The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe
Chapter 51: Looking for Inspiration
CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching turned to look at Mr. Zhou next to him: "It started just like that? Somehow it feels unreal."
Mr. Zhou shrugged at the words: "All of our players have reached level 2, and a large part of them have become Low Tier Skeleton Warriors, the rest are not far behind."
"Plus, the equipment has been crafted, so even though it’s a bit abrupt, it’s still within reason."
"Right, these things aren’t important. What’s important is the enchantment, we should hurry and ask about this one-off enchantment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhou quickly approached Fang Ka and asked, "Mage Fang Ka, could you tell us what is needed for armor enchantment currently?"
Fang Ka glanced at Mr. Zhou, then pretended to wave his hand, and a ’shop’ interface appeared before the player’s eyes.
In the ’shop’, two new options had emerged.
"Basic Level Dark Element Weapon Enchantment: Priced at 10 Silver Coins, 10 points."
"Basic Level Water Element Armor Enchantment: Priced at 10 Silver Coins, 10 points (limited time offer 1 Silver Coin, 1 point, only once)."
Seeing this, the players immediately understood and expressed their desire to enchant their armor.
Fang Ka quickly spoke, instructing the players to line up and come one by one.
Enchantment requires the use of the Alchemy Platform, and different elements and levels of enchantment require different materials.
Within the Ancient Castle, there were still many Water Element, Dark Element, and Wood Element enchantment materials, so there was no immediate need for the players to find them.
When they run out, they can just issue a collection quest and let the players search for them.
Basic Level enchantment materials, regardless of which element, are not hard to find.
He had the players take off their armor outside the Ancient Castle, line up to hand them over to him.
Once he received them, he would take the equipment into the castle for enchanting, and after completing the enchantment, return them to the players.
He decided to act tomorrow morning; an entire night is more than sufficient to enchant the players’ equipment.
After all, there aren’t many of them, only sixty players.
In fact, they didn’t even have to wait until the next morning; by early dawn, all sixty players’ equipment enchantments had been completed.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. At first, Fang Ka felt awkward and a bit uncomfortable with the enchantments, but gradually, his proficiency increased, and the speed improved significantly.
At this moment, the players were examining their armor excitedly, and faint magical ripples seemed to be flowing across them.
Iron Black Pot glanced at the sky: "It’s still early before daybreak, time shouldn’t be wasted. I’m off to gather the Magic Potions that Mage Fang Ka buys."
Hearing Iron Black Pot, the other players scattered, evidently also heading out to gather Magic Potions.
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching looked at Mr. Zhou: "I plan to continue meditating and figure out my Magic Power as early as possible. What about you?"
Mr. Zhou nodded as well: "I will meditate too. I feel like I’m about to figure out Magic Power; if all goes well, it should be done before sunrise."
"Then it will be possible to use Magic in the hidden dungeon too."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching pointed to an empty area next to them: "Shall we go to that open space?"
Mr. Zhou naturally had no objections, and the two went together to the open space and sat cross-legged, beginning their meditation.
Over an hour later, Mr. Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, excitedly extending his hand, where a faint magic wave could be sensed.
"I did it! Finally became a Mage."
Hearing Mr. Zhou’s sound, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching gently opened his eyes: "You succeeded?"
Mr. Zhou pumped his fist excitedly: "Yeah, I succeeded, figured out Magic Power. It feels much more comfortable to meditate near the Ancient Castle compared to other places."
"The feeling is so magical, it’s indescribable. Grandpa Qian, did you feel it too?"
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching nodded: "Yes, I felt it. I thought it was just because I was in good shape tonight, but now it seems to be the Ancient Castle."
Mr. Zhou stroked his chin: "Could it be that Mage Fang Ka has set up some means within the Ancient Castle? Something that can affect its surroundings?"
At this thought, Mr. Zhou’s eyes lit up: "I swear, once the property system is out, no matter the cost, I must get a house near the Ancient Castle."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching glanced at the Ancient Castle not far away: "Doesn’t that mean the money we prepared isn’t enough?"
Before, both of them had set aside a sum of money, which was Mr. Zhou’s idea.
Because Mr. Zhou thought that since the game had been rolling out so many features, more surprises were likely coming, so it was wise to save some money just in case.
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching thought it made sense then, so he did the same.
Mr. Zhou looked at the Ancient Castle: "We don’t know when the property system will open, but it’s fine if it doesn’t. At least Mage Fang Ka clearly doesn’t mind us meditating near the castle."
"If the property system opens eventually, there’ll surely be area restrictions, and then you might not be able to just hang around anywhere, so getting property near the Ancient Castle is a must."
"Let’s prepare for now, though we don’t need to worry too much."
"As it stands, we’re definitely the wealthiest among the players."
"If necessary, we can pool resources together to buy a property."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching nodded: "Alright, I’ll continue meditating, aiming to figure out Magic Power soon. This game feels so realistic; casting Magic must be awesome."
"What are you planning to do?"
Mr. Zhou waved his hand: "I’m planning to turn in my only quest, Magic Beginning, to Mage Fang Ka first."
"Then I’ll practice Magic, hoping to improve my Magic Affinity tonight, so that when I enter the hidden dungeon tomorrow morning, I can cast Magic successfully."
"Alright, I won’t disturb you. Grandpa Qian, you continue meditating."
As he said that, Mr. Zhou headed to the Ancient Castle, turned in the quest to Fang Ka, and then moved a bit further to start practicing Magic.
He switched between three spells: (Basic Death Wrap), (Basic Water Arrow Skill), (Basic Wood Vine Skill).
He planned to practice Basic Death Wrap tonight.
Fang Ka sat in front of the Ancient Castle, observing Mr. Zhou’s figure for a while before closing his eyes to meditate again.
It’s certain that Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching could figure out Magic Power in a short time.
This wasn’t surprising because their skeletons were originally mages in their previous lives.
Their speed in figuring out Magic Power was definitely much faster than ordinary people.
What piqued his interest was whether these two players would bring any surprises to him.
This world’s magic is currently in its development stage, with mages continuously researching and innovating on the path of magic, opening up new fields.
Will Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching and Mr. Zhou come up with innovations worth his ’reference’ in the future?
