Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 793 - 715: It’s Snowing

"Something’s not right!"

The more Su Ran observed the surroundings, the more it felt off-putting. The terrain in front of him looked as if it had been plowed by a tractor. Judging by this situation, he guessed that quite a number of players had been here exploring for treasure.

"These players are really desperate..."

Su Ran exclaimed, yet he conveniently overlooked the fact that he was the first one to squeeze into this hole.

"This place is no longer safe, it’s no longer suitable to place a teleportation array."

However, just as Su Ran was hesitating, intermittent sounds emerged from the upward passage, causing him to jolt in surprise.

"Someone’s coming!"

Su Ran, unwilling to cause trouble, quickly moved to the corner, using Wang Cai to conceal his appearance.

"Thump!"

"Ouch, my tailbone!"

Two consecutive sounds of falling, followed by two players’ cries of pain.

"Getting to this damn place ain’t easy!"

A player dressed as a warrior stood up, rubbing his buttocks as he complained, "Every time I come to this place, I have to fall once, my ass is almost split into three parts!"

"Alas, we don’t have a choice since we can’t fly. Bear with it. This isn’t reality; we’ll recover in a moment."

The other player, a mage with a lighter body, had not fallen as grievously as the warrior, and had quickly recovered to normal.

"Grilled Kidney, is that piece of news you told me real or fake? Is there really treasure in this map?"

The warrior player asked with a confused look, "We’ve turned this place over several times and haven’t come up with anything!"

"Lamb Kebab, you’re impatient!"

The mage looked around, "The system has set up such a special terrain, not even a single monster has respawned. Don’t you think that’s weird? There’s a reason it’s hidden in such a concealed location!"

Faced with these two players’ bizarre names, Su Ran suddenly felt a pang of hunger.

Poisoning in the middle of the night, how damaging!

However, when he heard the word "treasure", Su Ran almost couldn’t help but laugh.

Hehe...

I’ve already taken everything, the boss and the treasure. Even if you two turn this place upside down, you won’t find anything!

"Well, I’ll accompany you tonight, and if we don’t find anything, I’m done serving you!"

The warrior player reluctantly pulled out a hoe, and started digging first.

"Hmph, it’s better if you don’t come. If any treasure appears, it’s all mine!"

...

"Forget it, log out, sleep!"

Su Ran, who originally planned to place the teleportation array before logging out, lost the mood to play due to the two of them. So he simply logged out.

"Meow~"

Little Ran had been napping next to the gaming pod, sleeping soundly. But at the sound, his head immediately perked up, and when Su Ran emerged from the pod, Little Ran let out an excited meow and leapt into his owner’s arms.

It was now midnight, and his mother was already asleep. Su Ran didn’t dare to make too much noise, so after a bit of fun with Little Ran, he went out to take care of personal hygiene. Then he crawled into bed, set aside his thoughts, and fell asleep after a while.

Early morning.

Heavy snow was falling all over, covering the ground. The world within view was dressed in a pure white coat, free from any impurities.

"It feels like the New Year..."

Su Ran sighed deeply, his thoughts racing. Amidst the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, his mood had evidently improved a lot.

"Hehe, not bad. Living another day is earning another day. What’s there to be unsatisfied about?"

Everything has two sides. As long as you take it lightly, even the coldest winter will welcome the fragrance of spring.

"Haha, that’s right. I’m already a millionaire, why am I still feeling down? Sir, give yourself a laugh!"

Su Ran glanced at his numb left arm, laughed cheerfully and said, "Ever since I started playing ’Gods and Demons Conflict’, my condition has stabilized and there are no signs of deterioration. Just for this point alone, I’m already content!"

"Meow~"

Sensing that his owner was in a good mood, Little Ran also started to cheer excitedly.

Humming a little tune, Su Ran, holding Little Ran, couldn’t wait to share the joy with his mother.

"Huh?"

Su Ran walked around the room but couldn’t find his mother’s figure. The food was covered in the pot, and the heat was still escaping, apparently his mother had just left not long ago. But where could she go in such cold weather? This confused Su Ran.

"Did mom go to the morning market? That can’t be. It’s snowing so heavily, who would set up a stall?"

Just as Su Ran was losing himself in thought, the front door opened, and his mother, full of snowflakes, walked in. Her face was red from the cold, and her cotton shoes were pretty wet.

"Little Ran, why are you up so early?"

Su’s mother stamped the snow off her shoes at the door, closed the door forcefully, locked it simultaneously, and then successfully kept the cold outside the house.

"Hurry up and wash your face, I’ll serve you food right away."

"Mom, what were you doing outside? With the snow falling so heavily, aren’t you afraid of the cold?"

Su Ran moved forward and looked at his mother’s appearance decorated by wind and snow, he felt a twinge of heartache.

"Ah, I just went out to shovel snow. Moving around kept me warm! I cleared out a path at the door, so it won’t get compacted by anyone walking by and become difficult to clean later."

His mother unconsciously rubbed her slightly red palms and said with a smile, "Son, go sit at the table, I’ll serve you food!"

Su Ran suddenly felt choked up with a thousand words in his heart, and it was uncomfortable.

"Mom, let’s move house!)

This was the second time Su Ran brought up the idea of moving. He didn’t want his mother to live a tough life because of his care.

Su’s mother was stunned.

Then she forced a smile and said to Su Ran, "Why bring up this topic out of the blue?"

"I’m capable of taking care of you now. Let’s call dad back and live in a new house, wouldn’t that be great?"

Su Ran felt he couldn’t wait any longer. All the money at home had been used for his medical treatment. Now his condition had stabilized, and the home began to live a good life, there was no need to suffer.

As soon as his father was mentioned, Su’s mother trembled all over and hurried to the kitchen, "Let’s talk about it after your college entrance exam!"

Why wait until after the college entrance exam?

Su Ran frowned, is there a secret he didn’t know about?

After the meal, Su Ran, exceptionally, did not play the game, but looked at Su’s mother seriously, "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"

"You kid, what could your mother hide from you? Have you played so much that you’re thinking nonsense? Use that energy to review your textbook instead. The college entrance exam is in a few months, you can’t spend all your time playing games! The college entrance exam is a turning point in your life, you have to take it seriously!"

Su’s mother said in exasperation, got up, and started cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks without saying more.

"Mom, sit down for a minute. I have something to tell you. A big piece of good news!"

Su Ran changed the subject, pulled his mother back to the stool with his right hand, grinned and laughed, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
