Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

It was already close to evening, and Lynn wouldn't be able to stay in the library for much longer, so he decided to get the Death Knight's equipment sorted out first.

Arriving at the apprentice market, they found Thomas setting up a stall in a corner of the market.

At this moment, he was facing a bone plate with a distressed expression, clearly having encountered a problem.

Two shadows obscured the faint light from the soul stones on the wall, causing Thomas's vision to darken and prompting him to look up.

One of them was the familiar Lynn, with a calm expression on her handsome face.

The other was an undead shrouded entirely in a black robe, its severely decaying face adorned with two eerie green soul flames.

"Thomas, here's a job! Help me equip my undead guards."

Lynn got straight to the point, slamming two magic stones down in front of Thomas.

"Oh... Good night, Lynn."

Thomas hurriedly got up, walked over to the Death Knight, examined him closely, and exclaimed in amazement.

"Wow...high-end stuff! It's only been a few days and you've already got a Death Knight!"

Although the Death Knights didn't meet Gregor's approval, they were still quite formidable among the wizard apprentices and were considered high-class.

It's much better than skeletons, ghosts, zombies, and Frankenstein's monsters; it's a true numerical monster.

If it can be paired with a suitable mount, its strength will be even greater.

Thomas took out a "measuring tape" made from the sinew of some unknown creature and carefully measured the Death Knight's arm span and various physical data.

Then, he pulled out a greatsword made of bone from the stall and pieced it together to assemble a simple set of bone armor.

"Our little stall doesn't have many suitable equipment, so this is the only thing we can put together. What do you think?"

Lynn inspected the gear and found that although it looked like something he'd picked up off the street, it offered excellent protection.

The bone greatsword had difficulty penetrating the bone armor, and the body was already protected in all the necessary places.

Equipping the Death Knight with a bone greatsword and simple bone armor suited him fairly well.

After the Death Knight donned the cobbled-together bone armor, his prestige immediately plummeted, making him look like a hybrid of a zombie and a bone beast.

Lynn nodded to Thomas, agreeing to the deal.

Thomas then accepted the two magic stones, thus declaring Lynn's complete bankruptcy.

Most of the equipment at this stall came from his teacher's leftovers; he was just selling them on behalf of his teacher, and he would have to hand over a large portion of it later.

After the transaction was completed, Thomas brought up his great research again, casually complaining about the problems with the "metal and undead fusion" project—energy circuit conflicts caused the undead core to overload and collapse.

As Lynn listened to his description, she glanced at the bone plate on the table, and the panel in her mind began to analyze and deduce.

Then, seemingly casually, he offered a suggestion:

"Why not try the 'negative energy insulating coating'? Create an isolation layer at the connection between the metal skeleton and the undead core, and slowly scorch and fuse them with the lowest power soul fire instead of forcibly injecting energy."

Thomas paused for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead, his eyes widening in surprise:

"Yeah! Insulation! Simmer it slowly! Why didn't I think of avoiding conflict instead of a head-on clash! Lynn, you're a fucking genius!"

His gaze toward Lynn changed instantly.

Lynn ignored his flattery and asked directly, "Do you know any quick ways to earn magic stones or contribution points?"

Lynn is now penniless, with only a pitiful nine contribution points left, not even enough to pay her "living expenses" for a week later.

We need to find a way to earn some money. Let's see if Thomas has any connections. Otherwise, Lynn is planning to copy some magic tricks and sell them.

Thomas thought for a moment, then pointed at Lynn and said:

"Since you're so smart, why don't you go to the mission lobby and take on tasks like 'troubleshooting' or 'model optimization'?"

"Although each mission only contributes a few points, maybe five or ten, it's much safer and easier than other combat-heavy missions!"

Lynn had a sudden inspiration; this was indeed an idea.

With its own analysis panel as a "plugin," it can provide answers to many difficult problems that others cannot understand.

Furthermore, the analysis panel can be optimized to maintain 100% accuracy!

This has potential!

However... the analysis function also relies on the knowledge collected in the [Memory Library] as a foundation.

If one's own knowledge base is not deep enough, can one really give guidance to others?

Even her mentor said that all her ideas were too "idealistic".

Especially since many apprentices have been immersed in various fields for many years, the problems they encounter are probably not so easy to solve.

Alright, let me enrich myself first, then I'll check out the mission hall.

For the next few days, Lynn practically lived on the first floor of the ossuary.

He used the panel's scanning function to frantically absorb all the general knowledge he could access—"An Overview of Basic Elemental Particles," "A Complete Guide to the Properties of Common Magical Materials," "Analysis of Low-Level Rune Configurations," "An Illustrated Guide to One Hundred Otherworldly Creatures"...

Regardless of whether it's useful to him or not, let's add it to the database first!

Massive amounts of information are recorded, analyzed, and archived, and integrated into his ever-growing knowledge base.

It wasn't until all the knowledge in the first layer was fully collected that the restrictions in the "paid area" of the first layer were only analyzed to 4%.

I don't know when the analysis will be completed.

Instead of analyzing the restrictions, I put two first-level sorcery spells on the analysis panel and optimized them along with the meditation spell.

Feeling that he was ready, Lynn left the ossuary and stepped into the bustling mission hall for the first time.

Upon entering the hall, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge bone slab placed in the center, with various tasks written on it in Common Language.

If you are interested in a particular task, you can use your identity badge to go to the corresponding task window to accept it, based on the task number.

In the mission hall, many apprentices were selecting missions, while many seasoned veterans were also lurking there.

They secured advantageous positions early on, and took on easy "daily" tasks as soon as they appeared, with the new students ignoring any attempts to compete with them.

Lynn carefully examined the huge bone plate, on which countless mission information scrolled.

"Clean up the carcass rats in the sewers (Reward: 1 Contribution Point)"

"Assist in exploring the outer reaches of the Rotten Abyss (Reward: 200 Contribution Points, Requirement: Third-Rank Apprentice or above)"

Feed the beasts in the "Wailing Beast Pen" (Reward: 30 Contribution Points)

Collect 10 Ghost Crystals (Reward: 20 Contribution Points)

Harvesting Moonlight Moss (Reward: 60 Contribution Points, Requirement: Second-Class Apprentice or above)

...

The contribution of a task is linked to its difficulty. Generally, tasks that require going out are very dangerous, but the contribution is also very high.

Things like cleaning sewers are generally not dangerous, so there's only one or two minor issues.

Once Lynn goes out, his danger level will be high, after all, super talent is an extremely rare "material".

Stay safely in the college and don't go out unless absolutely necessary!
