"Ah, my dear mother, I nearly crapped myself!"

The player rolled on the ground, finally coming to a stop with some effort, struggling to get up with an X-shaped stance, clutching his buttocks and wailing non-stop.

"Hey, hey, hey, is it really necessary to be so dramatic?"

Su Ran just couldn’t stand it any longer, a grown man, and a burly one at that, unable to handle a bit of pain— it was truly embarrassing.

When the Lin sisters fell down before, they didn’t show such frailty, yet this guy’s buttocks, his fat would have bounced!

"Aiya, there are actually people here?"

The chubby player was startled by the sudden outburst from Su Ran, nearly bouncing up from the ground, but then he gave up the exaggerated motion, thinking of his body’s weight.

"Cough cough... I was wondering why I couldn’t find a single monster here, turns out you got here first!"

The chubby player coughed a few times to cover his inner embarrassment, then tried to stand in a more manly way, even his stance turning outward.

After finishing, the chubby player paused deliberately, scrutinizing Su Ran with a suspicious gaze, "Judging by your outfit, you’re another fan of ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’, right? Even your pet is a skul... holy cow, why do you have so many?"

"Could it be... you really are ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’?"

The more the chubby player spoke, the more he became excited, his eyes filling with fervor, getting so agitated that his flabby flesh trembled.

"Whatever you say."

Su Ran had no interest in discussing identity issues with this person and turned her attention back to the ground.

"My God, you really are ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’!"

Seeing Su Ran’s indifferent demeanor, the chubby player felt his chance had come, let out an excited yell, trotted over to Su Ran, and eagerly shouted, "Spilt Water God, I beg you to carry me along!"

"Get lost!"

For some reason, Su Ran conjured up an image of himself being hugged around the leg by a fat man, being incessantly nuzzled with his cheeks, which instantly caused a surge of revulsion.

"Sorry, really sorry, I was a bit offensive earlier due to the excitement, don’t take it to heart! Seeing how young you are, ’Spilt Water’, and the reputation you’ve made, you really are a young hero! The gaming world has become a playground for the youth, I can’t help but admire it!"

Although the chubby player was coarse, he was observant, and upon seeing Su Ran’s annoyed look, he instantly changed his tone from a brainless fan to a greasy uncle.

"Spilt Water, bro, what are you up to? Can you tell me about it? I’ll help you out, and rest assured, even if treasures come out, I won’t ask for a penny, I’d be happy just to broaden my horizons!"

Seeing that Su Ran was ignoring him, the chubby player took the initiative to close the distance, spontaneously introducing a sense of camaraderie by calling him "Spilt Water, bro," and showing goodwill.

However, Su Ran still didn’t pay him any heed. Ever since knowing about the chubby player’s bad habits, he resolved to keep a distance from this person to avoid his success. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Spilt Water, bro, meeting is fate, why don’t we exchange information? How about that? Honestly, I’ve got a treasure here, something very rare in this Ghost Clan’s realm!"

The chubby player had long grasped human psychology; in the realm of gaming, nothing attracts a player’s attention more than treasures and pets. Just mentioning the word ’treasure’ would surely make ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’ submit!

Just as expected.

When the chubby player mentioned the word "treasure," a flicker sparked in the soul fire of Su Ran’s eyes.

"What treasure?"

Although Su Ran knew it was a trap, he still jumped in; there was no helping it, the allure of treasure was irresistible...

"Hey, this is something I obtained through great hardship after killing a minor Ghost Clan leader. It dropped from that guy. Take a look, Overturning Water, bro."

The chubby player showed a barely noticeable smirk, which quickly faded, and he gave Su Ran a serious look before reaching into his chest pocket to take out a bead that resembled a black pearl, saying with an excited tone, "This treasure is called the Ghost Pearl, and in this ghost realm, it’s worth a fortune..."

Before the word ’pearl’ could leave the chubby player’s throat, it was as if someone had grabbed his neck, leaving him with his mouth open, eyes bulging wide, and an expression of utter disbelief as he noticed that Su Ran now had three identical Ghost Pearls in his hand, nonchalantly fiddling with them.

Uh, talk about a slap in the face.

"You say this thing is worth a fortune? That’s great to hear! Give me a fortune and I’ll sell them all to you. If that’s not enough, I have more here!"

Su Ran’s face took on a peculiar expression, continuing to toy with the Ghost Pearls while he extended his hand forward.

"Cough cough, you know, I may have been showing off a bit there, Overturning Water, bro. Since we just entered the ghost realm, it’s considered a rarity, but let’s not hold onto every word I said, alright?"

"Well, Overturning Water, bro, to show my sincerity, I’ll tell you an additional secret about the Ghost Pearl,"

The chubby player looked around and after making sure there was no one else nearby, he whispered to Su Ran, "The Ghost Clan possesses a ghost city, which we humans cannot enter. Only by using the Ghost Pearl can one earn the right to enter. This is something I learned through a lot of difficulty, so you mustn’t tell anyone else."

"Oh?"

Now it was Su Ran’s turn to be surprised. He hadn’t visited the ghost city, and this piece of information was quite useful to him. He asked the chubby player with a hint of skepticism, "How long can a player last in the ghost city with a Ghost Pearl?"

"One hour."

The chubby player, seeing that Su Ran was unaware of this news, suddenly became more enthusiastic, raising his eyebrows as he said, "Brother Overturning Water, I heard that the Ghost Pearls can only be obtained by killing a BOSS. How about it, are you interested in forming a team to take on a big one, farm some Ghost Pearls, and sell them near the ghost city? It’s bound to be a hit!"

"I don’t have time."

Su Ran rejected the offer without a moment’s hesitation. What a joke, his sisters were still waiting for him in the ghost city; he couldn’t care less about anything else.

"Brother Overturning Water, that’s not very kind of you. I’ve shared my biggest secret with you, and this is how you treat me?"

The chubby player’s eyes rolled as he asked in what he thought was a sincere tone, "Brother Overturning Water, then tell me what you’re actually looking for here. It would satisfy my curiosity, what do you say?"

"I’ve just killed a guardian BOSS here. There should be some treasure it was guarding, but I haven’t found it yet."

After pondering for a moment, Su Ran decided to tell him. Even if a treasure were indeed unearthed, this guy, even if he dared to snatch it, would still have to weigh whether the pets agreed!
