Chapter 1715: Chapter 1492: Digging Graves to Change Fate (Combined)_2
“How is grave digging a waste of ti? You can dig up Underworld Coins, Infinite Money, and other treasures. By the way, Infinite Money can be used to randomly draw skills at the bookstore—there’s even a chance to get a Divine Technique!”
Su Ran couldn’t help but defend grave digging, calling it a noble but challenging task that shouldn’t be judged unfairly!
“Looks like these graves really are sothing, just like wild treasure chests. No wonder the ga added grave elents—they’re so useful.”
After hearing Su Ran’s explanation, Xue Wuqing seed to have unlocked a new perspective. Her earlier aversion to graves faded, and she complained to Su Ran, “Overturning Water, why didn’t you tell earlier? I missed so many graves during missions before—thinking about it breaks my heart.”
“The key is, you never asked!”
Su Ran grinned and added, “Banana doesn’t even know about this yet. Oh, by the way, you have to keep this a secret for . Grave digging—keep it low-profile, let’s quietly rake in the wealth.”
“Look at your sneaky face—you’ve clearly dug up plenty of treasures.”
Xue Wuqing noticed that Overturning Water beca much more animated when the topic of grave digging ca up. It wasn’t hard to deduce that he had nabbed quite a few rewards from those graves.
“Not bad, I pretty much built my fortune through grave digging. As long as you approach it with the right mindset, it’s not that disgusting.”
“There’s honor in all professions—looks like you’re truly outstanding in the field of grave digging.”
Xue Wuqing realized Su Ran was veering farther off-topic and decided to change the subject. She looked at the Sky-reaching Vine and asked, “Overturning Water, if this vine grows to the point of touching the heavens, have you thought about moving your territory onto it?”
The Elf Palace resides atop the Sky-reaching Vine, its safety beyond question. Even the Ghost Clan couldn’t harm it during their massive invasion—proof that it’s a wise strategic choice.
“This vine is still far from being a behemoth; there’s no rush for now.”
Su Ran stared at the Sky-reaching Vine, which had been compressed into a tight sphere due to the Primordial Immortal Branch’s influence. It glead with a radiant array of colors, appearing highly mystical upon close inspection.
“I feel like this Sky-reaching Vine could grow to that level soday. Using it to guard the territory might make it nearly impossible for invaders to break in. No wonder you always play the hands-off leader!”
Xue Wuqing surveyed the territory’s formidable defenses. From the archer sentries atop the walls to the Guardian Thunder Tower, Six Harmony Magnetic Core Formation, Mountain Suppression Stone, Demon-sealing Platform, and Sky-reaching Vine, everything exuded strength. The fact that Overturning Water had developed his territory to this level single-handedly was truly remarkable!
“Heh, but I can’t sit around guarding the territory all day without leveling up! Now that you and Banana are helping with defense, I’m much more at ease.”
Su Ran chuckled, but before he could continue speaking, his friend notification sound went off.
He checked the ssage—it was from Qing Qi.
“Overturning Water, where are you? I have good news for you!”
“I’m at the territory. Just say whatever it is.”
Su Ran didn’t try to hide anything about the territory. He’d already decided Qing Qi would be one of its permanent residents. Once she rejoined the Elf Clan, the alliance rules would ensure her place in the territory—official enrollnt was just a formality.
“I received the inheritance!”
“Oh, okay… Wait, what? Inheritance?!”
Su Ran froze in surprise and instinctively asked, “Wasn’t your inheritance attempt already a failure?”
“Fire Spirit Se Rong rewarded with an Elf Inheritance Stone—I can hardly believe it myself!”
Qing Qi’s voice was full of urgency and delight, making it easy to tell that her inheritance was no ordinary one.
“Damn, these NPCs are way too biased! They tried to kill on the spot while giving you exclusive perks—that’s what passes for ‘equality’?!”
Su Ran was indignant and couldn’t stomach the unfair treatnt. He wanted to go confront that Fire Spirit—it wasn’t right to act this way!
“Overturning Water, don’t forget—I’m an elf, not human. Where does equality even co into this? Just swallow this unfairness!”
