Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1304 - 1210: A Woman’s Heart-to-Heart (Combined)

"Brother Overturning Water, since you know this NPC, that makes things easier, having an acquaintance can really smooth things out, you must help me complete this quest, please~!"

Wu Liuyi clasped his hands together, his small expression oozing sincerity to the extreme.

Having an acquaintance to smooth things out?

Damn, don’t even remind me, or I’ll get angry! freewebnøvel.coɱ

Great White Shark, that double-crossing thing, I helped it so much and even let it join my territory. When did it ever mention this hidden quest?

Not even a whisper of it!

Su Ran’s face was filled with frustration, but wearing an ornamental mask, Wu Liuyi couldn’t see any abnormalities in him.

"Brother Overturning Water, you wouldn’t abandon me in my hour of need, right? Considering our relationship, though we’ve just met, it felt like years, could you really turn down my little request?"

Sensing Su Ran’s hesitation, Wu Liuyi pressed on while the iron was hot, persuading him further. At this point, Wu Liuyi was determined to get Su Ran involved in the quest. Knowing that NPC was the biggest advantage, at the very least, there was a decent chance of getting quest hints or even reducing the quest’s difficulty, it was all possible!

"So, are we still splitting the quest reward fifty-fifty?"

After a moment of silence, Su Ran blurted out this question and instantly felt it was somewhat improper, his face having trouble maintaining composure.

"What?"

Wu Liuyi was shocked at first but upon realizing what Su Ran had said, couldn’t hide his joy. Subconsciously swinging his axe, he said with utter certainty, "Of course it counts! Brother Overturning Water, with you involved, this quest will be like adding wings to a tiger! Plus, it’ll strengthen the bond between us, won’t it?"

"Hey, be careful with that axe, what if it falls and hits your foot—how bad would that be!"

Su Ran found Wu Liuyi was getting a bit carried away, so he couldn’t help but dampen his enthusiasm a bit, "You’re not a woman, why do I need to grow closer to you? Can we actually have kids or what?"

"Dude, stop with the crazy talk, I’m a straight-as-an-arrow guy! Changing my sexual orientation for a quest is just insane!"

Stung by Su Ran’s words, Wu Liuyi’s spirit trembled, "If there’s nothing else, give me your time tonight, pah, pah, pah, my bad, I mean join me on the quest. Let’s aim to conquer this quest tonight!"

"Alright then, let me scarf down some food. I’ll contact you in half an hour."

Su Ran wanted to figure out what Great White Shark was up to, daring to scheme behind his back within his territory’s scope. There must be a ghost when things seem abnormal, and although the likelihood was slim, if Great White Shark bore ill will, it would definitely be a ticking time bomb. If it went off, that would be trouble.

After all, Great White Shark’s loyalty wasn’t maxed out, and lately, it hadn’t received enough attention from him, hanging out in the swamp pool all the time, so such situations were not surprising.

He decided that when he found the time, he had to give Great White Shark some fatherly love, to let it feel the warmth of home, and first boost its loyalty!

"Brother Overturning Water, please don’t stand me up, I’m counting on you today, you hear?"

Wu Liuyi, fearing Su Ran’s change of mind, uneasily reminded him again, being able to lean on this large tree was more than he had expected.

"Beat it!"

...

After logging off, the first thing Su Ran did was to have some Nutrient Solution to refill his energy, and only then did he plan to eat. But before he could step out of his bedroom, his trouser leg was caught by Xiao Hei.

"Xiao Hei, cut it out, I’m so hungry I could eat a horse. If it’s something important, we can talk about it after I eat!"

"Meow!"

Xiao Hei shook its head and after tugging on Su Ran’s trouser leg, leaped out of the bedroom, looked back at Su Ran, signalling him to hurry up and follow.

"You little rascal, have you found something?"

Curious, Su Ran looked at Xiao Hei, muttering suspiciously to himself, "Don’t tell me... you’ve got a Corpse Hiding Map?"

"Spit, spit, spit, what Corpse Hiding Map, you crow’s mouth, it’s a treasure map!"

In the game, Su Ran’s enthusiasm for treasure maps was far less than for Corpse Hiding Maps, but back in reality, it was different. If he dug up a coffin, plus a rotting corpse, wouldn’t that scare him to death?

That would be a sensational case of a hidden corpse in a secret room, absolutely causing an uproar!

The reality was that Corpse Hiding Maps were not suitable for a lawful society. Tomb raiders, of course, were the exception.

Su Ran banished these impractical thoughts from his mind, keeping his eyes fixed on Xiao Hei, wanting to know what it was up to.

However.

Xiao Hei didn’t go far before stopping. In front of it was a pile of empty barrels, not a half barrel of Nutrient Solution left. Xiao Hei jumped right on top of those barrels, pointed a small paw downward, its meaning clear without words.

"Good heavens, Little Ancestor, you’ve used up all this Nutrient Solution?"

Su Ran was utterly astonished, grateful that Xiao Hei had warned him in time, or else the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Keep in mind, Nutrient Solution was the only way to alleviate toxicity for now, and until both he and Xiao Hei were fully healed, they couldn’t do without it. Otherwise, both the man and his pet faced life-threatening risks!

This was an urgent matter. Su Ran quickly ordered a truckload of Nutrient Solution for delivery to his doorstep, just in case.

Thank goodness the game company supplied unlimited Nutrient Solution; stocking up a bit was no issue.

"Xiao Hei, you really are a great ancestor of burning money, thousands of dollars of Nutrient Solution gone just like that!"
