Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 13 Defense Missions
[Mission objective: build fortifications for the shelter (0/1)]

[Clear the threats around the shelter (0/1)]

[Mission Reward: Command of the Sailor of the Breaking Wave]

"Accept the mission."

After Wang Yue chose to accept, the boatswain immediately followed behind him.

The yellow blood bar above the NPC's head turned green. He temporarily became Wang Yue's follower, and would attack if threatened.

"This follower is level 10, what other tasks can be difficult for me?"

Wang Yue just glanced at the task and understood what she was going to do. The first goal was to collect and manufacture, and the second goal was to kill monsters.

Followers are different from summons, they are not cannon fodder that has been hacked to death twice, and their strength is the same as that of ordinary monsters.

Even minions with elite strength will appear in missions, but such missions are often very difficult.

"Bosun, let's strengthen our defense first."

The boatswain who was a living dead raised his hand and circled his fingers.

On the periphery of the shelter, there was already the foundation of the fortification, which was a circle of marked earth trenches plus wooden clubs fallen on the ground.

"Do I need to build a wooden fence?"

Relying on the advantage of the carpenter sub-occupation, the system has displayed [wooden fence] at the fortification.

Wang Yue took a wooden stick and drew the shape of the fence on the ground, and showed the boatswain the defensive project he wanted to make, but the living dead seemed to be severely decomposed, and there was no feedback.

"Boy, do as you want."

The skull-headed Sith jumped onto Wang Yue's shoulder at this time, acting as a supervisor.

With someone affirming her idea, Wang Yue immediately set off to start construction.

"The shelter is the size of a football field, so it would be very difficult for me to do it alone."

Wood is not what Wang Yue needs to worry about. There are 100 pieces of necromancy wood materials in his package, all of which should be enough to make fences.

"Goudan, you and your men line up in front of me."

Summoned objects are the best coolies, and entrusting them with the work of carrying can relieve most of the work pressure.

Wang Yue exhausted his mana first, and summoned two [Elementary Skeletons] successively, so that he gathered 5 tireless free laborers around him.

"Brother Sailor, can you chop wood for me?"

His only weapon is a rapier, and he had already suffered a loss when making tents before.

Wang Yue thought it would be boring for the bosun to follow her all the time.

The harpoon in his hand only had a single-sided blade due to rust, but it looked like a long-handled knife, which was very suitable for chopping wood.

"Where is the enemy?"

The bosun tilted his head and continued to repeat his classic lines.

"It is your enemy."

Wang Yue called up the package system, clicked on one of the pieces of wood to confirm taking it out, and the dark necromancy wood trunk appeared beside them.

He struggled to hold the wood, and slowly put the wood under his feet.

The bosun watched the logs roll toward him, his head lowered as the distance shortened.

"Shh."

The long-handled knife sliced ​​through the air and landed on the black bark.

After the boatswain raised his hand, the wood didn't move at all, and a small sound came from the wood.

Wang Yue kicked the wood, and the cylindrical wood scattered into a pile of long strips.

"For monsters, level 10 is level 1. Upgrading to level 1 is a qualitative leap. It's normal to be stronger."

Although some of the pieces of wood were of different lengths, one piece of material was processed in such a short period of time. Wang Yue had already made up his mind that he had to ask the bosun to cut 100 pieces of wood before letting him go.

"Then I'll get to work too."

The biggest advantage of sub-professions is automatic management, just need to issue orders to start production.

[Carpentry work in progress: primary fence]

The primary fence is one of the most basic carpentry skills, which can be learned directly without drawings.

After using the skills of the sub-professional, a virtual image of a fence appeared in Wang Yue's sight, which was the game system guiding the player to operate.

"Thick ones for stakes, thin ones for strips, poke a few holes in the stakes and insert them. Oh, I get it all."

Wang Yue threw away the pit with bare hands, and put the thick tree stump into the pit.

He used 【Bone Spur】for the final fine treatment, so that every wooden strip can be inserted into the stump.

It only takes 3 minutes to successfully assemble a tree stump, and his carpentry proficiency level will also increase when he completes the production.

