Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1454 - 1327: Wan’er’s Initiative (Two in One)_2
Chapter 1454: Chapter 1327: Wan’er’s Initiative (Two in One)_2
As for Dai Xuan and his minions who were locked up in the Divine Might Death Cell, they tried every conceivable method, including suicide, to no avail in order to escape the cell. How could they be content with being imprisoned for a hundred days? With no alternative, they had to break the bank to ward off disaster. Dai Xuan spent a huge amount of gold coins to bail out his followers.
Even someone with Dai Xuan’s financial means felt heartache. With that money, he could’ve done so many other things, but he had to make a contribution to the system. It was like throwing meat buns to a dog, never to be seen again...
After this harsh lesson, even if he was given a hundred more guts, Dai Xuan wouldn’t dare to oppose the red-haired zombie again. He wouldn’t dare to set foot in Divine Domain Main City for a short while, even if that meant tolerating Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained. Dai Xuan tallied up this grudge against Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained and swore to get his revenge someday!
...
Su Ran was unaware of these resentments. At the moment, he was busy searching for the coordinates marked on the Corpse Hiding Map. To his surprise, near the coordinates was a cluster of clouds, and after circling the area several times, he found no sign of the marked location.
If it weren’t for the Corpse Hiding Map’s indicator, Su Ran would have doubted the legitimacy of the coordinates.
As he stood there clueless, a friend notification alerted him.
Upon opening it, it was from Creamy Boy.
"Overturning Water, what are you busy with?"
"I’m still in Celestial Realm stuck on a quest. Wan’er, if you’re not busy, join me in finding some coordinates. It’s so weird; I can’t find them at all!"
Su Ran had grown accustomed to calling Wan’er "sister," which distracts her from suspecting the identity of Overturning Water Can’t Be Regained. He paused briefly before continuing to transmit his message, "I am near coordinates 8259:7296 in Celestial Realm. Let me know if you’re coming, I’ll wait for you."
"You can’t even find the coordinates, how stupid can you be? Wait for me; I’ll be right there!"
After sending the message, Creamy Boy turned to her teammates with an apologetic smile and explained, "The idiot Overturning Water is lost; I’m going to help him find his way. You guys enjoy your free time for now."
"Oh my, Creamy Sister, is calling Overturning Water Big Brother to join a raid that difficult?"
Youtong spoke with a pout and a tone of dissatisfaction, saying, "This time it’s even worse, not only did you not call him here, but our beautiful team leader is involved too. Sigh, I don’t even know what to say anymore!"
"Youtong, no one would think you’re mute if you don’t talk!"
Creamy Boy felt her face heating up, but concealed by the white gauze, it wasn’t visible. She decisively promised the team, "Don’t worry, once I finish with Overturning Water’s matter, I will drag him over here. We won’t let him leave until the raid is done!"
"Wow, listen to this, ’drag him over’—are you going hand in hand? C’mon, tell us when your relationship progressed to this stage; such a leap forward!"
Great Smoker seized the rare opportunity to tease Creamy Boy, chuckling as he awaited her embarrassment.
Youtong and Gu Yue laughed out loud on the spot.
"Great Smoker! Would it kill you to keep your mouth shut?"
Creamy Boy was utterly speechless with these two, no wonder they ended up together—it was fated!
"I’m off."
Creamy Boy beat a hasty retreat, teleporting away from the scene. If she lingered any longer, she feared all sorts of gossip would arise!
...
Half an hour passed, and Su Ran was still stubbornly searching for the elusive coordinates, even resorting to using a hoe, but to no avail.
This ordinary cloud had given Su Ran quite the challenge. If not for the great value of the Corpse Hiding Map, he would have long given up on it. Yet, he persisted.
"Overturning Water, why are you standing there like a fool? Haven’t found it yet?"
Creamy Boy arrived at his side after dismounting the Firebird, finding his predicament rather amusing as she teased, "Is it that hard to find a coordinate? Look at your troubled face—it’s so embarrassing."
Troubled face?
Bro, I’m wearing a mask. How can you make that out?
Besides, I have no eyebrows...
