Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2470 - 1884: Struggle for Military Command (Double Length) (Part 2)
"Damn, a million glory points?"
The Crane That Doesn’t Dance couldn’t help but curse. He wasn’t blinded by the prospect of immediate gains. This was no different from a loan; it might feel great temporarily, but when it’s time to pay back, you’d regret it!
Exchange 3000 for a treasure worth a million. Who wouldn’t be suspicious? There’s no free lunch in the world. This is most likely a trap. Without knowing the reason, he’s not daring enough to take on a million in debt.
It’s easy to jump into a trap, but hard to climb out!
"Warrior, there’s no need for concerns. Consider it my support to you."
Ghost King Sabi was aware of the Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s worries and explained with a smile, "This Gathering Spirit Jade Pendant can replenish mana, allowing you to unleash Ghost Curse Fog indefinitely. As for the million glory points, there’s no rush to repay me, with no time limit. Now, are you reassured?"
"Unlimited skill use? The Gathering Spirit Jade Pendant restores mana without any restrictions?"
The Crane That Doesn’t Dance suddenly perked up. If it was as he imagined, this pendant was definitely worth a million glory points. If auctioned, it could fetch at least a few million!
"Of course. However, it has a user restriction. Only the Ghost Clan can use it. Any other race wearing this pendant will be cursed with Death. I hope you don’t do anything foolish."
Fine.
After hearing Sabi’s explanation, the Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s previous excitement vanished in an instant, feeling completely deflated.
With such a restriction, not to mention auctioning it, no one would even accept it as a gift...
Just like that, the value of the Gathering Spirit Jade Pendant plummeted. Claiming it’s worth a million glory points is being generous.
It has to be said, though, that this Gathering Spirit Jade Pendant is quite practical, saving him the hassle and considerable expense of buying magic potions. Besides, this is an interest-free loan with no time limit. If he doesn’t take up this offer, he’d be out of his mind!
Subsequently, the Crane That Doesn’t Dance accepted the Gathering Spirit Jade Pendant, bid farewell, and left the Ghost King Hall, heading to wreak havoc in the God-Demon Continent.
"Your Majesty, the God-Demon Continent is too vast. Letting him go alone, it would take decades to accomplish. Can you afford to wait that long?"
Shuxin naturally pointed out the most critical issue, which was the real crux of this mission.
"I’ve waited for hundreds of thousands of years. What’s a few more decades?"
Ghost King Sabi didn’t see it as a concern and returned to his throne with a swish of his sleeve.
"My Lord, I mean there’s no need for you to wait decades."
Shuxin naturally voiced her thoughts, "I have ten Ghost Fog Bombs, which can fulfill your needs in a short time."
"Ghost Fog Bombs?!"
Ghost King Sabi was visibly moved, staring intently into Shuxin’s eyes, "You have ten? Are you serious?"
"I wouldn’t dare deceive you, my lord."
For Sabi’s excited reaction, Shuxin wasn’t surprised. She was acutely aware of the Ghost Fog Bombs’ power. One bomb explosion could cover the entire Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, with the ability to spread autonomously, something that the Crane That Doesn’t Dance couldn’t compare to.
"Hahaha, excellent, truly excellent!"
Ghost King Sabi laughed heartily, "You two are indeed the lucky stars of the Ghost Clan. The Ghost Clan’s conquest of the God-Demon Continent is just on the horizon!"
"Warrior, head to every main city in the God-Demon Continent, release one bomb, and report back to me once the mission is complete. You shall be handsomely rewarded!"
Sabi’s gaze toward Shuxin softened significantly, even his tone changed a lot, showcasing stark realism.
"My lord, I’m naturally weak and worried I can’t handle such a heavy responsibility. Once I strengthen myself and am confident, I’ll assist you in this task. I ask for your understanding."
All of this was part of Shuxin’s plan. To make the Ghost King desperate, she had to keep it on edge!
"Are you threatening me, warrior?"
Ghost King Sabi’s expression darkened, his eyes issuing a dangerous glow.
