Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 442 - 436: The Shock of the Old Beggar

Sinister Grave Ridge, Skeleton Village.

"Does Old Man Li know about this crazy woman?"

Even after returning to the village, Su Ran still couldn’t shake off his shock. He found such a woman utterly unreasonable.

Next, Su Ran pulled out the architectural blueprint worth 3030 gold. The more he looked at it, the happier he became. He had a hunch that its value would certainly be far from ordinary since it was auctioned as the last item in the auction house!

Su Ran believed that when the Guardian Thunder Tower showed its brilliance, those players who had hesitated to bid would surely regret their decision! fгeewebnovёl.com

"Old man, where are you?"

Su Ran called emotionally. However, after taking a full round in his territory, he realized that he didn’t know where the old beggar lived!

Huh, being a lord to this extent, that’s unprecedented...

"Old man~"

Su Ran called several times without discovering the old beggar. At a loss, he drew an Underworld Coin from his pocket, threw it on the ground, stepped hard on it, and excitedly exclaimed, "Ha ha, how lucky, I found an Underworld Coin on the ground!"

Suddenly.

A violent wind blew.

In front of Su Ran appeared a skeleton draped in a black cloak. Without a doubt, it was the unscrupulous merchant Yin Si. Right behind him was the NPC Su Ran sought, the old beggar.

The old beggar’s eyes shone brightly, showing great intensity in his stride, blowing the wind beneath his feet, not like an old man at all. He shouted wholeheartedly while running, "The money fell from me; nobody tries to snatch it!"

Lastly to follow was a skeleton. Su Ran took a closer look and realized it was Butler Liu.

With a cold sweat, Su Ran felt he had landed in a ridiculous village. Here, if you have money, you rule!

Then, Su Ran found out that these three started arguing over that single Underworld Coin. The loud bickering irritated Su Ran to the verge of exploding.

"All of you, shut up!"

Su Ran shouted, "This Underworld Coin is mine..."

But before he could finish, his words were drowned out by their incessant gabble. They had completely neglected him.

Alright, Su Ran admitted he had underestimated their obsession with the Underworld Coin...

Interestingly, the discarded Underworld Coin had been in the ground for a while and was reclaimed by the game system...

Now it became really interesting. The Underworld Coin was gone, and these old men shamelessly turned their hostility towards Su Ran, starting a brutal verbal attack on him.

"Alright, I actually found three Underworld Coins."

Su Ran admitted defeat, utterly. Instead of bickering with them, he made a concession. A retreat is the quickest way to keep everybody happy.

Indeed.

After Su Ran took out the three Underworld Coins, these old men immediately made peace, happily took one Underworld Coin each, and left, chattering away.

"Old man, please stop!"

Only then did Su Ran remember his main task, hurriedly took two quick steps, caught up with the old beggar, and stopped him. Joking aside, he had just lost 4 Underworld Coins; he couldn’t let him off so easily!

"What’s up? Do you have any instructions, my lord?"

The old beggar was taken aback by Su Ran’s action, not understanding the meaning of it... Could it be... was he regretting, wanting to take back the Underworld Coin? Thinking thus, the old beggar held the Underworld Coin in his hand tighter.

"Old man, you don’t need to be so nervous, please take a look at this."

Su Ran handed over the valuable architectural blueprint he held in his hand to the old beggar.

"This is... a Guardian Thunder Tower?"

The old beggar caught his breath, quickly grabbed the blueprint, and studied it carefully.

"It’s really it, after so many years, I can finally make up for the regret of my youth!"

Gently caressing the blueprint, the old beggar sighed reflectively. Inevitably, memories of his younger days flooded back, some nostalgic, some sad.

"Old man, would you please tell me what you meant? Can you help me figure out whether the property of this Guardian Thunder Tower is strong or weak?"

Su Ran couldn’t help interrupting the old beggar’s reminiscing. Just with his calloused hands, the precious blueprint would get ruined pretty soon if it keeps getting caressed like that. If it became unusable, that would be trouble!

"This is a defensive weapon left from the Ancient Battlefield, do you think it is strong or weak?"

The old beggar glanced at Su Ran and said indifferently.

An Ancient Battlefield?!

Su Ran was stunned for a moment, then a look of thrill crossed his face.

Just as he had guessed!

A blueprint valued by the Architectural Grandmaster must be worth much more than 3030 gold coins! In other words, he got a huge bargain!

Su Ran believed that with such a grand background, this blueprint shouldn’t have appeared at this stage. It was likely due to the Beast Clan’s attack on the city, the destruction of the Jade Seal of the Realm, and inadvertent acceleration of the game process that this blueprint appeared in the auction house. But at this stage, only two territories had appeared. No one knew the value of this blueprint. Hence, due to a series of coincidences, this special blueprint ended up in his hands.

"My Lord, there’s one thing you need to know. While the Guardian Thunder Tower is powerful, it also has a fatal weakness."

Looking at the special blueprint, the old beggar said with a complicated expression, "The element of thunder has always been rebellious and temperamental since ancient times. It’s very difficult to retain. This building must be charged periodically to continue functioning at its best. Otherwise, it will just be a decorative building taking up useful territory space."

"Isn’t this simple? Just pull out a wire and connect it to a power plug, wouldn’t that do it?"

Su Ran said without thinking. It was only after he said it that he realized he was inside a virtual world—there was no such thing as electric wiring!

"What did the lord say? I don’t understand."

The old beggar appeared puzzled. What were a power supply and a plug? These words were all new to him.

"I said it wrong, it was wrong."

Su Ran hastily explained. He stepped forward, took out something from his pocket, presented it to the old beggar, and said, "Old man, do you know whether this bead can serve as a charger?"

"Hiss... "

The old beggar gasped. He couldn’t take his eyes off what appeared to be an ordinary bead in front of him. His cheeks trembled, and even dropping the precious blueprint of the Guardian Thunder Tower didn’t catch his attention.

"Old man, please be careful, if this precious blueprint falls to the ground, the system may clear it!"

Su Ran shouted worriedly. The disappearance of his Underworld Coin earlier was because of this. If the blueprint was reclaimed by the system, wouldn’t it be heart-wrenching?

"Lord, if I may ask, is this bead in your hand one of the Ten Heavenly Thunder Beads from ancient times?"

The old beggar’s voice trembled with disbelief as he asked.
