1317: Chapter 1220: Skill Acquired 1317: Chapter 1220: Skill Acquired One night without a word.
Without any outside enemies attacking, Su Ran’s guardian work was boring and tedious.
Ti dragged on, and as he watched the Great White Shark, with its full head of black hair, he almost wished he could rush forward and strip off all those threads of dark energy, just so he could finish earlier.
Ti was passing too slowly!
Fortunately, the worriso incident didn’t occur; that group of players didn’t co back to bother him, which was a lucky break amidst bad luck.
“If Little Six had to do this guardian job, he really wouldn’t cut it, not being able to hold out for such a long ti without suffocating to death.”
Su Ran was secretly relieved that he had the Ice Crystal Orb, so he didn’t have to worry about that.
Right then, all he wished for was to finish early and get his hands on that skill book.
With the Turtle Breathing Technique, summoning the undead in the water would no longer be a dream.
Finally.
After lengthy anticipation, Su Ran finally witnessed the transformation of the Great White Shark co to an end.
Having consud a vast amount of spirit energy, the Great White Shark appeared sowhat weakened.
Its massive fra shook, and the Bone Soul Ghost Fire in its eye sockets beca much less dense.
“Senior, are you alright?”
Su Ran felt surprised, not expecting the transformation into undead to have such severe aftereffects, leaving the creature looking worn out, barely clinging to life.
“Do I look alright to you?
Co and give a hand, quick!”
At that mont, the Great White Shark was like a tottering old man, at risk of falling at any mont.
Only the buoyancy of the water barely kept it afloat.
“I’d like to help you, but the thing is, I can’t actually lift you!”
Su Ran wouldn’t dare to do such a thankless task—what if he aggravated this old shark and got blad for it?
There were no caras here!
“Forget it, with those skinny arms and legs of yours, I can’t count on you.”
The Great White Shark was deeply disappointed in Su Ran, and then, with a deep voice, commanded, “Undead spearfish, awaken at once!”
“Splash!”
The pile of skeletal fish at the bottom of the pond stirred to life at the Great White Shark’s command, as if a soul had been infused into them.
They swiftly floated up from the bottom and rushed towards the Great White Shark, crowding around it to help support its enormous body.
“It really does make one envious to have such loyal minions.
One call and they all respond, none daring to disobey.
This effort wasn’t in vain!”
With this undeniable defensive force added to the swamp pool, how could Su Ran not be excited?
Although he voiced his envy, his heart was filled with delight, his eyes almost curving into a smile.
“Skeleton Lord, I need to go ditate and recuperate.
Don’t bother unless it’s sothing important.”
“Take care on your way, Senior.
Once I get the Sea Soul Fish, I will definitely bring them back imdiately!”
Watching this plague of a being leave, Su Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief and stretched, inwardly relieved that his guardianship task was, at last, over.
“Damn, I actually forgot to ask for my guardian reward!
Dropping the ball at the crucial mont—no wonder the old guy took off so quickly, stingy as always!”
Su Ran muttered in annoyance, but he knew that even if he got the old shark to give him a reward, it wouldn’t be anything of value.
Besides, considering how weak it had beco, asking for a reward now would seem like taking advantage of soone’s misfortune, and would only serve to decrease the old shark’s favorability towards him, which would be more trouble than it’s worth.
Having co to understand the complex relationship of interests, Su Ran decided not to dwell on the issue, and promptly teleported away from the place.
Back in Skeleton Village, Su Ran imdiately sent a ssage to Wu Liuyi, making his intentions very clear—it was for that General Skills book.
With the Turtle Breathing Technique, his pets would have more potential in the water.
For him, the increase in strength wasn’t just slight; it was a skill he couldn’t afford to miss!
“Overturning Water, mate, did you finish your task?
After working all night, the reward must be substantial, right?”
“There wasn’t any reward, not losing money would have already been a stroke of luck!
That NPC is stingy as hell, if I’d known I would have just abandoned the task!”
Su Ran explained with a tone of complaint, but internally, he was lanting that lying always required more lies to cover up.
He resolved to do this sort of thing as little as possible in the future, fearing he might really lead himself astray.
“Haha, I knew it, you might as well have completed the quest with .
You’re familiar with that Great White Shark, you might have even gotten a follow-up task.
What a sha…”
Wu Liuyi was still hung up on the Great White Shark.
Despite such a high completion rate, the fact that there was no follow-up mission really sucked!
“No one can predict an NPC’s thoughts, even if I went with you, it wouldn’t just give us both the green light.
Be content, at least you got an epic treasure chest!”
Human greed knows no bounds, which aptly described Wu Liuyi at the mont.
But this was only human nature; Su Ran would have wanted more as well.
“Sigh, that’s all I can hope for.
Overturning Water, where are you?
I’ll give you the Skill Book.”
“Let’s et at the Imperial City’s warehouse.
I’m about to enter a martial contest; no need to switch places.”
“Got it.”
…
Imperial City.
“Overturning Water my friend, here’s your Skill Book, take it.”
Inside the warehouse, the two were up to so sneaky dealings.
After handing the Skill Book to Su Ran, Wu Liuyi pulled out a blueprint with a chuffed expression, “This blueprint is quite special too, it’s for a Level 40 Silver Helt.
That’s to say, from one chest, three pieces of silver gear erged.
This luck is simply unbeatable!”
“You take these, I just want this Skill Book.”
Right in front of Wu Liuyi, Su Ran went ahead and used the unique General Skill Book.
“Ding!
Congratulations to player Skeleton for learning the Passive Skill, Turtle Breathing Technique!”
At the sound of the delightful system notification, Su Ran’s spirits lifted and he couldn’t help but smile uncontrollably.
[Turtle Breathing Technique](Passive)
Summoned pets gain the ability to breathe underwater, immune to the Suffocation buff and water pressure effects for five minutes; Undead pet durations are doubled.
“Hey, the effect is really not bad, and no side effects, it’s definitely a skill with integrity!”
Su Ran was very pleased with the skill he had just acquired, happiness evident in his voice, “Little Six, thanks a bunch!”
“Dude, stop being so polite, will you?
If you keep this up, Overturning Water, we can’t even be friends anymore!”
Wu Liuyi wasn’t a fan of Su Ran’s formalities, waved his hand dismissively, and spoke in a casual and straightforward manner, “We’ve got plenty of tasks to do together in the future.
If there’s gear I can use, I won’t be shy about it!”
“Haha, you’re right, I was too sentintal just now.
I’ll definitely not do that again!”
Su Ran was in a great mood after getting a new skill, which was evident from his tone.
Without much further chit-chat with Wu Liuyi and realizing the martial contest had yet to start, Su Ran logged off the ga.
He had another issue he wanted to get to the bottom of with his mother—why she had left the house so late and hadn’t returned for half an hour.
Cough, cough.
There was another pressing reason Su Ran rushed to log off—the urge to go was strong, and he had to take care of it!
