Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 753 - 676: Dark Gold Necklace

"Chirp~!"

The Firebird cried out as it landed on the ground, its fire fully retracted.

Mr. Milky jumped off the bird’s back and walked up to Wu Laoer, saying sincerely, "Congratulations, Lord, for the eradication of the scourge, revenge has been served, and the divine pet has returned. Truly a cause for celebration!"

"Your sweet-talk doesn’t go unnoticed, little lady."

Wu Laoer nodded in satisfaction, his mood noticeably improved.

Seeing that curry favor with Wu Laoer seemed to be effective, Big Smoky’s eyes instantly brightened. He hurried over to Wu Laoer, and with a beaming smile, said, "Honorable Lord..."

"Scram."

"Yes."

Sticking to his amiable smile, Big Smoky jogged back to Youtong’s side.

"Smoky, why do I feel the urge to break up with you is getting stronger?"

Youtong looked at Big Smoky with a stern gaze, feeling like she was about to set a new record for quickest breakup.

Hearing this, Big Smoky crumbled to his knees.

...

Hoping to avoid Big Smoky, Su Ran made his way down. He noticed that Wu Laoer placed great emphasis on seeming important, standing above his head would surely have been a major taboo!

"After my elder brother’s death, a lot of relics dropped. You can take them, but... "

At this, Wu Laoer paused and assessed the faces of Mr. Milky and Su Ran. However, seeing as they were both either veiled or masked, he realized that his usual tactics wouldn’t work and dropped the matter.

Summoning his composure, Wu Laoer continued, "Now that I have obtained the Secret Realm Horn, I must ensure the safety of the people. The carcass of the Magic Sky Snake is already in my possession, you only need to give me the carcass of the Ant Queen. You can take all the relics; they’re a nuisance to me."

"..."

Mr. Milky and Su Ran were rendered speechless.

Wu Laoer had some nerve!

Demanding vital items in exchange for unwanted relics, it was frustrating to watch gear disappear if they didn’t trade.

Su Ran suspected, with Wu Laoer’s cunning, why hadn’t he obtained the position of city lord?

Immediately, Su Ran understood that it was all following the game script. Wu Laoer’s current fortune was purely due to luck and fortunate encounters with their team, finally allowed him to seize the opportunity to exert some authority.

"Lord, what if we don’t have the Ant Queen’s carcass?"

Seeing Su Ran’s unease, Mr. Milky asked probing for potential alternatives.

"No carcasses? Then trade the Ghost Weapon!"

Wu Laoer laughed scornfully. He had long been coveting the Ghost Weapon that his elder brother had forged, but had refrained from showing any indication of it.

"My Lord, here is the carcass of the Sword Eel Golden Pattern Ant Queen that you requested."

Without hesitation, Su Ran pulled out the Ant Queen’s carcass. Asking him to surrender the Ghost Weapon? Absolutely not!

"Good, good, good!"

Upon seeing the Ant Queen’s carcass, Wu Laoer chuckled aloud, "So the carcass was in your hands after all! Ha! Once we have both carcasses, we can fully unlock the power of the Secret Realm Horn! Warriors, I, on behalf of the people of Cloud City, thank you!"

"No need for thanks, my Lord, please hurry and withdraw your Ant forces."

Youtong moved gracefully, hands holding the hem of her dress, the picture of elegance.

This time Big Smoky learned his lesson; he patiently stayed at the back of the team and despite longing to move, he remained firmly rooted in place. He had realized a life lesson; a girlfriend could replace the Fifth Lady, but could equipment do the same?

"Warriors, I’ll take my leave first. I will see you in the Cloud City square."

Wu Laoer withdrew his ant forces and left the training grounds. In no time, the room was emptier.

"Wow, superior gear, here I come!"

Catching sight of the glittering gear in the distance, Youtong couldn’t suppress her excitement. She whooped and sprinted over to the scattered pieces of equipment.

Big Smoky watched on with wide eyes as Youtong picked up the pieces one by one, involuntarily swallowing.

"Overturning Water, I’m confused about the connection between these golden ants and Wu Laoer. A few words were enough to rally their loyalty. I suspect the ants’ assistance isn’t solely because of the crown."

Mr. Milky didn’t rush to inspect the spoils, instead directing his question to Su Ran.

"Who cares what their relationship is? There’s no point overthinking. The mission is complete anyway. Even if we got manipulated by Wu Laoer, it doesn’t concern us."

Su Ran replied nonchalantly. It didn’t matter to him, an outsider, who was in charge of Cloud City.

"Well, you’re right. I’ve played so many dungeons but never had your maturity! The game is so realistic, I get too involved in the storyline..."

Mr. Milky was cut off by Youtong’s scream.

"Wow, a Dark Gold necklace!"

Youtong’s delighted voice drew everyone’s attention. The news invigorated the team, they hurried towards the spot where the city lord had perished. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Where? Where? Youtong, let me see first!"

Big Smoky hurried over to Youtong and stared at the bronze necklace. The unique design certainly caught the eye, especially the sparkling sword pendant that showcased the necklace’s uniqueness. He wished he could hold it in his hands right away.

"Look at you, about to have your eyes pop out. It’s not like you’ve never seen gear before!"

Youtong gave Big Smoky a sidelong glance, her tone brimming with irritation. However, she didn’t indulge Big Smoky but instead passed the necklace to Mr. Milky, laughing, "Milky, we scored big this time in the dungeon! Haha, Overturning Water is truly our lucky star!"

"Indeed, we owe it to Overturning Water. He risked himself to prevent the city lord from wielding the Ghost Weapon. Otherwise, we’d probably be back in town respawning by now!"

Mr. Milky acknowledged Su Ran’s contributions, "Overturning Water, you’re undeniably the MVP of this dungeon. You will be awarded 10,000 guild points and a promotion to the position of Hall Master. Any objections, everyone?"

"Overturning Water is our lucky charm, who’d object!"

"Hall Master Overturning Water, good job! You’ve worked hard~!"

"When is the Hall Master going dungeon raiding again with us? If we keep running the Cloud City dungeon, won’t we all have Dark Gold gear? Hahaha, just the thought is thrilling!"

"Keep daydreaming!"

The group chuckled making for a joyful atmosphere. After experiencing a life-or-death battle, their team’s cohesion had significantly increased, which was exactly what Mr. Milky had hoped for.

"Who has an appraisal charm? Let’s appraise this necklace right away. Whoever it suits can use it."

After assigning Su Ran’s reward, Mr. Milky finally turned the conversation to the Dark Gold level necklace. It was evident that her expectations for it were high.
