Blacksmith Li’s commission, weapon materials — Mine ten pieces of patterned Yuan Baos. There is no time limit for the task. Will you take it?” Eh, patterned Yuan baos? Another thing used by the dead. “Accepted!” “Lord, I recommend that you upgrade your mining level as much as possible. Off you go.” Blacksmith Li did not even lift his head and continued to hammer at the cooled iron piece. Tch, mining? More like grave-digging level! Su Ran chuckled at his own irony, heading towards the large expanse of tombs inside his territory. “Ding! Your Skull game time has reached its limit. To ensure an uninterrupted gaming experience, please make preparations for leaving the game. You will be automatically exited from the game in five minutes.” Ugh, time’s up. Su Ran hurriedly rummaged through his treasured items inside his pelvic bone, he remembered that he had dug up an exquisite coffin before, lying inside could even earn him some experience points, found it! [Primitive Ancient Coffin] (Tent type tool) Durability: 30000 When used outside battle, it will gradually increase player’s Qi Blood and recover injuries. The healing effect stops when healing is completed or when it’s interrupted. Every minute, the player gains 10 points of experience, until the durability of the coffin reaches 0. Note: An unnamed extraterrestrial stone, possessing soul pacifying effect. It was rather a waste to make a stone coffin out of it in the past, shaping it into a stone tool would have been perfect. Su Ran satisfyingly lay inside this somewhat luxurious ancient coffin, even taking the time to close the coffin lid, before exiting the game. … S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Ran emerged from the high-tech Nutrition Cabin, stretched, ready to start a new day. Suddenly. Su Ran noticed his mom, who’d fallen asleep at the head of his bed. She seemed to be dreaming, appearing tranquil one moment, joyous the next, and then furrowing her eyebrows. Tears were still moist around her eyes and she was still lying there, no idea how long she’d been asleep. “Mom, can’t I give you peace of mind?” Su Ran’s eyes moistened. He picked up a thick piece of clothing and laid it on his mother’s body. She awoke, she was a light sleeper and woke as soon as Su Ran touched her. “Oh dear, son, I intended to see how you were doing and fell asleep.” His mother looked slightly embarrassed, “Your mom will go prepare meals for you right now!” She quickly got up, barely took a step and almost fell over, her legs numb from sleeping in such a position. Su Ran, in front of her, supported her just in time. “Mom, don’t be so reckless. What’s the rush? It’s only 6 o’clock.” Su Ran said gently, “I’m not starving yet. Sit comfortably, I’ll tell you some exciting stories about my game.” “I wasn’t reckless, it’s just my legs were numb.” Su’s mother rubbed her legs, looking a bit wronged. But when she saw her son’s eyes gleaming as he talked about the game, she was overjoyed, “Come on, your mother is eager to hear it. You must have got another treasure!” Soon, laughter echoed through the Su household. This drew curious looks from their neighbors who were out for their morning exercises. Was there some good news in the Su family? “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard laughter from that home, the weather is really good today.” Mr. Li, strolling past with a bird cage, a normally solemn man, couldn’t help but smile, and humming a little tune, he headed off on his walk. … In class, Su Ran arrived punctually in the classroom. “Hey, Su the Talented, good morning!” Lin Yuqing smiled sweetly, “You look great today!” “Well, this is called the virtuous man gets divine help, the Heavenly Dao is fair, the source of luck is deep!” Su Ran was in a good mood, he laughed. “Hmm~ Mr.Su, how do you plan to distribute your source of luck?” “Oh, evenly, evenly.” Su Ran laughed, he remembered their scene in the single room. Lin Yuqing’s eyes curved into crescents, a sweet joy spread across her face. She lowered her head to the textbooks on the desk, but her innocent heart was already elsewhere. “Su Ran.” A voice as sweet as a spring passed from behind, although it was a bit cold, it was very clear, like a dash of coolness on a hot summer day. “Han, what’s up?” Surprised to hear it was Han Siying calling him, Su Ran turned his head back. “Here’s this for you.” Han Siying took out her exquisite, small mobile phone and handed it to Su Ran. Su Ran was embarrassed, he was a little afraid to use Han Siying’s phone, he glanced at Zhang Meng’s seat from the corner of his eyes. Phew, luckily, Zhang Meng and his followers were not there, considering class hadn’t begun. Su Ran took the phone, it displayed the forum of the game Gods and Demons. “Buying at high price: ‘Fire Source Sphere’, Fire God.” “Buying at high price: ‘Curse Chain’, One Great Rod.” “Gathering party to kill BOSS, friends, if interested, contact me, Ni Wudao!” Su Ran didn’t need to look at the first two posts to know, those two top players couldn’t bear to lose their items, still hoping that their top-grade equipment could return to their hands. Unfortunately, that ‘Curse Chain’ was reclaimed by the system with Su Ran’s generosity. But as for the post by Ni Wudao, Su Ran couldn’t ignore it. Group killing the BOSS? Could it be the little skeleton that had killed Ni Wudao three times? Su Ran’s face grew a bit unnatural. True, if anyone had killed Ni Wudao three times, and each time his weapon dropped, they would certainly go mad. Of all things, why did it have to drop weapons?! He felt a bit guilty, he was just lucky. Su Ran casually opened Ni Wudao’s post. “Tonight at 10 o’clock, gather at the novice map ‘Sinister Grave Ridge’ to kill the BOSS, and get golden equipment! Friends who are interested, contact me directly, Ni Wudao!” However, the comments underneath were a series of initials: SB. Su Ran flipped through several pages, finally seeing comments with texts. “Novice map’s BOSS? Old Ni, has your brain short-circuited? You should go to the psychiatric hospital!” “Pfft! The joke of the year, the novice map BOSS can drop golden items!” “A small BOSS requires a group kill? One fart from you, Ni Wudao, could leave it dead! Hahaha~” Further down, it was still a series of SB. With that, Su Ran was reassured. It’s not bad to be a novice map’s BOSS after all. Situated far away from the kingdom, there were no transportation arrays present here, and it would take a considerable amount of time and energy to get here from a city to kill a minor BOSS, unaware of whether it would drop any equipment, and definitely not worth it. Ni Wudao, ah Ni Wudao, how would you make your move! Su Ran quickly returned the phone to Han Siying, hesitant to hold onto it for too long lest it ‘burns’ him. He nodded at her, then returned to his own seat. Shortly after, Zhang Meng and several of his friends walked into the classroom, laughing and talking. Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief, that was close! During class, the teacher was going through some examples on the stage. Most students were fully engrossed in their studies. After all, they were already in their final year; university entrance exams were around the corner, wasn’t it about time to work hard? Su Ran was no exception. He used to fantasize about living past the university entrance exams next year, leap over the dragon gate, and die without regrets!
