Online Game: Crazy Skeleton

"I’ll buy all the cards above 5 stars at 120% of the market price!"

Facing these powerful card beasts, Shuxin naturally welcomed all comers and very generously bought them all. The gold coins in her hands flew out like the tide of the Northern Sea, not causing her the slightest distress when spending them.

With these card beasts, she didn’t believe that this territory couldn’t be conquered!

"Um, beautiful Shuxin, I’ve got another treasure here that might come in handy this time."

Dai Xuan coughed and hopped down from the Red Gold Cloud Tiger, accidentally stepping on someone’s foot and nearly twisting his waist.

"What treasure? Hurry up and bring it here to see!"

At this point, Shuxin was naturally very anxious, always having a premonition that something bad was going to happen. Her usually cold voice became much more hurried.

"This is a top-quality charm that can reduce the target’s defense by 50% for 30 minutes."

Dai Xuan paused, stopped talking, and revealed a faint smile, waiting for Shuxin to continue.

"Fifteen thousand gold, deal!"

Good lord, a single-use charm could sell for one hundred and fifty thousand cash? Was Shuxin really that wealthy?

The players’ gazes towards Shuxin changed, thinking that whoever won this woman’s heart could work less for a lifetime!

"Now that everything is ready, brothers, let’s rally and follow me to destroy the altar!"

Having received an unexpected fortune, Dai Xuan’s smile never left his face, but before he could continue giving orders, he was interrupted by a player’s surprised voice.

"Look, that skeleton is acting so strange, running around with a pot. What’s up with that?"

"Eh? It really is a skeleton!"

"Could it be a mutation? But what’s up with that pot?"

"Is it performing some kind of ritual?"

"What kind of ritual can a low-tier Undead perform? Bro, you’ve read too many novels!"

The players’ curiosity was through the roof. They stared unblinkingly at the skeleton, eager to figure out what kind of effect this bewildering act would result in.

It was no wonder they didn’t know of Su Ran’s existence; when Su Ran had teleported back earlier, a throng of players had blocked the view so thoroughly that the players outside the village naturally couldn’t see him, and the players who had seen Su Ran were already dead and gone, hence the mix-up.

"Damn it, how did he come back?!"

Shuxin’s gaze sharpened as she coldly watched the Undead skeleton, her white knuckles clenched tightly. Frowning in thought, she opened the friends interface and sent a message.

"Target sighted, prepare to act!"

...

Seeing that the village had returned to peace, Su Ran finally walked out of the dwelling at ease.

Upon seeing Su Ran, the crafty Yin Si smiled and pointed at the large group of players gathered at the entrance of the village, ominously saying, "Little skeleton, I think you’ll want to discuss this business with me."

Damn!

This crafty merchant is taking advantage of the situation, too shameless!

Given the dangerous situation at hand, Su Ran quickly caved. He walked over to the crafty merchant and spoke in Skeleton Language, "Lord Yin Si, this territory is our shared homeland, and repelling outsiders is an inescapable duty. You wouldn’t want to face the demise of your home and exile, would you?"

"Demise of my home? Laughable, my home is but a coffin. Being exiled is just like moving graves to me, no big deal."

Yin Si chuckled, "This territory, for me, is but a fleeting cloud. Having lived this long, I’ve seen through such worldly concerns. If you want my help, there’s no such thing as a free lunch."

Sigh, true enough, it’s hard to change one’s nature!

A dog can’t stop eating shit.

"Then what is your view, Lord Yin Si?"

Su Ran cautiously asked, knowing that what awaited him was going to be a grand slaughter.

"There’s no rush for this. Seeing how quick you catch on, I’ll give you a tip. With all the treasures you’ve collected, I bet you have forgotten about one. Hurry and take out the Corpse Soul Pot; these bodies will soon be gone, such a waste of resources, I’d be heartbroken."

"Corpse Soul Pot!!!"

A bolt of lightning streaked through Su Ran’s mind, bringing him an epiphany, and with joy painted across his face, he looked at Yin Si, "Thank you, sir, for the advice!"

Without waiting for a response from Yin Si, Su Ran pulled out the Corpse Soul Pot and ran towards the scattered corpses.

([Corpse Soul Pot]—Collects the souls of the undead, can be transformed into a miraculous crystal.)

The souls of the undead, that’s what the players’ souls are!

The messy bodies strewn across the ground were hard to look at, but to Su Ran at that moment, they seemed like a delicious cake, indescribably delightful. Holding the Corpse Soul Pot, he weaved through the corpses, and a vast number of soul auras were sucked into the pot, merging and coalescing into one crystal after another.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton, for obtaining a Strength Crystal."

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton, for obtaining an Agility Crystal."

...

One game system notification after another rang out, filling Su Ran’s heart with excitement.

"Hahaha, an attack on one’s territory isn’t necessarily a bad thing, what a bountiful harvest!"

Due to the large number of bodies on the ground, it didn’t take long for Su Ran to amass nearly a hundred crystals. By his own rough estimate, the souls of about twenty bodies could gather into one crystal.

"Swish."

All the bodies on the ground refreshed away, causing Su Ran to heave a regretful sigh, but when he saw the densely packed players at the village entrance, he couldn’t help but feel amused.

Weren’t these ready-made raw materials? As long as they died, everything was negotiable!

Thinking this, Su Ran gave the crowd another look, hoping they would continue to deliver corpses.

...

"What are you all standing around for? Charge over already!"

Shuxin, clearly too anxious, was even a bit shrill, which caused the guild leaders to feel a hint of annoyance but they didn’t say much.

"Brothers with cards, line up, form the first wave!"

Jiu Kong mounted the Wave Chasing Eagle, taking command himself, "President Zhi Yuan, President Lu, please take the field next, distract one of the two bosses, Drought Fiend and Yin Si each. As for that undead Bone Dragon, use those 5-star beasts to buy us time!"

"Leader Dai..."

"Save your breath, I know what to do!"

Dai Xuan couldn’t stand Jiu Kong’s condescending attitude; he was only an adjutant, yet he acted as if he was someone important. Ridiculous!

"Cloud Tiger, let’s go!"

Dai Xuan spurred the tiger beneath him and rushed into the village first, a mysterious talisman appearing in his hand.

"President Lu, please."

President Zhi Yuan elegantly extended his hand, and after exchanging a smile, they each gripped a seven-star card and then charged into the village.

Seeing the big shots taking action, the players behind them poured in, roaring continuously, their momentum combining into a long rainbow charging toward the central altar of the village.

"The second wave of attacks is coming!" Su Ran’s expression tightened, and he quickly retreated to the back, wary of the impending battle reaching him. It was only then that he remembered he had forgotten to transform the Skeleton Army to guard the territory.

Cough cough, some memory...
