Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1243 - 1155: Fusion (Two in One)_2

"p>If they find out the safe zone’s not working for me, this is going to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys..."

"Understood."

Nan Qiang burst into laughter, wanting to slap Su Ran on the back but swiped at the air instead. He didn’t take it personally and said with a smile, "You’re something else, kid, daring to snatch food from the jaws of the tiger all by yourself at Dai Xuan’s. I’m proud of you! Don’t mind those cursing you, remember, barking dogs seldom bite!"

"Quit the chit-chat and let’s go already!"

Bei Diao pulled Su Ran into the team, ignoring the laughing brute as they quickly made their way to the warehouse. He had noticed the safe zone lit up with dozens of flashes of light, and many players were returning to the city at that moment. This was worth pondering, and chances were high that it had to do with the Dancing Demons guild.

The trio arrived at the warehouse without a hitch and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kid, do you have any more Platinum gear that I could use? You can’t play favorites now, can you?"

Nan Qiang spoke with an air of nonchalance, extending his hand to Su Ran as if he weren’t a stranger.

"You’ve got some nerve, thinking Platinum gear grows on trees like cabbages? Stop making it hard for the kid. We’re all very busy, and time is precious! The event has been open for so long, and I haven’t caught a single pet yet. Can you believe that?"

Bei Diao pulled him aside, and gave Su Ran a smile. Though he didn’t say much, his expression said it all.

"Bro Bei Diao, here’s your fan. You take care of the appraisal and stuff, haha."

Su Ran handed over the fan to Bei Diao with a truly sincere smile on his face, even though they couldn’t see it.

As for Bei Diao, Su Ran had a very high opinion of him. Being able to front over ten million, that required great courage and trust!

Thanks to this transaction, the barriers between Su Ran and the two bosses had disappeared. These guys were worth bonding with.

"Haha, thanks, kid. I’m off to get it appraised. I’ll treat you to a meal another day!"

Bei Diao grabbed the fan and stuffed it into his bag before the fan could even emit a glow. He hurried out of the warehouse, leaving behind a stunned Nan Qiang and a secretly amused Su Ran.

"Dammit, Bei Diao, that’s low even for you!!!"

Nan Qiang had come to witness the sophistication of Platinum weapons but never expected this ruse. Damn, that was just mean!

"Bro Overturning Water, sorry for the show. I’ll catch up with you when I’m free, got to go!"

Soon, Su Ran was the only one left in the warehouse, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cooler, making him slightly uncomfortable. Seeing the genuine camaraderie between the two bosses made Su Ran envious. Having a brother in arms is worth living a lifetime for!

"Whoosh!"

Su Ran didn’t linger any longer and teleported back to his own territory. Unbeknownst to him, Dai Xuan had indeed brought people to ambush him, with dozens waiting at the warehouse entrance for Su Ran to show up.

Unfortunately, their plan was doomed to fail. After waiting for ages without sight of their target, Dai Xuan’s face grew terribly dark. All the players didn’t dare breathe a word, afraid to attract any wrath.

...

"Feels like a dream. If it’s a dream, I hope I never wake up."

Su Ran had just completed a transaction worth millions. Not feeling thrilled would be a lie, especially now that he had a fortune in hand, everything seemed so surreal. His eyes showed a hint of confusion, but he soon snapped back to reality. No matter how much money he made, his bank card was still clutched in his mother’s hands. Without control over it, all those digits meant nothing but numbers—what’s there to get excited about?

"Yeah, thinking like that makes it much easier to handle."

Shaking his head to clear away the stray thoughts, Su Ran then focused on his own earnings, continuing the work of inventorying his spoils. If another piece of Platinum gear turned up, with Su Ran’s mental fortitude, he’d definitely smile but wouldn’t flinch!

But as it turned out, Su Ran was being too imaginative.

He rummaged through the spoils of battle, unable to find a single piece of equipment worth noting. Although there were plenty of potions that had burst forth, they were of no use to him. If it wasn’t for the infinite bladder space, he would have cleared these potions out long ago.

"Next, fusion!"

After sorting all the spoils, Su Ran didn’t hesitate to take out the cube.

[Pet Fusion Stone](Special)

Upon use, it creates a space with a primary and secondary pet formation. After a successful fusion, the primary pet has a 60% chance to evolve, and the secondary pet disappears; a 30% chance for the secondary pet to evolve and the primary to disappear; a 10% chance of fusion failure, resulting in the disappearance of both pets.

Note: The primary and secondary pets must be of the same tier to undergo fusion; the success rate for dark gold and above pets to fuse successfully is halved successively.

This was an opportunity given to Su Ran by Xue Wuqing, an item that is nearly useless to others but is an extremely rare treasure for him. At the very least, he had plenty of pets to use as fusion material, and with his Luck Value, he had a good chance to increase the success rate substantially.

Su Ran had this confidence.

After deliberation over this period, he decided to take a gamble with the little zombie and the skeleton centipede. The tiers of his other pets were too high, making the fusion success rate frighteningly low, and the loss from a failure was too much to bear. ƒreewebɳovel.com

The little zombie was a special pet without tier restrictions, so using it for fusion wouldn’t decrease the success rate, and the skeleton centipede’s attack power was far stronger than the little zombie’s. A mutual fusion between them should result in a drastic improvement in the little zombie’s strength.

After all, such an opportunity for evolution was rare, and missing it wasn’t Su Ran’s style!

"May the goddess of luck favor me this time—please don’t let it fail..."

Before using the cube, Su Ran took extra precautions and directly used a Lucky Crystal, although it only added a little temporary luck. As for the 3 points of Luck Value reduced by the ’Soul Devouring Sand curse’ from the Dragon Soul Sand, only his lack of a storage facility in his domain was to blame for this setback.

Well, a Luck Value of 12 points was enough for him to take a gamble.

Su Ran’s gaze grew resolute as he directly used the cube in his hand.

"Whirr."

The moment the cube was activated, the black and white blocks on it instantly dismantled, floating before Su Ran and forming a three-meter squared black and white domain on the ground. Within this domain, there were two formations, one black on the left and white on the right, looking quite mysterious.

"Ding! Player Skeleton, please assign the primary and the secondary pets and place them on the respective left and right formations."

The system’s prompt was very considerate, saving Su Ran any time-wasting on the process. He summoned the little zombie and the skeleton centipede, placed them on the formations as instructed, and waited for the moment of fusion success.

"Hmm hmm."

The little zombie ended up in an unfamiliar place, curiously touching the black block and then the white one, happily ignorant of what was to come. Indeed, ignorance is bliss.

The skeleton centipede, however, was different. It curled up as if it already knew its fate, its gaze at Su Ran filled with loss and reluctance, like a child who had erred, hoping its master would forgive it.

In that instant, a hint of regret surged from the bottom of Su Ran’s heart, along with the impulse to forcibly stop the fusion. Seeing how sentient the skeleton centipede seemed, he felt it was too cruel, and his conscience struggled to accept it.

Survival of the fittest, an ancient law of existence, and the limited space for his pets was the most normal operation. But having seen the human-like side of the skeleton centipede, Su Ran’s heart wavered.

"Swish!"

The black and white blocks suddenly converged, enveloping the little zombie and the skeleton centipede within, forming a gigantic cube that blocked Su Ran’s view, preventing him from seeing what was happening inside. He could only silently pray, hoping there would be no fusion failure.

However.

When the cube disappeared into the air and Su Ran saw the result of the fusion, he was stunned. Then he burst into laughter, the previous twinge of guilt vanishing into thin air, "Ha ha, this evolution is really interesting. What a waste of emotions!"
