Chapter 2504: Chapter 1901: Frustrating Quest (Double-Length) (Part 2)

"Alright, stop with the sweet talk. Remember, if you dare to break my little sister’s heart, I will be the first to make you pay!"

As Fine Rain spoke, there was an inexplicable hint of anger in her voice, which she herself didn’t even notice. Especially when she saw the young couple showing off their love, it irritated her even more. She simply decided not to dwell on it and changed the subject directly, "Little Brother Su, do you have a Demon of Communication here that connects to the underworld?"

"The Demon of Communication, Yin Si? What do you need it for?"

Su Ran was taken aback and instinctively replied, "It’s right in the Heaven and Earth Bank, what’s up?"

"Lead the way, time to do a task!"

Fine Rain glanced at her task panel and explained, "The task has changed, and I need to find this NPC to proceed to the next step."

"Sister Ting, if you want to find it, you better be ready to get fleeced."

Su Ran looked at Fine Rain with a peculiar expression, "This guy is a pure swindler. Money greases the wheels, but no money and you can stay out of the way, that’s just how it is."

"No worries, I’m not short of gold coins."

"It’s not gold coins it wants; it’s Underworld Coins."

"Underworld Coins?"

Fine Rain was taken aback, "I really don’t have those. Give me some."

"Big Sis, that’s not how you ask for money. Do you think Little Brother Su is your ATM or something?"

Little White couldn’t stand it any longer and chided angrily.

"We’re all family. What’s wrong with asking him for some Underworld Coins? Little Sis, do you want me to test Little Brother Su?"

Fine Rain showed her white tiger teeth, "If you want Little Sis to be your girlfriend, you have to pass my test first!"

"Please, these Underworld Coins are to show my respect to you, just spare me." Su Ran quickly pulled out a handful of Underworld Coins and handed them to Fine Rain.

"Little Brother Su, when did I become old? Be clear, or I won’t let you off!"

Fine Rain squinted her eyes, emitting a dangerous gleam, with an aggressive aura.

Oh no.

Su Ran realized he had misspoken. He quickly closed his mouth and cast a pleading glance at Little White, signaling her to mediate quickly.

"Big Sis, that’s enough, huh? If you keep bullying Little Ran, I’ll log off right now and yank off your gaming helmet!"

Little White raised her chubby fist in a demonstration, glaring at Fine Rain fiercely.

"Alright, alright, Sister Wuqing is right here, aren’t you worried about being the laugh of the day~!"

The buttercup-faced youth laughed and smoothed things over, taking the lead in walking ahead, "Sister Ting, come on, I’ll take you to the Heaven and Earth Bank."

"Hmph, I’ll let you off for now!"

Fine Rain said no more and quickly followed, the tense atmosphere melted away, and Su Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, you don’t need to mind me. I haven’t had enough entertainment yet..."

Xue Wuqing muttered regretfully to herself as an observer. Watching the four of them, she discovered an incredible secret. It seemed both women had a fancy for Overturning Water. She initially thought she would see a love triangle, but it turned the page so quickly, it left her a bit disappointed.

...

Heaven and Earth Bank.

A coffin lay openly in the middle of the hall, and an aura of death shrouded the atmosphere.

"Demon of Communication, Senior?"

Fine Rain, interacting with the swindler Yin Si for the first time, acted particularly ladylike, as if she were a completely different person.

"Senior Demon of Communication doesn’t seem to be here. Little Brother Su, do you know where he went?"

"Far away yet close at hand,"

Su Ran pointed to the coffin ahead, "Lord Yin Si is sleeping in the coffin. Just go over and wake him up, don’t worry about disturbing him. Having business brought to its door is exactly what it wants."

When it came to knowing the swindler Yin Si, no one claimed the top spot more than Su Ran.

"Well... alright then."

Fine Rain gathered her courage and walked toward the coffin. Despite her strong-willed image, fearless of heaven and earth, dealing with a coffin alone was still a bit daunting for her.

