Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 819 - 741: Draining the Sea Envoy Dry

"Today is a good day, all the tasks I’ve received can be completed~" (Humming kids, raise your hands)

Su Ran rode on Wang Cai, humming a tune, and made his way to the Sea Emissary.

"How come you’re back again? It seems you’ve decided to give up."

The Sea Emissary frowned upon seeing Su Ran’s carefree demeanor, feeling a bit suspicious. He thought there were only two possibilities for this kid to be in such a state: either he had completed the task or had outright given up the task, thus naturally the shackles and pressure imposed on him were gone.

As for the possibility of completing the task, the Sea Emissary didn’t hold out any hope, especially since the kid hadn’t even exchanged for an Underwater Breathing potion; just getting him to the sea bottom would be a problem, let alone mining on the seabed rocks!

It wasn’t hard to guess, this kid’s purpose for coming here was to abandon the task of collecting Sea Blue Crystals!

"Your Excellency, this junior has come to exchange for some Underwater Breathing potions."

Su Ran paid no attention to the Sea Emissary’s mocking tone or the obvious disdain in his eyes, plainly stating his reason for coming.

"Ho, finally hit the south wall and decided to turn around?"

The Sea Emissary was surprised that the kid hadn’t given up yet, "Time’s already more than halfway up, even if you want to keep trying, it’s too late! If I were you, I’d simply abandon the task, so I can leave this damned place sooner."

As if he hadn’t heard the Sea Emissary’s implication, Su Ran took out thirty Tripartite Blood Fish and said very respectfully, "Your Excellency, please exchange all of these for Underwater Breathing potions."

"Hmph, truly stubborn to a fault!"

The Sea Emissary scolded angrily, very annoyed with Su Ran’s refusal to listen, his face darkening. He directly threw thirty bottles of potion on Su Ran, "You’re not giving up until you’re at the end of your rope. I really want to see how you’re going to complete this task!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency. This junior will do his utmost to complete the task you’ve set!"

Su Ran put away the Underwater Breathing potions and then carefully asked, "Your Excellency, I have a question to consult. No matter how many Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorses I provide, can you exchange them for enough Calamity Avoiding Charms?"

"Big talker!"

The Sea Emissary, bound by the rules to not leave before the task ended, otherwise would have left in a huff long ago due to Su Ran’s annoying persistence. He took a deep breath, pressing down his irritability before saying, "Since you insist on not giving up on the task, I’ll indulge you. There are still a few hours left, I can wait. As for the exchange, as many as you have, I will exchange without limit!"

"That’s great."

Su Ran let out a sigh of relief and without saying another word, pulled out a large quantity of Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorses, saying cheerfully, "Your Excellency, please help me exchange for 764 Calamity Avoiding Charms."

"..."

The Sea Emissary was dumbstruck.

He had suspected that Su Ran had a considerable number of Tripartite Blood Fish to exchange, but he never dreamed there would be so many!

Oh my God!

Did this kid catch all the Tripartite Blood Fish in the entire ocean?

In just a few hours, he managed to gather so many deep-sea fish; this kid’s fishing efficiency was simply terrifying!

"Are all of these to be exchanged for Calamity Avoiding Charms?"

The Sea Emissary’s tone of voice was a bit unnatural as he spoke, "Let me first check if there are enough Calamity Avoiding Charms..."

"What? Didn’t Your Excellency say, exchange as many as I have?"

Su Ran feigned ignorance, relieved that he had the foresight to cut off any exits for the Sea Emissary; otherwise, who knows what excuses he might have made up to refuse him!

"Nonsense, who would’ve thought you’d pull out so many!"

The Sea Emissary glared at Su Ran angrily, feeling like the latter was waiting to laugh at him, and became even more frustrated.

"Whoosh!"

A large school of Tripartite Blood Fish disappeared from Su Ran’s sight as the Sea Envoy handed over a big bundle of talisman papers, saying coldly, "Here are 538 Calamity Avoiding Charms, take them quickly!"

"Huh? Something’s not right. Envoy, you haven’t exchanged these Magic Seahorses for me yet?"

Surprised and confused, Su Ran looked at the Magic Seahorses neatly arrayed on the ground.

"Not enough Calamity Avoiding Charms, if there were more in stock, I would have exchanged them for you already!"

The Sea Envoy’s face turned dark as he spoke irritably to Su Ran, "As for these Magic Seahorses, they’re all to be exchanged for Underwater Breathing potions. Take it or leave it; if you don’t want to exchange, forget about it!"

"Fine, fine, let’s exchange them; it’s better than letting them spoil in my own hands."

"You..."

Hearing Su Ran’s reluctant tone, the Sea Envoy almost choked with rage. The Underwater Breathing potions were treasures hard to come by in the outside world, so why did it seem like such a reluctant deal for this kid? Besides, the current mission to collect Sea Blue Crystals, it was impossible without these potions!

"Take them!"

The Sea Envoy felt his inner rage becoming almost too much to suppress, as he tossed 226 bottles of Underwater Breathing potions at Su Ran, then turned aside, no longer paying him any attention.

"Envoy, I have one more request."

As if oblivious to the Sea Envoy’s annoyance, Su Ran pulled out a Money Fish and presented it to the Sea Envoy.

"How can you... Eh? A Money Fish?"

The Sea Envoy was about to explode with anger when he saw the Money Fish in Su Ran’s hand, but suddenly, his anger subsided. After coughing, he said coldly to Su Ran, "Speak, what treasure do you want to exchange for?"

"Calamity Avoiding Charms."

"None left! Choose something else!"

The Sea Envoy felt the nerves on top of his head twitching uncontrollably, no doubt irritated entirely by Su Ran.

"Then how about the Dream Searching Mirror?"

"You must be dreaming! How could I have such a legendary treasure? Even if I did, it wouldn’t be something that could be exchanged for a mere Money Fish!"

The Sea Envoy glared at Su Ran, his voice thunderous with rage.

"Sigh, I knew I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. How about something to unseal the Platinum Pet Egg?"

"...I don’t have that either!"

"You don’t have this, you don’t have that, what treasures do you actually have?"

Su Ran said resignedly, pursing his lips, "Just provide a list for me to pick from, it would be so much better that way."

Finding his point reasonable and not wanting to argue with Su Ran anymore, the Sea Envoy displayed all the treasures on the list in front of Su Ran.

"That’s more like it!"

Su Ran began searching through the treasure list with some excitement, but after being busy for a while, the bit of hope in his heart completely shattered. The list contained nothing but special potions, Bronze Equipment, and Silver Equipment, standard fare. Even the solitary piece of Gold Equipment was level 20, which didn’t even trigger the desire to exchange.

"Turns out this Sea Envoy’s pockets are quite empty..."

Su Ran searched through the treasures disinterestedly, eventually skimming ten lines at a time, quickly coming to the last page.
