Chapter 143: The Big One Is Coming (3/3)
The visitor was an acquaintance.
The tall, middle-aged man with dark skin and a fisherman's dress smiled when he heard Ian's greeting and walked into the store with a bulging sack of stuff in his hand.
"It's Uncle Sainan."
Walking down the stairs, Ian actually knew who the visitor was by virtue of the Sand Armor apprentice's sense of the earth's footsteps.
But he still pretended to be very surprised, and leaned on the escalator and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought that Uncle Sainan, after you had your own long-distance fishing boat, you would never bother to go ashore." ”
Senan was the first fisherman to rush over to save people on the first day of Ian's awakening memory, when he killed the priest and burned down the old house.
After that, he gave Ian a Warcraft-level salmon, so that Ian recovered his strength for the first time.
Although he did have a careful mind, he was able to come and save people in the face of the fire, no matter what the reason, he was sincere.
Not to mention the gift of fish in the back, Ian is willing to admit it.
Over the past few years, Sainan has become the captain of a long-distance fishing boat in the White Room fleet, and he is very respected and loved by sailors and fishermen.
"Hey, didn't I also give a big anemone on Little Elan's birthday last time?"
Hearing Ian's words, the black-skinned and white-haired fisherman showed a row of snow-white teeth, and he laughed heartily: "Look, this time I didn't even think about something, and I came to you directly!" ”
“…… Anemones are not plants, Elam is fond of flowers and plants, but anemones ...... I can only say that it is really delicious. ”
Hearing Senan's words, Ian almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
The big anemone that the new captain sent last time was indeed very beautiful, purple and red and fluorescent, but it was not poisonous, obviously it was bothered.
But this thing is really not a flower, and it can't be raised in the fish tank, and in the end, Ian boiled a pot of soup into the stomach of the two brothers, which can be regarded as living up to Sainan's hard work.
"It's delicious, I'm a rough person, and I don't understand this."
The bright-eyed fisherman lifted the sack from the ground, his bare skin tanned by the sun, apparently having been running at sea all this time - if the white man had not been exposed to the sun regularly, his color would have faded in a few weeks at most, and he would have recovered completely in a few years.
If you look closely, you can see that the fisherman has some blue-black scales behind his ears and neck, and his fingernails are even sharper and stronger, which looks a little hideous.
Untying the mouth of the sack, Sainan showed the contents to Ian, and said seriously: "This time, I will ask Ian to help me see if this bag of fluorescent algae is worth anything!" ”
Click. As the seaweed is exposed, the dimly lit interior of the grocery store is lit up like a white oil lamp.
"Hmm...... Fluorescent algae. Ian nodded slightly, and he groaned.
He noticed that although Sainan appeared quite cheerful on the surface, he was very nervous about the details of his body.
Ian didn't even need to turn on the psionic energy, and with the silver chip, he could find that the knuckles of the other party's fingers holding the bag were a little white, and his breathing was a lot heavier.
- It seems that there is really a big event, even Sainan's character will be nervous.
"This brightness ...... Uncle Sainan, the quality is quite good, it should be regarded as a sublimation material. ”
Saying casually, Ian squinted slightly, he didn't know at first, but he could now see that one of Senan's ancestors probably had a fish-man or mermaid from the Whale Song Cliff, which is why he was so adapted to the ocean, and had the atavistic characteristics of these fish lizards, just as Elder Pud had dwarven characteristics.
If given the opportunity, Sainan can become an ascendant.
But it's not that that matters, it's the state of the other party right now.
"—he's lying to me, he's definitely not here to determine if this bag of fluorescent algae is worth anything."
Ian can be sure.
He and Sainan are acquaintances, and it is not once or twice that he helps identify the catch, and every time he identifies a Warcraft-level catch, the other party will also give a reward without hesitation, and Ian always refuses most of them on the grounds of 'everyone is a white citizen' and 'you saved my life and gave me a fish'.
And Senan will always give gifts in other ways, such as Elan's birthday, when Ian won the junior alchemist qualification.
