Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 592 - 566: Another Skill Acquired

"Undead skeleton, I have a task for you to carry out here. This mission is perilous, so you must be careful,"

After letting off some steam, the Great White Shark returned to his usual calm self. He shifted his gaze to Su Ran, who was standing off in the distance, and continued, "I need you to get the Demon Flame Key for me. This key is crucial for unlocking the Flame Seal Locking Array, and once the seal is undone, I will regain my freedom!"

Oh great, it’s a mandatory mission. There isn’t even room for refusal!

As Su Ran was expressing his astonishment, the system notification arrived as expected, echoing in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, skeleton, for receiving the hidden mission, ’Saving the Great White Shark’. Mission reward: Directional Teleportation Stone. There is no penalty for mission failure."

Well,

now I’ve got the mission. Luckily, there isn’t a time limit for this one, so I don’t have to be constantly worried about it. But, what the heck is this mission reward? A measly rock for helping out a king of the sea?

With this thought, Su Ran instantly lost interest.

"Senior, where is this Demon Flame Key you speak of?"

Su Ran casually asked. After all, he had already accepted the mission, so he had to go through the motions.

"The key is in the Dark Abyss! Hurry, little skeleton, I can’t hold on for much longer in this form due to that damned Flame Seal...I’m about to freeze over and hibernate!"

The flames in the Great White Shark’s eyes conveyed an urgent message. His gaze was filled with expectation for the little skeleton before him.

Well, isn’t it just freezing? If you’re frozen, I could just dig you out!

No wonder there’s no time limit on this mission. So that’s why~!

"But, my journey there is fraught with danger. If it was still the Undead’s territory it would’ve been easier, but now the area is dominated by the Human Race, I fear..."

To maximize the effect, the drama must be prolonged. With a pained expression, Su Ran turned to the Great White Shark and said, "Senior, I’m just a lowly skeleton, frail and weak. To try to bypass the Human Race’s enclosure and safely retrieve the Demon Flame Key...it’s difficult!"

"That...is something I overlooked."

The Great White Shark fell silent for a moment, deeply gazing at Su Ran’s sorrowful gaze. He sighed, saying, "Let it be. I’ll just have to wait for the next fortunate person. This task, I’m going to revoke..."

"Wait!!!"

Seeing that the Great White Shark was about to revoke the task, Su Ran blurted out.

Joking aside, did he think he could revoke the task without giving me any incentives? Nice try!

"What is it, undead skeleton? Is there something else you want to say?"

The Great White Shark was puzzled by Su Ran’s extreme reaction. In his view, sparing him from a suicidal mission was already a great favor. Su Ran’s behavior was slightly unexpected.

"Senior, you jumped to conclusions before I finished what I was saying. What I meant to express was, for Senior’s speedy breakthrough of the seal, and to restore your grandeur, I’ve decided to take a risk! However..."

Su Ran paused and sneaked a glance at the Great White Shark, then continued, "Senior, may I be so bold to ask, do you have any life-saving treasures or skills that could give me a hint of an edge?"

"Hmph, you little skeleton, after all this roundabout talk, this was your ultimate goal, wasn’t it?"

The Great White Shark grinned, showing off his deadly white teeth, which was enough to send chills down Su Ran’s spine.

"I do not have any life-saving treasures, and as for skills, undead skeleton, the skills of a king are not that easy to come by!"

The Great White Shark exhaled a cold breath, which was quickly swallowed up by the heat wave and transformed into a wisp of steam slowly rising, "If you get my skills, even if it kills you, you must bring back the Demon Flame Key!"

"Absolutely, absolutely!"

Su Ran hurriedly accepted. For him, skills were precious. What he needed most right now were skills!

"Roar!"

The Great White Shark increased his aura, swung his tail fin towards Su Ran, and released a water-blue light that pierced through the heat wave and entered Su Ran’s skull.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, skeleton, for mastering the skill ’Surging Wave’!"

"Ding! Due to the player, skeleton, accepting the Great White Shark’s skill, the mission requirement has now changed. The Demon Flame Key must be returned within three days. If the time limit is exceeded, the mission will be considered a failure. Penalties for failure: 1. The skill is forcibly retracted. 2. Level -10. 3. You will suffer the wrath of the Great White Shark."

What the heck!

Seeing the penalty for failing this mission, Su Ran wanted to return the skill to the Great White Shark on the spot...

This really sucks!

The Dark Abyss is so vast, who knows where the damn key is hidden?

"Senior, thank you for your generosity!"

Su Ran clenched his teeth. He had no choice but to bear the consequences of his actions.

"You’re welcome. It’s your duty to express gratitude,"

The Great White Shark nodded his immense skull, "Undead skeleton, don’t let down my skill, hurry and return quickly, don’t exceed the time limit!"

Once he finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Su Ran’s reply. He entered a state of hibernation, the heat wave abruptly receding, and his entire skeleton once again became encased in ice, turning into a large mound of ice that crashed to the ground.

So, teaching a skill made him tired...

"Bah!"

Seeing that the Great White Shark had sealed off his perceptions, Su Ran suddenly got brave. He moved to the Great White Shark’s rear and began kicking wildly, finally venting his built-up resentment and feeling much better.

"Let’s see what this skill can do first. If it’s trash, it really won’t be worth it..."

Su Ran opened the skill panel, looking forward with anticipation to the recently acquired skill, ’Surging Wave’.

"Surging Wave" (Water Based Skill) (Active) LV1

Condenses water elements to form a wave. This is a group attack skill, with the damage value being 85% of the maximum attack. The attack range is 4X4, Critical +1, Knockback +3.

Hey, not bad! A water-based group technique! And there’s even a knockback attribute! It’s much more powerful than the Netherworld Purple Fire skill!

"At least it didn’t disappoint me! Now that I have both fire and water skills, I can finally use the Ice and Fire fluid!"

Su Ran’s eyes lit up with excitement. With the aid of the Ice and Fire fluid, his group technique skill would undoubtedly become a lethal weapon!

With this thought in mind, Su Ran didn’t feel like sticking around any longer. He activated his ’Instant Movement’ skill and disappeared in a flash.

Not bad, not bad. With this skill, I can save on using the Random Teleportation Scroll. This will definitely save me a good amount of unnecessary expenditure!

Su Ran was very pleased with himself.

About an hour later, Su Ran, holding a high-grade candle, finally appeared within the Human Race’s Imperial City.

"Damn, my sense of direction is really horrible... "

Su Ran was completely convinced that he was the type of person natively inept at teleporting. Not once had he managed a satisfactory random teleportation. It was just his luck! Feeling wronged, Su Ran pledged in his heart that one day, he would build a teleportation array in his territory. Going wherever he wanted to go without having to put up with this nonsense!
