Chapter 67: Other Rewards

Chapter 67: Other Rewards

The chief battle flag and the champion ring are essential items.

After accepting these two items, the third vampire girl behind Lu Yongchang came forward with a tray.

On this tray was something like a parchment scroll.

"Gu Xi, your skill is the Death City, so for this reward, we have prepared a piece of land that can be fused to expand your Death City.

This is the deed for the land. As long as you open it in your Death City, it will automatically add a large plot, three medium plots, and seven small plots to your city.

Please take this."

Gu Xi knew that Lu Yongchang had put in a lot of effort to prepare this reward, and he quickly stepped forward, accepting the parchment scroll with both hands.

As soon as he received the parchment scroll, a ding sound echoed in Gu Xi's ears.

[Acquired Old City Ruins Deed]

[Old City Ruins, Area: 0.85 square kilometers, Population: None. After occupying, you will get three abandoned laboratories (large buildings, temporary instances, require combat, high danger level), one large plot, three medium plots, and seven small plots.]

Looking at the information that popped up, Gu Xi was momentarily stunned.

The rest was fine, but what about the abandoned laboratories?

Why are there three of them, and why are they marked as dangerous?

Before Gu Xi could ponder this, another vampire girl behind Lu Yongchang came forward with another item.

At this point, Gu Xi put aside the Old City Ruins Deed and turned his attention to the new item.

This new item was a silver cloak, which had a shimmering surface when placed on the tray.

"Necromancers are backline players, so take this invisibility cloak.

Because we couldn't find a better one in time, this one has some flaws, but it has been upgraded in rank. You can use it for now, and I'll find you a better one next time."

Hearing this, Gu Xi smiled and temporarily shelved his previous doubts.

This invisibility cloak was crucial for Gu Xi.

The difference between having three key abilities versus two is significant, and Gu Xi was very aware of this.

"Thank you, Dean."

After thanking Lu Yongchang, Gu Xi accepted the invisibility cloak.

As soon as he held the invisibility cloak, Gu Xi frowned slightly.

This cloak had issues too.

[Acquired Silver Dragon Invisibility Cloak]

[Silver Dragon Invisibility Cloak (Purple): An invisibility cloak made from silver dragon skin, providing invisibility equivalent to Level 5 stealth. However, due to the silver dragon skin, it is not very friendly to necromancer-type professions or creatures.]

Seeing this description, if Gu Xi didn't realize he was being targeted, he would be a fool.

Someone didn't want him to receive his rewards smoothly.

Thinking about this, Gu Xi instead smiled.

It wasn't hard to guess who was behind this: it was either that scholar or the vice president of Steel Ghost Claw.

Gu Xi was blocking someone's path.

"Thank you, Dean."

"It's nothing. I thought you wouldn't like it. Actually, we've always had trouble finding good invisibility cloaks, and we could only find this one in a short time."

"It's fine. If it's given by the academy, I'll like it."

Gu Xi remained polite to Lu Yongchang.

"That's good. Next is this, a recruitment order. With this, you can recruit 50 skeleton soldiers, 20 zombies, and 10 ghosts in the academy, all of which are formal units."

Gu Xi heard this and asked in confusion.

"Dean, isn't this too much?"

"Not at all. By normal standards, the chief can recruit 40 skeleton soldiers, 15 zombies, and 5 ghosts. But since the previous recruitment orders have already been given out, I can't ask them to return the undead they took.

Even if they could return them, you wouldn't dare to take them, right?

So, I decided to give you an upgrade, distributing according to the instructor's standard.

Take it, don't worry. It's what you deserve."

"Okay." Gu Xi decisively accepted this situation upon hearing it.

However, he also understood that even if he went to recruit, what he would get would be the most ordinary skeleton soldiers, zombies, and ghosts. There was no need to think about leader or warrior-level units, and mutated professions or routes were even less likely to exist.

Even so, this greatly alleviated the shortage of troops Gu Xi was facing.

At least he could handle the situation at the docks.

Gu Xi didn't know that below the award stage, a young man about his age was glaring at him with gritted teeth.

"Song Sheng, relax. Don't show too much emotion."

"Dad, I'm not convinced. Clearly, I should be..."

"Alright, it's just a chief title. Don't worry, he won't live long. A dead genius is no genius."

Hearing his father's words, the young man named Song Sheng relaxed and looked at Gu Xi with less hatred.

In just a few hours, his father, the vice president of Steel Ghost Claw, had already planned how to target Gu Xi.

Didn't Gu Xi have control over the Death City?

Then they would give him a deed to expand the city.

However, this deed had some problems. Initially, it was not called the Old City Ruins Deed but the Old City Deed.

It turned into ruins because their people had entered the three laboratories and unleashed what was inside.

Wasn't Gu Xi proud of having a city? A chief?

They would let him see the consequences of opening all three laboratory doors.

As for the invisibility cloak and the recruitment order, they had been tampered with as well.

The invisibility cloak carried the aura of the silver dragon. It could turn one invisible, but it would make a necromancer uncomfortable, likely causing them to slip up on the battlefield.

And the tampering with the recruitment order was even simpler.

How could Gu Xi be interested enough to open the three laboratories without enough soldiers?

Only by letting Gu Xi engage with the laboratories could they destroy him.

Of course, if Gu Xi was cautious, they had other ways to deal with him.

As his father said, a dead genius was no genius.

Gu Xi didn't know any of this at the time.

After putting away the recruitment order, the last vampire girl stepped forward.

On her tray was a jade-like skull.

Seeing this skull, Gu Xi felt the same sensation as when he first saw the little owl tower.

"I think you recognize this. It's a personal gift from me, the design of a shrine.

You are now the lord of a city, and your city should have its own units.

For us necromancers, regardless of the path, we always need some skeleton soldiers.

This shrine design has some interesting features that you might find useful."

Gu Xi accepted the jade-like skull, and a ding sounded in his ears again.

[Acquired White Bone Shrine Design (Large)]

[White Bone Shrine (Large): Use 1500 resources, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of wood to build a large White Bone Shrine in your city.

After construction, it can train 30 skeleton soldiers per week.

If there are other shrines, it can create a regional link, increasing the training speed of skeleton soldiers by 50%.]
