Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

The three people were stupefied.

Xia Xue knew that Lin Moyu had quite a few skeletons. He had shown them off when he carried her in the Xihai Mine dungeon. However, the current number was simply overwhelming.

Moreover, each skeleton was immensely strong, bulldozing through any monster that crossed their path.

Lin Moyu seemed to enjoy the thrill of speedrunning, not pausing once along the way.

Fortunately, he was just a Mage. Both Feng Xiu and Zuo Mei could easily keep up with him. Only Xia Xue struggled a bit. So Lin Moyu had to slow down a little to accommodate her.

Feng Xiu ran alongside Lin Moyu, ”Do you always raid dungeons like this?”

Lin Moyu made a sound of assent, saying, ”It saves time.”

Feng Xiu sighed, ”No wonder your leveling speed is so fast.”

Lin Moyu remarked, ”This isn’t even that fastest. I can go faster.”

”Even faster?” Feng Xiu had a hard time believing it. Wasn’t this fast enough?

They basically bulldozed through everything.

Zuo Mei also looked shocked, unable to understand how it could get any faster.

After running for over an hour, they finally reached the edge of the oasis. The Skeletal Warriors charged ahead, immediately attracting a large number of Oasis Scorpions.

The Skeletal Warriors didn’t stop but kept running along the oasis, drawing more and more Oasis Scorpions behind them.

When they reached the ant colony, Lin Moyu’s eyes lit up, ”You guys are really lucky.”

The three didn’t understand why Lin Moyu said that.

The Skeletal Warriors stopped and unleashed their skill, instantly killing a dozen-plus Oasis Scorpions. Then, Lin Moyu caught up to them, raised his hand, and cast a skill.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

The explosion sent sand flying everywhere, creating huge sandpits.

Deafening explosions rose one after another. The three people’s EXP skyrocketed, and a large amount of notifications flooded in.

Feng Xiu and Zuo Mei remembered the time of the great examination, when Lin Moyu used the same skill to kill a massive amount of monsters. Now the skill’s power and range had increased significantly.

After a series of explosions, the Oasis Scorpions were all dead.

The Skeletal Warriors charged forward and dealt with the Desert Young Ants at the entrance of the ant colony.

”We actually came across Desert Fruit. You guys are really lucky.”

Last time, Lin Moyu had to enter the dungeon multiple times to find Desert Fruit. But this time, while carrying them through a mission, they found Desert Fruit right away.

It was a shame, but he didn’t need to grind any skills at the moment. He planned to come back for Desert Fruit once he reached level 30 and learned new skills.

He briefly explained the effects of Desert Fruit to them. The three were overjoyed.

Regardless of the class, apart from skill cooldowns, the most troublesome aspect of grinding skills was spirit force consumption.

Even an Assassin-type class like that of Zuo Mei, which consumed a small amount of spirit force with each use of a skill, would still feel the pinch after using skills a certain number of times.

Grinding skills was hard. Therefore, places like the Skill Grinding Center existed.

But with Desert Fruit, you could ignore spirit force consumption and grind your skills freely.

”You stay here and grind your skills. I’ll go take care of the monsters inside.”

With a thought from Lin Moyu, the Skeletal Warriors ran into the ant colony and started drawing the monsters in the colony. Lin Moyu followed the skeletons inside.

The three people stayed behind and began using Desert Fruit to grind their skills.

Soon, muffled booms came from the colony, and their EXP shot up like crazy, filling up the gauge by more than half.

Feng Xiu sighed, ”It would be great if leveling could always be like this.”

Zuo Mei rolled her eyes, ”What’s the use of this kind of leveling? Without combat experience, you’ll be no different from a flower in a greenhouse.”

Xia Xue smiled, ”Though leveling this way is easy, we still need combat experience. Only by accumulating combat experience can we truly grow stronger.”

”Otherwise, merely levels without combat experience is quite useless.”

Zuo Mei agreed, ”Exactly. Throughout history, no powerhouse has ever reached the summit without stepping over the corpses of Abyssal Demons.”

Feng Xiu looked aggrieved, ”I was just saying it offhand. Why are you guys getting so worked up?”

Zuo Mei snorted and continued grinding her skills.

Such an opportunity was rare. They couldn’t take the Desert Fruits with them. If they didn’t seize this opportunity now, they might not get another in the future.

Feng Xiu said no more. Having come from a military family, he knew the importance of combat experience. However, watching EXP rise rapidly was really exciting.

An hour later, Lin Moyu emerged from the ant colony. The ants weren’t all dead yet. At most, only half were blasted apart.

