This fellow's name was Hao Gou Bu Dang Dao.
However, Chu Tian directly seized upon one key word.
Turning him into a dog.
"Publicly? Fine, then find a Master-level or higher engineer to activate the system's judgment and have them appraise the price of this blueprint!
Whatever they say the blueprint is worth, I'll pay!"
Hearing Chu Tian's words, the fellow's lips curled.
He chuckled inwardly…
Master-level engineers were practically as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!
In the entire Northern War Zone, he knew of only one person who had been promoted to Master-level just a couple of days ago.
That was Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi from the "Everything Engineering Shop."
That guy called himself "The Sorcerer" publicly.
He was extremely eccentric.
He didn't care who anyone was.
Rumor had it that he had recently closed his shop.
A few days ago, he had hired a bunch of NPC artisans to completely renovate the interior of his shop.
No one knew what it had been transformed into.
It was said that his engineers, after entering the shop some time ago,
had not a single one of them emerged since.
Many days had passed, and no one knew what they were tinkering with.
Now, this esteemed 'Deity' before him hadn't logged in for a long time.
He probably wasn't aware of the game's development progress.
And he still wanted to find a system judgment?
Activating system judgment allowed one to select registered Master-level or higher engineers within the system.
They could be invited, and whether they accepted depended on their mood.
If they accepted and came,
after completing this appraisal, they would gain favorability with the Sub-Professions Guild.
If the person was in a bad mood, didn't want to accept, or was busy,
and if no Master-level or higher engineer player could be found,
when the time was up, an NPC would act as the adjudicator.
It was highly likely that the blueprint would simply be appraised at its sale price to the shop,
which would be a mere 10 gold coins.
Ten times the compensation would be 100 gold coins.
He had already prepared himself to see this 'Deity's' miserable expression soon.
And then to flaunt 100 gold coins right in his face.
Of course, this last thought was merely a figment of his imagination.
"Activate system judgment," Chu Tian directly summoned the judgment system of the Heavenly Dao World.
This judgment system required the agreement of both parties to be activated.
Hao Gou Bu Dang Dao readily agreed to activate it.
【Ding... Judgment System activated. Item being appraised: [Engineering Blueprint: Flame Cannon]. Preliminary system appraisal: Extremely rare, with a current worldwide existence count of 'Scarce'.】
【Ding... Please select the closest Master-level or higher engineer. Currently online player: only one, Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi.】
【Ding... Do you wish to invite this player as the final appraiser? If they do not accept, the system NPC will provide the appraisal price?】
"Invite..." Chu Tian directly issued the command.
Seeing this, Hao Gou Bu Dang Dao inwardly chuckled.
He was actually going to invite that lunatic. That guy was crazy.
He was probably in seclusion conducting some research.
Even if he wasn't conducting research…
Did you think you were 'Deity' and he would come?
【Ding... Master-level Engineer Player: Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi has accepted the invitation. Coordinates have been sent to them.】
Just as this fellow was contemplating these thoughts, the Heavenly Dao World system prompt sounded with the reply of the other party accepting the invitation.
"Huh..." This fellow was stunned.
That madman actually accepted.
It must be a system prompt, and he accepted without properly hearing it.
Yes, it must be like that.
Even if he accepted, he wouldn't come.
This fellow confidently thought to himself.
"Open the gate..."
However, at this very moment, a shout came from the direction of the Reverse God Alliance guild's main entrance.
All eyes turned towards it.
Chu Tian patted his forehead.
He thought to himself: Doesn't this guy know to wait two minutes?
Although he had been informed earlier to come and wait at the entrance.
But the system had just sent the coordinates.
This guy immediately called for the gate to be opened.
It was a bit too fake.
But Hao Gou Bu Dang Dao didn't consider this.
Instead, his mouth fell open wide.
Staring at the person walking in.
"The... The Sorcerer... Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi?"
His voice was almost a shriek.
This was definitely The Sorcerer.
He had seen him once before and had even planned to poach him.
The shabby clothes and messy hair were his signature.
"You damn dog, 'Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi' yourself! Your whole family doesn't carry toilet paper when they go to the toilet! What kind of puny brat are you? Scram..."
The Sorcerer happened to walk up to him, striding with an arrogant gait.
He even imitated Hao Gou Bu Dang Dao's previous demeanor when facing the elites of the Reverse God Alliance.
He charged straight at him.
Hao Gou Bu Dang Dao, after being berated, and as The Sorcerer uttered the word "scram,"
he unconsciously stepped aside to make way.
The Sorcerer, without looking at him, walked straight through, as if he hadn't seen him.
He suppressed him by one position and stopped there.
Floating there was a blueprint.
It was the item being appraised and priced: [Engineering Blueprint: Flame Cannon].
"Huh...?"
The Sorcerer, with his arrogant and unyielding gait, and a face full of pride,
stopped abruptly upon reaching the blueprint.
After a single glance, he suddenly looked up at Chu Tian.
"Old..."
The fellow opened his mouth to call out "Boss."
But Chu Tian quickly gave him a glare.
"I... I want it, this blueprint, I'll pay..." The fellow, shrinking under Chu Tian's gaze,
suddenly remembered what this was all about.
However, the fellow's eyes rolled. He reached out.
And pulled out a money bag.
*Clink...* It all spilled onto the ground.
"This is all I have, it's all yours. I'm taking this blueprint!"
The Sorcerer reached out to take the blueprint…
【Ding... Master-level Engineer Player: Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi offers two hundred thousand and seven thousand three hundred and eighty-two gold coins to purchase [Engineering Blueprint: Flame Cannon].】
【Ding... Appraisal complete. The price of [Engineering Blueprint: Flame Cannon] is 207,382 gold coins!】
【Ding... As per the contract, Hao Tian Trading Company must compensate ten times the market value of [Engineering Blueprint: Flame Cannon] as liquidated damages, totaling: 2,073,820 gold coins.】
【Ding... System judgment is effective immediately. Hao Tian Trading Company must deliver the compensation within ten hours to the signatory: Reverse God Alliance Executive President, Lei Qingcheng.】
【Ding... System execution: All properties of personnel belonging to Hao Tian Trading Company are frozen. No transactions are permitted within ten hours, except for transactions with Lei Qingcheng.】
【Ding... Forced compensation countdown begins. Time: ten hours. If Hao Tian Trading Company fails to deliver the liquidated damages voluntarily, the system will forcibly liquidate Hao Tian Trading Company's assets and deduct an additional 50% of the liquidated damages, totaling: 1,036,910 gold coins.】
System prompts followed one after another.
These prompts were not only heard by Chu Tian and his companions,
but also by the high-ranking officials of Hao Tian Trading Company.
In an instant, chaos erupted within Hao Tian Trading Company.
And Chu Tian's mouth split into a wide grin.
Qi Xi, Gao Kai, and the others were also grinning.
