Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Master, you’ve come out of seclusion?”

Dharma Demon awkwardly climbed up from the ground, his face full of joy as he ran over.

Lan Xingyue didn’t say anything, only nodding.

“You’ve come too?”

Her voice was still low and deep.

But to their surprise, Qian Shanxue and Qian Chonglang discovered that her voice seemed to be coming from right next to their ears, as if she was standing beside them and speaking directly to them.

Even after she stopped talking, the buzzing in their ears persisted.

Yet Lan Xingyue was clearly far away from them.

“I’ve come to ask you about something.”

Qian Shanxue’s lashes fluttered slightly.

“I’m only interested in magic.” Lan Xingyue suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground full of sparks, instantly extinguishing the sparks and causing thick smoke to rise.

Hearing this, Qian Shanxue didn’t get angry. Instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She sent Qian Chonglang and Dharma Demon away, then got straight to the point.

“Tell me, if a person dies, can they become undead and be resurrected in the game?”

“That kind of thing won’t happen, and it’s not within the scope of magic either.”

Lan Xingyue said very bluntly, then began tidying her hair.

She separated the blood-red strands one by one. Then, some water suddenly appeared in her hand, which she used to wipe her hair.

Instantly, the messy hair was straightened by her hand and coiled behind her ears, revealing her stunning face.

Qian Shanxue’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn’t say anything. “In fact, this kind of thing has happened, and it even appeared in front of me. Aren’t you interested?”

Lan Xingyue’s hand suddenly paused for a moment, then continued combing her hair, seeming unmoved.

But Qian Shanxue noticed that Lan Xingyue’s hand had just trembled.

She knew that Lan Xingyue, who was particularly interested in bizarre events, was definitely tempted.

“What conditions do you have?”

Sure enough, Lan Xingyue couldn’t resist her curiosity and asked.

“I need you to help him resurrect and return to the real world.” Qian Shanxue’s tone turned slightly sour.

Lan Xingyue keenly captured this and glanced at Qian Shanxue. “This ‘he’ is very important to you.”

“His surname is Jiang?”

Qian Shanxue was stunned, her expression changing slightly.

She had only said a few sentences, and Lan Xingyue had already guessed it!

This level of insight was simply terrifying.

She remembered what her master had said, “Don’t let others know my identity, especially that crazy woman.”

She suddenly understood why her master was so wary of this madwoman.

But she really had no choice. Unlike the other gods, she didn’t have vast power or abundant financial resources.

For this kind of supernatural phenomenon, she could only pin her hopes on Dharma Saint.

Because she had once heard Dharma Saint say that her family operated an international pharmaceutical company with many international medical research institutions.

Even the high-grade nutrient solution supplied to players in the luxurious nutrient pods sold by the Great Wasteland came from the pharmaceutical company behind Dharma Saint’s family.

This kind of nutrient solution could not only maintain the daily nutritional needs of the human body but even slightly strengthen the body.

If she wanted to resurrect her master, the only one she could think of was this crazy woman.

Seeing Qian Shanxue remain silent for a long time, Lan Xingyue suddenly smiled and said an unknown phrase.

“It seems I am not alone.”

…

Tianhai City’s downtown area.

Below a 26-story building of Longze International.

Zhang Yitian and Qin Xue looked at the building’s floors, their tones quite uncertain. “Tiantian, are you sure your sister lives here?”

Qin Xue’s expression was a bit doubtful.

Because this neighborhood was much more high-end than the one their family lived in.

Zhang Mengmeng had no skills, no job, and no boyfriend. She had been away from home for so long, yet she still had money to live in this kind of neighborhood?

“This should be the place. I heard it from Brother Haoming. He’s now an official member of the Dream Peak Club, someone we can’t measure up to. Could his words be false?”

“It seems this girl has hit the jackpot? Come on, Tiantian, let’s go up and see.”

A flash of jealousy passed through Qin Xue’s eyes as she pulled Zhang Yitian into the building.

However, what Zhang Yitian found strange was that when he glanced at the parking line on the side of the road just now, he seemed to have seen his club boss’s car parked at the bottom of the building.

Their Aotian Club’s boss was a true bigwig with assets over 100 million yuan. Why would he come to this kind of neighborhood?

Not thinking too much about it, he felt he might have seen wrong and followed his mom to wait by the elevator.

“Did you hear? Just now, Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix joined forces but were wiped out by a black skeleton in Luoyun City.”

“I heard about it long ago. I’d say that black skeleton is truly awesome. A skeleton actually shattered two mythic legends. Simply invincible.”

“Haha, I bet the Temple’s guild leader’s face has turned black now? The matter of anti-Cutie Shakes the World just gave A Silly Cutie some momentum. They finally got Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix to attract some attention, but it ended up making A Silly Cutie look better again.”

