"Check your condition and see if there is any obvious improvement. Don't worry, I definitely won't lie to you. Everything is for your own good.”Mason spoke at the right time. He had to change my bad impression of him.
I checked my stats. There were basically no changes to my Strength. My Health Points and Stamina Points had increased slightly, turning into a medium red color. My Agility had increased slightly, turning into a deep red color. I was only one step away from orange. What surprised me the most was my mental strength. Although I had guessed that it would increase by a large margin, I didn't expect it to increase by so much in such a short time. It actually turned from medium orange to medium yellow, a whole level higher. After all, I had signed so many soul contracts, but my mental strength had only changed from light orange to medium orange. Now that it had reached medium yellow, it meant that I could sign more soul contracts and summon more undead to fight. His strength had finally increased substantially!
Mason nodded in satisfaction when he saw how happy I was." The world is balanced. Whether it's sweat or money, the more you put in, the more you'll gain if you succeed. Your 'Trial of Courage' quest is much harder than the previous two, and your rewards are also much higher than theirs. Our quest is to give you the corresponding test according to your aptitude. Everything we do is to allow you to develop better and increase your strength as much as possible. After all, each and every one of you is the fresh blood of the necromancer lineage, and you have entrusted your dreams to us that we have yet to realize. The enemy you are facing is so powerful that cowards who lack courage will not be able to shoulder this heavy burden.”
The Grand Magus Undead Saint's words revealed a hint of helplessness and hope that came from experiencing the vicissitudes of life. The resentment that had been lingering in my heart all this while had unknowingly dissipated. We were about to face endless dangers and hardships. Our future encounters might be a hundred times crueler than this trial of courage. Everything was my own choice, so what else could I complain about? Actually, I should be happy. Passing such a difficult trial meant that I still had some ability. Maybe I'm really like what they say, a genius rookie, a rookie genius, haha!
Now that I looked at Mason again, I suddenly felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye. At the very least, he was much stronger than that old man. After all, Mason didn't exist as a god like that old man. He used to be a human, so he could resonate with me more emotionally.
My profession level had changed to " Beginner Necromancer ", and my badge had also changed to orange. At the same time, I had also learned a level-2 Necromancer spell," Bone Rotting Arrow ". This was also a single-target attack spell, but its range and power were much greater than " Fire Scale Bullet ". It also had a certain chance of poisoning, and it didn't consume too much mental strength. It could be said to be the best spell for Necromancers. I had asked Mason about all of this. Ever since the incident with the old man, I realized that I could ask these NPCs if I had any questions. They were all very intelligent. As long as they were willing and didn't violate the system rules, I could get answers from them. Sometimes, there would even be some unexpected benefits. Anyway, they must be very lonely usually. It was not easy for someone to come and chat with them. Although he did not say it, he must be very happy in his heart.
After bidding farewell to Mason, I left the Undead Hut. When I looked back, I realized that I had already lost track of the Undead Hut. The next time I met him, it would be the time for me to advance to the third level. Necromancer, a mysterious profession. Is it a blessing or a curse for me?
I didn't intend to stay in the Undead Forest for too long. They were Mason's underlings, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the Undead Forest and Mason. Moreover, the " soul contract " couldn't be used in the human world. I only wanted to recruit underlings, not simply fight the undead. Undead creatures had a certain degree of resistance to undead magic attacks, and the effect was far less obvious on other creatures.
Coming here was easy, but going back was difficult. Facing the vast Heluo Plains, without Xue Wuxia and the others to protect me, I didn't have the confidence to return safely. Thus, I repeated the same trick and madly used the " One Rider Fleeing the Dust " skill. It was my life-saving skill, and my skill proficiency was only 1 star. If I wanted to further increase its effect, I would need to practice more. Since I was going to die anyway, I might as well use it a few more times.
