Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 636 - 599: The Mysterious Yin Si

"After all, I can’t even make potions. Such high-end alchemy materials would be a waste in my hands!"

With this thought, Su Ran forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart. He looked at the Great White Shark with hopeful eyes, "Elder, how many more Nightmare Flowers do you need to fully recover? I can try to get you a few more!"

"Nightmare Flowers..."

Upon hearing Su Ran’s words, the Great White Shark took a deep, meaningful look at him.

"You want to use medicinal treatment for a complete recovery? That’s impossible. The soul is damaged and has impacted the very essence. Medicinal treatment can control the symptoms but not cure the underlying cause. It can only suppress the soul from scattering further. As for the essence, it needs a long period of self-recovery!"

If it’s not a cure, then forget it. It’s better to keep it. Maybe it will come in handy later on!

Su Ran was instantly deflated, his fantasy shattered and he had no choice but to accept reality.

"But..."

The Great White Shark had thoroughly observed Su Ran’s mental changes. After building up the tension, he continued. Just these two words had already piqued Su Ran’s curiosity once again.

"The effect of the Nightmare Flower will have greatly diminished after the second use. If you can come up with ten Nightmare Flowers, they should be able to restore the soul to eighty percent!"

"Ten Nightmare Flowers?"

Su Ran couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. He subconsciously glanced at his bladder, which was safely hidden under the black robe of the Illusion Demon, and only then did he feel relieved.

"Elder, ten Nightmare Flowers is quite a lot. I may not be able to get them right away," Su Ran said in a bitter manner, and very reluctantly at that. There was some hesitation in his voice. "I have a friend who might have some Dream Flowers, but he is very stingy. If there’s nothing of equal value for exchange, then I’m afraid..."

"Something of equal value for exchange?"

The Great White Shark contemplated momentarily, his icy gaze fixed on Su Ran, "Leave this matter to you. When you have gathered enough Nightmare Flowers, come wake me up."

Sensing that the Great White Shark was about to leave, Su Ran quickly stepped forward and said urgently, "Elder, with such a high demand, all this pressure on me is too heavy. Don’t you have something to exchange to help me out? Like skills, items, potions, top-tier equipment..."

"Huh, little skeleton, you’re really something! Alright, the previous mission requires ten Nightmare Flowers to be fulfilled; if you can’t bring them, then I’ll have to take it back!"

Fury spread across the Great White Shark’s enormous skull, and its tone was quite displeased.

"Ding! Mission change: if the skeleton player cannot provide ten Nightmare Flowers, the mission [Find the Lost Weapon] will be deemed invalid, Great White Shark’s goodwill -3000."

The sudden system prompt caught Su Ran off guard.

What the hell, are you serious?

Su Ran didn’t expect that the Great White Shark could be so obstinate, not giving him any benefits whatsoever. What angered him even more was that it intended to take back the mission. Damn it, that’s not how it’s supposed to go!

For a while, Su Ran was put in a passive position. He regretted his recent actions and had to give up his previous plans.

"Oh? Elder, my memory is so poor! I just remember my friend has entrusted me with ten Nightmare Flowers. You can use these first to restore yourself, and I’ll make it up to my friend later. Heh heh, heh heh."

Being a skeleton, Su Ran, of course, had no shame. He was adept at fabricating lies.

"Oh? You’re really going out of your way, little skeleton. Much appreciated."

The words ’much appreciated’ were heavily emphasized by the Great White Shark, dripping with sarcasm. Its immense face expressed quite a vivid array of emotions. It seemed that in its long life, it had never encountered such a shameless undead.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."

Ten vibrant Nightmare Flowers were sucked into the Great White Shark’s mouth and it began to chew vigorously. The harsh grinding noise couldn’t be any clearer, making Su Ran unable to look at it directly. His heart was bleeding.

"Roar!"

The liquid from the flowers flowed into the depths of the Great White Shark’s cerebral cavity, providing nourishment to its ruptured soul. The overwhelming medicinal effect provoked a reaction in the Great White Shark, leading to a state of convulsions. Its rampaging state caused it to roar with pain. Waves of energy surged from within its body and blasted in all directions.

What was worse, Su Ran was the closest to the beast, and took the brunt of the impact. Before he could react, he was blown away by the shockwave, landing heavily on the ground. This blow nearly took half of his life!

"Cough, cough."

Embarrassed, Su Ran got up from the ground, ignoring the dust on his body. He pulled out a stalk of grass and began to chew on it.

It was only after his HP was fully restored that Su Ran nervously looked in the direction of the Great White Shark.

"Boom!"

An explosive sound erupted from its skeleton, and its bones made a cracking sound. Perhaps due to the change in momentum, Su Ran had the illusion that the creature had grown considerably larger.

"Old Shark, that’s enough. Aren’t you going to let people sleep?"

Suddenly, a morose voice resonated throughout the territory. The voice was so loud that even the tumultuous waves couldn’t drown it out. It echoed clearly throughout the space.

Upon hearing this voice, Su Ran immediately knew that it was Yin Si, the tricky merchant, who was speaking.

Su Ran sweat profusely. This cunning merchant was quite bold, showing no deference to anyone, even this deep-sea monster! However, it was also clear that Yin Si, the Demon of Communication, held a unique position.

"Yin Si, my old friend has arrived. Aren’t you going to come out and greet him?" The Great White Shark, despite its splitting headache, focused its cold gaze on the isolated house in the corner, speaking in a deep voice.

But at this moment,

Su Ran was astonished to see that the Great White Shark’s convulsions had largely subsided and even the turbulent energy waves had been pulled back into its body. It clamped down on its teeth, suppressing the excruciating pain. No longer producing that chaos of noise, the entire territory suddenly quieted down significantly.

Oh my God, could that nonchalant comment from the cunning merchant have such an effect?!

Su Ran watched the spectacle in utter shock, as various thoughts flooded his mind.

Just what role does this cunning merchant, Yin Si, play in the game of Divine Demon Struggle? The fact that even this deep-sea monster was affected to this extent was simply unimaginable!

This guy... is definitely not as simple as a mere merchant!

For a while, Yin Si’s identity in Su Ran’s mind became shrouded in mystery. A dark shadow loomed over his thoughts, making him extra cautious around Yin Si.

"The time is not ripe. When it’s time to meet, we’ll meet. One must not force such things! By the way, Old Shark, I quite fancy the little skeleton in front of you. You mustn’t bully him!" Yin Si’s voice was as clear as ever. Before it could die down, he continued, "It’s a shame my beautiful dream has been disturbed... "

Damn it!

You fancy me? I’m not that way inclined!

Su Ran thought angrily, glaring at the now-quiet house.
