Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

```

Nowadays, ores are naturally very precious resources, but as the level of the Lord’s Mansion continues to rise, the price of these common ore resources will definitely plummet.

In that case, the exchange price will definitely fluctuate.

"There’s no problem with that, thank you, My Lord."

The Gnoll Priest nodded and then looked toward the passage they had come through, barking a few "woof woof" calls.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps came, this time even denser than before.

And on the map hanging up, the large cluster of life sources that had been stationary in the mine shaft over a hundred meters away, immediately started rushing towards them.

"Chieftain!"

This time, twenty gnolls appeared, their builds similar to that of little yellow dogs, each one’s strength below First Order, all following the standard monster template.

However, with the arrival of this group of gnolls, a chest emitting a faint green luster immediately caught Zi Liyuan’s attention.

"My Lord, this green premium chest is to thank you for your help."

The Gnoll Priest casually dragged the green premium chest over and placed it in front of Zi Liyuan.

"Then I won’t be polite."

In the Sea of Realms, there are rules restricting who can open treasure chests, only hero units can do it.

And the monsters within the Sea of Realms naturally understand that treasure chests are good stuff, so whenever they come across one, they usually take it back to their lairs to hide it.

If a hero unit appears within their tribe, perhaps the treasures within the chest could be their chance for a rise?

What Zi Liyuan couldn’t understand, however, was where these gnolls had gotten the green premium chest from, as these were usually guarded by green elite BOSS monsters.

Gauging the gnolls’ strength, probably a single First Order elite BOSS could wipe them all out.

Zi Liyuan had no intention of delving deeper, immediately flipping open the chest while muttering to himself.

"Fortune Goddess, my waifu, give me some more treasures to enhance the Lord’s Mansion’s experience pool!"

Within the shimmering pale green glow, a full six treasures fell out of the chest, turning into six cards.

"Beautiful!"

He snatched the six cards, what else could they be if not experience cards?

[Experience Card (Green): A single-use consumable, upon use, adds 100,000 experience points to the Lord’s Mansion’s experience pool!]

Isn’t that 600,000 experience points in hand?

With this, couldn’t 100 Skeleton Warrior squad members at the peak of First Order come into being?

Though the Skeleton Warriors aren’t very powerful, they’re still enough to defend the current territory!

It can be said that with this wave of strength, at least there’s no need to worry about problems arising in the mining area’s passages.

Pleased, he nodded, feeling even more favorable towards the gnolls.

"You go back and prepare for the move, have Er Gouzi follow me, I’ll start clearing out the steel elementals in the entire mine area for you now."

Scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours, these gnolls will become the official miners of the territory in the future.

After casually saying this, Zi Liyuan gestured for Little Yellow Hair Er Gouzi to keep up, then led four skeletons out of the narrow mine shaft and into the larger mining cave.

Next up was clearing out the monsters.

With the map open, the location of the monsters was clear at a glance.

Kill, have the Skeleton Collection Squad package the bodies and take them away, and pick up various ores dropped nearby in the process.

Throughout this clean-up, Lord Zi sat in his palanquin, the whole process relaxed and leisurely, leaving Er Gouzi by his side utterly terrified. Continue your adventure at empire

He gained a deeper understanding of the human Lord’s strength.

Untouchable! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Go back and tell the chieftain, let the runts below not stir up trouble and just mine honestly, then proceed with the food trade.

Also, seeing the Lord’s strength, Er Gouzi felt a bit more at ease.

```

They also feared that this Lord might have some bad intentions, such as capturing Gnolls to offer as sacrifices, or selling them as slaves.

Population holds considerable value.

Especially these Gnolls, who all possess a certain ability to locate mineral veins. In the low-end slave market, there were plenty of buyers.

One hour later, under the tireless transport of four Skeletons, every creature in the large mine, including several BOSSes, had been wiped out and slain cleanly.

Then Zi Liyuan immediately exited the mine and began clearing the creatures on the surface of the mining area according to the map.

At the very least, he planned to eliminate all creatures within a five-thousand-meter radius of the mine entrance. After that, he would return to strengthen his Skeleton Warriors, form a hundred into a squad, and send them to patrol this area while also protecting the road to the mine.

The creatures on the surface of the mining area were weaker in strength compared to those inside the mine, and their distribution was not as dense.

However, compared to the winding and difficult path inside the mine, the four Skeletons carrying the palanquin outside were much faster, almost by half again as much as inside.

Er Gouzi followed behind, his tongue hanging out like a big stone, nearly running his legs off.

This round of cleaning took even longer, mainly because the nearby mine area was surrounded by mountains with no roads opened yet, and sometimes they had to clear their own path.

Luckily, there were very few trees here, and stones and debris were everywhere, so their line of sight was hardly obstructed. Lord Zi could snipe creatures from a distance.

Shadow Arrow, Shadow Arrow Rain, Death Shadow Arrow, Elemental Arrow—all could be fired over a kilometer away without any problems.

After clearing everything in the area, Zi Liyuan looked toward Er Gouzi.

"Er Gouzi, I have killed all the creatures within a five-thousand-meter radius. You go back and inform the priest, then start relocating. I will come over with food tomorrow to trade with you."

"Yes, my Lord!"

Er Gouzi said in a jumbled manner, then immediately dashed into the mine and disappeared from sight.

"This fellow is not lacking in intelligence, and he also has a certain status within the Gnoll tribe; he’s quite clever. Having him follow and help with messaging wouldn’t be bad."

He tapped the palanquin, signaling the four Skeleton Warriors to head back.

Compared to the journey there, the return trip was faster, since there were no obstacles on the road.

Meanwhile, this trip had yielded a significant haul. There were at least four hundred Iron Elementals killed in the mine, and their bodies were mineral materials. Along with the dropped ores, they definitely met the iron ore requirement for upgrading the Lord’s Mansion to Level 2.

So, Lord Zi was somewhat eager to return.

After all, he had just checked the Lord’s interface, and the only material not yet meeting the upgrade requirements in the storage was the iron ingots.

Once he brought this batch of materials back and smelted it into iron ingots, he could immediately upgrade the Lord’s Mansion to Level 2.

"Unknowingly, the sun is about to set. This is a good time to see what the Sea of Realms looks like at night."

The day and night changes in the Sea of Realms are quite pronounced.

Information provided by Dragon Academy indicated that the day was relatively normal, but various unforeseen events often occurred at night.

With his strength, he was not too afraid; however, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, needlessly inviting trouble, which was not his style.

Before the sun completely disappeared, finally, with the four Skeletons hastening back, he returned to the Lord’s Mansion.

He immediately threw the ores harvested into the smelter for the White Jade Skeleton with blacksmith talents to smelt.

Unfortunately, smelting 100 iron ingots took more than an hour; otherwise, he could have started upgrading the Lord’s Mansion to Level 2 right then and there.

Upon reaching the marketplace, and opening the trade panel, Zi Liyuan found that indeed someone had exchanged his resources.

However, it wasn’t much. The wood had decreased by 300 units, while a full 800 units of stone material were gone, earning him fine stone material (green) and a few iron ingots in exchange.

"As expected, there are quite a few Luck Emperors with high-quality resources inside their territories."

After sighing, Zi Liyuan took out a portion of meat from the storage, casually lit a stack of firewood, and began to roast it.

"Damn it, why can’t kitchens be directly built inside the territory? What’s up with that?"

Mumbling to himself, he bit into a roast meat chunk without any seasoning.

"Ptooey! This tastes awful. Forget it, I’m not eating."

With his high base attributes, he could go without food or drink for days without any issues, fully able to maintain himself by consuming his inner Spiritual Power.
