Carla: "This is the initial report that was attached to the shipment, with a preliminary appraisal for all the objects. Let's start by comparing your appraisal with the report."
Alan: "So the provider of this shipment also performs an appraisal on all objects, but what if their appraisal was wrong and we found a lower-class treasure than mentioned in the report or maybe higher? What do you do in this case, big sister?"
Carla: "Actually, we do nothing; our suppliers are all frontliners, although it has a bit of a gambling side to it to get resources with unconfirmed classification, but 90% of the time any chamber of commerce will be making a profit, as it rarely happens that we end up on the losing side, but there is no way to return the object as there is no refund, so whatever we've got, we will make do with."
Alan and Carla started going through the 40 objects, reviewing the initial report provided by the supplier and comparing it with Alan's appraisal.
Carla and Mr. Jan were shocked to find that Alan not only appraised all the 40 objects, but his own appraisal is much more detailed.
Going through the objects one by one until they reached the 37th object, that was when Carla said:
Carla: "Object number 37, a third-class ice crystal."
Alan: "That's where you are wrong, big sister; it is not a third-class ice crystal."
Carla: "Just like I told you, there will always be a deviation between the initial report and our own appraisal, but it does not make that much difference. So what is the result of your appraisal of number 37?"
Alan: "The object number 37 is a 7th class natural treasure of the ice attribute. It is called the siren crystal tear. Here is the result of my appraisal."
With a smile on his face, Alan handed over the result of his own appraisal of the object number 37 to Carla, who was frozen as she took the paper from Alan's hand.
Carla immediately read through the report. Not only her but Mr. Jan and Jaden couldn't help but get closer to take a look, from the expression on their faces that only reflected disbelief.
Mr. Jan: "It is really a 7th-class natural treasure; oh my God, it might be the first time I ever saw a precious treasure such as this."
Jaden: "This type of treasure almost does not appear in our small town at all."
Carla, who has read the report multiple times, looked at Alan in disbelief.
Carla: "Little brother, are you by any chance a god of wealth that has been sent to take care of your big sister?"
Alan could only dryly laugh at Carla's bad joke.
Carla: "Mr. John, we can't handle the sale of such treasure. First contact Grandpa Yan; we will send the treasure back to our main division in the city.
Make sure to tell Grandpa that Alan was the one who found this treasure. His cut will be 50% of its value, and we will use the other 50% to procure more resources that we need. For a while we will not have any deficiency regarding resources.
Mr. Jan immediately took the report from Carla and headed back to the main building to contact Elder Yan.
After Carla calmed down, she and Alan finished going through the remaining objects.
Both of them went back to Carla's office, while Jaden stayed in the warehouse to study Alan's reports.
….
Carla herself made some tea and sat down with Alan inside the office.
Carla: "Little brother, soon you will be very wealthy. Why don't you invite me to dinner? I promise I won't cost you much. In fact, to save any extra expenses, why don't you invite me to your house, or do you look down on your big sister?"
Alan, who saw Carla start acting and playing a melodrama again on her own, couldn't help but feel a headache coming.
Alan: "Big sis I promise you I will extend the invitation soon, but right now I have too much to do and so much to focus on as I want to transform the resources that I bought recently into my own strength. Consuming them will take a few weeks; after everything calms down, I will invite you and big sister Laura to a feast that I will cook personally.
Carla: "oh my God you know how to cook you are practically the perfect package little brother you have to be careful of the green tea bee's out there, I won't insist and I will wait for your invitation. It will take a few days to process both the treasures that you found and appraised but your cut will probably be in the hundreds of million so you will have all the resources that you need and much more"
Alan: "Then I have to thank big sister for her help I will definitely make a heavenly feast for you soon"
Carla: "By the way, as you will have more than enough resources, why don't you contract another beast? As I've read previously in your information, you only contracted one snake species beast, but now you can afford to contract another one, maybe two even. You know that a first-stage beast tamer can contract up to three beasts, but not many do because of the huge amount of resources needed to cultivate three beasts simultaneously, but now you are a little rich man, so why don't you think about it? We have an extensive collection of beasts in our best hatchery. If you want, I can take you there and show you the best we have."
Alan sank deep in thought after he listened to Carla's suggestion; it was valid, but for him, quality is much more important than quantity, especially when choosing a lifelong partner, and for now, Nova is all that he needs, so he immediately answered.
Alan: "I'd like to focus right now on my own growth and my beast; although, I have the resources to contract more. I still want to wait, as I value quality more than quantity; building a special bond with your own contracted beast is the most important for me now."
Carla: "Well, I understand and respect your way of thinking, and my offer will still stand whenever you need it."
After thanking Carla, Alan got out of the building and headed home, as he wanted to use the next few days to concentrate on cultivation and refining his own art.
….
The moment Alan entered the door to his house, Little Lily came running to greet him.
Lily: "You're back, big brother. I want to play with Nova. Can I?"
Alan, who looked at the cute little devil, couldn't refuse at all.
Alan: "Of course you can, but only in the training room. Nova has become big now as she grows every day, so she can't play all over the house, or you will break all the furniture. Is that okay?"
Lily: "How big did Nova become? Can I see? Can I see?"
Alan took Lily to the training room, taking out Nova from his sanctuary. Lily, who was watching, was shocked to find that Nova had become much bigger than herself and maybe even her brother.
Nova, who saw her master, and Lily greeted them with a simple gesture.
Alan: "Nova, why don't you go and play with Lily? Be careful when you play with her and don't get out of the training room."
Nova, who listened to her master's request, immediately nodded her head and moved toward Lily, who was still shocked.
Nova gave Lily the signal to ride on its back; at first, Lily didn't understand, but when Nova moved herself and carried Lily on her back, Lily's nervousness evaporated, and the two started moving around and playing in the room.
Standing at the door of the training room and watching all of this was his mother, Ariana.
Ariana: "Little Nova indeed is growing faster and faster every day. How have you been, my little prince?"
Alan looked back at his own mother. He can clearly see that after a few days of rest, her complexion is getting better and better.
Alan: "I'm fine; in fact, today at work I found a very precious treasure for my employer, and I'm going to make a good fortune on it."
Ariana, who heard what Alan had said, was immediately surprised, but she knew how hard-working her son can be. Leaving him independent and watching over him was always one of her policies as a parent to allow the child to grow and maximize on his growth.
So she smiled and said
Ariana: "It's good that your work is going very well, but don't forget about school; you haven't been going for a few days."
Alan: "I will go in the next few days. Don't worry about it, Mother. What do you want to eat? I'll make dinner tonight"
Ariana: " My Little Prince is spoiling me everyday I might become useless if you do all the cooking yourself, but you're cooking is very delicious and no one can't say no for that how about we have pizza tonight"
Alan: "as you wish my lady, this Little night will prepare the most delicious pizza that you have ever eaten"
Ariana who listened to Alan playing the role of a knight was amused and laughed.
That night everyone had a very delicious pizza even Nova tried it.
Before going to sleep, Alan fed Nova another third stage core, but this time Nova didn't fall asleep, so he put her inside his sanctuary to confirm how much growth one third stage core can affect the current Nova.
