Game Invasion: Awakening the Necromancer at the Start

9200 gold coins! That's equivalent to half a year's income for a medium-sized guild!

"How can there be so much?" Su Wan was also surprised. He had estimated the monthly profit to be around 3000.

Luo Hao explained with great enthusiasm: "Queen Avril improved the process formula, using natural magic to catalyze plant growth, reducing raw material costs by 60%."

Moreover, several chambers of commerce in the provincial capital have taken a liking to the "natural blessing" effect of the Elf Handicrafts and placed large orders...

He pulled out an account book: "The detailed income and expenditure are here. After deducting the 30% share to be given to the elves..."

The guild actually received 6440 gold coins. Adding the profits from daily retail sales, the guild's total funds for this month...

He paused, then stated a number:

"7823 gold coins".

silence.

Then Ye Hongyu slammed her hand on the table: "I'm rich!"

Lin Qingyue smiled as well. Su Li jumped up and hugged her brother, exclaiming, "Brother, you're so amazing!"

Chu Yanran looked completely bewildered.

She had no concept of gold coins, but seeing everyone so happy, it must be... a lot of money, right?

Su Wan was the first to calm down: "This money can't be spent recklessly."

"We need a lot of supplies during the league: medicine, reels, equipment maintenance, intelligence fees... Luo Hao, make a budget."

"It's already being done." Luo Hao pushed up his glasses.

"In addition, Chairman Zhao privately revealed that if we can make it into the top four, the provincial capital will allocate a piece of land to us to build a branch of the guild."

Land! In this provincial capital where land is incredibly valuable, its worth is immeasurable.

"It seems we have to achieve good results in this league," Su Wan said, looking at her teammates.

"It's not just for the prize money, but for the future of the Eternal Temple."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, Chu Yanran found Su Wan and whispered, "Will the competition prize money... really be distributed among the team members?"

Su Wan smiled: "Of course. The champion gets 5000 gold coins, which will be split among the five people, 1000 each."

"1000 gold coins..." Chu Yanran murmured repeatedly.

She remembered the swords she'd seen on the black market priced at hundreds of gold coins, and her eyes slowly lit up. "That...that could buy a lot of swords?"

"That's enough to buy a sword shop." Su Wan patted her shoulder.

"So train hard. For your sword shop."

Chu Yanran nodded vigorously, a fighting spirit igniting in her eyes for the first time.

That evening, as Su Wan was making up her training plan in her room, Zero's projection appeared on the table.

"Host, there is something I need to report."

"explain."

"Chu Yanran's identity has been processed." Zero retrieved a virtual file.

"Chu Yanran, 18 years old, a native of Jiangcheng, orphaned at a young age, studied with a reclusive sword cultivator in the deep mountains... This is the background story."

The job registration information is "Swordsman (Rare Mutation)", level 25.

"Well done." Su Wan nodded. "Anything else?"

"While processing my documents, I discovered someone was searching the system for information on professionals with the surname 'Chu'." Zero's mechanical eyes flickered.

"The user has very high privileges, so I can't trace the source. But the timing... it was this afternoon."

Su Wan's eyes narrowed.

The Eye of the Abyss? Or some other force?

"Strengthen monitoring," he said in a deep voice. "We can't afford any mishaps before the league starts."

"clear."

The projection of zero disappears.

The provincial league a month from now will be the first battle for Eternal Temple to officially step onto the stage.

We can only win, we can't afford to lose.

The scene inside the air-raid shelter is completely different from what it was ten days ago.

Three hundred skeletons worked day and night under Zero's command. They were tireless and far more efficient than human workers, even more so than the black slaves of yesteryear.

Su Wan stood in the center of the newly cleared main hall, the floor smooth with cement beneath her feet. Zero's projection hovered to the side, displaying the 3D design drawings.

"According to the plan, the entire air-raid shelter is divided into four levels, with a total area of ​​5.2 square meters. Currently, the first level is 100% cleared."

On the screen, the first layer of the structure diagram lit up in green. The areas were clearly divided.

[Residential Area] - Can accommodate 500 undead units. It is designed as a collective barracks structure with stacked skeleton beds and a soulfire charging pool in the center.

[Production Area] - Necromancer's Workshop, Enchantment Room, Potion Laboratory.

【Research Area】- Ancient Spell Research Table, Undead Evolution Experiment Pod, Energy Analyzer.

[Core Area] - The reserved location for the monarch's throne, surrounded by multiple energy nodes.

Avril walked out from the depths of the passage, her skirt spotless.

Twenty elven artisans followed behind her, each carrying a magic bag full of materials.

"The earth's ley line energy survey is complete." Avril tapped her finger, and an energy flow map unfolded in the air.

"Three hundred meters below this location, there is a small tributary of the earth vein."

While not as powerful as the ancestral Kunlun Mountains, it is sufficient to support the basic operations of the city.

Su Wan looked at the location she had marked, which was the core area of ​​the design drawing.

"Let's begin setting up the energy nodes."

Avril nodded, her hands forming a hand seal. Natural magic and necromantic energy began to merge in a rare manner.

"Su Wan, use the Hades Staff to inscribe the Monarch Rune."

Su stepped forward and grasped the staff. The tip of the staff touched the center of the groove. He closed his eyes and channeled his spiritual energy into the ground through the staff.

When he opened his eyes again, the groove was filled with intricate black patterns.

[Energy node successfully established]

Current charge: 1%/100% (estimated full charge in 72 hours)

[Effect after charging: Within the city's territory, all attributes of the host increase by 30%, and all attributes of summoned creatures increase by 50%]

"Next is the barrier," Zero said, taking over the task.

"Outer layer: Natural mist barrier." Avril infused it with natural energy.

"Middle layer: Necromantic awareness barrier." Su Wan infused necromantic energy.

"Inner layer: Bone barrier." Zero-controlling skeleton soldiers integrated the prepared bone materials into the structure.

When the triple barrier is activated simultaneously, the entire air-raid shelter vibrates slightly.

hum-

Invisible ripples spread out from the energy nodes, sweeping across every inch of space.

Su Wan could clearly feel that he had established some kind of connection with this underground city. It was as if... this place had become an extension of his body.

"Let's test it out." He had a sudden thought.

In a corner of the main hall, a skeleton that was carrying bones suddenly stopped and then rushed toward the target location at twice the speed it had been moving.

A faint black halo appeared on its skeleton, which was the amplification effect given by the barrier.

"It's a success." Su Wan smiled.

Just as everyone was preparing to celebrate, an accident occurred.

The energy fluctuations of the barrier shook a wall deep inside the air-raid shelter.

The entire wall collapsed inward, raising clouds of dust.

Zero's robotic eye scans immediately:

[Discover Hidden Space]

[Structure: A secret military chamber from the old era]

[Icons: Rebirth Project]

[Danger Level: Low (No vital signs)]

Su Wan waved to disperse the dust and went in first.

The secret room is not large, about fifty square meters.

The walls are made of thick alloy, and although they are severely rusted, the structure is intact.

The most striking feature is the three cryogenic chambers in the center of the sealed room. They are silver-white and covered with a thick layer of frost, but the indicator lights are still dimly lit.

"This is...technology from a hundred years ago?" Ye Hongyu followed in, looking at the old-fashioned dials in surprise.

Zero-scan cryogenic chamber: "Manufacturing time... 2025 AD".

Preservation status: Good. Three human corpses were found inside the chamber. Vital signs: None. However, cell activity...is abnormal.
