Online Game: Crazy Skeleton
Chapter 315 - 315 314 The Master of Tricks

315: Chapter 314: The Master of Tricks 315: Chapter 314: The Master of Tricks “Advanced territory?”

Su Ran was taken aback.

How could this woman fathom that he had something to do with the advanced territory?

“Sister Wan’er, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“You’re careful indeed.

If it were me, I wouldn’t tell anyone either.

After all, this territory was terribly vital.”

Li Wan’er didn’t seem surprised.

She took a sip of water and looked at Su Ran, “The bone bug that gave me the skill book is your pet, right?”

“Yes.”

Su Ran nodded in acknowledgment.

There was no need to hide this, since the bone bug was already history.

“I was wondering why you didn’t choose to trade the skill book in the human race’s imperial city, but in such a barren place.

So, there’s an advanced territory hiding here!”

“How can you be sure that just because I chose this place, I knew it had a territory?”

Su Ran naturally wouldn’t admit it and retorted.

The hint of unfamiliarity between the two had vanished.

“Hold on, I wasn’t through with the reasoning yet!”

Li Wan’er glared at Su Ran and continued to ask: “Do you know Han Siying?”

“Yes, she’s my classmate.”

Su Ran started to feel uneasy, realizing that he was getting caught up in her sauce!

“So you know her game character, Shuxin, right?

Don’t deny it, I already got the answer from her.”

Li Wan’er smiled mysteriously, poured a cup of water, and continued drinking, waiting for Su Ran to surrender.

“Yes, why ask me when you already know the answer?”

Su Ran was annoyed, he scratched his head and said helplessly to Li Wan’er: “Sister Wan’er, stop interrogating me like a suspect.

It’s uncomfortable… Whatever else you know, just tell me all at once!”

“As I thought, I was tricking you just now, I didn’t really ask Han Siying.”

Li Wan’er smirked mischievously, “Little Brother Su, let’s straighten this line out.

A while back, Han Siying called for me, plus a few other friends, to attack that advanced territory.

She mentioned a poor kid a few times, and the territory was pre-booked for 200k!”

“Since she mentioned the poor kid and could pay cash in advance for the reservation, this proves that the two of you know each other in reality, right?”

Seeing Su Ran nodding, Li Wan’er continued to deduce: “The Su family’s life is not rich, yet you are using a 200k game cabin, can’t that be explained?”

“So that’s how it is.”

Su Ran suddenly realized, it was his own game cabin that had betrayed him!

There was actually no need to hide it since Han Siying would definitely tell Li Wan’er about these things.

“Yes, this game cabin was bought for me by classmate Han Siying for exactly 200k.

And this advanced territory is indeed mine.”

Su Ran had completely given up and confessed everything truthfully.

“Wow!

Little Brother Su, what extraordinary luck!”

Li Wan’er exclaimed in surprise, “I can’t believe it without you telling me!

A newbie player who has not been playing for long actually got the first advanced territory in the God-Demon Continent!”

“Sister Wan’er, stop making fun of me, whether this territory is a blessing or a curse is still uncertain, so where does the talk of luck come from!”

Su Ran gave a wry smile, he was telling the truth.

He had offended the Ghost Clan, the Human Race, the Beast Clan, and once his territory’s safety period was over, he would soon become the target of public criticism!

He had to do everything he could to improve his territory’s defense in order to protect his land!

“How could you get so down on yourself!

Little Brother Su, I can’t help but admire you for starting from scratch and being able to develop a territory to such a level.

If the players knew about this, who would dare to look down on you!”

“Just like the elite player on the leaderboard, Ni Wudao, his strength is undeniably great.

Even though his territory has been upgraded to level five, the walls are still fences!”

Li Wan’er’s eyes glowed, her cheeks flushed red, looking at Su Ran as if he were a piece of uncut jade that would shine brightly once polished!

“Little Brother Su, can I learn from you so I can manage my territory better when I get it?”

Learn from…

In a room alone with a woman, and such a beautiful one at that, Su Ran couldn’t help but let his mind wander!

“There’s nothing to learn really, you just have to keep throwing equipment and gems into your territory to gain fiscal value.

This fiscal value can then be used to build houses and defense walls.”

Su Ran quickly realigned his thoughts, silently repeating the benefits of socialist ideology countless times, before he gave an honest answer to Li Wan’er.

…

Li Wan’er and Su Ran had an extensive discussion on the subject of territories.

Wan’er ultimately grasped the crucial importance of fiscal value.

In short, money was needed first to develop a territory!

“Little Brother Su, it’s a good thing you cleared out the Rebirth Gate’s equipment repository.

Otherwise, the territory contest would have been quite dicey!”

Li Wan’er gently touched her forehead, her face filled with an expression of dread at the recollection.

“Eh?

How do you know?”

Su Ran was shocked.

Such a secretive matter was, surprisingly, known to Li Wan’er to the smallest detail.

Had he unwittingly exposed some clues to her?

“Well, I have to thank your mom for that~”

Li Wan’er finally couldn’t contain herself and broke out in hearty laughter, her ladylike image completely abandoned.

“When I first came here, your mom asked about my job.

I simply said I was a professional gamer, and she excitedly shared your entire gaming career with me.

Everything from the Lava Tribe dungeon, hidden realms like the Illusion Spirit Realm, even the recent Rebirth Gate event.

She complimented you profusely!!”

Su Ran felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

Mom…

you really mastered the art of throwing your son under the bus…

Su Ran’s face was blank, his expression stiff.

He found himself at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Li Wan’er’s laughter shook her so much that she couldn’t even stand straight.

Her laughter rang out like a string of silver bells, clear and pleasing to the ear, reaching the depth of Su Ran’s heart.

Su Ran simply hung his head, too disheartened to appreciate Li Wan’er’s adorable charm, filled with resentment inside.

Mom, you are the infiltrator from within the enemies’ ranks!!!

This mishap served as a lesson to Su Ran, prompting him to be tight-lipped and communicate less about his affairs in the future.

After a while, Li Wan’er finally quieted down.

She wiped the shiny teardrops at the corner of her eyes, rubbed her slightly cramping mouth, picked up the water glass, took a few big gulps, and finally calmed down.

“Little Brother Su, did you think I could deduce everything just by logic?

I only pulled at various threads of information after I knew the answer, and easily sorted out the entire matter!”

“Su Ran, in my grandfather’s eyes, you are even closer than his own grandson.

Since he found out you play games, he was worried that you might be bullied.

He wanted me to help you out, but who would have thought that without making a noise, you have already become the first lord in the game!

Maybe this young lady might need Little Brother Su’s help instead…”

“Stop teasing me, Sister Wan’er.

You are the Deputy leader of the Righteous and Indomitable Guild.

How could you possibly need help from a small fry like me?”

Su Ran responded helplessly and upon finishing, a realization hit him, he had said something he shouldn’t have!

“How do you know?”

Li Wan’er asked suspiciously, her eyes fixed on Su Ran’s face.

“Did you forget?

That time you were bickering publicly with ‘Love to your marrow’, I saw every single word.”

Su Ran, on the spur of the moment, quickly thought of backup plan.

“Oh, that time.

It’s true, but that annoying guy really upset me.

He kept saying that what happened that night wasn’t intentional, but he clearly did it on purpose!”

Su Ran broke into a cold sweat, realizing that Li Wan’er’s mindset was rather blunt…

“What did he do to you that night?”

Su Ran was immediately intrigued.

If he posted this insider information to the forum, it would surely hit the trending list, right?
