Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: She’s Not a Combatant, But a Lifestyle Occupation Mechanic Who Screws Bolts!

“Tsk~ Worthy of being the shame of fourth-order creatures, this Bone Dragon doesn’t have any presence.”

After muttering under his breath, Zi Liyuan shook his head, and after almost thumbing through the hundreds of artifacts once more, his eyes resettled firmly on the [Mechanical Race Intelligent Dog (Gold)].

Among the hundreds of gold Lord Grade artifacts, only this mechanical dog’s value was the highest. To put it bluntly, the combined value of the other hundred-plus gold artifacts couldn’t match up to this toy dog!

In others’ eyes, this was just a healing toy dog, but through Zi Liyuan’s gaze, it was the gateway artifact to a future army of Mechanical Armors, capable of spawning countless Black Tech creations!

And with this item, Shen Yurou could develop a series of Human Race-exclusive Mechanical Armors and energy systems amongst other Black Tech, hence creating an army of Mechanics to dominate Blue Star!

Envisioning a sky filled with Mechas and the Great Xia Empire unifying the globe, Zi Liyuan took a deep breath and decided it would be you—the Mechanical Dog!

“Teacher, I choose this item!”

Handing back the jade token, Zi Liyuan pointed solemnly at the [Mechanical Race Intelligent Dog (Gold)], the gold Lord Grade artifact.

“Eh, you actually chose a toy dog, not even wanting the Red Dragon Skeleton that could create a high-end combat Bone Dragon.”

The Mediterranean teacher looked at Zi Liyuan with surprise and kindly reminded him, but upon seeing his determined expression, said no more, nodded, and quickly registered his information, approving and binding the item.

Thinking of the overly powerful Mutated Puppet projected from the Ancient Tower of Mystical Realm, he reconciled with the choice.

The exceptional often have unconventional ideas, probably seeing no interest in a rare BOSS template like the Bone Dragon, especially since it might not last more than a few slaps in the hands of that Puppet.

“Teacher, is there an item that specifically grants a hero BOSS template?”

Back then, giving Lao Tie a hero BOSS template only used a [Puppet Spirit Core (Silver)], a mere silver hero artifact.

But now, gold Lord Grade artifacts could only produce a Bone Dragon with a rare BOSS template—that’s a scam, isn’t it?

“Of course there is. However, in Dragon Academy, resources require Contribution Value to exchange. Once you’re enrolled, you’ll understand when you have a look at the Treasury Building.”

“What’s Contribution Value? How can it be obtained?”

Recalling that he was awarded a total of 111,510 Contribution Value points for breaking the record, he felt it necessary to visit the Treasury Building as soon as possible.

“Within Dragon Academy, Contribution Value is the currency. Virtually any resource within the academy requires Contribution Value to use.

For example, eating, entering dungeons, or exchanging items in the Treasury Building, all use Contribution Value.

You can even use Contribution Value to exchange for Dragon Coins, 1 Contribution Value point for 10,000 Dragon Coins.

However, Dragon Coins cannot be exchanged for Contribution Value, unless there is mutual exchange between students, but those cases are very rare.”

As for how to obtain it, it’s nothing more than accepting various tasks from the mission building, selling materials and artifacts to the Treasury Building, climbing the rankings in duels, or participating in special events published by the academy—there are quite a few ways to earn it.”

Watching Shen Yurou in the projection still perilously kiting the BOSS, struggling to reduce the health of the frost giant, the Mediterranean teacher also felt a sense of boredom, and took the opportunity to casually chat with Zi Liyuan.

Seizing the moment, a certain someone immediately followed up on the offer, gathering tidbits about Dragon Academy through the casual conversation.

It couldn’t be helped; the Nine Great Divine States Academy was too mysterious. Much of the information spread in the outside world was mixed with truth and falsehood, and moreover, it was not detailed. Now that he had the opportunity to ask a teacher from the academy, the information he got was naturally true.

For instance, the first thing Zi Liyuan learned about was the various dungeons controlled by the Dragon Academy.

He was ready to level up quickly, aiming to grow into a peak powerhouse at Fourth Order Level 100.

The dungeons managed by the Dragon Academy, ranging from low to high level, numbered in the hundreds of thousands. To enter a dungeon, one needed to exchange Contribution Value for dungeon scrolls.

Second Order dungeon scroll, 1 Contribution Value point;

Third Order dungeon scroll, 10 Contribution Value points;

Fourth Order dungeon scroll, 100 Contribution Value points.

There were no First Order dungeon scrolls because all the First Order dungeons had their barriers shattered, and their essence was merged into the dimensional space of the Dragon Academy!

That is to say, not only is the Dragon Academy’s dimensional space incredibly vast, it also teems with countless monsters!

This is also why the spiritual energy in the Dragon Academy has liquefied into mist – because it has merged with the essence of who knows how many dungeons, turning this dimensional space into a Fortunate Heaven and Earth!

Outside, a single First Order dungeon could create a small family clan, yet in the Dragon Academy, First Order dungeons merely serve as nourishment for Fortunate Heaven and Earth.

It’s so absurd, as if absurdity’s mother opened the door to more absurdity — peak absurdity!

After asking about many of the Dragon Academy’s basic situations and trying to delve into deeper matters, the teacher would intentionally shift the topic, finding another subject to discuss.

Clearly, to grasp the deeper aspects of the Dragon Academy, these newcomers must experience it for themselves, with something as peculiar as the enrollment process revealing no clear information upon inquiry.

It was amidst this casual conversation that the projected image of the Ancient Tower of Mystical Realm showed Shen Yurou had successfully whittled down three frost behemoths and entered the 44th floor of the Secret Realm.

Zi Liyuan looked at her with a sense of gratification shining in his eyes; she was indeed too clever.

Even though she was pitifully chased by the three frost behemoths, she still gritted her teeth and persisted till the end, especially after killing two of the frost behemoths when she intentionally slowed down the pace, allowing herself time to rest.

The only concern was that the consumption of ammunition was extremely heavy; it was uncertain if she could bring out a mini-manufacturing device in the dungeon of the Secret Realm to replenish her ammunition.

“This is it; reaching the 44th floor as a combat occupation is quite an achievement,” the Mediterranean teacher nodded in approval. Anyone who could surpass the 40th floor was an absolute genius amongst combat occupation students. After further study at the Dragon Academy, stepping into the Sea of Realms and becoming a stable ordinary Lord in the future would be no problem.

“Teacher, Shen Yurou isn’t a combat occupation student, she is a lifestyle occupation — a Mechanic,” said someone who, while glancing at a certain patch of oasis above the teacher’s head and suppressing a smile, mischievously interjected.

“What?! Not a combat occupation student, but a lifestyle occupation Mechanic?!”

The Mediterranean teacher hurriedly checked Shen Yurou’s guidance jade card, and upon seeing the information, especially the indication of Lifestyle Occupation Mechanic in the occupation column, he was floored.

Damn it! Is this the year of the freaks?

The national college entrance examination top scorer breaking the Secret Realm Tower record was crazy enough.

And now you’re telling me that the little girl ranked 32nd nationwide isn’t a combat occupation student but rather a Mechanic, the very occupation that factories love for mundane tasks like screw tightening? Can we please not mess with people’s minds like this?!