Of course, before I entered the Heluo Grassland, I didn't forget to send Xue Wuxia and Little Chili Pepper a message to report the good news of my successful advancement. I also thanked them for their help once more. After suffering once, I had to learn to be smarter. I didn't dare to make these ladies unhappy again.
Wind and Xue Wuxia returned to Black Bear Ridge and worked hard to level up. I went to the Dead Spirit Space and continued to gather Skeleton Warriors. Based on Mason's suggestion and my experience over the past few days, I realized that the Skeleton Warriors were becoming less and less effective in increasing my experience and mental strength. It was probably time to challenge higher-level Undead creatures. After checking the Encyclopedia of Undead Creatures, the next target was the zombies. However, my skeleton minions were almost exhausted in the war against the undead. I wanted to replenish my manpower first. It would be easier if someone helped me catch the zombies.
On August 20th, the twentieth day of the game's operation, World International launched a major move. After careful and thorough preparations, Sky Media was officially released to the world. It was released daily for one silver coin per copy and was publicly released to every player. Sky Media was an online newspaper that was specifically targeted at the players of The World. It provided live coverage and background analysis of all kinds of news and major events that happened in The World every day. " Sky Media " has its headquarters in the Holy City of the Western Continent and branches in the other three continents. Our branch in the Eastern Continent is located in Beijing. All the staff are recruited from the staff and players of World International.
The first issue of " Sky Media " was given to every player for free. They only needed to click the " submit " button to read it. It published the meaning, purpose, and policies of the establishment of " Sky Media " as well as some related matters. At the same time, they began to openly recruit reporters among the players. This was a paid profession, and players of any profession could take up a part-time job. Players who wore a reporter's pass did not have any offensive skills, but they could wear any profession's equipment according to their work needs. All players and NPCs could not attack the reporters. They could take photos and interview them. All their functions were the same as in real life. Not only were they the link between the players to exchange experience, but they were also the bridge between World International and the players. All the important news about " The World " would be reported on " Sky Media " in a timely manner.
What made the male players even more excited was that the three beautiful female endorsers of " The World " would appear in the game with their real faces and become the first batch of special reporters of " Sky Media ". They would be responsible for tracking and interviewing the influential figures in " The World " and would even take photos with them. The opportunity to meet their idol at such a close distance made every young man in love fantasize about it. While eating, Ah Feng indulged in his fantasies for a long time, thinking about how he could make an earth-shattering event that could make the beautiful girl from China, Long Piaopiao, personally do an interview with him.
In the second episode of Sky Media, there was a ranking list for the most influential people in The World, which was voted by the players. There were ten people on the list. The first person to advance was ranked first, and he became the most famous person that the players wanted to know. I was honored to be ranked second because I was the first to change my class. The first person to advance from the Eastern Continent, Long Xing Tian, was ranked third. The other seven people on the list had never heard of them. Maybe we were ignorant. Sky Media hopes that we can take the initiative to contact them so that they can interview us and satisfy the curiosity of the players. "The World" absolutely respects the privacy of the players. Even the official website does not have the right to view and disclose the personal information of the players. All information must be disclosed by us.
Ah Feng was extremely jealous of this. When I made it clear that I would not accept an interview with the reporter from Sky Media, he was even more annoyed. It was a pity that I had given up such a good opportunity. That was a world-class beauty. In reality, he wanted to meet her but could not. He wished he could replace her with his body. Because of this, she had been making a ruckus in my ears for a few days, trying to persuade me to change my mind and agree to the interview with 'Sky Media' so that he could also borrow the light to meet his dream lover, Long Piaopiao. She even said that she could use mosaic to cover my face, which made me extremely annoyed. I couldn't take it anymore, so I used both my mouth and hands to teach him a lesson. Only then did he stop. Sigh, this beauty's power is really too great. Fortunately, Little Chili Pepper and Xue Wuxia, who know my background, are both women. Heart's Guard already belonged to someone else. Otherwise, if it was tempted by Wind, it might cause some trouble.
