Chapter 9: Necromancer's Early Skills
"Of course. If it weren't for the damn Dallas, I would be the grand magician now." Carilla said shamelessly.
"What? Someone is messing with you. I must help you. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Why does it sound like a quest? The quest of a hidden profession skill master must not be a rubbish quest. There must be good rewards if you complete it. You'd be an idiot not to ask about it.
"You?" The old man put his glasses on his nose, glanced at Ma Yingjie with his cross-eyed expression in surprise.
"Yes, if there is anything I can do for you, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Ma Yingjie patted his chest and said passionately.
"Forget it. I don't want Dallas to say that I'm old and blind. Wait until you have the ability to slay a dragon." The old man severely hit Ma Yingjie's "good intentions".
After spending a lot of time on this, I realized that the requirements of this task were too high. I must come back to do it after my level is raised.
"Okay, put your fingerprint here." The old man pointed to a slot machine on the counter and said, "Yes, it's an improved version of the slot machine. The place where the operation should be is a huge crystal stone."
Ma Yingjie put his hand on it as instructed, and a warm current instantly spread throughout his body like lightning. In this warm feeling, a soft voice sounded: "The fingerprint identification is successful. Congratulations on your successful job transfer, your honorable Necromancer."
"Do you want to learn any skills?" Old man Kerila looked like he was sure of winning over Ma Yingjie.
"Of course."
"Five gold coins."
"..."
"Forget about learning, but don't disturb my sleep."
"Of course I want to learn, but it's a little too expensive." You are about to fall asleep, and you are still sleeping. Ma Yingjie thought viciously.
"The price is fixed and I can't change it. But since we are destined to meet, I can give you a piece of equipment." The old man said as he glanced at the parts on Ma Yingjie's body.
"Okay, that's it." Ma Yingjie distressedly took out most of the assets he had worked hard for for more than a day. Of course, the system reward was not included. I heard that the gold coins given by the system can ward off evil spirits.
After being exploited by the old man for five gold coins, Lu Hao learned the job transfer skills of the Necromancer.
Light of Death: Attack 20, cooldown 1 second, consumes 2 mp points.
Proficiency 0/10000
Summon Skeleton Servant: Summon a skeleton from the monster's corpse to fight for you, consuming 5 MP points.
Proficiency 0/10000
Weakness: Reduces various attributes of the object. If there is a controversial gain effect, eliminate the gain effect first. The duration is 10 seconds and consumes 10 mp points.
Proficiency 0/10000
Slowness: Weakens the opponent's mobility, lasts for ten seconds, consumes 10 MP points.
Proficiency 0/10000
Bone Shield: Reduces physical attack damage by 10%, consumes 20 mp points.
Proficiency 0/1000
Apart from summoning skeletons, there is no practical attack skill. Could it be that the Necromancer in Blood Cry is a druid who can only summon undead? The difference is that the druid summons beasts, while Lu Hao summons skeletons.
After changing to the unrequired Madru Staff, Ma Hao opened his character interface, and the attributes became:
Player Name: Shadow

Adding the remaining points to intelligence, the IQ has been significantly improved, reaching a height of 69, and the magic damage has also become x12%, barely breaking through the 150 mark.
"Here, I can't wear this dress either, you can use it to cover your body." The old man turned around and rummaged through a pile of rags in the corner for a long time, and found a robe that was comparable to the holey one he was wearing.
Ma Yingjie took it and looked at it, a frown appeared on his face. The old man was still saying confidently that this was the best robe that a newly-transferred necromancer could wear.
Tattered black robe: physical defense +8, durability 3/22, level requirement 10, no profession requirement.
Ma Yingjie struggled for a while with mixed feelings, and decided to put on this one first. Wearing it would allow him to join the Beggars' Sect as a sixth-generation disciple.
Before leaving, he remembered something and took a look at the old man's "Compendium of Mage Branch Occupations": "I want to ask, how many hidden mage professions are there in total?" Mainly, the thickness of the book surprised Ma Yingjie. If it was all hidden professions recorded, it would be too exaggerated.
"There are a total of 6 branch professions in the Mage category, and the others are advanced professions. Players can change their professions when they reach level 40." Hearing this, Lu Hao let out a long breath. It turns out that the others are just advanced professions. There are many branch professions that appear when you reach level 40 in Blood Cry. For mages alone, there are wind, fire, water, earth, air, light, darkness, and some variants, such as the ice branch of the water system.
After bidding farewell to the black-hearted old man, Ma Yingjie gritted his teeth and spent more than twenty silver coins to buy a few bottles of Xiaolan (small MP recovery potion. For the sake of convenience in writing, the medicine is only referred to by its abbreviation).
