Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Elder Huang's face flushed with excitement, a bottle of wine appearing in his hand from nowhere, as he laughed heartily while guzzling down the alcohol.

Old Liu, who followed closely by Elder Huang's side, revealed a somewhat stiff smile on his usually stern face after seeing Zi Liyuan's figure.

Several old men and women from Dragon Academy were now staring with wide eyes, disbelief etched on their faces as they looked at Zi Liyuan, particularly overwhelmed by the aura he radiated, as if they had seen a ghost.

And a throng of beautiful women, their expressions stirred with excitement, with tears glistening amidst the joy in their eyes.

There was no helping it, this Fourth Order promotion task was akin to a life-and-death struggle, a slip could mean Zi Liyuan might never return.

How could they not worry?

"I'm back."

Zi Liyuan smiled slightly and opened his arms as he walked into the crowd.

Elder Huang was about to spread his arms to embrace the young lad, Zi, but to his surprise, the kid briskly sidestepped him and went straight for a group of beauties, enveloping them in a hug.

What's more, he didn't stop at just hugging; he kissed them one by one.

(＃￣～￣＃), for a moment, Elder Huang was utterly lost for words.

"Well done, well done, I didn't expect you, little Zi, to actually complete the Fourth Order Lord Level promotion, remarkable!"

The Dean of Dragon Academy, oblivious to the atmosphere, forcibly pulled Zi Liyuan out from the midst of the beauties.

"Little Zi, could you share the recording of your successful challenge with Dragon Academy?"

In the five thousand years of the Great Xia Empire, since the game invaded reality, only a meager three necromancers have ever completed the Fourth Order Lord Level promotion task.

However, the records of these three indicated that they used the blood of Fourth Order Level 80 Lord Bosses before entering the mission instance.

The final Epic Boss they faced was only a Level 81 Epic Necromancer.

Therefore, the record of Zi Liyuan's challenge was extremely important, and it might even point out a clear path for future death class players to complete the Fourth Order Lord Level promotion.

Knowing it was wrong to ask, the Dean still cheekily inquired for the sake of Dragon Academy and its future students.

"Dean, I cannot comply—my method of clearing the instance isn't replicable," Zi Liyuan replied.

Zi Liyuan didn't think any undead class player could assemble the massive Undead Lord Boss Legion like he did.

After all, to strengthen the Undead Lord Boss Legion, he had wasted thousands of the incredibly precious [Heart of the Lord].

How could anyone afford such extravagance?

If word got out about his actions, wouldn't all of humanity wish to tear him to pieces and grind his bones to dust?

So, he would never dare to leak the recording.

Moreover, he couldn't explain the origin of the Spectral Dragon Lord Boss Legion and the Dread Knight King Lord Boss Legion.

During that monumental promotion battle, he had played all his cards; if he gave that recording to the Dean, his deepest secrets would be laid bare for all to see.

If this leaked, someone could prepare a meticulously planned hunt targeting him, with alarmingly high chances of success.

"I can offer you a Sea of Realms resource in exchange—a resource that can elevate a territory to the level of a county city within the Sea of Realms," proposed the Dean.

New entrants to the Sea of Realms all start from scratch when developing their territory.

Reaching the size of a county city requires endless time and a massive expenditure of resources.

"Dean, my method of clearing the instance is unique and cannot be replicated by others," Zi Liyuan responded, cutting straight to the chase by flashing information about the Magic Crystal Cannon for all present to see.

"Dean, the Magic Crystal Cannons I used numbered no less than ten— you know how difficult these are to procure.

Yet those cannons weren't even the main force behind defeating the Boss; they merely played a supportive role," he added.

The truth? How could he possibly reveal the truth!

Magic Crystal Cannons–these massive weapons, the people of Blue Star Humans don't have a single one!

They are the bespoke weapons of Dwarves, Gnomes, Goblins, and the Mechanical Race, heavily regulated and rarely leaked to the public.

The Blue Star Humans might have some damaged Magic Crystal Cannons, but no one can repair them. With their blend of high-tech and arcane elements, the technology within them is incredibly complex.

In Zi Liyuan's team, apart from Undead Dwarves who could craft them, only the Lightspeed Shuttling Spaceship could replicate their manufacture, given the necessary equipment.

As for Shen Yurou, although she had seen all the technological blueprints through the Lightspeed Shuttling Spaceship, she was also unable to manufacture them at the moment.

Lacking the manufacturing equipment, and the inability to learn the Fourth Order Magic Crystal Cannon blueprints for the time being.

Shen Yurou and the Lightspeed Shuttling Spaceship had simplified the design of the Magic Crystal Cannon and integrated it into firearms. They had begun to attempt making a Second Order cannon but hadn't succeeded yet.

Understanding Zi Liyuan's concerns, the Dean could only drop the matter, however regretfully.

"Dean, according to the rules of Dragon Academy, anyone who completes a Fourth Order hero-level promotion task and reaches the peak of Fourth Order Level 100 earns the right to challenge the top student of three grades.

I would like to inform the entire school that in one month, I will challenge the top students of the second, third, and fourth years; can you arrange it?" inquired Zi Liyuan.

To smoothly complete the promotion task, he had squandered all his Contribution Value in one go.

Now, he needed to make up for it, didn't he?

Better to make one grand move than to challenge each of the grade leaders individually for duels.

"Do you think you can fully control your newly gained power in just one month? Would you consider waiting a little longer, say, three months, before taking on the challenges?" the Dean asked.

The Dean didn't doubt Zi Liyuan's strength but felt his mindset might be a bit overconfident.

Having just completed his advancement, of course one would need a significant amount of time to adapt to the differences of the Fourth Order and solidify his strength.
