Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1403 - 1294: Death? Opportunity? (Combined)

Tongxin Street, coffee shop.

A young man in a suit sat near the window, scanning the crowd outside as if searching for something.

When he spotted a pretty girl, his eyes lit up, but unfortunately, she didn’t stop at the coffee shop, leaving him disappointed.

Soon after, another stylish girl walked by. His eyes sparkled again, and he even excitedly stood up, but alas, she didn’t stop either, and he watched helplessly as she disappeared from view, his spirit deflating once more.

"Sigh, there are thousands of beauties in the world, yet none seem to be mine. Life is so unfair..."

The young man shook his head in dismay, but before he could finish his lament, a spiritual voice sounded from behind him.

"Hello, is anyone sitting opposite you?"

"No one, no... Miss, please be reserved, I’m waiting for someone."

The young man was pleased, thinking his handsome appearance had finally attracted a girl to strike up a conversation! But when he turned around, he saw that she was quite unkempt, with messy hair. But that wasn’t the worst part: her face was full of pockmarks that were incredibly distracting; he hurriedly changed his words to refuse and cursed inwardly, such a waste of a nice voice!

"But you just said it’s vacant? Then I’ll sit down first."

Clad in such attire was none other than Li Wan’er.

She had intended to dress up nicely but then thought better of it—if she wanted to test Meng Xiao’s true character, this approach might reveal more. Besides, if it really was "Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained," it would at least be fun to tease him.

But.

Since entering the shop, he had been leering out the window, repeatedly standing up, and muttering about the endless beauties, she couldn’t stand it anymore! She had planned to leave directly, but something about his slightly hoarse voice made her reluctant to give up without trying, leading to the scene that had just unfolded.

"How can you be so shameless? You said someone was here, so why are you still sitting here? Waiter, please ask her to leave!"

The young man felt an inexplicable rage brewing. Having such a woman around was a blow to his image! What if Wan’er came along and misunderstood the situation, wouldn’t that mess up everything?

"Since this is the first time I’ve seen such a handsome guy, please let me take a good look for a bit longer!"

Li Wan’er spoke in a tone so cringeworthy that even she found it disgusting, hoping he wouldn’t recognize her as the person he had just spoken with on the phone.

"Waiter, never mind, you can go back."

Meng Xiao felt flattered by the compliment and took a good look at the woman. She seemed fine in terms of body and facial features, except for her sloppy attire and the pockmarks on her face, which were quite off-putting. No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than he dismissed it ruthlessly.

Damn, being single for too long made any woman look attractive, but such thoughts were dangerous!

"So... do you really think I’m handsome?"

"Yes, yes. Not only are you handsome, but your voice is also very attractive. The husky rasp is magnetic!"

"You think so too? Kindred spirit! You can sit here for a bit, but not too long. It might get tricky explaining it to my girlfriend when she arrives."

"Handsome, may I ask you a question? Do you play the online game ’Demon Gods’?"

Li Wan’er was overwhelmed by his vanity, feeling like she would puke if she stayed any longer. Resigned, she got straight to the point, intending to cut her losses and leave.

"Online games? Come on, how old do you think I am to still be playing games?"

Meng Xiao looked disdainful. "Brother, I graduated from a prestigious university and now work at a private company with a monthly salary of over 30,000. Do you think I have time for games? "Indulging in frivolities leads to downfall," you know?"

"Okay, I understand. Our paths do not align. Farewell."

Li Wan’er actually breathed a sigh of relief at this point. She had known Spilt Water wouldn’t be like this. Before leaving, she turned to Meng Xiao and said earnestly, "It’s a pity about your voice. Goodbye. I mean, never see you again."

"What?"

Meng Xiao was baffled, unable to grasp what this woman was up to with her mixture of admiration and detachment, her rapid shift of attitude unnerved him.

Li Wan’er left without a backward glance, and the blind date was over before it had even begun.

About an hour later, Li Wan’er’s phone rang. She initially didn’t want to answer, but thinking about having to face her grandfather, she hesitated before picking up.

"Hello, Wan’er, why haven’t you arrived yet? Is something wrong?"

Meng Xiao’s voice was as husky as ever, but to Li Wan’er, it now sounded particularly grating, making her furrow her brows.

"Mr. Meng, better call me Miss Li. We’re not acquainted. By the way, I’ve met you just now, and we are not compatible. That’s it."

"Met? Damn, was that ugly girl you? Are you kidding me?"

Meng Xiao shouted furiously, but his only answer was the beeping of the phone.

...

"Strange, why is this map only half complete?"

Su Ran took out the newly acquired map and was surprised to find that it was a fragment, missing many details, "Crap, spent 1000 points just for this? What a rip-off!"
