Pokémon Origins

Chapter 92: Assessment of Intermediate Elf Appraiser

Everyone came to the Elf Alliance Center in Tianhai City, pushed open the door of the majestic building, and stepped into the alliance.

The interior of the Alliance Center also looked very large. The first floor alone was five meters high, and the area was difficult to calculate with the naked eye. There was a layout map at the door, and there was no tedious inspection. After a simple registration, everyone flocked to the layout map.

It is not difficult to see from the outside structure that the Alliance Center has two floors. The layout map even details the first floor where Zi Mu and his companions are located, dividing the first floor into four parts as follows:

Feedback on important matters: used for trainers to feedback information. The Alliance will handle it as soon as possible after receiving it. It is often used to supervise wild Pokémon and rioters. The alliance members in this department are resolute, strong and efficient.

Important certificate processing: used for distribution of certificates after passing the alliance certification professional test. Some real estate, elf breeding houses, and elf product production licenses are all under the jurisdiction of this department.

Alliance cadre report: It is sent by all registered trainers of the alliance and directly accepted by the alliance headquarters. All cadres who accept the report will be suspended immediately and their powers will be restored after confirmation. It is used to control the behavior of members within the alliance. Regardless of the level of the trainer, the Pokémon Alliance Center adheres to the principle of equality for all and the supremacy of the law.

Certified event management: Alliance certified event application and award distribution center. Any certified event will be supervised by professional referees of the alliance, which is absolutely fair and eliminates all violations.

In addition to the brief introduction, each department also has many sub-departments and process structure diagrams. Among these four departments, the largest area is for important certificate processing, followed by certification event application, and the rest is almost evenly divided between league cadre reporting and important matters feedback.

After looking at the structure of the first floor and the functions of each department, Zi Mu couldn't help but sigh at the Alliance's working style. Although he could only see the tip of the iceberg, he always felt that the Alliance Center was very similar to his country in his previous life.

After looking at the first floor, everyone looked at the second floor. This time it was not divided into several large templates like the first floor. In the overall layout of the second floor, there was only one department: Trainer Qualification Testing.

Of course, this does not mean that the area of ​​the second floor is smaller than that of the first floor. The distribution map shows that the area of ​​the second floor is exactly the same as that of the first floor. In other words, this department alone is equivalent to the four departments on the first floor.

Trainer Qualification Test: This is where important qualifications such as Pokémon Appraiser and Pokémon Breeder are tested. In addition, qualifications above the elite level trainer must also be certified at the Alliance Center.

"Elf Appraiser..." Zi Mu looked at the distribution map on the second floor and searched carefully. After a while, he finally found their destination.

"Found it! Here."

Zi Mu pointed excitedly at a place on the distribution map, and it was written on it: Elf Appraiser Examination Center!

After hearing Zi Mu's words, everyone gathered around and carefully examined the specific distribution above.

"Is it here?" Compared to them, Long Haoze was obviously more familiar with the distribution of the alliance center. The layout of each alliance branch was similar. He just took a quick look and then pointed to a place very purposefully.

Everyone looked in the direction Long Haoze pointed.

The examination place for intermediate appraiser of all attributes!

"This is it!" Zi Mu looked at this place, his eyes lit up, he raised his head and said to everyone, "There is no time to lose, let's go up and take the test now, we can have a barbecue when we go back tonight!"

He didn't think he would die here. Ever since he made up his mind to set up an elf breeding house, the certification of an intermediate elf appraiser had never been out of his plan.

He's not going to pass? That's hilarious.

"Hello, sir and madam, what are you here for testing?"

There were dozens of elevators leading to the second floor. Everyone chose one and just as they arrived at the second floor, they were stopped by the staff at the elevator entrance.

"Hello, we are here to take the exam to become an elf appraiser. How can we get there?"

Zi Mu looked at the staff in front of him and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Yes, sir." After hearing what Zi Mu said, the staff member raised his head and looked at the few people. There was a flash of shock in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, bent down slightly, and made a "please" gesture, "Please follow me."

After saying this, the staff member who spoke greeted the other staff members who were on standby and led Zi Mu and the others towards the elf appraiser's inspection area.

After walking for about five minutes, the staff member finally stopped and turned back to Zi Mu and said, "We're here, sir. This is the testing location for the elf appraisers."

