Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Never mind, let’s head to the dungeon area first.”

Shaking his head, Jiang Cheng suppressed the bizarre thoughts.

Holding A Silly Cutie’s hand, Jiang Cheng left the tavern, preparing to head to the dungeon area.

The exclusive task for the Harbinger of Misfortune was an ultimate task, with a rank as high as Epic.

Going to do this kind of task now would be suicide for him.

However, he still had a task to awaken his dual passives.

He needed to defeat the Calamity Demoness, the Boss of the level 30 dungeon, as well as the Spider Queen, the Boss of the level 40 dungeon.

Upon completion, he could awaken Dark Dawn and Dark Curse, his dual passive skills.

Dual passive skills had two passive effects, just like his Rage Slash, so he absolutely had to obtain these two skills.

“Wait a moment, Skeleton Big Brother. I need to buy some food supplies and potions.”

After saying that, Zhang Mengmeng stopped. Under the stares of other players, she greeted the tavern owner.

“Welcome, fair lady! Our tavern’s Qingshan Trio, Volcano Snow, and Peerless Pair are especially delicious and reasonably priced. Guaranteed satisfaction or your money back!”

Seeing A Silly Cutie’s lavish outfit, the tavern owner immediately tried to sell her many expensive dishes.

“Boss, do you not see if she can afford it? Recommending such expensive dishes to the beauty is simply heartless.”

“Haha, the exchange rate now is 800 yuan per silver. With that money, wouldn’t it be better to have a nice meal in reality?”

“Exactly. All my assets add up to just 5 silver. That’s already considered very wealthy. You recommend such dishes to the beauty, how will she afford potions and equipment repairs?”

The players in the tavern’s hall all laughed. They were clearly quite familiar with the owner.

“Uh… how much per serving?”

Zhang Mengmeng’s breathing was slightly constrained because based on what these players said, the dishes at this tavern seemed to be very expensive.

To be honest, these past two days in the game, she had been eating things like steamed buns and flatbread. The gaming experience was terrible.

Although she didn’t mind, eating too much of that could easily cause physiological discomfort.

Plus the satiety it provided was too low.

However, if it was too expensive, she definitely wouldn’t buy it.

After all, it was Skeleton Big Brother’s money. She had to be frugal in spending it.

“It’s not expensive, dear customer. Qingshan Trio is 1 silver per serving, Volcano Snow is 2 silver per serving, Peerless Pair is 5 silver per serving…”

After hearing these players’ words, the tavern owner was also a bit dumbfounded. He thought he had misjudged.

Seeing A Silly Cutie’s expression when asking the price, the tavern owner became even more certain that A Silly Cutie had no money.

His tone immediately became much more stiff.

“This… it’s so expensive.” Upon hearing the tavern owner’s introduction, Zhang Mengmeng was also stunned.

One serving of Qingshan Trio alone cost 1 silver. In reality, that could buy ten servings. This was simply daylight robbery.

“I’ll give you a list,” Jiang Cheng suddenly appeared behind her and gently reminded.

“Oh, okay.” Zhang Mengmeng obediently nodded.

However, after hearing what Jiang Cheng said, her eyes went wide. “This… isn’t it too expensive…”

“Listen to me.” Jiang Cheng patted her fragrant shoulder.

“Well… alright then.” Although she felt distressed about the gold coins, she still did as told.

“Boss, give me 10 servings of Qingshan Trio, 5 servings of Volcano Snow, 12 servings of Striking Cherries, plus three bottles of grape wine, 5 bottles of Fen wine, and 30 bottles of clear water.”

After saying this, Zhang Mengmeng began trading with the tavern owner.

At this time, the owner, like the surrounding players, had his eyes wide open in utter confusion.

Because added together, these items cost a total of 30 gold coins!

This was the largest transaction he had ever made in all his time at the tavern!

Until the transaction was complete, the tavern owner could hardly believe it, thinking he must be dreaming.

And when the other players saw that A Silly Cutie had finished the transaction, they immediately let out cries of astonishment.

“Holy shit, ruthless! She’s a rich woman! Spending 30 gold coins at once to buy a bunch of useless food. Loaded! Truly f*cking loaded!”

“Damn, some people really live in a different world. This old man has to consider for ages just to buy a steamed bun, while she casually spends 30 gold coins with a wave of her hand. That’s 2.8 million yuan! F*ck, the gaming experience sucks!”

“Who said she had no money? How the hell is this no money? This is simply an inhumanly rich tycoon!”

“Every time I stop to think, I wonder just why I came to play this tycoon’s game.”

The tavern players all looked at A Silly Cutie with envious, jealous, hateful gazes.

Even the lifestyle player waiters in the tavern couldn’t stand it. Their eyes gleamed, wanting to add A Silly Cutie as a friend.

Instantly, a flood of friend requests popped up on Zhang Mengmeng’s interface.

People also surrounded her, blocking her in from all sides.

“Rich woman, need a leg accessory? The kind that comes with a dust cleaning function.”

“Tycoon, let’s be friends! I’m an 18th level Blade Master with blue weapons and 180 attack. Definitely a powerhouse DPS! Bring me along and I guarantee I’ll help you level up lightning quick!”

“Don’t listen to him. Boss, I’m a 20th level mage with 120 magic attack. I’ll help you level. Please add me as a friend!”

“Um, can you all make some room?” Zhang Mengmeng frowned, quite exasperated by this.

These people were really too enthusiastic. It was a bit overwhelming for her.

If not for the game’s anti-harassment mechanism, Zhang Mengmeng reckoned they would immediately pounce on her, hug her legs and refuse to let go, crying and begging her to add them as friends.

“It’s just adding a friend, not a big deal. Boss, don’t…”

*Clang!*

A crisp sword cry resounded through the entire tavern.

A chilling blade edge wreathed in black flames pressed against the neck of a Blade Master player.

In an instant, the entire tavern turned frigid.

A black figure appeared in front of A Silly Cutie, drawing everyone’s gaze to him.

The next moment…

All the players shivered, subconsciously backing away and involuntarily making way for A Silly Cutie.
