Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 627 - 591: The Wonderful Use of Ice Bead

Not much time had passed when Su Ran returned to his senses from his peak, his mood instantly elated by the aftershocks of his high.

[Bone Soul Ghost Fire] (Yellow Level)

Special Ability: Break Invisibility - Makes the target’s low-level invisibility skill ineffective when they get close to the holder.

Experience needed for next level 2200/10000

Note: The soul has formed, reborn in the body.

"Aha, the experience points already make up a fifth of the total, I really look forward to seeing what surprise the upgraded Bone Soul Ghost Fire will bring me!"

Su Ran said excitedly to himself, thinking that as long as the Bone Soul Ghost Fire evolved successfully, he would surely gain another special ability!

However,

Just at that moment, a call came from not far away, drawing Su Ran’s attention.

"Lord Brother, Lord Brother~!"

Little Rock ran from a distance, carrying a band of moderate size black box in his hand, which Su Ran recognized as the undroppable Storage Box!

What’s this? The little fellow has returned again. Is he here to thank me for saving his life?

"Little Rock, slow down, slow down, if you fall you won’t care, just be careful not to drop the box!"

Su Ran’s eyes remained fixed on the black box, full of anticipation. He could never have too many treasures like the Storage Box.

In a short while, Little Rock ran up to Su Ran and handed over the Storage Box, sincerely saying, "Lord Brother, I left in a hurry just now and didn’t get a chance to wish you and Sister Drought Fiend a happy union and early birth of a noble child!"

...

...

Happy union my ass!!!

Su Ran was tempted to slap Little Rock to death.

Sure enough, like grandfather, like grandson. The genetics were too strong...

Forget it. For the sake of the Storage Box, he couldn’t bicker with this little skeleton.

Su Ran suppressed his rising anger and accepted the Storage Box with a disgruntled grin, saying to Little Rock, "Little chap, you’re very thoughtful."

"Lord Brother, when will we drink to your happiness?"

Little Rock asked innocently, but the crafty look in his eyes gave Su Ran a clue.

"Good job, Little Rock, dare to mock your Lord Brother, you are asking for a beating!"

"Aha, Lord Brother, please spare me~"

Around their territory, the noise of the two skeletons play-fighting diffused some of the somber atmosphere. The whole fiasco ended with Butler Liu dragging Little Rock back to their territory.

"Great White Shark, brother is in a bad mood, you can freeze for a while longer, no rush! There’s too much going on these days~"

Su Ran patted the ice block of the Great White Shark, refraining from stomping on it this time, quickly heading towards the Old Beggar’s dwelling.

"Knock knock knock!"

The door opened.

"Turns out its Lord, please come in, come in quickly!"

The Old Beggar greeted Su Ran warmly, a stark contrast to Yin Si’s demeanor.

"Old gentleman, I came here to ask for clarification about something."

As soon as they entered the house, Su Ran didn’t bother with formalities and got straight to the point, "You once said that to solve the problem of population draining wealth, you need the Ice Bead, right?"

"Huh? Did I say that? I don’t remember." freewebnøvel.com

The Old Beggar appeared to be baffled, not pretending.

Su Ran sneered, pulling out two Underworld Coins and waving them in front of the Old Beggar, "Old gentleman, it’s been a while, think again."

Grinning outwardly, cursing inwardly.

Damn it, just like a greedy merchant, a man who has his eyes on money!

"Oh~~~ So Lord was talking about the Ice Bead! I remember, I remember!"

Snatching the two Underworld Coins, the Old Beggar was overjoyed, revealing his big yellow teeth.

"Lord, why bring up this old matter? Could it be you’ve already obtained one of the ten ancient treasure beads, the Ice Bead?"

Su Ran was stumped by this stupid question. Isn’t it obvious? Did I come here to ask about the Ice Bead for fun?

"Indeed, Lord is capable of anything, even obtaining the Demonic Treasure Mountain, so it’s not surprising you got an Ice Bead."

The Old Beggar rambled on, then finally redirected the conversation, "Lord, if you embed the Ice Bead in the Magic Camp, it will give the skeleton troops Ice attributes to enhance their attack power, and most importantly the Magic Camp will get a special ability, Storage! By sealing all your troops in ice, you won’t have to worry about wealth consumption!"

So that’s how it is!

Su Ran finally understood. But, his Heavenly Thunder Bead was already embedded in his Guardian Thunder Tower, and now, if he kept the Ice Bead in his territory, his attack capability would take a significant hit!

What a dilemma...

"Old gentleman, can the sealed Ice Bead still function in the Magic Camp?"

Since he’d already spent money, Su Ran wouldn’t give up until he had all the answers.

"Sealed? That’s hard to say."

The Old Beggar shook his head, an unpleasant smell wafting from his messy hair. Thank goodness Su Ran didn’t need to breathe.

"Lord, once the Ice Bead is sealed, it loses a significant amount of power and might not meet the Ice Magic requirement of the Magic Camp, using it may damage the Ice Bead’s source, leading to a loss greater than the gain. I recommend you unseal the Ice Bead first, then consider this matter."

"Old gentleman, how do I unseal the Ice Bead?"

"I do not know."

The Old Beggar glanced at Su Ran before continuing, "However, you can go to the Free Nation and inquire in the Elf Forest. That place is filled with magical elements, you might find an answer there."

Elf Forest!

Two consecutive missions had steered Su Ran towards the Elf Forest, which made him realize he needed to explore this mysterious land. He wondered if the Fire Spirit he’d saved from the well had made it back to the Elf Forest, he genuinely hoped so. It would be so much easier to get things done with a familiar face there!

Su Ran selectively forgot that he nearly made the Fire Spirit explode in anger...

"Old gentleman, where is the Elf Forest?"

"If I knew, I wouldn’t have stayed in the sewers of the Imperial City all this time."

Remembering the past, the Old Beggar looked somewhat gloomy.

Seeing the mood had cooled, Su Ran didn’t push any further. He comforted the Old Beggar and excused himself.

Walking the streets, looking at his little hill of conquest, Su Ran mused sentimentally - he’d managed to establish his own kingdom. Compared to other players still struggling for their survival, he was far ahead!

"Great White Shark, your brother is here to see you, all cleaned up yet?"

Su Ran hummed a tune while crunching toward the huge ice block, looking up at the corpse of the Great White Shark, he paused a moment before pulling out his newbie hoe to start digging.

Since this was his second time digging, Su Ran made quick work of it, effortlessly clearing the ice block leaving the corpse of the Great White shark exposed.
