Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1441 - 1320: Another Skill Acquired

"Wishing Pool? There’s actually one of those."

Amu God King readily admitted, showing no intention to hide it. This was somewhat unexpected for Su Ran, as the Wishing Pool was something he’d entirely made up—yet, to his surprise, it really existed in the Main City!

Wow, what a coincidence!

"Where is it? How come I haven’t seen it?"

Su Ran’s interest was immediately piqued; if he could save the Blood Rune Scroll, he’d be willing to pay almost any price!

"In the ancient times, there was a legend of a Wishing Pool in the Divine Domain Main City, but since the Divine Wish Stone was lost, the pool lost its divine effects. Eventually, the water dried up, and only the God Totem remained—sadly, even the totem is now in pieces."

Amu God King was lost in memories, his expression complex.

Crap, so the Divine Wish Stone came from here—that’s why it has such powerful effects!

Whenever the Divine Wish Stone was mentioned, Su Ran would think of the Ancient Three Coins, which were said to have similarly miraculous wishing powers but with different costs.

The Divine Wish Stone originated from the Wishing Pool in the Divine Domain, but what about the Ancient Three Coins? Who had made them and why did they entail such a bloody price?

Su Ran decided not to dwell on these impractical matters, as the reward was what mattered.

Judging by the situation, he wouldn’t get the corresponding reward until the totem statue was repaired, so Su Ran had to put the reward on hold for now. Curiously, he asked, "Senior, is there anything I need to do?"

"Young hero, please retrieve the pieces of the totem, and leave the foundational work to me."

Amu God King crouched down and cleaned the ground, not even looking up as he delegated the task.

Hey, there really is a quest!

Su Ran was revitalized. The totem fragments were right in his possession—it was time to trick an NPC again, and he could not let this opportunity slip!

With that thought, Su Ran feigned difficulty and looked at Amu God King, speaking in a hesitant voice, "Senior, the Celestial Realm is so vast, where should I even begin searching? Do you have any sort of detection tool that could save me some time?"

"Young hero, I’ve just awakened; how could I have any tools for you? You gave me this Rune Wand and throne, have you forgotten already?"

Amu God King put on a helpless expression. "Finding the totem fragments requires fate, something that can’t be forced. I believe in your abilities, young hero. Even if it takes you three years, I’ll wait for you three years!"

Great.

Another penny-pincher.

He had gained little benefit from this God King but had given up a lot—Rune Wand, throne, the Blood Demon Mirror, and that Blood Rune Scroll. Each was a treasure worth a fortune, yet all he got was a verbal reward. His heart was full of doubt: was he tricking the NPC, or was the NPC tricking him?

"Senior, don’t you have a trick or two to teach? As I roam the world, it would be good to have some means of self-defense. Otherwise, what if I don’t just fail to recover the totem fragments, but also lose my life? Wouldn’t that disappoint your expectations?"

Su Ran was not giving up, eying Amu God King’s skills. If there were no material rewards, there ought to be at least a skill reward, right?

"Young hero, your physique isn’t suitable for... ah, right, I haven’t seen you in action. What’s your profession again?"

"..."

Su Ran felt the urge to slap him across the face. He was already rushing to refuse without even knowing his career. Was he that unwelcome?

So much for affinity—it’s all a scam!

"Senior, I am a Necromancer, adept at summoning Undead pets. Well, giving me a pet would be just fine—I’m not picky."

"Young hero, you’ll be disappointed again. Not even I have a pet to offer you, and it wouldn’t matter if you were picky."

Amu God King outright refused without even considering it, scoffing at the idea of a God King helping a Necromancer find a pet. What a joke!

"Senior, don’t be so modest. With just one command from you, countless Birdmen would come to fight—even I, a Summoner, am envious..."

Su Ran immediately retorted, striving for his own interest with reason and evidence, for the NPCs needed him and would definitely not turn against him.

"Ignorant!"

Amu God King let out a cold laugh, "This is an innate ability of the royal family, unrelated to skills!"

"However..."

He looked up at Su Ran, paused for a moment, then continued, "This quest to find totem fragments is indeed no easy task for you, not giving you some benefits would be somewhat unreasonable."

"What the senior says is very true!"

Upon hearing these words, Su Ran knew there was hope, his face full of anticipation as he looked at the God King, waiting for him to continue.

"I have a passive skill that should be useful for your profession."

Amu God King stood up and condensed a ball of light in his right hand, then lightly pushed it forward. The ball of light passed through Su Ran’s mask, entered his skull, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player Skeleton for comprehending the special skill, Pet Star Chart!"

The system prompt sounded, making Su Ran so excited he nearly jumped up. He didn’t even bother to thank the God King, as he hurriedly looked at the special passive skill. The word ’Pet’ in the skill’s name meant he definitely couldn’t go wrong!

[Pet Star Chart](Special)

Permanently obtain an extra star chart space, an additional pet slot. Pets in this space have their betrayal rate reduced by 50%, summon cooldown reduced by 20%, recovery effect +30%.

Wow, this skill is really great!

Did the God King think I was about to get the Sun God Bird pet and specially pave the way for me in advance?

Just one more Soul Stone, and I can properly hatch the Sun God Bird’s Pet Egg!

With that, having a divine pet will be easy as pie, right?

Wahaha, can’t get too comfy with this!

"Thank you, senior. I will definitely not let you down and will bring you the totem fragments as soon as possible!"

Su Ran gave a bow to Amu God King and then pretended to run towards the city gates.

After loitering outside the city for a while and finding no players coming this way, he had already guessed that, upon learning of the Amu God King’s fame, all the players lost their spirit. Rather than dying in frustration, it’d be better to stay peacefully in the Imperial City of the Human Race...

Ten minutes passed as Su Ran bided his time, and then he quickened his pace, sprinting toward the direction of Amu God King.

"Senior, senior!"

Su Ran pretended to be out of breath as he ran up to Amu God King, and said with a joyous tone, "Your grace, I have brought, brought the totem fragments!"

"What?"

Amu God King was startled, standing up straight, his gaze filled with suspicion as he exclaimed, "So soon?"

"Men have to be quick, don’t they?"

Su Ran, feeling great after acquiring the Pet Star Chart skill, smoothly took out all the fragments and tossed them on the ground.

"..."

Amu God King took a deep look at Su Ran, then without saying more, after laying the foundation, he assembled the totem fragments into the shape of a statue and placed it on the ground.

"Eh? Why isn’t it working?"

By all logic, the system prompt should have sounded upon quest completion, since this was a regional quest issued by the system, and rewards are a given. But the God Totem was now completely assembled with its foundation in place, so why wasn’t the quest considered complete?

Strange!