"Sort from high to low, you hand me the cut wood strips from thick to thin."

The skeletons are lined up in an assembly line, and at the end of the assembly line is the boatswain who is constantly chopping wood.

But assembling and handling wood takes time after all, and chopping wood can be done in a split second.

The 10 pieces of wood were quickly cut down by the boatswain, and Wang Yue had to stop the team because he had just completed the second stake.

"Brother Sailor, I know you are very strong, but please cut slowly."

The boatswain nodded, seemingly understanding, so Wang Yue returned to the front row of the team and continued to assemble the fence.

A wooden stake is needed every 1 meter, and a total of 400 wooden stakes are needed to surround the shelter. Not counting the time for grinding materials, it will take 400 hours to assemble these 20 stakes.

"A happy life can only be achieved by hands."

【Woodworking Proficiency Improvement】

[Current proficiency level: 12]

Even though the carpenter has improved by 10 levels in half an hour, it is too much pain for Wang Yue to really make 400 wooden stakes.

"What's the difference between going on like this and 996? I'm the producer, how can I work for an NPC in the game?"

After completing 10 wooden stakes, Wang Yue stopped and signaled everyone to stop their work.

"Come here, I'll tell you a few words."

He hooked the dog's egg with his hand, and let the dog's egg come to the unassembled wooden stake.

There is an essential difference between contract summons and ordinary summons, Wang Yue thinks that she should train such intelligent servants more.

"The first time I saw you, I saw that you were different."

Wang Yue originally wanted to pat Goudan on the shoulder, but unfortunately because he was not tall enough, he could only pat Goudan on the chest.

"See the wooden strip in front of you? Just this, that, this...do you understand?"

He showed the wood processing and assembly methods in front of the dog egg, which looked like playing the piano against a cow.

Although Wang Yue knew that he was not a good teacher, he felt that the omnipotent AI should be able to understand.

"Understand? How about I demonstrate it again?"

Goudan stopped on the spot and stared at Wang Yue, with a pair of intelligent skull eye sockets that were invisible and pitch black.

You must know that skulls have no brains. Although there are hard skulls, once the skull is broken, there is nothing inside.

"He's not really a fool, is he?"

Just when Wang Yue was about to give up the idea and continue to go into battle in person, Goudan, who had been motionless, started his performance.

He first lifted a thick piece of wood, smashed it hard into the soil, poked the stake with his bony fingers, dug a groove, and finally inserted a thin piece of wood into the groove to connect with the previous stake.

"Not bad, you will be my number one general from now on."

Wang Yue is very happy to have someone work instead of her.

He immediately asked the boatswain to speed up the wood cutting and quickly processed 100 pieces of wood.

Before leaving, he did not forget to give instructions to the other five [Junior Skeletons] to continue to cooperate with Goudan, while he led the boatswain to the north of the [Sanctuary].

……

"I believe these 100 pieces of wood are enough for them to work for a while."

The moon was hanging high outside, and Wang Yue noticed that the upper limit of her physical strength bar was decreasing again, and the long-lost hunger hit again.

"Fortunately, I have a lot of bones."

Take out the bone fragment from the package, and cast the spell again to fill your stomach with dark energy.

[Dark Energy Extraction]

The [Primary Bone Fragment] in his hand turned into black smoke and was inhaled by Wang Yue. This time the extraction of energy made him feel cool instead of cold.

"It's much better, it seems like my body is getting used to it."

He could finally understand why the necromancer always held the bone, because it would not starve.

It didn't take much time to extract the energy. When the upper limit of the physical strength bar was restored again, the exhaustion from the work just disappeared together.

"Does it mean that if I gnaw the bone slices directly with my mouth, the effect will be better?"

But with other people following behind him, and Sith guarding his shoulders, he didn't want to be misunderstood by the NPC because of his strange movements.

……

After pulling herself together, Wang Yue came to the northernmost wooden house. Unlike other closed wooden houses, this room is open.

Even before Wang Yue stepped forward to check, the people in the room had already come out.

[Dead Chef: The chef on the Breaker, who knows most of the ingredients in the world]

【grade:? ? 】

"The ingredients in the cabin are all damp, please come back tomorrow."

