Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1360 - 1259: Forgot About the Serious Matter

"You were defeated by me, why are you angry if not for being unable to accept your own shortcomings?"

Su Ran was rather speechless. He glanced at the Sky-reaching Vine that was still digesting the Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, and the King Snake that had already slithered back to the Demon-sealing Platform, with the territory having returned to its usual tranquility. Only then did he, with relief, step onto the teleportation circle leading to the second level of the Sewers.

The Celestial Realm was located in the northeast of the Imperial City, and setting out from Imperial City was just perfect.

"Overturning Water, this isn’t a misunderstanding... Ah, never mind, as long as I’m not angry now, that’s fine. Hurry up, I... we are waiting for you."

The cream-colored young’er dropped this cryptic sentence without any further explanation and then stopped the transmission.

"Women truly are creatures that one cannot measure by common standards, even their words are so unclear."

Su Ran glanced at the message, couldn’t be bothered to reply, and headed straight from the second level of the Sewers towards the exit. There was still some distance to go to reach the Celestial Realm, and hurrying on his way was something he most hated.

"Ding! Dear player Skull, there’s a call for you in reality."

Before Su Ran even managed to leave the first level of the Sewers, the system prompt had already sounded.

"Oh crap, I forgot about dinner!"

Su Ran forcefully remembered that after he woke up, his mom had gone to prepare the meal, and yet here he was, playing the game until now!

Uh, now that’s going to be a problem...

Su Ran once again jumped back to the second level of space and chose to log off.

"Click."

The gaming pod opened, and Su Ran sat up from within, only to see his mother standing with her hands on her hips, her stern and fierce expression not at all pleasant.

"So, mom, is the dinner reheated?"

Su Ran clambered up in a rush, smiling awkwardly yet sincerely, trying to make amends for his mistake.

"What reheated? It’s completely cold now!"

Mother Su, her heart trembling with anger, would have kicked him already if not for Su Ran’s poor health, which was the only reason she had held back until now!

Spare the rod and spoil the child; indulgence was not an option!

"Cough cough, isn’t it because something special happened? Mom, calm down, I assure you, it absolutely won’t happen again next time!"

Su Ran knew he was in the wrong; even if his mom scolded him, he would accept it. Who told him to get carried away with the game?

He had brought this upon himself; he deserved it!

However, given the chance to choose again, he would still rush into the game without hesitation. The price of losing his territory was just too great!

"Little Ran, do you have to anger me to death to be happy?"

Mother Su took several deep breaths, managing to suppress her anger finally, her voice trembling as she said, "Do you have any idea how weak your body is? Fainting for a whole day without eating, still obsessed with that game, if I don’t call you, were you going to play until dawn again? I think you’re possessed!"

"Mom, it’s not as serious as you think. Just now, there was an unexpected situation, and I had an extremely important task that had to be completed. That’s why I rushed into the game in such a hurry; otherwise, the loss would have been tremendous!"

Su Ran quickly walked over to soothe his mother’s emotions. The best person in the world to him was his mom; he couldn’t bear to break her heart.

Little Black, very understanding, walked to the side and lay down on the floor, watching the drama unfold.

"No matter how great the loss, is it more important than your health? What would I do if something happened to you?"

Mother Su’s voice grew even shakier, apparently quite disappointed with Su Ran’s actions this time.

"Mom, aren’t I fine right now? Don’t speak such ominous words, your son aims to live a long and healthy life!"

Su Ran didn’t dare to stay any longer and swiftly slipped out the door, afraid that his mom might hit him again—how embarrassing that would be!

"Ah."

Sighing deeply, Su Ran’s mother gazed at the gaming capsule that resembled a coffin, her expression complex, lost in unknown thoughts.

"It’s all my negligence, Mom’s worried sick about me!"

His mother’s disappointed look lingered in Su Ran’s mind, unable to be shaken off. He knew he had gone too far this time. How long had his mom endured before calling him out of the game? When he thought about it, just the territory battle alone had taken nearly two hours, not to mention the time spent voice-chatting. Wouldn’t he be angry too? frёewebnoѵēl.com

He walked into the bathroom with a heavy heart and washed his hands, the familiar current emerging again. As he washed his face, the electricity flowed through his fingertips, dancing across his face with a tingling sensation—a comfort surpassing any massage.

But Su Ran wasn’t in the mood to enjoy it at the moment. He hastily wiped his face and went to the dining table, touching the food with his hand to test its temperature—hot.

He wondered how many times his mother had reheated the meal during this time. His throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he had lost his voice.

"Little Ran, I’m not scolding you, but next month I’ll be traveling far away. How can I leave with peace of mind if you keep this up? I believe playing games can cure illnesses, but you can’t let it ruin your body like this."

Su Ran’s mother approached the dining table and took a seat, letting out another sigh, "When your dad comes home, I hope he sees a healthy you. Don’t push yourself too hard, okay?"

"Mom, what year is this? Still going with these tear-jerking scenes—totally outdated!"

Su Ran managed a forced smile, still chewing on a steamed bun, and mumbled unclearly, "Don’t worry, it was just an accident this time. Someone tried to pull a dirty trick on me in the game, but I handled them!"

"What?"

His mother was immediately alarmed and asked repeatedly, "Who wanted to harm you? What did they do to you?"

"Uh, I’m eating now, we can talk about it later, okay."

He couldn’t let slip any information—absolutely not!

Who knows if his mom was a scout sent by Wan’er, he thinks just after telling her everything would be immediately known!

Right now, Su Ran’s mouth was full of food, making it impossible for him to speak. To keep the secret safe, he was all in.

"Look at you, eating like you’re starving. Slow down, no one’s fighting you for it!"

Su Ran’s mother was both exasperated and heartbroken. She quickly brought over a bowl of water, signaling for Su Ran to take a drink so he wouldn’t choke.

However.

Now, whenever Su Ran saw water, he had a conditioned reflex; he wouldn’t even touch urine with his hands. How could he dare to touch this wet cup in front of his mom? What if the electricity erupted—how would he explain that to her?

"Just leave it there, Mom. I’ll drink when I’m thirsty. I’m an adult—I won’t choke..."

He hadn’t finished the word "choke" when Su Ran’s face suddenly changed.

"Water... water!"

He hadn’t finished chewing his mouthful of food and accidentally swallowed, only to find it stuck in his throat, unable to go down or come up, causing considerable discomfort. Instinctively, he reached for the water glass.

"Whoosh."

Su Ran flung his arm, shaking out his sleeve, then grabbed the glass through his sleeve and poured the water into his mouth.

"Gulp, gulp."

The food went down smoothly, and no current appeared, allowing Su Ran to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"You rascal, I told you to drink water first, and you didn’t listen. You deserve to choke!"

Seeing that Su Ran was alright, his mother finally relaxed, but when she saw how Su Ran held his cup, surprise and confusion appeared in her eyes, "Your right hand... is it okay?"
