Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 805 - 727: Enchantment

Need a hundred strands of Demon Jade Coral? What kind of international joke is this!

The moment he heard the conditions required to trigger the quest, Su Ran’s face instantly changed.

He estimated that it would take at least a year and a half to gather these quest items—no way he had time to waste on fishing!

"Er, never mind, I’d rather not listen."

Su Ran quickly refused, "Old sir, please just help me enchant my weapon..."

"Hehe..."

The old village chief gave a cold laugh and didn’t linger on the topic, "Very well, hand over the weapon needing enchantment to this old man."

"Old sir, you’re too kind."

Su Ran drew out the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe and hurriedly passed it over, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"What a weapon!"

The old village chief held the Bone Scythe in his hand, feeling the evil spirit and chill emanating from the scythe, his face lit up with joy and he couldn’t help but swing it.

"Hey, hey?"

Having swung too vigorously, the old village chief nearly toppled over but thankfully supported himself with his cane, narrowly avoiding an embarrassing fall.

"Old sir, please be careful!"

Su Ran was startled, worried that if anything happened to this elderly NPC, it would all be on his head!

"It’s alright, this old man still has some control."

After speaking, the old village chief put down the Bone Scythe with effort and wiped the cold sweat that had broken out on his forehead with his sleeve.

"Young hero, this Bone Scythe is truly a marvelous treasure!"

The old village chief’s murky eyes flashed with heat, his withered hand covering the scythe, clearly showing his great fondness for the weapon.

"Young hero, may I borrow it for a few days to study it?"

"No way, not happening."

Su Ran flatly refused, leaving no room for negotiation. He was joking— if the Bone Scythe fell into the hands of an NPC, it would be as good as a system reclaim!

"Impetuous youth, you’ll suffer for it sooner or later!"

The old village chief said coldly, pulling out a bottle of light green liquid and pouring it directly onto the Bone Scythe.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton, the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe enchantment was successful!"

As the system’s notification sounded, Su Ran immediately grabbed the Bone Scythe to check it.

"No way..."

Su Ran let out a wail of misery, muttering annoyedly, "An additional 6 points of strength? I’m a mage, damn it..."

Only then did he realize that the attributes granted by the enchantment were random; a piece of Demon Jade Coral had been wasted in vain!

How infuriating; is catching a coral easy or what?!

"Old sir, continue please."

Su Ran sighed and handed over the last piece of Demon Jade Coral to the old village chief, signaling him to continue enchanting the Bone Scythe.

"I didn’t see it before, but the young hero has indeed acquired quite a few treasures."

The old village chief looked at Su Ran with mild surprise, took the coral, and once again took out a bottle of light green liquid. He applied it to the Bone Scythe, turning it green. After the liquid had completely soaked into the scythe, the system notification sounded again.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton, the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe enchantment was successful!"

This was the last enchantment, let’s see if it’s a mule or a horse, time to take it out for a walk!

Su Ran took control of the Bone Scythe once more and took a careful look. His heart slightly eased.

"Defense +6, not bad at all, it’s like being given a free level of attribute!"

"Young hero, let me remind you," the elder said, "even though this enchantment attribute can bring you a boost in strength, you must remember one thing, when you die, the enchantment status will disappear."

The village elder, having acquired two pieces of Demon Jade Coral, was happy in his heart and took the opportunity to remind Su Ran.

"Thank you for your advice, elder."

Although it was already mentioned in the weapon’s description, Su Ran still expressed his gratitude. After all, it was well-intentioned, and giving thanks was the right thing to do.

"By the way, I also have a Deep Sea Squid here, let’s exchange that as well."

Only then did Su Ran remember that he had caught a Deep Sea Squid earlier using premium bait, which he could exchange for points with the village elder. However, the squid was quite precious and could be exchanged for 200 points directly.

If only he had obtained this Deep Sea Squid earlier, he wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble to get the deep-sea pearls. Fate really does love to play tricks on people!

"Deep Sea Squid? You managed to get such a rare species, you’re quite lucky," the elder marveled as he accepted the squid. He reached into his bosom and handed over another quest token, "Take it."

"Uh..."

Su Ran looked at the token, unsure of whether to accept it or not.

Are you kidding me?

What’s a guy like me supposed to do with so many quest tokens? I might as well exchange them for something useful with the points!

"Elder, about this..."

"I have other matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave now. Young hero, please do as you wish."

Before Su Ran could finish speaking, the quest token was forced into his hands, and the village elder, leaning on his cane, didn’t choose to return to his house but instead walked towards the village entrance with a deliberate, halting gait.

"Oh well."

Su Ran, somewhat bemused, held onto the extra token and thought to himself that there was no point in wasting it. Maybe he should make the sea area messenger take an extra trip...

Wait a minute.

"Something isn’t right!"

Seeing the direction in which the village elder was walking and the serious look on his face, Su Ran was suddenly alarmed. Could it be that the elder intended to punish the fisherman?

A strong sense of guilt welled up in Su Ran’s heart, blaming himself for speaking carelessly and causing the fisherman embarrassment...

Actually, it wasn’t Su Ran’s fault. After all, he didn’t know that such a small village had so-called village rules, and they were pretty strict at that.

Feeling guilty, Su Ran slowly followed behind. In his view, it was better to speak openly on some matters, especially considering he had not yet met the sea area messenger. It would not do to trigger a chain reaction over such a trivial issue and seriously regret it.

After following for a while, Su Ran was surprised to find that instead of seeking out the fisherman, the village elder sat down across from him with some difficulty, laid out a red tablecloth smoothly on the ground, and took out the King Goldscale Spearfish and Deep Sea Squid he had just received, placing them on top.

"Fresh fish for sale~ Fresh King Goldscale Spearfish, plump Deep Sea Squid~ Take a look as you pass by, don’t miss out on a good deal, don’t be fooled elsewhere, hurry while stock lasts!"

The elder’s powerful voice was exceptionally loud, even drowning out the fisherman’s hawking, silencing even the sound of coughing. Where now was there any sign of his previous sickly appearance?

Witnessing this scene, Su Ran was left speechless and overwhelmed with a sense of the ridiculous, feeling an urge to blurt out an angry "WTF" to get it out of his system.

You’ve got to be kidding me!

That’s just shameless!

He finally understood that the village elder and the fisherman were cut from the same cloth!

Good thing he didn’t lend his Ice Crystal Bone Scythe to the old man. If it had been sold in a second-hand deal, wouldn’t that have been cause for bitter regret?

Forget it, don’t lower yourself to their level, it’s bad for the lifespan!

Swallowing his anger, Su Ran took out the two quest tokens he had just received, and realized the locations marked on them were on the beach outside the village. This meant it was time for him to leave this place.

Su Ran was about to bypass these two NPCs when he thought, since he was never coming back to this village again, letting the village elder and the fisherman embarrass themselves wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

With that thought, Su Ran squared his shoulders and walked past the two stalls with an air of confidence.