It's just what you say.

Although energy extraction can make Wang Yue no longer hungry, he also hopes to eat something, his stomach has not been in motion for a long time.

It's a pity that no matter how Wang Yue asked, the chef kept repeating the same words. Wang Yue probably had to prepare the ingredients by herself to eat.

"This cook doesn't have cooking tools, so he won't 'hands' cook me a meal, right?"

Wang Yue thought while walking, cooking with bare hands is clean and hygienic, and this kind of food is the specialty of a certain country.

He can't forget an overseas trip once, when he just got off the plane, he just bought handmade smoothies on the street and suffered from diarrhea for three days. When his stomach got better, his vacation was over.

"If this 'chef' also cooks with bare hands, I guess I will become a living dead if I eat it."

"Stupid boy, he is the best chef in the world, how could he let you eat him to death?"

Just as Wang Yue was talking to herself, Sith on her shoulder suddenly retorted.

"It turns out that you are still alive, which really surprised me."

Wang Yue smiled at Sith.

Looking at it now, the Sith who can deal with Wang Yue's various topics is no different from a human being.

In comparison, other NPCs are too rigid, completely reduced to puppets of codes, such products are just tools to serve players, and cannot bring them smiles.

"To use games to bring smiles to players, this is the goal I have been working hard for."

Just when Wang Yue was feeling emotional, he suddenly raised his head to look at the sky.

The full moon is still hanging at the same height, as if the night will never pass.

"Strange, is this world flat?"

The boatswain who followed behind him did not make a sound, acting as a bodyguard along the way.

When Wang Yue reached the border of the shelter, he finally saw the broken ruins in the distance.

[Teleportation node (unrepaired): build a channel leading to different worlds, nodes are coordinates]

"The teleportation point is actually hidden here. It's a pity that it is broken, but it will work normally as long as it is repaired."

There are various teleportation points in the game, as long as you consume the corresponding amount of [Time and Space Crystal], you can travel long distances, usually appearing in the main city or important strongholds.

Now the nodes in front of Wang Yue are just ruins covered with stones. He can see that these stones were originally part of some kind of altar, and some of the columns left around are still tens of meters high.

"The node in the shape of the altar should be a large teleportation point."

Wang Yue continued to explore, hoping that this node would be as he thought.

In the center of the ruins, only half of the original platform remained, and the circle of the platform was filled with stones, and the surrounding area was nothing but dirt.

"It will take a lot of work to clean up these stones. My skeleton tool man is really not easy."

At this time, the boatswain following Wang Yue suddenly raised the harpoon, and Wang Yue jumped aside in fright when she realized that he was attacking suddenly.

The sailor sprinted forward, and in Wang Yue's vision, a blue bubble icon appeared under the blood bar of [Dead Boatswain].

"Can monsters of Tier [-] use Tier [-] skills?"

Wang Yue saw that this was the third-level skill [Tidal Blessing], the effect was to temporarily add ice damage to the weapon, and slow down the target's speed after hitting it.

"Information, this skill was mastered before the target was weakened."

"Oh, it turned out to be the skill of the living dead."

Xiao Nuo, the game system, just ran out to add explanations, making Wang Yue, who was watching the battle, focus all his attention on the battle.

At this moment, blue bubbles emerged from the ground, and the bubbles surrounded the broken harpoon in the boatswain's hand. The only sharp blade was covered with faint blue light.

Looking at the bosun's enemy again, Wang Yue snorted softly.

"Just a bunch of ugly brats."

[Fire Evil: An lemur with a fire attribute, likes to hide in the shadows and attack]

【Level: 9】

Orange lemures emerged from the shadows of the ruins, and each lemure could only reach Wang Yue's knees. They looked very weak.

Goblin-type monsters like to gather in groups. Although their attributes are half of monsters of the same level, three of them at the same time will make it difficult for any player to deal with.

"Brother Sailor, do you need help?"

Wang Yue pretended to help, but in fact he deliberately followed behind the bosun, because monsters would attack the nearest target first.

Sure enough, the boatswain sprinting forward triggered the attack.

