Chu Chen looked around and found that everyone was basically checking the patterns, colors, shapes, and sizes of the Beast Taming Eggs.
Seeing this, Chu Chen also pretended to examine them, but his Slaughter Atlas remained open.
As time passed, Chu Chen had already checked over a dozen shelves, but the result was as he expected; there were no high-quality Beast Taming Eggs here. The best he saw was the Elite Level Middle Grade Red Flame Snake.
With this Red Flame Snake Beast Taming Egg as a fallback, this egg gamble was sure not to lose.
Chu Chen wasn't in a hurry as he leisurely strolled between the shelves.
He quickly looked through all the Beast Taming Eggs and, luckily enough, found one that barely caught his eye.
This Beast Taming Egg was about the size of a football, oval in shape, with a white base color and irregular black stripes on it.
It was a Shadow Frost Rat Beast Taming Egg, which could reach an Outstanding Level Middle Grade and was worth more than one million Alliance Coins.
After filling in the numbers for the Red Flame Snake and Shadow Frost Rat, Chu Chen casually added eight other numbers and handed them to the staff.
It's not that there were only these two relatively decent Beast Taming Eggs on all the shelves, but that Chu Chen did it deliberately.
The reason was simple. He wasn't stupid; if two valuable eggs were among ten, people would only marvel at his good luck.
If more than three appeared, it might attract the attention of interested parties.
If more than five appeared, then he could only apologize, as the City Lord might personally seek a conversation with him.
After all, over ninety percent of these Beast Taming Eggs were of Ordinary Quality, and showing off too much would only put him in danger.
Not long after, everyone present had chosen their Beast Taming Eggs.
Next was the appraisal stage. The drowsy onlookers perked up, looking expectantly at the selected Beast Taming Eggs.
"This time, I am sure I can stand out and pick a high-quality Beast Taming Egg," Gu Zhen said confidently.
Gu Hui laughed and said, "Ha, I don't know where you get your confidence from. I say the Beast Taming Egg I picked will certainly yield an outstanding quality."
Chu Chen couldn't help but shake his head as he listened to their conversation. He had just checked the Beast Taming Eggs they had chosen, and not to mention an outstanding quality, there were only two of Elite Quality. The first was in Gu Hui's selected Beast Taming Eggs, and the other was with Zhang Yuyan.
"Alright, now comes the exciting moment. I wish all of you can appraise an outstanding level Beast Taming Egg. Without further ado, let's start the appraisal," said the middle-aged man with a smile.
As each Beast Taming Egg was placed in the appraiser, their information appeared quickly in front of everyone.
"Damn, such bad luck, not a single Elite Quality appeared," a man said angrily.
After paying the fee, the man left in a huff.
Then came the second person, the third person...
Until the fifth person's ten Beast Taming Eggs finally revealed an Elite Level Lower Grade Beast Taming Egg.
The onlookers began to discuss.
"What's going on today? Could it be that this batch of Beast Taming Eggs is problematic?"
"I think so too. I was originally planning to play a few rounds, but now I think I'll pass."
"Don't rush off. There are many Gambling Egg Pavilions on Lamp Street. I heard that yesterday in the Wealthy Gambling Egg Pavilion, someone opened an Outstanding Level Lower Grade Beast Taming Egg, and it cost nearly a million to acquire it."
"Maybe we should go check it out."
The middle-aged man hosting the event heard the discussions and his face turned sour immediately.
He managed the first floor, and its revenue was tied to his performance. If guests went elsewhere, it wouldn't just be about money; he might be replaced directly.
The man turned and spoke solemnly to the staff in charge of appraisals: "Speed up, don't waste time."
Upon hearing this, the staff member quickly sped up the appraisal process.
The middle-aged man then nodded with satisfaction, as he had extensive experience handling such situations. As long as high-quality Beast Taming Eggs could be appraised quickly, the problem of customer loss could be solved.
Whether luck was too good or too bad, in the following selections of Beast Taming Eggs by several individuals, Elite Quality Beast Taming Eggs were appraised, but they were only Elite Level Middle and Lower Grade.
The middle-aged manager seemed not completely satisfied, but fortunately, the issue of customer loss did not arise.
In the Li Family of Black Mist City, an elder sat at a desk, staring blankly ahead as if in thought.
At this moment, a stout man rushed in hurriedly.
"Patriarch, Chu Chen and his group are gambling eggs at the Black Mist Gambling Egg Pavilion."
The elder returned to his senses upon hearing this, raising his right index finger to tap the armrest of his chair repeatedly.
After pondering for a moment, the elder said in a deep voice: "Go find Master Chen, let's go to the Gambling Egg Pavilion and get some interest back first."
The sturdy man quickly exited upon hearing this.
At this time, the Beast Taming Eggs chosen by Gu Hui and others had already been appraised, but the results were disappointing for them.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford the two hundred thousand; it was mainly an issue of experience, and they couldn't help but feel somewhat let down.
"Brother Chu, now it's your turn. If you don't appraise a high-quality Beast Taming Egg, we will have failed entirely. But in this way, we'll find peace in our hearts," Gu Zhen said with a smile.
Chu Chen replied without much patience: "Can't you just encourage me a bit? Who knows, I might pick out a high-quality one."
While the two were bantering, the appraisal of Chu Chen's selected Beast Taming Eggs had begun.
The first was Ordinary Level, the second was Ordinary Level, the third was still Ordinary Level, and up to the eighth was still Ordinary Level.
Since Chu Chen was the last to be appraised, the onlookers seemed to have lost their patience, with some already considering leaving, as there was no excitement for the time being.
"Sigh! I was right," Gu Zhen added at an inappropriate time.
"Shut your crow's mouth," Gu Hui said with some displeasure.
Chu Chen gestured with his hand and said, "It's okay. A mere two hundred thousand, I can bear it."
Gu Hui sighed with relief, but she still shot a glare at Gu Zhen.
Sometimes, joking requires a certain degree; crossing that line can offend people.
At this time, the ninth Beast Taming Egg was appraised.
The middle-aged manager, looking at the information displayed on the screen, called out loudly: "Elite Level Middle Grade Red Flame Snake, we are willing to offer two hundred thirty thousand to buy it back. What do you think, young man?"
The crowd paused their departure upon hearing this.
"No rush, there's still one more Beast Taming Egg yet to be appraised. Perhaps it's of an even higher quality," Chu Chen said with a feigned look of expectation.
"Haha, alright, let's discuss it after this last Beast Taming Egg is appraised."
Soon, the last Beast Taming Egg was appraised.
The middle-aged manager, looking at the information on the screen, said excitedly: "Outstanding Level Middle Grade Shadow Frost Rat, young man, you are truly lucky. We are willing to offer one hundred twenty thousand for it."
Before Chu Chen could respond, an elder among the onlookers suddenly said, "Wait, I'll offer one hundred twenty-three thousand, would you sell it to me, young man?"
The middle-aged manager merely cast a glance at the elder and did not intervene, as such occurrences were clearly not uncommon for him.
