Chapter 178: A Big Harvest
While Gu Xi was contemplating this matter, another item was brought before him.
Compared to the ghost face skin he couldn't use for now, the item before him was something he could use.
This item was found from the Ghost Monk. It was a string of beads, much like a prayer bead bracelet. When Gu Xi received it, he was somewhat surprised.
[You have obtained White Bone Bracelet (Green)]
[White Bone Bracelet (Green, Ornament)]
[Attack: 1]
[Equipped: Intelligence +1]
[Equipment Requirement: Intelligence 2]
[Special: Soul Gathering, Summoning success rate +5.]
[Description: Summoning is the foundation of a Necromancer.]
Gu Xi was quite fond of this ornament. Though it was green, to him, it was no less than an artifact.
Without a second thought, he immediately put the White Bone Bracelet on his right hand.
Then, Gu Xi thought of summoning some spirits, but his undead troops had already started transporting corpses.
This left Gu Xi speechless. Initially, he thought his subordinates were slow, but now it seemed his own thoughts were changing too quickly.
Fortunately, these undead knew what Gu Xi needed. Several pieces of white baboon skin were brought over, although some were damaged, some were broken, but at least there was some gain.
Besides, any green-quality items would be prioritized and brought for Gu Xi to choose from.
This gave Gu Xi some comfort.
In the following time, Gu Xi received several good items.
Two of these items came from the giant Ghost Leader who was blasted by the Death Incarnation.
[You have obtained Broken Giant Wooden Stick (Green)]
[Broken Giant Wooden Stick (Green): A giant wooden stick with giant attributes, can be incorporated into weapon equipment to give the weapon giant attributes.]
[You have obtained Cabin Backpack (Green)]
[Cabin Backpack (Green): A backpack made from a forest cabin, containing ten black-faced sheep and five hundred pounds of blood oat grass. If placed at a designated location, it can set up a farmer's cabin in a city or forest.]
[Farmer's Cabin (Large): Uses 500 resources, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of wood to build a large farmer's cabin in a city.
Once built, it can train 60 farmers per week.
Once built, it can produce ten black-faced sheep per week.
Once built, it can produce five hundred pounds of blood oat grass or blood oats per week.]
[Farmer (0 level): Experience (0/50) Attack 1, Defense 1, Health 5, Skill: Tax Collection (each level pays 1 point of tax daily, can upgrade to militia after level 3).]
Gu Xi was quite speechless about these two items because they were brought over by several zombies.
The giant wooden stick was fine. Gu Xi tried it out, such a large wooden stick could be divided into many parts.
Not to mention, directly splitting it to make spear shafts could make up to five hundred spears. If the size was smaller, mass-producing weapons was not a problem.
What really surprised Gu Xi was the Cabin Backpack.
He didn't expect buildings in the city could be played this way.
A farmer's cabin.
Gu Xi had heard in school that if one occupied a farmer's cabin in the wild, it was like striking it rich.
Because the farmer's cabin could provide corresponding crops weekly, the most important thing was that farmers had low combat power, so the number generated weekly was relatively high.
Just relying on tax collection could earn a lot, not to mention that farmers were the best material for making skeletons.
One could say that using other troops to convert to skeletons was reducing strength, but using farmers to convert to skeletons was an increase in strength.
But the problem was Gu Xi's city was a City of the Dead.
This directly prevented Gu Xi from using the Cabin Backpack to build a farmer's cabin.
In his city, what could appear were either undead, or those who did not conflict with undead, or did not need much life and food.
If he were to raise a group of farmers in Aridowei City, they would starve to death soon.
Although dead farmers could be thrown into an evil temple or cathedral to be converted to skeletons, it was somewhat wasteful.
Seeing this item, Gu Xi suddenly thought of something his teacher mentioned during a class.
What to do if one occupied a wilderness training camp.
Could certain methods be used to convert this wilderness training camp to be usable by the undead?
At that time, Gu Xi listened attentively because, before becoming a Necromancer, he did not expect his luck to be this good.
Starting with a City of the Dead.
Gu Xi thought he would have to rely on occupying wilderness training camps for a long time to supplement and enrich his troop source.
So, he studied particularly hard.
And the teachers at the Necromancer Academy had some experience and taught real cases.
This made Gu Xi believe that even if he hadn't practiced it himself, he could handle it.
At this moment, Gu Xi had an idea, should he use the Ritual of Undead Calamity to convert the Cabin Backpack to have undead attributes?
This thought stirred Gu Xi's heart.
It was a good idea to try when the battle was about to end.
After all, the Ritual of Undead Calamity would be put away.
At that time, he could borrow some of the yin energy accumulated by the Ritual of Undead Calamity.
"Take this inside first, place it outside the city gate, are there any other items?"
As soon as Gu Xi gave the order, new items were brought over.
The following items were all green materials, some from higher-level ghosts, some from the ghost leaders who died in Gu Xi's hands at the beginning, but nothing really eye-catching for Gu Xi.
[You have obtained Ice Crystal (Green) *3]
[Ice Crystal (Green): Ice crystal that can be inserted into a creature's chest, turning the creature into an aberrant.]
[You have obtained Snowflake Fragment (Green) *7]
[Snowflake Fragment (Green): Ice flower formed by cold air and water, can be used to temporarily enchant weapons, giving them Cold attribute +1.]
[You have obtained Aberrant Nails (Green) *4]
[Aberrant Nails (Green): Nails pulled from aberrants, can be used to make arrows.]
[You have obtained Weird Oily Skin (Green)...]
[You have obtained Special Seeds (Green)...]
[…]
Looking at the items being brought over one by one, Gu Xi's expression went from initial excitement to numbness, and finally to no expression at all.
Until finally, an undead suddenly dragged over an item, which made Gu Xi's eyes widen.
"No, something's wrong."
Looking at the item, Gu Xi jumped up and quickly ran towards the city gate, even forgetting the evil coffin stopped beside him.
