Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 586 - 561: Accidentally Caused a Sensation Again

Finally, Demonic Treasure Mountain ceased its trembling and settled in the middle of the swamp.

The mountain took up two-thirds of the swamp, squeezing the mud to the periphery, which only managed to surround the mountain in order to survive. The scene was rather pitiful.

"Ribbit, ribbit!"

The golden fire toad that had escaped sat by the shore, looking at the towering mountain peak and sorrowfully croaking as if it was the harbinger of the arrival of bleak autumn, a last call before hibernation.

Gazing at this sight, Su Ran sighed inwardly. The Dark Swamp was almost non-existent now.

The emergence of Demonic Treasure Mountain had effectively closed off the pathway leading to the Ghost Clan’s realm. The piercing cries of the ghosts instantly ceased. At the same time, a large number of system notifications resounded in Su Ran’s mind, nearly causing him to short-circuit.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for single-handedly closing the Ghost Clan’s portal and preventing a major disaster. Your heroic efforts have been recorded in the annals of game history and will be forever praised by the living beings of the God-Demon Continent."

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for unlocking the Epic Achievement [Hymn]. Special reward: Qi Blood +200, Defense +10." freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Ding! As player Skeleton has thwarted the Ghost Clan’s plot, he has earned high commendations from both the Demon World and Celestial Realm, resulting in Demon Reputation +10000, Celestial Reputation +10000."

"Ding! As player Skeleton has prevented the Ghost Clan’s invasion, Ghost Clan Reputation -10000. You have obtained the title [Treacherous]."

"Ding! As player Skeleton has severely damaged the environment of Dark Swamp, you are fined 1000 gold coins."

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for accomplishing the daunting task of saving the God-Demon Continent. A server-wide announcement will be made. Would you like to remain anonymous?"

"I must remain anonymous!!!"

Su Ran practically shouted out.

It was a joke, he was the one who had broken the seal of the Ghost Clan’s Sealed Land, and then blocked it again, saving the God-Demon Continent in the process. Did he have brain damage, pricking for fun?!

He could imagine all the players in the game praising him as a madman.

System announcement: "Ding! Due to player **** single-handedly sealing the Ghost Clan’s portal and preventing the Ghost Clan’s plot, he has saved the living beings of the God-Demon Continent! The system upgrade has been canceled, and players may continue with their gaming experience. Lastly, let’s remember the name of this player, ****. Let’s cheer for his bravery!"

The three consecutive system announcements left all the players stunned.

"What’s going on here? What’s with the sudden flip?"

"Damn it! I had already made plans with my girlfriend for shopping, and now you’re saying you’re not updating?"

"Is the system joking? They even hid the player’s name; how are we supposed to remember that?"

"Poor Skeleton, he’d just opened the Ghost Clan’s portal and now it’s been blocked by another player. Judging from my years of gleaning experience from shows, it looks like Skeleton should be in trouble!"

"That’s strange. Why does it show that the nickname doesn’t exist when I try to add Skeleton as a friend?"

"Stop making a fuss! The friend add feature has restrictions, anyone can set it!"

...

Of course, Su Ran was not aware of the chatter on the world channel as he was yet to regain his human form. Had he been able to see all that happening, it would have been weird!

Looking at the three consecutive system announcements, he suddenly had the urge to put away Demonic Treasure Mountain. If he did so, would the system send out a few more announcements?

The system seemed to be on the verge of crashing.

Cough, cough.

But he reconsidered. If he angered the system, who knew if it would seal his infinite bladder capacity? If that happened, wouldn’t he just break down in tears.

At that moment, Su Ran felt like he was on a roller coaster, going up and down, leaving him restless for quite a while.

"Phew, at least I managed to fix my mistake. If I’d really given the Ghost Clan access near my territory, Skeleton Village would be the first to suffer," Su Ran knew the gravity of the situation. The Ghost Clan wasn’t ready to appear yet; he’d wait until the right opportunity came! For now, he put these thoughts away and looked down at the already half-submerged Demonic Treasure Mountain with regret.

His original intention was to have Demonic Treasure Mountain appear at Sinister Grave Ridge and then relocate his territory on top of the mountain. But all that changed with the current predicament, disrupting all his plans.

"However, gaining two achievements and two titles is not bad. At least I got something out of coming out of anonymity."

Su Ran chuckled self-deprecatingly. His seemingly calm life was about to be disrupted again. Han Siying, Zhang Meng, and Li Wan’er all knew that he was the Skeleton. He only hoped they wouldn’t cause any trouble.

"Why is Mom so wary of moving? Could there be a reason I don’t know about?"

Su Ran recalled how his mother was evasive when he brought up moving, insisting that they wait until after the college entrance exams. Something was off!

"Since Mom isn’t telling me, it means it’s not time for me to know."

With a resigned chuckle, Su Ran shook his head and put away those distracting thoughts. He looked at the achievements and titles that he had just received.

[Monstrous Crime] (Rare Achievement)

Having this achievement will lead to disdain from all the NPCs of the God-Demon Continent. Tax for trade goods will be doubled, and the player cannot take up hidden missions.

[Hymn] (Epic Achievement)

Having this achievement will lead to admiration from all NPCs across the God-Demon Continent. When purchasing equipment, you receive a 25% discount and a doubled chance of getting hidden missions.

"Cough, cough!"

Looking at the properties of these two achievements, Su Ran couldn’t help coughing. The two achievements were opposing in nature, even the system hadn’t anticipated that a player could possess both at the same time. If he were to go around with both achievements, he would definitely shock numerous NPCs! Would they disdain or adore him? Su Ran kind of wanted to try out their intricate expressions.

Hahaha!

At this point, Su Ran had become the embodiment of both an angel and a devil and was feeling pretty good about it!

Next, Su Ran turned his attention to the two new titles he’d just obtained.

[Ghost Clan Envoy] (Title)

Will not be attacked by ghosts below the rank of Ghost Messenger in the Ghost Clan realm. Death exemption +1.

[Treacherous] (Title)

Those who attain this title will be wanted by the Ghost Clan and will not be able to enter the Ghost Clan’s territory.

"Wanted?"

Su Ran chuckled. "They can’t even get out, what good is being wanted? And just so you know, I’ve already riled up quite a few strong enemies, what’s one more!"

"Right, the system also rewarded an extra 100 points of Qi Blood, not bad, not bad. An additional 10 attribute points!"

The penalties and rewards offset each other and the extra 100 points of Qi Blood served as consolation.

"Hold on...what the hell!"

As Su Ran read each system prompt, he was shocked to discover that 1000 gold coins had been deducted from his account!

"..."

Su Ran didn’t even bother to curse at the detestably system. Who could argue when it was the one with all the power in the game.

That being said, Demonic Treasure Mountain had indeed ruined the Dark Swamp. If it chose to penalize him over that, he didn’t have any counters.