"There’s nothing embarrassing about it, I’ve given you the coordinates. You try to find it; if you can, you’re impressive!"
Helplessly shaking his head, Su Ran continued to examine the clouds, trying to figure out the mystery hidden within.
"Hey, by the way, Overturning Water, I actually wanted to ask if you’re free to run a dungeon together," said the cream skinned young player as she searched for coordinates, determined to drag Su Ran back with her.
Every time she thought about the word ’drag’, her heart would thump furiously, and her gaze would occasionally steal towards Su Ran’s hands, with thoughts known only to her.
"Running a dungeon? The key thing is I really don’t have time!" Su Ran wished he could split his time in half to use, with a mountain of tasks waiting for him - Corpse Hiding Map, Repair Fluid, Trial Space, hatching the Sun God Bird, heading to Elf Forest, and much more. He felt his head swelling.
If he were to add another dungeon run, how would his limited energy suffice?
"I don’t care; my mission this time is to bring you back. It’s so boring to play the game alone all the time!" Cream skinned young player shot Su Ran a glare as she complained, "Only you’re busy; I’m managing a guild with tens of thousands of members and still find time for dungeons. You don’t worry about guild affairs at all. I have no idea what keeps you so busy every day!"
"I am busy, though." Su Ran knew he was at fault and quickly changed the subject, "I did a story quest in Celestial Realm earlier and got a Skill Book and a weapon that should both suit you well. Take them." freewёbnoνel.com
As he spoke, he took out the Blood Curse Enhancement Skill Book and the Bloodfire Fan and handed them to the cream skinned young player.
"You know the unique nature of my class. I can’t learn... General Skills? Blood Curse Enhancement!" The cream skinned young player became visibly agitated upon seeing the properties of the Skill Book and then turned her attention to the oddly-shaped fan. Not expecting much, she was shocked enough to widen her eyes and exclaimed, "Bloodfire Fan, a dark gold weapon!"
"Cough cough, it’s just a dark gold weapon; don’t act so surprised as if I’ve done something to you. This kind of misunderstanding isn’t good." Su Ran was startled by Wan’er’s sister shouting, not expecting the usually composed her to be this flustered. It seemed these two treasures gave her quite the shock, even highlighting the value of the items.
"Overturning Water, do you, do you know how much these two treasures could be worth?" The cream skinned young player’s voice trembled with excitement or perhaps nerves.
"Not sure, but I know you need them more." Su Ran was momentarily taken aback. When he acquired the Skill Book and Bloodfire Fan, he had never considered this aspect. On second thought, there were only a handful of players with Blood Curse, and only Wan’er’s sister could realize the value of the skill. Even if he used it, it would be a waste!
"Overturning Water, why are you so nice to me?" The cream skinned young player seemed to have firmed up certain conviction, her eyes blazing as she mustered the courage to ask. In her nervousness, she didn’t even realize she was wringing her clothes.
"You silly woman, are you moved just by a couple of virtual items?" Su Ran felt something was amiss and forced a smile, "Be careful not to help count the money after being sold!"
"If the one selling is you, then I’m willing." The cream skinned young player took a deep breath, stepped forward towards Su Ran, and faced him, looking directly into his eyes, "Overturning Water, I want to ask you a question."
"You should save your questions for someone else. I have to find the coordinates; I don’t have time to answer you." Su Ran’s gaze flickered, avoiding eye contact with the cream skinned young player, and quickly turned away, hoping to put some distance between them.
"Do you like me?" The cream skinned young player looked at Su Ran’s retreating figure, frustrated that he was avoiding her. She blurted out the question that had been repeated over and over in her heart, and once she did, she felt a great weight lift from her shoulders.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Stop with the wild guesses and focus on finding those coordinates. That’s the important thing!" Su Ran left those words behind and flew upward without looking back, using the task of finding coordinates to distance himself from the cream skinned young player, easing the awkwardness between them.
At that moment, Su Ran was filled with regret; knowing it would end up like this, he would never have given those items to Wan’er’s sister. Now he had dug himself into a hole!
"Coward!" The cream skinned young player grumbled petulantly. She had been so forthcoming, yet he still didn’t dare to face her. Really!
