Game Invasion: Awakening the Necromancer at the Start

The hidden quest requires you to build a 100-man undead army within 72 hours; you're still 64 short.

"What are you thinking about, brother?" Su Li leaned closer, her breath almost brushing against Su Wan's ear.

"I'm thinking about how to level up quickly."

Su Li's eyes darkened slightly, but she quickly smiled again: "I can help you fight monsters, brother! My Holy Light skill deals extra damage to undead, but if it's a monster..."

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and her eyes lit up: "That's right! Director Chen said he'd give us a pass to the 'Dark Forest' dungeon. It's a level 5 dungeon, full of demonic creatures, and my Holy Light is perfect against them!"

Su Wan's heart stirred.

A level 5 dungeon... if you clear it, you should get a lot of experience.

More importantly, the dungeon is densely packed with monsters, making it ideal for a quick, overwhelming push with a horde of skeletons.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

---

The man who arrived was Chen Guodong's adjutant, a young military officer in his twenties named Lin Feng.

"Su Li, Su Wan," Lin Feng saluted and placed two silver metal boxes on the table. "These are the resources for the first phase."

The box was opened.

On the left is Su Li's: three skill books with gold covers, a set of light armor that glows white, a necklace inlaid with rubies, and ten dungeon passes of different colors.

On the right is Su Wan's: a dusty skill book, a cloth robe, a wooden staff, and... five lowest-level "Abandoned Mine" dungeon passes (levels 1-3).

The gap is obvious.

Lin Feng explained somewhat awkwardly, "Su Wan, according to regulations, the resource quota for F-level professionals is indeed limited... However, Director Chen specially applied for and gave you five extra passes."

The subtext is: This is already an exception.

Su Li's face darkened: "I'll trade my brother's resources for mine."

"This is against the regulations..." Lin Feng said, looking troubled.

"Then retreat them all," Su Li said coldly. "I've said it before, my brother and I will advance and retreat together."

Seeing the atmosphere freeze, Su Wan smiled.

"No need to change it." He picked up the gray skill book. "This one is fine."

[Skill Book: Bone Shield (Normal)]

[Effect: Consumes 30 mana to summon a bone shield to block damage. Durability = Spirit × 10]

A very ordinary defensive skill.

But what Su Wan valued was the formula "spirit x 10".

With 24 points of Spirit, his Bone Shield durability is 240 points—which is almost equivalent to the health of a warrior of the same level!

And... what if we let a skeleton use it?

With the 10x bonus, the bone shield's durability...2400 points?

A glint of light flashed in Su Wan's eyes.

"Brother?" Su Li asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing." Su Wan put away the skill book and looked at Lin Feng again. "Lieutenant Lin, I have a question."

"Please speak."

"Is it allowed to team up and carry others in the school's dungeon lobby?"

Lin Feng was taken aback: "It's allowed... but the experience distribution in the instance is calculated based on contribution. If the level difference is too large, the lower-level player may not get any experience."

"That's good." Su Wan smiled. "Sister, let's go."

"Where to?"

"Running dungeons."

Although Su Li was puzzled, she still obediently followed.

Lin Feng watched the two figures walk away, hesitated for a moment, and then followed them, since he had to report the situation to Director Chen.

---

At 7 p.m., the school's main hall was brightly lit.

Hundreds of students gathered here, some forming teams, some trading, creating a constant cacophony of noise.

"Level 3 warrior looking for a group to join in an abandoned mine! Good tanking ability!"

"Level 2 Frost Mage, with crowd control abilities, need a healer!"

"Buying high-quality white-grade weapons at a high price!"

The appearance of Su Wan and Su Li instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"It's Su Li! An SSS-level powerhouse!"

"Is that... that F-rank necromancer next to her?"

"What are they doing here? Running dungeons?"

Amid the murmurs, a figure blocked the siblings' path.

It's Zhao Ming.

