Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 802 - 724: Deep Sea Treasure

"Uncle, my Frost Fishing Rod still has over twenty points of durability left, so it can be used for a while longer. I don’t need a new one for now."

Su Ran hurriedly declined politely. After he completed the task assigned by the Great White Shark, he was pretty much done with fishing rods. What would he need that for, to just get in the way?

"Ah, don’t laugh at me, brave warrior, but I’ve been a bit strapped for cash lately and don’t have anything of value on me. This fishing rod is the only thing I can offer!"

The fisherman sighed deeply, his weathered appearance softening Su Ran’s heart.

"It’s fine, Uncle, it’s just a few fish. They’re yours!"

Su Ran said generously, handing over the Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorse to the fisherman.

"Warrior, this..."

The fisherman was overwhelmed with gratitude. After getting the deep-sea fish, he excitedly said to Su Ran, "Warrior, I need to go back to the village for a bit to preserve these fish while they’re still fresh."

Without waiting for a response from Su Ran, he ran off in a hurry.

"This guy, it’s just a few fish, and he gets this excited. Has he been a fisherman for so many years and still not seen much of the world?"

Su Ran cracked a smile and didn’t take it to heart, turning his attention to the ten beautiful deep-sea pearls in his hands.

[Deep Sea Pearl]

Produced by sea clams, they have beauty and health benefits and can be exchanged at the fishing island village for points equal to their quality.

"Points equal to their quality?"

Su Ran added up the quality of all ten deep-sea pearls and was left speechless.

Damn, 190 points...

Just short of that little bit, and Su Ran’s mood plummeted from the clouds to the ground.

Still, it was a good thing he hadn’t used the premium bait yet. Five minutes of fishing time should be enough!

"Continue!"

Fishing can yield premium items and can be both meditative and relaxing. Why not?

With renewed spirit, Su Ran went back to his spot and resumed his fishing career.

"Whoosh!"

As the fishing hook sank into the water, Su Ran’s mind also calmed down. Like the venerable Jiang Taigong, he waited patiently for the fish to bite.

Not even thirty seconds passed before the float moved.

"Clam, clam!"

Su Ran chanted in his mind several times, then with a swift upward jerk, the fishing line tensed and a treasure chest entangled in seaweed came into view.

Holy moly!

It was deep-sea treasure!

"Haha, the premium bait lives up to its name, yielding deep-sea treasure on the first try!"

Su Ran’s eyes gleamed with joy as he carefully manipulated the Frost Fishing Rod, hooking the treasure onto the platform, afraid that a little slip would cause it to fall back in, which would truly be frustrating!

Once the treasure chest was secured, Su Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn’t rush to open it since the premium bait was time-limited. With four minutes left, he had to make the most of it!

Feeling the urgency, Su Ran cast the rod forcefully. The hook hit the water, and he stared intently at the now stationary float, daring not to move a muscle.

As time gradually wore on, a trace of anxiety crept into Su Ran’s heart, and the Bone Soul Ghost Fire in his eyes flickered in response.

Suddenly, the float dipped and then resurfaced, sending ripples outward. Su Ran knew without a doubt — a fish was biting! He suppressed his excitement, stood up, and lifted the rod in one smooth motion.

"Swoosh!"

The fishing line tightened instantly and, with Su Ran’s forceful pull, the much-anticipated clam finally appeared within his sight.

"Haha, fortune really does favor me, now the points should be complete!"

With the fresh clam in hand, Su Ran’s impatient heart finally settled. He sat firmly on the fishing platform, continuing to fish for those final few minutes.

Minutes flew by swiftly, and after hooking a Deep Sea Squid, the premium bait disappeared from the hook.

"Phew, it’s finally over!"

Su Ran rubbed his somewhat sore neck and stood up.

As nice as fishing is, one can’t do it for too long, and Su Ran had just had that realization.

"Let’s check out this clam first and see what the quality of the deep-sea pearl inside is!" freewebnoveℓ.com

Muttering to himself, Su Ran forcefully pried open the giant clam and retrieved the deep-sea pearl hidden inside.

[Deep Sea Pearl] Quality 10

Born from the nurturing of the clam, has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the body, can be exchanged for 10 points with the village chief at Fisher’s Island.

"Haha, 200 points, just enough!"

Su Ran excitedly waved his arms and almost kicked the Frost Fishing Rod into the sea. He hastily gathered the rod, despite its low durability, as it might still come in handy for future tasks—it shouldn’t be wasted.

"It wasn’t easy, but now I can finally exchange for the messenger’s token!"

Su Ran couldn’t stop grinning, especially thinking of the deep-sea treasures he had fished up, which made him so happy his eyes started to crinkle.

[Mysterious Treasure Chest] (Special)

Hidden inside are deep-sea treasures. As for their value, it all depends on luck.

Su Ran patiently cleared away all the seaweed wrapped around the treasure chest to reveal its true appearance.

Holding the mysterious treasure chest in his hands and examining it from all angles, he finally breathed a sigh of relief—it wasn’t locked...

"Hey, I’m getting a bit excited just thinking about seeing the treasures!"

Su Ran steadied himself before finally placing his hand on the mechanism of the chest.

"Click."

The lid of the chest popped open, revealing the treasures hidden inside for many years.

Glancing inside, Su Ran found an odd stone, a card covered in dark patterns, five differently colored gems, and an unremarkable pet egg.

"A pet egg?!"

Su Ran instantly became excited and carefully cradled the pet egg in his hands, feeling the cool touch of the shell. He was surprised to find that the life force within was incredibly strong; it wasn’t hard to imagine that this pet egg was no ordinary item!

"What good luck!"

With a laugh, Su Ran took out the appraisal charm he had just received and immediately used it on the pet egg.

"Whoosh!"

A deep blue glow covered the pet egg, and the unassuming shell was dyed a deep oceanic blue by the light, with a halo that circulated, looking very beautiful.

[Sealed Pet Egg] (Platinum)

Inside is a baby Ice-gold Jiao Dragon.

Note: Only by breaking the seal can the pet egg be hatched normally.

"Holy moly, am I seeing this right? It’s a platinum-level pet!"

The moment he saw "Platinum", Su Ran felt his excitement surge to levels beyond expression; he felt an urge to let out a wild howl!

Huh?

Wait a minute.

What’s the deal with this seal?

Upon seeing that the pet egg could only hatch after breaking the seal, Su Ran’s excitement instantly deflated, leaving his face filled with frustration.

"Got happy for nothing! I’ll ask that swindler later how to break the seal."

Dispirited, Su Ran placed the pet egg into the Storage Box and took out the odd stone from the treasure chest.

"This is..."
