Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1250 - 1162: Divine Beast

Su Ran didn’t even know how he got into the game.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get any information about his dad from his mom’s lips, he had no idea where his dad was, what work he was doing, and to the point where he’d need to use money to buy back his freedom—it was that serious!

Could it be...

Thinking about the possibility that his mom hated illegal activities down to her bones, Su Ran could guess the general idea.

But that wasn’t right either, if Dad had been detained, there should still be the freedom to visit him, right?

If it were so, there was no need for Mom to hide it so deeply, the situation was definitely not as simple as he had thought!

But what exactly happened?

Even if Su Ran racked his brains, he couldn’t find out his dad’s whereabouts—the only thing to blame was his mom’s tight lips.

However.

When he learned from his mom that the money in the bank account should be enough to bring Dad back, it was a great joy for Su Ran. Money could be earned again, but a father is irreplaceable.

Su Ran had also mentioned that he wanted to join Mom in welcoming Dad back, but she strictly refused.

"Forget it, when Dad gets home, everything will come to light naturally. I’ve waited for so long, a little while longer won’t make a difference!"

Gazing at the tomb in front of him, Su Ran fell silent for a moment before suppressing all his doubts, unleashing all his frustrations on the tomb ahead. The hoe waved nonstop and in no time, more than half of the grave mound was dug up.

This grave had fallen on eight generations’ worth of bad luck. If it had consciousness, it would surely curse out loud, "Who did I provoke? Is this even something a human would do?"

At this moment, he was completely in a state of seclusion, working hard for the ten stalks of Infinite Money. He wanted to see if this little egg, small as a chicken egg, could really match up to the Undead pets auctioned at the auction house!

Unexpectedly to Su Ran, this digging lasted until the ninth day of the New Year; the graves refreshed several times, but in the end, they did not escape the might of his hoe.

Luckily, there was no shortage of graves at the Sinister Grave Ridge, which were like the wild grass of spring: unceasingly springing up as soon as the hoe touched them, saving him the time looking for them. Under his relentless digging, he finally managed to gather ten stalks of Infinite Money just before the tenth day of the New Year.

Although he missed the New Year’s pet-catching event, Su Ran felt it was worth it.

The hardships involved were known only to him. After digging intensely for such a long time, he was almost sick of it. He guessed that for a long while in the future, he wouldn’t even want to touch a grave again.

But, with effort came reward. He obtained countless sacrificial items this time, including over a hundred coffins, let alone graveyard grass, paper money, and so on.

However, since the Sinister Grave Ridge was a map for beginners, the quality of these graves was somewhat lackluster. The hundred tombs of the Undead that had appeared at the beginning had vanished without a trace after relocating his domain, which did become a regret for him.

As Su Ran’s perspective had already broadened, not a single one of the burial goods dug up from the graves caught his eye. He didn’t bother to meticulously select them and hurried to find Yin Si to hand in the quest.

No choice, time was pressing—the martial arts competition was about to begin, and he hadn’t even had time to sign up. Such a basic error was absolutely unacceptable!

"Knock knock knock."

Su Ran didn’t care what time it was and knocked on the door directly. That bastard had made him dig graves for several days straight—if he still had a good temper, that would be weird.

"Creak~"

The door opened, and there stood the swindler Yin Si, grinning in front of Su Ran with his bony claws rubbing together, clearly signaling his intentions.

"Eh? Lord Yin Si, you seem to be in good spirits today. Did you have a dream of striking it rich?"

Su Ran began with a tone laced with sarcasm, blaming the old man for tiredly digging for days—undoubtedly he was the mastermind!

Despicable!

"Hehe, last night I dreamed of magpies chirping above my head, and it really came true. Little skeleton, coming to me today, could it be that you’ve gathered the Infinite Money I required?"

"No need to trouble yourself, I’ve got it all!"

Su Ran said irritably, handing over those ten strands of Infinite Money.

"Heh heh..."

Yin Si didn’t act surprised; with a flick of his sleeve, that Infinite Money had already vanished from sight.

"Little Skeleton Lord, weren’t you eager to ask about the origin of this egg? Don’t worry, just hand over that pet egg first, and I’ll confirm it."

"Alright."

Once he had the money, Yin Si’s cooperation didn’t disappoint Su Ran, whose expression softened a bit as he handed over the pet egg to the conniving merchant.

"Hey, this texture, absolutely unmistakable!"

Yin Si casually played with the pet egg, even tossing it in the air.

Seeing this, Su Ran’s heart leapt into his throat, terrified that the old fellow might slip up and shatter the egg on the ground.

Damn it, where do you buy this kind of nerve-wracking experience? This is too torturous!

"Little Skeleton, I’ve got to say, you’re quite lucky. To tell you the truth, this should be the egg of an ancient god beast, the Sun God Bird, now in this state due to corruption by the Dark Breath—how ironic."

Yin Si, having received a benefit, naturally had no reason to hold back. After returning the pet egg, he shared everything he knew, "In ancient times, during the era of the God-Demon Wars, the fall of the Sun God Bird shook the entire God-Demon Continent. It is said the place of its fall was an island of the undead, guarded by a sphinx for endless years. Unexpectedly, you’ve disrupted the balance and managed to rescue the remnants of the Sun God Bird."

"The Sun God Bird? Remnants?"

A god beast!!!

Su Ran’s eyes blazed with fervor; even just the remnants of a god beast were of incomparable value, far beyond any gold skeletal pet!

At this moment, Su Ran felt that all the injustices he had suffered before were worth it. Indeed, there was a rainbow waiting after the storm, and he vented all the pent-up frustration from his chest.

So satisfying!!!

With the Sun God Bird as his divine pet, his lineup would be truly extraordinary!

"Lord Yin Si, you haven’t told me how to hatch this pet egg yet?"

Su Ran’s voice was filled with urgency. This conniving merchant... why stop talking when it comes to the crucial point?! Isn’t this just a complete tease?

"Hmm? Little Skeleton, didn’t you just ask about the origin of the egg? I’ve already told you that, haven’t I?"

Yin Si feigned confusion, glancing at Su Ran, "What, wasn’t my explanation detailed enough?"

"..."

Su Ran was stunned; he hadn’t expected the merchant to be so deceitful, exploiting loopholes in his questions and leaving his explanations half-finished. Wasn’t this the same as cutting off a story before its end?

This was too despicable!

"Lord Yin Si, please stop joking around, it’s not funny at all. Could you just tell me how to properly hatch this pet egg?"

"Heh, that’s a second question,"

Yin Si chuckled, crossing two bony fingers to form an ’X’, "If you want to know, that’ll be ten strands of Infinite Money."

Fucking hell!!!
