Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

After eight hours of continuous running, there followed 3-plus hours of skill grinding. Lin Moyu went an entire 12 hours without taking a single break.

When he exited the dungeon, a bright and beautiful face appeared in his line of sight.

Shu Han stood in front of Lin Moyu, a beaming smile on her face, ”You’re finally out. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

”Senior Shu Han, is something the matter?” Lin Moyu asked softly.

Shu Han smiled, ”Why? Can’t I come to you for no reason?”

Lin Moyu didn’t expect the usually elegant Shu Han to say such a thing out of the blue. He remained silent, simply watching her.

Shu Han spread her hands. ”Just kidding. Here you go.”

Shu Han handed him the Fatigue Potion, a total of ten bottles.

Lin Moyu needed the Fatigue Potion and so accepted the bottles without hesitation. He wanted to give Shu Han some points in return, but then she shook her head.

Shu Han uttered, ”No points needed. It’s a gift.”

”But the potion is expensive.” Lin Moyu knew how precious the Fatigue Potion was.

Shu Han showed a hint of displeasure. ”Tell me, are we friends or not?”

Lin Moyu nodded almost right away, ”Of course we are friends.”

”Then it’s settled. Take the bottles. When you run out, let me know. I’ll find a way to get you more.”

”But don’t rely on it too much. It’s not good for your body.”

”Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. Go ahead and look for Desert Fruit.”

When she finished speaking, Shu Han turned and walked away.

Lin Moyu accepted the potion and murmured, ”I’ve gained a friend.”

Previously, he had five bottles of Fatigue Potion left, and now he gained ten more.

After drinking one bottle initially, Lin Moyu hadn’t had another since. This thing was hard to come by, and he saved it whenever possible. But now...

Lin Moyu tilted his head back and drank a bottle. He felt as if he were immersed in warm spring water, his fatigue dissipating quickly.

The effect of Fatigue Potion was quite miraculous. One bottle could keep him going for two days and nights without feeling tired.

Lin Moyu entered the dungeon again and started running, resuming his repetitive and tedious dungeon adventure.

After raiding the dungeon five times in a row, luck was on his side, and Lin Moyu encountered Desert Fruit again.

The dungeon was filled with red light, the dark red glow nearly changing the color of the entire desert. The unique droning of the curse skill rose incessantly.

The curse skill had a higher requirement for spirit force than the Bone Fangs skill, resulting in an increased expenditure of Desert Fruit.

By the time the Desert Fruits were all used up, Damage Curse reached level 26. Lin Moyu proceeded to raid the dungeon once again.

”Based on the current estimate, in order to max out the Summon Lich General skill, I will need to find Desert Fruit at least ten times.”

”Assuming ten dungeon runs yield one batch of the fruit, I will have to raid the dungeon at least 100 times. And each dungeon run takes 40 minutes.” Lin Moyu sighed deeply.

For the past few days, he just stayed in the Dungeon Hall, not going anywhere.

But there was no other way around it. If he didn’t grind his skills now, it would be even harder later.

”For a better tomorrow, let’s give it my all today!”

Luck remained on his side. After the sixth entry into the dungeon, he encountered Desert Fruit again, quickly raising the level of Damage Curse to level 30.

[Damage Curse (level 30): curses enemies within a range of 25 meters and increases the damage they receive by 25%; lasts for 1 minute.]

The increase of the Damage Curse skill wasn’t as pronounced as that of Slow Curse, and the same was true for the range. Each subsequent level only raised the range by 0.5 meters and the damage increase by 0.5%.

With the Comprehensive Amplification talent, the curse’s range reached 1,000 meters, and damage was raised to 1,000%. This was more than enough.

”Finally, it’s time for the most difficult part.”

Lin Moyu took a deep breath and cast Summon Lich General.

Summoning one Lich General cost 4,000 points of spirit force. Including his equipment, Lin Moyu had a total of 7,000 points of spirit force at his disposal. He was basically forced to ingest a Desert Fruit each time a Lich General was summoned.

Lin Moyu stuffed Desert Fruits into his mouth continuously. Nevertheless, the rate at which his spirit force was restored couldn’t keep up with the rate at which it was consumed.

Even though Desert Fruit tasted good, eating too much of it would still make him feel sick of it.

”Without Desert Fruit, this skill would drive many people mad.” Lin Moyu thought to himself.

In addition to maxing out the skill, he also needed to fill the ranks of the undead legions. The entire process was extremely demanding.

...

In the God Bai Courtyard, Bai Yiyuan watched as Lin Moyu entered and exited the dungeon repeatedly. Seven days had passed, and Lin Moyu hadn’t taken a break once.

When he felt too tired, he would drink a bottle of Fatigue Potion. He had already consumed four bottles of Fatigue Potion.

Bai Yiyuan continued to observe Lin Moyu. The more he watched, the more satisfied he was, ”Such perseverance, truly remarkable!”

Meng Anwen echoed the sentiment, ”Perseverance is sometimes more important than talent. Young Lin has both talent and perseverance, and that’s a rare combination.”

Ning Tairan snorted, ”You got lucky, that’s all. You found yourself a gem.”

