Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1307 - 1121: Sister Wan’er’s Entrustment

"You? Still a kid? Pfft!"

Li Wan’er gave Su Ran a scornful look. "In ancient times, emperors were mature enough to make soy sauce at eighteen. You’re still pulling this on me? A big baby much?!"

"Wan’er, sister, your metaphor is a bit exaggerated. How can I compare to emperors? They were the esteemed Son of Heaven, with three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines—one for each day, no repeats for a whole year. Just thinking about their lives makes me envious!"

"Listen to yourself, with such filthy thoughts, you dare to call yourself a kid? You know more about this stuff than I do, and you have the nerve to say it!"

Li Wan’er reached out intending to give Su Ran a noggin bop, but remembering his health condition, she sullenly withdrew her hand.

"I only know about this stuff because it’s written in the history textbooks. Tenth-grade history, page 39, third paragraph, fourth line. Don’t believe me? Look it up!"

Su Ran made a wronged expression. "Wan’er, sister, it’s not what you think. I even blushed learning about this in class. You’ve misunderstood!"

"Misunderstood? Little Brother Su, I really didn’t expect you to have such a thick face! Anyway, I’m not here to argue with you about this today. Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes. For real, if you can manage to get his photo, I’ll treat you to a big feast! I mean it, my word is my bond!"

Uh.

Am I the kind of guy who’d sell out for a meal? That’s so demeaning!

Su Ran was quite confident in his ability to keep secrets. He was absolutely the kind who could not be corrupted by wealth, moved by poverty, or bent by power. And now they were trying to bribe him with a meal? What a joke!

"Where would we eat?"

"Get the photo first, then we’ll talk. No beautified ones, no fakes, just pure, makeup-free, candid shots. Got it?"

Seeing Su Ran take the bait, Li Wan’er smiled happily. She was in such a good mood that she voluntarily started cleaning up the dishes on the table. "Since I’m in a good mood today, I’ll tidy up the table for you. But if you dare not help me, I’ll make sure you regret it!"

"..."

Su Ran watched Wan’er busy herself, sighing inwardly. He knew that the romance Wan’er dreamt of was doomed to fail, and the reason was known only to him.

Online romance, heh...

After seeing off Li Wan’er and noticing that his mother still hadn’t returned home, Su Ran no longer waited for her and headed back to his bedroom alone to enter the game.

What Su Ran hadn’t noticed was that Xiao Hei hadn’t appeared at all while Li Wan’er was around. As for where it had gone, that remained a mystery.

"Whoosh!"

After logging on, Su Ran appeared in the Imperial City warehouse and was surprised to find Wu Liuyi squatting on the ground, drawing circles and muttering something—probably nothing pleasant.

"Overturning Water, you finally showed up. I thought you stood me up!"

Upon seeing Su Ran log in, Wu Liuyi quickly got to his feet. His resentful gaze accompanied by a look of aggrievement made Su Ran shiver as if he were looking at a wronged woman trapped in her boudoir.

"What’s the matter? Is the quest timed, and it’s already gone?"

Su Ran couldn’t stand this guy’s bizarre looks and quickly changed the subject. "If it’s not doable, let’s forget it. Let’s mourn and move on. If there’s nothing else, I’ll log off."

"Don’t. This isn’t a time-limited quest!"

Wu Liuyi, defeated by Su Ran’s refreshing thought process, hurriedly explained. "Didn’t we agree on half an hour? Look at the time now!"

"Oh, that’s what you meant. Sorry about that, I had a visitor at home and couldn’t get away. Besides, I was only three minutes and 690 seconds late. Is it necessary to quibble over those three seconds? Come on, let’s do the quest."

Knowing he was at fault, Su Ran quickly steered the conversation to the quest.

"Sigh."

Wu Liuyi was stunned by Su Ran’s bizarre way of calculating time and took a deep breath to keep his cool. "We need to go to the ocean to complete this quest. Oh right, do you have a Teleportation Scroll to Deep Sea Fishing Island? Let’s meet at the island."

"Teleportation Scroll? How did you get that?"

Su Ran had always been curious about how they found the Deep Sea Fishing Island. The moment of truth was approaching, and he couldn’t help feeling a little excited.

This matter was related to his future wealth. Whether the teleportation arrays in his territory had a selling point depended on the value of these scrolls.

"Dude, seriously? Overturning Water, have you never even seen a Teleportation Scroll? This is a problem!"

Wu Liuyi’s expression changed, reflecting his extreme dilemma. "The island is in the middle of the ocean; you can’t get there by normal means. You can only get one scroll per person to facilitate our access to the Pet Island event. By the way, these things can’t be used in a team, and they have only thirty uses before they’re gone."

"A real quest item, the system is still as stingy as ever."

With this revelation, Su Ran’s mind started buzzing with possibilities—his plans to make a fortune were back on track.

Good news!

"Little Six, just get a scroll now, and we’re set. Why make it a problem? Quest items are free, so why not take them?"

"Come on, could you not call me Little Six? That nickname is a bit too much for me to handle... Besides, the Pet Island quest has already ended. Where are you going to get a Teleportation Scroll now?"

At this moment, Wu Liuyi was on an emotional roller coaster. He had finally gotten Su Ran onboard, only to realize there were no scrolls left. How miserable!

"Forget it, Overturning Water. Even if I wanted to let you go, it’d be hard for you to reach the ocean terrain, so I won’t make it difficult for you. I’ll find another way for the quest."

Since it was impossible, Wu Liuyi didn’t press the matter any further. He gracefully gave Su Ran a way out, avoiding an awkward situation.

"I’m just missing a Teleportation Scroll; it’s not like I can’t get to Deep Sea Fishing Island. Look at your bitter face, as if the sky is falling. Is it really that serious?"

Ever since learning about the downsides of the Teleportation Scroll, Su Ran’s mood had been quite good, and his tone had become very lighthearted.

"Dammit, you should’ve said so earlier, making me worry for nothing!"

Wu Liuyi, at a loss for words and filled with resignation, looked at Su Ran.

"Well, you never asked, and you didn’t give me a chance to speak. Who can you blame?"

"Let’s not haggle over these little things. Everything’s ready, if we don’t set off now, it’ll be daylight. Overturning Water, let’s go!"

As Wu Liuyi said this, he used his Teleportation Scroll and left the warehouse.

"Eh, he’s in such a hurry. Rushing off to get married, maybe?"

Su Ran couldn’t help but laugh dryly at the sight of the boy’s frantic rush. He didn’t linger in the warehouse either, immediately returning to his territory. Glancing at the dark swamp pond beneath Demonic Treasure Mountain, he stepped into the teleportation array.

Higher-class sea creatures would better meet Great White Shark’s needs—after all, it was a deep-sea overlord, unwilling to settle for a small swamp pond. Anybody could guess that this guy definitely harboured unspeakable ambitions!
