28: Chapter 28 Continued Paid Appraisal

The improvement in his physical fitness caused Qin Yun's appetite to surge, and his food intake increased significantly!

After eating three large bowls of fragrant rice plus three catties of meat and vegetables, he finally felt full!

He could have continued eating, but there was no need to stuff himself to the point of discomfort.

Cat Xiaoxiao was the same; her appetite had also increased a lot!

Being able to eat so much food made her feel extremely happy.

After finishing a satisfying dinner, Qin Yun became busy once again.

While tending to ten stoves by himself, he chatted with Cat Xiaoxiao, telling her about the weaknesses of Red-eyed Rabbits, Sharp-toothed Hyenas, Bloodthirsty Spiked Boars, and so on.

He had already agreed to let Cat Xiaoxiao participate in combat!

Not long ago, Cat Xiaoxiao had let out a weak meow, indicating that she wanted to join the fight.

Having prepared herself for rejection, she was ready to appeal to his emotions and reason to persuade her master to agree.

To her surprise, Qin Yun agreed immediately without a second thought.

She had already opened her cat mouth, planning to meow a long-winded speech, and that was it?

After her brain stalled for a moment, she let out a coquettish meow and then began to hop around happily, meowing from time to time.

...

Back on the electric vehicle, Qin Yun munched on the crunchy, chicken-flavored white scales while leaning against the water condenser, packing various items into the primary space ring.

"Xiaoxiao, I'll let you use this primary space ring from now on. It contains various portions of butchered beast meat—mostly your favorite Red-eyed Rabbit meat—as well as prepared ox horn powder water and some other miscellaneous items."

Qin Yun threaded a piece of ox tendon through the primary space ring, which he had already unlinked, and tied it into a small elastic loop.

Cat Xiaoxiao didn't act coy.

She stepped forward and nudged Qin Yun to express her affection, then let out a meow, indicating she didn't know how to use a space ring.

Qin Yun took out a rabbit fur mask from his advanced space ring and began cutting it with his rabbit tooth dagger. "The ox tendon might hurt if it's too tight for too long. Once I've finished and put it on you, just focus your attention on the ring, think about claiming ownership for three seconds, and you'll understand."

Cat Xiaoxiao lay on the front seat, quietly watching Qin Yun as he worked on the ox tendon and rabbit fur mask.

Her master always seemed so meticulous.

She thought back to the little things on Blue Star: her panic and fear when she first met her master, him bathing her when she was covered in filth, cleaning her paw pads, tearing meat into small pieces for her to eat, and dressing her when it was cold...

As she reminisced, her eyes gradually grew moist.

Cat Xiaoxiao stepped forward and curled up in Qin Yun's arms.

This was the first time her eyes had watered due to emotion; she didn't know why, perhaps it was a change that occurred after coming here.

"If you're tired, get some sleep."

Qin Yun gently stroked Cat Xiaoxiao a few times and continued working on the ox tendon and rabbit fur mask.

Cat Xiaoxiao didn't meow; she just snuggled deeper into his embrace.

Soon, the ox tendon was completely wrapped in fluffy rabbit fur. Qin Yun stretched it repeatedly to check it, and after deciding it wouldn't pinch if worn for a long time nor break easily, he finally nodded.

He prepared these things for Cat Xiaoxiao not for the sake of separate meals, but as a precaution against potential special circumstances in the future.

Secondly, it was for Cat Xiaoxiao's usual snacks.

Qin Yun took a sip of ox horn powder water, supported Cat Xiaoxiao on his lap, and with a thought, opened the communication section on the survivor panel.

The number on it had changed to 9,681.

After asking Qin Xiaoqi to record the current population count, Qin Yun opened his friends list and clicked on Great Sage Sun's chat box.

[Great Sage Sun: [Image] [Image] [Image], Brother Qin, help me appraise these. See if that hyena-like beast is edible, and check the dropped items too.]

[Great Sage Sun: This damn thing is much tougher than a Red-eyed Rabbit. I don't know if getting scratched by it will cause an infection or something.]

