Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent frowned after hearing what the man just said.

'What's wrong with this guy?'

He never had an encounter with this person except for yesterday. What confused him more, is that the tone of his voice feels like he already held a deep grudge against him.

"Sir Maurice, I received instructions from Manager Therese on what I should do today." Vincent spoke as he inspected the warehouse.

To be honest, he's quite happy to see this place filled with various items. This is the reason why he wanted to temporarily work in an Auction House after all.

Because this way, he would be able to gain access to many precious weapons and not just some Poor, Common, or Uncommon Items he can always get outside.

Maurice basically fulfilled his intention for coming here by bringing him to this place. However, he still didn't like how he was being treated.

"Miss Therese is the branch manager while I'm the one managing the New Appraisers. Just do what I tell you and don't leave this place until you're finished!" Maurice said with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Vincent found this ridiculous. He was going too far!

However, he has to remain calm as he looked at Maurice's repugnant eyes.

This man's face was also annoying and he really wanted to give him a quick punch to his nose.

"I would like to speak with her first since she had given me a different instruction. She might be waiting for me."

"Hmph! No need. I will be the one telling her. Stop with the nonsense and get to work."

As soon as Maurice said this, he immediately fled as if he was going to inform Therese about this.

Vincent wanted to follow him at first but in the end, he decided not to waste his time with him and continue with his Appraisal here.

'Forget it… I'll leave this Auction House after getting a higher Appraisal level.' Vincent calmed down as he decided to just ignore the man.

Anyway, this is also the reason why he came here… He knows that his Appraisal Skill level was stuck because he's just always relying on appraising Poor or Common quality items.

However, it would be different today!

As soon as he had this thought he started appraising the items on the shelves while also casually wiping them with a cloth to clean them a bit.

[ Damaged Theater Sword – Rare ]

[ Broken Six Spring Chalice – Rare ]

[ Dirty Blue Eunuch Robe – Unique ]

[ Dirty Eunuch Undergarment – Uncommon ]

[ Damaged Literary Book – Common ]

[ Damaged Force Ring – Epic ]

"Hmm?"

As Vincent was randomly appraising the items on the shelves, he was expecting that he would find Rare or Unique items here to hasten the level up of his Appraisal Skill.

However, he was surprised that an Epic Item was actually thrown here in the warehouse!

Although it is damaged, these things should still be valuable, right?

His mood finally got better a little bit as he checked the complete description of the appraisal.

[ Damaged Force Ring ]

[ Quality: Epic

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 25/220

Wind Element Resistance: 10

Push ( Unusable ): In exchange for 40 units of mana, a target within 5 meters of the user can be moved using a powerful pushing force.

Description: A special accessory that provides a powerful pushing force to move a target. It is badly damaged and the skill can't be used.

Remarks: Wind Element Resistance found. Durability and Wind Element Resistance attributes will be upgraded in every enhancement. ]

"No wonder it's brought here…"

Vincent muttered after realizing that the Epic Item is basically useless right now. Unless it was repaired, a Rare Ring would be much better to use than this Epic one.

He put the ring back in its place after wiping it a bit with his dirty cloth and continued appraising the items.

After doing this for half an hour, he couldn't help but realize that this place is basically a treasure trove!

There are so many useful Uncommon and Rare Items here! As for the Unique Items, Vincent found ten of them and the only problem is that their durability was only at 10 to 20%, or they were missing some parts.

Vincent then found a few uncommon items with only 3 to 7 points in durability and decided to enhance them to +5.

This allowed him to earn a few experience points for his Enhancement Skill while also ensuring that nothing will greatly change with the items. Those low durability will only add a dozen or two durability points anyway.

As Vincent was starting to enjoy his time in the dimly lit warehouse, a woman suddenly entered the room and found Vincent carefully cleaning a chalice in front of a crate filled with various items.

"Y-you… You seem to be enjoying this, huh? I even came here thinking that you're sulking…" Therese spoke while crossing her arms and looking at the engrossed person cleaning the item.

This time, she's wearing a different robe and appears charming today than her previous matured aura yesterday. She's also wearing a lighter tone dress beneath her Appraiser Robe as it perfectly accentuates her body.

"Oh! Manager, I was sent here by Sir Maurice… He told me that it was your instruction to bring me here."

Vincent immediately complained as soon as he saw the beautiful manager.

"Haa~ I didn't give him that instruction… I already scolded him and he won't do it again. There will be an auction tomorrow so we have to do the final appraisals on some items. I need your help." Therese said as she gestured to Vincent to follow her.

Of course, he decided to obediently follow. Even though he wanted to continue appraising the items there, he still felt that working together with this beautiful lady would make him more productive.

"If he abused his authority again, would you mind if I do something to him?"

Vincent then asked though he wasn't fully serious if he would really act on it. He just felt that as long as he doesn't get physically harmed, informing Therese may just be enough to deal with it.

"Hmm? He's a Master Magician though… If you think you can deal with him on your own, I wouldn't mind."

"He's a master magician? Is that why he was looking down on me?" Vincent frowned.

Though he lacks combat experience against Mana Practitioners, he knows that any Master Magician would still be crushed by his Cane as long as they were caught off guard.

"Well, I think he has a different reason. Anyway, I'll do my best to make sure he won't abuse his authority again."

"Thanks, Manager Therese." Vincent answered.

At this time, the two finally arrived at the Appraisal Hall to appraise the items to be sold tomorrow.

However, as they were about to start, the ground suddenly trembled and the people outside started screaming…
