Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 777 - 699: Achievement of Becoming a Billionaire

"Is this man crazy? Daring to challenge the great God Overturning Water?"

"Who is this guy making such a rousing call? He even hid his name!"

"Why didn’t he show himself when the foreigner was here? Now he’s acting tough. All he knows how to do is cause internal strife!"

The players loved a good show. They understood that anyone bold enough to challenge the great God Overturning Water in the Arena of Life and Death was not just a nobody. These three unexpected announcements were like a bolt from the blue, sparking their curiosity. They flocked to the Arena, ready for the spectacle.

Who cares about missions, plotlines or leveling up? All that can wait!

"Did you hear that, Overturning Water? Someone has publicly challenged you to a duel in the Arena of Life and Death. Who wouldn’t go is a loser!"

Nan Qiang laughed loudly, obviously finding it entertaining to see Su Ran in such a situation.

"Really? Let me check."

When he opened the chat box and looked at the regional noticeboard, sure enough, a player who had concealed his name had issued three challenges. Without a doubt, all were aimed at him.

"Who has so much free time? Absolutely stuffed!"

This unsurprisingly took Su Ran aback. He hadn’t offended anyone... wait, could it be him?

Crane That Doesn’t Dance!

"Obviously, it’s Crane. He had been clamoring for a duel in the Arena of Life and Death back at the auction. You must have upset him with all the attention you’ve been getting."

Nan Qiang laughed with a hint of condescension in his voice. To him, Crane That Doesn’t Dance had lost all his former prestige, reduced to a mere clown.

"Be careful, Overturning Water. A dog that will bite doesn’t bark. If Crane That Doesn’t Dance is trying so hard to bait you, he must have something up his sleeve."

Bei Diao was more cautious and prudent, "A public duel... He must be confident that he could beat you, or else he wouldn’t dare to suggest it. As for his trump card..."

"Could it be that extra mask he’s been wearing?"

Nan Qiang interjected. He felt that there was something odd about that mask, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it, so he brought it up while Bei Diao was considering the possibilities.

"A mask? That’s possible. Even his armor seems unusual; it’s not just any common item. This guy must have had some extraordinary fortune recently. Just the fact that he managed to obtain five dark gold equipment items proves that."

Bei Diao’s expression turned serious after being reminded of that by Nan Qiang. "My advice, Overturning Water, is to steer clear this time. He must be fully prepared for this!"

"Nonsense! You’re being overly cautious. He’s not even a shadow of his former self. Even if he lucked out and got some excellent equipment, so what? As soon as he faces me, I’ll crush him!"

Nan Qiang clearly didn’t think much of him. He was a shield warrior and a direct counter to Crane’s class, so he spoke with utter confidence.

"Don’t underestimate anyone, especially someone like him who has been one of the top players in the Heavenly List!"

Bei Diao shook his folding fan, insisting on his own opinion.

"Let’s not make wild guesses here. Let’s go to the Arena of Life and Death and see. What if it’s not him? He even hid his name, could just be a coward trying to gain fame by using Overturning Water!"

Nan Qiang was a restless soul. He couldn’t stay still in the bank for another minute.

"Then you two go on and check it out. Help me gather some information on the enemy. I’m going to withdraw some cash. Things are tight at home."

Su Ran said with a smile. To him, money wasn’t really his until it was in his bank account. Who knows if these gold coins will depreciate or not, better to have them in his pocket first!

"Hmph! You’re a multi-millionaire now, and still claiming to be broke. What a pretender! We’re heading off. See you later!"

Nan Qiang looked at Su Ran with disdain, then dragged Bei Diao away.

When they had disappeared from sight, Su Ran sat down with an excited heart. He surreptitiously surveyed his surroundings, making sure no one had their eyes on him before he whispered to the NPC, "Can you help me exchange 2.6 million gold coins, please?"

"Hello, since this is the second time you’re exchanging gold coins, you won’t have the benefit of a free transaction and you’d need to pay a 1% tax to complete the transaction. Are you aware of that?"

The NPC had a professional smile on his face. The message was clear—no tax, no money!

They have such a rule, too? Damn it!

Su Ran fell silent for a moment before accepting the condition. He had no choice. You have to bow your head under someone else’s roof...

The bank’s efficiency was impressive. In no time at all, 25,740,000 was deposited in his account.

Su Ran let out a sigh at that. All that fortune did was change locations, and he had already lost 26,000...

Still, this couldn’t dampen the joy of becoming a millionaire. He was already itching to log off and share the good news with his mom. Just imagining her excited, happy face made him giddy.

Getting his dad home, buying a big house, and living a prosperous life with his family sounded like a dream. But it was a dream that was so close he could taste it!

Su Ran was filled with hope for his future. Once his health improved, he would be the happiest man in the world!

But right at this moment, a friend’s message alert interrupted Su Ran’s train of thought, bringing him back to reality.

"Overturning Water, did you really get a Resurrection spell? Is this true?"

It was Little Yue who had sent the message.

"Of course it’s true. How did you know?"

Su Ran hesitated, recalling the scene at the auction house and it all made sense.

"It’s all over the forum. If I didn’t know, I’d be no better than a fool."

Little Yue replied with some vexation, her heart filled with a bit of disappointment.

"Hehe, lucky me. I got the Resurrection spell from a quest. Since Little Yue has already got the skill, I didn’t give it to her. The price was right, so I sold it."

Su Ran frankly admitted that he had no intention of hiding anything. What he wanted to do at the moment was to share his joy of getting rich with people around him. In other words, he wanted to flaunt his wealth.

"You’re wise. Even if you offered, Little Yue wouldn’t dare accept it. Worth millions of gold coins, that skill! Wait, wait, you said you already sold it?"

"Yeah, I sold it for millions of gold coins."

"Oh my, no wonder you didn’t need this silver robe. You no longer need the money! Unacceptable, we need to charge the rich. You must treat us!"

"Sure, sure."

"Hey, wait. The forum says you’ve been blacklisted by the auction house. How did you sell it?"

"I have my ways. Business can’t be stopped just because the auction house is out of the question."

"Alright then. I was worrying for nothing."

There was a moment of silence before Little Yue’s voice came through again, filled with worry, "For the Arena of Life and Death challenge, consider it thrice first before you act."