"In order to protect your privacy, I can only send you here. If you want to take the exam at any stage, just go in directly."

The staff member bowed slightly to everyone, looked at everyone again, and then left quickly.

"Hey!" Zi Mu couldn't help but say after the staff member walked away, "The service at this Alliance Center is really considerate, and there are even special people to pick us up."

"That's because you want to take the exam for an appraiser certificate. Your family background must be good to be able to take the exam for an appraiser at your age. Not only that, look at what Zemei and I are wearing on our chests."

Su Xier rolled her eyes at her and pointed at the badges on her chest and Long Haoze's chest that were worn at some point.

"What are you wearing?" Zi Mu naturally recognized the badges on the two men's chests and suddenly realized.

"Come with me."

Su Xier waved her hand, signaling everyone to follow her. She was obviously more familiar with the second floor of the Elf Alliance Center. After all, she was a serious intermediate elf breeder.

"Here, go in by yourself, we'll be waiting for you outside."

After walking around the testing area for a while, there weren't many people, and we soon arrived at Zimu's testing point.

There were only about four or five people in front of Zimu, not many. Zimu turned his head to look at everyone, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Wait for my good news!"

After saying that, he stretched out his arms, made a strong gesture, turned around and went to line up.

"come on!"

Watching Zi Mu leave, Su Xier's eyes couldn't help but become a little nervous, and she couldn't help but silently wish Zi Mu well in her heart.

Even though Tianhai City is the capital of Nanlin Province, the Tianhai Alliance branch only supports the acquisition of advanced qualification certificates at most. To obtain higher qualifications, one must go to the regional level.

Although the Elf Alliance in Tianhai City has already reached the third level - provincial level, the number of people who come to take the exam to become an intermediate appraiser is still pitifully small. This shows how rare intermediate appraisers are.

Just as Zi Mu was looking around, a voice suddenly came from the queue in front.

"Old Li, how many times have you come to take the exam? You don't even want to waste this once-a-month opportunity!"

Zi Mu looked over and found that it was the staff at the testing entrance talking to a middle-aged man in the queue.

"Alas!" The uncle sighed, patted the staff member on the shoulder, and said, "Sorry to bother you, Xiao Liu, but I have recently felt that my spirit perception is on the verge of a breakthrough. I believe I will be able to pass it in the next two months."

The appraiser's test can be conducted every day. The only restriction is for trainers. If you fail the test, there will be a cool-down period. Although there are not many people who pass the test every day, there are many people who fail. They can't stand the pile-up, so they keep failing and passing!

"Then congratulations in advance!" After hearing the uncle's explanation, the staff member named Xiao Liu didn't say anything, but just smiled and said, "I hope that next time I see you, you will be a high-level elf appraiser!"

Although he said so, he still didn't think much of the uncle in his heart. After all, he had come four or five times...

"Hahahaha! Of course, of course!" The uncle smiled after hearing Xiao Liu's flattery, cupped his hands, and said, "I know this road very well. There's no need for you to lead the way. I can go by myself!"

After saying that, he compared his own elf illustration with Xiao Liu's work illustration, then waved to Xiao Liu and walked into the entrance on the left.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, here, this is my illustrated guide..."

The older uncles who came after that talked with Xiao Liu for a while and then walked into the entrance on the left. Only the fourth person, a pretty woman in her 25s in front of Zi Mu, was different from the others in front of her.

"Huh? What a young appraiser." Xiao Liu looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him, took the illustrated book handed over by the woman, exclaimed, and sighed at the woman's age.

Xiao Liu casually scratched the atlas with his fingers, and the shock in his eyes became even stronger. After a moment, he handed the atlas back to the woman and said, "Miss Gong is really talented. Not only is she gifted as an appraiser, but her spirit cultivation is also several levels higher than that of ordinary people."

He is about the same age as the woman. As a staff member of the alliance, although he does not have the talent of an appraiser, his talent in cultivation should be strong. To be praised by him, it seems that the woman is indeed a rare genius.

Zi Mu touched his chin and continued to eavesdrop with his ears perked up seriously.

