Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1266 - 1177: Mechanism Wooden Wings

"Has that beast been killed by you? What great skill, warriors!"

The aged voice came with a hint of surprise, "This Fire Raven is cunning by nature, possessing escape skills, making it quite difficult to take its life. For you to slaughter it so quickly is truly impressive!"

"You flatter us, senior. Please take good care of this feather."

Da Yan Gui held up the feather toward the depths of the room, signaling that it was the NPC’s turn to appear. What’s the point of talking through empty space? Hurry up and hand over the quest reward—no need for this pretentious act!

"Cough, cough, cough, warriors, please wait; I need to pull up my pants."

Uh.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

After a while, the sound of footsteps gradually approached, and an emaciated old man with hands clasped behind his back walked over. Judging from his appearance and mannerism, he didn’t seem different from a normal human being. However, the single black wing on his back clearly indicated that he had no kinship with humankind.

Seeing this single wing, Su Ran was startled. Since ancient times, wings have appeared in pairs, even on the statues outside. It seems this fellow had a tough first half of his life, and if there’s anyone to blame, it’s his father who gave him a fine name. Why name him something like Xixing Seng (Monk Journeying Westward)? His life is destined to be full of ups and downs, ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties—just wait and see!

After inspecting the upper half of the body, Su Ran unconsciously glanced at the NPC’s pants.

Hmm, these pants come with their own elastic band; no belt needed, just a pull and they come down.

"This is indeed a Fire Raven feather, hahaha, good, good!"

After receiving the feather, Xixing Seng examined it closely for a moment, then let out three excited laughs. His hoarse voice echoed in the room; the sound was so grating that Su Ran felt goosebumps all over.

Youtong’s reaction was even more extreme, frowning and plugging her ears right away.

"Swoosh!"

Xixing Seng had no time to care about everyone’s expressions as he tossed the feather high into the air with force. It instantly transformed into a fiery red gleam, cutting through the darkness, and spun rapidly in midair, forming a fiery halo that was extremely conspicuous.

Shortly afterward, the feather abruptly stopped and shot downward, embedding itself directly onto Xixing Seng’s back, right in the gap where the wing was missing. Su Ran fixed his gaze and saw the feather was exactly in that spot.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Xixing Seng, overwhelmed with excitement, turned flush with color and coughed violently several times, bending his back at a 90-degree angle. His back muscles tensed gradually, and upon reaching his limit of endurance, he finally let out a shout, "Evil Flame Wing, appear!"

"Boom!"

The feather erupted into a three-meter-long red flame, shooting out from Xixing Seng’s back, expelling all the darkness from the room. The fiery glow solidified, transforming into the shape of a wing, almost identical to the single black wing he already had. The only difference was the color, which seemed quite fitting.

The red and black wings unfurled on Xixing Seng’s back, and as they flapped steadily, he slowly rose from the ground, floating in the air, his figure appearing much larger.

"Damn, Brother Overturning Water, would you say this counts as a loser’s turnaround?"

Da Yan Gui looked at Xixing Seng in the air, astonished. A frail old man, through a magnificent transformation, displayed such an imposing visual effect—like a completely different person! It seemed investing money into games for wings was pretty essential, at the very least for boosting one’s image points!

Those online games, in their bids to attract players, hook them with ads like ’First top-up gift: Wings, VIP’, and indeed they grip people’s hearts!

"Of course it does. If you had wings, you could turn around your fate too!"

Su Ran’s attention was captivated by the dazzling effect of the wings, filled with fantasies. If he had those wings plus the Treading on Air Technique, he would definitely be awesomely cool and jaw-droppingly amazing!

"Damn, are you implying that I’m a loser in a roundabout way?"

"Aren’t you?"

Su Ran’s words instantly deflated the Smoke Ghost’s temper.

"Overturning Water brother, you can’t talk about my Ghost like that, even though it’s true, but you shouldn’t just blurt it out!"

Youtong came in with a divine finishing move and burst out laughing after she said it.

One could only imagine how depressed the Smoke Ghost must have been feeling right then.

"Warrior, you have given me back my confidence, this is your task reward, please take good care of it."

The Western Pilgrim slowly descended and handed a wooden box to the Smoke Ghost, "This is a mechanical wooden wing that I made in my spare time; it allows you to achieve low-altitude flight, and the effect should be pretty good."

"Mechanical wooden wings!"

The moment he heard the word "wings", the Smoke Ghost’s spirits were instantly lifted, his prior gloom swept away. How could he not understand the preciousness of this item? Being able to freely soar in the sky was something he had always longed for. When he saw Su Ran’s carefree demeanor while using the Treading on Air Technique in the Divine Wood Forest, he could only envy her, and now it was finally his turn, how could he not be excited!

"Ghost, come on and let me play with it first!"

Youtong was the first to exercise her girlfriend privileges, not even waiting for the Smoke Ghost to take the task reward, she already started asking for it.

The Creamy Youngster didn’t feel anything worth envying, after all, she had a flying pet, and flying in the air was not difficult. However, when it came to Gu Yue, it was a different story. She eyed the mechanical wooden box with burning desire, and any perceptive person could tell what she was thinking.

"Thanks for the gift, senior, I’m extremely grateful."

After the Smoke Ghost finished his polite words, he reached out to take the mechanical wooden box, reluctantly glanced at this treasure, and then passed it to Youtong.

There was no helping it, a girlfriend was a treasure not even divine weapons could replace, let alone this mechanical wooden box.

After weighing his options, the Smoke Ghost chose to cave in.

However.

To the Smoke Ghost’s surprise, the mechanical wooden box turned out to be untradable because it was a bound item.

"Xiaotong, it’s bound, I can’t let you play with it, what a pity."

The Smoke Ghost held back a laugh, squeezed out a helpless expression, and naturally put the mechanical wooden box away.

"Hmph, the system is too mean, finally there’s a superior item, and it can’t be traded, got me excited for nothing!"

Youtong stamped her foot in frustration and had no choice but to give up, her gaze toward the Western Pilgrim even carried a hint of resentment.

"Mechanical wooden box, activate!"

At that moment, the Smoke Ghost was very excited, he didn’t care whether the Western Pilgrim would blame him, he activated the mechanical wooden box right there and then.

Only the sound of clicking was heard continuously, as the mechanical wooden box opened and automatically transformed, a pair of oddly shaped wooden wings appeared in front of everyone.

"Pfft... hahahaha!"

"Haha, I can’t take it, let me laugh a bit more~!"

"What is this thing, surrendering with a white flag? Hahahaha..."

Upon seeing the true face of the wooden wings, everyone burst into laughter, the Smoke Ghost’s face turned green then white, wishing he could throw the wooden wings onto the ground.