The offline person called Lin Zhifei. After just two rings, the call was connected. Along with the electric current, Lin Zhifei's meaningless call of "Brother Hao" was heard.
"Stop talking nonsense to me, little brat. What's your name in the game? What level are you now? If you leave the village, come to Longcheng to meet me." Lu Hao scolded with a smile.
"My job in the game is running naked in my underwear. I haven't changed my job yet and there are too many people in the novice village, so I can't grab any monsters. I've only reached level 8 from yesterday to now, and that's without slacking off. Dongzi wanted to take me out to pick up girls, but for the sake of the game, I had to give up reluctantly. Brother Hao, can you understand how I felt at that time?" Lin Zhifei complained when he heard Lu Hao's question. It sounded as if he had bravely saved a patient in a car accident, but was falsely accused.
"Go to hell, I don't know what kind of person you are. Maybe you've caused trouble outside again and are being chased so you don't dare to go out." Ma Yingjie revealed the secret.
"Hehe, Brother Hao is really smart. I went out yesterday and met a pretty girl, but judging from her dress, she didn't look like a good person. I just wanted to have some fun with her, but when I got closer I found out that she was Dongzi's nth girlfriend. She is now yelling that she wants to chop me up and fight me to death." Lin Zhifei's voice came.
"Get lost, you're older than me, stop calling me Brother Hao all the time, it makes me feel old." Lu Hao knew Lin Zhifei very well. His biggest characteristic was his bad mouth, but he was the kind of person who would go through thick and thin for his brothers.
"Okay, this is what you said, I will call you Haozi from now on."
"Oh my god, you should just keep calling me Brother Hao, don't call me Mouse. It doesn't matter if I'm older, I don't want to be a pest."
After chatting with Lin Zhifei for a while, I hung up the phone. I learned from him that Dongzi (also known as Li Dong) was similar to him. There were too many people in the novice village, and upgrading became a difficult problem.
After stretching his limbs, Ma Yingjie clicked on the forum of the official website. A lot of news was spread from here. With the idea of understanding the important events happening in the game, Ma Yingjie browsed the forum posts.
One title reads: "A beta player's thoughts on the game. New players are welcome to come in and try it out."
This post talks about some unspoken rules in the game, such as where the explosion rate is high, where is suitable for upgrading mages, where is suitable for upgrading warriors, where is suitable for trysts, and where is suitable for group play. It also emphasizes that the game upgrades quickly in the early stage, and level 40 is a watershed. It will be extremely difficult to upgrade after level 40.
As for how difficult it is, the player who signed his name as Zhuge Bagua did not specify. As expected, he is very gossipy, just like his name suggests.
There is also a post titled "Is this a coincidence or favoritism?" which has received over 300 million hits and nearly replies.
Ma Yingjie clicked on it, and the post was about his various questions about obtaining the Betrayer's Ring and the Nether Dragon Xiao Hei. There were both positive and negative opinions on this. However, looking at the latest comments, most people said that they were the illegitimate children of a game planner at Yitian Company.
Isn't it just that I got a little bit of luck, didn't it just that I got a magical weapon, didn't it just that I got an ugly pet, let's call it a dragon...
There's no need to be so sarcastic. Sigh, Ma Yingjie felt a little depressed and clicked the x in the upper right corner. He will definitely not enter the forum next time. This person is too gossipy.
I looked at the signature of the post: Angry Little Cabbage.
Boy, I'll remember you. Don't let me see you in the game, or I'll beat you so hard that your mother won't recognize you. If it's a man, I'll kill him. If it's a woman, I'll rape her.
Put on the virtual helmet and enter the game again.
After arriving outside the city, we walked along the path heading southeast and soon arrived at a forest.
System prompt: You have discovered the barren forest.
There were many players who had changed their jobs in the woods, using their skills to kill monsters. Seeing four or five of them fighting over a monster, Lu Hao realized how happy he was in Stone Village.
Going directly around the desolate forest, he walked inside from the path next to it. Ma Yingjie didn't want to compete with so many people for monsters. Not only would he not get much experience, but his profession would also be exposed.
My profession is special, and it is a terrible thing to be exposed before I have the strength. There is no doubt that human beings have bad nature, so it would be unfair to be ambushed because of this.
After walking for more than half an hour, the road became harder and harder to walk on, and the monsters that spawned became stronger and stronger, ranging from level 10 jackals to level 15 bison.
After walking for a while, the scenery in front of me suddenly darkened. The originally deep blue sky and the green grass-filled land disappeared, and all I could see was a dark place. All around me were black ore. Not far away there was a dilapidated cabin and a few lonely trees of the same color as the ore.
