Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1675 - 1466: Shock

"Banana, with that volume of yours, scaring the two ladies is a minor issue. If you end up startling the Elf Queen, you deal with the consequences yourself."

Su Ran felt speechless. This guy seemed even more excited than he was, as if the treasure orb belonged to him. Was there really any need for this?

"Big bro, with this Ice Orb in your hands, it’s like adding wings to a tiger! Even if Hangover Elder shows up, he might not be your match!"

Banana lowered his voice and said, "No wonder this game only has ten ancient treasure orbs! This is definitely an overpowered game-breaking bug. Don’t worry, big bro, I promise I won’t share this item’s stats anywhere!"

"Of course you can’t share them. I’m counting on this to catch people off guard!"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow. "By the way, here’s a few Teleportation Scrolls for you. They can take you directly to my territory, but you’ll have to wait until the alliance is finalized and you’ve officially joined my domain before you can use them."

"Blah blah blah. Get on with it!"

Ling Wei said crossly. Just the thought of staying temporarily in a skeleton’s territory gave her a headache. Thankfully, it was only temporary; once her training was over, she’d return to the Elf Forest, never to see this skeleton again!

"Alright, I’ll go set up the Elf Seal. I’ll invite you to join my domain afterward."

Not bothering to argue with Ling Wei, Su Ran thought to himself—girls have their moments every month; this one seems to be in perpetual PMS. You just get used to it.

"Whoosh!"

Su Ran donned the Illusion Demon’s black cloak and equipped a vanity set, then teleported back to his territory. Without wasting any time, he dashed to the altar and embedded the Elf Seal into it.

"Ding! Congratulations, player Skeleton, for successfully allying with the Elf Clan. As the first lord to form an alliance with a race, you’ve been awarded the title [Diplomatic Envoy], experience points +10,000."

At the moment the Elf Seal was embedded, the system alert sounded, catching Su Ran by surprise. He hadn’t anticipated that forming this alliance would grant him a title reward. A double win? Sweet!

Unable to hold back his curiosity, he immediately opened the system interface, navigated to the title section, and looked at his freshly-earned title.

[Diplomatic Envoy] (Title)

A lord with the title Diplomatic Envoy is more likely to secure alliances with other races and has advanced language skills.

Note: How can you call yourself a top-notch Diplomatic Envoy without mastering a few foreign languages?

"Advanced language skills?"

Su Ran’s eyes lit up. How could he not recognize the true value here? Forget alliances with other races; this was the real game-changer!

Having the Dragon Clan’s Language Introduction skill was already advantageous, but this new linguistic edge? It made questing with other races a breeze! With this, communicating with the Darknight Thunder Dragons would be effortless. Exploring the Dragon Clan’s domain would no longer come with hidden barriers. Haha, absolutely worth it!

After forming an alliance with the Elf Clan, Su Ran proceeded to invite Banana and Xue Wuqing to join his territory. As for Ling Wei’s pet Fire Spirit, it was tied to Xue Wuqing, so there was no need to worry about its return to the city.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Three beams of light flashed, and Banana and the others appeared in Su Ran’s Skeleton Village.

"Welcome to Skeleton Village!"

As the lord, Su Ran naturally had to make a welcoming speech. Seeing his territory finally get player members, he couldn’t help but feel emotional—finally, no longer a single-player operation... frёewebnoѵēl.com

"So this is your terri—wait, what the hell, Sky-reaching Vine!"

Banana stopped mid-sentence upon seeing the towering Sky-reaching Vine. He was so shocked he struggled to process it. After quite a while, he finally accepted reality and asked incredulously, "Jeez, Overturning Water bro, you grew this vine to such an extent in such a short time? Did you feed it some kind of growth-boosting agent?"

"What?"

Upon hearing that term, Su Ran felt awkward. Talking about this in front of two ladies—was this really appropriate?

"Don’t get the wrong idea! I was talking about a fertilizer used for growing ginger!"

"Ahem, scared me for a second. So it’s just fertilizer!"

Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I acquired some Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid in the Elf Forest back then. Feeding it to the Sky-reaching Vine accelerated its growth tremendously!"

"You sneaky skeleton, so you’re the reason that Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid disappeared! I’m going straight to the Elf Queen to report you!"

Ling Wei finally saw her chance and shouted that she was going to report Su Ran to the Elf Queen, determined to expose the skeleton’s true colors!

"Shut up!"

Su Ran, suppressed in the Elf Forest for a long time, finally got to be authoritative for once. "Ling Wei, little sister, I neither stole nor robbed. This Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid was unowned. It didn’t have a label saying it belonged to you! My conscience is clear—report me all you like! And this is my territory; if you dare leave, never come back!"

"You!"

Ling Wei was speechless, turning red in embarrassment. Unable to argue back, she stomped her foot in frustration and turned away, ignoring Su Ran.

"Little Wei, I’ve told you countless times—when you’re on God-Demon Continent, you need to control that fiery temper of yours. Look at you; just arrived and you’ve already pissed off the lord! Go apologize to Overturning Water. From now on, call him Lord Master, got it?"

Xue Wuqing intervened at the perfect moment as the peacemaker. She then cast Su Ran a sharp look. "And you—what’s with arguing with a young girl? Could you be any less graceful?"

Ling Wei finally felt a bit relieved and her expression softened.

"I already mentioned to the Elf Queen before—just to prove I wasn’t making things up, I’ll reintroduce everything to you: the coffin on this altar holds the domain’s Guardian Beast, the Five-clawed Bone Dragon King. Then there’s the Guardian Thunder Tower, Mountain Suppression Stone, Six-directional Magnetic Heart Array, Demon-sealing Platform’s Red Refining King Snake..."

Su Ran gave a complete overview of the territory’s defenses, leaving nothing out, including the identities of all NPCs. The three fresh-faced elves were completely dumbfounded. This territory, despite its small size, really was packed with surprises—stuff the Elf Palace couldn’t compare to!

Ling Wei instantly lost her confidence and no longer dared to look down on this skeleton lord.

"And with you three generals joining, the territory is sure to flourish! Oh right, Banana, didn’t the Elf Queen promise you’d bring three thousand elf soldiers here? Where are they?"

Su Ran certainly hadn’t overlooked this critical perk he fought hard to get. No way was he going to let this slip through his fingers!

"Relax, the control token is in my hand. I can summon them anytime—they’re super convenient, don’t count towards population limit, and can be used as a surprise force to catch enemies off guard!"

Banana said enthusiastically. Controlling this many troops for the first time, the command token felt like it was burning in his hand. He’d save it for the final moment.

"This command token’s pretty nice, super practical! One more thing: in Skeleton Village, the circulating currency isn’t gold coins—it’s Underworld Coins!"

"Underworld Coins?!"
