Chapter 2 Attribute Panel, add some points for me!
[Summon Skeletons] (Apprentice Level, Beginner): Can summon skeletons to fight. Their number, strength, and duration depend on mental attributes and skill proficiency.
A professional's skills can be used not only in combat but also in production.
The Federation has combined professional skills and technological means very well, and the personal terminal is a very successful example of this.
Professionals can learn skills, view guides, and exchange resources all through their personal terminals.
Unfortunately, the skill "Summon Skeletons" was already in the skill library, so Ark did not receive the reward.
After a short while, seeing that all the trainees had finished registering their skills, Lu Hu asked, "How's it going? Did anyone acquire a new skill?"
"Reporting, Instructor! I've awakened a new skill, and the Federation has awarded me 100 contribution points as a reward," a burly male trainee said proudly.
Upon hearing this, all the students looked on with envy.
It's important to know that as corporals, their basic monthly salary is only 1 contribution point.
Lu Hu laughed and said, "Good! Apprentice-level skills are weak, but we can use them as a foundation to develop a brand new professional skill tree and increase the foundation of our Human Alliance."
Dear students, as long as you work hard, you will be able to develop your own unique skills and earn generous rewards in the future.
Alright, that concludes today's awakening session. Dismissed!
The trainees returned to their dormitories in twos and threes, their expressions filled with excitement and fighting spirit.
Fang Zhou seemed lost in thought the whole way, and Lu Hu's words had touched him.
In many fantasy games, necromancers are often referred to as "catastrophes."
Summoning, Skeleton, Flesh and Blood, Corruption, Curse, Soul...
A wide variety of skills allow a necromancer to command an army all by himself.
I wonder how far the necromancers in this world have developed their skill trees?
Back in his dorm, Fangzhou sat at his desk and opened his personal terminal.
Searching for keywords like "necromancer" yields very few results.

"On Why Necromancers Are So Weak"
......
Fangzhou glanced through the job guides and silently shook his head.
In this world, the plight of necromancers is even more dire than he imagined.
First, the meditation method is weak, which results in the necromancer's cultivation speed and mental attributes being far inferior to other mages.
Secondly, the skill tree is too rudimentary, mainly focused on summoning, but the undead creatures that can be summoned are all trash like skeletons, zombies, and ghouls.
Aside from summoning skills, there are only a few unsystematic poison and negative energy skills, and their power is generally average.
Furthermore, because necromancer magic is very harmful to the human body, necromancers are generally in poor physical condition and find it difficult to adapt to intense battlefield environments.
Various factors have led to the decline of this profession.
Fangzhou sighed. No matter what, he'd try out his skills first.
He tried to activate the [Summon Skeleton] skill. As his mental energy was depleted, a black vortex appeared beside him, and a gray, dilapidated skeleton, empty-handed, staggered out.
Looking at its weak soul fire, Ark was somewhat disappointed.
In his perception, the skeleton's four-dimensional attributes were estimated to be no more than 1 on average, making it unable to defeat even an ordinary person who had not yet awakened.
However, he touched his chin, a little puzzled in his heart.
According to the guide, since Blue Star is very far from the Netherworld, summoning skeletons is a skill that consumes a lot of mental energy.
A newly awakened junior apprentice can cast this spell twice in a row, but summoning two skeletons will deplete their mental energy.
However, it seemed that only a tiny bit of his mental energy had been consumed, about one-twentieth of it.
This means that the Ark can summon 20 skeletons in a row.
The difference is just too big.
Fangzhou opened his personal terminal, wanting to see an analysis of the [Summon Skeleton] skill.
"The most important factor for necromancers to use summoning skills is the degree of their connection with the underworld."
The closer the connection with the Netherworld, the easier it is to receive a summoned creature's response, and the less mental energy is consumed.
Fangzhou suddenly realized that his guess was probably true.
The other world where the skeleton clone resides is indeed the realm of the dead.
Only in this way can we explain why he consumed so little mental energy to summon the skeletons.
With his skeletal clone, there is probably no necromancer in the world more blessed than him!
Fang Zhou smiled slightly. A necromancer who could only summon two trash skeletons was probably easy to bully.
However, no class dares to underestimate a necromancer who can summon twenty skeletons to form a sea of bones!
Furthermore, the more a skill is used, the higher its proficiency becomes, and the greater its power; the same applies to summoning skills.
A fully powered Ark can summon skeletons 20 times, and its skill proficiency increases 10 times faster than that of a normal necromancer.
This naturally leads to an enormous boost in combat power.
Having figured this out, he didn't hesitate and used the Summon Skeleton technique twenty more times in a row, only stopping when he felt his mental energy was about to reach its limit.
During this time, he also tried to summon his skeleton clones to Earth using the [Summon Skeleton] skill.
However, for unknown reasons, the attempt ended in failure.
As darkness fell, Fangzhou surveyed the sea of skeletons he had summoned with satisfaction.
Fortunately, Haicheng Military Academy is well-funded and provides each student with a single apartment.
Otherwise, the average freshman would probably be scared to death if they suddenly saw these dozens of skeletons flickering with soul fire.
Maintaining the existence of the summoned creatures also requires mental energy. After observing them for a while, Ark banished them all back to the Netherworld.
Next, he searched the necromancer's apprentice skill library.
The class has very few skills, only a few such as [Skeleton Meditation], [Summon Skeleton], [Touch of Corrosion], [Death Missile], and [Weakening Ray].
Apart from the [Skull Meditation Technique], which is a necessary skill to acquire for cultivation, the other skills seem quite weak, leaving Ark very dissatisfied.
Following the guide's instructions, he also looked through the general apprentice skill library.
These general skills are not numerous, but they are the culmination of human wisdom over decades.
Generation after generation of professionals racked their brains and successfully transformed a very small number of their own profession's exclusive skills into universal skills that could be used by all professions, so that other professions could learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses.
Representative common skills of the mage class include [Mana Missile], [Mana Blast], [Mage Hand], [Mana Shield], [Presence of Mind], etc.
Warrior-specific skills include [Charge], [Brutal Strike], [Parry], [Weapon Specialization], [Battle Cry], etc.
It looks much more practical than the necromancer's skill set.
