C3 Identify
Morning to afternoon, the sun in the west.
"Little brother, what do you want from me? "The old man suddenly raised his head.
"I'm poor and don't have any books. I want to borrow them. "Dongfang Qingyu said seriously, his expression sincere.
"Okay! "The old man nodded, his eyes full of praise," Books are the most precious treasures given to the later generations by the ancient people. Here is a book for you, but you need to do one thing for me. "
"That's what I should do "Dongfang Qingyu gladly accepted it.
The old man moved his hand and the book in his hand disappeared. Then Dongfang Qingyu saw a white light shoot towards his mind. He did not have time to react. He felt an additional piece of knowledge in his mind and a pleasant voice rang in his ears.
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for learning the Identification Art. I hope player can continue to work hard.
Identification Art: Level, trainee. Can appraise, check the attributes and levels of items.
The old man led Dongfang Qingyu into a room at the back. It had an ancient aura. Rows of shelves were divided into many small grids. Various items were placed on the shelves. Most of them were dim and looked very ordinary. Dongfang Qingyu glanced at them. There were at least 800 to 900 of them.
"There are 1,000 items to be appraised here. You need to appraise them one by one. For every successful appraisal, you will be rewarded with 5 copper coin. If the appraisal fails, you will be punished with 10 copper coin. Do you understand? "The old man stared at Dongfang Qingyu with a solemn expression.
"Understood!" If he failed, he would have to double it. Dongfang Qingyu did not agree in his heart. But after all, he was in someone else's house. He did not dare to express this kind of intention.
"Very good! "The old man smiled and began to explain some of the techniques and details of the appraisal. He explained it very carefully and easily. Although he only said it once, Dongfang Qingyu felt that he understood everything.
"Master told you the method. The operation depends on you. The rest is up to you. "After the old man finished speaking, he didn't care whether Dongfang Qingyu agreed or not and left. Dongfang Qingyu was the only one left in the room.
There was a distinction between success and failure in appraising an item. There was no need to mention success. If it failed, it would cause a certain amount of damage to the item. Every item was used according to the Durability, and the number of failures was different. After a certain number of times, the item would be damaged to an irreparable degree. This was the so-called 'scrap'. Therefore, appraisers were also a high-risk profession. If they were not careful, they would discard the expensive items that they appraised. They would just wait for others to chase after them.
Dongfang Qingyu picked up a strip shaped item and bid with the Identification Art. Before the item was appraised, one could not see its original appearance. One could only roughly tell the shape and size of the item.
Ding! System Notification: Identification failed. Item Durability -1%. Proficiency + 0. 001%.
The appearance of the item did not change much. However, if one were to look closely, one would see that the luster on the surface of the item had dimmed a little. Another Identification Art was used.
Ding! System Notification: Identification failed. Item Durability -3%. Proficiency + 0. 001%.
The luster of the item dimmed once again. It felt like a piece that had not slept for days and nights, looking haggard.
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for successfully appraising. Proficiency + 0.005%.
There was also proficiency for failing the appraisal, but it was very little. Only after successfully appraising would there be an obvious increase in proficiency.
Machete: Black Iron, Attack 5-11, Attack Speed + 1%, Durability 18 / 20.
After the success, Dongfang Qingyu's mood was greatly lifted. He picked up the second item. It was a relatively small item. It should be a dagger or some other weapon. He used the Identification Art to hit it.
Ding! System Notification: Identification failed. Item Durability - 2 Proficiency + 0.001%
Ding! System Notification: Identification failed. Item Durability -5%, Proficiency + 0. 001%.
After two consecutive failures, Dongfang Qingyu was sweating profusely. The Durability had been reduced by 7%. He did not know what was going on. There was so much more than the previous item. He was trembling with fear as he sent out another Identification Art.
Ding! System Notification: Identification failed. Item Durability -10%. Proficiency + 0. 001%.
This time, Dongfang Qingyu was sweating even more. He almost did not dare to touch it. However, when he saw that there were still so many items on the shelf, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He used the Identification Art and a faint white light bloomed.
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for successfully appraising. Proficiency + 0.005%.
Wolf Fang Dagger: Black Iron, Attack 7-14, Attack Speed + 2%, Durability 17 / 20
Although the dagger was small, its attack was much stronger than a machete. Looking at the dagger shining with a cold light, Dongfang Qingyu let out a heavy sigh of relief. Its attributes were a little stronger, but the difficulty of appraising it had increased by quite a bit. Looking at so many items, he suddenly began to look forward to it. He didn't know if he could appraise a Green-Copper or not.
Ding! System Notification: Identification failed. Item Durability - 2 Proficiency + 0.001%
Ding! System Notification: Identification failed. Item Durability -5%, Proficiency + 0. 001%.
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for successfully appraising. Proficiency + 0.005%.
