Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 15 Cooking Mission
"If you play dead, I'll go do something else."

Wang Yue poked Sis with her finger, but the other party still did not respond.

"As expected, they are still NPCs. They won't speak unless there is a specific dialogue."

Sith did not give any other hints, and the only captain's mission had been completed. Wang Yue needed to look for other tasks in the [Shelter].

"If there are no tasks, I can only ask Xiao Nuo to cheat."

The majority of the buildings in the shelter are wooden houses, and they are closed.

The [Ghost Map] does not show the situation inside the room, so Wang Yue can only knock on the doors one by one to check.

"Hello, is anyone around?"

A woman came out of the first wooden house, holding a needle and a piece of cloth in her hands, like a skilled tailor.

[Dead Leatherworker: The wife of the helmsman of the Breakers. She made all the crew's clothes.]

【Level: 10】

The leatherworker is a green name, thanks to the captain's call of "friend".

Although Wang Yue cannot directly command her, the leatherworker has become one of his own and should be able to make props for him.

"It's winter now. It's time to give the crew new clothes."

The leatherworker spoke in a greeting tone. Her gentle attitude showed that she was a kind person when she was alive.

She didn't give any tasks, but stood at the door motionlessly waiting for Wang Yue.

"Can you process this material?"

Wang Yue took out the [Lesser Demon Fur] from the package. Although the fur was only a basic material, the leatherworker should be able to make some usable equipment for Wang Yue.

"It's all right to leave it to me, kid. Please come visit again tomorrow."

The leatherworker bent over, faced Wang Yue, and stepped back into the house. She closed the wooden door gently without even making a sound.

"He is a great leatherworker."

She felt comfortable just standing and having a conversation with him, so Wang Yue decided to give all the raw materials to this woman in the future.

"The shelter is full of talented people, and the undead won't wander around, it's really perfect..."

Wang Yue walked to the next wooden house and found a pair of eyes looking at him through the crack in the door.

[Dead Lookout: The Eye of the Breakers, the Man Standing on Top in the Storm]

【Level: 12】

Seeing that it was another zombie with a green name, Wang Yue was not afraid but stepped forward and looked into the other's eyes.

"You look at me, and I look at you."

With one hand pointing, he looks like the uncle on the poster of a beautiful country.

"We are surrounded by a storm. Tell the captain the bad news."

The boy hiding behind the door said in horror. Wang Yue raised her eyebrows and prepared to continue acting with the lookout.

"I just met with the captain, and he asked you to continue to observe the wind and waves."

The boy nodded after getting the response, and he opened the wooden door, allowing Wang Yue to see his full appearance.

The lookout of the Breakers was a boy. He stood on a rock, wearing a tattered felt hat. On his waist hung a shabby telescope with broken glass.

"By the way, the captain asked me to inform the chef to hide all the food."

Because the crew's cabins were all exactly the same, Wang Yue forgot where the "Dead Chef" he had seen before was, so he simply asked the Eyes of the Wavebreaker.

The lookout nodded, raised his broken telescope, and after observing for a week, he pointed in a direction.

"The chef is in the room at the end of the corridor. I hope he can save a portion of fish for me. I am still growing."

Wang Yue looked at the boy. The living dead should not be able to change their appearance after death, but considering the boy's age, if he eats well and drinks well every day, he should be able to grow into a handsome boy.

"Wait for me to study the spells related to the growth of the dead. I will definitely be able to speed up your growth."

Wang Yue finally fixed her eyes on the boy's telescope, thinking about how to trigger the task.

However, when the boy saw that Wang Yue did not take the next step, he jumped off the stone and closed the door silently.

[Teleportation pocket watch scale activated-Shelter]

"What an rude kid. Oh, I won't argue with kids."

The teleportation scale was suddenly activated, and the unexpected gain made Wang Yue forgive the little boy.

……

With the lookout's guidance, Wang Yue successfully found the wooden house where the "dead chef" was.

Just like the first time he saw him, the cook stood at the door with the door open and observed Wang Yue.

"It's not meal time now."

Wang Yue took out the [Lesser Demon Crystal], but it did not trigger the conversation about food making.

The cook did not return to the cabin either, so he still had a chance to try.

"A kid asked me to find you..."

Halfway through his words, Wang Yue patted his head.

I just learned the location from the [Lookout] and didn't get any tasks or props from the child. It is definitely meaningless to say this.

"The Captain is my brother, I want you to help me make a meal."

He tossed the crystal in his hand and made vegetable-cutting movements in the air.

[Dead Chef] nodded, and he returned to the wooden house to look for something. Soon, the sound of bottles and jars being knocked could be heard from inside the house.

"Let's go, apprentice."

"apprentice?"

The chef came out holding a pile of rusty kitchen utensils, and with him appeared the task prompt.

[Mission Objective: Make Lesser Demon Crystal Soup]

[Quest Reward: Lesser Demon Crystal Soup]

"You are wrong. I am a carpenter who cuts wood, not an apprentice who cooks."

Wang Yue waved her hands in front of the cook, but the cook remained expressionless and turned towards the [Corrupted Forest].

"I don't want to give up my secondary profession as a carpenter. I really can't do your task."

Each player can only have one secondary profession, and if they want to learn a new secondary profession, they must forget the old profession.

No matter how Wang Yue struggled, the chef had no intention of stopping.

The two came to the outside of the forest, and all the [Dead Trees] that had been chopped down before had resurrected.

"I see. You definitely don't want me to make it myself. You want me to help you, right?"

When they got outside the woods, the cook put the kitchen utensils on the ground, silently built a simple stove by himself, and then arranged the dining utensils neatly.

Finally, he threw a rusty axe at Wang Yue's feet and pointed at the [Dead Wood] nearby.

[Logging axe: an axe specifically used to chop down trees]

[Effect: Causes special damage to tree-shaped creatures]

"Chopping wood is fine, but what I'm best at is chopping down trees."

Originally, the [Dead Wood] was restrained by the dark energy, and with the [Logging Axe] specially used for cutting down trees, Wang Yue would be able to collect wood easily.

"Goudan, bring your little brother to me."

The wooden fence around the shelter has been built, and Goudan is now idle.

Wang Yue believed that the skeletons must have been bored. A qualified necromancer should ensure that all summoned creatures had something to do.

"By the way, add two younger brothers, summon the dead."

He cast the magic again, and the summoning circle under his feet flashed by. The mana was not deducted, and the summoning failed to take effect.

[Spell Failed]

[Your materials are insufficient]

"No more bone fragments?"

Wang Yue opened the package and checked. Apart from the two special items, only the [Fifth-Level Bone Fragments] were left. Most of the [Basic-Level Bone Fragments] that were as small as cabbages were consumed by [Dark Energy Extraction].

"Chef, I'm going to go back and get some ingredients. You stay here and don't move."

[Dead Chef] did not react at all, but squatted in front of the kitchen utensils, quietly waiting for Wang Yue to bring the wood to him.

"Use the teleportation pocket watch. The location is the storage room."

Move the pointer to the specified scale and press the button on the top of the pocket watch.

The space became distorted, Wang Yue felt dizzy, and the scenery was shrunk into a ball.

When the object in sight was enlarged again, Wang Yue's shaking head slowly stabilized, and the location prompt of [Storage Room] popped up in the interface.
