The Double Drop Buff Surviving The Endless Ocean novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255

A large, white seashell drifted over, with the melancholy merman prince sitting on it.

After just one day apart, the prince looked even more gloomy. He even seemed a bit irritable.

Leeanne immediately waved. “Hey, Elvis, how’s it going? We meet again!”

Elvis looked up at Leeanne, who was all smiles, and gave her a slight nod, looking as aloof as ever.

Leeanne strummed the Crescent Harp and said a bit sheepishly, “Elvis, I got this harp, but I don’t know how to play it. Could you show me how?”

When the merman prince caught sight of the harp, his eyes lit up with excitement and longing.

He hesitated for a second, then reached out with his pale hands. “Sure, let me give it a try.”

Leeanne’s raft was pulled up right next to the big seashell. She passed the harp over with both hands, looking a little regretful. “It’s such a beautiful instrument, but I can’t play it at all. Feels like such a waste.”

The merman prince took the harp, running his hands over it as if it were a priceless gem. His eyes lit up with surprise and joy, and he murmured, “It’s the Crescent Harp!”

Little Blue swooped back, flapped its wings, and shot Leeanne a sideways look. “That’s right! Isn’t it a pity to let her have it?”

The merman prince glanced up at Little Blue.

Little Blue was breathtaking, its feathers a brilliant gradient of blue, and its five tail feathers swayed gently, making it look absolutely stunning.

Whenever Little Blue kept quiet, its beauty could charm anyone.

For once, the merman prince smiled at Little Blue.

Leeanne was speechless.

‘Alright, I get it. In the prince’s eyes, Little Blue is stunning,‘ she thought.

She couldn’t believe that Little Blue had won the merman prince’s favor.

The prince bowed his head, his pretty hands gently plucking the strings, and a series of sweet, bell–like notes rang out.

With someone else at the strings, the Crescent Harp’s music became even more enchanting, leaving Leeanne utterly mesmerized by the sound.

The merman prince played “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” the very same tune Leeanne had just fumbled through.

In just a minute, Leeanne was completely spellbound, lost in the music.

Little Blue also nodded enthusiastically. “Not bad, not bad at all! You play way better than she does.”

Little Blue turned to Leeanne with a look of disdain. “Beautiful things should go to those who deserve them, like a harp for a true musician, not someone who can’t play. Listen to him. He makes it sound amazing.“

Leeanne rolled her eyes. “What kind of drama have you been binge–watching lately?”

But honestly, Little Blue was totally playing wingman this time. It jumped in at just the right moment.

Watching the merman prince linger over the harp, reluctant to let go, then hand it back with obvious regret, Leeanne waved her hand. “Elvis, thanks for letting me hear such beautiful music. Why don’t you keep the Crescent Harp? It’s yours.”

You’re giving it to me?” The merman prince’s eyes sparkled with happiness, but he looked a little puzzled.

‘Yep!” Lecanne nodded. “I got the Crescent Harp by accident. I don’t really know how to play, so I can only play it casually. It’s wasted on me, but you’ll make it truly shine.”

The merman prince held the harp, looking a bit unsure. “But this instrument is really precious…”

Leeanne grinned. “That’s why I want to give it to my friend, meaning you!”

The merman prince hesitated. “Friend?”

Leeanne nodded. “Yeah, I felt like we just clicked right away. I’ve always wanted to give you something, and since you like this harp, it’s perfect to give it to you.”

The merman prince repeated, still puzzled. “A gift?”

Leeanne explained patiently, “That’s right, it’s perfectly normal for friends to exchange gifts.”

erman prince glanced at Leeanne, fell silent for a moment, then picked up the harp again. “Alright, let me give you hing in return!”

ayed a song for her.

his piece of music was exquisitely melodious, much like a tranquil morning when a sudden breeze stirred, a drizzle began to fall, and then, after the rain cleared, the air was filled with the cheerful chirping of birds.

Leeanne got enchanted by the music, and even Snowy and Fluffy froze, mesmerized.

Maeve was also stunned.

When the song ended, Leeanne came back to herself. A system notification chimed in her mind. [The merman prince has given you a gift, “Misty Morning.” Constitution +1, Strength +1, Agility +1.]

Leeanne was surprised. ‘Wow, this gift is awesome! It actually boosts my stats!‘ she thought.

Chapter 253

Good thing Leeanne kept her distance. Otherwise, there was no way she could’ve avoided getting splattered.

Leeanne checked their info. [Tier 3 Mutated Octopus.]

Tier 3 was pretty high for sea creatures. After all, she could only take on one mutated sea creature at that level by herself

now.

So, Leeanne decided to watch the drama unfold.

Two octopuses fought fiercely and finally sank.

Leeanne dove in after them, but made sure to stay well back, just in case.

Down on the ocean floor, the two octopuses were still fighting and cursing each other out.

“Give me back my damn treasure map!”

“Like hell I will! I’ve already thrown it away. If you want it so bad, go find it yourself.”

“It’s still on you, you slimy jerk! Ugh!”

‘Man, do octopuses fight so fiercely, too?‘ Leeanne watched from a distance, totally dumbfounded as the two octopuses wrestled and tangled for what felt like ages, until they were both so wiped out they just collapsed like a pile of sludge.

They just sprawled out, not moving an inch.

Leeanne whipped out her Harpoon Launcher and, with two quick shots, took out both octopuses.

‘Classic case of watching the drama and cashing in,‘ she thought, grinning to herself.

After Leeanne broke down the bodies, one of the octopuses dropped a treasure chest.

[Opened the treasure chest. You’ve acquired a damaged treasure map.]

Leeanne got a strange blueprint. It had been crumpled into a ball, smelled like rotten mud, and was incomplete.

Only about three–quarters of the blueprint remained, and the writing on it was blurred.

Leeanne thought she’d better dry it out back home first. After all, it reeked way too much right now.

She stashed the blueprint and headed back to shore. Not far away, she spotted a tall beauty dressed all in red, striding right into Luminara Hall.

‘No way, is that Luminara back already?‘ Leeanne thought, her heart skipping a beat.

She quickly hid by the water’s edge, ready to dive in and make a run for it underwater if Luminara blew up.

With everything set, she waited, jittery and on edge.
