Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 676 - 631: Jiu Kong Appears on the Earthly List

"Hey, Overturning Water, are you even listening?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Upon seeing Su Ran lost in thought while looking at the arena, the heartthrob hadn’t been able to resist asking.

"Huh? What did you just say? I didn’t catch that."

Su Ran snapped back to reality and turned to look at the heartthrob.

"I asked, when you came here, did you notice anyone following you?"

The heartthrob was very worried– she knew Su Ran was in a tough spot amongst the Human Race. Several guilds were hunting him down heavily, yet he had casually appeared in the Imperial City. Even though the Imperial City was mostly safe, unnecessary trouble could still arise.

"Oh that? Folks are too busy watching the arena right now. Who’s got the time to target me? As long as this arena fight doesn’t end, I guess I’m safe for now."

Su Ran replied nonchalantly. The most dangerous place is often the safest—truly, no player would risk getting arrested for attacking him in the Imperial City. He was fairly confident about this.

"If that’s the case, all is well."

The heartthrob smiled happily at Su Ran and asked, "Hey Overturning Water, how much do you think this Ghost Device might be worth?"

"Hmm... hard to say."

Turning his eyes to the Arena of Life and Death, Su Ran focused on the Ghost Head Hook and said softly, "It’s priceless if it’s useful; worthless if it’s not."

"That’s exactly what I consider. When the ghost world map opens, the value of this weapon will rise, storing it now to capitalize upon its future appreciation seems appropriate. I guess a lot of the players around here have the same idea."

Taking advantage of the continuing commotion around them, the heartthrob quietly asked, "So what are you planning to do about the Copper Thread Coin...?"

"If I can get it, that’s great. If not, it’s not something I can force."

Su Ran was pretty relaxed. He intended to use the player’s actions to gauge the strength of this foreigner, and then make his plan accordingly.

Arena of Life and Death.

"Stacey, why didn’t your brother teach you some humility? Don’t take on the work without the skills! Let me put it out there. My appearance fee is quite high—don’t even think about it if it’s less than ten thousand gold coins. If you can’t afford it, scram!"

The ice mage shouted sternly, his face full of impatience. It seemed as if he’d come not to fight but to mock the foreigner.

"..."

Stacey, for the first time, truly experienced embarrassment. He stood on the Arena of Life and Death with the Ghost Head Hook in hand, looking rather troubled and unable to utter a single word.

"Forget it, Young Master Fa, don’t be too hard on him. He’s a guest after all, let’s just make him kowtow a few times and let him off. It would seem too mean if we push him too hard!"

"Yeah! And don’t forget to give back the Red-faced Tiger’s gear. Trying to take advantage of our Huaxia region? Dream on!"

"Stacey, your brother’s waiting for you in the toilet. Go quickly~ Let’s flush both of you together~ Hahaha!"

Just as the players were fiercely spraying insults, a man dressed in white walked up to the stage and laughed loudly, "Young Master Fa, don’t give him too hard a time. It’s not easy for him after such a long journey. Let me handle it from here, I’ll take care of him!"

"Who the hell are you? You’re pretty gutsy, even daring to order Young Master Fa around. Be careful he doesn’t make things tough for you in the game..."

Upon hearing this, the player next to the man in white could hold back no longer. His mocking words uncontrollably sprouted from his mouth. But when he saw the young eagle on the shoulder of the man in white, he shut up abruptly, shouted in surprise, "Golden Eagle Surging! You... you’re the ice mage Jiu Kong from the Earthly List!"

The man in white turned around in surprise, smiled warmly at the reckless player, and nodded slightly. This action immediately evoked a wave of cheering from the nearby players.

"Great God Jiu Kong, quickly go up there and beat this foreigner down. Let him see how powerful our Huaxia masters can be!"

"The top player from the Earthly List has appeared. There’s a good show to watch now!"

"Damn, I think the blood boiling in my body is due to him, spooky!"

"Brother Jiu Kong, slaughter this kid, show no mercy!"

The cheers of the players rose wave after wave, as if they were welcoming their king, their excitement was beyond words.

After some time, when the gamers in the audience seat finally calmed down, Young Master Fa on the stage finally started talking, "So it’s you, Great God Jiu Kong. Look at your popularity, it’s like a big celebrity has arrived, truly making others envious. If I don’t give you the stage, I’ll be jeered at by the brothers below. Fine, for your sake, I’ll let this foreigner off. But having said that, facing you, he’s just bad luck."

Having finished, Young Master Fa turned his gaze to the frustrated Stacey, and with noticeable interest said, "This time, I’ll let you off, but you won’t be so lucky next time."

As his voice fell, Young Master Fa jumped down from the arena with great fanfare, once again causing a cheer from the crowd.

As for the ice mage, Jiu Kong, he gradually made his way up the stairs, unlike the showy Young Master Fa, he looked incredibly steady.

"How do you want to bet?"

This time, Stacey showed humility regarding the bet.

"Bet on that Ghost Head Hook you have. I like it. As for its value, I won’t rip you off—1000 gold. Are you in?"

Jiu Kong looked at Stacey with a smile, quietly waiting for his response.

"You... you’re pushing it! The Ghost Head Hook, comparable to the Divine Weapon, and you want to match it with just 1000 gold. You’re dreaming!"

Stacey roared angrily, his chest rising and falling rapidly, feeling as if he himself had been insulted, he resolved to defend the only dignity he had left.

"Pew, what an ingrate! That broken weapon of yours, I think 100 gold coins is too much, Brother Jiu Kong’s offer of 1000 gold coins is already giving you face, you really can’t appreciate!"

"Brother Jiu Kong, you’re just too kind-hearted. Personally, I’d just kick him off the stage, why bother speaking to him!"

"Your temper’s too hot, haven’t you heard Brother Jiu Kong say he likes this weapon!"

"If you won’t compare this and compare that, you’d better just go, stop making a fool of yourself out here!"

Hearing the impatient voices of the crowd below, Stacey was so angry that his whole body was shaking, with anger rising in his heart and the veins on both sides of his temples bulging. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the inconspicuous ring on his finger flashed again.

Stacey lowered his head, covering the ring with his hand. Instantly, all his anger disappeared without a trace, even his breathing had calmed.

"Huh?"

Seeing Stacey’s drastic change and increased aggression, Jiu Kong couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

"I accept this wager!"

Stacey slowly lifted his head, shooting sharp rays from his eyes, straight at the ice mage, Jiu Kong.
