Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 640 - 603: Prison Disaster

Impressed by the riveting performance of the female player, the crowd was immediately abuzz.

"This woman is in trouble!" they said.

"Daring to provoke Crane That Doesn’t Dance, she must have a death wish!"

"In my opinion, she should be wanted in every zone!"

The spectators were eager for a good show, waiting for Crane That Doesn’t Dance to explode right in front of the woman.

However,

Crane That Doesn’t Dance didn’t even show the slightest hint of anger. Instead, he wryly said to the female player, "Sister Ling, stop teasing me. My life is chaotic enough as it is. Your actions are just adding fuel to the fire."

Sister Ling?

It turned out they knew each other!

The watching crowd was obviously disappointed, and sighs grew louder.

"You’re flirting with a woman like this?"

Just then, the quietly observant Shuxin finally spoke.

"No no no, Shuxin, you’ve got it all wrong, she’s just..."

At the moment, beads of sweat dripped down Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s forehead and he was so nervous that he was stuttering. But before he could explain, Sister Ling would have none of it. She angrily pulled Crane That Doesn’t Dance aside, stepped in front of Shuxin, and looked her in the eye, her strong presence not the least bit diminished. She then put her hands on her hips mimicking an aggressive woman’s demeanor, and admonished Shuxin:

"So, you’re Shuxin, huh? Got a bit of fame and now you’re full of yourself? You think being pretty makes you better? What can that compare to my vitality? You’re not even fully developed yet, acting high and mighty. You think what, you’re someone important? Without your parents, you’re nothing!"

"Clang!"

Having been raised in protective environment, Shuxin had never experienced such treatment. She was shaking with rage, her reasoning drowned by her anger. She reached for her weapon but instead pulled out the Lava Greatsword. Not caring whether it was a safe zone or not, she shouted with rage and lunged with the sword.

"Bang!"

An invisible shield easily blocked Shuxin’s fierce attack on Sister Ling, who smirked at Shuxin’s shocked expression. "Naive woman, can’t take a little provocation. I don’t know what Crane sees in you, he’s been wasting all his time on you instead of doing raids. I feel sorry for him!"

However, Shuxin remained silent, her pretty face cold as ice, secretly clenching her teeth and persistently attacking, only to have all her strikes effortlessly blocked by the system’s invincible shield.

[Regional Announcements]

"Ding! Player Shuxin, for taking up arms within a safe zone, has violated the Imperial City’s laws and will be thrown into the Imperial City prison for harsh punishment!"

...

Three consecutive system announcements reverberated throughout the Imperial City, shocking all the players in the area.

"Swoosh!"

Two Imperial City guard NPCs instantly showed up, without any discussion, apprehended the offending Shuxin and showed no sympathy towards her due to her gender, taking her straight to the Imperial City.

They were even making a public spectacle of her.

Shuxin was probably going to make headlines tomorrow.

"Damn it! Sister Ling, look what trouble you’ve caused!"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance glared at Sister Ling, then ran towards the two officers, pulled out his warhammer, performed a Jump Cut, and yelled: freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"You bastards, I’m attacking too, what are you going to do, arrest me too!"

Right after Crane finished yelling, the authoritative system alert echoed throughout the entire Imperial City.

[Regional Announcements]

"Ding! Player Crane That Doesn’t Dance, for disrespecting the law and maliciously attacking Imperial City guards within a safe zone, is now classified as an unwanted person in the Imperial City. Entry to the city is prohibited for ten days and the tax rate for NPC transactions has doubled."

"Ding! Player Crane That Doesn’t Dance, for taking up arms within a safe zone, has violated the Imperial City’s laws and will be thrown into the Imperial City prison for harsh punishment!"

...

Three consecutive announcements, just like heavy bombs of information, left the players within the Imperial City dumbfounded.

What’s happening today? Even prison is overcrowded!

Considering this, today is a good day to go to prison...

"Shu, I’ve created the opportunity for you, it’s up to you to make use of it. Want to get a woman’s forgiveness, need to spice things up a bit, right?"

Sister Ling showed a subtle smirk, ignoring the surrounding players pointing fingers at her, took out a teleportation scroll, and left the place.

"How can you be more foolish than me?"

Shuxin stared at Crane That Doesn’t Dance, who like her, was arrested, her emotions were mixed.

"As long as I can sacrifice for you, I’m happy! As for Sister Ling...it’s not what you think...never mind...I’ll explain this to you later when there’s a better chance. Shu, everybody makes mistakes, you see, I’ve realized mine, I’ve been punished too. Please forgive me this time, okay?"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance grinned, his pained smile revealing overwhelming fatigue and regret.

"After we get out of jail, we will get our hands on the plot of land."

Shuxin bit her lower lip and whispered to Crane That Doesn’t Dance. The cold voice and the solemn tone were evident.

"Huh?"

"Never mind, it’s nothing."

"No, no...I’ll do it! Haha, I’ll start gathering people right now!"

...

Dark Swamp.

A woman mage dressed in a red robe and a rookie female player were walking in the Dark Swamp, the undergrowth rustling under their feet.

"Hey girl, is that young man’s plot of land really in the Dark Swamp? He hid it in this newbie zone, that’s quite smart!"

The speaker was Lin Yuting, Yu Jing’s older sister whose game name was Drizzle.

"Big sis, he told me, so it should be correct," Lin Yuqing replied subconsciously while looking around. The realistic scenery of the game surprised her. She had never imagined this game could be so real that it felt like she was physically in the game world.

"That’s wrong though, if he truly has a plot of land, he should have been on the Land Rankings by now! Little sister, I have a feeling he’s been lying to you!"

Drizzle looked at her sister and said solemnly, "Little sister, after we meet him, don’t make any rash decisions, follow my lead. Understand?"

"Alright~ You’re too long-winded, like some menopausal old woman! And, Sodawater has a name, you know, stop calling him ’that young man’. It doesn’t sound good!"

Lin Yuqing made an annoyed face, bared her small tiger teeth, and scared her sister.

"Alright, alright. You haven’t even married him yet, but already taking his side. So, what’s his name in the game? I’ll change the way I address him."

"He...I think he uses Skull."

Lin Yuqing remembered when they were at TickTock Cafe, Sodawater had personally told her his gaming name. She had held on to every word he had told her since then.

"What? Skull is him?!"

Upon hearing her sister, Drizzle was taken aback, stopped in her tracks, and exclaimed in shock at her sister.
