Chapter 1467: Chapter 134: Mental Damages Received (Two-in-One)_2

This NPC just has to be not stupid to realize that they should give some compensation for mental distress.

"Undead, stop being so ungrateful, you really think I can’t kill you?"

Sang Ze’s face showed a look of displeasure, being threatened with a task was indeed a first for him!

"Elder, if you keep going like this, then I’ll have to say goodbye. Talking with others costs money, talking with you costs lives!"

Su Ran made a tactical retreat – his usual trick. With a task at hand, he was sure this guy would fall for it!

Of course.

The premise is that this task is extremely important to the NPC, which would make his own bargaining chips even bigger!

"Undead, when did your Undead race become even more greedy than humans? You are truly a blight on your community, tarnishing the whole Undead race!"

Sang Ze was so angered by Su Ran that his chest heaved, his fists clenched tight, and the water swirling around him began to form slight vortices. The fish scattered far away, as if avoiding a plague, fearing they would be affected.

"Elder, I’m not as powerful as you make me out to be. As just a little skeleton, how could I possibly sway the entire race’s honor and rise or fall? I’m getting a bit embarrassed by your words."

For some reason, the angrier this NPC in front of him got, the more pleasure Su Ran felt. It would be great if he could anger him to death – perhaps the Godly Robes might recognize him as their new owner then; what a great win that would be!

"Undead, you truly are an odd one. No wonder you, with your fragile skeleton body, could make it to the God Race’s heavily fortified Soul Locking prison, confronting opponents stronger than you without fear and engaging in fierce verbal battles. Your courage is commendable!"

Seeing that Su Ran still wouldn’t comply, Sang Ze’s tone shifted urgently, and his expression softened slightly, "Undead, this task is perfect for you, won’t you reconsider?"

"I don’t make deals with tigers. Elder, you don’t give me the slightest sense of security. It’s better to let this task go!"

Su Ran replied with righteousness, and it wasn’t difficult to see from this that he’d bet correctly. There was no other taker for the task; it had to be given to him. Now, the tables had turned, and it was his turn to be tough!

"Undead, is that your choice?"

Sang Ze’s tone became colder as he spoke, still trying to persuade him, "If you complete this task, the rewards will be significant!"

"Rewards? If you don’t compensate me for the mental distress, no matter how great the task’s prize, I won’t even take a second glance!"

Su Ran no longer wanted to beat around the bush with this old-fashioned NPC and straightforwardly stated his terms. If Sang Ze still didn’t get it, Su Ran figured he might as well hit his head against a block of tofu and die. freewёbnoνel.com

"Mental distress compensation, you really are a petty profit-seeker!"

"Thanks for the compliment. I run a tight business, not owing anything. Once the compensation is settled, we can then talk about the task."

Su Ran said this earnestly. Since the NPC couldn’t see him anyway, even if Su Ran angered him, he had the means to protect himself; he was fearless!

"Hahaha, good, that’s very good!"

Sang Ze suddenly burst into laughter, taking Su Ran by surprise.

After a while, Sang Ze finally took out a Skill Book and threw it towards the area near Su Ran.

"This Universal Manual is to compensate you!"

"Elder, how generous of you!"

Su Ran was overjoyed to see this and instinctively wanted to go pick up the book, but just as he was about to move, he sensed something was wrong. This NPC had been angered to this extent by him, yet was so generous to give him a Skill Book - there must be a catch!

Thinking this, Su Ran was no longer in a hurry to pick up the manual, but instead summoned his clone, the Dark Bone Eagle.

Let it pick up the manual, a foolproof plan!

Even if the old man had set a trap, it no longer mattered.

The Dark Bone Eagle, in the water, without its aerial advantage, was much weaker, but picking up a manual was still doable.

Just as the cloned Bone Eagle was about to grab the manual, several ice arrows shot rapidly from all directions, blocking the escape routes and eliminating any hope for the Bone Eagle’s escape.

"Fuck, it’s definitely a trap!"

Su Ran exclaimed in shock, filled with relief that he’d been cautious. Otherwise, he would’ve wasted his Bone Burst skill - this old guy was really too sneaky; he couldn’t be unguarded!

