Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Although Ning Tairan drove Lin Moyu away, but he still gave him some accommodation, changing the entry fee and reset fee of the Tyrant Desert dungeon to 100 points and 200 points respectively. It now only cost 300 points to raid the dungeon once.

Lin Moyu came this time solely to search for Desert Fruit, not for dungeon grinding. So he didn’t plan to kill monsters en masse. He only used 10 Skeletal Warriors to clear the way ahead. Furthermore, he kept a certain distance from the oasis, not getting too close.

He was clad in a hell outpost set, which was much better than the silver rank spirit set.

[Hell Outpost Magical Sword (a part of the outpost set): gold rank weapon, all attributes +500, increases the power of Mage-type skills by 50%, usable after level 30]

[Hell Outpost Magical Robe (a part of the outpost set): gold rank protective equipment, all attributes +300, reduces the consumption of Mage-type skills by 20%, usable after level 30]

[Hell Outpost Ring (a part of the outpost set): gold rank accessory, all attributes +100, increases the recovery of fatigue by 30%, usable after level 30]

[Hell Outpost Bracelet (a part of the outpost set): gold rank accessory, all attributes +200, increases the restoration of spirit force by 30%, usable after level 30]

[Hell Outpost Necklace (a part of the outpost set): gold rank accessory, all attributes +400, reduces the probability of being restrained by 20%, usable after level 30]

[Set effect: all attributes +1,000, reduces the consumption of Mage-type skills by 25%, increases the power of Mage-type skills by 25%]

The set consisted of five pieces of equipment, which together increased all attributes by 1,500 points, plus an additional 1,000 points from the set effect, for a total of 2,500 points.

In addition, the Dragonkind Slayer title increased all attributes by 500 points. Lin Moyu received a total boost of 3,000 points to all attributes.

Unfortunately, the equipment’s amplifications of Mage-type skills didn’t apply to Lin Moyu. Only the title’s 50% reduction in skill consumption was effective.

Even so, Lin Moyu’s stamina, endurance, and running speed were raised significantly. The distance that previously took over an hour to run now only took less than 40 minutes.

Seeing that there were no Desert Fruits on the cacti, Lin Moyu exited the dungeon decisively. He reset the dungeon and entered again. Second time... Third time...

Lin Moyu entered the dungeon repeatedly, searching for Desert Fruit.

His repetitive actions drew a lot of attention. Some people didn’t get it, but the smart ones quickly figured it out.

”Boss Lin is looking for Desert Fruit.”

”Using Desert Fruit to grind skills is indeed effective, but this repeated entry and resetting of the dungeon, how many points will it cost?”

”2,500 points per raid. That means 10 raids cost 25,000 points, 100 times cost 250,000 points. Perhaps only Boss Lin has such deep pockets.”

”I wouldn’t dare to spend that much. It’s hard to earn points. I’d rather grind my skills slowly.”

”That’s the difference between you and a big shot.”

They didn’t know that Ning Tairan gave Lin Moyu some accommodation. Lin Moyu only needed to pay 300 points per raid. But even if it were 2,500 points, Lin Moyu would still choose to do so.

After all, grinding skills little by little was too slow. In particular, after experiencing the convenience brought by Desert Fruit. It wasn’t even worth consideration.

Even the Military Skill Grinding Site paled in comparison to Desert Fruit.

Time and again, Lin Moyu went into the dungeon, only to be disappointed. He once again tasted the bitterness of ”rare and elusive.”

Last time, when he carried Xia Xue and the other two through the dungeon, as if in a stroke of luck, he came across the fruit right away. Now, his luck appeared to have run out. He couldn’t seem to come across the fruit no matter what.

Lin Moyu didn’t give up. On the thirteenth try, he saw Desert Fruit once again.

That was thirteen raids, each taking more than 40 minutes, totaling more than eight hours. He had practically no rest in between, working non-stop.

Even with his greatly increased attributes, he was still tired. But fortunately, Desert Fruit appeared at last.

Lin Moyu had the Skeletal Warriors clear out the young ants around the Desert Fruits, and then began to do skill grinding.

Among the three new active skills he recently awakened, Summon Lich General was the most difficult to grind, so he put it on the back burner for the time being.

He started with the simpler one: Bone Fangs.

Bone Fangs shot out from Lin Moyu’s fingertips. Pale light diffused from his fingertips, forming a total of 40 Bone Fangs that whistled toward the mountain where the ant colony was located.

When the Bone Fangs landed on the mountain, they caused a series of rumbling sounds, and rocks shattered and rolled down.

With the talent’s 40-fold amplification, despite being only level 1, Bone Fangs possessed considerable power.

Lin Moyu cast Bone Fangs ten times all at once.

A large crater was smashed into the mountain, and the rocks that tumbled down formed a mound on the ground.