"Sir, thank you for your compliment!" Miss Gong took the illustrated book. After hearing Xiao Liu's praise, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and she said with a smile, "This is my first time to take the intermediate appraiser test. Please show me the way!"

"It's an honor to serve you, beautiful lady." Xiao Liu bowed slightly and asked, "May I know what direction you are taking the exam?"

Due to the league's regulations, the trainer's privacy cannot be pried into, so only some brief personal information and league certification can be seen in the trainer's illustrated manual. The staff has no authority to know about Miss Gong's Pokémon and the initial Pokémon affinity, etc.

"Water system." Miss Gong did not hesitate after hearing Xiao Liu's question and said, "Thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome, Miss."

About two minutes after the two of them went in, Xiao Liu came back. Looking at Zi Mu, who was younger than Miss Gong, he couldn't help but be shocked again.

"Hello, sir." Xiao Liu looked at Zi Mu. As a staff member of the alliance, he quickly calmed down and said to Zi Mu, "Please show me your illustrations."

Zi Mu obediently handed over the atlas. Anyway, these files were no secret to the alliance, so he just handed them over. It was like a lady sleeping with someone once, and after sleeping with them many times, she would get used to it.

"Hmm..." Xiao Liu looked at the illustrated book with an unprecedentedly exciting expression on his face. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir... you wouldn't... take the intermediate elf appraiser exam without passing the junior elf appraiser exam... right?"

In his authority, the illustration will show the trainer's name, level, certification number, and a brief job description, etc. For example, Zi Mu's illustration shows:

"Illustrated Book Owner: Zimu

Age: 19

Certification number: 19990521

Level: 20 (Beginner Pokémon Trainer)

Number of certified elves: 2 (no permissions)

Professional certification: None

A normal appraiser or breeder, such as Su Xier's illustration, should be like this:

"Illustrated Book Owner: Su Xier

Age: 19

Certification number: 20020719

Level: 23 (Intermediate Pokémon Trainer)

Number of certified elves: 4 (no permissions)

Occupational certification: Elf breeder (no authority)"

In comparison, Zi Mu's illustrated book has no professional certification, and the faces are strangers that Xiao Liu has seen for the first time. Considering Zi Mu's age, Xiao Liu can only draw this conclusion.

"Ah?" Zi Mu was stunned. He saw that he could enter the exam after handing in the illustration book. He didn't expect that he would be so special. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I heard from a senior from Encounter Starlight that I can directly pass the exam to become an intermediate appraiser. Is that not possible?"

Coming back to his senses, Zi Mu explained.

"It's not impossible." Xiao Liu hurriedly spoke after hearing Zi Mu's words, "It's just that the cooldown time for junior appraisers, intermediate appraisers, and senior appraisers is different. That is to say, if you fail, it will be calculated according to the cooldown time of the intermediate appraiser. In comparison, the cooldown time of the junior appraiser will be shorter."

The cooling time for a junior elf appraiser is 14 days, which is twice as short. Even if Zimu fails, the waiting time will be shorter. Judging from Zimu's appearance... there is a high probability that he has taken the wrong path...

"So I suggest you take the junior appraiser exam first. If you pass, you can take the intermediate appraiser exam on the same day. It won't be too late by then." After thinking for a while and looking around, Xiao Liu added, "There are not many people here now. I can take you to the junior appraiser testing point, so you don't have to wait in line anymore."

The number of people who pass the exam for junior appraisers is greater than that for intermediate appraisers. If he queues up, it may take some time. I think Zi Mu will not refuse him.

"No need to trouble you, I'll just take the intermediate level."

Xiao Liu was stunned. Zi Mu's words were obviously beyond his expectations. He thought Zi Mu had come to the wrong testing point. After all, it was rare for someone of his age to pass the exam to become an intermediate elf appraiser. It was even more incredible that he skipped the junior appraiser and took the exam to become an intermediate appraiser.

"Are you sure...you didn't take the wrong road?" Xiao Liu held Zi Mu's illustrated book, still feeling a little unbelievable, and asked tentatively for the last time.

"I'm sure, please lead the way!" Zi Mu snatched his own illustration book, feeling somewhat amused and angry. Why were there so many obstacles in his way of passing the intermediate appraiser exam, which was something he could easily achieve?

Still being suspected everywhere, even though it's something that is clearly within my control!
