Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 141: Madly Swipe 720 Million!

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Madly Swipe 720 Million!

The only tricky part about this dungeon instance, which was a massive giveaway of experience benefits, was the big BOSS that spawned every 5 minutes.

The Third Order LV60 Lord Boss had a health pool fluctuating between 8 million and 12 million, and the number of spawns also vacillated between one and four.

Spawning three at once wasn’t a big deal; Lao Tie just had to sprint around quickly, find the nearest route, and make sure to hold the aggro of two Lord Bosses to prevent them from entering the village.

As for the last Lord Boss, Zi Liyuan himself would take care of it by kiting it around, and that was that.

But if four Lord Bosses appeared at once, the difficulty would increase exponentially, and Zi Liyuan would have to consider how to prevent them from entering the village because if the Bosses managed to shatter the energy crystal with a casual strike, the dungeon run would end prematurely.

Hence, the only option was to rely on the Skeleton Army raised by the Necromancers to encircle and block, slowing down the Bosses’ advance.

It was really just a matter of delaying time slightly because when facing the Lord Bosses, Skeleton Warriors were nothing but brittle ribs, crumbling to ash with a single touch—essentially just fodder for roadblocks.

Fortunately, with 512 Necromancers, a cannon fodder army of 5120 Skeleton Warriors could be raised.

With so many chickens to deal with all at once, it wouldn’t be that easy, right? And we’re talking about a Skeleton Army here.

Luckily, the expendable Skeleton Warrior squad only needed to slow down the Lord Bosses for a bit until Zi Liyuan had stabilized the aggro of another Boss, then immediately loop around from outside the village and initiate an attack to pull them away.

Once they joined up with the other two Lord Bosses that Lao Tie was holding off, it was time for the Corpse Explosion Technique to blast them to the heavens!

From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., this farm fest lasted 12 hours, and the average experience gain was over 1 million per minute. Moreover, countless materials, equipment, items, and dungeon rewards were harvested!

When Zi Liyuan emerged from the dungeon, his eyes were gleaming with layers of golden light.

That grind was just too damn exhilarating!

[Player]: Zi Liyuan LV47 (721.48 million/900 million x2)

720 million experience points, and that’s just from 12 hours of farming. If he could keep it up indefinitely, wouldn’t leveling up be even simpler than eating and drinking?

“It’s a pity, this damn dungeon actually auto-kicks players. You can only farm for a maximum of 12 hours before getting kicked out.”

If it weren’t for the dungeon’s forced ejection, Zi Liyuan would surely still be joyfully farming away, determined not to stop until he completely broke the instance.

…

Not long after Zi Liyuan left, an anomaly signal appeared in the monitoring room of the dungeon’s headquarters.

The maintenance personnel didn’t think much of it, since the more a dungeon was used, the more its source power would deplete, necessitating maintenance from time to time and sometimes special items to restore the dungeon’s source power, or else the dungeon could degrade or even collapse.

The dungeon that signaled an anomaly this time was the top-tier Third Order dungeon “Guard The Energy Crystal.”

But when maintenance personnel went to inspect it, they were stunned.

Wearing special dungeon observation glasses, they could clearly see that the source power of the dungeon had become incredibly weak and unstable, teetering on the brink of collapse.

“What’s going on here? Why is the dungeon showing signs of source power depletion?”

Dungeon Headquarters, being under official management, conducted routine checks for any anomalies in all dungeons on a daily basis.

Everything was fine yesterday, but today this dungeon was nearly doomed—is it possible that someone deliberately sabotaged it?

Therefore, the maintenance worker reported the situation immediately and took out a pure golden stone, throwing it into the transfer portal of the “Guard The Energy Crystal” dungeon.

Instantly, the already distorting portal, on the verge of collapsing, froze in a stutter and then solidified as if paused.

“What’s the matter, Old Qi? The dungeon was fine yesterday, how did it suddenly become on the verge of collapse?”

“The source power of the dungeon has been overdrawn. If we don’t replenish it in time, the dungeon could be downgraded by an entire order.”

The administrators of the Copyworld, along with several maintenance staff, rushed over and immediately began to ask questions.

“Everything was fine during yesterday’s inspection, so something must have happened today. Xiao Liu, retrieve today’s surveillance footage and check the information of everyone who entered this room!”

The downgrade of a Third Order copy was not a small loss; if things went poorly, they might even be criticized by the leadership for incompetence, making any further career progression difficult.

So Wang Fu initiated an investigation right away.

As he investigated, Wang Fu, with a pained expression, took out a cracked Lord’s Heart from his backpack space and chucked it into the copy’s teleportation portal.

The Lord’s Heart was a condensed essence of the copy’s origin, and to replenish the source of the copy, it naturally needed to be charged with a Lord’s Heart.

The Lord’s Heart Wang Fu held, though flawed, was still a treasure that could accelerate the speed of his Cultivation Technique.

But when considering the future against the enhancement of his training, the future was obviously more important to him. After all, without this Lord’s Heart, his training speed would only be a few times slower.

“Steward Wang, a total of four hundred and one professionals entered the ‘Guard The Energy Crystal’ copy today. The anomaly might have been caused by this extra person.”

Xiao Liu came running with the results in less than ten minutes and handed the information over to the leader.

“Zi Liyuan, Second Order LV47, Necromancer, entered the copy at nine ten in the morning and didn’t leave until nine ten in the evening?”

Wang Fu looked at the information, confused.

A professional of just LV47 taking on a Third Order LV60 copy—was he that brave?

Especially after seeing that this individual had stayed in the copy for a full 12 hours, he became even more unsettled.

He had just specifically reviewed this copy; it was a tower defense-type guardianship copy, where monsters and bosses would continuously spawn, especially since this guy had chosen the difficulty of a Lord.

The BOSS could even be a LV60 Lord!

Was that something a Second Order LV47 professional could handle?

“Xiao Liu, use my authority to retrieve Zi Liyuan’s copy records!”

Something was fishy! This kid definitely had a trick up his sleeve; the depletion of the copy’s origin was surely his doing!

Daring to play tricks in the Copyworld was no joke!

They needed to investigate thoroughly!

“Yes, Steward Wang!”

Xiao Liu came in a flurry and left in a flurry as well.

…

At this moment, Zi Liyuan, who had no idea he was in trouble after his intense copy grinding, was comfortably grilling skewers at a street stand.

Right now, he was enjoying his skewers and beginning to tap on the upgrade button.

LV47?LV48, needing 9 million experience points. Tied with Lao Tie, it needed 18 million, upgraded!

LV48?LV49, needing 20 million experience, keep upgrading!

LV49?LV50, needing 22 million experience, upgrade!

This guy wasn’t short on such a small amount of experience, upgrade! Upgrade! Upgrade!