Then Lin Moyu targeted the mound, which exploded into fragments.

At level 1, Bone Fangs consumed very little spirit force, only 10 points. Thanks to the title’s effect, which reduced consumption by half, the skill only cost 5 points of spirit force to be cast.

With Lin Moyu’s current 7,000 points of spirit force, he could cast the skill more than 1,000 times each time.

Every time his spirit force was half depleted, Lin Moyu would eat a Desert Fruit. Thus, the booming sounds rose without stop.

Bone Fangs quickly rose to level 2. At level 2, the number of Bone Fangs doubled from 40 to 80, and their power increased.

Lin Moyu stopped targeting the mountain. By this time, the massive amount of falling rocks had blocked the ant colony’s entrance. If he continued, the mountain could collapse.

Subsequently, dazzling white Bone Fangs shot into the sky, where they exploded into a myriad of sparks.

At a glance, the white light of the pale Bone Fangs and holy white light looked similar. But their properties were entirely opposite. The white light of the pale Bone Fangs emitted no warmth, only extreme coldness.

Lin Moyu ate Desert Fruits one after another, rapidly raising the level of his skill. The skill’s consumption increased meanwhile.

By the time it reached level 10, the skill’s consumption reached 50 points of spirit force. Even with the 50% reduction, it still cost 25 points of spirit force.

The rate at which Lin Moyu ingested Desert Fruits promptly increased.

Outside the dungeon, seeing that Lin Moyu hadn’t come out for a long time, people guessed that he must have found Desert Fruit.

”Effort pays off. I kept track, it took Boss Lin thirteen tries before finally encountering Desert Fruit.”

”That’s more than 30,000 points for a batch of Desert Fruits. I wonder if it was worth it.”

”For Boss Lin, it was definitely worth it. I wonder what new skills he has awakened. He must be more powerful than before.”

”I think so too.”

The news of Lin Moyu using Desert Fruit to grind skills quickly disseminated.

At the Baili Institute, Baili Sheng seethed with hatred. He gritted his teeth, cursing Lin Moyu, ”Some classes get weaker as they progress. I hope yours is one of them. One day, I’ll make you pay!”

At this time, the person who hated Lin Moyu the most in the academy was Baili Sheng.

Lin Moyu not only snatched away Ning Yiyi, but also made him lose face. Having grown up pampered, he couldn’t stomach the humiliation.

Other people received the news as well.

Shu Han sat face-to-face with a middle-aged man, a Fire Crystal the size of an egg—emitting beautiful light, more dazzling than a ruby—placed on the table between them.

Shu Han smiled, ”Brother, this is the elemental fragment of legend. Actually, since it came from the Fire God’s Palace Hall, it should be called fire fragment.”

”Only by gathering three fire fragments, only then can you obtain a Fire Crystal.”

The middle-aged man picked up the Fire Crystal and examined it carefully, ”Legends are often inaccurate. However, the Fire Crystal is indeed a good thing, and it can be used to create an Elemental Divine Stone.”

”Unfortunately, Elemental Crystals are hard to come by. It isn’t something that can be purchased with money.”

”Han, where did you get it?”

Shu Han smiled gently, ”A friend gave it to me. Don’t worry about it. If I get the chance, I’ll figure out a way to get the other Elemental Crystals too.”

She extended her hand, ”Brother, give me some Fatigue Potion.”

The middle-aged man smiled, ”Fine, fine, I won’t ask. What do you need Fatigue Potion for?”

”I have a use for it. Will you give it to me or not?!” Shu Han acted cute.

”Alright, alright. There’s no way I could refuse you.” The middle-aged man’s eyes showed a shade of doting affection, clearly very fond of Shu Han.

...

In the dungeon, the Desert Fruits were nearly gone.

Lin Moyu’s fingertips flashed with white light.

Skill: Bone Fangs.

White light exploded in front of him, and 1,200 Bone Fangs shot into the sky with a snap and burst into specks of light.

When the Desert Fruits were nearly all gone, Bone Fangs finally leveled up and reached level 30. From this point on, its level would rise along with Lin Moyu’s level.

At level 30, Bone Fangs fired 1,200 fangs each time, and the fangs were much more powerful than at level 1.

Lin Moyu felt that this skill was more powerful than Skeletal Mages of the same level. It was also an active group skill, filling another gap in his repertoire.

With the single-target active skill Soul Blaze and the group skill Bone Fangs, he felt confident even without the skeletons.

Looking at the remaining two or three Desert Fruits, Lin Moyu’s palm flashed red. The sky turned a dark red in an instant.

Skill: Damage Curse!

The Damage Curse’s light was a deep red, like coagulated blood. It was a shade of red that could make others feel uneasy

Lin Moyu began to grind his second skill.
