Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1772 - 1521 Unexpected Treasure (Two-in-One)_2

"Wow, Overturning Water, you’re amazing! Your charm is so overwhelming that even NPCs are smitten?!"

Banana acted like he’d discovered a new continent, chuckled, and then asked, "Come on, spill it. How long have you two been an item? It’s already gone public?"

"Ah!"

The Drought Fiend acted like a young girl experiencing the taste of love for the first time, shyly covering her face, but alas, her face was too big, and so was the single eye on her forehead—she couldn’t cover it up.

"Overturning Water, not to be harsh, but you’ve got some pretty heavy tastes..."

Xue Wuqing’s expression changed, goosebumps rising from the Drought Fiend’s voice. If it weren’t for the surrounding plague, she would have left this place of trouble long ago.

Qing Qi was even more shocked, looking incredulously from Su Ran to the Drought Fiend, unable to find words to express the inner shock.

"Don’t overthink it, it’s not like that!"

Su Ran didn’t bother to explain. It was his fault for raising the Drought Fiend’s affection level so high. Two words: You deserve it!

Since it was his own doing, he could only bear the misunderstanding.

"Overturning Water, no wonder there’s talk online about you not being interested in women. Now I get it—even the prettiest ones are wasted effort, not meeting your aesthetic standards, haha..."

Banana didn’t even finish his sentence before bursting into laughter. It was clear what fun thoughts were in his head, and everyone present could probably guess.

"Banana, do you believe I could sew your mouth shut?"

Su Ran’s face darkened, thankfully he was wearing a mask which masked his embarrassment, and irritably said, "If you get infected by the plague again, I won’t help you next time!"

"Don’t be like that, big brother, I was just joking to lighten the mood. Surrounded by these toxins, I’m on edge, just trying to ease the tension, don’t be mad."

Banana realized he had gone a bit too far with his joke, hurried to make amends, and dared not mention the topic again.

"What are you all talking about so lively over here? Tell me what I’m missing."

Just then, Uncle Yu used his chicken wings to successfully enter the territory, but as soon as he touched the ground, his face changed. He seemed to feel the presence of repulsion, which made him uncomfortable, though he didn’t show it.

"Don’t bring up the wrong topic, get rid of the poison quickly, and let’s leave here as soon as we’re done!"

Banana wouldn’t show Uncle Yu any kindness. It took so much effort to pacify the mood before, and now if another troublemaker came, if Overturning Water got angry, it would still be his fault!

"Senior, you haven’t mentioned about the repair fluid yet. As I said before, I have obtained this bottle of repair fluid. What do you plan to use as the task reward?"

Su Ran knew this repair fluid must be important to Uncle Yu, otherwise he wouldn’t use special skills in trade. As long as the bargaining chip of this repair fluid was significant, the task reward would not be any less than special skills!

Maybe, there would even be a pleasant surprise, which would be great.

"Nephew, you’re too greedy!"

Uncle Yu’s face was dark, "Wealth is external to the body. Being so obsessed with money puts you at a disadvantage, and you’ll find it hard to succeed in the future!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior. Greed is my lifelong pursuit. With money, even ghosts will do your bidding. Money means power, so it’s clear that money is king!"

Su Ran stated the nonsense with such seriousness, without a hint of discord.

"Overturning Water, I’ve discovered you’re quite shameless."

Banana seemed to be seeing Su Ran for the first time, expressing his sentiment in front of Uncle Yu. There was no way he could hold it back without saying it.

For the first time, Xue Wuqing fully agreed with Banana’s words, and even Qing Qi nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement with Banana’s view.

"Nephew, it seems your character truly isn’t great, which explains your greed."

Uncle Yu thought for a moment, then reluctantly said, "I’ll give you a thousand Divine Coins as a task reward. The value of Divine Coins far exceeds gold coins, more than sufficient to trade for that repair fluid!"

"Senior, in my little domain, what’s the use of Divine Coins? If you were to swap them for Underworld Coins, I could consider it, but Divine Coins, no matter their value, are still useless to me!"

Su Ran was dismissive. He’d only visited the God Race territory a few times, and the Divine Coins held no attraction for him. Moreover, he had not seen a single merchant NPC in the Divine Domain Main City, so where could he use Divine Coins to buy anything?

"Overturning Water, this is the first time I’ve heard of Divine Coins. Are they the mainstream currency in the next game expansion?"

Banana was a bit tempted. After all, according to Uncle Yu, the value of Divine Coins far exceeds that of gold coins. If he could stock up on some Divine Coins now, he might make a big profit in the future!

"I don’t know if they’re mainstream, but I do know that the currency in this village is Underworld Coins."

Su Ran was not swayed by Banana’s words, and he gazed intently at Uncle Yu, curious about what treasures he would produce.

"You don’t want Divine Coins but Underworld Coins? Hahaha, Nephew, only you could come up with something like that."

Uncle Yu laughed as if he’d heard the funniest joke, even his white goatee twitched along with him. But then his face changed, and he started coughing violently, spitting out a cloud of smoke from his mouth. It seemed the plague had infiltrated his lungs. Once his complexion gradually improved, Uncle Yu urgently called out, "Nephew, forget the repair fluid for now, detoxify me quickly!"

"Of course!"

Su Ran also knew that dragging it out further would only incur Uncle Yu’s contempt, and by then, let alone any special treasures, even the thousand Divine Coins wouldn’t be attainable anymore.

It must be said, this Ancient Relic was indeed the bane of toxins, managing to completely counteract them. Even the Ghost Clan plague had no effect on it. For the Ancient Relic, it was like a tonic, welcoming everything!

As for the Mountain Suppression Stone, it only had an effect on curses. No curse in the world could take effect on Skeleton Village; this was the main reason for Han Siying’s failure. But for the plague, the Mountain Suppression Stone had no effect. It’s truly like tofu in brine—every weakness finds a counter!

"Swish, swish, swish."

Su Ran was not as gentle with Uncle Yu, rubbing the relic to detoxify him with considerable roughness, as if he were scraping, which quickly resulted in plenty of red marks. Compared to earlier, Su Ran’s method and treatment couldn’t have been more different.

Fortunately, Uncle Yu was strong enough that this minor setback couldn’t bother him at all. The entire process went without a peep until all the toxins were expelled from his body, and then he finally relaxed.

"Nephew, this relic in your hands is indeed extraordinary. To restrain plague toxins, it should not be an unknown item."

Uncle Yu stared gravely at the relic, then after a moment asked uncertainly, "Is this the Dark Honored One’s Ancient Relic?"

"Wow, sharp eyes! You even recognized the Ancient Relic!"

Su Ran looked at Uncle Yu in surprise, impressed he not only named the relic but also identified its origin—his knowledge definitely surpasses mine!

"There are very few treasures on the entire God-Demon Continent that are fearless of plague toxins, and this Ancient Relic is one of them."

Uncle Yu sighed, "Now that the relic acknowledges you as its master, it seems the Dark Honored One has unfortunately met with trouble."

"Why worry about that? Think about what you’ll use to trade for the repair fluid. Don’t give me anything useless. If there’s no choice, I’ll have to cancel the task."

Su Ran wouldn’t discuss anything about the Dark Honored One with Uncle Yu. Since ancient times, the divine and the demonic have opposed each other; he wouldn’t dampen his own spirits to boost the enemies!

"Since you are fated with the Dark Honored One, I shall fulfill this once. This ancient treasure map shall serve as the task reward to exchange for that repair fluid."

Uncle Yu looked a bit dazed, as if recalling old memories, then took out a simple-looking treasure map, waiting for Su Ran’s reply.

"Ancient treasure map?!"
