What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 930 Goodbye, Skeleton Brother
However, Bai Wan thought about it and realized that it made sense. The other party already had a Curse-level item and a discount card from the store, so there was no doubt that there were strange games in this era.

Ning Yue looked at Bai Wan, then at the Crimson Shop, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a rare shop; I've hardly ever been there."

"Why don't we go take a look together?" Bai Wan invited him.

“Okay, let’s see what’s inside.” Ning Yue nodded, also very curious.

The two of them walked into the Crimson Shop. Looking at Ning Yue beside him, Bai Wan couldn't help but recall his first time entering the Crimson Shop, which was in the Letter Dungeon with the Hairy Monster.

Ning Yue and Su Yuening look almost identical, giving Bai Wan a strange feeling, as if he had returned to that time.

Back then, it was the first time he and Su Yuening had entered a dungeon together, and they weren't very familiar with each other. Now, he and Ning Yue were in the same situation, so this feeling was quite novel to him.

It felt like we had truly returned to the beginning.

"What are you looking at?" Ning Yue asked Bai Wan curiously.

"It's nothing. The friend I told you about, we went into this store," Bai Wan said.

"Hmm, that friend who looks exactly like me." Ning Yue's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything.

The two had already arrived at the Crimson Shop and were looking around when Bai Wan's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a familiar figure inside: a skeleton wrapped in bandages sitting in front of the shop's goods.

"Wow! Isn't this my Skeleton Brother?" Bai Wan walked over with a look of surprise, as if meeting an old friend, ready to recognize Skeleton Brother.

"Hey bro, long time no see! Where have you been all these episodes?"

The skeleton merchant was leisurely sitting in a chair admiring his goods.

When it saw Bai Wan approaching, it didn't react because the other party looked like Nani, but when it saw that cheeky and shameless tone, the skeleton merchant suddenly shuddered.

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

It let out a huge squeak!
"Ah, you're so excited. You really missed me. Where did you go? Let me see... Hey, you have new bandages, you rascal."

Bai Wan looked curiously at the bandages wrapped around the skeleton merchant's body, where information appeared.

[The second bandage given by my first love, a skeleton girlfriend]

"Well, your girlfriend actually gave you another bandage. Congratulations, bro." Bai Wan looked at the skeleton merchant with a smile, while the skeleton merchant hurriedly retreated with a series of "uh uh uh" sounds, shaking his head frantically.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

"Hey, why are you so scared? I'm not going to buy bandages again. I was weaker back then, but now I have a lot of weird items on me. Like your bandages, I'm already..." Bai Wan explained to the skeleton brother with a smile, but when he saw the quality of the bandages, Bai Wan's eyes widened in surprise.

Because it says "Special Ju-on Level" above.

Goodness, this skeleton's second bandage has become so high quality! It's been so long, has he gone to find his first love, his skeleton girlfriend?

Bai Wan's voice, which was originally saying, "I have so many strange props, I don't even need your bandages," suddenly became weaker, and she changed the subject.

"But speaking of which, bro, your bandage is actually pretty good... Special Ju-on level. Hey, your girlfriend gave it to you, it wouldn't be right for me to take it, I'm not that unreasonable, it's just putting me in a difficult position."

The skeleton's face was black, even though he was originally black bones.

Bai Wan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his older brother's expression, and comforted him, "Just kidding, don't worry, it's true."

The skeleton merchant saw Bai Wan staring at its bandages, and then it actually opened its mouth wide and took two crunchy bites on its bloodstained bandages.

Bai Wan: "??"

Bai Wan stared in disbelief as the "Special Curse-Level Bloodstained Bandage" turned into a "Torn Blood-Red Bandage," its quality dropping back to Blood-Red level.

Bai Wan: "..." Isn't this a bit much?
I was just saying it offhand, but you got scared.

Bai Wan was speechless. It seemed the skeleton had some misunderstanding about him? He'd rather take a couple of bites of this thing and reduce it to Crimson level...

Ning Yue watched Bai Wan and the skeleton interact with some curiosity.

"Do you know?"

Bai Wan nodded and said, "Yes, this is my old acquaintance, Brother Skull. I've bought things from him several times, so I'm considered a regular customer."

"Is that so?" Ning Yue asked, somewhat doubtful as she saw the black skeleton's unwilling and pitiful cries.

"That's it, let me see what good stuff we have this time." Bai Wan walked to the shelf with great curiosity, and her eyes lit up when she saw what was on it.

There are many strange items, but Bai Wan no longer needs them. After all, he already has several from the Abyss, and he doesn't necessarily need to obtain the special Crimson-level items. Look how scared the Skeleton Brother was; he actually bit it and broke it himself.

But one thing caught Bai Wan's eye: a shimmering crystal piece was placed among them—a fragment of the Awakening Crystal.

Bai Wan already has two pieces. If he buys this one, he will have a total of three pieces. Then, as long as he buys one more piece, he can completely complete his awakening.

That was his own genuine awakening, unlike the forced awakening achieved by the awakening test crystals that Dr. Fang researched.

Bai Wan didn't know how powerful it would be. He remembered that its strongest World Vulnerability Mode was terrifying, but the crystals would be consumed quickly.

Bai Wan was curious, wondering what level his error code would reach if he awakened through normal means.

Bai Wan was about to make a purchase, but then he remembered that Ning Yue had given him a discount card, and he wondered what it might contain.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Wan used the card directly.

[Ding! A random item has been converted into 1 Ghost Coin.]

Bai Wan looked at the Awakening Crystal in front of him, but unfortunately the price hadn't changed to 1. It seemed that this item wasn't involved. He scanned the surrounding area and showed a strange expression because he found that none of the items around him cost 1 Ghost Coin.

In other words, his discount card is not valid for these items. How is that possible?

Bai Wan was somewhat puzzled, and Ning Yue also looked puzzled as she said, "This discount card is genuine; I got it from the weird game."

Ning Yue was afraid that Bai Wan would think she had given her a fake product, so she assured him.

"I know it's true, and I even received a notification." Bai Wan nodded. He clearly received a notification that an item had turned into 1 Ghost Coin, but it wasn't there in front of him. What was going on?

Suddenly, Bai Wan looked at the skeleton brother and saw that the skeleton brother was a little nervous, as if he was hiding something behind his body.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Bai Wan narrowed his eyes and walked behind the skeleton brother. The skeleton brother, as if his hair had been pricked up, spread his hands to stop Bai Wan from getting any closer.

What's so great about this? You're not even letting me buy it after using a discount card?
Bai Wan used the Kun Dance Step to teleport behind his brother, only to discover that there was a hidden door behind him. It turned out that the skeleton brother had been blocking the door with his body all along.

It turned out to be a hidden door. What was inside?
Bai Wan curiously opened it, and when she saw what was inside, she was stunned. It was another skeleton, but with a small flower on its head, making it look like a female skeleton.

Information about the skull appeared above.
【Skull Flower】

[Detailed Explanation: The Black Skull Merchant's First Love, the Skull Girlfriend.]

[Ability: Can possess and fuse with any ability or item, becoming an indestructible shield.]

【Price: 1 Ghost Coin】
