Online Game: Crazy Skeleton

"To cultivate the Sky-reaching Vine to completion within ten days? Are you kidding me?"

Upon hearing the system’s prompt, Su Ran’s first reaction was to call it nonsense. A small seedling like that, to grow into a towering tree in just ten short days—was such a thing even possible without resorting to something drastic like pulling it taller?

With that, Su Ran’s urge to complain grew even stronger.

"Overturning Water, how about it, is this manual the key item for the quest?"

Banana asked urgently, seemingly more concerned about it than his own quest.

"Mhm, the quest prompt is already there. It’s asking me to cultivate the Sky-reaching Vine; I have to complete it within ten days to proceed with the quest, otherwise, it’s considered a failure."

"Ten days? That’s brutal, this quest difficulty definitely deserves ten stars! The fact that you, big bro, received this quest is just unbelievable."

Even Banana felt indignant on behalf of Su Ran, thinking how cultivating the Sky-reaching Vine without a good ten or eight years would be feasible. A mere ten-day deadline was practically depriving players of any hope of completion!

"Overturning Water, we have to give it our best shot even if we’re bound to fail. Let’s go, we need to hurry and find that vine seedling, cultivate as much as we can to avoid future regrets."

"No rush."

Su Ran’s gaze lingered on that hidden space, which had once sealed a dark elf, a place he could not afford to overlook. With that thought, he pointed ahead and explained, "We haven’t explored the terrain over there yet. If there are also clues for the mission inside, it would be a shame to miss them."

"You make a good point, let’s go have a look!"

Banana instinctively looked towards Su Ran’s mount, Wang Cai. Normally, the dangerous work of scouting was left to Wang Cai, and Banana had gotten used to it.

"Woof woof!"

Wang Cai barked reluctantly twice before rushing toward the hidden space in the front, crossing over the fallen rubble into the interior.

Following closely behind, Su Ran and Banana swiftly arrived within this special space.

"Haha, big bro, look quick, there’s a teleportation circle over there!"

Banana pointed ahead, where a faint glow emanated, standing out conspicuously in the dim space, indicating that the teleportation circle was functioning properly. It was just unclear where the circle led.

"If we could teleport directly to the Elf Forest, that would save us a big hassle!"

"Dream on! If it were as simple as you say, what would we need the Sky-reaching Vine for!"

Su Ran immediately cut off Banana’s words and commanded Wang Cai to start exploring the space.

"Woof woof, woof woof woof!"

Suddenly, a series of urgent barks rang out not far away. Su Ran’s heart lifted with joy as he spoke to Banana, "Follow up, Wang Cai has found something good!"

"Something good? Heh, we’re really lucky, eliminating one boss and getting a buy-one-get-one-free deal, how polite of them!"

Banana, who never refused good fortune, didn’t wait for Su Ran to lead the way and hurried over to Wang Cai’s side, shouting excitedly, "Overturning Water, come quick, there’s a treasure chest here!"

Su Ran quickly walked over and saw a silver treasure chest sitting obediently on the ground, awaiting a fated person’s arrival.

"Banana, how high is your Luck Value?"

Su Ran watched Banana getting all excited and rubbing his hands together, quickly stopping him; opening treasure chests was closely related to Luck Value, and Banana’s recklessness could not be tolerated.

"Hey, my Luck Value is really high, it’ll shock you!"

When it came to Luck Value, Banana finally found an advantage he could boast about. He deliberately coughed and said with great pride, "I’m naturally an Elf-like being, bestowed with luck. My current Luck Value is a full 7 points! And when my level reaches 40, 50, 60, my Luck Value will get an additional +1!"

Bestowed with luck?

That’s a nice talent, gaining permanent increases in luck with each level milestone. This hidden profession is extraordinary!

Su Ran looked at the banana in surprise, then thought about his own special profession, the fragile Undead skeleton that couldn’t even wear equipment. To whom could he vent about such miserable treatment?

On the other hand, Banana’s Luck Value, compared to others, was more than sufficient, but compared to his own, all he could offer were two words, "Heh heh."

"Overturning Water, let me open this treasure chest. I guarantee I’ll get you some top-quality equipment!"

After Banana vowed confidently, he was just about to start on the chest, but was frozen by Su Ran’s words.

"My Luck Value is 14."

"..."

Banana stared at Su Ran dumbfounded, wanting to say something but unable to speak, he could only walk aside with a strong sense of defeat in his heart.

Pah, what innate luck. Compared to Brother Overturning Water’s demon-like fortune, what is there to brag about? Even thinking about the smugness he felt earlier made him blush. Great players really hide their strengths...

Su Ran walked over, looked carefully at the chest and discovered it was locked, needing a silver key to open. He felt secretly relieved, thankful that he still had one silver key left, which came in handy here.

"Click."

The treasure chest opened, and a dazzling light shone from within.

"What good stuff did it reveal?"

Banana couldn’t wait to see what treasures such high Luck Value would yield.

"A weapon, ten bottles of special potions, and two seeds."

There was a strange look in Su Ran’s eyes, especially after picking up one of the special potions, he became even more agitated.

"Not even a single gold coin? Talk about bad luck."

Banana said with a hint of schadenfreude, clearly implying that he should have been the one to open the chest, since he would at least have gold coins to show for it.

"Yeah, the luck wasn’t great, only found a level 40 Golden Crossbow."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Banana instantly perked up, rushed forward to take a look, and was immediately captivated by the appearance of the crossbow.

"Hey, Brother Overturning Water really has boundless fortune, to get a golden equipment from a silver chest, this luck is simply incredible!"

"I had no choice, not even one gold coin came out, I’m afraid I’ve let you down."

"Not at all, not at all, just kidding, don’t take it seriously." freewebnøvel.com

Banana chuckled and held the crossbow, playing with it non-stop, not hiding the joy in his eyes at all, "Brother Overturning Water, you have no idea, this crossbow has a much larger attack range than the one I am using now! When I hit level 40, it’s going to be like upgrading from a musket to a cannon, haha!"

"Here, I’ll give you two more experience amulets, hurry up and get yourself to level 40, don’t drag your feet."

Seeing Banana’s strong desire to level up, Su Ran casually helped him out. Having another powerful contributor for defending his territory in the future was a win-win situation.

"Haha, thanks, big bro!"

Banana knew the magic of the experience amulets and didn’t stand on ceremony with Su Ran. He took the amulets and put them in his pack, giggling, "With these double experience points, just need to find a spot with lots of grinding, and I’ll definitely hit level 40 within a week!"

"This is just an appetizer, this is what I really need."

Su Ran waved the bottle of special potion in front of Banana.
