along with them came 3,800 empty test tubes.

"In debt again!"

Grabbing a piece of Steel Wool and scrubbing it hard a few times, Lan Qingyou sighed.

She didn't ask where the other party got these glasses; after all, channels were a merchant's biggest secret.

After petting the squeaking Steel Wool for a while, Lan Qingyou thought it over and finally sent a message to Li Huai, stating that the Mana Potion he needed might take a few more days to prepare.

To this, Li Huai replied that he still needed to recover from his injuries, so a few days' delay was perfectly fine.

Only after ending the conversation with Li Huai did Lan Qingyou pick up the glasses to examine them carefully.

There was nothing special about them; they looked like a pair of the most ordinary Black-rimmed Glasses.

She put the glasses on to get a feel for them and discovered that the entire world seemed to have changed in her eyes.

Windows popped up for objects both large and small, containing not only their levels but also some simple descriptions.

Unlike the identification provided by the Small Screen on the Magic Desk, these glasses didn't include any snarky commentary.

They were defined by their conciseness.

"Hmm!!!"

When Lan Qingyou finished her meal and arrived at the Alchemy Workshop wearing the glasses, intending to continue brewing medicine, two of the description windows that popped up in the workshop caught her attention.

[Meteorite Iron Cauldron (Unknown)]

[Function: Unknown.]

[Description: A cauldron forged from meteorite iron.]

[Meteorite Iron Herb Pestle (Unknown)]

[Function: Unknown.]

[Description: A herb pestle forged from meteorite iron.]

Lan Qingyou was stunned.

No way! These two things were actually forged from meteorite iron?

With no time to overthink, she lunged forward, grabbed the herb pestle, and flew over to the desk, placing it on the Small Screen to perform an identification.

Although the glasses couldn't identify items of a higher grade than themselves, the Small Screen certainly could.

[Function: Increases the efficacy of alchemy materials by 50%]

[Description: The ultimate tool that every alchemist dreams of; a world-class magic item recognized by the World Will. Whoever possesses it is blessed, and everyone who has used it speaks highly of it. Unfortunately, after long periods of neglect, its effects are not what they once were. Perhaps you could try using it frequently to reawaken this slumbering world-class item.]

Gulp--

Lan Qingyou swallowed hard; she was salivating.

Good heavens, the herb pestle she had been using to grind Centipedes and Earthworms was actually a world-class item?

Then... what about the cauldron?

Lan Qingyou turned her head to look at the cauldron, which was bubbling and steaming.

Calm down! Lan Qingyou, what you need right now is to be calm!

You cannot let your mind be clouded by the good things right in front of you!

Lan Qingyou kept warning herself internally.

Wait...

If the [Rusted Cauldron] and the [Rusted Herb Pestle] were like this, could there be other hidden treasures inside Albert's Basement?

Thinking of this, Lan Qingyou's eyes lit up, and she unconsciously licked her lips, which had gone dry from excitement.