However, her personality wouldn’t let her ask for help. Gathering her courage, she approached the coffin, gently knocked on it, and said in a soft voice, "Senior Demon of Communication, are you there?"

"Creak."

The coffin lid opened, and Yin Si’s skull emerged. Upon seeing Fine Rain’s unfamiliar face, it looked a bit surprised and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you here for currency exchange? Need gold coins or Underworld Coins? I can exchange Ghost Coins too. As long as the money’s right, everything’s negotiable."

What?

Since when could it exchange Ghost Coins?

Su Ran was slightly taken aback. This swindler truly is the Demon of Communication between worlds, immediately jumping into business with the Ghost Clan now that they were gaining power.

If conditions allowed, he might just venture into the real estate business on the God-Demon Continent. He believed the swindler had that kind of courage.

"Senior, I’m not here for exchanges. I’m here for a task."

"What task? Tell me about it."

Yin Si was very curious about the task. Not many tasks involved finding it. In all these years, it was the first time encountering it.

"It’s like this."

Fine Rain glanced at the system task interface and, seeing another change, recited carefully, "This is a running task, a missing person notice. Whoever you need to find, just let me know and I’ll bring them to you."

What kind of task is this?

Su Ran was slightly dumbfounded. Going to such great lengths, only to end up with a running task at the God of Wealth Mountain? Unbelievable!

He really didn’t know how Sister Ting could utter it so normally, whereas if it were him, he might just lose it!

By observing this task, Su Ran realized clearly enough that there was no possibility of finding clues about his father through it. Alas, rampant expectations dashed, it seemed the so-called clues could only be sought out by himself.

"Missing person notice?"

Unexpectedly to Su Ran, upon hearing this task, the swindler Yin Si shot up, sending the coffin lid flying, with a burning gaze fixed on Su Ran, "This day, I finally waited for it to come!"

Oh my?

Why look at me?

Su Ran felt a chill down his spine under the gaze of the swindler Yin Si. The task had nothing to do with him, yet why was it staring at him?

Could it be...

Did this swindler have some kind of unique hobby?

Su Ran shivered with a strong urge to flee.

"Overturning Water, this NPC seems to be focusing on you. You might want to go talk to it; you might get a special task,"

Seeing Su Ran with no reaction, the buttercup-faced youth whispered a reminder, "It’s a golden opportunity; if you miss it, it’s gone for good!"

Su Ran really wanted to tell the buttercup-faced youth, you don’t understand swindlers.

Trying to get a task from it without paying a certain price, how can that work? Just like Sister Ting’s running task, although it seems simple enough, there’s likely a corresponding price to pay, trust me and see!

"Human warrior, I need you to help me find a humanoid with an undead appearance. This task is quite challenging, but I hope you won’t let me down."

The swindler Yin Si’s gaze never left Su Ran, "The task reward is 1000 gold coins, and if completed within three days, the reward doubles!"

What?

A humanoid with an undead appearance?

Upon hearing this task, everyone present turned their gaze to focus on Su Ran.

This task is difficult?

What a joke, it’s practically a freebie!

And with hints marked!

It’s hard to even mess up!

Finally, they realized why the swindler Yin Si was staring directly at Su Ran, it was signaling Fine Rain the answer to the quest!

"Well..."

Having received such a straightforward finding task, Fine Rain hesitated.

"Senior Demon of Communication, this task surely has some difficulty. I will find a suitable candidate and return for the task handover."

After speaking, Fine Rain quickly left Heaven and Earth Bank, with Su Ran and others following suit until they found a relatively secluded spot to stay.

"Little Brother Su, I feel this NPC giving the task is just a pretense, and targeting you is real. It knows you’re the humanoid from the Undead Clan and purposefully issued me the task, nine out of ten times, it’s a conspiracy aimed at you!"

"Huh?"
