Chapter 1920: Chapter 1597: Strange Skill (Two-in-One) (Part 2)

Only…

The only thing giving Su Ran a headache is this double damage. His low health and defense make it really uncertain whether he can withstand this wave of damage.

Whatever, the benefits of this skill outweigh the drawbacks. It’d be such a waste to miss it, grasp it first then worry!

“Brother Overturning Water, look at you acting all innocent after getting the good stuff! That skill is bad, and yet you learned it so quickly. I should despise you!”

Banana looked at Su Ran enviously, “Why can’t I get such a special control skill? Oh, heaven envies the talented!”

“Tch, stop with the sour grapes. If there’s a skill suitable for you, I’ll save it for you.”

Su Ran’s attention shifted to the Dark Gold Treasure Chest. Luckily, it didn’t require a key to open, saving him a lot of trouble. Taking advantage of his good luck, he rubbed his palms together, then opened the Dark Gold Treasure Chest directly.

“Swish!”

A dark golden light burst forth, almost blinding them. As the light faded, the treasures inside the chest appeared before them.

A dark gold folding fan, a golden puppet, a slender bone, five high-grade crafting materials, over 300 coins, and various potions.

“What a bad hand.”

With a Dark Gold Treasure Chest, only one piece of Dark Gold equipment came out, not even a single piece of Gold equipment. This left Su Ran feeling quite disappointed. No wonder Blind Granny used it as a task reward; now it seems his expectations were a bit too high.

However, this bone should be a good treasure. Perhaps it can be smelted into a couple of bone skills, and that would be nice.

“Wow, so many gold coins inside the chest!”

Qing Qi focused on different things than Su Ran. She cared about those shiny gold coins, piled into a thick stack, very attention-grabbing. As for that piece of Dark Gold equipment, she didn’t even glance at it.

“Brother Overturning Water, what’s that golden puppet for? It’s not edible, is it?”

Banana was curious about the peculiar-looking puppet, having never seen anything like it in the game after playing for so long!

“I guess not really; this thing is pretty hard. If you try to bite it, your teeth might break.”

Su Ran picked up the puppet and weighed it in his hand, about two pounds, likely made of metal, very sturdy.

“Overturning, this fan-like weapon hasn’t shown up as a single Dark Gold Level item, you having it should be unique. If you sell it, it should fetch a good price.”

Xue Wuqing pondered for a moment, then said, “I suggest having the fan identified before selling it. Even if it’s the most garbage, it won’t be much worse than unidentified. And if it’s an excellent one, you’ll definitely make a fortune!”

“Brother Overturning Water, if it’s level 50 Dark Gold equipment, it could be worth a whole building!”

Banana even compared it to a building to emphasize the fan’s value.

“Alright, let’s identify it now!”

Su Ran seized the moment, taking out the Truth Holy Water he received from the Elven Queen’s task, killing the Rock Monster to get this holy water with identification effects. He had over two hundred bottles, hardly ever using them, but now was the right time.

“Huh? Overturning, what’s in this bottle? Show me the attributes.”

Xue Wuqing had never seen this special tool, feeling quite curious.

“Truth Holy Water, used for identifying equipment.”

Su Ran casually replied, sending over the screenshot of the Truth Holy Water’s attributes.

[Truth Holy Water] (Special)

Can be used to identify equipment below the Dark Gold Rank, with a certain chance to lift item seals, except special items.

Note: All illusions in the world, only truth remains.

“Wow, such an identification method, really the first time I’ve seen!”

Banana was surprised at the attributes of Truth Holy Water, but before he finished looking, he let out a small gasp, “Brother Overturning Water, your holy water can’t identify Dark Gold Level equipment? Did you take the wrong one?”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Su Ran was taken aback, then remembered Truth Holy Water can only identify Gold-level equipment. It had been so long since he used it, he only remembered the identification attribute, forgetting the rest.

But it didn’t matter; this gold puppet could be used instead, finding an excuse for himself.

“Can’t identify the fan, then I’ll identify this puppet!”

Su Ran put away the fan and picked up the puppet, pouring the Truth Holy Water on it.

To his surprise, the holy water failed, though it wasn’t unexpected. After all, identifying special items has a certain failure rate, needing several attempts.

However.

Su Ran used a total of thirteen bottles, unable to identify the puppet until everyone’s patience was almost exhausted. Finally, the Truth Holy Water took effect, the puppet’s golden glow receded into its body, the material softened, turning somewhat clay-like.

“Wow, it took fourteen bottles of holy water; this puppet is tough to identify!”

Banana couldn’t help but complain, his tone filled with impatience.

“You don’t understand, the harder it is to identify, the higher its value. This puppet’s worth should not be less than this Dark Gold fan!”

Xue Wuqing urged Su Ran, “Overturning Water, quickly post the attributes, let Banana take a look!”

“Alright.”

Su Ran wasted no time, posting a screenshot of the puppet’s attributes.

[Gene Skeleton] (Special)

After use, enhances bone gene, Defense +100, Magic Resistance +30.

“Wow, it’s a treasure that boosts attributes!”

“No wonder it took fourteen bottles of holy water, I’m impressed!”

Banana sincerely envied Su Ran’s fortune. Though the treasures from the Dark Gold Chest were few, each one was a gem. Even this unassuming puppet has such strong attributes, Brother Overturning Water’s strength will level up!

“If only it boosted magic attack attributes, that would be even better.”

Su Ran lamented, but the defensive attributes were very nice, compensating for his low defense weakness. Without needing reminders, he activated the puppet immediately.

“Swish!”

The puppet transformed into a streamer, entered through Su Ran’s mouth, fortifying his skeletal frame throughout. He clearly felt his bone structure had grown much sturdier; the feeling of growing stronger was truly delightful!

100 defense points received, fantastic!

“Overturning, what’s this bone for? It’s not some dead person’s remnants, is it?”

Xue Wuqing pointed to the bone stuck in the pile of coins, a hint of fear in her eyes, unable to imagine how the bone’s original owner had perished. The Dark Gold Chest looked more like an urn to her now, making her somewhat tense.

“Wu Qing, sister, this is a game, not a crime scene! Just view the bone as an item!”

Su Ran didn’t see any problem, considering the bone as a tool for carrying bone skills, a treasure he cherished, not suspecting it at all.

Then, Su Ran gathered all the coins, crafting materials, and potions into his bag. As for the bone, he didn’t study it closely, just pocketed it as well.

Refining the bone in front of two girls was indeed somewhat inappropriate. The next step was to check the evolved skills of the little zombie!

He remembered clearly, after the little zombie consumed the Ghost Shadow Bloodstone, it had gained a special skill. The system notification even appeared, so it shouldn’t be wrong. If it’s a powerful output skill, it would compensate for its attack weakness and stand on its own!

“Brother Overturning Water, why did you put the bone away? Quickly use the Truth Holy Water to identify it; maybe it’s part of a special quest!”

Banana urged, eager for Su Ran to identify the bone on the spot, satisfying his intense curiosity.

“With two girls present, better not identify the bone; what if they get scared.”

“No need to worry about us, just identify it. You’re right, it’s just a game, not real life. I was overthinking just now.”

Xue Wuqing understood Su Ran was mindful of her feelings and urged him repeatedly, “Overturning, if you don’t uncover the bone’s secrets, Banana is bound to have a sleepless night.”

“?”

Qing Qi felt puzzled; it’s just a bone, was it really necessary to pay it so much attention? She took out five or six bones of different sizes, saying nonchalantly, “Overturning, these are from tasks I’ve done. You might as well identify them all.”

“Ah?!”
