Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 806 - 728: Sea Region Envoy

Su Ran had thought that when he walked by, the two NPCs would be too embarrassed to make eye contact with him, and might even cover up their old faces.

But as it turned out, Su Ran was overthinking it.

"Young hero, please stop by! Come and check out this fresh Golden Scale Spearfish King, look at this texture, absolutely tough! And this cuttlefish, large and tasty, definitely chewy! We’re all acquainted here, this old man will give you a 30% discount!"

Upon seeing Su Ran, the village elder’s eyes lit up, waving his hands enthusiastically like a madam of a brothel, calling out with deep affection.

"Warrior, over here, my Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorse taste even better, tender with fewer bones, and wonderfully delicious! Given our relationship, would your conscience allow you to not buy my fish?"

The fisherman opposite the village elder, seeing him shamelessly snatching customers and business, immediately panicked and hastily beckoned Su Ran.

"..."

What happened to the awkwardness?

Su Ran was a mess in the wind.

It was his first time seeing such thick-skinned individuals, and two of them at that!

"You’re busy, I’m just passing by, passing by, heh heh."

Su Ran waved his hands symbolically at both sides and quickly left the spot with his head down. freewebnσvel.cøm

But what Su Ran didn’t notice was that shortly after he left, the fisherman and the village elder looked at each other and smiled, then continued to hawk their wares.

Arriving at the location marked by the token, it was on a beach not far from the fishing village.

Su Ran looked around, didn’t find any NPCs or monsters bothering him, and successfully activated the token.

"Swoosh!"

A flash of light streaked by, and an NPC descended from the sky, plunging headfirst into the sand.

"What’s going on here?"

Su Ran was dumbfounded; he hadn’t anticipated that the lofty Sea Envoy would make an entrance in such a manner, which was quite unexpected for him.

"Cough cough."

The Sea Envoy quickly scrambled up from the ground, and upon seeing Su Ran, coughed a bit unnaturally before putting on a stern face and said, "I was just about to inspect the sea, but just before entering the water, you lad called me over."

Su Ran was startled; it turned out that the token’s effect was to force the Sea Envoy to recall, even if he were in the middle of defecating, the summoning wouldn’t leave time to pull up his trousers...

The token’s summoning power was so strong!

Fortunately, the Sea Envoy wasn’t just taking a bath in the sea; he was still wearing all his equipment. It would have been embarrassing if he was only left in a pair of big underpants.

"Envoy sir, the younger generation did not know you were busy with work, it was somewhat presumptuous, please forgive me."

Su Ran quickly lowered his stance, fearing the NPC would blame him.

"The ignorant is not guilty; speak, why have you summoned me, what important matter do you have to report?"

Seeing the black-robed lad was quite cooperative, the Sea Envoy’s expression softened a bit, elegantly shaking the sand from his head before resting his gaze on Su Ran.

"Envoy sir, I have come at the behest of Great White Shark, seeking to retrieve the lost weapon."

After stating his mission, Su Ran felt a weight lift from his heart. Finally, the plot mission of Great White Shark was back on track—it really wasn’t easy!

"Great White Shark?"

The Sea Envoy’s expression visibly changed, and his entire figure was suddenly enveloped in a black mist, obscuring his appearance at that moment.

Su Ran waited for a while, but when the Envoy didn’t speak, he didn’t find it strange; he assumed the Envoy was lost in ancient memories.

"This old shark... hasn’t he already died?"

The black mist condensed and converged into the Sea Envoy’s hands, forming a ball of black fire, becoming a pair of black gloves that wrapped around his hands.

"Great White Shark is only left with a carcass; it was I who awakened it."

Su Ran felt more and more alarmed the more he spoke; before he came, he had not asked for details, and was unclear about the relationship between the Great White Shark and the Sea Domain Envoy. Judging from the guy’s indifferent tone, he estimated the situation was dire!

"Eh?"

