Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 662 - 621: Harvest of Financial Strength

Atop the peak of Demonic Treasure Mountain, Skull Village.

A flash of white light, an undead skeleton appeared in the territory, a strange sphere in its hand.

"It’s better to avoid women like that in the future!"

Su Ran placed the Core Controller into his bag, thinking to himself. He had made enough enemies in his territory and didn’t want to offend this woman further, because he noticed that Han Siying had great respect for this female player. This suggested that the female player known as ’Drizzling Rain’ was incredibly powerful!

After a moment of contemplation, Su Ran headed to the administrative hall, intending to exchange his newly acquired spoils for some financial value in case of emergency.

"Congratulations, my lord, on your victorious battle!"

Seeing Su Ran enter, Little Stone rushed excitedly towards him, grabbing his skeletal arm, groused, "Why didn’t you use my trap skills, my lord? We could negotiate the price..."

"Cough, Stone, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You continue practicing, and when your skill proficiency increases, the power of your traps will too!"

Su Ran patted the top of Little Stone’s skull, laughing softly.

"But, the price will be higher then."

Little Stone innocently pointed out, adamantly emphasizing the price.

Uh...

He said nothing.

Su Ran let out an exasperated sigh. He was experiencing firsthand what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. Why had he stupidly taught him all these things?!

"Stop this nonsense! Apologize to Lord right now!"

Steward Liu hurried over, gave Little Stone a stern look, and chided, "For the sake of our village, our Lord put himself in danger and battled in the chaos all by himself, annihilating a large enemy force! Such courage! Such valour!"

Hearing this, Su Ran felt a bit embarrassed.

"Liu Shitou! Instead of contributing to the territory, you haggle over the price with our heroic lord! Total disgrace!"

Steward Liu was so furious his non-existent beard might as well be standing on end.

"My Lord, Little Stone is still young, please do not take it to heart. How about this? As the elder I will act as the mediator. Going forward, whenever my lord needs Little Stone to set traps, there will be a 20% discount. How does that sound?"

Su Ran didn’t know how to respond.

Steward’s Liu righteous words just turned back to pricing. Watching these two skeletons, one large and one small, Spar with each other, Su Ran felt an overwhelming urge to storm out.

Forget it, no need to stoop to their level. Acting on impulse is the devil...

Su Ran comforted himself.

"Steward Liu, everyone is busy, and time is valuable, let’s not go off on tangents. Let’s focus on the main task. Here, help me exchange these items into financial values to prepare for the potential construction in our territory."

Su Ran vaguely expressed, waving his hands, motioning the two skeletons to make room, creating space.

"Crash."

Su Ran threw a heap of equipment onto the ground, quickly creating a small mountain. The various pieces of equipment emitted a brilliant light, nearly blinding the titanium compound eye sockets of the two skeletons.

"Wow, my lord, you’re amazing, you’ve managed to get so many high-grade pieces of equipment!"

Little Stone shouted excitedly, jumping into the pile of equipment, joyfully holding several pieces.

"My lord, may I be so bold as to ask: were your ancestors blacksmiths?"

Liu Shitou had already gotten used to exchanging such large amounts of equipment. But what surprised it was the short interval between Su Ran’s acquisitions. It seemed incredible!

"Blacksmithing? That hard labor isn’t for me! Steward Liu, you should stop worrying about useless things and get to work. We’re all very busy."

Su Ran responded impatiently. His gaze fell on the heap of equipment. The reason for the equipment’s number was due to accumulated items in the Demon Domain, additional gifts from Sister Wan’er, a contribution from desert bats and finally a large variety from the spoils of war. It was impossible for him not to have this many pieces!

"There are 25 level 40 silver equipment, 79 bronze equipment, 36 level 30 silver equipment, 162 bronze equipment, and 353 black iron equipment,"

As a Steward appointed by the system, Liu managed to quickly sort through the mountain of equipment, clearly categorizing each piece," My Lord, you’ve obtained a total of 92,290 financial points this time, congratulations, my lord!"

"Swish!"

Steward Liu placed his skeletal hand on the vast array of equipment. With a swish, a black ray of light covered it, and all the equipment suddenly disappeared.

"Amazing skill!"

Su Ran’s eyes narrowed. This method of collecting equipment was something he could never achieve. As the black light faded, Su Ran glanced at Steward Liu again, increasingly impressed by his hidden abilities.

"Over 90,000 financial points... All the points spent previously including the 50k points spent on the construction of Heaven and Earth Bank, were regained. Excellent, excellent!"

Su Ran grinned, pleased with the earnings from this battle.

"My lord, have you thought about upgrading the territory?"

Steward Liu looked hopefully at Su Ran. In his opinion, the territory was fully capable of resisting monster sieges! Upgrading it to level five should be no problem!

"Level five territory? Well, that’s not an urgent matter. Let’s wait until the village is stronger."

Su Ran looked disappointed and without hesitation, immediately rejected the idea. He had enough trouble dealing with the player invasions, let alone having monster sieges. That would be a real-life nightmare!

"Improving the territory isn’t difficult, my lord. You could upgrade the city wall to level five, where the tower building will appear. Skeleton guards within the tower will significantly increase the attack range and damage! The most important thing is, it greatly improves the skeleton guards’ defense!"

Steward Liu sneakily shared some insider information with Su Ran. He was eager to see the territory prosper. Only when the territory rose would his status buoy upward!

"Upgrade the city walls? Let’s forget about that. I’m not a fool!"

No sooner had this idea come to Su Ran than it evaporated. Who could afford to spend 1 million financial points?!

"My lord, you can exchange underworld coins for financial points. One underworld coin equals 10 financial points. Surely, you haven’t forgotten that?"

Steward Liu looked at Su Ran in confusion, unable to comprehend his reaction.

"But I don’t have many Under...wait, Heaven and Earth Bank!"

Su Ran’s eyes lit up. He could exchange gold coins for underworld coins at the bank!

But then again, he didn’t have a lot of gold coins...

Su Ran finally saw Steward Liu’s true colors. His subtext was very clear - time to top up, bro...
