"Hmm?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Before Su Ran could attack the second stone pillar, the friend’s notification sounded again.

"Who is it this time?"

Su Ran was a bit puzzled. Big Blood Bull had already been blacklisted and hadn’t yet been removed, so it shouldn’t be him. Curiously, he opened the friend’s interface, and it turned out to be Little Sister’s message.

"Little Ran, playing games all night again? If you keep this up, your body won’t be able to handle it!"

Cream Little Sister started with a complaint, "Auntie isn’t keeping an eye on you, seriously!"

"Wan’er, it’s fine, I don’t stay up all night every day. This time I took on a mission and can’t really leave it."

Su Ran cheerfully replied, "How was your sleep at my place? Didn’t have nightmares, did you?"

"I did have a nightmare, dreamt about you!"

Cream Little Sister huffed, "Can’t you say something more pleasant? Seriously!"

"Hehe, I’m just worried about you. Hey, by the way, why are you in the game so early instead of chatting with my mom?"

"I came up to ask you to come offline and eat; Auntie has already made the meal and asked me to call you."

Cream Little Sister spoke in a warm tone, "Little Ran, is your mission difficult? Do you need my help?"

"It’s okay, I’ve taken on a hidden mission in Sky Demon Domain. I can handle it alone, it just takes a bit of time. Wan’er, you go ahead and eat, I’ll go offline once I reach a safe spot."

Su Ran looked at the Demon Blade Soldiers below, watching intently. If he logged off now, it would be a miserable end, not a single complete bone would be left.

"Alright, don’t take too long; the food will get cold. Oh, by the way, Big Blood Bull is asking you to take him off the blacklist; he has something to discuss with you. What’s up between you two, why’d you blacklist him?"

"Nothing much, we’re just messing around. Wan’er, go ahead and eat, tell my mom I’ll be offline shortly."

Su Ran felt a bit embarrassed; he couldn’t exactly tell Wan’er that Big Blood Bull mistakenly thought he liked his thick butt hammer. If word got out, he’d really have no face to show...

Seeing Big Blood Bull had business with him, Su Ran reluctantly took Big Blood Bull off the blacklist and sent him a message.

"Big bro, you finally got me out of there; I was suffocating!"

Big Blood Bull’s first sentence made Su Ran laugh right away.

"Blood Bull, if you dare bring up that topic again, we won’t even be friends!"

Su Ran said gruffly, "What’s the rush to talk to me, eyeing another Skill Book?"

"Big bro, I just have one last question, have you... changed your heart?"

"Changed your sister! If you have something to say, say it; if not, hang up!"

"No, no, there’s something, there’s something!"

Seeing that Su Ran hadn’t been kind to him, Big Blood Bull felt relieved and quickly replied, "The 350,000 gold coins I borrowed might be a total loss..."

"What do you mean?"

Su Ran sensed something was off, "This skill isn’t useful? Misread it?"

"It’s not the skill being useless, but I got scammed. The guy swapped another book with Fireball at the moment I was buying the Skill Book..."

Big Blood Bull became more indignant as he spoke, terribly frustrated.

"You mean you spent 350,000 gold coins on a Fireball book?"

Su Ran had a peculiar expression, "You really are something, making such a low-level mistake?"

"I didn’t notice; I didn’t think there’d be such despicable players. By the time I realized, it was too late, truly hateful!"

Big Blood Bull shouted angrily, "Don’t let me see him, I’ll kill him every time!"

"What’s the use of saying that now? Even if you kill him a hundred times, how does that help? The money’s gone; accept it."

Speaking of this, Su Ran seemed to have thought of something, uncertainly asked, "What do you mean by total loss just now? You want me to bear the loss?"

"No way! I borrowed your money, and I have to pay it back even if I got scammed! But... big bro, can you give me a few days? I’m a bit tight on cash right now; I’ll pay you back as soon as I have the money!"

Big Blood Bull felt awkward putting it into words, being a big man borrowing money and unable to repay, truly humiliating.

"What’s the ID of that person? I’ll check him out."

Su Ran felt Big Blood Bull was really pitiful; he borrowed money, and before feeling its warmth, he was scammed away, truly unfortunate.

"It’s no use; such people are shameless and sly, confronting them would be worse; if he falsely accuses you, I’d feel even guiltier."

Big Blood Bull was just venting to Su Ran and didn’t intend for him to intervene. Brother Overturning Water had such a high reputation, it wasn’t worth offending such a lowlife.

"Don’t worry, I have a way to make him spit out the money obediently, maybe even more."

Su Ran said confidently, glancing at the Demon Blade Soldiers below, feeling a bit sorry for them. These Demon Blade Soldiers were diligently guarding beneath him, constantly swinging their long blades, while he was endlessly chatting, completely out of sync with the atmosphere; indeed a guilty conscience...

No choice; since these Demon Blade Soldiers didn’t have long-range skills, leaving them hanging here was only normal.

"Big bro, let’s just drop it; I don’t want you involved too. I’ll just accept the loss, consider it a lesson learned."

Big Blood Bull didn’t want to share the stall owner’s information with Su Ran, borrowing his money and having him suffer too, how could that be!
