Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 9 Secondary Detection

This night is destined to be the nightmare night of [Necromancer Wood].

The tireless Goudan led the younger brother to cut down a circle of trees, which completely reduced the dangerous area on the map of [Corrupt Woodland].

[Necromancer Wood] As a tree type monster, it takes a very long time to refresh, so you don't have to worry about doing useless work until the next day.

"Safe world early."

Wang Yue stretched after waking up, and accidentally tore down most of the bark tent.

"Young people are so energetic."

Sith rolled over from outside the tent. He looked at Wang Yue who had climbed up from the ruins, his tone full of gloating.

"Hey, why is it still night?"

After spitting out the wood dregs in her mouth, Wang Yue opened her eyes and saw the night sky again.

His body told him that he may have slept for 8 hours, but the sky was still as dark as ever, which meant that the map of [Corruption Woodland] was just an independent space, not a part of the world map.

"Boy, you have to use your brain. Only outside the castle can there be day and night. The sky inside the room is fake."

Wang Yue suddenly realized that he only now remembered that he just broke into a room in the old castle and did not belong to the real world.

"Has the map changed? Why is it so bare outside?"

[Corruption Woodland] Only wooden piles are left in the outer circle, all of which are the masterpieces of the dog and egg duo.

After defeating [Necromancer Wood], the wood that should have been left as a trophy was originally left, but because the trophy has not been picked up for a long time, the item will automatically disappear and return to the earth after a period of time, so Wang Yue can only see a group of bare tree stumps.

"Your summons cut down the trees all night, and I guess they have cleaned up the surrounding dead wood."

Wang Yue patted her head, he really forgot about it.

"Goudan, bring your men back."

The contract summons can accept orders from its master anywhere, even if Goudan is busy cutting trees deep in the woods, it can immediately hear Wang Yue's voice.

After receiving the order, Goudan ran back with the [Elementary Skeleton] in one hand.

After a night of solitary practice, Goudan's steps were no longer stiff, his attacks became more and more handy, and his movement speed was no different from that of ordinary monsters.

"Eh? I've been promoted to a level."

Looking at the brand-new level 5 in the upper left corner, and looking at the bare wooden stakes, Wang Yue seems to have discovered the reason for the upgrade.

"Xiao Nuo, call up the experience record."

The interface pops up a lot of tips for gaining experience. Every time a tree is cut down by Goudan, there will be a prompt of [experience gained: 10] pops up.

"Upgrading from level 4 to level 5 requires 1600 experience points, that is, 160 necromancy trees are buried in Goudan's hands."

Thinking that her entourage chopped off 160 trees with both hands, no matter how black-hearted a necromancer would be, Wang Yue felt gratified for Goudan's growth.

"When the skeleton grows up, it can take the initiative to help me harvest experience."

Seeing Goudan running towards her, Wang Yue began to recite the first magic spell of the new day.

"Undead call."

After upgrading to level 5, the consumption of [Elementary Bone Shards] changed from five to ten, and this summon once again cost all of Wang Yue's mana.

The new [Elementary Skeleton] has undergone significant changes. Its height has grown from 1 meter to 1.5 meters. Although the bones are still thin and white, the hands and feet are the same as humans.

"The attack power is 3, and the life value is 20. It can almost beat a level 3 monster."

The overall strength of the new skeleton has become much stronger, but it is still not as good as the contracted summon.

Now Goudan brought its little brother to Wang Yue's side, he put the little brother down, and then stared at the skeleton Wang Yuexin summoned, as if he was on guard.

"Interesting, I didn't expect the summoned thing to be so intelligent."

Wang Yue ordered the new skeleton to follow Goudan, and then let Goudan continue to cut trees in front of him to open the way.

"Remember that the division of labor must be clear. As the boss, you have to cut down the trees in front, and let your younger brother send the cut trees to me. These materials will be of great use in the future."

The self-made tent last night was very successful, which made Wang Yue understand that the degree of freedom in the game world is more than that. If he is given enough materials, he feels that he might be able to make a wooden Gundam himself.

After Goudan understood the order, he ran to the depths of the woods with his two little brothers in his hands, continuing to open up a path for their master.

"A great move. Boy, if you were in the kingdom, those nobles would definitely like you very much."

Skull witnessed everything from the sidelines. Although he didn't appreciate Wang Yue's approach, it was undoubtedly the fastest way to reach the [Refuge], and it was very safe.

"You are here today to practice dark energy extraction skills, I have something to leave temporarily."

Wang Yue nodded, watching the skull roll back into the mist.

"What a guy with a short memory, isn't he afraid of another accident?"

He was already convinced that the giant that appeared in the mist must be related to Sith, but he could not interfere with a battle with that kind of strength, and it might be a waste of life if he forced his way in.

