Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

After the location of the base was determined.

Led by Laifu, fifty military robots quickly went into operation.

Although Cheng Zhuo mostly bought prefabricated materials, the robots mainly did the assembly work.

However, it involves some miscellaneous tasks such as digging holes and setting up soft furnishings.

According to Lai Fu's calculations.

Even with fifty military robots working day and night, the construction of the entire luxurious fortress still took about a week.

Of course, this speed is already very fast.

It far exceeded Cheng Zhuo's expectations.

The next day.

Cheng Zhuo took some time to go home and visit his younger siblings.

The streets of the outer city remained the same.

A rusty iron fence surrounded a drab building, and solar streetlights flickered with a dim yellow light. Several children chased each other at the alley entrance, clutching cheap monster models in their hands. Their laughter mingled with the distant roar of factory machines, inexplicably evoking a sense of familiarity in Cheng Zhuo.

It had only been ten days since Cheng Zhuo last left home, but it felt like a lifetime had passed.

Who would have thought.

About twenty days ago, he was still debating whether or not to become a rat catcher.

……

I walked up to the familiar iron gate.

With a "click," the door was pushed open.

Cheng Zhuo bumped into Cheng Qingshan, who was opening a beer. Upon seeing Cheng Zhuo, Cheng Qingshan's thunderous voice rang out:

"You brat! You finally decided to come back? Where have you been for the past two weeks! I couldn't get through on the phone, and you didn't reply to my watch. Xiao Mo and Youyou have been asking me every day, 'When is Second Brother coming back?' I'm so annoyed by them!"

"Second Brother is back!"

Upon hearing Cheng Qingshan's roar, his four younger siblings from another room all rushed out.

When Cheng Mo saw him, her eyes were practically overflowing with admiration:

"Second Brother, do you really have three S-level Origin Points now?!"

Cheng Zhuo had just nodded when Cheng Qingshan snapped at him impatiently:

"What's the use of eight S's? They don't even know how to make a phone call home."

"I'm back now," Cheng Zhuo said, frowning.

"snort."

Cheng Qingshan snorted coldly and then shouted:

"I heard your contract is in Redstone Town. Why did you choose that godforsaken place? Change it back right now!"

"It's none of your business."

"Oh, so you've really grown up now, you don't even respect your father anymore, huh?"

"I just transferred ten million to you. Just take good care of your younger siblings and don't worry about me."

"Don't think you can just transfer a thousand to me... How much did you actually transfer?"

"Ten million."

"Ten million!?"

The empty wine bottle in Cheng Qingshan's hand fell to the cement floor with a "clatter," splattering wine stains everywhere.

He hurriedly checked his watch, "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands..."

He paused, then suddenly broke into a wide smile:

"You silly child, you didn't even tell me you were coming back. Your old man could have arranged for your Aunt Wang to prepare a nice meal. Honestly, you must have had a tough time hunting outside all this time..."

……

……

After arranging all the trivial matters.

Cheng Zhuo buried himself in the Three Star Ruins Realm and began his mindless hunting mode.

He did not become complacent because he had a powerful backer. He knew very well that his master and Huangfu Bai had mysterious origins and might be separated from him one day.

He must do his best to improve himself while his master is still by his side.

This way, if you encounter any problems or obstacles, you can find a master to guide you.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The appointed time with Huangfu Bai was fast approaching.

If he can complete the gravity body upgrade as agreed tomorrow, they will set off together for the Nanling Ruins.

That day, Cheng Zhuo returned to the RV early.

However, the main reason is—

He is only a little over a hundred points of resonance value away from the second level of the Undead Origin!

As night deepened.

The night breeze on the grassland made the canvas of the RV sway gently. The warm fragrance of their lovemaking still lingered inside. Ruan Qinghe's hair was draped in Cheng Zhuo's arm, and she was breathing evenly.

Cheng Zhuo finally heard the long-awaited notification tone:

"Ding—Second-tier Harmony Value target for Undead Origin has been achieved."

"Congratulations, host, your Undead Origin Card has advanced to Tier 2, unlocking a permanent Undead Summon: Necromancer Adrian."

"Original Skill - Undead Armament, activated."

"All attributes +50, Spirit +100"

"A necromancer? What an unexpected bonus."

Cheng Zhuo moved the reclining body beside him, put on his clothes, and stepped out of the RV.

The wind from the Void Realm carried a chill, instantly waking him up.

He focused his mind to sense the origin of the dead, and saw that a pitch-black domain had appeared in the previously empty primordial space—

That is a summoning space exclusively for the undead.

In the center of the space, a tall figure was wrapped in a black robe, with the hood pulled down very low, revealing only a section of the withered white jawline, like a sleeping stone statue.

"Come out," Cheng Zhuo silently murmured to himself.

The next instant, space distorted slightly.

The tall figure suddenly appeared two meters in front of him.

His pale, withered right hand gently rested on his chest, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"Great Lord of the Dead, the loyal and fearless Adrian pledges eternal allegiance to you. What are your commands?"

"They were actually intelligent undead."

Cheng Zhuo's gaze sharpened as he opened the data on this special undead summoner:

Necromancer Adrian

[Realm: Peak Fourth-Tier Lord - Upgradeable]

[Core Skills: Eye of Kilrogg, Hellfire, Plague, Summon Hellfire Lava Beast]

[Background: He was once the village chief of a border village. After his village was massacred by bandits, he sacrificed his soul to the abyss to avenge his family as a spirit. After annihilating his enemies, he fell into the abyss of the dead.]

"Adrian," Cheng Zhuo called softly.

"Whatever your command."

"Show your abilities."

Cheng Zhuo pointed to a spot not far away, where a group of three-faced strange beasts were wandering aimlessly.

"Yes, my master."

Adrian nodded slightly, his withered fingers gripping the skull staff at his waist, the necromantic crystal at the top of the staff suddenly glowing with a ghostly purple light.

He slowly raised his staff towards the night sky, and a hoarse incantation rolled from his throat:

"Kilrogg, grant me the true eye to see all things—"

next moment.

A strange purple light flashed.

The night sky seemed to be torn open by a crack, and a giant eye, bloodshot and a hundred meters long, slowly opened, its pupils churning with eerie green flames, making even the starlight appear somewhat dim.

Accompanied by the opening of the giant eyes.

A clear visual projection simultaneously appeared in front of the two of them.

All the strange beasts, even the smallest insects, had nowhere to hide and all lit up in the projection.

Cheng Zhuo raised an eyebrow. "Real aerial reconnaissance view, not bad."

Then, Adrian was heard muttering incoherently.

The flames at the tip of the skull staff suddenly surged, transforming into a fiery meteor that crashed into the night sky.

"Boom—"

With a deafening roar, countless stars began to fall from the sky!

No, those were giant rocks enveloped in crimson flames, each one carrying the force to tear everything apart, hurtling towards the ground with a roar.

The scene was immediately filled with wails.

Almost none of the strange beasts locked onto by the giant eye escaped unscathed.

After a while.

Cheng Zhuo suddenly felt the earth tremble.

A giant hand made of magma burst forth from the earth, followed by a lava body tens of meters tall slowly rising to its feet...