After six years of precipitation, even if they are cautious and alienated from people, such as Ian himself, they all think that the other party is a real 'friend', not to mention that they are warm and hearty, but it is not good to hear, but Sainan, who has a slightly simple head?
Why should the other party deceive themselves?
Putting aside his doubts for the time being, Ian picked up the bag of fluorescent algae, picked out one and observed it carefully, and then said, "I'm going to bring one up for identification...... No problem, right? ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he observed Sainan's movements.
The other party's movements were obviously stunned for a moment, and then he said with some hesitation: "Ah, good...... It should be fine...... No problem! ”
He seemed to be recalling the rules and admonitions, making sure that Ian's actions were permissible, before he smiled heartily and responded.
"Entrusted by someone to find me as an intermediary for identification?"
Ian nodded slightly, he could see some clues.
The White People help each other, all kinds of industries will discount each other, and some services don't even cost money - Ian's appraisal fee is not cheap, but it is quite affordable for his kind.
This is a normal situation in the land of Terra, maybe there is no such rule between different families of the same clan, but within the family with the same blood, only the cost price is charged.
Occasionally, Ian would choose a day on the Ancestral Sacrifice Day to identify his clan for free, or give away some handmade props.
Of course, such free and exempt is only for the same family.
If someone wants to shop on behalf of others and identify on behalf of others, they are taking advantage of their brothers and sisters, and they will be severely punished by Elder Pudder.
"Forget it, I'll make it clear to him later, give him a favor - I personally don't mind discounting, but the rules still have to be followed."
Ian shook his head slightly and sighed: "People are sophisticated. ”
As the future successor of Elder Pude, the new leader and new elder appointed by the people of Bai in the future, he naturally wants to maintain this set of rules...... Of course, the preferential treatment limited to the same clan is naturally narrow and meaningless, but this is also the beginning of the future 'membership system', and he has already had a complete set of promotion plans.
After all, Ian wasn't an elder yet, so he didn't plan to change.
I'll warn you about Sainan's behavior, and you won't do it again next time.
People like him can't learn to lie.
Identification naturally requires professional tools, but Ian generally doesn't, saying that he wants to take it upstairs to hide that he has a silver chip.
But that doesn't mean Ian doesn't have the normal identification process – even without the chip and foresight, his level of expertise is in line with his credentials.
This is the professional level of the new era of witnesses!
Today, however, there is no need to actually turn on various instruments, such as microlenses, distillation instruments, vacuum cabinets, and the like.
After Ian went upstairs, he casually started a crusher with the least energy consumption and made a clanging noise.
Then, he turned on the foresight and the silver chip, staring at the fluorescent algae that had been placed on the workbench.
At that time, the damp seaweed, which was still wriggling and emitting a pale white shimmer, was thoroughly dissected under the shimmering silver-blue light in the young man's eyes.
The silver data font comes into view.
【Tessie fluorescent algae (high psychicogenic environmental mutant strain)】
【Level 1 Psionic Plant: Advanced】
[The psionic evolution of Tessie Chlorella, which inhabits tropical coastal waters, will release slight pheromones in the middle of the night to lure small shallow water creatures around to approach, and capture them with its own leaves, the glowing fluorescent seaweed sap is corrosive and slightly toxic, and can be used to make medium and high-level light ink after processing, generally used to engrave runes, or amplification materials, and perform psionic skills]
[The mutation of this algae generally stems from the large-scale rapid changes in the surrounding psionic field, and is common in the abnormal movement of the psionic field before the formation of the labyrinth, the relocation of titan creatures, natural disasters, and drastic geological changes]
[Warning, if this mutant is generated on a large scale, be cautious of mutations in the surrounding environment]
A pale blue mist fluttered in front of him, mixed with a hint of scarlet ripples.
Ian's brow furrowed.
"Interesting, behind this algae, can there be several lives involved in the future?"
His expression gradually turned solemn: "I thought it was just a trivial matter of defrauding the discount on behalf of others......"
"But now look, the big one is really coming."
