I am Picking Up Shards of All Attributes in Apocalypse - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Silver-Rank Eyeball!

Seeing that the crowd had chimed in, Rolce shot a look at one of his students.

Although he was the most experienced appraiser here, he typically would not appraise items.

Instead, he would hand them over to his students. On the one hand, it was to train them, but on the other hand, it was also to save some effort.

If not for the appearance of this Gold-rank extraordinary item, he would not even have come out.

However, in the end, this extraordinary item was fake.

But it was not bad to be able to use it as a material to teach his students.

As for the item that the crowd was talking about, he was really not in the mood to appraise it.

“Sir, can you show me the eyeball in your hand?”

One of Rolce’s students spoke to James.

Hearing this request, James nodded and handed over the eyeball.

The student took the eyeball and examined it carefully. Then, he came to a conclusion.

“This is just the eye of an ordinary Ink Octopus and is not worth any money. If you want to exchange it for money, it can only be exchanged for one Brass Coin!”

Hearing the appraisal from Rolce’s student…

Everyone around him believed him.

In particular, that adventurer especially believed him. After all, he had lost all his face because he had wrongly appraised the Illusory Vicious Grass.

Thus, if even his most confident appraisal result was overturned, then he would really have no face to stay here.

However, James was the most depressed about this appraisal result.

He did not expect the eyeball to really be the eyeball of an ordinary Brass-rank monster.

Those cultists were really daring!

However, he was not really the Evil God.

Thus, he could not possibly impose a divine punishment upon them!

This was troublesome!

If it was only worth one Brass Coin, it would not be enough to exchange for the rent of a new home.

However, if he went home and looked for another sacrifice, there might not be enough time.

Thus, it seemed like he could only go home today.

“James, it’s okay! This kind of thing happens often. It’s very common. Don’t be sad!”

James simply shook his head at Jason’s reassurance.

It was only a small setback. He wasn’t sad, just a little depressed.

“Thank you for the appraisal, sir.” Just as James was about to take the eyeball, a voice suddenly sounded.

“Wait!”

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Rolce.

Then, they saw Rolce hurriedly rush past.

He snatched the eyeball from the student’s hands and observed it carefully with widened eyes.

Everyone looked at Rolce with some doubt.

Wasn’t this the eyeball of an ordinary Ink Octopus?

With Mr. Rolce’s experience, wouldn’t he be able to identify it at a glance?

Why would he need to observe it for so long?

This abnormal scene immediately caused everyone present to start whispering.

“Isn’t this just the eyeball of an ordinary Ink Octopus? Is there something special about it?”

“Could there be a reversal?” A bystander made a bold guess.

However, when these words were spoken, many people immediately came out to refute!

“Do you think there can be so many reversals!?”

“That’s right, it looks like the eyeball of an Ink Octopus to me!”

“Then how do you explain Mr. Rolce’s actions?”

“Maybe he has never seen an Ink Octopus before?”

“You must be joking! Mr. Rolce even knows about the rare Illusory Vicious Grass, yet you think that he wouldn’t recognize the eyeball of an Ink Octopus?!”

“So, why exactly is he doing this? Is this eyeball really not simple?!”

Everyone looked at Rolce’s strange actions.

Some thought that there would be a reversal, but others felt that this was impossible.

Meanwhile, the person who was the most nervous was the adventurer.

After all, he had just appraised the eyeball. If Mr. Rolce personally came out to slap him in his face, then he would be too embarrassed today.

What he wanted the most now was to hear Rolce say, “This is indeed the eyeball of an Ink Octopus.”

Everyone was waiting for Rolce’s appraisal.

Including James.

There was a long pause.

Then, Rolce ended his observation.

He heaved a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had not left immediately.

Otherwise, he would have missed out on this rare treasure.

He looked up at James and asked curiously, “Sir, where did you get this eyeball?”

James was relieved when he heard this.

This was because he knew that those cultists had not disappointed him after all.

He replied, “I found it in the dense Kubak forest!”

Upon hearing this answer, Rolce nodded. He was not surprised by this reason.

He even felt that this was reasonable. After all, James was only a Level 5 Silver adventurer.

Thus, it was impossible for him to obtain this eyeball with his strength. He could only rely on luck!

However, just relying on luck to obtain a Platinum-grade extraordinary item was simply too ridiculous!

Their conversation stunned everyone.

Someone could not help but shout out.

“Mr. Rolce, have you appraised it? So is this eyeball the eyeball of an Ink Octopus?!”

Even Rolce’s student asked curiously, “Teacher, is there something wrong with this eyeball?”

Upon hearing his student’s curious question, Rolce turned around slightly and said, “This isn’t the eyeball of an Ink Octopus!”

This turn of events had caused quite a stir among the crowd.

Even a fool would know that this item was definitely not simple after seeing Rolce observing it for so long.

“Mr. Rolce, what exactly is this?”

“Yeah. If it’s not the eyeball of the Ink Octopus, then what is it?”

…

“This… is the eyeball of the Turgar Alligator Turtle, a Platinum-rank monster!” Rolce said.

These words were like a bomb that had dropped in the crowd, leaving them all dumbfounded!

“A Platinum-rank monster! Did I hear him wrongly?”

“How— how is this possible?!”

“I’ve lived for 40 to 50 years, but I’ve never heard of a Platinum-grade item appearing in Saint Laurent City!”

“Let’s not even talk about the past 40 to 50 years. I’m familiar with the history of Saint Laurent City, and it has not appeared even in the past 300 years!”

“Gasp! Three hundred years! Doesn’t that mean we’re witnessing history!”

Even James was somewhat shocked when he heard the word “Platinum-rank”.

He had also considered that the people who worshiped him as the Evil God typically had a high status. Those offerings were definitely good stuff, but the Platinum-rank appraisal truly gave him a fright.

After all, this eyeball was simply the worst among all the offerings!

Even the worst item was a Platinum-rank item.

Then what rank would the best item be?

Would it be of the Diamond rank?

Or even…

The King rank?

Although James only had the strength of a Gold-rank, he clearly knew how terrifying a King-rank expert was.

If it was a King-rank sacrifice…

Its value would be…

Hiss!

The more James thought about it, the more his scalp tingled.

“Mr. Rolce, if it’s a Platinum-rank extraordinary item, how much would it be worth?”

A bystander asked.

Even if it was a Platinum-grade extraordinary item, it would simply be trash if they couldn’t use it.

The only thing that could reflect its value was money.