Qing Qi giggled mischievously. “Aren’t you curious about the changes I’ve undergone since receiving the inheritance?”
“Let’s not rush to the inheritance matter yet. Do you happen to know an NPC called Granny Blind?”
Su Ran pinpointed his question. He needed to return the Wordless To to Granny Blind—a task tied to a major reward that Qing Qi’s involvent might simplify.
“How do you know about Granny Blind? The special space I was directed to ca from her guidance.”
Qing Qi was quite surprised as she responded, “What do you need her for?”
“It’s a long story. Send Granny Blind’s coordinates—we’ll et up there.”
Hearing Qing Qi’s transmission, Su Ran subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It significantly reduced the task difficulty; handing over the Wordless To promised lavish rewards!
“Wu Qing, you stay here and look after the Sky-reaching Vine. I’m heading out for a mission but will be back soon.”
Su Ran had no intention of lingering around; handing off the vine to Xue Wuqing, he bolted off, indifferent to whether she agreed or not. His first stop was Architectural Grandmaster Lu Yue. After exchanging a few words with him, he handed over the blueprint for building a warehouse, entrusting this crucial construction project to Lu Yue with full confidence.
Using the coordinates Qing Qi shared, Su Ran teleported away, heading straight for the Desert of Death.
“Why is he in such a hurry? What’s he trying to do?”
Watching Su Ran disappear, Xue Wuqing seed montarily dazed. At that mont, the old beggar erged from a nearby house, moving towards her location to start constructing a new building—the warehouse.
This was Su Ran’s idea: placing the warehouse near the teleportation point for easier access to stored equipnt.
“Sir, what are you building here?”
Xue Wuqing asked curiously. While she hadn’t heard of this particular structure before, she knew about the NPC from Su Ran’s descriptions—this was none other than Lu Yue, Architectural Grandmaster of the Human Race.
The old beggar focused entirely on his construction, paying no attention to anything else, and certainly not bothering to reply.
Xue Wuqing turned away without fuss. She understood that these high-level NPCs often had eccentric temperants—you just had to deal with it.
Shifting her gaze, her attention returned to the Sky-reaching Vine. She was eager to see how it would evolve after absorbing the Primordial Immortal Branch.
…
Su Ran stepped into the Desert of Death once again. He had no ti for distractions, rushing straight to the destination Qing Qi had marked. Finding Granny Blind and completing the task were his top priorities—his rewards couldn’t wait!
While navigating the Desert of Death, he encountered several players. Thankfully, there was no conflict this ti, and he smoothly reached Qing Qi. She was squatting on the ground, idly playing with sand while a nearly one-ter-tall sand pile ford beside her—clearly, she’d been waiting for a while.
“Overturning Water, why are you looking for Granny Blind? She doesn’t know Fire Spirit Se Rong, so even if you seek her out, it’s pointless.”
Qing Qi guessed that Su Ran’s urgency might be tied to confronting the Fire Spirit, but if so, he was barking up the wrong tree.
“What are you talking about? I’m finding her to finish a task.”
Su Ran pulled out the Wordless To and shook it in front of Qing Qi. “I found this in a Mithril Treasure Chest. It asks to deliver it to Granny Blind as part of a task. Luckily you knew her coordinates—otherwise, I’d have been wandering around clueless.”
“Lucky find! You even triggered a task from it. What other treasures did the Mithril Treasure Chest contain?”
Qing Qi’s eyes lit up with curiosity, eagerly awaiting his reply.
“My luck isn’t as good as yours—you even got an inheritance.”
Since Qing Qi had a right to know, Su Ran shared everything he’d pulled from the treasure chest with her, including the origins of the to. He then asked in puzzlent, “What about your two Stone Cores? Aren’t they for a task too? Are you also looking for Granny Blind?”
“Yes, that’s right. We’ll each claim our own rewards—let’s see whose reward is better!”
To Qing Qi, the items from the Mithril Treasure Chest were hardly tempting. Lacking a territory herself, the blueprints were pretty much useless—a weak consolation compared to her inheritance. Fate had spoken, and it wasn’t sothing she could alter, even with regret.
With the Wordless To in his hands, Su Ran eagerly awaited the generous rewards awaiting him.