He changed into a brand new robe, held a staff inlaid with a fire gem, and was accompanied by three followers—a shield warrior, a priest, and an assassin.

A standard four-person team.

"Hey, isn't this our 'The Country Needs Me' Mr.?" Zhao Ming said sarcastically. "What, bringing your sister along to freeload on a dungeon? Too bad, our A-rank team doesn't have time to bring a burden to a low-level dungeon like the Abandoned Mine."

He deliberately emphasized the word "Grade A," which drew gasps of surprise.

"Is Zhao Ming Grade A?"

"No wonder he's so arrogant..."

"But Su Li is an SSS-rank, how dare he speak like that?"

Hearing the comments, Zhao Ming felt even more smug.

He wanted to humiliate Su Wan in front of everyone; the humiliation he suffered at the training ground during the day had to be repaid tenfold!

Su Li's eyes turned cold, and she was about to speak when Su Wan stopped her.

"Move aside," Su Wan said calmly.

"What if I don't allow it?" Zhao Ming raised his chin defiantly. "Do you own the dungeon lobby?"

Su Wan was too lazy to waste words.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Thirty-six points of eerie blue flame suddenly lit up in the shadows of a corner of the hall.

Immediately afterwards, thirty-six pale skeletons emerged from the shadows, their bone knives dragging on the ground with a sickening scraping sound.

wow——

The crowd immediately stepped back, making way for an open space.

"Holy crap! So many skeletons?!"

"That's all there is at the training ground during the day..."

"How could an F-rank necromancer possibly control so many?!"

Zhao Ming's face paled, but he forced himself to remain calm: "Who are you trying to scare? Private duels are prohibited in the dungeon lobby! If you dare to lay a hand on someone, you'll be expelled from school immediately!"

"Who said we were going to make a move?" Su Wan looked at him strangely. "I just want to enter the dungeon."

Su Wan didn't look at him because this person was abnormal. Logically speaking, this guy should have stayed away after witnessing her strength, but instead, he was a weakling who kept chasing after the strong to show off and provoke them. It's better to stay away from this kind of person.

He bypassed Zhao Ming and went straight to the instance entrance administrator.

"Teacher, abandoned mine, single-player mode."

The administrator, a middle-aged female teacher wearing glasses, adjusted her glasses and said, "Student, although the Abandoned Mine is a level 1-3 dungeon, we recommend a five-person team. You're going alone..."

"Just one person," Su Wan insisted.

The female teacher glanced at the skeleton behind him, then at the "F-rank Necromancer" on the panel, and sighed: "Alright, you'll have to bear the consequences if anything goes wrong."

She handed over a pass.

Su Wan took it and walked towards the dungeon portal that was flashing with blue light.

"Brother!" Su Li caught up with him. "I'll go with you."

"No need." Su Wan ruffled her hair. "Wait here for me for ten minutes."

"But……"

"Believe me."

After Su Wan finished speaking, she stepped into the portal.

Thirty-six skeletons followed closely behind, surging into the light like a white torrent.

The hall was deathly silent.

then……

"Is he crazy? Going into a dungeon solo?"

"Still with over thirty skeletons... Can those skeletons hold their own against the monsters?"

"He'd probably be dead in a minute."

Zhao Ming scoffed, "He's overdoing the bragging! The monsters in the abandoned mine are all level 2-3. His skeletons look intimidating, but their actual stats... huh?"

He suddenly froze.

Because he remembered that the skeletons during the day had killed that elite demonized rat.

Elite mutated rats are level 3, while the mobs in the abandoned mines are level 2-3...

It seems like there's not much difference?

No! The dungeon is teeming with monsters; even the strongest thirty-six skeletons can't withstand the onslaught!

Zhao Ming tried to comfort himself, while taking out his phone to take a picture of Su Wan's disheveled exit and post it on the forum to mock her.

Time passed second by second.

One minute.

Two minutes.

three minutes……

The timer at the instance entrance displays: [In Progress].
