Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2508 - 1903: Fake? (Double-Length)

"This isn’t the place to talk, follow me."

Su Ran walked ahead, leading the drizzle to the altar, and then explained, "Sister Ting, have you heard of the Ancient Battlegrounds?"

"Never heard of it, is this the quest you received?"

The drizzle’s eyes lit up, "Involving ancient terrain, it must be a high-level map, possibly even more advanced than the Divine Domain! Little Brother Su, I want to go to the Ancient Battlegrounds with you, is that okay?"

"I’d love to take you, but unfortunately, I have no clues for this quest, not even a general location. I have to explore slowly. Once I find the Ancient Battlegrounds, we’ll head to this new map together."

Even the drizzle didn’t know about the existence of the Ancient Battlegrounds, which made Su Ran feel somewhat disappointed. He didn’t dwell on the topic and curiously asked, "Sister Ting, where did the two of them go?"

"Isn’t it because of you!"

The drizzle rolled her eyes at Su Ran, "You already have a girlfriend, and Wan’er is still excessively concerned about you. It’s a bit inappropriate, Little Brother Su. When the decision is delayed, chaos ensues!"

"This..."

Su Ran seemed a bit uncomfortable discussing this topic in front of his sister-in-law. Isn’t this asking for trouble?

Recognizing the pit the drizzle had dug, Su Ran wisely chose not to say more. He opened the friends interface and found that Yu Jing and Wan’er weren’t online, so he decided to log off as well.

His main purpose for logging off was to report this good news to his mom. Although his dad had advised him, it didn’t shake his resolve to tell his mom about it.

He wanted his mom to let go of her prejudices towards his dad and not worry anymore. His dad was forced, hence spent all day immersed in the game, and she needed to learn to be understanding.

After logging off, Su Ran didn’t see Yu Jing or Wan’er, not even Little Black. This struck him as odd, but now wasn’t the time to worry about it. He quickly went to the kitchen, saw his mom washing vegetables, humming songs from last century, evidently in a good mood.

"Mom, have you seen Yu Jing and Wan’er?"

"No, aren’t they both in the bedroom playing games?"

Su’s mother sensed something was off, put down what she was doing, and stood up, "Little Ran, why did you log off so early? Something unpleasant happened?"

"No way!"

Su Ran quickly dismissed his mom’s assumption, "Your son couldn’t possibly be that kind of person, so don’t overthink it."

"Then why are you logging off so early? This isn’t like you at all."

Knowing her son best, Little Ran had been so addicted to the game since he woke up, not to mention after being full and happy, affirming no issue, Su’s mother couldn’t believe it, her eyes filled with doubt.

"Mom, I have some good news for you. I saw dad in the game." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Su Ran stopped beating around the bush and told his mom all about his experiences in the game, extremely excited.

"You mean... your dad is an NPC in the game? Concerning artificial intelligence?"

Su’s mother wasn’t as excited as Su Ran expected, and asked back, "He told you that?"

"Yes, exactly. As long as I obtain the Gods and Demons’ order, I can successfully redeem dad, and then the three of us can reunite!"

Su Ran didn’t notice his mom’s abnormality, exhilarated to the extreme.

"Little Ran, that’s not your dad."

"What? That’s impossible!"

Su Ran was shocked by his mom’s calm words, incredulous, "He even knows about the phone and the Guanyin Pendant, how could it not be him?"

"He’s indeed not your dad. As for the reason, don’t ask now, it’s not the time for you to know."

Su’s mother said confidently, her expression unchanged.

"Uh..."

Su Ran was completely dumbfounded. Just when he’d confirmed his dad’s identity, his mom turned everything upside down. This was too outrageous.

"Mom, I’ve already recovered, why can’t I know? If there’s any condition, let me know, I’ll do my best to meet your requirements, okay?"

Repeated hopes had turned into disappointments, making Su Ran feel a bit collapsed. It had reached this point, and he was still left in the dark, why?

Why!!!

"Little Ran, it’s for your good. This matter is crucial; telling you would only harm you."

Su’s mother sighed, "I don’t want to be apart from you, Little Ran, so don’t ask anymore."

"Alright."

Hearing this, Su Ran kept quiet.

If the price was to be apart from his mom, then he’d rather not have the answer.

"Little Ran, remember not to consider that NPC as your dad. Don’t provoke this NPC; it will have a huge impact on your dad."

Su’s mother solemnly reminded him, even her tone was extremely serious.

"Then... the so-called two conditions, is this fake too?"

How could Su Ran doubt his mom’s words? Since his dad’s identity was fake, the quest to find the Gods and Demons’ order could be abandoned as well.

"You must obtain the Gods and Demons’ order, never give it away!"

Su’s mother lowered her voice, "Once you get the Gods and Demons’ order, I’ll tell you everything."

"Mom, you said it, don’t go back on it!"

Su Ran’s eyes rekindled with determination; for his dad, he would risk everything to get the Gods and Demons’ order!

"When you have the ability to get the Gods and Demons’ order, you’ll have the ability to bring your dad back, how could I conceal it from you?"

Su’s mother looked at Su Ran with reassurance, "Little Ran, your recovery is something I never dared dream of. This game involved your dad but ended up achieving you..."

"Involved?"

Su Ran caught onto a crucial piece of information, "Mom, you mean, what the NPC said isn’t entirely wrong, dad indeed signed a servitude contract with the game company?"

"Now isn’t the time for you to know. Stop considering it. Go play the game; priorities matter."

Su’s mother was unwilling to discuss the topic further, sat back at the stool, organizing the vegetables underfoot.

Playing games is a priority...

If he didn’t play games, it would truly be a guilt...

"ding-dong~!"

Just as Su Ran was about to return to the bedroom, the doorbell rang again.

"Yu Jing and Wan’er are back."

Su Ran had this thought, quickly walked to the door, opened it, and was stunned.

Standing outside the door was Elder Yin, whom he had met once.

How could it be him?!

Su Ran was extremely shocked. He hadn’t expected this old man to come looking for him, and so quickly. Arriving just after waking up was too incredible!

"We meet again."

Elder Yin smiled slightly at Su Ran, "So, aren’t you going to invite me in to sit down?"
