Chapter 337 - 337 336 So That's How It Is

337: Chapter 336: So That’s How It Is 337: Chapter 336: So That’s How It Is “Die?

If we die, wouldn’t Taciturn slag me off to high heavens?”

Su Ran gave a mischievous chuckle and shook his head.

“Who knows if it’s true or not?

You’re not saying anything of substance!”

The handsome young man took the treasure map, continuing, “By the way, Overturning Water, you didn’t even bother to tell me about the good stuff you got in the Desert of Death before taking off!”

“Oh, it’s nothing special, it’s just a gold coin parcel with ten gold coins in it.”

Su Ran said nonchalantly, brushing off the idea of holding onto ten gold coins.

“That’s a hundred bucks, and you’re calling it nothing special!”

The handsome young man was indignant.

How could this guy flaunt his wealth like this?

“I’ve been here before, it’s where the Corpse Poison Mosquitoes and the Dark Bone Cats respawn.”

Su Ran shifted the topic to the Dark Swamp shore ahead, which was marked on the treasure map.

“Every new player has been here.

When the game launched last year, this place was crowded.

We couldn’t even snag a monster.

Now there are fewer new players, and even the Novice Village has disappeared, freeing up this leveling area.”

The handsome young man sighed, feeling nostalgic about the past and how much had changed.

“There are always new players turning 18 every year, why do they say there are fewer new players?”

Su Ran was puzzled, finding something off.

“It involves political issues; the game is huge and has the potential to affect those in high positions.

Even before the game saw widespread popularity, sales channels had already been locked down by higher-ups.

Only a very small number of new players will have the privilege to play this game in the future.”

The handsome young man replied gravely.

“So this has essentially become a game for the rich and powerful?”

Su Ran felt a surge of anger.

Why should they control even a game?

Afraid it would affect their interests?

Or limit their power?

“Who knows?

I can’t explain such a high-level question.”

Seeing the handsome young man avoiding the issue, Su Ran gained some insights.

No wonder he hadn’t seen many new players during the undead village invasion.

No wonder the Novice Village was so empty.

Now it made sense!

Such circumstances allowed him to practically stumble upon a piece of territory!

But then again, he should really thank Han Siying.

Without her, he wouldn’t have been able to buy the game warehouse even with 200,000.

He couldn’t even afford a gaming helmet!

No wonder Han Siying had become angry at him out of the blue.

He was completely baffled.

Anybody, having been cheated by someone who no longer had any value, into wasting a hard-earned gaming capsule, would feel rage and, perhaps, even transform that rage into hatred!

Only now did Su Ran fully understand.

If he managed to bring a game item into reality and that item happened to be a mystical beast, that’d be an amusing mess!

Countries would definitely panic upon seeing such a powerful beast.

It’s no surprise then, that the high-level officials are strictly controlling this magical game.

However, he owned the Dream Searching Mirror.

If he brought game items into reality, would special departments detect it immediately?

Would they knock on his door demanding him to handover, threaten, force or vanish him from the face of the earth when everything else fails?

Su Ran became solemn, too scared to think further.

Actually, his intent was simple – acquire life-saving items from the game, bring them to reality, heal himself and live each day happily.

Yet if he did, he ran the risk of losing his life which was a harsh reality!

Huu~

Suppressing the turmoil inside him, Su Ran’s eyes regained their calm.

What the hell, he was a dying man anyway.

What was there to fear!

When soldiers approach, hold your ground, when water floods, build dams!

Even in the worst-case scenario, he would surely find a slim chance for survival!

After settling his thoughts, he pushed the worries aside and moved towards the marked point on the map with the handsome young man.

“Overturning Water, there are too many Corpse Poison Mosquitoes here.

Their buzzing is very annoying.

Let’s clear these pests first, then we can go look for the treasure.”

The handsome young man found these mosquitoes obnoxious.

Holding his magic staff, readied his magic power, just waiting for Su Ran’s command.

As usual, Su Ran started to investigate the attributes of the Corpse Poison Mosquitoes.

[Corpse Poison Mosquito] Level 15

Qi Blood: 250

Attack: 50-55

Defense: 32

Agility: 8

Active Skills: Poison Needle—Has a chance of poisoning target upon attack, reducing 1% of Qi Blood per second for 3 seconds.

Only 250 Qi Blood and a maximum of 55 attack?

They couldn’t even break his defense.

Facing this swarm of mosquitoes again, Su Ran found it a walk in the park!

“Quick fight, quick decision!”

Su Ran nodded his head, pulled out a burning paper from his pocket, activated Splash Bone skill and charged towards the swarm of mosquitoes.

The intensely burning paper split into four in the air and shot into the swarm of mosquitoes.

Explosions followed one after another, causing chaos among the mosquitoes.

The handsome young man knew that if they attracted other new players at this time, it’d be troublesome.

So, he increased his magic power output.

The exploding fire magic skill turned the vicinity red.

Under Su Ran and the handsome young man’s fierce attack, Corpse Poison Mosquitoes fell one after the other, filling the ground with their bodies.

They gained plenty of “+1 experience” messages.

In just a moment, they had wiped out the pile of Corpse Poison Mosquitoes.

They didn’t drop much of value, and they didn’t even feel like picking it up, instead, they moved forward.

“The coordinates marked on this treasure map are near a few Dark Bone Cats.

We just need to kill these Bone Cats.”

Su Ran spoke softly, well-aware that these Bone Cats were level 20 monsters, somewhat stronger than Corpse Poison Mosquitoes, but still not much of a match.

Soon, they had cleaned up the few Dark Bone Cats, leaving behind several small graves about thirty centimeters high.

“Wait a bit, I’ll dig up these graves first.”

Seeing the graves, Su Ran was excited.

He didn’t care about the handsome young man’s feelings and pulled out his newbie hoe to start digging.

“Hmph, as soon as he sees a grave, he can’t move a step forward.

This guy must be a grave robber in reality!”

The handsome young man grumbled.

In Overturning Water’s eyes, she ranked below a petty grave!

KLANG!

KLANG!

Even though the graves were small, the items within were random.

Su Ran believed that under his Lucky 13 aureole, he should stumble upon something good!

“Ding!

Congratulations to player Skull for gaining material — Cat’s Vertebra.”

Su Ran threw the newly unearthed Cat’s Vertebra into his bag.

A level 20 forge material, it was neither here nor there.

“Ding!

Congratulations to player Skull for gaining material — Cat’s Claw.”

“…”

“Ding!

Congratulations to player Skull for gaining material — Cat’s Skull.”

Su Ran ignored the materials and continued to dig up the remaining graves with vigor.

“Ding!

Congratulations to player Skull for gaining special flame ‘Bone Soul Ghost Fire’ (Yellow Level) – 1.”

Bone Soul Ghost Fire!

Su Ran was thrilled.

True to his hunch, he had dug up something good!

This was a gem that could increase the experience of his soul!