The three lemurs cast spells at the same time, raising the three-fingered lemur claws, and the orange light gathered.

[Warning: Flame Arrow]

"The weak point of the demon is low blood volume. Let the big brother attract the firepower first, and then I will go up and collect the heads."

Just when Wang Yue was secretly delighted, [Flame Arrow] was already flying towards him.

"What? Why hit the handsome one first?"

Wang Yue felt that the temperature was rising. He was holding the bone spur to get close just now, but now the enemy's spell was coming.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Yue immediately chose to run back. Although he had to bear the first wave of damage, he would be safe after the second wave opened the distance.

"Come on, brother, you are a level 10 powerhouse."

Just as the flames were about to pounce on Wang Yue's back, the boatswain also felt the enemy's spell.

He held out the harpoon with both hands, and the water vapor from the tip was spit out by the harpoon, forming a water vapor barrier in front of the sailor, stopping all the [Flame Arrows].

[Damage received: 0 (absorption)]

"I just said you can do it, and I have always believed in you."

Finding that the opponent's spell hadn't taken effect, Wang Yue immediately turned around and turned back.

After the lemurs released the first wave of spells, the three of them hopped around together, and their six little hands clasped together, preparing to cast new spells together.

"Hack them, don't let them cast their magic successfully."

Wang Yue cursed and pointed at the lemur, and the boatswain sprinted to attack again.

For his own safety, Wang Yue first shifted horizontally. He picked up the gravel on the ground and threw stones while running.

【Damage caused: 1】

After all, necromancers do not have throwing skills and can only cause a mandatory minimum damage of 1 point.

However, as long as it causes damage, it can interfere with the mage's singing. This is the only way for Wang Yue to delay the spell.

"The speed of the living dead is indeed a disadvantage."

Even after Wang Yue's interference, the lemure's spell was still completed, and the six-pointed star circle appeared at the feet of the three lemures, but the red light was only faintly visible.

Even if the disturbed magic has been completed, the effect will be greatly reduced.

"Don't cast spells that fail badly, shame on you."

Seeing that the sailors who restrained themselves were approaching, the lemurs could only forcibly cast their spells.

[Warning: Flame Array]

The ghouls called out "Fire Circle" in unison, and the six-pointed star disappeared from under their feet, and then immediately enlarged and expanded to the entire [Transportation Node] area.

Red light covered the entire battlefield, and after casting the spell, the lemur raised its claws and threw itself at the sailor.

"Although it is barely completed Tier [-] magic, its power should not be underestimated."

Fire balls appeared out of thin air around them, and after the fire balls appeared, they began to float randomly. The fire balls were not flying fast, and Wang Yue only needed to be careful enough to avoid them.

But the boatswain doesn't need to be so careful, with [Tide Barrier] by his side, the surrounding fireballs can't hurt him.

Instead, he needs to quickly close the distance and magnify his melee advantage.

"It looks familiar equipment. Maybe this harpoon was once an epic quality weapon."

After meeting the evil spirits, the first-ranked sailor used the broken fork flexibly.

The sailor turned the fork tail to whip the lemure's body, and cut the lemure's skin with a fork knife at the slightest opportunity. He kept a suitable distance, and blocked the killing of three lemures at the same time by the length of the weapon.

"Master."

Seeing this, Wang Yue was filled with envy. Even without his help, this sailor could slowly grind to death the three lemurs.

"The blood volume is very tempting now, it's time to take the head."

He saw the timing and rushed to the lemur, pushing the bone spur into the monster's body forcefully.

On the evil mango-sized head, Wang Yue thumped hard on the handle of the bone spur.

[Inflict damage (weakness): 10]

The lemur, which was already bleeding, was finally pierced through by [bone spurs]. Wang Yue picked up the small monster, and then threw it away with all his strength.

The blood bar disappeared, and the lemur was pronounced dead.

On the other side, the sailor, who lost one lemur, turned from defense to offense, and quickly stabbed the two lemurs to death with a harpoon.

With the death of the caster, the magic circle in the battlefield also lost its light, and all the fireballs that had been formed were extinguished in the air.

　For thieves, the most annoying monsters are imps.
