Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 757 - 680: Opening the Treasure Chest

"Whoosh!"

An impressive blast of light flashed, and the box in Youtong’s hand instantly disappeared. A fiery red bead appeared before everyone’s eyes.

"Ah, unfortunate, just an embedded bead, not too excited about it... Huh? Haha, it’s a Level 3 one!"

Just as Youtong’s disappointed expression emerged, without having time to solicit sympathy from others, she saw the properties of the bead. She was so excited that she began to laugh uncontrollably, hopping and jumping around with no regard for her appearance.

"It’s a Level 3 Qi Blood bead, jackpot! Haha, a lucky omen indeed, never thought we could have such an auspicious start!"

A Level 3 Qi Blood bead?

Everyone initially gasped in astonishment, then roared with delight. Turns out this tiny Random Box could contain valuable treasures!

"Now it’s my turn!"

Stimulated by the bead, the Smokey Phantom’s blood started to circulate faster. After imitating Youtong and paying tribute to all the gods, he solemnly opened his Random Box.

"Haha, I got a Qi Blood bead too!"

Smokey Phantom held the fiery red bead in his hand and after checking its properties, he howled with joy, forgetting to close his mouth. His face was full of disbelief.

"Smokey Phantom, stop playing coy and tell us quickly!"

Seeing that the embedded bead Smokey Phantom was holding was the same type as hers, Youtong was instantly curious. But upon seeing his dumbfounded expression, she became anxious.

"This Qi Blood bead, it’s a level... level 4!"

With a ghost-struck look, Smokey Phantom held the gem in his hand unbelievingly, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke.

"What?!"

The players all exclaimed together, their faces filled with shock. However, Su Ran was thoroughly confused. It’s just a gem, was it necessary to be this surprised?

Since Su Ran had never synthesized an embedded bead before, naturally he wasn’t aware of the difficulty in upgrading one. A Level 2 bead required two of the same type at Level 1 to synthesize, and Level 3 required two of Level 2, and so forth. However, this wasn’t the main reason why higher level beads were so expensive, rather it was the success rate.

The success rate for high-level beads was damn vicious! The success rate to upgrade from Level 3 to Level 4 was only 10%. If the upgrade failed, the bead would be destroyed and disappear! This kind of risk was not something most people could bear...

This also resulted in the exponential increase in the price of high-level beads!

Most importantly, Level 4 beads were incredibly rare and virtually unavailable in the market!

"Smokey Phantom, you struck it rich!"

Youtong patted Smokey Phantom on the shoulder with surprise, genuinely happy for him without a hint of jealousy.

"Never thought you would have this kind of luck, lad. Not bad at all! You hit the jackpot and can go from a scooter to a car now~!"

Creamy Star’s thinking was simple. When a teammate gets stronger, the adventure team could take on more dangerous challenges and missions. This in turn increased the chance of receiving top-notch equipment!

"Today seems to be an auspicious day for opening treasure boxes. We really are lucky!"

Gu Yue looked at Smokey Phantom with happiness filling his heart, playfully remarked, "Smokey buddy, it’s your turn to treat us~!"

But Smokey Phantom seemed to not hear him at all. At this moment, he swallowed, forcefully suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and locked eyes with Youtong. Softly, he started,"Little Tong, I, Smokey Phantom, am a simple man. I don’t understand romance, let alone a woman’s heart. But still, you chose to be with me, and that moved me, made me anxious. I’m afraid this might just be a dream and that you’ll disappear when I wake up..."

"Little Tong, I will certainly cherish these feelings. Give me time to correct my shortcomings. I will become the man who loves you the most in this world!"

"And this Qi Blood bead is a symbol of my commitment to you. May it serve as a testimony to our love, to accompany us, to witness the blossoming of our love, to witness our journey together for a lifetime."

"Little Tong, accept it. And also, take my heart with it."

Smokey Phantom held the Qi Blood bead in his hand, solemnly presented it to Youtong, looking a bit nervous. This was the first time he was declaring his love, he had no idea if these words would have the desired effect. He prayed in his heart, hoping it all wouldn’t blow up in his face.

Youtong stared at Smokey Phantom, momentarily lost for words.

"Such a big man, speaking these words, doesn’t it make you feel cheesy?"

Youtong’s cheeks turned red. She couldn’t help but glance at Smokey Phantom, then she broke into a sweet smile, accepted the Qi Blood bead, and fell into Smokey Phantom’s arms. The two embraced tightly.

Every girl is an angel who has fallen to earth. They all weave a beautiful dream in which you and she exist together. Choose the right person, and naturally, the dream will be sweet.

"Alright, alright, learn to pick your moments for your displays of affection. Do you think it’s appropriate in front of us three bachelors? I think you two are just stirring up resentment!"

Creamy Star’s eyes harbored a hint of envy. He took a subtle glance at Su Ran, then casually returned his gaze, and said to Gu Yue, "Little Yue, they’re being so naughty. What do you think we should do to punish them?"

"Hmm, how about we punish them by... making them stay together forever~ Hehe!"

Gu Yue chuckled, covering her mouth. Her laughter was clear and melodious.

As for Su Ran, he was already lost in his thoughts. He was pondering about Cloud City. The completion degree was at 85%, so the remaining 15% should be related to the golden ant! Alternatively, if they could prevent the city lord from killing the third brother, the completion degree would likely increase, but the plot would change consequently.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around. Next up is me!"

Creamy Star clapped his hands, showing no signs of delay. He decisively opened his box.

"Wow, a Summoning Manual!"

Youtong separated from Smokey Phantom and ran over to Creamy Star, looking at the pure white book in his hand. Excited, she asked, "Creamy sis, what level Summoning Manual is this?"

"Level 2, just what I needed."

Creamy Star gave a slight smile, quite satisfied with the item. He immediately made use of the Summoning Manual.

"Congratulations, Creamy sis, you can summon a second pet now!"

Youtong was envious, she didn’t even have one pet, yet Creamy Star was about to summon her second one.

"It’s nothing compared to the value of your bead. But, it’s quite suited for me."

Creamy Star said with a smile, feeling quite good at the moment.

"My turn, everyone, wish me some luck~"

Gu Yue was a little nervous, gently rubbing the Random Box in her hand. It seemed to bring her good luck.

"Ah, Little Yue, just open it already. Either way, it’s just a roll of the dice. The sooner you open it, the sooner you’ll know!"

Youtong couldn’t stand the suspense. To her, this was pure torture.

"Huff."

Gu Yue took a deep breath, then expelled all the stale air from her lungs. Only then did she cautiously open the box.

"Whoosh!"

Another flash of light, the box disappeared, and an ancient-looking book appeared in her hand.

"A special skill book!"
