Chop... chop....
The sound of logs chopping spread across the front yard. With sweats pouring down from all over his body, Liu Fang was chopping logs with his thun body.
Along with the heat of the noon sun, it was an unbearable scene to watch.
But, with determination and hope, he finished it.
After chopping all the woods, with the workloads from yesterday, Liu Fang lay on the ground flat. He was heavily breathing from his mouth.
Then, he stood and walked towards the kitchen. Since he could afford only one meal a day, he must have atleast something that will give him some energy.
He first drank a small cup of water from the earthen pot. Then, he opened the rice store jar.
Seeing the remaining amount of rice, he sighed inwardly. I should by some rice from auntie Su, tomorrow.
What can he do about it. He scooped up the remaining rice from the jar and prepared to cook it. But before that, he needed to take a bath. He was reeking with the smell of sweat.
So, he came to a pond just a few distance away from his house as well the village. That was the only place where he could take a bath without the constant questioning eyes of his villagers.
After undressing himself, he came to the edge of the pond ready to clean himself.
As he started the process, something caught his eyes. He saw the dead body of an animal, likely a reptile. But that was not the thing that caught his eyes, it was the small floating screen above the bead body.
Curious, Liu Fang dressed himself back and went to check it out.
When he arrived near the body, he found out it was the dead body of a snake. Likely, a venomous one. And from the looked of it, it dead from starvation or something related to it.
Only when he was near the snake body did he clearly saw what was the small floating screen.
As soon as he clearly saw the screen, the same voice appeared in his head.
[Ding! A potential undead has been found.]
[If host wants it, you can summon your first undead.]
Liu Fang was excited for a moment. Even though the system was only for necromancer and could not help him in cultivation, he would still have some strength to protect him with the power of necromancer.
He quickly concealed his excitement and looked around to see if anybody was watching him.
After clearing that, he murmured. "Now how do I summon this undead."
[Spread your palm and aim at the dead body and say the word 'summon'.]
Liu Fang did just that. He spread his palm and aimed at the snake body and murmured. "Summon."
As soon as he said that, he saw a magical scene that only happens in drama and novels.
The body of the snake started decaying at a rapid speed. And when all that was done, only the part of the skeleton was remained.
Surprisingly, the skeleton didn't fall apart. It looked like it was infused with each parts with magic.
When the process was over, Liu Fang got his first undead. A snake skeleton that was about 1 meter long and the thickness of his wrist.
This will protect me!? After looking at the finished product, Liu Fang felt skeptical.
As he was wondering if the snake undead was powerful enough to help and protect him, he got another message from the system.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully summoned your first undead. Small snake undead.
Now you can access to your character panel.]
Character panel? He thought.
The moment he said that, a screen popped up in front of his eyes.
[Host: Liu Fang.
Profession: Necromancy.
Magical power: 10.
Strength: 5 (normal 10)
Speed: 6 (normal 10)
Endurance: 7 (normal 10)
Defense: 5 (normal 10)
Attack: 6 (normal 10)
Undead summons: 1 (currently capableof 2).]
After looking at the panel, he realized how weak he was. His stats was not even on par with a normal ordinary mortal human, let alone the Immortal cultivators.
He closed the character panel and looked at the undead snake. He said. "Now, where do I place you? I can not just take you around with me."
Knowing what he was thinking.
[Just put it on the dimensional space. You can summon it anytime you want.]
Woowww.. I can do that. Liu Fang tried putting the undead into the dimensional space. But he realized he doesn't know how to.
"Hehe.. can you tell me the ... you know... the method?" Liu Fang asked the system with a light laugh.
[Just think it in your head.]
"Ohhh..." Embarrassed, he turned to the undead snake. And with a simple thought, he put it into the dimensional space.
Then, he went back to the pond and took a bath. After cleaning himself, he went back to his house.
And when he was done cooking the rice, he realized that he doesn't have anything that will go with it.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. "Summon." He hurriedly summoned the undead snake right in the kitchen.
Swa....
Looking at the small snake skeleton, he gave his first instruction to it. "Go to the forest and find some edible vegetables for me."
The snake nodded softly and slithered away. Looking at its action, it was kind of cute.
Even when the snake went far away, Liu Fang could still feel the connection between them. Like an invisible thread was connecting their presence.
With a small bowl of rice, Liu Fang sat outside at the front yard and waited.
"Ahh! I forgot to inform it to let other see. I hope no one sees that." He slapped his own forehead.
For some time, he waited at the yard. And accompanying him was the soft spring breeze.
About half and hour later, the small skeleton snake came back. Inside its mouth was full of vegetables.
Just one glance and Liu Fang knew most of it were edible vegetables he knew of.
