Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1578 - 1410: Unexpected Gains

"Little Skeleton, don’t rush to ask questions just yet, let me take a moment."

Yin Si looks at Su Ran with a complex expression, and after a long while, he sighs, "You... your luck, it’s really unprecedented and unrivaled. There’s no denying it!"

"Sir, you’re exaggerating a bit. It’s just dumb luck that I stumbled into winning these things. Even though I have them, I don’t know what to do with them—it’s quite embarrassing."

Su Ran said very humbly, "I believe with your insight, Sir, these little things surely won’t pose a problem for you, right?"

"You’re truly blessed with foolish luck. I’m even envious of you. Every time I see you, boy, you always bring me surprises. This is beyond dumb luck; after all, there aren’t that many dogs."

After getting used to the existence of these treasures, Yin Si then steered the conversation back to the main topic, "About the fee for this time..."

"You just name it, Sir. I can afford it."

Su Ran was prepared for Yin Si to demand an exorbitant price, as long as the Darkfire Bead could be successfully enhanced, it would be worth it!

"I need a Bloodline Azure Fruit."

"I have something else to do, I’m leaving first, goodbye."

Without another word, Su Ran turned to leave. What a joke—after barely surviving a trial and finally obtaining two Bloodline Azure Fruits, this profiteer just wants to take one away just by moving his lips? How could anyone be so shameless?

Some might have the nerve to make outrageous demands, but he’s going further—like a gluttonous beast, he’s expecting to be spoon-fed without bounds!

Profiteer, indeed worthy of the name!

"Little Skeleton, what’s the rush? It’s not too late to finish hearing me out."

Yin Si looked at Su Ran amusedly and explained, "This Bloodline Azure Fruit is a healing saintly item that can quickly heal even the most severe injuries. My pet happens to need a Bloodline Azure Fruit—consider it a favor I owe you." free𝑤ebnovel.com

"So, uh, is your favor worth much?"

Su Ran asked out of reflex. After experiencing Uncle Yu’s betrayal, he understood one thing: the smarter the NPC, the weaker the constraining power of the territory. Only when the friendship level is significantly increased can one be at ease, like the Ghost King Drought Fiend—it’s highly unlikely for her to betray in this lifetime.

Reasons not explained.

"Hehehe, in the whole God-Demon Continent, there are plenty who’d wish for me, Yin Si, to owe them a favor. You really are an exception!"

Yin Si’s giant mouth splits into a creepy grin; it’s hard to tell whether he is pleased or angry, "Don’t worry, you won’t be at a loss!"

"The problem is I just can’t feel at ease!"

Su Ran constantly reminds himself that he is dealing with a profiteer and cannot afford to be negligent! One misstep and he could fall into a trap. While he still has bargaining leverage, it’s crucial to strive for more benefits!

"Little Skeleton, daring to doubt my word, Yin Si, have you considered the consequences?"

Yin Si’s voice grows colder, but then he chuckles, "I’m in a good mood today; I won’t scare you. Since you want to know, let me explain. I will defend your city three times without charge, help advance your bead to a finished product, and also freely gift you the secret about the Bloodline Azure Fruit. There are not many who know this secret! How’s that, does this deal sound good to you?"

"Sir, don’t blame me for being nosy, but it’s better for everyone if things are clear up front. If it’s not a moment of crisis, please don’t waste the precious opportunity to defend the city, okay?"

For the terms presented by Yin Si, Su Ran was greatly tempted. These were essentially three lifelines for his territory—this alone was worth it! Not to mention the bead advancement and the secret of the Azure Fruit—this deal was valuable!

Now, Su Ran’s only worry was that Yin Si might be playing word games with him. If a small wave of attacks came to his territory, and this guy just made a token appearance, it would count as helping to defend—and that was not acceptable!

"Just because you’re a sly one, I accept! No dawdling, hurry up and hand over the Bloodline Azure Fruit!"

At this moment, Yin Si couldn’t care less about the petty issue; he stretched out his hand to Su Ran, demanding the precious Bloodline Azure Fruit.

"Can you help me advance this bead right now, sir?"

After handing the Bloodline Azure Fruit to Yin Si, Su Ran remembered the matter of the Darkfire Bead. Now that Yin Si had agreed to help with the advancement, there was no worry of him reneging on the deal. Although he’s a cunning merchant, his reputation still holds.

"I’m free right now, you little skeleton, give me the Advancement Scroll, and I will help you advance it!"

"Hey, that’s not right, Lord Yin Si, you didn’t mention needing an Advancement Scroll before, why the sudden change?"

A chill ran down Su Ran’s spine, all the caution in the world and still he fell for it!

Had I known this, it would have been better to clear things up first...

"Stop with the excuses; I can help you, but without the Advancement Scroll, forget about it!"

Yin Si looked at Su Ran with a smirk, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Lord, I remember you didn’t say that just now. How about this: give me back the Bloodline Azure Fruit, and we can repeat our conversation from before, deal?"

"Wishful thinking. Once a treasure lands in my hands, you think you can get it back? No chance!"

Yin Si knew exactly what Su Ran was thinking; such trivial tricks couldn’t fool him, but he didn’t leave Su Ran completely disappointed as he continued, "This Advancement Scroll isn’t particularly precious, and with your luck, obtaining this scroll wouldn’t be difficult."

"Lord, can you tell me where I can find this Advancement Scroll?"

"Look at what you’re asking! If I knew, I’d be rich by now."

"Alright, I understand."

Su Ran was now certain that he could not count on this cunning merchant for the advancement of the Darkfire Bead anytime soon, and he spoke in a deflated tone, "Now that I have the Bloodline Azure Fruit, can you tell me its secret?"

According to Yin Si, the Bloodline Azure Fruit was a divine heirloom for treating injuries. Even if there were secrets, they weren’t worth much attention, and that was mainly why Su Ran decided to trade.

He recalled the scene where the Extinct Tiger King consumed the Bloodline Azure Fruit; indeed, it was used for healing, and Yin Si hadn’t lied about that.

"You little skeleton, the Bloodline Azure Fruit also has the effect of stimulating bloodline potential, it’s just that the conditions are too strict and have long been forgotten."

"Stimulating bloodline potential? What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran immediately perked up and asked eagerly, "Does that mean it can make a pet evolve once?"

"It’s a breeze talking with a smart person. However, stimulating bloodline potential isn’t an easy task,"

Yin Si intentionally paused, baiting Su Ran’s curiosity further before explaining, "Only by incorporating fresh magical beast blood can it stimulate the bloodline potential, but the higher the rank of the pet, the lower the chances of evolution, remember that."

Magical beast blood?

For others, that might be a stringent condition; after all, magical beasts are unattainable beings and getting their blood is almost impossible!

But it’s different for me, having a magical beast pet like the Darknight Thunder Dragon, I could draw its blood in minutes, which means this chance for evolution is practically a freebie!
