401: Chapter 400: Bringing Back to Reality 401: Chapter 400: Bringing Back to Reality Su Ran made a face, thinking to himself that this method was as good as not saying anything at all.

Was the legendary Chaos Heavenly Bead so easy to obtain?

The Heavenly Thunder Bead he held had been obtained purely by luck and chance.

If it weren’t for the generous green hat gamer, he wouldn’t have thought it was even possible to gather this Heavenly Thunder Bead.

It was like a wild goose chase!

On second thought, the creation of the skeleton guards could be postponed until thirteen days later.

With the absolute defense effects of the passive skills guarding beast king now, there was no need to waste monetary value on maintaining hundreds of skeleton guards.

He wasn’t that naive!

“Sir, can you recall what I mentioned about the remnant of King Snake earlier?”

Su Ran hadn’t forgotten.

The old beggar had once told him that the remnant of the King Snake could be of great use.

But until now, Su Ran still couldn’t figure out what purpose this remnant served.

“My lord, quickly take out its heart!”

The old beggar became very excited upon hearing the words “King Snake.” This was something his ancestors had sealed, and it had a significant connection with him.

Upon hearing this, Su Ran rummaged carefully in his bladder and finally took out a peculiar core that had been buried at the bottom.

The core was filled with pulsating veins and continuously emitted a breath of life, although its luster was a bit dull.

Then, Su Ran gave it to the old beggar, who was eagerly awaiting this object.

The old beggar quickly accepted it, examining it with both hands growing more fond as he looked on.

“My lord, do you still have the black cloth wrap I gave you?

The one that was used to wrap the Asura Heart!”

“Fortunately, I didn’t lose it.

Here.”

Su Ran passed the filthy black cloth wrap to the old beggar.

He remembered that this wrap had a sealing effect, so he had kept it all this time.

“Haha, that’s it!”

The old beggar laughed, displaying a mouthful of yellow teeth, and caressed it non-stop in his hand.

It gave Su Ran the slightly nauseating impression that this rotten cloth was like a woman’s undergarments.

Then, the old beggar used the black cloth wrap to seal the peculiar core and smiled at Su Ran, “My lord, we need to build a Demon-sealing Platform next.

Once that’s done, the purpose of the King Snake will be realized.”

“Demon-sealing Platform?

That’s a building that can only be constructed in a level five territory!”

Su Ran exclaimed.

He had initially wanted to upgrade to a level five territory just to build the Demon-sealing Platform.

With this building, he could effectively prevent the betrayal of the Drought Fiend, the Ghost King.

But the upgrade to level five would entail facing a massive attack from the demon race, so he had to temporarily abandon this idea.

He had tried his best to increase the loyalty of the Drought Fiend and put this matter aside.

“Well, with you here, sir, none of this is a problem.

I’ll need your help with the construction.”

Seeing the old beggar’s inscrutable smile, Su Ran recalled that the old beggar could construct buildings beyond their level requirement!

Su Ran had to admit, an Architectural Grandmaster really was impressive.

They could ignore the game rules as if they were a living glitch in the system!

No wonder the Human Emperor was enraged and regretful after losing an Architectural Grandmaster.

So that’s why!

Why the old beggar ended up in such a miserable condition, and what he had experienced, had long become a speck of dust in the river of history.

Afterward, under Su Ran’s guidance, the old beggar started constructing the Demon-sealing Platform and houses.

Because he was a native of the God-Demon Continent, the construction would take a lot of time.

Su Ran wasn’t used to this, as he had help from the system god that could construct anything instantly.

“While there’s time, I’ll log out and see if this Evolution Elixir really did get into reality.

Even though I can’t eat it directly, there’s no harm in taking a look, right?”

Su Ran’s mind had matured due to his suffering from the disease, but his curiosity remained.

He constantly doubted the truth of this matter, and only seeing would be believing.

Therefore, he held the grimy Evolution Elixir, choosing to log out directly.

“Phew, home sweet home!”

Su Ran had faced too many life-or-death situations in the game, which kept him on edge.

Once he returned to reality, he finally relaxed, deeply appreciating the unparalleled warmth home brought him.

Getting up from the game pod, he opened his clenched palm and found, shockingly, a dirty gray elixir lying honestly in his hand.

“Oh my God, it really does come out.

This is amazing?!”

Su Ran shouted in surprise.

He could really bring virtual items from the game into reality!

How was this achieved, it defied even scientific explanation!

Su Ran was delighted.

He squeezed the inconspicuous elixir, which was very elastic and felt great, just like in the game.

“Daoist Wang really overdid it.

It looks like this; there’s no appetite to eat it at all!”

Su Ran said frustratingly, recalling Daoist Wang’s constant rolling and reluctance to let go, which made him feel sickened every time he looked at this Evolution Elixir.

If he hadn’t known about its mighty effectiveness, he would have thrown it away long ago.

“Little Ran, I heard you talking, come out and eat!

I’m going to heat up the food, finish your meal before playing the game, got it?”

The voice of Su’s mother was so powerful it penetrated several walls, reaching Su Ran’s ears crystal clear.

“Yes, Mom!”

Su Ran replied, tossed the miraculous Evolution Elixir casually into the drawer, and trudged towards the outside.

He had to keep this Evolution Elixir a secret from his mother.

With that big mouth of hers, he didn’t trust her anymore.

This extraordinary elixir was too precious.

It could bring fatal disaster, so no one else could know about it!

But just as Su Ran stepped out of the room, he was spotted by the little black cat.

The small creature cocked its head and kept meowing, swinging its small paw in the air, signaling Su Ran to come over.

“Little Black, how are you feeling today?”

With a smile on his face, Su Ran stepped over, gently rubbing Little Black’s head.

If it weren’t for the wound on its leg, he would have lifted this likable little black cat by now.

“Meow~”

Little Black closed its eyes comfortably, appearing completely content.

Whenever Su Ran saw Little Black’s lower body, he always felt a pang of emotion.

He considered himself to be way luckier than Little Black.

Despite suffering from an incurable disease, he could still move around, while Little Black could only lie in its nest for the rest of its life, keeping company with loneliness.

After playing with Little Black for a while, Su Ran headed toward the living room to eat.

However,

Not long after Su Ran left, his game pod sent out invisible, silent waves.

The ripples pierced the walls and spread out like it was a signal, lasting for an unusually long time.

…

At a certain base, in a certain mysterious department.

“Did we receive the signal source?”

A commanding voice rang in this enclosed space, a hint of excitement in the tone.