"Xiao Nuo, when will the second internal test start?"

"It is expected to be carried out in an hour."

There is nothing to do while waiting for the road to open, Wang Yue can just accompany Fat Cat for the second internal test, and listen to the suggestions of this group of internal players by the way.

"Fatmao said that they are going to test the task of the northern Xinshou Village this time. If the task is too simple, the final evaluation will be greatly reduced."

Wang Yue thought for a while, since the value cannot be modified directly, the difficulty of the monster's challenge can only be enhanced in disguise.

"These guys are all masters. Let the monsters get together and refresh multiple patrol monsters at the same time. That's all my advice. The rest is left to you to play freely."

"After receiving the news, make adjustments immediately."

Wang Yue stretched out his arm and began to extract the dark energy, and his mana began to recover at an accelerated rate. While waiting, he looked at the empty player list.

……

An hour later, Penguin's testing department was full of people.

"Why is there only 6 places for this test?"

"That's right, the other party is not generous when they want to release the game. Could it be that the server is too small to support only 6 players?"

"This is the work of the producer Wang Yue. He has always been such a picky character."

"I see."

Dozens of testers surrounded the three internal testers of the company, which was in stark contrast to the deserted three machines on the opposite side.

"You're squeezing me. If you want to see it, just step on a chair and watch it."

"I watched the video I sent last time, how can I say this time I also have to see what the first perspective is like."

"Stop talking nonsense, if you want to see it comfortably, go to the opposite side."

"Shh, how can you say such a thing."

Under the kind reminder of his colleagues, the man who "go to the other side" shut his mouth and quietly continued to squeeze in front of the three monitors here.

These three monitors will show the first perspective of the test player, which is convenient for more employees to view.

"It's almost time, let's get started."

In another room, six holographic devices are at the ready.

After Dolly spoke, the six test players put on the headsets, the software started to run, and the first-person view images appeared on the monitors simultaneously, and they were connected to mobile devices at the same time, which was convenient for onlookers to record and comment.

"The picture quality of the game is absolutely amazing. This kind of game is worthy of a 4090 graphics card."

"I think the movement is very smooth, and the interface is also very clean. It should be the effect after optimized rendering."

While discussing, everyone wrote down the advantages and disadvantages they saw.

The six immersed in the game will not be disturbed, they enjoy the music in the game, and start an immersive adventure.

……

The fat cat in the white cloak ran towards the grove as soon as she got online. Now she is no longer the cowardly chicken she was at the beginning. She is equipped with a level 3 suppressing force so that she can stab a rabbit to death with two knives.

"It's too slow. I managed to upgrade to level 3, and the attack power increased to 3 points. It's all because of this broken dagger. It's time to change to a weapon."

Killing dozens of Level 1 [Woodland Hare] in the blink of an eye, Fat Cat is no longer satisfied, she needs stronger enemies.

[Received the video connection request from Wang Yue, do you accept it? 】

"Why is he always procrastinating. Accept."

After modifying the voice control, Fat Cat no longer needs to click the button to operate by voice.

The familiar little devil reappeared, and Wang Yue greeted Fat Cat first.

"Long time no see, your cloak is very beautiful."

"That's not right, and I don't want to see who wears it."

Fat Cat turned around and showed off his cloak, very proud of it.

Just about to ask Wang Yue to praise her more, she remembered that her dagger had to be replaced with a new one.

"Change the dagger? It just so happens that Novice Village has a mission, and the reward is to give a weapon with higher damage."

After Wang Yue finished speaking, she was about to take the fat cat back to the church, but the fat cat stood there without moving, her fingers were dancing around, and the expression on her face was very tangled.

"Is there a way to do it like last time, just the two of us..."

Seeing Fat Cat's hesitant appearance, Wang Yue immediately understood that Fat Cat must not want to bump into her sister.

"Don't worry, I will find someone to distract Dolly."

Fat Cat curled his lips, put his hands back to his sides, and accepted Wang Yue's kindness.

"Then listen to you, as long as I don't meet that woman."

"clear."

At the end of the last test, Wang Yue found that the six people tested were all acquaintances, and the tester Lao Zhou had a good relationship with him. If he asked him for help, he would definitely succeed.

"Wait a minute, I'll send a message to Lao Zhou."

"Who is Lao Zhou?"

"It's the middle-aged man you had a meeting with last time. He's a warrior, the one with a big ax on his shoulder."

"I don't know, I don't have any impression of the public face."

Taking advantage of the time when Wang Yue sent the message, Fat Cat squatted on the ground and carved words with a dagger.

"Wang Yue is a dead straight man, Wang Yue is a dead straight man..."

