Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1622 - 1435: Dividing the Spoils

"Gather your teammates, I need to stabilize their souls first."

The big mud clump shook its head, flames burning in its eye sockets. Judging by the flickering of the flames, it still seemed somewhat ethereal, indicating that it had yet to adapt to this heart of mud.

"So it’s a multiplayer mission. Thank you, senior, for also considering my teammates. I’ll call them over right now, but please don’t go into hibernation."

Upon hearing this, Su Ran was overjoyed. He had always felt that completing this five-person instance mission alone, leaving his companions aside, was like being given special treatment, which made him somewhat embarrassed. Returning to normal felt so much better.

"Hurry back."

...

Underground glacier.

The four members of Creamy Youth were trying to lure the Mudfish ashore. After losing their bait, the efficiency of attracting monsters greatly decreased. Since the beginning, they had killed less than thirty Mudfish, far from the hundred required by the big mud clump. Fortunately, there was no hostage to rescue, which relieved them of some mental burden.

"Little Yue, do you think Brother Overturning Water will encounter danger by himself in the Dark Gate?"

Gu Yue, not in the mood for leveling up, expressed her concern, "We’ve never been to the Dark Gate before, and we don’t know what traps there might be..."

"Little Yue, shouldn’t I be the one saying that? Is there—some romantic interest here? Come on, tell me, do you have a crush on Brother Overturning Water?"

Youtong shone bright-eyed like a mouse that had stolen some sesame oil, and the fire of gossip began to burn.

"Nonsense, Little Tong, you just love stirring up trouble!"

Gu Yue retorted in a mild chastisement, her face reddening as she hurriedly warned, "If you dare say that again, I’ll deal with you!"

"Alright, stop it, with Overturning Water’s skills, the risk factor should be low. Even if this is an elite instance, he won’t be troubled. After all, he has so many pets with him; there’s nothing to worry about."

Creamy Youth was aware that whether it was the Dark Gate space or that special mission, she had never experienced them and couldn’t help at all. It all depended on Overturning Water himself, so her worry was pointless.

"Huh? Look, Brother Overturning Water left a message in the team chat!"

Ghost Eye shouted excitedly, "He wants us to hurry back to the castle, that golden mud clump is issuing a multiplayer mission!"

"Haha, I told you Brother Overturning Water would be fine. He’s like an indestructible cockroach; there’s no use in worrying. Let’s go and see what surprise he brought us!"

Youtong laughed happily, no longer bothering with the Mudfish in front of her and instead kicked it back into the sea.

"Let’s go, back to the castle!"

...

The glacier wasn’t too far from the Mud Castle, and it didn’t take long for Su Ran to see those four familiar figures.

"Overturning Water, have you completed the task?"

Creamy Youth locked her gaze on Su Ran, asking with concern, "Was it dangerous inside that Dark Gate?"

"Yeah, Brother Overturning Water, if a mission can trap you for two hours, it must not have been easy. Tell us about your experience quick!"

Youtong, who was always in a rush, didn’t wait for Su Ran to speak and blurted out herself.

"Let’s talk while we walk; that mud clump is about to hibernate."

Leading the way, Su Ran began to recount his experience in the Dark Gate space, occasionally causing gasps of shock, especially when he was trapped in the light screen and unable to summon his pets, which made them very anxious.

"It’s a good thing we didn’t produce that Dark Gate key before; I wouldn’t dare to go in."

Gu Yue’s face turned a bit pale; if it had been her in that situation, she wouldn’t have had enough lives to spare...

"So it turns out this place is a trap."

Creamy Idol sighed and continued, "It’s lucky you took the quest. If it had been us, we couldn’t even get out, let alone break through that light screen. We’d just have to wait for death inside."

"Brother Overturning Water, what treasures did you get after killing the BOSS? Let’s feast our eyes. This is the first kill; it shouldn’t be anything shabby, right?"

Big Smoker had been coveting the treasures dropped by the Mud Giant, and the dark-gold treasure chest was especially tantalizing to him.

"That BOSS didn’t really drop anything good, but the treasure chest was quite a haul."

Su Ran unreservedly shared the spoils of his victory against the Mud Giant, including the dark-gold treasure chest, with everyone.

"That token is necessary to exit the dungeon. You have to hand it to that golden mud to successfully complete the dungeon and get the corresponding treasure chest reward. I didn’t expect the quest’s progression to change and with it the method for obtaining the token."

Big Smoker was familiar with the token, but his interest was not in the token itself. He asked curiously, "Is that Skill Book for a special ability? Is the Pet Egg a dark-gold pet?"

"Yeah, Brother Overturning Water, take it out and let’s see. Is it my Snow Rat that got reclaimed by the system into a Pet Egg?"

Youtong hadn’t forgotten about her Snow Rat. As soon as she heard about pets, she became incredibly anxious.

"If you’re not from the same family, you don’t enter the same door. You two are a real pair; judging from your current behavior, I’d say there’s a 90% similarity!"

Creamy Idol chuckled and patted Youtong’s head, signaling her to rein it in a bit, as she had utterly squandered the demureness expected of a girl.

"Ouch! Creamy sis, don’t keep hitting me on the head. What if you make me stupid?"

Youtong rubbed her head, her eyes filled with complaint.

"It’s fine if you get a bit dumb, Big Smoker will take care of you."

Creamy Idol pursed her lips and smiled, then walked up to Su Ran and said seriously, "Overturning Water, don’t listen to their nonsense. This is what you earned from the dungeon yourself; there’s no need to share it. Just keep it for yourself."

"Look at you, trying to make it sound like we are strangers here! The Skill Book isn’t for me; take it. As for the Pet Egg, I don’t lack pets. You guys can figure out who gets it."

Su Ran stuffed both the Skill Book and the Pet Egg into Creamy Idol’s arms without any hesitation.

"Wow, the well-fed finally understands the struggles of the hungry! Good job, Brother Overturning Water!"

Big Smoker gawked at the Pet Egg, which had been obtained from the dark-gold chest. Its grade was definitely not low!

Little Yue was all set to get a dark-gold pet, and if he could get his hands on a dark-gold Pet Egg, how great would that be...

"This is an Elemental Resistance Skill Book, and only female players can use it. Little Yue, as a shield warrior, this book is perfect for you."

Creamy Idol immediately made the allocation and handed the Skill Book to Youtong.

As for the Pet Egg, which hadn’t been identified yet, Creamy Idol was somewhat torn. After a bit of contemplation, she threw out the dilemma: "You all know the value of this Pet Egg. In our team, Little Yue, Little Yue, and Big Smoker don’t have pets yet. Since Little Yue already has a reserve Snow Rat, let’s exclude her. Little Yue and Big Smoker, you two discuss who gets this Pet Egg."

"I don’t want it!"

Without even thinking, Gu Yue simply stated, "This is an underground space, so nine out of ten, that Pet Egg is a Mudman. It’s too disgusting. Just give it to Big Smoker."

"Haha, then I won’t be polite, thanks a lot!"

Big Smoker immediately took the Pet Egg in his hands, his face brimming with excitement.
