Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1730 - 1500 Dad’s Gift (Two-in-One)

"Are you kidding? You can’t compare yourself to those experts. Stop dreaming!"

"Don’t change the subject. Just tell me about this hunting competition. If newcomers can join, I want to try my luck. Maybe I can even get a piece of silver equipment."

The player speaking had hope in their eyes, filled with anticipation for this event.

"Silver equipment? Your standards aren’t high at all. At your level, silver equipment doesn’t cost more than a few hundred bucks at the marketplace, so why bother? No offense, but if you go, you’d just be cannon fodder, like a clown for people to laugh at!"

"Hey, what are you saying? Can’t new players join events? Then what’s the point of playing?"

"Wow, didn’t expect your aspirations to be so high. If you’re not afraid of embarrassment, let me tell you, in three days, the Human Emperor will personally organize a hunt in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. You’ll be assigned to the forest’s periphery based on your level. Honestly, getting a participation prize would be good enough for you."

"Bah, that’s not necessarily true. I’ll definitely bring back a prize to make you jealous!"

As the two were talking, other players gathered around, their faces full of curiosity.

"Hey, is it true that the Human Emperor is leading the team himself?"

"Ha, how could it be fake? The tournament was hugely successful, and the old guy’s so happy that he’s hosting a hunting event himself. I heard he’ll personally award the champion! It’s a great chance to get in his good books; getting a command decree would be amazing!"

"Wow, really! That command decree lets you control NPC armies. Stand behind them, and who would dare mess with you?"

With this, the group of newbie players felt their blood boil with excitement, their faces turning red with anticipation, as if they wished the champion was them.

Hearing this, Su Ran silently returned to the second space, then teleported back to his territory, Skeleton Village.

Three days later, Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts!

What luck! I was worried about how to lure him out of the palace, and now this pops up, can’t be more perfect!

Su Ran knew this hunting competition was a godsend, providing a chance to meet the Human Emperor – an opportunity not to be missed!

"The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts is a great place. Human Emperor, just wait, sooner or later I’ll treat you to a grand beast feast!"

Su Ran recalled the scene of the Beast Clan’s siege, thinking how even the White Tiger Sacred Beast was alarmed, while he, the instigator, got away with it. This tactic of framing others is quite effective – time for some chaos and rescue!

And the one to be rescued is the Human Emperor!

"Swoosh, swoosh."

The vine, now transformed into a mushroom tree, had extended two tendrils towards Su Ran. Seeing its master deep in thought, it didn’t disturb him and waited patiently.

"Huh?"

Su Ran came back to his senses and noticed the tendrils swaying in front of him, as if dancing, showing off their flexibility. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Wow, when did you learn this trick?"

Seeing this display, Su Ran felt a bit surprised and came up with a money-making idea. Once there are more players in the territory, he’ll make the vine part of performance shows, having it do a strip dance – oops, I mean hula – charging one gold coin per performance, 20 gold coins monthly, 150 for the year. Problem solved!

If the vine knew Su Ran’s thoughts, it would whip him without mercy...

The tendrils, seeing Su Ran back to normal, immediately stopped their swaying, brushing up close beside him, their green leaves rustling rhythmically.

Su Ran understood perfectly that the thing was hungry again. After devouring the Primordial Immortal Branch, its size had increased quite a bit, so hunger was only natural.

Without delay, Su Ran fed it a drop of Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid. This rare essence, though precious, was definitely worth using on the Sky-reaching Vine. In the long run, it was the best choice.

Upon absorbing the spirit liquid, the tendrils instantly retracted, focusing on digestion, leaving Su Ran standing there.

"Gurgle."

Su Ran’s stomach growled, but fortunately, no one was around. Otherwise, it would’ve been a bit embarrassing.

"Logging off, time to eat!"

At this moment, with no worries on his mind and his territory utterly safe, he had no reservations about logging off.

Iron is solid, rice is sustaining; miss a meal, and you’ll feel starved. Even the Sky-reaching Vine knows to eat – starving to play games makes you less than even a plant...

Reality.

After exiting the game cabin, Su Ran unexpectedly found that Xiao Hei wasn’t there. Just as he felt puzzled, he heard chatting from outside.

"This is..."

Su Ran listened intently for a moment and was delighted to realize it was his mom’s voice!

Hahaha, Mom’s back!

He’s heard this voice for over ten years; there’s no mistake!

Does this mean...

Dad’s back too?

Thinking this, Su Ran’s heart pounded twice intensely. He couldn’t contain his excitement any longer, hurriedly stepping out of the nutrition cabin, drinking a bottle of prepared Nutrient Solution, before heading towards the bedroom door.

The closer he got to the door, the more he could hear his mom’s cheerful voice, easily guessing she was in a good mood. It seemed, just as he hoped, Dad was home!
