My career has infinite upgrades.

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow. This crown was of the undead type; no wonder the undead space could sense it.

However, after looking at the price, he frowned slightly.

This Necromancer's Crown is priced at a whopping 500,000 energy crystals.

No one knows what effect this strange object will have after being infused with the power of the dead; it's like opening a blind box.

But opening a blind box with 500,000 energy crystals is just too expensive.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing decided to buy the strange item.

Undead artifacts are relatively rare, and given the unusual activity in the undead realm, Gu Qing still wanted to take a gamble.

Gu Qing called over the middle-aged man, packed up all the things, and directly took out the anonymous black card worth one million energy crystals.

The middle-aged man accepted the black card with a smile, issued Gu Qing a membership card for the Hailan Exchange, and then handed over all the items.

Gu Qing put everything into his spatial ring and then left.

After leaving the Hailan Exchange, Gu Qing did not go directly to the wilderness.

He's quite famous now, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Qing turned into a street corner, used an invisibility talisman, and then headed out of the city.

Meanwhile, Zhong Mengyun, who had been searching for Gu Qing without success, was about to go home when her phone suddenly vibrated.

When I took it out, I saw it was the transaction history of that black card.

The black card she used to save her life was indeed anonymous, but it was linked to her mobile phone.

Looking at the message on her phone, Zhong Mengyun's heart began to pound.

Although he had a suspicion that Gu Qing was the masked man, this was a good opportunity to prove it.

Zhong Mengyun quickly headed towards the Hailan Exchange.

As soon as I entered, a saleswoman greeted me with a smile: "Mengyun, what would you like to buy today?"

As the daughter of the richest man in Lin'an, she is a VIP at the Hailan Exchange.

Zhong Mengyun said directly, "Take me to Manager Zhao."

The saleswoman was taken aback. Manager Zhao was the person in charge of the Lin'an Hailan Exchange. She didn't expect Ms. Zhong to come directly to Manager Zhao.

Did Miss Zhong purchase some rare item through Manager Zhao?

The saleswoman didn't dare to think too much and quickly led Zhong Mengyun to Manager Zhao's office.

Manager Zhao, a middle-aged bald man, immediately fawned over Zhong Mengyun and ushered her inside.

"Miss Zhong, just send me a message if there's anything you'd like to buy, and I'll deliver it right to your door. There's no need for you to make a trip here."

Zhong Mengyun watched as the saleswoman closed the door and went straight to the point: "Check the surveillance footage and find out who made a purchase during this time period."

Zhong Mengyun took out her phone and held the transaction record up to Manager Zhao.

Manager Zhao looked troubled: "Ms. Zhong, this isn't a good idea. We have to be responsible for our customers' privacy."

Zhong Mengyun said directly, "My card was stolen, and I'm here to find someone. Manager Zhao, I remember my father has a purchase planned this year, right? What do you think about me having him make that purchase at Hailan?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Zhao said directly, "You are our valued VVVVVVVIP customer, so naturally we will help you find the thief who stole your card."

As he spoke, Manager Zhao used his privileges to quickly access the monitoring array within the Hailan Exchange.

A light screen appeared, and Manager Zhao quickly adjusted the time slot to Gu Qing's consumption period.

Zhong Mengyun's gaze quickly scanned the light screen and soon landed on a figure.

Gu Qing!

It really is Gu Qing!

A smile involuntarily crept onto Zhong Mengyun's face.

"Miss Zhong, would you like me to help you find this guy? Our Hailan Exchange sells intelligence, so finding a petty thief is a piece of cake."

Zhong Mengyun, who was just about to leave, had a slight change in expression when she heard Manager Zhao's words.

Then, she turned to Manager Zhao and said, "I'll give you a chance, but there's no need to arrest him. You just need to help me find his whereabouts."

......

At this time, Gu Qing had already left Lin'an and arrived in the suburbs.

As Gu Qing headed towards the level 20 monster area, he channeled necromantic power into the Necromancer's Crown.

"Buzz!"

The entire Necromancer's Crown trembled instantly, followed by a flash of light.

The Crown of the Dead (Fragmented)

[Rank: Rare Item]

[Effect 1: Domination Aura. All undead creatures of the wearer receive a passive 20% increase to all attributes.]

[Effect Two: Soul Absorption. The wearer's natural mental energy recovery speed is increased by 100%.]

[Note: This is a crown left behind by an ancient undead ruler. It is severely damaged and requires special materials to repair. After repair, it will reveal a new effect.]

Gu Qing was stunned when he saw the two new effects of the Necromancer's Crown.

Withdrawal!

The two effects of this strange object are simply outrageous.

The effect can directly increase all attributes of all undead creatures by 20%, significantly boosting combat power.

Moreover, with further career advancement, he might be able to control even more undead, resulting in a greater increase in combat power.

Even now, just one Desert Undead Dragon can significantly boost combat power.

The second effect is also very good, doubling the speed of mental energy recovery!

After acquiring the Netherworld Lord's Corpse Explosion, Gu Qing's demand for mental energy increased significantly, and the speed of mental energy recovery also increased, which greatly enhanced Gu Qing's combat power.

Gu Qing explored it for a moment and found that the Necromancer's Crown did not need to be worn; it could still function in the spatial ring.

Soon, Gu Qing arrived at the edge of the desolate canyon.

The monsters here are all around level 20, so Gu Qing immediately released the Desert Undead Dragon.

Cecilia and Melissan also appeared.

Finally, the hundred undead guards in the undead space were also released.

"Let's go! Let's start playing!"

Gu Qing led this undead team and charged straight in.

Soon, Gu Qing and his group encountered a pack of level 23 Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves.

There were a total of fifty of them.

The Desert Undead Dragon took the lead, instantly knocking away several Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves.

The undead guards followed closely behind, surrounding the remaining bloodthirsty wolves.

Cecilia also rushed forward, wielding her long whip, breaking the bones and tendons of the demon wolves wherever she went.

The undead guards also closed in, reaping the lives of these bloodthirsty demon wolves.

My experience is increasing rapidly.

Gu Qing stopped hunting as night fell.

At this point, Gu Qing's level had reached 13.

The simplified experience of the Undead Ruler has also improved considerably.

Gu Qing thought about it and decided not to go back. After all, he was a prominent figure now, and if he went back and came out again tomorrow, he might be targeted.

Gu Qing found a cave and set up a tent.

After releasing some undead guards to stand watch at the cave entrance, Gu Qing went into the tent.

Cecilia and Melissant followed them inside without hesitation.

Gu Qing looked at the two women and felt a little scared.

"Master, I'm here to serve you today." Cecilia took Gu Qing's arm.

Not to be outdone, Melissant pressed herself against Gu Qing's other side: "Master, I've learned a new sound, I'll let you hear it properly later."

Gu Qing swallowed hard and said, "This is, after all, the wilderness, so..."

A sly glint flashed in Cecilia's eyes, and she said with a smile, "Isn't the outdoors more exciting?"

Before Gu Qing could speak, Cecilia tilted her head back and silenced him with a kiss.
