Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1260 - 1171: Money Talks

"Brother Overturning Water, you’ve never even been to the Divine Domain before, I really wonder how you got your strength,"

Smoke Fiend’s voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Forget it, I don’t have any expectations anymore, I guess you’ve never entered the Celestial Realm either. Start from the Imperial City, head northeast, and you’ll find a ladder there guarded by a member of the God Race. Just bribe him with some gold coins, but if you choose to challenge him and win, you can pass too, though it’d be a bit of a waste of time."

Bribe? Bribe?

Su Ran felt a chill, realizing that the customs of NPCs in this game were already well-known—not just a game bug as he had thought. It seemed that this was a way for the game to reel in funds, but it also provided convenience for players, creating a win-win situation no one wanted to disturb.

"Alright, wait a moment."

"Don’t dawdle, come on, we’re all waiting for you!"

"..."

After closing the chat box, Su Ran directly entered the teleportation formation, aiming straight for the second layer of the Imperial City Sewers.

"Tonight’s resting time is inevitably going to be used up, but if I can get one of the three items, it’ll be worth it."

Su Ran left the Imperial City very smoothly, worried about being followed, he immediately used the Instant Movement technique.

Fortunately, he did not waste time on transportation this time and quickly arrived at the ladder Smoke Fiend mentioned. A ladder reached up to the clouds was now in his sight, not much wider than the ladders used in common people’s homes, looking like a straight line when viewed from below, akin to flying a kite made of clouds—it felt like it could snap at any moment.

Luckily, this was a system product with a quality guarantee. If this were in the real world, Su Ran wouldn’t step on it even if it killed him.

Below the cloud ladder, there stood a guard clad in golden armor, holding a broad golden saber, his face showing a ferocious glint, appearing like a fierce beast ready to pounce. If Su Ran annoyed him, there definitely wouldn’t be a good outcome.

"Halt, traveler! This is a critical area of the Celestial Realm, commoners must not approach! Leave quickly, or else, don’t blame me for not being nice!"

Seeing Su Ran walking directly towards the ladder, the guard’s eyes narrowed with vigilance, even raising his long saber to be level with his arm, pointing the tip directly at Su Ran’s head.

"Big brother, please don’t be impulsive—it’s bad for your health. People can get excited easily and that leads to anger, which can turn your urine yellow. If you end up with prostatitis and unable to pee, then I’d really feel guilty."

Su Ran quickly approached, grabbed a few gold coins, and said smilingly, "We’re all on the same side here, I’m just going up for a little task and will be right back. Please, brother, let’s make this easy."

"Hmm? So you’re one of us after all, no wonder you looked familiar. Hurry up then, don’t cause trouble in the Celestial Realm, you hear?"

The guard bit the gold coins then smiled at Su Ran, his broad saber vanishing without a trace, and so did his hostility.

Damn, feeling familiar at first sight? Can recognize me even with a mask on? With that kind of vision, being a security guard is really an underuse of his talents!

Encountering such thick-skinned NPCs, Su Ran knew that complaining was useless, so he could only accept the ’familiar’ fact as it was.

Money can make a ghost push a mill, an everlasting truth, indeed, it’s delightful.

With a smiling send-off from the guard, Su Ran climbed the cloud ladder nonchalantly. He thought it would take a long time, but the scene changed almost instantly, and he found himself already above the clouds.

"Damn, spending money really makes a difference, it turned from a regular ladder to an elevator in no time, VIP member service is really thorough!"

Su Ran stepped onto the clouds with utmost satisfaction, the soft, fluffy feeling making his body feel much lighter. However, walking on the clouds did not surprise Su Ran too much; after all, he had experienced the Cloud City instance before—this was nothing!

Was there anything impossible left in the game? There was nothing you couldn’t do if you just thought of it!

Wait, except for men giving birth.

"Big Smoker, where is the Divine Domain Main City located? I’ve just come up from the Cloud Ladder."

Su Ran exhibited the excellent quality of asking when he didn’t understand. This way, he didn’t need to use his brain and could get answers directly. How nice.

"Ah, Overturning Water my brother, you really are something, knowing nothing. Just follow the clouds and keep heading north, and you’ll see it pretty soon. But once you’re in the Divine Domain Main City, try not to talk if you can help it. The folks of the God Race have quite the temper, and you never know when you might offend them."

"Got it."

After confirming the direction, Su Ran strode northward. As for Big Smoker’s reminder, Su Ran didn’t take it seriously. NPCs had strange tempers, but could they compare with the cunning Yin Si? As long as you had money, everything was negotiable!

"Huh?"

Before Su Ran got very far, the clouds under his feet trembled, and suddenly two plump and adorable cloud creatures emerged from below.

"Huff, puff."

The cloud creatures moved clumsily towards Su Ran to attack. Their fist-speed was very slow, hardly demonstrating any power.

However, Su Ran didn’t want to test them with his body. He used the Treading on Air Technique immediately, increasing the distance between him and the cloud creatures, and started to inspect their skills and attributes closely.

"Damn, they’re level 40 creatures, appearances can be deceiving!"

Su Ran was surprised by these two cloud creatures, but when he saw their attributes, he realized why their close-range attacks were so weak—they were magical creatures.

"Huff! Huff!" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Seeing Su Ran fly up, the two cloud creatures jumped up but couldn’t reach him. Frustration showed on their chubby faces as their color turned from snow white to black. Thunder gathered in their hands. Then one of them threw its hand towards Su Ran, and with a crackling sound, a bolt of lightning thick as a bowl fell from the sky, heading straight for Su Ran’s head.

"Damn, that’s harsh, starting with a deadly move. Do they think I’m easy to bully?"

Su Ran regretted not bringing the Heavenly Thunder Bead. With that ancient treasure, he could have easily swept these cloud creatures away, no matter how many came at him!

"Crack!"

The lightning attack was incredibly fast. Su Ran dodged in a rush; thankfully, it didn’t hit his crown. It would have been quite embarrassing if it had cracked his skull open.

Another bolt of lightning came his way. Su Ran was ready this time, summoning the Sand Shield right above him and taking the hit head-on. However, even with the defensive bonus, he lost nearly a hundred health points. That was fierce!

"Die!"

Su Ran didn’t want to put up with the temper of these two cloud creatures. He summoned an Undead Skeleton, Dark Bone Eagle, and a Little Zombie to take care of them, which shouldn’t be too hard.

"Mmm mmm."

As soon as the Little Zombie appeared, it used the Soul Bewilderment skill, smoothly taking control of the two cloud creatures and turning them into its lackeys.
