"Plop."

DogEgg’s eyelids trembled, and he struggled to open his eyes.

"DogEgg, is that you?"

The old beggar was excited yet tense, fearing that the demon still controlled this body, his tone filled with shock and uncertainty.

"Dad... Urgh!"

Just as DogEgg woke up, before he could feel happy about seeing the old beggar, his stomach churned, and he spewed all over the old beggar’s face.

Cough, cough.

Wasn’t the aftereffect of this graveyard grass a bit too much?

Su Ran felt a touch of guilt, realizing he might have gone a bit overboard with the dosage...

"Little Skeleton, how did you know that graveyard grass would cause such a strong reaction?"

Seeing that DogEgg had awakened successfully, Yin Si stepped aside and turned to Su Ran, voicing her doubts.

"I’ve tested it many times; whoever eats it, heaves it. Of course, it’s ineffective against our Undead race."

"I see, interesting."

Yin Si grinned, his eyes gleaming, making one wonder what he was scheming.

...

With DogEgg’s return, it was only natural for him to join Su Ran’s ranks, becoming a member of Skeleton Village, and so the territory defense battle came to a joyous end.

Finerain was utterly surprised to see Su Ran’s territory gain another strong general. She couldn’t fathom what sort of magic Su Ran had that allowed him to attract such strong bosses to his side: Bone Dragons, Phoenixes, Ghost Kings, and now a demon. With such formidable defensive forces, it was laughable for her to come to help defend the territory—it was superfluous.

Finerain sighed, giving the Undead skeletons in the village a deep look before commanding her Firebird to leave the place, taking with her the tens of thousands of players at the foot of the mountain. She believed that after this earth-shattering battle, anyone who still wanted to attack the territory would have to think twice.

Online gaming forum.

Some zealous player uploaded a video of the territory battle, causing an immediate uproar online, drawing nearly ten thousand comments in no time.

"Damn, am I seeing things? The territory’s Guardian Beast is an Undead Bone Dragon?"

"That’s nothing, you didn’t see the super mythical beast, the Phoenix, come out later!"

"Holy moly, how can these buildings be so defensively strong? They’re practically indestructible! Chopping at the walls even sparks fly, what an exaggeration!"

"Can’t imagine how much money the territory’s owner poured into the village? It’s terrifying!"

"Hahaha, if tens of thousands of players can’t take down this territory, maybe it’s time to find a hole and burrow in, can’t afford to lose face like this!"

"Guys, breaking news, an authoritative source revealed that the territory owner is actually an Undead skeleton!"

"No way? Are skeletons some kind of hidden class in the game? That’s unbelievable!"

"Wonder if this expert has a guild and is recruiting? Online and asking for help~"

...

The players’ discussions from the forum shifted to the world channel, the buzz growing more intense by the moment, causing wave after wave of excitement. It was clear that the territory in the Dark Swamp had become highly controversial and was now a force to be reckoned with. The identity of the territory’s owner had become a mystery. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat, and more players headed to the Dark Swamp, hoping to encounter this mysterious Undead skeleton.

Reality, inside a luxurious villa.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of collision rang out as a glass cup shattered on the floor.

"You’ve really disappointed me!"

The middle-aged man sat in a wheelchair, his right leg in a plaster cast, wiping his hands with a pristine white napkin, his tone seething with anger, "Seventy million cash squandered, nearly half a million players couldn’t take down that tiny territory?"

"Father, I was wrong."

At this moment, Han Siying’s face was so frosty it seemed ice could scrape off it, her voice devoid of any warmth, "Father, please calm down, getting angry isn’t good for your recovery."

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man snorted heavily, crumpling the tissue in his hand into a ball, his fist creaking with the tension, "To think he’d fall for a poor kid, how ridiculous!"

"What exactly is going on with his family?"

Han Siying suddenly asked, the confusion in her eyes clearly visible.

"They don’t even know what’s happening themselves!"

The man said through clenched teeth, throwing the crumpled tissue angrily on the floor, "Incompetents, all incompetents!"

"Father, you’re tired, go back and rest for a while."

Seeing her father’s overly agitated emotion, Han Siying pushed the wheelchair, taking her father back to the bedroom.

However,

Just at that moment, a still-charming woman walked in, humming a tune, and carrying a bundle of golden-yellow toilet paper in her hand, her expression particularly joyful.

"Little Ying, come here, I have something great to show you!"

The woman had just finished speaking when she noticed Han Siying’s unusual state and couldn’t help but sigh, speaking softly, "Scolded by your dad again? Don’t take it to heart; he just has a bearish temper. He gets riled up, but it’s over quick. You too shouldn’t always look so cold; it makes you age before your time."

"Put aside your worries for now, come over here, I have something great to show you, Hollow Golden Flower Paper!"

Han’s mother revealed an excited smile, placing the toilet paper on the table and said cheerfully, "How about that, haven’t seen it before, have you? Look at this pattern, the craftsmanship, the material, and even the fragrance, it’s practically like a work of art!"

"This is?"

Han Siying’s gaze sharpened, asking uncertainly, "What is this paper used for?"

"Look at you, of course it’s for wiping your bottom!"

Han’s mother glared at her daughter, "It’s because of your obsession with cleanliness that I finally found the nobility among toilet papers, and it’s perfect for you! This toilet paper is made of pure fiber, thin and smooth, not abrasive to the skin at all, and it can even be nurturing!"

Ah?

Han Siying was dumbfounded.

Hollow Golden Flower Paper?

The nobility among toilet papers?

Is this thing gold-plated or recyclable?

After a moment of shock, Han Siying looked at her mother’s excited face and reluctantly took it, the awkwardness evident on her face.

"Oh, by the way, what did you do to make your dad so angry? He’s at a recovery stage right now, and anger has a considerable impact on healing. You know that."

Han’s mother then shifted the conversation back, her brows slightly furrowed.

"I squandered seventy million."

"What?"

Han’s mother at first was startled, her eyes incredulously wide as she asked in shock, "Did you go buy an airplane?"

"Not that, let’s not talk about this right now, I need to use the bathroom."

Han Siying clearly didn’t want to dwell on the subject, not waiting for her mother’s continued questioning, she took the toilet paper and went into the bathroom.

After a while, the sound of the toilet flushing filled the air.

"Pfft."

The sound of the paper tearing was incidentally followed by a sharp scream from the bathroom, nearly blowing the roof off.

Han’s mother turned pale and quickly left the place, heading toward the kitchen while muttering subconsciously, "As I thought, hollow paper is no good, won’t buy it again..."
