Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 630 - 594: The Pitiful Great White Shark

Glancing at his phone screen, Su Ran was surprised to find that the incoming call was from a strange number.

"Could it be another return visit from the 10086 customer service hotline?"

Su Ran remembered the past incident and couldn’t help but laugh at his own ridiculousness. Despite evidence to the contrary, he felt that all this mischief was orchestrated by Yu Jing. As for this phone call, Su Ran thought for a while and promptly answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Little Brother Su?"

"You are... Sister Wan’er?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran was stunned. He didn’t expect his neighbor, Li Wan’er, to be the one calling.

"Sister Wan’er, how did you get my phone number?"

"How can you have the audacity to ask? You’ve been absent for days. You’re nowhere to be seen at home, and unreachable in the game. Are you planning to disappear or something?"

From the tone of her voice, Sister Wan’er seemed quite annoyed.

"Sister Wan’er, did you need something from me?"

Su Ran quickly changed the subject. It was clear that dwelling on this would only lead to more trouble for him.

"First, link your phone wirelessly to your game pod so that you can take calls while in-game. That way, I can reach you more easily."

"Does such a function exist?"

With Li Wan’er’s guidance, Su Ran finally managed to sync his phone signal with the game pod.

"Little Brother Su, I’ve gathered some gear for you. Where can we meet for you to collect it?"

"Eh? Sister Wan’er, what made you decide to gather gear for me? Gear investment is a big deal, you can’t just do this!"

Su Ran was overwhelmed with gratitude. He hadn’t expected Li Wan’er to go to such lengths for him.

"You might not realize it, but many players are eying your territory. If you keep on being nonchalant, you won’t have time to develop your territory. Are you really planning to cede it to someone else? Little Brother Su, we belong to different factions and I can’t help you directly. This is the only way I can. Use the gear to increase your wealth value and enhance the defense of your territory to prevent it from being taken."

At that moment, Su Ran felt deeply moved. After a brief silence, he said sincerely into the phone:

"Sister Wan’er, thank you!"

"Enough with your saccharine words, Little Brother Su, we’re like siblings, you don’t need to thank me! Who knows, I may not survive in the Human Race and might need to rely on you one day. When that time comes, you better not turn me and my friends away, got it?"

Upon hearing Li Wan’er’s veiled threat, Su Ran chuckled.

"Okay, Sister Wan’er. Let’s meet at the Dark Swamp. I’ve relocated my territory there."

"Your territory has moved? Oh my god, is the territory that’s been the talk of the forum - the crazy flying land, yours?"

Li Wan’er’s astonishment almost knocked Su Ran’s phone out of his hand.

"Yeah, it’s located in a strategic area near mountains and rivers which makes it very defensible. The defense of my territory has increased a lot!"

"That’s very fortuitous then as I’ve logged out near Dark Swamp. By the way, Little Brother Su, are you going to log back in a while?"

"Um, yeah."

"I need an hour or so. You go on ahead, we’ll catch up later."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you in my territory."

After he hung up, Su Ran felt a warm sensation inside. It was as if he had drunk a bowl of mushroom soup. The sour mood that Han Siying had caused earlier had been completely swept away.

After he logged back in, he found himself next to the Great White Shark.

Due to the long delay, the Great White Shark had once again transformed into a large block of ice. Looking at its ferocious skeleton, it was quite apparent that it was unhappy.

"Oh, no. Could this resentment be because of me?"

Feeling a sense of impending doom. Su Ran thought to himself, "It’s my fault after all. Having just dug someone up and then leaving them to freeze, that was just rude."

"Great White Shark, don’t be angry. I’ll come apologize right now!"

Taking advantage of the ample time, Su Ran pulled out his Novice Pick and started digging into the recently formed block of ice with all his might.

"Clank, clank, clank!"

Su Ran’s digging technique was getting more proficient. This time, he managed to dig open the ice block encasing the Great White Shark in half the time.

"Roar!!!"

An angry roar erupted from the skull of the Great White Shark, the sound waves surging and reaching the heavens. After venting his rage, the Great White Shark slowly rose, glaring at Su Ran, a terrifying aura started brewing within its bones.

Su Ran had an illusion that although the Great White Shark was ferocious, its soul fluctuations seemed to have weakened quite a bit.

Could it be that creating an ice block embodiment to freeze itself consumes a significant amount of soul energy?

If that was the case, he was indeed greatly at fault!

"Senior, the situation was urgent just now, and I had to leave before I could explain. I hope you can forgive me..." Su Ran tentatively said, fearing that the ancient boss’s fury would spill over onto him. As long as it could quell its anger, anything goes!

"Little skeleton."

The Great White Shark’s voice, filled with anger, echoed out. From a higher position, it glared down at Su Ran and roared, "If you had come a minute earlier, I wouldn’t have needed to freeze! Damn it, I was just about to freeze myself when you dug me out!"

"What a coincidence, such a coincidence."

Su Ran awkwardly laughed, it was all Li Wan’er’s fault. If it weren’t for her phone call...

Before Su Ran could swear under his breath, his phone suddenly rang in the game. The melodious ringtone was, at this moment, as grating to Su Ran as a death knell at midnight.

Holy shit, this was too out of blue!

Frightfully sudden, giving one a big start!

If this happened during an intense battle, the distraction from a phone call could have dire consequences...

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Su Ran immediately accessed the system settings and switched his external phone’s ringtone to silent mode.

"What coincidence! I see you doing it on purpose..."

The Great White Shark hadn’t vented his anger fully when it noticed Su Ran lowering his head, fiddling with something, clearly not paying attention to it. Seeing this, the Great White Shark’s anger flared up instantly, furiously surging upwards. This damned undead skeleton had no respect, didn’t it see him fuming at all? It had no respect for him at all!!

Damn it!!!

(Friendly reminder, the phone is a personal device, the Great White Shark can’t hear the ringtone.)

"Undead Skeleton!!!"

The Great White Shark’s enraged roar actually caused the entire territory to tremble. Even the swamp pool at the foot of the mountain was rippling; the Swamp Fire Toads scurried away in panic, hopping onto the land. The ferocity of the Great White Shark, the terror of the seas, was indeed terrifying!

"Ah? Senior, did you call me?"

Clearly, Su Ran was busy altering the settings just now and hadn’t heard a word the Great White Shark had said. Startled by the angry roar, he finally came to his senses and asked in confusion.

"You..."

Just before the Great White Shark could lash out at Su Ran, he saw Su Ran make a silencing gesture towards him and said apologetically, "Senior, wait a moment, let me answer a call."

Without time to elaborate to the Great White Shark, Su Ran stepped aside to answer the phone.

"Little Brother Su, what are you doing? Why did you only pick up now?"

The person on the line was Su Ran’s neighbor, Li Wan’er.

"Wan... Ms. Wan, didn’t you say it would take half an hour? Why are you online so soon?"

Li Wan’er’s sudden appearance disrupted Su Ran’s plans.

"I had some urgent matters today and had no time to log in. I’ll give you the equipment first to save you from waiting. By the way, I’ve already teleported to the foot of the Dark Swamp. The coordinates are****. Hurry up, limited time!"

Li Wan’er’s voice was in a hurry, finding precious gaming time for him touched Su Ran deeply. Since the matter couldn’t be delayed anymore, he had no choice but to...

"Senior, why don’t you sleep for a while longer?"