Bai Yiyuan was very pleased and, for once, didn’t refute. Instead, he personally poured Ning Tairan a cup of tea, ”Your granddaughter is also pretty good. She has a keen eye.”

Ning Tairan snorted lightly, then took the tea and said nothing more. There was no need for words.

Meng Anwen said, ”Young Lin’s sister is also very hardworking, with formidable talent.”

Ning Tairan uttered, ”Anyone the old man takes a liking to can’t be too bad. Two geniuses in one family, that’s really something else.”

”Perhaps, both siblings have the chance to become godly class users.” Bai Yiyuan smiled meaningfully.

Godly powerhouses...

The difficulty of grinding Summon Lich General far exceeded Lin Moyu’s expectations. As the skill’s level rose, the spirit force requirement rose accordingly.

Lin Moyu’s initial estimates were repeatedly overturned. Ten batches of Desert Fruit were far from enough.

Lin Moyu’s determination intensified, showing no intention of turning back before reaching his goal.

He had gone eight days without rest, relying entirely on Fatigue Potion. During those eight days, he encountered Desert Fruit twenty times.

When the Summon Lich General skill reached level 29, each summon required 6,800 points of spirit force. And that was with the Dragonkind Slayer title’s 50% reduction in skill consumption taken into account. Without the title’s help, it would require 13,600 points of spirit force to summon a Lich General.

Regarding this requirement, Lin Moyu could only meet it after reaching level 40, after completing the second class awakening and becoming a high-level class user.

Without the Dragonkind Slayer title, level 1 Summon Lich General alone would require 8,000 points of spirit force. Under that circumstance, even with the full hell outpost set, it still wouldn’t be enough to summon a Lich General.

Lin Moyu would have to reach level 32 to be qualified to summon a level 1 Lich General. By that time, he would have completely lost the opportunity to enter the Tyrant Desert to look for Desert Fruit.

Therefore, Li Moyu would say that this basically wasn’t a skill that a person could grind.

As he was running, Lin Moyu felt that something was off. Why would a class skill have such high requirements? This was unreasonable.

It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, restricting him. He had felt this way when he awakened the Summon Skeletal Mage skill before. Now this feeling was even more pronounced.

Fortunately, he had the hell outpost set, as well as the Dragonkind Slayer title.

Under these almost impossible conditions, by relying on the miraculous Desert Fruit, he forcibly ground the Summon Lich General skill to level 30.

When he saw the skill upgrade notification, he lay down in the desert in a ”大” shape, and then fell into a deep sleep the next second.

”Strange, why hasn’t Boss Lin come out yet?”

”Yeah, did something happen to Boss Lin?”

”To Boss Lin? Are you joking?”

”He was probably just tired and fell asleep in the dungeon.”

In the past ten days, Lin Moyu had entered the dungeon at least 200 times. People had witnessed this with their own eyes, and they were in complete awe.

At least 200 dungeon runs, without a break. It was beyond shocking. No one could imagine the level of perseverance it required. Lin Moyu, however, quietly saw it through to the end.

Seeing Lin Moyu fall asleep on the ground, Bai Yiyuan’s eyes suffused with concern.

Meng Anwen said softly, ”Don’t worry, he’s just tired and has fallen asleep.”

Ning Tairan said solemnly, ”The kid is stronger than you.”

Bai Yiyuan retorted, ”He’s also stronger than you.”

Neither of the two was willing to concede.

At this moment, Meng Anwen’s eyes showed a shade of admiration.

Lin Moyu’s performance was truly outstanding. He remained calm when necessary, kept a low profile when needed. When it was time to shine, he could shock the world without saying a word.

Meng Anwen saw that Lin Moyu’s display could no longer be described by astonishing perseverance, but by dogged obsession. Coupled with his class, Lin Moyu had the prerequisites to become a godly powerhouse.

Lin Moyu slept deeply. The unchanging temperature and the soft sand in the dungeon made his sleep very comfortable.

By the time he woke up, the fatigue was gone. The effect of the Fatigue Potion had also worn off completely.

When he checked his communicator, Lin Moyu nearly jumped up in shock. He had slept 47 hours straight, nearly two whole days and nights.

”Am I a pig? How could I have slept this much? No, even pigs don’t sleep this much.”

During the sleep, Lin Moyu’s spirit force was fully restored.

The remaining dozen-plus Desert Fruits shouldn’t be wasted.

Moreover, there was still one task Lin Moyu needed to complete. Now that he was done grinding his skills, only the last step remained, that is, he had to establish his undead legions.

While he was level 30, he could still get Desert Fruit, a miraculous ingredient for quickly restoring spirit force. He had to seize this opportunity to form his undead legions.

Skill: Summon Lich General!

7,000 points of spirit force were consumed just like that. At level 30, the skill consumed 7,000 points of spirit force per use.

With 7,000 spirit force consumed instantly, Lin Moyu was ready and promptly put a Desert Fruit into his mouth. The fruit burst, and its juice, which he was already sick off, turned into a warm current that surged to the top of his head.

Under this soothing sensation, his spirit force was quickly restored.

Lin Moyu checked the properties of the level 30 Lich General.