Lin Moyu had used Corpse Explosion recklessly, whether there were living monsters around or not. When his spirit force was depleted, he went back outside and ate two Desert Fruits, before going back into the colony.

With Desert Fruit and a large number of ants, it was a good opportunity to grind his Corpse Explosion skill, even though going back and forth was a bit troublesome.

Soon, another series of booms came from the ant colony.

An hour later, Lin Moyu returned again. He ate three more Desert Fruits, before heading back into the ant colony.

...

Finally, Lin Moyu had reached the Desert Queen Ant’s chamber, having killed everything that could be killed outside the chamber. He released Skeletal Mages, and they swarmed into the queen ant’s chamber. A total of 290 skeletons overwhelmed the queen ant.

Lin Moyu didn’t bother watching the process, since the outcome was a foregone conclusion. As expected, he soon received the notification that the queen ant had been killed.

Lin Moyu returned to the ant colony’s entrance and replenished his spirit force with Desert Fruits. The three people were still frantically grinding their skills.

Three hours had passed, and, most of the majpority of the Desert Fruits were gone.

Lin Moyu rested nearby, waiting for them. They ground for five hours, before the Desert Fruits were finally all used up.

The party then set out again, crossing the ant colony and entering the Lionman territory.

Before long, the Lionman Tyrant fell at the feet of the Skeletal Warriors.

”Dungeon mission completed!”

Lin Moyu stretched his body and yawned. Raiding this dungeon was too easy for him. He barely needed to give any commands; the Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Mages by themselves were enough to sweep through the dungeon.

”Is it over already?”

”Was this really a world rank boss?

”It doesn’t seem that impressive!”

The three looked at the tyrant’s corpse in disbelief. They already received the mission completion notification.

This was the academy’s toughest dungeon mission, and it had stumped many students, yet it was now completed?

The mission completion notification was real; the mission was indeed finished.

Lin Moyu left the party, ”I need to do level grinding! Contact me if you need anything!”

Xia Xue replied, ”Go ahead. Thank you.”

”We’re old fellow students, there’s no need for thanks.” Lin Moyu smiled and entered the Fire God’s Palace Hall dungeon.

After Lin Moyu left, Xia Xue said softly, ”He seems different now, not as cold as before.”

Compared to now, Lin Moyu used to speak much less.

Feng Xiu commented, ”Remember the girl we saw with him? Maybe this is the power of love.”

Zuo Mei snapped, ”Love, my foot! Let’s go do more dungeon grinding.”

Xia Xue giggled, ”No matter how he changes, he’s still an old fellow student.”

...

Lin Moyu resumed his speedrunning. Although it wasn’t as addictive as yesterday, it was still very enjoyable. Only he could fully grasp this feeling.

After a smooth raid, he felt invigorated. He exited the dungeon and was ready to enter it again.

”Junior Lin!”

A gentle voice interrupted him.

Shu Han stood in front of him and called out again, ”Junior Lin.”

Lin Moyu asked, ”Is something the matter, Senior?”

Lin Moyu had a good impression of Shu Han. Whether it was explaining things to him or selling him the extraordinary Fatigue Potion, she had given him quite a bit of help, even though it came with a price.

Shu Han asked, ”Junior Lin, have you obtained any elemental fragments while raiding the Fire God’s Palace Hall dungeon?”

Elemental fragments... she must be referring to the Fire Crystal Fragments.

Lin Moyu nodded, ”I have.”

Shu Han showed a hint of embarrassment on her face and hesitated before speaking, ”Junior Lin, if you have extra elemental fragments, could you sell me one?”

”I know it might be difficult, since elemental fragments are very rare...”

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Moyu had already handed her a Fire Crystal Fragment, ”Is this it?”

Shu Han nodded eagerly, ”Yes, that’s it. Can you sell it to me?”

”I can’t.” Lin Moyu refused bluntly and put the Fire Crystal Fragment away.

Shu Han looked disappointed.

Suddenly, a red light flashed before her eyes, and a gem the size of an egg appeared. It was a complete Fire Crystal.

”Take it!” Lin Moyu smiled.

To him, the Fire Crystal wasn’t really precious. He could obtain one in about five raids, or three hours of work. However, to Shu Han, it was incredibly valuable.

The parties from Chuangshi Institute and Yanhuang Institute, 12 people per party, toiled for over four hours to obtain one fragment. Three fragments were needed to form a complete Fire Crystal.

”Ah!” Shu Han covered her mouth in shock, and her eyes went wide.

It was such a precious item, yet he was giving it away for free?

Lin Moyu placed the Fire Crystal in her hand, ”If you have Fatigue Potion in the future, remember to sell me some.”
