Chapter 228 The Ark Attains Enlightenment, Xiao Chan Ascends to Heaven (Minor Revision)
"By the way, Senior Brother Pengfei."
Fangzhou then asked, "Did you record the coordinates of the cave in the Beast Mountain Range where you discovered this black magic bottle?"
If you have it, could you share a copy with me?
When I advance to the Black Iron level and am qualified to go to the Beast Mountain Range for trials, I want to go there and search again.
Let's see if we can find anything.
Yue Pengfei was slightly taken aback, but immediately agreed, "Of course I have the coordinates, I'll share them with you right away."
He quickly opened his personal terminal, swiped his finger across the screen, and sent the precious coordinate information to the Ark.
"Fangzhou, we have thoroughly cleaned the cave where we found the black magic bottle."
Apart from the bloodthirsty bat carcasses scattered all over the ground, there was nothing inside or outside the cave.
I doubt you'll make any discoveries.
Fangzhou nodded upon hearing this.
"Thank you for reminding me, senior brother. It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision."
After all, even in the mythological world, undead artifacts like the Black Magic Bottle are extremely rare.
if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.
Even if nothing is discovered, it doesn't matter.
But if I were to make any discoveries, that would be a tremendous surprise for a necromancer like me.
Having successfully completed the transaction of the Black Magic Bottle and the Evergreen Fruit, Fang Zhou exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Yue brothers, Yue Pengfei and Yue Lingyun, before bidding them farewell and hurrying towards the cafeteria.
Haicheng Military Academy, canteen.
Ignoring the opinions and comments about him behind the backs of the Yue brothers, Yue Lingyun and Yue Pengfei, Fang Zhou was enjoying his lunch with a whirlwind of energy.
At the same time, his fingers danced lightly across the screen of his personal terminal.
【Ordinary Apprentice】(Ark): "Instructor Xinyan, I obtained a necromancy-attribute artifact from a third-year senior. It looks like a black magic bottle."
Although I have found a way to activate this black magic bottle, my mental strength is still insufficient to fully activate it.
Therefore, I urgently need your help.
Now, I'd like to come to the lab to see you. Is that convenient?
After sending the message, Fangzhou looked away from the screen and gazed out the window.
Shortly after, the personal terminal vibrated, and Su Xinyan's reply appeared on the screen.
【The Necromancer is Invincible】(Su Xinyan): "A rare item with necromantic attributes? This is a rare treasure."
No problem, come over quickly, I'll be waiting for you in the office.
However, before you arrive, why don't you show me a picture of this black magic bottle first, so I can have a sneak peek?
Fangzhou opened his personal terminal, carefully took out the black magic bottle from the brocade box, and placed it under the holographic scanner attached to his personal terminal.
Then, the holographic projection was transmitted to Su Xinyan.
Composing himself, Fang Zhou stood up and prepared to head to the necromancer research group's laboratory.
However, just as he was about to step out of the cafeteria, two familiar figures came into view.
Those were Meng Hongzhuang and Bai Xiaochun, two lively, cute, and energetic assistants.
At this moment, Meng Hongzhuang lightly waved her arm, her voice clear and crisp like a bell, "Big Boss Fangzhou, you didn't even check your personal terminal?"
We've been waiting for you on the trading channel for ages!
Fang Zhou was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening and took out his personal terminal from his pocket.
In the trading channel, messages kept popping up like a machine gun.
"Ark Soil, the Apprentice Mage Hat and two Apprentice Rings that you publicly displayed on the trading channel have been successfully sold."
Please follow the prompts to complete the transaction.
That was about the apprentice mage hat and two apprentice rings he showed on the trading channel.
They have been successfully sold and are just waiting for him to confirm shipment.
At this moment, Bai Xiaochun rushed over like a cheerful little bird.
She circled the ark a few times, her eyes gleaming with triumph.
"Ark," she said, her voice tinged with a hint of self-satisfaction, "I snapped up one of the apprentice rings that had been enhanced to its limit."
The remaining two items were taken by Meng Hongzhuang.
Once you hand over these apprentice equipment to us and the transaction is confirmed, you will receive 90 contribution points.
Last night, while exploring the trading channel, Fangzhou carefully placed the apprentice-level equipment that had accompanied him through many battles but now seemed somewhat outdated due to his increased strength into the item inventory.
These three pieces of equipment are very cost-effective for Bai Xiaochun, Meng Hongzhuang, and Shen Ziwei, the three assistants.
In order to help the three assistants improve their strength and to ensure that they can learn about the equipment as soon as possible, Fangzhou specially sent a notice in the chat group of the Necromancer Support Group.
In retrospect, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang were quite effective.
They had raised enough contribution points to buy these three pieces of apprentice equipment, which had been meticulously enhanced to the limit by Ark and were extremely cost-effective.
