Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 88: Premium Card

"Eh?" Su Ran’s sharp eyes spotted a round hole on the top of the stone pillar, filled with bones. If you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t realize that there was a gap.

The bone insect tried it; its size was perfect for the hole. And thus, the insect crawled, perilously, into the interior of this skeletal stone pillar.

"Swoosh!"

A terrifying suction came from the lower end of the pillar. The bone insect, like a bullet discharged from a gun, was instantaneously drawn to the base of the pillar.

"Luckily, it’s okay!" Su Ran watched the bone insect, which had lost almost half of its Qi Blood, with heartfelt relief. Checking its spine, he found with a sigh of relief, no crushing fractures...

This game design was too extreme. Su Ran inwardly cursed at the game’s designers, before examining the interior of the skeletal stone pillar, wondering what it held.

Next, Su Ran was surprised to find a mysterious card embedded inside the pillar.

A card! Su Ran was overjoyed at the sight of the treasure and controlled the bone insect to worm its way over and pry it out.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player’s bone insect clone on obtaining a special card!"

A BOSS level Card Beast!

Su Ran’s eyes shone brightly. He wished he could rush to the third floor of the Demon Tower right now and secure this card!

But considering Su Ran’s circumstances, what should he do?

Should he unleash the Card Beast on the spot? Su Ran was reluctant; the Card Beast could be very useful at the right moment!

Just as Su Ran was in utter dilemmas, the system notification sounded.

"Ding! The player’s skeleton gaming time is up. For a better gaming experience, please be prepared. The game will automatically log out after five minutes."

"Ding! Based on player complaints and suggestions, we are updating the game. For the update contents, please follow the Battle of Deities and Demons forum. The update time will be from 06:00-18:00. Stay tuned!"

Damn, it’s already the offline hour. Su Ran’s head buzzed. Should he log out directly? Su Ran shook his head. Other players would also log in the next evening. There wouldn’t be much chance, his bone insect might not be able to make it out. How could he get his hands on this precious card?

Su Ran put on a serious expression, a crazed look in his eyes. He’d go for it, make the last-ditch effort one minute before the countdown! By that time, most of the players would have logged out, there was hope!

Finally, four minutes passed. The bone insect, which had already crawled to the top of the skeletal stone pillar, exerted itself. The insect shot upwards, aiming for the teleportation array leading to the second floor!

The several skeleton warriors on this floor were instantly attracted to the intruding bone insect, swinging their massive scythes in pursuit.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two consecutive slashes passed through the descending bone insect, causing a sharp drop in its Qi Blood. Su Ran’s heart clenched.

The bone insect crashed onto the ground and before it could adjust its body, the skeleton warriors in front of it struck it with a scythe. The bone insect was sent flying uncontrollably once more, crashing directly into the teleportation array leading to the second floor.

The white light flashed, and the bone insect appeared in the second-floor space of the Demon Tower. Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief; the first hurdle had been crossed! As long as the bone insect reached the first floor, Su Ran would obtain this extraordinary card!

However,

"Bang!"

Just as the bone insect emerged from the second floor, it ran into a player.

Su Ran turned pale with fright. The player it collided with was none other than that in-and-out player, Ni Wudao!

Ni Wudao had been waiting outside the Demon Tower for some time without seeing any sign of the Fire Mage God and the One Spear. Alarmed, Ni Wudao was further flustered when he received a system notification that his offline time was almost up.

If he logged out at this time, it would be hard to encounter the slippery little skeleton again. Ni Wudao surmised that Fire Mage God and the others had probably logged out early, and without any other players blocking him, he’d take his shot at the Demon Tower now!

Ni Wudao rushed alone into the first level of the Demon Tower, quickly surveying the monsters on this level, but didn’t see a single skeleton. Time was running out, so Ni Wudao sprinted toward the second-floor space without stopping!

A skeleton warrior attacked the unexpected visitor, Ni Wudao. Ni Wudao sidestepped to avoid the attack, and hastily began surveying the map of the new level. Still no sign of the damn slippery skeleton! Where the hell was it hiding?! Ni Wudao thought vengefully, and, steeling himself, headed straight for the teleportation array to the third floor!

However, at that moment, Ni Wudao collided with the bone insect.

Ni Wudao’s heart soared. He hadn’t found the damned skeleton, but he’d accidentally run into the mutant monster, the bone insect! While the bone insect was still recovering, Ni Wudao landed a blow directly on it.

"Zing!"

No doubt about it, Ni Wudao was a player on the leader-board. His reaction speed far outpaced that of the bone insect, striking the first blow. The bone insect, blasted off the teleportation array by Ni Wudao’s powerful force, crashed onto the ground.

"Jump Cut!"

To strike while the iron is hot! Ni Wudao roared, launched a series of moves, leaped up, and mercilessly chopped his cold-blade great sword on the bone insect’s spine.

The bone insect, already depleted of most of its Qi Blood, was hit by these two consecutive attacks, instantly losing all its Qi Blood and falling to the ground. An inconspicuous card slipped out of its mouth as it died.

After attacking, Ni Wudao stuttered. It was dead? This bone insect was too weak after all?

There wasn’t much time left. Ni Wudao quickly rushed over to where the bone insect had fallen. A mutant beast should burst some top-notch equipment, right?

"Eh, what’s this?" Ni Wudao suddenly discovered that the bone insect actually burst into a card. He casually picked it up and inadvertently examined the properties of the card. Ni Wudao’s eyes bulged in surprise!

"Hahahaha, I’ve hit the jackpot!" For several days now, Ni Wudao had been frustrated, but at this moment, he swept away his dejection and laughed excitedly. He quickly pulled out a Town Recall Scroll. Then, with a flash of white light, he vanished.

At this moment, Su Ran pitifully watched the events that had just unfolded: Ni Wudao, oh Ni Wudao, you profited from me once again. All right. consider it a reimbursement! Who was it that almost drove you mad?

So much for fate’s quirks.

Su Ran gave a dull laugh, shook his head, then, with just a few seconds left, stepped onto the teleporter that led to the secret room!

"Swoosh!"

Where was this? Su Ran was astounded by the scene in front of him. It didn’t look like the first floor of the Demon Tower but was actually a place he had never set foot in before.

Unfortunately, Su Ran didn’t even have time to adjust to his new surroundings, the game time ran out, and he was forcefully logged off.