"I wouldn’t dare. I only ask for you to treat me fairly, granting the same courtesy."
Shuxin did not overly make things difficult for Ghost King Sabi and openly shared her thoughts, "These ten Ghost Fog Bombs should qualify."
"How difficult could that be!"
Ghost King Sabi gave Shuxin a deep look before speaking, "The title of Grand Commander is yours, and your ten thousand ghost officers will all be promoted to Ghost Monsters! Now, are you satisfied?"
"Not enough!"
Shuxin stared directly at the Ghost King, her gaze unwavering, "I want a share in governing the Ghost Clan in the God-Demon Continent!"
"You’re a woman with great ambition, aren’t you?"
Sabi hadn’t expected this woman to be so greedy, saying coldly, "Do you have any more demands? Speak now!"
"I dare not have any more demands. This will suffice."
"..."
Sabi stared at Shuxin for a long time before finally saying, "As long as your achievements surpass his, what’s the harm in giving you military power!"
"It’s a deal. I’ll take my leave now."
After receiving the desired response, Shuxin didn’t linger and swiftly left, heading to her first destination, the Imperial City of the Human Race!
Watching the now-empty Ghost King Hall, Sabi wore a meaningful smile as he sat on his throne.
To have the entire God-Demon Continent engulfed in Ghost Curse Fog had been his lifelong wish. Only by doing so could all constraints be lifted, allowing him entry to the God-Demon Continent. He didn’t expect that these two who betrayed the Human Race would give him such hope. It was indeed ironic.
"The God-Demon Continent, it’s time to change its destiny!"
...
Human Race, Imperial City.
Shuxin had the ability to conceal her identity, and with a point-to-point teleportation scroll, she easily appeared within the safe zone.
"Hurry to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, that bastard Crane That Doesn’t Dance has appeared again!"
"We must snatch his first kill, there’s a bounty of fifty thousand gold! If you can catch him and throw him into the death dungeon, that’s a hundred thousand gold! Damn, it’s easier than winning the lottery!"
"Easier my ass, with nearly a million people after his head, you think you can get it? Stop daydreaming!"
"Damn it, can’t we even fantasize a bit? What’s it to you? Even if we can’t kill him, we can watch the chaos, right?"
"Come on, let’s go watch the drama!"
A group of players hurried past Shuxin, their discussions entering her ears.
"Nearly a million people after his head, Zhang Meng’s situation is pretty dire."
Shuxin felt a bit vindicated by Zhang Meng’s misfortune. However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on this; she needed to find a way to earn more glory points!
Because Ghost King Sabi had said only achievements surpassing those of the Crane That Doesn’t Dance could win her the final military authority, she didn’t want that bastard lording over her. Only by seizing the military power could she solve this problem!
The next step was to choose a location and detonate a Ghost Fog Bomb, enveloping the entire Imperial City in the Ghost Fog!
But there was a problem: the Ghost Fog Bomb wasn’t a hand-grenade but a time bomb, which couldn’t be detonated before the countdown ended. The difficulty was in this countdown.
Although the Ghost Fog Bomb was powerful, if defused during the countdown, it would be rendered useless. This was not a scenario she wished to see; only a safe location would suffice.
After surveying the surrounding area, she finally decided to place the Ghost Fog Bomb in the Imperial City’s sewers.
This place was rarely visited, making it perfect for underhanded deeds.
With this in mind, Shuxin no longer hesitated and descended into the sewers.
"Ugh..." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Faced with the filthy environment and the occasional stench from the sewers, Shuxin’s cleanliness obsession almost made her throw up.
However, for the Ghost Clan’s military power, she was ready to go all in, forcibly suppressing her inner revulsion and pushing forward with determination.
However.
Before she could go much further, she encountered several leveling-up parties, her sliver of hope instantly shattered.
"Damn, why are there people here?"
Seeing these novice players, Shuxin felt exceedingly annoyed. Just as she was about to leave, she thought of an ideal location—
The second level of the sewers!