“No way. Weren’t Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix fighting over the right to confess to A Silly Cutie? What does that have to do with the Temple’s momentum?”

“Are you stupid or what? Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix have such a good relationship. Moreover, I heard rumors that Immortal Phoenix seems to be married and even has a wife. Would he fight Array Emperor over confession rights?”

While waiting for the elevator, people around Zhang Yitian and Qin Xue kept discussing events in the Great Wasteland game.

Qin Xue, as Zhang Mengmeng’s stepmother, was already 38 years old. She wasn’t very clear about these things in the game.

Although she had also logged into the Great Wasteland, it was for the 3:1 time ratio.

She would go online just to play mahjong with her girlfriends, so she was completely lost listening to this.

On the other hand, Zhang Yitian beside her listened with great interest, itching to interject and chat with them for a bit.

He was now favored by a club and had become a substitute member of the club’s team. Although he hadn’t been officially assigned a team account yet, his favorite topic was about the Great Wasteland.

If it weren’t for having something to do this time, he would have joined them long ago.

However… as he listened, something felt off.

“This A Silly Cutie, isn’t that the ID that skank… used to like using before?”

Zhang Yitian was a bit confused because these days in the club, he had heard a lot of gossip about the Great Wasteland.

Many of them were about this A Silly Cutie. He heard she was the number one guild leader in the world and also number one on the level leaderboard.

When he heard this name at the time, he didn’t think much of it. After all, the identities of the two were too far apart.

But now hearing this name again, he finally remembered that his sister had indeed registered with this ID in Mythic before.

However, after thinking about it, he suddenly understood.

A Silly Cutie was A Silly Cutie, and his sister was his sister. How could the two possibly be the same person?

*Ding.*

The elevator suddenly opened.

Zhang Yitian and Qin Xue walked in and pressed the button for the 22nd floor.

The elevator slowly rose. Qin Xue suddenly said,

“Tiantian, you have to be polite to your sister this time. The Aotian Club recruited you as a substitute team member but clearly stated that you must bring a logistics assistant. Our family doesn’t have the ability to help you request an assistant, so this hope falls on your sister. You can’t throw a tantrum. Later, you have to call her ‘sister,’ understand?”

“Alright, Mom, you’ve said it 800 times already. I know. I defeated dozens of opponents to be selected into the Aotian Club. Would I not cherish this opportunity?”

Zhang Yitian’s expression shifted slightly. “I’ll definitely make her agree later.”

“Good, good, good. That’s my good son.” Qin Xue smiled with relief.

At this time, the two people who were discussing earlier suddenly spoke up in surprise.

“Damn, bro, I didn’t expect you to be from the Aotian Club. The Aotian Club moved here from the capital. In Tianhai City, it’s known as one of the three major clubs along with Dream Peak and Chasing Dreams. I heard their boss, Qi Tun Tianxia, is a disciple of the Fist Sage, and his senior sister is the goddess Yun Xiang. You’re going to make it big!”

“Ah, the Aotian Club is so famous?” Hearing someone praise her son, Qin Xue was filled with pride.

“Of course. Although the Aotian Club can’t rank nationally, with the backing of the Shanhe Club, the overlord, they’re a force to be reckoned with in Tianhai City. Auntie, your son is going to rise to prominence in the future!”

“Young man, you flatter me, you flatter me.” Qin Xue was all smiles.

“Then, young man, about that A Silly Cutie you mentioned earlier, who has more power compared to the Aotian Club?”

“Uh… there’s no comparison at all.”

The man said this with a trace of disdain.

But before he could finish, Zhang Yitian beside him spoke first.

“Mom, don’t embarrass yourself. What kind of figure is A Silly Cutie? The number one guild leader in the world, also a big shot at the top of the level leaderboard. The Aotian Club can’t compare. Let’s go.”

Zhang Yitian looked at Qin Xue with some disgust.

Then he pulled her out of the elevator.

“Hey, son, why are you pulling me?”

Qin Xue was a bit dissatisfied. She hadn’t finished showing off yet, so how could she leave so quickly?

“Is this A Silly Cutie as amazing as you say?”

“Mom, she’s more than just amazing. Do you know about the Twelve Gods?”

“I know. Although your mom doesn’t like playing games, I still know about these twelve big stars, especially that little puppy Array Emperor. He’s your mom’s favorite.”

“Then do you know that A Silly Cutie just went 1 vs 2 and defeated your little puppy and another major god?”

“My god, is she that incredible? Is it a he or a she? It should be a she, right? Son, you’re quite capable now. Do you have the confidence to pursue her?”

Zhang Yitian glared at her. “Mom, you just don’t understand anything. I don’t want to bother explaining to you.”

“This A Silly Cutie is in a completely different world from us, okay?”

“Alright, we’re here. Hurry up and ring the doorbell.”

Zhang Yitian arrived at room 2202 and said to Qin Xue without regard for seniority.
