Disrespecting Your Elders! Robbing a Child's Stuff!

Actually, Bai Zhou had miscalculated.

While the plan was to cast a wide net and catch big fish, he hadn't expected so much scrap metal in that place.

It was even piled up into a small mountain.

But even though Bai Zhenbei expressed his reluctance, he still appraised each item for Bai Zhou.

After all, Bai Zhou was the only descendant in the entire Bai Family.

Bai Zhou's grandfather had a total of two sons and one daughter.

Yet, he only had one grandson, Bai Zhou.

This was because Bai Zhou's uncle, Bai Zhenbei's son, and thus Bai Zhou's older brother, had sacrificed himself on the battlefield against the alien races.

If he hadn't died, Bai Zhou's older brother would definitely be among the Ten Great Masters by now!

Because of this, Bai Zhenbei treated his only nephew, Bai Zhou, as if he were his own son!

Otherwise, Bai Zhenbei wouldn't have dared to bully the weak in public, in front of so many people just now!

But since someone had bullied his nephew, he had to bully them back!

That's just how the Bai Family protected their own!

This also explained why Bai Zhou, before his transmigration, was so arrogant and overbearing, making Lin Wei think he was an annoying second-generation rich kid.

Yes, with all the elders in the family doting on him, it was no wonder he became so spoiled!

Of course, Bai Zhou wouldn't actually let his uncle appraise this entire pile of scrap metal.

That would be too much work.

He remembered reading in the original novel.

The top-tier equipment Chu Yun found during his first lucky find was called the Dragon Scale Armor!

It was a defensive arm guard for a Spirit Master.

So, Bai Zhou thoughtfully picked out everything related to arm guards and had Bai Zhenbei appraise only those.

Actually, since Bai Zhou knew what it was, he could have just had his subordinates only bring back arm guards when they swept the area.

There was no need to go through this much trouble now.

But Bai Zhou had his own plans!

The original novel only mentioned Chu Yun finding that one item.

But that didn't mean it was the only thing that could be found among this pile of scrap metal!

Therefore, Bai Zhou planned to find someone to appraise the other items slowly!

What if some other valuable item appeared? Wouldn't that be a profit?

Besides, he wasn't short on money. He'd buy it all, unlike that poor beggar Chu Yun!

[Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering mental damage +999, obtained Destined Villain Value +100. Villain Roulette requires 500 more to activate!]

Yeah, Chu Yun was something else.

Even in my current miserable state, you're still badmouthing me behind my back?

Lin Wei had Shen Yun and Chen Juan pull her away to talk.

Only the three men of the Bai Family were left in the courtyard.

Bai Zhou searched for arm guards inside, while Bai Zhenbei waited for Bai Zhou to find one, then he would appraise it.

Bai Zhennan was waiting for Bai Zhou to finish so he could properly discipline his son.

However, Bai Zhou eventually dragged him along, and he also plunged into the scrap metal pile, beginning to search for arm guards.

After an unknown amount of time:

"Eh?"

Bai Zhenbei's surprised voice rang out:

"Good stuff!"

With a "whoosh," Bai Zhou shot out of the scrap pile like a rocket.

Did he find what I was looking for?!

Under Bai Zhou's expectant gaze, Bai Zhenbei held up the arm guard in his hand and said:

"I didn't expect there to be actual good items in this scrap pile!"

"According to my appraisal, the quality of this arm guard has reached A-rank, and its attributes seem to increase strength."

"I'm not sure of the specific effects. Little Zhou, try it on quickly, maybe it suits you!"

However, listening to Bai Zhenbei's words, a hint of disappointment clearly appeared in Bai Zhou's eyes.

"Forget it, I'll keep looking!"

Saying that, Bai Zhou dejectedly plunged back into the scrap pile.

"You child!"

Bai Zhenbei, standing there, said helplessly:

"Do you know how much an A-rank arm guard can sell for!"

"All of your uncle's current equipment, only one is S, the rest are all A, and you're looking down on A-rank equipment now?"

What Bai Zhennan said was not wrong.

A-rank equipment was definitely a great find!

One must know how wealthy the Bai Family was!