The engraved words will disappear after a while, and it just becomes a tool for Fat Cat to vent.

"Lao Zhou, you must help me with this..."

After sending the message, the little devil floated to Fat Cat to signal her to start action. She stood up reluctantly and wiped the writing on the ground with her feet.

"Did you write something on the ground?"

"I didn't write anything, you read it wrong."

Wang Yue continued to lead the way with suspicion, and happened to see a man and a woman walking towards them on the way back.

"Xiaoqing, Gao Mu."

Fat Cat called out the names of the two. Their identities in the company were female testers and the young master of one of the shareholders, and this young master happened to be Dolly's fiance.

Xiaoqing was playing the role of the narrator, while Gao Mu walked aside coldly, just echoing a few words.

Seeing that the fat cat greeted him, Xiaoqing waved his hand and responded enthusiastically, Gao Mu just nodded in reply, and the three of them didn't stop to greet each other, just passing by like this.

"I seem to smell gossip."

Looking at a man and a woman who are far away, Wang Yue has already built a stage play of bloody love in her heart.

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiaoqing is just working hard."

Wang Yue responded with a hey hey, of course he was only joking.

There is no relationship behind Xiaoqing. As a woman, it is not easy for her to engage in game testing work. She relies on her meticulous work attitude, and after years of hard work, she became the testing leader in the company.

"I don't know if you noticed, but there are already a lot of NPCs in the church."

"I saw it, but I didn't see the prompt for the task."

Outside the church, a heavily armed soldier stands on a hill, with a round wooden shield on his back and an iron sword tied around his waist.

[Woodland Guard Captain Cole: As the main guard of the Woodland Church, he has taken too many responsibilities on his back]

【Level: 20】

The health bar of the captain of the guard is green, which means that he belongs to a friendly NPC. Even if this type of NPC exceeds the player's level 5, it will display the level to show the player their strength.

Although the player cannot attack or be attacked when facing friendly NPCs, if the player harasses too frequently, he will be warned, and if he refuses to correct it, he will be attacked directly.

"Go to talk to him, only the dialogue can start the mission."

Under Wang Yue's guidance, Fat Cat climbed up the hill to talk to Cole.

"Greetings, Church of the Woodlands."

With [Woodland Cloak] on his body, Cole's address to Fat Cat is no longer indifferent "Hello player".

"To prove that you are strong enough, please clean up the wild rabbits in the forest and bring me the fur as proof."

[Mission Objective: Old Rabbit Hair (0/8)]

[Mission Reward: Rabbit Fur Gloves]

As soon as she took over the task, Fat Cat took out 8 pieces of rabbit fur from the package, and she handed in the props under Cole's suspicious gaze.

"Thank you so that the children in church will not be afraid of the cold nights."

In just three seconds, the worthless rabbit fur turned into a pair of brown gloves.

[Rabbit fur gloves: You can feel the warmth of the hare when you wear them. Effect: Defense +1]

"The gloves are a bit thick, which may affect my use of a knife, so don't use them."

Fat Cat put on the glove and tried it, but it was not easy to use, so he put the glove back in the package.

As she continued the conversation, Cole turned sad and asked Fat Cat for help.

"We are approaching Harvest Festival, but there are not enough people in the church. I hope the honorable believers can help me recover food from the cornfield."

This is a series of quests, and completing one will start the next.

Fat Cat nodded and promised that Cole would help.

[Mission Objective: Woodland Corn (0/8)]

[Task Reward: Sweet Corn]

"Please be careful of the pests in the cornfield, and I wish you the best of luck."

Before Fat Cat left, the captain of the guard also gave a thoughtful warning.

"This is the preferential treatment for believers. The attitude is simply not too good."

Wang Yue, who was watching from the sidelines, was sour. She didn't expect that she could get this kind of treatment with just a cloak. This is a benefit that no amount of money can exchange for.

"Envy me, this lady bought it with her life."

The two were joking as they walked towards the cornfield.

The cornfield was on the other side of the church, and the ground nearby was dry and yellow because there were no trees for shade.

"It's really unlucky, I still met."

Fat Cat saw sparks splashing from a distance, and Dolly's long black hair stood out in the golden cornfield.

"Shall we change the mission?"

Wang Yue looked at Fat Cat, then at Dolly in the distance, and suggested so in order not to make the situation embarrassing again.

"There are still tasks to do in the depths of the forest, if you don't want to, we can..."

Before Fat Cat could respond, the assassin drew out his dagger and sprinted towards the cornfield.

"Hey, women are really difficult to understand."

The poor little devil can only follow the fat cat and get involved in the complicated sisterhood again.

　Now I don’t go to Internet cafes anymore. When I used to play games, there would be a bunch of strangers crowded together. The atmosphere was good back then.