Dongfang Qingyu repeated the same action mechanically, and the system notification kept ringing in his ears. When he heard that he had failed, he was always frightened. When he heard that he had succeeded... It was as if he had eaten honey. In the beginning, basically, an item needed to be appraised three to four times, or even five times before it could be appraised successfully. Only one successful item was appraised in one go. The most exaggerated item was the white board equipment. It was a peach wood sword. It had failed five times before it was successfully appraised. After making up his mind, there was only a 10% durability left, and he was only a tiny bit away from being scrapped. If it was not repaired, it would basically be discarded after a few times. However, for the white board equipment, basically no one would choose to repair it. Repairing it required a fee. The Durability of the white board equipment was low to begin with. There was no value in repairing it. Therefore, this peach wood sword that had been successfully appraised was actually a useless item. It was not very useful.
However, Dongfang Qingyu couldn't care about that anymore. To him, as long as it wasn't a failure, it was fine. Because if it was a failure, he would have to compensate 10 copper coin.
The sky had unknowingly darkened. When the old man entered the room, Dongfang Qingyu didn't even know that the oil lamp had been lit. His mind was already immersed in the world of appraisal, and he didn't even notice it. From the moment he appraised the one hundred and fifty items, his success rate had started to increase. Basically, he would succeed after three attempts, but only a few would succeed after four attempts. Furthermore, up until now, he had not destroyed a single item. This was extremely rare for beginners.
In the middle of the night, the old man came in to add oil to the lamp. When he saw Dongfang Qingyu's full concentration, he did not disturb him and quietly left. Starting from 500 items, Dongfang Qingyu's success rate increased once again. Basically, he would succeed after two tries. Dongfang Qingyu slowly summarized some new experiences. The success rate of white board equipment was higher than Black Iron. The success rate of equipment with low attributes was higher than equipment with good attributes. The Durability of equipment with poor attributes dropped quickly. Out of the 500 pieces of equipment, there was a relatively different item. It was an item that looked like a ring. After three attempts, they all failed. The Durability dropped by 20%. Dongfang Qingyu chose to put it aside for the time being. Dongfang Qingyu felt that this ring should be of a higher grade. If he continued to appraise it, he should be able to appraise it successfully. However, the Durability would drop by a lot, so he decided to appraise the ring after appraising the other items. He believed that after increasing his proficiency, this ring should not be difficult for him.
Ding! System Notification: Identification failed. Item Durability - 2 Proficiency + 0.001%
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for successfully appraising, Proficiency + 0. 01%.

600 pieces, 700 pieces, 800 pieces, oil lamp extinguished. Looking out the window, the sky was already bright. Unknowingly, the night had passed. Dongfang Qingyu, on the other hand, did not feel tired and was still full of energy. Dongfang Qingyu once again encountered an item that he could not identify. It was a piece of metal. He did not know what it was, but he failed to appraise it twice and did not continue. He put it aside and picked up a new item.
900 pieces. There were faint sounds coming from the streets, and the time of the game was synchronized with the time of the real world. There were many players in the first half of the night, and most of them went to sleep in the second half of the night. However, after a night of rest, those who had recovered their energy could not wait to come online again. Most of them probably did not even have breakfast.
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for successfully appraising. Proficiency + 0. 005%. I hope the player will continue to work hard.
Pig Leather Shoes: Black Iron, Agility + 11, Weight -1, Durability 18 / 20
Dongfang Qingyu also had an additional attribute of Weight. Although the name of the shoes was unpleasant, it's a small treasure. After appraising hundreds of items, Dongfang Qingyu had a better understanding of the equipment. Most weapons and equipment were heavy, and the most obvious ones were shields and armor. The Mage could be equipped with armor, but it was too heavy. After wearing it, one wouldn't be able to move. There was also a giant shield, which Warrior did not use. Only Berserker could use it. Dongfang Qingyu appraised hundreds of items. This was the second time he saw the attribute of weight reduction.
After the appraisal of the pair of shoes was successful, a milky white light fell from the sky. It landed on Dongfang Qingyu's head. The light contained a powerful energy. Dongfang Qingyu's body trembled. Immediately, he felt a boundless energy filling every cell of his body. The feeling of enriching and powerful moved him so much that he almost wanted to cry out. At the same time, a pleasant system notification sounded by his ear.
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for reaching 100% mastery of the Beginner Identification Art and breaking through to the Beginner Identification Art. I hope player can continue to work hard.
Identification Art: Level, Beginner. Can appraise and check the attributes and levels of items.
Dongfang Qingyu was speechless when he saw this. This introduction was really worthy of the two words Introduction. It was extremely simple. He picked up an item and slapped it with the Identification Art. Immediately, he felt the difference between it and an apprentice Identification Art. When the Identification Art fell, he could only feel a faint energy fluctuation. Now, he could see a beam of advanced light.
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for successfully appraising. Proficiency + 0. 0005%.
Dongfang Qingyu's face immediately twitched. Originally, he had successfully appraised it in one go. This was a good thing. However, when he saw the proficiency, he couldn't be happy anymore. After successfully appraising, his proficiency only increased by 0. 0.05%. What if the appraisal failed? When would his next upgrade be?
