I am a necromancer, and I absolutely love America.

"Harry Prince, 1.9 meters tall, 95 kg, an accountant, died of organ transplant rejection."

"Knowledge of Flesh and Bones: 7% -> 12%"

So many! Richard pondered silently, why?

......

"Harved Reed, 1.83 meters tall... died of a stroke following alcoholism. His blood contained large amounts of alcohol, and there were multiple drug residues in his body."

"Unable to acquire any knowledge."

As Richard analyzed more and more corpses, he finally discovered a pattern: if the same cause of death occurred repeatedly, the knowledge gained would decrease rapidly and eventually reach zero.

For example, a stroke caused by alcoholism occurred three times here; the third time, the student would be unable to acquire knowledge.

Special causes of death can lead to more knowledge, such as organ transplant rejection, which can provide 5 points of knowledge at once.

It seems that one cannot accumulate knowledge indefinitely by farming corpses.

For now, I can go out and collect corpses with Alex, but if I do it long-term, I'll eventually analyze all the common causes of death on the streets, and my earnings will quickly drop to zero.

We still need to find a way to infiltrate Nancy Health Center, or a military virus testing base, or a research institution like a pharmaceutical company, in order to see more and more unusual corpses.

Richard pushed Harved's body into the cabinet and pulled out the cabinet next to it.

The body was that of a woman.

"Emily Shawn, height 169cm, weight..., occupation..., cause of death..., contained multiple pathogens including syphilis and HIV..."

"Knowledge of Flesh and Bones: 16% -> 18%"

A dozen minutes later, Richard analyzed all the bodies.

Not counting the three bodies that were just brought in, there are 19 bodies in the morgue today.

Four of the corpses were beyond the scope of any knowledge they could acquire; they were all victims of common drug overdoses, alcoholism, or strokes, and their bodies held little value for the perpetrators.

The progress of flesh and bones has now reached 29%.

"Ding! The 'Common Sense of Flesh and Blood' quest is complete. Reward: Knowledge of 'Flesh and Bones': 29% -> 109%; Lesser Magic Potion *1"

"Ding! The [Flesh and Bone] knowledge branch has been upgraded to level 2! Constitution +6."

Physical fitness has increased by another 3 points!

Richard felt a deep and calm power surging from the depths of his bones, as if a silent beast had suddenly awakened within him. Every inch of his bones trembled slightly, and every muscle fiber tightened and solidified. The fatigue from running around all night was swept away!

His breathing became longer and longer, his hearing, sight, and touch were sharpened, the cold air brushed against his skin, the tiny text on the corner device, and all the movements around him were within his perception range.

I need to find a place to get my body data tested.

"Ding! Unlocked Level 2 skill of the [Flesh and Bone] branch: [Touch of Pain]!"

New skill!

Richard opened the panel.

******

A painful touch?

This is Richard's first offensive skill.

While it sounds a bit rubbish, requiring physical contact with the target to inflict pain is rather overkill in a gun-saturated lighthouse.

In any case, this is a huge improvement.

A crystal bottle the size of a little finger appeared in Richard's hand.

It is shaped like a water droplet, crystal clear, and the medicine inside the bottle emits a faint blue light.

"Lesser Magic Potion: After drinking, restores 1 point of magic per minute for 60 minutes."

In other words, it can restore 60 points of magic power?

I only have 22 points of magic power in total, and if I use it now, most of it will be wasted.

Richard suppressed the urge to drink it immediately.

Richard restored all the bodies in the morgue to their original state, making sure no trace was left before leaving satisfied.

Today was incredibly fruitful!

Brown's duty room was right next door; it was small, and his books and study notes were on the table.

Richard checked his phone: 02:37 AM.

Richard lay down on the recliner and closed his eyes to rest.

If he weren't covering for Brown, he would have loved to go to the gym right now to test his strength limits.

The work in the morgue is indeed very leisurely.

Richard slept until 5:30 a.m., when it was just getting light, and no one disturbed him.

Brown returned, his eyes filled with deep despair, and blood still stained the corner of his mouth, as if he had been in a fight.

"How is your brother?" Richard asked.

"He..." Brown covered his face, his voice hoarse:

"He stole my mom's TV to sell for money to buy enhancement drugs. I fought with him, but I couldn't stop him."

"This is really bad," Richard said with feigned sympathy, but inwardly he was unmoved.

To any student at Dongda University, drug addicts can no longer be considered normal people.

Little John is just stealing his mother's TV to make money, it's not a big deal yet.

When he gets addicted to drugs, it would be common for him to force his own mother to sell herself.

However, Richard didn't say anything more.

The two had only met twice, and it was too intimate for them to talk about anything more.

Brown rubbed his face, trying to cheer himself up:

"Brother! Thanks for covering my shift, I owe you one!"

"I didn't do anything, I just slept here." Richard patted Brown on the shoulder:

"Why don't you go back to sleep? Everything will be alright by dawn."

Brown mustered his spirits:

"No, Karim usually comes to patrol at 6:30, I can't let him find out."

"OK! I'm off then! Everything will be alright."

Brown waved his hand, then slumped down in his chair, silent.

Richard has left.

Before he came to the United States, like most Chinese people, he believed that the United States was an ideal country that everyone longed for, the pinnacle of the world.

I only realized it after I arrived... haha.

However, Richard was not a saint, and he had no motivation to change the country.

Every nation has its own challenges to overcome.

Moreover, for necromancers, the fact that corpses can be found everywhere is a unique advantage of this system.

Even if in the future, when the corpses on the street can no longer provide him with enough knowledge, he can still spend money to acquire special corpses.

The entire process was legal and compliant. For a necromancer, wasn't this an ideal world?

Richard recalled the terms from history books.

The Treaty of Wangxia, the Opium War, the Eight-Nation Alliance, extraterritoriality...

Let this country rot away, to fuel my immortality.

As for the people of this country... I'm sorry.

You have all enjoyed the fruits of this country's evil deeds; you can't say it has nothing to do with you, can you?

People cannot only talk about fairness and justice when they themselves are in a favorable position.

Now, I'm here.

It's time to pay off the Empress Dowager's debts.

Richard walked calmly into the dim morning mist.
