Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 766 - 689: The Blacksmith’s Worries

"Whew, that was satisfying. Digging graves may be hard, but these past couple of weeks certainly weren’t in vain!"

Su Ran thought contentedly, especially of his own mining skills, which had taken a step further, progressing to a terrifying Level 8!

Hahaha, even if there was a volcano in front of me, I could dig straight through it!

Alright, let’s stop boasting and face reality.

"Bingbing, let’s go. Let’s take a look at Blacksmith Li’s place!"

Su Ran hoisted the little zombie onto his neck, hid it with the Illusion Demon cloak, making it hard to detect the pet behind his head. Once everything was ready, Su Ran began heading towards the weapon shop.

The Blood Crystal Bone Scythe was fated to be mine!

In the weapon shop, Blacksmith Li, surprisingly was not making weapons, but was sitting on a stool in an extremely dejected manner, not even noticing Su Ran’s entry. The room was full of chilly air, even the walls were ice cold.

"Something seems off. Judging from this situation, Blacksmith Li probably hasn’t done any blacksmithing for a long time."

As soon as Su Ran entered, he felt extremely uncomfortable with the below-zero temperature. It was usually as hot as a furnace, but this time it was so unusual that it surprised Su Ran.

"Blacksmith Li, what happened to you? Did you run into some trouble?"

Seeing this situation, Su Ran inexplicably felt pleased. This definitely looked like the prelude to a new mission!

"Oh, it’s Lord Su Ran. Please come in, please come in."

Blacksmith Li was initially startled, but upon seeing Su Ran, he hastily stood up, accidentally knocking over the stool.

"What’s going on...."

The more Su Ran observed, the more he felt that something was wrong. But looking at Blacksmith Li’s hesitant expression, it was definitely a tricky matter!

"They are just disgraceful affairs, My Lord, you don’t need to dig deeper. Do you have any matters on this visit?"

Blacksmith Li looked somewhat tired, deliberately shifting the topic.

"Um, I came here this time to change the spiritual nature of this Bone Scythe."

Su Ran didn’t pry any further. He knew that he probably couldn’t trigger this mission yet, but with him being the only player in Skeleton Village, the mission would eventually be his. So why hurry?

"Change the spiritual nature? Didn’t I tell you that you must first get those ten droplets of Demonic Corpse Oil?"

Blacksmith Li furrowed his brows, but when he saw Su Ran’s ambiguous smile, he suddenly understood something and asked incredulously, "My Lord, could it be that you’ve collected all of the Demonic Corpse Oil?"

"Indeed."

Seeing Blacksmith Li’s shocked expression made Su Ran feel that all his hard work over this period had been worth it. He took out the hard-earned ten droplets of Demonic Corpse Oil from his bladder and handed it to Blacksmith Li.

"Hiss..."

Blacksmith Li looked at the Demonic Corpse Oil in his hand, then at Su Ran with astonishment, "My Lord, how did you get hold of such a rare item so quickly?!"

What?! Was half a month still considered quick? Did he want me to dig for a whole year?

Su Ran was too tired to retort.

"My Lord, please hand over the Blood Crystal Bone Scythe, and I will help you transform the essence of its spirit."

Seeing that Su Ran didn’t reply, Blacksmith Li continued, reaching out his calloused hand for the Bone Scythe.

"Blacksmith Li, thank you."

Su Ran handed the Blood Crystal Bone Scythe to Blacksmith Li and sat down on the stool, wanting to watch Blacksmith Li display his exquisite refining skills.

But to Su Ran’s surprise, Blacksmith Li didn’t start working, but was fondling the Bone Scythe, the hesitation in his eyes was clear.

"Blacksmith Li, if there’s anything difficult just say it, maybe I can help."

How could Su Ran not understand? He asked right away, then looked expectantly at Blacksmith Li, wanting to know what mission would make him so hesitant to speak up.

"Ahem, my lord, not trying to be funny but, the crafting of Blood Crystal Bone Scythe requires ore as a medium. However, I have used up all the ores in my shop for practice..."

Blacksmith Li hesitated a bit before continuing, "Our territory has no outsiders, so the likelihood of buying equipment is zero. This led to unsalable weapons piling up and I can’t afford the daily expenses of the shop."

Indeed it’s hard for a hero to overcome financial difficulties!

Without ore, Blacksmith Li, the hero, has lost his ground. Naturally, he would be embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Blacksmith Li, you said the weapons you made have piled up like a mountain?"

Su Ran’s eyes lit up; he thought of a possibility and asked urgently, "What level are these weapons? What grade are they?"

"My Lord, you mean... come with me quickly, they’re all piled up inside."

Blacksmith Li had lived so many years, how could he not understand Su Ran’s hints. He immediately showed an ecstatic expression and led Su Ran to the inner room.

What Su Ran saw were neatly arranged weapons in three stacks. There were all kinds of swords and clubs but only half a meter high. It seemed childish for Su Ran, who had seen the storm.

"Indeed, I had high expectations. The inventory of my territory’s weapon shop couldn’t compare to the Imperial City’s equipment repository, alas."

While Su Ran sighed internally, he didn’t change his expression and looked at Blacksmith Li, awaiting his introduction of these weapons.

"My Lord, these three sets of weapons are the culmination of several days of hard work. There are sixty 10 level Bronze weapons on the left, thirty 20-40 level Bronze weapons in the middle, and lastly, ten 30-40 level Silver weapons."

Feeling that the quality of these weapons was far inferior to the Blood Crystal Bone Scythe, he quickly added, "Just because the ores in the shop are too poor, I can only craft such weapons. I hope you won’t mind."

"How much in gold coins for the whole bundle?"

Even a mosquito’s meat is meat, I can trade all of these with the steward for wealth.~

"My Lord, my shop operates with Underworld Coins, we don’t accept gold coins."

"Look at my memory, I’ve forgotten about it."

Su Ran slapped his forehead, nearly knocking the little zombie off his back, "Blacksmith Li, tell me, how many Underworld Coins would it take to take all these equipment away?"

"30-40 level Silver weapons average at 50 Underworld Coins each, 20-40 level Bronze weapons average at 10 Underworld Coins each, and for the rest it’s 1 Underworld Coin each, totaling 860 Underworld Coins. I can give you a 15% discount, so it’ll be 731 Underworld Coins."

Underworld Coins?

Lost for words. I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, I don’t have that many Underworld Coins...

"Uh, Blacksmith Li, can I use ore to exchange?"

Su Ran had a fantastic idea and came up with a solution.

"Ores? That would do. 20 gold ores or 200 silver ores. As for bronze ores, forget it. The quality is too poor, even if I received it, it won’t be of much use."

"Blacksmith Li, please wait a bit. I’ll give you an answer later."

Su Ran left the Blood Crystal Bone Scythe with Blacksmith Li and walked out of the weapon shop.