What surprised him, though, was that these ice arrows only sealed the Dark Bone Eagle’s escape routes and didn’t aim to kill it, which meant that the Bone Eagle, remaining in place, had no trouble at all and easily picked up the manual.

"Undead, consider this a punishment for your disrespect! If you dare do this again, it won’t be as simple as this!"

Sang Ze scolded coldly and turned away, saying no more.

Phew, that was a close one!

Looks like this NPC has lost the urge to kill me, so this manual really belongs to me now.

A manual swindled with skill has to be kept no matter how trashy it is!

"Thank you, senior, for sparing my life. You’ve taught me a valuable lesson. From now on, I will rectify my bad habits. If you see that I haven’t changed my ways, feel free to smash me with the manual again. Don’t be polite!"

Su Ran giddily took the manual into his hands and upon a careful look, he immediately lost his composure.

[Universal Manual](Special)

Upon use, randomly upgrades a skill owned by the user, regardless of the skill’s tier.

"Oh my god, this is a god-tier support skill, the Universal Manual!"

Su Ran was so excited he nearly leapt out of the water. You have to understand, these Universal Manuals are incredibly rare. He had played the game for so long and had only gotten his hands on a few; he could count them on one hand!

He had never dreamt that he’d actually swindled a Universal Manual from an NPC. Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?

Even as he held the Universal Manual, Su Ran felt it was surreal, like scooping out a fish from dry land only to find it’s a giant whale!

From this, Su Ran came to a conclusion: this NPC is a big patron with deep pockets; you can’t afford to offend them!

Out of fear that the manual he acquired might turn into an illusion, Su Ran used the Universal Manual immediately. No matter which skill gets strengthened, it’s all profit!

Of course, if it could enhance a Magic Technique, that would be even better.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton, the Passive Bone Technique Undead Manipulation has been enhanced!"

The system notification made Su Ran feel refreshed, and he was immensely pleased.

"The Undead Manipulation skill is quite practical, not bad at all!"

Su Ran was very satisfied with this skill enhancement and didn’t bother paying attention to Sang Ze. He opened the skill panel to take a look.

[Undead Manipulation](Bone Technique) (Passive) (Enhanced)

Increases control over undead pets, reaction speed +2, agility +2, dodge +4, accuracy +4, with a certain chance to enter the Dark Revival state, restoring 60 health points per second for a duration of 10 seconds.

"Damn, it’s all doubled!"

Su Ran exclaimed with surprise as he looked at this Passive Skill, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Undead Manipulation is simply like a cheat skill made for pets, how sickeningly powerful!"

He firmly believed that with the addition of this Passive Bone Technique, his undead skeleton troops would no longer be pushovers but have the strength to stand on their own!

"Undead, are you satisfied with this compensation?"

Sang Ze had been waiting for a long while and had not heard Su Ran’s response; it was clear what the young man was thinking, "As long as you help me complete the mission, you will be handsomely rewarded!"

"Many thanks for your cultivation, senior! As long as the reward is good, I will spare no effort to complete the mission, with no ambiguity!"

Su Ran put away his joy from the skill enhancement and assured Sang Ze with full confidence.

"Good! That’s the vitality I want from a young man, and that unyielding spirit. I’m at ease entrusting this task to you!"

Just as Sang Ze was about to assign the mission to Su Ran, he was unexpectedly interrupted.

"Senior, hold on a moment, I’d like to know what the reward for this mission is."

Su Ran was the type who wouldn’t throw stones at a dog without a clear gain, especially with such a capricious NPC; he couldn’t let down his guard. He had to understand the reward first to avoid possible regrets later.

"Undead, your greedy nature is really irritating!"

Sang Ze had the urge to just walk away, but he suppressed it. If there were a second candidate, he definitely wouldn’t have chosen Su Ran. Dealing with this kind of person can shorten one’s life!

"Senior, you should understand that I’m someone who values rewards. As long as the mission difficulty matches the reward, I will do everything in my power to help you complete it. Handing the mission over to someone like me will actually make you more at ease! Of course, the premise is that the reward must be attractive enough to me."

Su Ran left unspoken another thought: even another Universal Manual would be acceptable.

"Undead, what’s wrong with satisfying your greed! Do you know about the Sun God Bird, the totemic divine beast of the God Race?"

"What?!"
