Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 810 - 732 The Way to Wealth

"Hmm, I was originally ranked first, but just a few days ago, Hangover Elder from the Heavenly List suddenly surged to level 50, defeated the guardian of the Imperial List, and ascended the throne of the Imperial List, thereby surpassing me in popularity and becoming the rightful number one!"

Banana had his fingers on the pulse of forum public opinion, probably because he was going stir-crazy on Fishing Island recently, hanging on for dear life by browsing forums.

"However, most of the players are rooting for you, they’ve been arguing for a long time about who is stronger between you and Hangover Elder!"

"Is that so?"

Su Ran couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Don’t mind them, those are empty honors. What’s the point of bickering over them? Walk your own path and let them talk~!"

"Boss is boss, such high awareness, truly beyond ordinary folks!"

Banana nodded as if enlightened, his face full of admiration.

"Cut the crap, one more bout of flattery and I’ll delete you as a friend, no more yakking! And stop calling me boss, it sounds weird. Got it?"

Su Ran found Banana’s familiarity a bit uncomfortable.

"Alright, judging by your mature voice, I’m sure you’re older than me. From now on I’ll call you Brother Overturning Water, that sounds more endearing, hehe..."

"Suit yourself."

Since Su Ran couldn’t pry any information about the location of Elf Forest from Banana, he lost interest in the conversation. Just as he was about to turn back to fishing, he saw the villager NPC running over in a panic, shouting loudly, "Hero, just a moment, I’ve brought the fish back~!"

"Got the fish?"

Su Ran’s face lit up with joy, stepping past Banana to meet the running villager NPC.

Banana looked at Su Ran’s eager demeanor with surprise but did not comment further.

"Huff... Huff... I am so sorry, due to insufficient funds of this humble one, I could only acquire 15 Tripartite Blood Fish and 5 Magic Seahorses. Please have a look."

The villager was panting heavily as he handed over the catch to Su Ran.

"You’ve worked hard, here are three gold coins, please keep them."

After a cursory glance, Su Ran took all of it and continued, "I’ll keep buying these two types of fish, I will need to trouble you to..."

Before Su Ran could finish his sentence, Banana interrupted him.

"Ah, you sly little rogue!"

Banana angrily pointed at the villager NPC, "Just now when you were buying fish, you only paid ten silver per fish. In the blink of an eye, you’re selling to Brother Overturning Water for fifteen silver apiece? You’re pretty slick with business, aren’t you?!"

"You!"

The villager, having his secret revealed by Banana, turned red-faced and shook with rage, yet he was unable to retort.

"Banana, don’t be hard on him, I arranged this."

Su Ran took the blame, whispering to Banana, "I need a lot of Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorses. If I, an outsider adventurer, were to purchase them myself, I might attract unwanted trouble. It’s better to have a local do it for me. The price I offered is what I’m giving him; after all, you can’t expect someone to work for nothing, right?"

"But you’re giving him too much profit!"

Banana still felt indignant, "Brother Overturning Water, you don’t have to buy any more, I’ve got plenty here. These fish are used for healing health and mana, not some valuable commodity, I’ll give them all to you! But you have to give me some healing potions and Mana Potions. Buying potions in this village requires a lot of points, which I can’t afford..."

"I have my own plans."

Su Ran smiled and waved his hand, then gently said to the villager NPC, "Brother, please continue the purchases, the price remains the same."

"Thank you, hero, thank you so much!"

Tasting the sweetness of the deal, the villager was naturally overflowing with gratitude towards Su Ran and glared resentfully at Banana before jogging off.

"Brother Overturning Water, why would you..."

Banana was puzzled and asked, bewildered.

"You’ll know soon enough. None of these villagers are fools; I reckon it won’t be long before even this price won’t be good enough."

Su Ran chuckled lightly, looking at Banana, "I have a mission that requires a huge amount of Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorses. If I don’t give these locals some sweeteners, how will they go all out for me?"

"You need so much?"

Banana hurriedly took out all the fish he had caught recently, nearly a dozen Tripartite Blood Fish and over a dozen Magic Seahorses.

"Overturning Water Brother, I’m gifting all these to you—let’s not talk money, or I’ll get agitated!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Alright, then thanks!"

Su Ran didn’t stand on ceremony, taking all the blood fish and seahorses into his possession. After that, he took out all the healing potions and mana potions he had obtained from killing monsters, as well as special potions he had acquired during this time.

"Overturning Water Brother, you don’t need to give me so much, you’re too polite!"

Though he said this, Banana earnestly collected all the potions, a smile clear in his eyes.

"You hold my spot; I’m going to do the mission."

Su Ran patted Banana on the shoulder and quickly left the place.

"Overturning Water Brother really is unfathomable. Is this the only way to become an unparalleled expert?"

Banana watched in solemn thought as Su Ran departed, murmuring to himself.

...

"Why are you back already, lad? It hasn’t even been two hours; have you given up already?"

The Sea Area Messenger looked coldly at the black-robed player riding a dog, his contempt barely concealed.

"Your Excellency, I was lucky enough to catch some Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorses on the seabed and have come to exchange them for some Calamity Avoiding Charms."

Su Ran jumped off Wang Cai and took out all the Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorses he had just caught, piling them on the ground.

"Irresponsible!"

The Sea Area Messenger snorted coldly but, constrained by the rules, he grudgingly exchanged the fish, tossing over 45 Calamity Avoiding Charms while ridiculing, "Not focusing on mining but leisurely catching fish instead, interesting. You still have eight hours left, which should be enough for you to squander away."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency. I will surely strive to complete the task you’ve entrusted to me, and I’m determined to bring back a hundred Sea Blue Crystals within the specified time!"

Su Ran made a bold promise on the spot, puffing out his chest, his voice resounding firmly.

"Quit your smooth talking and get going! Without the Underwater Breathing Potion, I wonder how long you’ll last!"

The Sea Area Messenger’s tone turned increasingly icy, and by the end, he simply turned his gaze elsewhere, unwilling to pay Su Ran any more attention.

"Then Your Excellency, please stay busy. I’ll go strive to dig up all the Sea Blue Crystals!"

Su Ran took his leave and, riding on Wang Cai, sped away from the place.

"Such a deluded dreamer!"

The Sea Area Messenger muttered disdainfully, his eyes drifting toward the sea, lost in thought.

...

"Hahaha, it was ridiculously easy to collect fifty Calamity Avoiding Charms. This is truly a great opportunity to make a fortune!"

After getting away from the Sea Area Messenger, Su Ran couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into laughter. He had now confirmed one thing—if he had enough Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorses, he could exchange for Calamity Avoiding Charms indefinitely!

This was just too awesome!!!
