Chapter 833: Chapter 755: The News that Surprised Su Ran (Third Update)

"This Pet Egg, I can remove the seal," said the Great White Shark, "but it will require me to stay here for a short period of time."

The Great White Shark pondered for a moment before continuing, "Such a seal cannot be broken with brute force, lest it affects the aptitude of the Little Gold dragonling inside. The seal must be slowly eroded away, which I estimate will take about ten days to half a month."

"Ten days to half a month? That’s not a long time."

Su Ran handed over the Pet Egg along with the Sea Soul Fish to the Great White Shark, "Senior, then I shall trouble you."

The Great White Shark placed the Pet Egg to one side, then took the precious Sea Soul Fish into its mouth, chewing it heartily.

Fortunately, the old shark was not foolish enough to chew the Pet Egg. Otherwise, the loss would have been tremendous.

Su Ran’s current worry was that the Great White Shark had placed the Pet Egg so casually; if the system refreshed it away, what would he do?

However, seeing the indifferent expression on the Great White Shark’s face, Su Ran felt he might be worrying too much.

"Whoosh!"

Pale blue luster bathed the Great White Shark, making it shimmer, as if someone would think it was carved out of jade upon seeing it.

In a short while, the blue glow gathered into the mind of the Great White Shark. Its skeleton began to crackle and pop, and it seemed like an illusion, but Su Ran noticed that the Great White Shark’s size had increased significantly.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player Skeleton Lord for gaining the friendship of the Great White Shark. Loyalty +20."

Not bad at all, another 20 points increase in loyalty from the Great White Shark! With such high loyalty, this big fellow was definitely in his bowl now!

"It’s not been easy!"

The Great White Shark regained its mobility in the mud and let out a long sigh, its tone filled with melancholy, "I can’t remember how many tens of thousands of years of agony I’ve endured. Finally, my Soul Origin has fully recovered, Skeleton Lord, I owe you too much!"

"Senior, you’re too kind!"

Su Ran quickly said with modesty, yet he was chuckling to himself, thinking as long as you know you’re in debt. When my territory is attacked, would you really have the heart to not help?

"Senior, you have taken a great effort to evolve all the creatures in the Swamp Pool. This great kindness, I will remember it in my heart."

"That’s nothing."

The Great White Shark glanced at the distant Swamp Leeches and fire toads with disdain, "It also benefits me. Back when I was using ice to heal, I couldn’t pay attention to the outside world. If the creatures around me were too weak, who knows if someone would have stolen me away!"

Wait a minute, something about that statement seems off?

Upon hearing the Great White Shark’s words, Su Ran instinctively crossed his heart. After all, it was he who had stolen the Great White Shark initially, but he didn’t ponder on it much. Now that the Great White Shark had become one of his top generals, he thought, let it be.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Senior, to continue training these fire toads and leeches. This way, the defensive strength of my territory could be greatly enhanced."

"You don’t need to tell me, I would have done it anyway," the Great White Shark retorted sternly, "Living in the same swamp, it reflects poorly on me if my subordinates are too weak."

The Great White Shark snorted coldly, clearly very dissatisfied with the generally low level of the monsters spawning nearby.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you further."

While Su Ran was secretly laughing inside, he said seriously, "By the way, Senior, when I was searching for the weapon you lost, I was ambushed and nearly met with danger. I barely survived, but I ended up acquiring this shark skin."

No sooner had Su Ran finished speaking than he had taken out the old shark skin and spread it out on the ground.

"This shark skin... it was left behind after I died."

The Great White Shark did not hide anything as he swam out of the water. Upon touching the skin, a miraculous scene occurred.

The shark skin, as if it had come to life, flew up from the bottom of the pool on its own, wrapping around the huge skeleton. It slipped into place, dressing the Great White Shark as though it were a living shark that appeared before Su Ran.

"It is a pity that the soul remnants in the skin have dissipated; otherwise, it could have further enhanced my strength."

The Great White Shark shook off the skin, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it. After a moment, it continued, "Skeleton Lord, thank you for helping me recover my skin from life. Although its defense is much less than before, it can still provide me some resistance."

"Senior, since this was yours during your lifetime, it’s only right to return it to its original owner! Now, about that Pet Egg... please take care of it for me. I’ve got some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first and come visit you another time."

As soon as Su Ran heard the Great White Shark mention the residual soul, he felt trouble brewing and quickly made up an excuse to bid a hasty farewell, using Instant Movement to return to his territory.

"That was close, thank goodness the old shark didn’t probe too deeply. If it found out that the residual soul on its skin had been devoured by the little zombie, would it have turned hostile on the spot?"

Su Ran wiped off the dripping pond water from his body, and only then did his slightly nervous expression begin to settle.

"But returning the shark skin to its original owner was a good choice after all. Even if I turned it into gold gear to sell, it wouldn’t make a fortune, but using it to increase the Great White Shark’s strength and relying on it to defend my territory, that’s a good move! Not a loss at all!"

Su Ran couldn’t help but wonder if those players attacking his territory would wet themselves on the spot upon discovering he was keeping a Great White Shark in the swampy pond?

That amusing image flashed through Su Ran’s mind, almost making him burst into laughter.

"Right, it seems someone tried to contact me just now."

Only then did Su Ran remember that his messaging alerts had gone off while he was discussing business with the Great White Shark.

Opening his friends interface, Su Ran was surprised to find that it was Big Blood Bull who had reached out.

"What’s going on? Did this guy get wind of the Summoning Manual so soon?"

Curiously, Su Ran clicked open Big Blood Bull’s chat and looked at the message he had sent.

"Big bro, come to the Imperial City warehouse, I’ve got the Summoning Manual you need!"

"What?"

Su Ran was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected the Big Blood Bull to get his hands on such a challenging to obtain Summoning Manual LV3 in just a few hours?

You’ve got to be kidding me, right?!

But no, Big Blood Bull was clearly not the type to joke around!

After some thought, Su Ran decided to ask for clarification.

"Blood Bull, where are you?"

"Big bro, I’m waiting for you at the warehouse. When will you arrive?"

Big Blood Bull’s reply came swiftly; he was apparently waiting for a message from Su Ran.

"How did you get such a rare Summoning Manual?"

"Haha, surprised, aren’t you? Let’s talk more when you get here; it’s too much to explain in a moment."

"Okay, wait for me, I’ll be right there."

Su Ran closed the friends interface and hastily shook the drops of water off his cloak before hurrying towards the teleportation circle. With the teleportation circle, distance was no longer an issue!

Sewers, secret chamber.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of light appeared, and Su Ran fell headfirst from above, but having prepared himself mentally, he used the Treading on Air Technique in mid-air to regain his balance and landed on his feet.

"Phew, good thing there’s no one here, otherwise that could have been really embarrassing."

Su Ran looked around to check that no players were present before heaving a sigh of relief. Then he darted out of the sewers and headed towards the Imperial City warehouse. Before long, he spotted Big Blood Bull.

"Let’s talk in the warehouse."

Without waiting for Big Blood Bull to speak, Su Ran had already added him to the team and pulled him into his own warehouse.