Fangzhou was naturally delighted with this.
He took out a spatial storage capsule and handed the apprentice mage hat and two apprentice rings stored inside to Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang.
"These three apprentice equipment pieces, although they are gray-quality initial equipment, have been refined by 1 and are further enhanced by level 1 gems."
Their value far exceeds their surface price.
You got a great deal by purchasing them for 30 contribution points each.
Bai Xiaochan gently stroked the apprentice ring in her hand, her red lips slightly parted, revealing a charmingly naive smile.
She gently nuzzled Fang Zhou's arm, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry and dependence.
"Fangzhou, you are such a good person."
When you discard your unwanted items in the future, please remember me!
I'm your number one fan!
Meng Hongzhuang, however, was not to be outdone.
She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Fangzhou's right arm, and spoke with confidence.
"Don't forget about me, Ark Boss."
My contribution points are much more than Bai Xiaochun's.
Next time you want to sell something, be sure to ask for my opinion first.
Let's get stronger together, and then we can team up for trials and missions in the future.
Fangzhou gently opened his personal terminal, and a line of eye-catching text appeared before his eyes.
"Ark Sergeant, congratulations on completing the transaction. 90 contribution points have been credited to your account."
Although these 90 contribution points were not a large number, they made up for the 50 contribution points he had previously paid to exchange for the black magic bottle from Yue Pengfei.
However, for Ark, these 90 contribution points are just the tip of the iceberg.
His personal terminal displayed an astonishing figure—a fortune of nearly 2500 contribution points.
In his view, the gains and losses of less than 100 contribution points were not worth much attention.
He has now set his sights on the higher-level Iron-tier skills.
Each exchange requires hundreds of contribution points, making those small transactions seem insignificant in comparison.
Of course, Ark was not complacent because of this.
He withdrew his arm from the warm embrace of Bai Xiaochan and Meng Hongchan and spoke again.
"Xiao Chan, in red makeup."
Whether it's improving your own abilities or completing the research tasks assigned to the necromancer research group, you cannot slack off in the slightest.
We must grasp both aspects firmly.
"I should be able to advance to the next level of apprenticeship in no time."
I hope you can work harder before then and reach the intermediate level of apprentice.
This way, I can also lead you all to sweep through the [Horned Demon Camp] and challenge the historical speedrun leaderboards at various difficulty levels.
This is a considerable amount of contribution points, enough to give you a leap in strength and status.
Of course, I won't deliberately slow down my cultivation progress to wait for you.
If none of you meet the challenge requirements before I advance from apprentice to higher rank, then you only have your own fault.
The two assistants, who were originally immersed in the atmosphere of acting cute and charming, instantly put away their playful smiles.
After all, if he couldn't latch onto Ark's powerful backer before breaking through to the Apprentice level and teaming up with Ark to sweep through the Horned Demon camp...
They'd be devastated if they missed out on all those generous first-clear and speedrun rewards!
Realizing the urgency of the situation, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang didn't delay any longer, nodding repeatedly as they eagerly prepared to leave.
However, just as they turned around, Fang Zhou looked at Bai Xiaochun and gave her a look.
Bai Xiaochun, who had been trained by Fang Zhou for a long time, instantly understood the meaning behind Fang Zhou's look.
So she patiently untied the apprentice's harp that she was carrying on her back.
As Bai Xiaochun's slender fingers danced across the piano keys, a melodious lullaby flowed out, nourishing his soul, restoring its vitality, and the speed of nourishment quietly increased.
Immediately afterwards, the stirring "Song of Triumph" began to play, and his spiritual power surged forth like a spring, making his handsome face radiate with unprecedented brilliance.
Having successfully applied two important buffs, Fangzhou released Bai Xiaochan with satisfaction, waved gently, and signaled that they could leave.
In his mind, whether from the perspective of serving as his research assistant and support buff girl, or from the perspective of forming a team to participate in the new recruit competition, he hoped that Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang would be as strong as possible.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take the lead and set an example, using his own actions to crush these shrewish women.
As Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang disappeared from sight, Fang Zhou stretched and set off alone on the path to the necromancer research group.
Knock knock knock!
Fang Zhou stood in front of Instructor Su Xinyan's office and gently knocked on the door a few times.
"Please come in."
Fangzhou slowly pushed open the office door.
Instructor Su Xinyan, dressed in a silver fishtail dress, looked like the most mysterious mermaid in the deep sea, sitting quietly on the sofa.
The blood-red fruit wine in her hand shimmered alluringly under the light.
His eyes were glazed over, and his cheeks were flushed; he had clearly entered a state of profound awareness.
But her drunken state did not diminish her charm in the slightest; on the contrary, it added to her irresistible allure.
The air was filled with the aromas of wine, fruit, and Instructor Su Xinyan's unique body fragrance, creating an intoxicating and rich scent.
