Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 825 - 747: Pretending to be a Big Shot

"Kaka."

Su Ran immediately refused. He wasn’t foolish enough to stick his head out. As a man, there was a basic dignity to maintain; he couldn’t just become a despicable lapdog every time he saw a beautiful woman!

Want to repay me, huh? That’s easy!

Without hesitation, Su Ran did a quick search below his waist and took out fifteen bottles of potions, piling them up in front of Overturning Water.

"Is this... Underwater Breathing potion?"

Overturning Water asked uncertainly, bending over to pick one up and inspect it. She was immediately taken aback, "Little Brother Su, where did you get so many precious potions? Don’t you know that I hate it when people show off their wealth in front of me?"

"Kaka."

Seeing Overturning Water’s unsophisticated reaction, Su Ran shook his head helplessly, pointed at the potions, and then at her, signaling that he was giving them all to her.

Tsch, if I were to take out all those two hundred-plus bottles, wouldn’t that just knock her out?

"For me? Little Brother Su, why are you suddenly so generous?"

Overturning Water felt a bit uncomfortable as she collected the potions, saying, "Little Brother Su, do you have any idea how much Underwater Breathing potions are going for on the market right now?"

Su Ran shook his head.

"Since the elite dungeon of Cloud City has been conquered, these potions have sold out on the market, causing their price to skyrocket. Now, I estimate they’d be hard to buy even for 500 gold coins each!"

gold?

My goodness, are these things really that valuable?

Su Ran glanced at the few potions left on the ground, quickly bent down to pick up a few, only to have Overturning Water swiftly scoop them all into her arms, tilting her head back triumphantly towards Su Ran.

"Tsk tsk, you want to take back what you’ve already given? Little Brother Su, that’s really LOW of you," Overturning Water said disdainfully, with an unpleasant tone.

"..."

Su Ran immediately felt a pang of pain—he meant a pain in the bones, ahem.

Forget it, he couldn’t possibly reach into her bosom to take them back, right? If he accidentally touched something he shouldn’t, that would really be a big problem, and a thousand explanations wouldn’t clear his name...

One must admit, this time he’d really acted the big shot—seventy-five thousand in cash just whoosh, gone...

"Hehe, with these fifteen Underwater Breathing potions, I can run the elite dungeon of Cloud City a few more times. Thanks, Little Brother Su~!" Overturning Water said with a happy smile, clearly very satisfied with the potions.

However, it wasn’t over yet.

Su Ran continued to pull out an old piece of paper and handed it to Overturning Water.

"What’s this?"

Overturning Water, who wasn’t germophobic, didn’t mind the paper’s dirtiness and started examining its attributes straight away.

"Oh my, this is a Calamity Avoiding Charm?!"

Overturning Water exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with joy. She quickly put the charm into her inventory, then looked at Su Ran with expectant eyes, "Little Brother Su, do you have any more? Do you have any more?"

Su Ran shook his head, but thought to himself that he had originally planned to give her fifteen charms too. However, since the Underwater Breathing potions were so expensive, he decided to make up for it with this. With that thought, Su Ran immediately felt much better.

"No more? That’s a shame. I didn’t even want to use such an excellent Calamity Avoiding Charm..."

The Calamity Avoiding Charm was a one-time use item, and Overturning Water naturally was reluctant to use it. Suddenly, she looked at Su Ran with a speculative gaze and ventured, "Give me one more Calamity Avoiding Charm, and I’ll take off five meals!"

Su Ran immediately handed over two Calamity Avoiding Charms.

"You’re a good kid, you really have extra stock!"

But Overturning Water only accepted one of them, grinning as she said, "Thought you could get out of treating me? No way! Little Brother Su, you still owe me for five meals, and I’m going to make sure to bleed you dry!"

Su Ran had nothing more to say; to think that for the sake of a few meals, one could give up a Calamity Avoiding Charm, this dedication to food had won his heartfelt admiration.

"Don’t just do it right, keep it for your own use!"

Su Ran took back the charm paper, settled his mind, and waited for Overturning Water to continue speaking.

"Little Brother Su, if you have any extra potions and these Calamity Avoiding Charms, I’ll buy them all for 500 gold each. If you want to sell, sell to me first, got it?"

After Overturning Water had finished entrusting her request, she summoned her phoenix, mounted it at the neck, and waved at Su Ran, "Little Brother Su, your sister is off to do a quest. The Calamity Avoiding Charm came at just the right time, perfect to test its power!"

"Screech!"

The phoenix let out a sharp cry, its wings ablaze with fire, flapping with great force. It quickly flew up into the sky and eventually became a tiny dot, until it disappeared.

"Phew, that woman has finally left!"

Su Ran felt as though he had just shed a thousand-pound weight, his act of playing mute had nearly suffocated him.

"This world is crazy, to think a bottle of potion could sell for 5,000 cash? Truly incredible!"

Every time Su Ran remembered how he had generously handed out fifteen bottles just before, his heart ached.

However, this small matter showed that Overturning Water had no covetous intentions towards his territory.

Spending tens of thousands to gain the firm support of a major guild is also worth it.

Such a little amount of money wouldn’t cause him any real pain, and with over five hundred Calamity Avoiding Charms left in his bladder, how much money would that be if all were converted to cash?

As he pondered, Su Ran’s heart melted.

"With the territory making small achievements, I’m quite looking forward to the onslaught of players’ armies..."

Su Ran chuckled softly; since he had taken control of the Shadow Stone Controller, his confidence had increased tremendously for no apparent reason.

What about the coalition of the five major guilds?

Upon reaching his plot of land, he was determined to make these players come but never return!

Thinking of this, Su Ran was filled with enthusiasm, his fighting spirit growing even stronger.

"Forget it, stop boasting and just go do the quest earnestly..."

Su Ran withdrew his aura and started jogging towards the village.

Arriving at the Guardian Thunder Tower, Su Ran took out the Heavenly Thunder Bead. Without the nourishment of the Heavenly Thunder Bead, the electric luminescence on the tower had visibly weakened.

"I’m off, old buddy!"

With the Heavenly Thunder Bead in hand again, Su Ran was in a great mood. He quickly moved to the teleportation circle, dressed properly, and activated the teleportation circle. Under the guidance of the magical array, he reappeared above the fishing island.

"Beep beep."

The sound of a friend notification came through, and upon opening it, he saw it was from Banana.

"Brother Overturning Water, I saw you went offline all of a sudden, thought something urgent came up."

"No worries, busy with a quest, will contact you later."

"Brother Overturning Water, the underwater world is so beautiful, I really wish I could live here forever!"

"Hmm, maybe you’ll think differently once your Underwater Breathing potion runs out."

"Forget it, casting pearls before swine, an unromantic man!"

"Two grown men discussing romance, romance itself would probably commit suicide by biting its tongue."

"..."

Closing the friend interface, Su Ran spurred his dog on and reached the northern beach in just over ten minutes.