Even so, Bai Zhennan only had one S-Class piece of equipment on him.

It wasn't because he couldn't afford it, but because it was priceless!

This item was simply too rare!

Even if someone obtained such equipment, they would never easily sell it.

However, Bai Zhou completely ignored Bai Zhenbei's voice.

Because he clearly remembered that the arm guard Chu Yun found was a genuine S-rank equipment!

While A-rank was indeed awesome, it was still far inferior to S-rank!

During this time, Bai Zhenbei also identified two B-rank pieces of equipment and one C-rank piece of equipment.

Equipment above C-rank quality could already fetch a considerable price!

Coupled with that A-rank arm guard, the value of these items was almost comparable to this pile of scrap metal!

This led to Bai Zhenbei becoming more and more excited as he appraised them.

And Bai Zhennan even started picking through them.

Finally!

"Holy crap!"

Bai Zhenbei, who was ranked fifth among the Ten Great Masters and highly respected, actually let out a curse?!

"This damn thing is actually... actually..."

Hearing Bai Zhenbei's voice, a bright light finally appeared on Bai Zhou's face.

With a "whoosh," he appeared in front of Bai Zhenbei.

Before his uncle could finish speaking!

Bai Zhou snatched the small, wrist-guard-like item from his uncle's hand.

And put it on his own wrist.

The moment Bai Zhou put on the item.

A line of clear information appeared in his mind.

[S-rank Arm Guard: Dragon Scale Armor (Gauntlet)]

[Equip Effect: Defense +10%, Three-piece Set Bonus +50%, Five-piece Set Bonus +100%!]

[Equipment Skill: Consume all energy to imbue your next attack with Dragon Soul power, increasing all attributes damage by 100%! Energy can be recovered over time, and recovery is accelerated by moving, fighting, or casting skills.]

That's right!

It was this thing!

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully intercepted part of the Protagonist's luck, gaining Destined Villain Value +500. Villain Roulette has been activated!]

Bai Zhou clearly remembered that after Chu Yun received the SSS-rank scholarship, he went to the hospital to pay for Lin Wei's father's treatment, and the first thing he did, under the guidance of the old man's voice in his mind, was to find this item!

In subsequent academy tests, he used this skill to deal tons of damage.

It shattered everyone's doubts about him contracting an E-rank Divine Weapon Maiden!

And it also severely embarrassed himself...

Of course, such things would never happen again.

Because he had already taken the initiative to cut off Chu Yun's luck in this regard!

He was now too lazy to even think about the Villain Roulette.

His mind was filled with how spectacular Chu Yun's and that old man in his head's expressions must be when they found out about this!

At this moment, Bai Zhennan also came closer due to the unusual behavior of his son and older brother.

Seeing Bai Zhenbei, who was already stunned, he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother, what's wrong? Say something, why are you spacing out?"

"Gulp~"

Bai Zhenbei immediately swallowed and turned to grab Bai Zhennan's shoulder, pointing a finger at the faintly glowing wrist guard on Bai Zhou's arm.

"Wh-wh-what... What is this..."

"This is actually S-Class equipment!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhennan couldn't help but exclaim!

"Can this damn pile of scrap metal really produce a divine artifact?!"

With two "swish" sounds, the brothers directly surrounded Bai Zhou.

Their eyes were fixed on Bai Zhou's wrist.

This showed how rare S-Class equipment was, let alone higher-level items.

And because of the brothers' reaction, Bai Zhou was startled and quickly grabbed his wrist, taking two steps back. He spoke warily, "What do you guys want?!"

But Bai Zhenbei and Bai Zhennan were the same; the brothers both showed somewhat fawning smiles:

"Hehehe..."

Bai Zhenbei: "Little Zhou, you see, Uncle identified this thing, right? You have to let Uncle wear it for a bit to see what it is, right?"

Bai Zhennan: "Son, my good son, look, your dad is already this old and doesn't even have an S-Class armguard. How about you let your dad try it out?"

Bai Zhou: !!

"Holy crap!"

"You two old geezers have no shame! Are you going to snatch a kid's stuff too?!"