The Sea Domain Envoy seemed a tad surprised and gave Su Ran an extra look. "Was it you who broke its Ice Seal?"

"It’s all up to your judgment, my lord. If you think the Unsealing is correct, then it was I who did it; if the Unsealing has angered you, then naturally it wasn’t me..."

Su Ran said carefully, now even more unsure if this envoy was really on his side.

If the Great White Shark and the Sea Domain Envoy were sworn enemies, then he would truly be doomed by the shark!

Now Su Ran finally realized that the Great White Shark’s allegiance was definitely a huge trap, and he had foolishly jumped right in...

"Truly cunning!"

The Sea Domain Envoy laughed coldly, his gaze icy cold as it swept over Su Ran, making him shiver involuntarily.

"So you’re saying your Mining Skills have reached level seven?"

To break the Great White Shark’s Ice Seal, one must attain level seven in Mining Skills, which was not strange for the Sea Domain Envoy to deduce.

"By luck, pure luck."

Su Ran felt cold sweat on his forehead and was more certain than ever that the Sea Domain Envoy and the Great White Shark were enemies. His current predicament was extremely dire! Su Ran thought to himself that he must not enrage this esteemed envoy; if he perished, it would be a spectacular disaster, likely not even fitting on this beach!

With that thought, Su Ran imperceptibly took a step back to increase the distance between himself and the Sea Domain Envoy, lowering his stance even more.

Incidentally, Su Ran affectionately "greeted" the Great White Shark’s eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, which made him feel somewhat better.

"No need to be nervous, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already. Why wait until now?"

The Sea Domain Envoy watched the cautious young man in the black robe, emotionlessly saying, "That old shark’s life is surprisingly tenacious, living until now, truly unexpected."

"Boy, if you want to retrieve the weapon lost by that shark, it’s not impossible. Go to the underwater reefs and dig up a hundred Sea Blue Crystals, then come back here to see me!"

"If it takes more than ten hours, hmph, I won’t wait for you!"

The Sea Domain Envoy flicked his sleeves and turned away, snorting coldly, clearly indicating, take your leave, I’m not seeing you out!

"Ding! Congratulations to the player Skull, for obtaining a time-limited task: dig up a hundred Sea Blue Crystals at the North Sea coordinates 2344:8433 within ten hours. Task completion reward: information on the whereabouts of the Great White Shark’s weapon; task failure punishment: cancellation of the Great White Shark’s entrusted task, and earn the Great White Shark’s absolute enmity!"

"Hiss..."

The system notification sound came punctually, the severity of the task’s failure punishment made Su Ran gasp in shock.

For fuck’s sake...

This task is way too harsh!

Su Ran remembered the fisherman mentioning that the North Sea was fraught with danger everywhere; even fishing was avoided, and yet he was expected to mine for ten hours?

Are you kidding me?!

This damned system, congratulations my ass. If this time-limited task doesn’t get completed, there’s not the slightest chance of survival without fighting with all one’s might!

Fierce, this is just too fierce!

"Envoy, I heard from Uncle Fisherman that within the North Sea, dangers abound. It will be difficult even to protect myself if I go there, much less stay for ten hours. This, I fear..." Su Ran looked toward the Sea Domain Envoy with great difficulty, his tone hesitant.

But in his view, since the game presented such a difficult task, there must be a strategy to complete it; only, he might not yet meet the conditions to trigger it.

"Not too dumb, you even know to seek help."

The Sea Domain Envoy sneered, "We bear no grudge against each other, no need to be too hard on you. If you can obtain a Tripartite Blood Fish or a Magic Seahorse, you can exchange it with me for a Calamity Avoiding Charm that lasts one hour, or an Underwater Breathing potion for an hour. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance; if you fail again, go back to where you came from!"

"Tripartite Blood Fish? Magic Seahorse?"

A myriad of grass and mud horses raced through Su Ran’s mind.
