119: Chapter 119: Acquiring a Human Race Identity 119: Chapter 119: Acquiring a Human Race Identity Su Ran browsed around the bookstore, these skill books were unaffordably pricey and none of them contained bone skills that he could use.

Bored with disappointment, Su Ran took a step out of the bookstore, heading to the nearby registry office.

“Oh, what a rare guest!” The registry officer was an older man, clad in a dark blue official uniform, his face radiant with delight, he laughed and said to the black-robed player in front of him, “Young master, what brings you here today?”

Su Ran took a look at the deserted office and deliberately complimented, “Out of my respect for your position as a parental figure for our Human Race, I wanted to pay a visit.

It’s something that we, the younger generation, ought to do.”

“Young master, you’re speaking too highly of me.

I merely manage the census; where is this talk of parental figure coming from?” Though the player’s voice was peculiarly husky, the flattery pleased the registry officer greatly.

He grinned from ear to ear and his goatee bristled with joy.

“We owe our physical bodies to our parents, and our names give us a place in this world.

They allow us to savor the myriad flavors of life, to observe the ebb and flow of the seasons.” Su Ran paused and continued, “As a respected registry manager, you must be prepared to act as a parent!

In our eyes, you are indeed our ‘parental figure.’ You have diligently contributed to the thriving success of our Human Race your entire life, offering so much effort and sweat.

Ancestor’s great virtue, please allow me to pay my respects!”

Su Ran bowed solemnly to him.

“Enough, enough!” The registry officer’s face turned beet red with embarrassment.

Overwhelmed by the praise, he quickly helped Su Ran up and viewed him more favorably.

“Young master, what can I help you with on this occasion?” The registry officer asked cheerfully.

It was the first time he felt his insignificant position in the Imperial City was so important.

“My dearest registry officer, I came specifically to see how you are!

You have been working night and day, so I wanted to offer a small token of my appreciation in the hopes of alleviating some of your fatigue.” Su Ran casually took out an item of silver equipment and sincerely passed it on to the registry officer.

“My dear nephew, that’s too kind of you!” The registry officer happily pocketed the silver equipment and expressed his satisfaction, “What a teachable young man, indeed!”

At the officer’s quick adoption of familial terms, Su Ran rejoiced internally.

This man truly was wily and cunning!

but it seemed his tactics were working.

“Sir, I didn’t bring many gifts as my visit was quite hurried, I hope you won’t mind.”

“Ignorance bears no guilt, ignorance bears no guilt!”

“However…” Su Ran paused, his tone heavy, and hesitated.

“My dear nephew, speak your mind!

I won’t hold it against you!” The registry officer’s fondness for Su Ran grew even more, and the way he looked at Su Ran was akin to the way one looks at their son.

“Sir, I have only recently arrived in the Imperial City and haven’t had a chance to register in the census and get my name marked.” Su Ran’s voice was filled with a hint of embarrassment; he was genuinely feeling a bit sheepish.

“What?” The registry officer looked shocked, he hurriedly pulled Su Ran aside, “Lower your voice, being unregistered in the Imperial City can get you arrested and thrown into the dungeon by the royal guards!”

Su Ran pretended to look panic-stricken, “What should I do, sir?”

“Don’t panic, let me figure something out.” The registry officer had finally met a player to his liking, and considering the silver equipment he’d just pocketed, he was determined to keep him safe.

“What a bother, my authority isn’t enough!” The registry officer wore a worried expression, he was in a real hot pickle!

Seeing the officer’s predicament, Su Ran finally relaxed and handed over the Emperor’s Order from his inventory.

“Hmm, nephew, how did you come across a treasure like this?!” Eyeing the Emperor’s Order, the official was initially surprised but then extremely pleased, “This is simply wonderful, how wonderful!”

“Nephew, follow me quickly.

Forget the regular procedure, I’m going to register you immediately!” The registry officer wouldn’t waste another moment, fearing complications might arise, and led Su Ran to the registration desk.

“Ding!

Congratulations player Skeleton on obtaining Human Race Player identity (Counterfeit)!”

What?

Human Race Player identity (Counterfeit)?!

What does this mean?

Su Ran quickly realized that if he took off his Illusion Demon cloak his true form would be revealed.

How could a skeleton be a member of the Human Race?

Well, he thought about it and it did kind of make sense.

“Ding!

Skeleton, please create a name for your Human Race Player identity!”

“Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!”

“Ding!

Congratulations to Skeleton on successfully naming his Human Race Player identity!”

“Sir, I am deeply grateful.

Here’s another small gift as a token of my respect.

I hope you do not mind.” Su Ran once again took out a silver equipment and subtly handed it to the registry officer.

The registry officer’s face crinkled with joy as he chuckled and accepted the equipment.

Pretending to be modest, he said, “I can’t accept this, I am merely doing my job!”

After exchanging pleasantries with the registry officer, Su Ran said his goodbyes and exited.

Whew~

Su Ran checked his character settings, and sure enough, there was now a friends’ list.

Ho Ho, I can now add friends!

Elated, Su Ran went to the marketplace, hoping to find some top-notch items.

However, after only a few steps, he noticed the players he had encountered in the sewers making a ruckus in front of a house.

Su Ran observed that there were still many players watching the commotion.

Overcome by curiosity, he managed to blend into the crowd to see what was happening.

After a short while, Su Ran managed to piece together the situation.

Turns out, after leaving the sewers, these three players managed to find the beggar father and son in the Human Race Imperial City.

They had just settled on the surface when the players took out the Dark Breath to complete the task.

But the old beggar waved it off, saying the task was cancelled.

This was unacceptable!

Mo Qian and his companions had spent half a month in the Dark Swamp trying to complete the task, how could it be cancelled just like that?

How could they accept it?!

You Qian started to ply her feminine charms, stepping forward and coyly tugging at the old beggar’s hand, shaking it incessantly.

When had the old beggar ever been in such a situation?

The touch of her soft, delicate, and cold hands against his rough, dirty ones was something new entirely.

He instinctually rubbed his big, coarse hand against hers, uncontrollably spraying blood from his nostrils, which nearly cost him his life.

“Cough, cough,” the old beggar hastily withdrew his hand, plugging his nostrils with both hands as he sputtered, “I didn’t cancel the task on purpose, it has already been completed, so obviously you can’t either.

Also, young lady, stay away from me as I am avoiding the stench of fish recently!”

“Old man!

Calling you our senior is out of respect, but canceling a task we’ve been working on for over half a month?

I’m going to report you!” Mo Qian was quick-tempered and no amount of persuasion worked, so he resorted to cursing.

Hong Guang quickly pulled on Mo Qian’s clothes from the side but to no avail.

Mo Qian was the stubborn sort; come hell or high water, he was going to assert himself.

The old beggar’s face fell momentarily, but immediately regained his scruffy demeanor, waving his hands and saying, “Young man, do as you please, lodge a complaint or report me, it’s all the same to me.

If we are not in agreement, then I take my leave.”
