Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 823 - 745: Shadow Stone Acquired

"Huh?"

Surprised, Su Ran discovered that the light rain was actually flying towards the mountain peak. He quickly hid behind a tombstone, concealing himself thoroughly, afraid of exposing his presence.

The conversation between the light rain and her subordinates was inaudible to him due to the low volume and the noisy surroundings, Su Ran didn’t catch a single word. Unable to guess why the light rain flew to the top of the mountain, he speculated in silence.

That’s when his connected phone rang, and Su Ran knew it was Yu Jing calling.

"Hello, Sister Ting, what’s brought you to call me?"

When Su Ran answered, his voice revealed a hint of surprise.

"Little Brother Su, I missed you! Are you in the game?"

Yu Jing’s voice was always full of charm, making one’s thoughts drift even during idle chatter.

"I am."

"Hurry back to the territory, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

After Su Ran replied and hung up the phone, he quickly took off all his equipment, revealing a skeletal frame, which made him feel much lighter.

"Swoosh!"

Utilizing the Instant Movement feature of the Core Controller, Su Ran appeared within his territory. The moment he stepped out of Skeleton Village, he saw Yu Jing standing in the distance.

"Creak creak."

Approaching her, Su Ran shook his bony arm and cocked his head as he looked at Yu Jing, the Bone Soul Ghost Fire in his eye sockets signaling confusion.

"Look at my memory, you can’t talk in the game."

Yu Jing couldn’t help but want to laugh at Su Ran’s adorably dazed appearance. "Little Brother Su, come here and let me touch your head."

"..."

Su Ran shuddered, instinctively stepping back a few paces, not daring to approach any closer.

Are you kidding me? My head’s shiny and spotless, why would you need to touch it?

"All right, I’ll stop teasing you, come here, you’re still such a little boy, can’t take a joke at all!"

Yu Jing giggled, her slender fingers beckoning towards Su Ran’s direction. Every move she made was filled with endless seduction, which made Su Ran even more cautious.

Maybe this woman has a thing for skeletons?

"Creak creak, creak creak."

Su Ran stood in place and waved his hands, indicating that she could go ahead and speak.

"Sigh, so many men are trying to get close to me, and here you are, just not getting it. I don’t know what my sister saw in you, you’re such a blockhead!"

Yu Jing rolled her eyes helplessly and then continued, "I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Good news, bad news?

Su Ran froze for a moment, then gestured with one finger, regardless of good or bad news, better to be happy first!

"Little Brother Su, you really do pick the better option!"

Yu Jing looked at Su Ran’s shiny skull with a smile, "The Shadow Stone you asked me to find, I’ve dug it up for you."

Shadow Stone?

Su Ran faltered, and the Bone Soul Ghost Fire in his eye sockets flared wildly with excitement as he danced around, the sound of clicking resonating from his mouth.

As for why Su Ran was so excited, it was because he remembered the butler telling him that with the Shadow Stone, one could summon thousands of demons with a single thought on the Demonic Treasure Mountain!

And now that I had control of the Core Controller for all demons, all that was missing was this key artifact, the Shadow Stone!

Once I controlled the Shadow Stone, the defensive power of my territory would greatly increase!

"Little Brother Su, how can you be so unsettled, look at how excited you’ve gotten?!"

Yu Jing glanced at Su Ran, smilingly asked, "Little Brother Su, how do you plan to thank me?"

"Ka-ka-ka."

Su Ran calmed down and replied immediately. At this moment, he secretly felt relieved in his heart. As for such tricky questions, replying with ka-ka noises didn’t have any downside.

"Talking to you is really exhausting!"

Yu Jing pouted her lips, then her eyes shone brightly, "How about you treat me and my little sister to a meal, what do you say? Two great beauties accompanying you for dinner, you are getting quite the bargain, kiddo~!"

Su Ran’s face heated with embarrassment.

With no other choice, since he was under their roof, he had to bow his head. Su Ran hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head. With Yu Jing at his side, this woman ought to be a bit more restrained.

"Ah ha, it’s a deal then, I’ll tell my little sister tonight to get in touch with you right away, hehe, scoring a meal just like that, I’m so happy~!"

Yu Jing was like a little fox that had scored a deal and still acted cute, her eyes narrowing into slits.

Su Ran’s gaze turned directly to the ground, adopting an out of sight, out of mind stance. In his view, had this woman been in ancient times, she certainly would’ve been a femme fatale!

"The Shadow Stone is on Miner No. 01, hurry up and retrieve it, let your sister have a look first."

Yu Jing didn’t make things overly difficult for Su Ran, and directly told him the news about the Shadow Stone.

Su Ran nodded and vanished from the mountaintop with an Instant Movement.

"..."

Watching the direction in which Su Ran disappeared, Yu Jing’s smile gradually faded, and her eyes started to look complicated.

Yu Jing had already made arrangements; Miner No.01 didn’t give Su Ran a hard time, allowing him to smoothly gain ownership of the Shadow Stone.

After teleporting back to his territory, Su Ran handed the Shadow Stone over to Yu Jing without a word.

"Little Brother Su, you really trust your sister, aren’t you afraid she might be tempted to keep this treasure for herself?"

Yu Jing chuckled lightly and continued to tease, "Miner No. 01 said that this stone has some incredible abilities, it even made me a bit tempted. Tell you what, Little Brother Su, why not just give it to your sister as a gift?"

Su Ran quickly shook his head, so violently that his neck made a cracking noise.

"Look how scared you got, can’t even take a joke!" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Yu Jing rolled her eyes at Su Ran, then her gaze fell upon the black-brown stone in her hand.

"Eh?"

Yu Jing’s expression changed dramatically in an instant; her mouth agape, shock clearly visible in her eyes.

"Sly Little Brother Su, did you already know the attributes of the Shadow Stone? I knew it! You’ve got the Core Controller in your possession! No wonder that clause was required when signing the system contract, you are quite shrewd!"

Reluctantly shifting her gaze away, Yu Jing said somewhat sullenly, "Had I known this before, I wouldn’t have signed that darn contract with you; then this treasure would’ve been mine, right?!"

"So this mountain is actually the legendary Demonic Treasure Mountain; you’ve kept this pretty well hidden! Eh? Wasn’t it said that Demonic Treasure Mountain is in the Ancient Wasteland? How come it’s appeared in a newbie map? Really strange!"

Yu Jing curiously tapped the ground with her foot, her puzzled eyes turned towards Su Ran, hoping to get some answers from him.

"Ka-ka, ka-ka-ka."

Su Ran spoke earnestly, coloring his expression perfectly to the situation.

"..."

Yu Jing suddenly found herself at a loss for words, feeling even more that Su Ran was doing this to deliberately irritate her.