[Great Sage Sun: [Image], I killed another Red-eyed Rabbit. This dagger is very sharp; Brother Qin, take a look and see if there are any issues with it.]

There were three messages; the first two were sent around noon, and the third was sent after five in the evening.

Qin Yun clicked on the images.

The Sharp-toothed Hyena, weighing over four hundred catties, was covered in knife wounds!

At a rough estimate, it had been slashed at least thirty times!

From this, it was evident that the blade in Great Sage Sun's hand was quite poor.

Under such circumstances, the fact that he hadn't been bitten and only suffered scratches showed that Great Sage Sun was no ordinary person!

[Qin: Impressive, Sage! Appraising these four items will cost 41 catties of beast meat. The contract has been generated.]

After sending the message, Qin Yun moved the chat box aside and clicked on Blue and White Porcelain's dialog box.

[Blue and White Porcelain: [Image] [Image] [Image], Big Brother Qin, please check if this plump rat is edible and if it has any special effects. Also, check this apple-like fruit and these berries I picked in the wild.]

He replied with the appraisal fee, generated a contract, moved it aside, and opened Contemporary Emperor's dialog box...

[Great Sage Sun: Brother Qin, no problem on my end. I've confirmed the contract.]

[Qin: Sharp-toothed Hyena... increases strength; ordinary blood essence; over one ton... strength; one-liter water bag, safe for direct consumption; common rabbit tooth dagger, main material... aggro.]

[Great Sage Sun: Great, great, great! Finally, a sharp weapon. Thanks, Brother Qin!]

[Qin: The weapon is good, but Sage, remember that it will provoke and attract aggro from Red-eyed Rabbits.]

Qin Yun admitted that Great Sage Sun wasn't weak, but if he encountered many Red-eyed Rabbits while wielding a rabbit tooth dagger, it would still be very dangerous!

After all, Great Sage Sun's vehicle was only a bicycle.

[Great Sage Sun: I plan to make a simple sheath for the common rabbit tooth dagger and won't take it out normally. Red-eyed Rabbits are very fast; I couldn't outrun them even if my bicycle's pedals were smoking. I'll definitely be careful. Besides, I usually don't ride when I go out.]

[Qin: Good idea.]

Next, Qin Yun continued to open one dialog box after another.

In less than ten minutes, he had processed all the information requiring appraisal and earned several hundred catties of beast meat and dozens of copper coins!

Qin Yun also noticed that the Survivors who needed appraisals had added him to their "special following" list, which was why they replied so quickly upon receiving his messages.

Afterward, Qin Yun opened the regional communication channel.

[*: Aaaah, what should I do? What am I going to do? My vehicle's energy only has 5 units left!]

[*: @*, I'm worse off than you. Even with stop-and-go driving, the energy is still consuming too fast. Now there's only 3.3 units left, and the countdown only has 1 hour remaining. Just thinking about potentially being obliterated, I...]

Qin Yun didn't reveal the news that they wouldn't be obliterated when the countdown hit zero.

Although this news would spread far and wide before long, if he took the initiative to say it, someone would surely guess that he could even appraise various categories on the survivor panel!

Unfortunately, there were some greyed-out parts bound by chains that he couldn't appraise at all!

This also indicated that the survivor panel, or the existence behind it, was at a higher level than the Eye of Insight trait!

[Betray the Whole World: Even before transmigrating to the Global Survival World, information had already circulated that the larger and heavier the vehicle, the more energy it would consume. Yet, you still insisted on choosing heavy vehicles!]

[Betray the Whole World: @*, @*, hurry up and use up your energy and the countdown to see what changes occur. This is the last value you have while alive!]

[Stewed Goose in Iron Pot: @Betray the Whole World, you black-hearted mad dog, you're the one who's most worthless!]

[Betray the Whole World: @Stewed Goose in Iron Pot, are you insane? Why do you chase me around and curse at me every day?]

[Great Sage Sun: @*, @*, why didn't you drive your vehicles to ram the beasts outside at the very beginning?]}],
