399: Chapter 398: The Master’s Loyalty 399: Chapter 398: The Master’s Loyalty “Agreed!”

Su Ran said without hesitation, looking at the old beggar with an even more amiable gaze.

“Ding!

Congratulations, Skeleton Lord, for gaining the loyalty of Grandmaster Lu Yue, special bonus of 2W experience points!”

“Ding!

Congratulations, Skeleton Lord, for gaining the loyalty of Grandmaster Lu Yue, special bonus of a high-level construction blueprint!”

“Ding!

Due to Grandmaster Lu Yue being part of Skeleton Village, the Architectural Grandmaster’s special effect is activated, all buildings in the territory’s tenacity +30%, can construct high-level buildings beyond its class.”

“Ding!

Due to the player Skeleton accepting the deserted Lu Yue, Human Race’s reputation -10000!”

Reducing Human Race’s reputation by ten thousand?

Who are you trying to scare?

I’m already acknowledged as the Human Race’s sworn enemy!

Holy cow, getting a Grandmaster also added hidden attributes!

I’ve struck it rich!

[Sworn Enemy of the Human Race](Permanent)

When fighting against the Human Race, attack bonus is 10%, personal defense decreased by 20%.

Note: Players who obtain this title, will be full of hatred by the Human Race, relentless until death!

What’s the point of reputation if they won’t stop until I’m dead?

It’s like farting after removing one’s pants, unnecessary!

“Eh, sir, how is it that you’ve changed clothes?”

Su Ran was surprised to find that the ragged clothes on the old beggar had somehow transformed at some point, dyed a deep black, with the worn-out man appearing much more energetic.

“Please forgive me, Lord, this is the price of pledging allegiance to the Demon World’s camp.”

The old beggar gave a self-mocking smile and shook his head, saying no more.

“Come, sir, let’s head back to the village first!”

Su Ran knew that renouncing humanity was no small price to pay, but as the old beggar didn’t mention it, he didn’t bring it up either.

He changed the topic and led the beggar across his territory towards Skeleton Village.

Along the way, Su Ran removed his Illusion Demon robe, revealing his skeletal form, turning to the old beggar with a smile, “This appearance is way more comfortable, it’s breezy and refreshing.”

“I truly envy you Undead, for being able to do as you please without restraint.

Pity we humans still have these fleshly husks to be dragged down by, living in a world of deception.”

The old beggar spoke with deep emotion, especially given his profession.

Having gotten used to people’s deceptive and ugly faces, he had the most authority to speak on this situation.

“Sir, don’t mind all that.

Now that you’ve become a member of Skeleton Village, let me give you a rundown of our territory’s members.

The house in the front, that’s where Yin Si, who the Undead call the Demon of Communication, the Black Market Skeleton Merchant, lives.

He’s temperamental, and may have a bias against humans like you, so be careful in the future.”

Su Ran pointed at the house in the middle as he spoke, signaling the old beggar to take it seriously.

“And the Guardian Beast in this altar beneath us is the Bone Dragon King, transformed from the ancient Beast King, a five-clawed golden dragon.

The furthest house is inhabited by our village beauty, the Ghost King Drought Fiend.”

“My, my…

the Demon of Communication Yin Si, the Five-clawed golden Dragon King, and the Ghost King Drought Fiend, Lord, you have hidden dragons and crouching tigers in your territory!”

The old beggar exclaimed in shock: “Undead, Ghost Clan, Beast Clan, and now me, a human.

Our Skeleton Village truly has become a hodgepodge!”

Su Ran laughed, then said to the old beggar: “Sir, from now on, we will need you to carry the burden.

The prosperity of Skeleton Village rests in your hands, we strive to develop our territory into the second Imperial City!”

“Great!

My old bones are at your disposal, Master.

Give me any orders anytime you want!”

The old beggar was visibly stirred by Su Ran’s words, overall looking very invigorated.

“In the government office, the work is presided over by the housekeeper, Liu.

He usually manages the village on my behalf.

If anything happens in Skeleton Village, you can find him!

I won’t introduce the other shop owners one by one.

Oh, right!

There’s also a little skeleton in our territory, Liu’s grandson, Liu Shitou.

He’s a bit wild, I haven’t seen him for a while.

If the little fellow causes any trouble by mistake, please bear with him a bit.”

“Understood.”

The old beggar nodded repeatedly, memorizing everything diligently.

“Oh right, I just got two territory construction blueprints, take a look, see if they can be used.”

Su Ran pulled out two blueprints from his waist, skimmed them over, and his eyes immediately widened.

[Heaven and Earth Bank] (Special Blueprint)

Upon using, a special building can be acquired, which allows for trade and conversion between Yin and Yang currency.

Note: Can only be used in territory after reaching level 5 in construction skills.

The blueprint will disappear after use.

[Advanced Territory Construction Scroll] (Special Blueprint)

Upon using, the territory can be upgraded from level 9 to 10.

Note: The blueprint can only be used in a territory by a Grandmaster of construction skills.

The blueprint will disappear after use.

For the love of gravy!

It was then that Su Ran realized just how impressive the blueprints in his hand were!

The first blueprint, Heaven and Earth Bank, need not be spoken off, but the second special blueprint left Su Ran speechless!

This blueprint could only be used by a Grandmaster!

That’s right, this was indeed the advanced blueprint that the Human Emperor had previously obtained!

It was because of this blueprint that the Human Emperor boasted about upgrading the rank of the Human Race’s Imperial City, spending a vast amount of money to hire all talents across the realm, yet no one was capable of using this Advance Territory Construction Scroll!

The catastrophe that the old beggar suffered from was because of this special blueprint!

Er, sorry, it should be the blessing from the catastrophe!

Could it be that this blueprint has landed in my hand?

Su Ran found it hard to believe.

However, with this special blueprint in hand, he knew for sure that one day, the scale of his territory’s construction would surpass that of the Human Race’s Imperial City!

“Lord, Lord?”

Seeing Su Ran standing there in a daze, as if he’d been struck by lightning, the old beggar didn’t know what was happening.

Upon hearing him, Su Ran snapped back to reality, and excitedly said, “Sir, look at what this is!”

Su Ran handed the two special blueprints to the old beggar, hoping to get him excited as well.

“Ah, it’s the construction blueprint for the Heaven and Earth Bank, not too shabby.

Although it’s worthless among the Human Race, here in our territory, it could be of some use.”

The old beggar offered a truthful opinion, his emotions not much affected.

But after seeing the second blueprint, his breathing became heavy almost instantly.

He stared intently at the seemingly ordinary piece of paper, just like Su Ran, dumbfounded in his shoes.

“This, this is the Advanced Territory Construction blueprint from the Human Emperor!”

Excitement filled the old beggar’s eyes as he said shakily, “Lord, who would’ve thought, this treasure that the Human Emperor highly values would fall into your hands, it’s truly a twist of fate!

This blueprint, is worth no less than a million gold!

Congratulations, Lord!”

“This blueprint was dropped by the Human Emperor’s shadow clone.

But why, is it just a territory upgrade blueprint, why would it cost so much?”

Su Ran was stunned.

He had not expected the old beggar to give such a high evaluation of this special blueprint and was somewhat disbelieving.

A blueprint worth a million cash, is it that mystifying?

For a moment, he was lost in confusion.
