Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 89 Desert of Death

"Whew~another day!" Su Ran sat up in the Nutrition Cabin, stretching down a yawn.

Ever since he began playing the game, Su Ran’s spirits had improved significantly. He attempted to move his left arm. Predictably, there was no improvement. Still, Su Ran felt comforted. As long as things weren’t getting worse, he was content!

"Morning, Little Black!" Su Ran shuffled over to his pet cat’s nest. Seeing that its spirits were much improved, he was overjoyed.

"Meow" "meow"

Little Black had gotten used to the presence of its owner, and continuously swung its front limbs at Su Ran, much like a child would.

After playing with Little Black for a while and helping it finish its meal, Su Ran left the room.

Once Su Ran had finished freshening up, his mother had already prepared breakfast.

"Morning, Mom!" Su Ran greeted her heartily.

"You rascal, come have some breakfast!" Su Ran’s mom said cheerfully, "Son, your mom has some good news to tell you!"

"Huh? What good news?" Su Ran’s curiosity was piqued. He asked in confusion, "So the magpies chirping this morning weren’t without reason!"

"There’s a letter from your father!" His mother was overjoyed. She picked up the envelope on the table and waved it around proudly.

"A letter from Dad? I want to see!" Su Ran grabbed the letter from her as soon as he heard.

After reading the letter, Su Ran sat back down on the stool, feeling gloomy.

"Dad, it’s been years, he keeps sending money back but never comes home to visit." Su Ran sighed deeply, missing his father immensely.

"Once you get into university, we’ll move out! We’ll move to the Eastern Province to be closer to your father~" His mother’s eyes shone with hope. She was filled with aspirations for the future.

After lunch, Su Ran’s mother started cleaning up the table.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Who is it? Coming, coming!" His mother hastily walked over to open the door.

"Hello, I’m Su Ran’s class teacher, Li. Sorry for the disturbance."

"Teacher Li! Please come in, come in~ We met the last time. Su Ran, this child, has certainly caused the teachers much worry!"

It was Teacher Li’s visit!

Su Ran quickly got up, shuffled to the front door, welcomed Teacher Li in, and invited him to sit down.

"No problems at all, my visit today is just to have a few words with Su Ran." Teacher Li said, smiling kindly at Su Ran’s mother as he lifted the stack of documents in his hand.

"Teacher Li, it would be better if you join me in my bedroom!" Concerned Teacher Li might let something slip, Su Ran guided him into his room.

"So, you play this, too?" Upon entering Su Ran’s room and seeing the gaming cabinet, Teacher Li was taken aback.

"Yes, it’s much more relaxing in the game than in reality," Su Ran hinted.

"I understand the situation. I don’t have much time, so let’s keep it short." Teacher Li closed the room’s door and told Su Ran seriously, "You’re one of my favourite students, and it’s unexpected that this situation has occurred. It’s a good life lesson for you. Reality is full of deceit, you have to adapt to society to grow."

Teacher Li handed the documents in his hand to Su Ran: "Here are the key points for the college entrance examination, drafted by a few teachers. Please review them thoroughly. Su Ran, I am waiting for you to leap the dragon gate! Also, bearing with adversity might be your best choice right now."

"Alright, I’ve said enough. I have to go, I work!" Patting Su Ran’s shoulder, Teacher Li assured him. "Take care of your health, I have high expectations from you!"

After bidding farewell to Teacher Li, Su Ran was deeply touched by his warm words and couldn’t forget them for a long time.

At noon, Lin Yuqing came to share the meal again under the guise of handing over the morning study notes. Lin Yuqing made a new discovery that Su Ran had bought a new mobile phone. While Su Ran was not paying attention, Lin Yuqing secretly entered her number and called it, quickly hanging up after one ring. Then she quietly put it back in its original place and couldn’t help giggling.

After seeing off Lin Yuqing, Su Ran who was laying in his room picked up his phone and started browsing the forum of the game God and Devil Conflict.

As Su Ran delved deeper, his astonishment grew stronger.

"Responding to the complaints and suggestions of the vast number of players, the Clash of Gods and Demons game will now remain open all day. The game has been adjusted so players get 10 hours of independent training time every day, with no character experience to be obtained in the remaining time."

The Clash of Gods and Demons commenced an all-day operation! This update felt tailor-made for him - it was great!

Excitement made Su Ran tremble all over. He had placed all his bets on the Clash of Gods and Demons. He couldn’t afford to lose or wait, so everything was excellent for him!

At six in the evening, Su Ran, who had eaten dinner early, entered the game ahead of schedule.

Looking at the familiar game interface, Su Ran thought to himself. As expected, the game had started two hours earlier.

The little skeleton looked around the unfamiliar map he had been teleported to. What he saw was a vast, golden desert. Sand was flying in all directions, clouding his vision.

It turned out to be the Desert of Death, a territory belonging to the Demon World.

Su Ran calmed himself, he was glad that he hadn’t been teleported to the Celestial Realm map, otherwise it would’ve ended up catastrophic with his inadequate health.

At this point, Su Ran realized how tragic it was to not have bought a Town Recall Scroll. He summoned his own alter ego, a Bone Worm, which writhed in the Desert of Death, serving as a scout for him to detect potential unknown threats.

The sun was high, and the heat was scorching. The hot temperature dried up Su Ran’s mouth, and he missed his days at the Sinister Grave Ridge dearly. Being a skeleton, he felt exceptionally dry and skinny in such an environment. Treading carefully, Su Ran moved forward. As a desert named the Desert of Death, this place naturally screamed danger from every corner, exuding a morbid air.

Suddenly, an imminent danger materialized!

The desert floor in front of him collapsed, and a Bone Scorpion burst out, rushing towards the Bone Worm. The Bone Worm failed to dodge in time and was paralyzed on the spot due to the successful ambush by the Bone Scorpion.

[Desert Bone Scorpion] LV30

Qi Blood: 1800

Attack: 182-190

Defense: 52

Agility: 6

Active Skills: Poison Hook- Bone hook attack on the target, attack bonus 20%, 30% chance of paralysis for 3 seconds.

Passive Skills: Swift- When in the desert, agility +2.

"Bang!" "-122"

Only then did Su Ran put his heart at ease. Turns out this was a level 30 area, he could survive here after all!

Before long, with the combined efforts of the little skeleton and the Bone Worm, the Desert Bone Scorpion finally died in defiance, leaving behind a bulge composed entirely of sand. The death energy emitted by the Bone Scorpion after dying slowly seeped out and turned into a clear stream that flowed towards Su Ran’s bladder.

"Death Energy!" Su Ran suddenly remembered the mysterious Pet Egg inside his bladder, which could also absorb death energy. All he had to do was kill more undead creatures, and the Pet Egg could hatch. Without wasting time, Su Ran took out a novice shovel and started digging immediately.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

Although the sand tomb was made of sand, it was incredibly hard. Even his fourth level mining skills found it tiresome.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for acquiring a piece of bone marrow."

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for acquiring material — Bone Scorpion Tail Needle."

Su Ran was overjoyed. He took out the bone marrow and used it immediately to strengthen himself.

The familiar dark glow once again emanated from the skeleton’s frame before retreating and fading away.

He still hadn’t managed to advance. Su Ran shook his head and chuckled, and then directed the Bone Worm to continue moving forward.
