Chapter 808: Chapter 730: A Hundred Sea Blue Crystals, Acquired!
"Messenger Lord, sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Su Ran rushed back, leaping off Wang Cai and approaching the Sea Area Messenger without any idle chatter, he began pulling out the fish.
"Messenger Lord, please take a look, here are four Tripartite Blood Fish and two Magic Seahorses, all to exchange for Calamity Avoiding Charms!"
Su Ran said hastily. It had almost been half an hour since he returned to the village to buy the fish, and with such precious time, he couldn’t afford to waste any more!
"Hey, you’re quite lucky to have gotten so many fish in such a short time,"
The Sea Area Messenger was somewhat surprised but didn’t delve into the origins of the fish. He took out six Calamity Avoiding Charms and handed them to Su Ran, saying coldly, "You have just over nine more hours; your task has only just begun. Without the Underwater Breathing potion, I’d like to see how you survive underwater!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Messenger Lord. I will do my best to complete the task you’ve assigned!"
After Su Ran vowed to complete the mission, he made haste toward the task’s coordinates. Once he arrived at the North Sea, he stowed away Wang Cai and immediately used the Calamity Avoiding Charms.
"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for gaining an hour of safety time. During this period, you will not be attacked by monsters of Dark Gold Rank or lower. The protection will cease if player Skeleton initiates an attack."
After hearing the system notification, Su Ran felt as if he had taken a heart-calming pill. Now with six hours of safety time, he must cherish it!
"Plop!"
Wielding the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe, Su Ran plunged into the North Sea and swam rapidly toward the marked coordinates. Luckily, the system didn’t make it too hard for him. After swimming for about ten minutes, Su Ran arrived at a large area of deep-sea reefs.
"A hundred Sea Blue Crystals, I will surely dig them all out!"
The unyielding fire in Su Ran’s eyes burned fiercely. He paid no mind to the deep-sea creatures swimming around him. He took out a novice hoe and embarked on his arduous journey.
For this mining task, Su Ran was fairly confident he could complete it. After all, his mining skill had been enhanced to level 8, and coupled with his high Luck Value, the chances of completing it within ten hours weren’t too low!
Yet, what concerned him was that he only had six hours of safety time, meaning he had to compress the mining time to within those six hours – he absolutely couldn’t log off during this period!
"Phew, it’s just a hundred Sea Blue Crystals, who’s afraid?!"
Su Ran toughened up, igniting the cosmos within his heart. He roared underwater and faced the vast sea bed’s reefs, he began mining directly!
Because he swung the hoe with such great force, the surrounding fish were startled and swiftly fled away from him, leaving only him, a skeleton, alone mining the sea bed’s rocks.
It must be said, this time-limited task was indeed the kind that could kill without indemnity. Underneath the deep sea, due to the terrifying water pressure, even swinging a hoe was a tough job, let alone continuous mining. This was one of the reasons the Sea Area Messenger was skeptical about Su Ran’s chances.
But Su Ran had no need to worry about this aspect, with the super weapon Ice Bead in his possession, none of that was an issue. All the terrifying water pressure and the resistance of the sea were rendered ineffective!
The Ice Bead, one of the ten ancient pearls, possessed absolutely abnormal, super-strong abilities in marine environments!
"Clang! Clang!"
"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for obtaining the task item, Sea Blue Crystal!"
The delightful sound of the system prompt thrilled Su Ran, who said excitedly to himself, "Hey, that’s a good sign. Just two swings of the hoe and I got a Sea Blue Crystal, what a good omen!"
"Clang!"
"Ding! Congratulations to player Skull for obtaining the task item, Sea Blue Crystal!"
"Haha, when luck comes knocking, you can’t even block it. With this efficiency, there’s no need to worry about not completing the task! You cursed Sea Messenger, your time to gape in shock has come!"
The consecutive system prompts filled Su Ran with the hope of task completion, swinging his hoe even faster.
However, an hour and a half later, Su Ran had already gathered them all.
"No way, the task is completed in such a short time?"
Su Ran didn’t even dare to imagine that the mining task would go this smoothly; he was stunned by his own mining efficiency. A hundred Sea Blue Crystals, just like that, easily gathered?
Good heavens, to complete such a difficult time-limited task in less than an hour, that’s too unbelievable!
Su Ran had braced himself for a 20-hour non-stop session, but the surprise came so suddenly that he couldn’t believe it himself!
In fact, the reason Su Ran was able to complete the mining task so quickly was entirely because of the system settings for task difficulty.
In such a harsh deep-sea environment, the system naturally wouldn’t make it too difficult—otherwise, how would players play?
The system just hadn’t taken into account a freak like Su Ran, who wasn’t affected at all by the deep-sea environment, with a level eight mining skill, plus fourteen points of Luck Value. It would’ve been hard to mine slowly even if he wanted to!
"Let’s go, time to head back!"
With 5 Calamity Avoiding Charms left, Su Ran was incredibly excited. This was definitely an unexpected joy. After all, Calamity Avoiding Charms aren’t just for tasks; they can be used in any plot instance! With such magical items on hand, his chances of survival and clearing plot instances would greatly increase!
What a treasure! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
With a joyous laugh, Su Ran took advantage of the effects of the Calamity Avoiding Charm to hurry out of the water, stepping up into mid-air. Only then did his taut nerves finally relax, feeling a burden lifted from his heart.
"I can’t just go back and submit the task so soon. If that despicable Messenger tries to sabotage me in secret, that would be asking for trouble!"
The more Su Ran thought about it, the less feasible it seemed. He made up his mind not to bother with the task—until the eighth or ninth hour, he definitely wouldn’t find that Sea Messenger!
"As for now, it’s time to get some payback on that fisherman!"
With a cold snort, Su Ran journeyed over the North Sea from above until he saw that small boat by the shore. Only then did he slow down and land on the beach.
"Hmph, Uncle Fisherman, you may outrun the monk, but you can’t outrun the temple. I’m someone who holds grudges!"
Looking at the fishing nets laid out to dry and that old wooden boat, Su Ran chuckled and stuffed the fishing net into his bladder. Although the fishing net wasn’t worth much, it was enough to annoy the fisherman!
As for the boat itself, Su Ran had no intention of taking it; after all, it was the fisherman’s livelihood. Going too far might bring divine retribution, or perhaps cause future offspring to be born... without an anus.
Su Ran sneaked onto the boat and broke both oars, throwing them into the sea to vent his anger and feel incredibly satisfied.
"Hmm, there’s still plenty of time left, let the noble Sea Messenger wait a little longer~!"
With a grin, Su Ran left the scene of the crime, mounted Wang Cai, and raced towards the fishing platform.
