Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 67 Naval Base in Progress

The girl suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground, spilling wine everywhere. Su Ming went over, helped her up, and dragged her to the bathroom.

"You! Control! Me!" Zi Jin muttered angrily, pinching Su Ming with her hand.

Su Ming put his hand down the girl's throat, and she vomited.

"Hey, let go!" Su Ming tried hard to pry Zi Jin's mouth open. How could she bite him while spitting out food?!

After a while, the scholar finally calmed down. She lay there drowsily at first, then gradually fell asleep. Su Ming carried her back to her room, wiped her face and hair clean, and fed her half a glass of water.

Seeing that her breathing was steady, she should be alright. Su Ming asked White Skull to look after her and returned to his workroom.

He thought of his friends on Earth. He had once taken care of a senior student when she was drunk, and the two had even had a brief, ambiguous relationship. Unfortunately, they went to different places after graduation and lost contact.

"Study hard and go home soon!" Su Ming patted his face and continued to copy the 'Elemental Fading' spell runes.

Before going to sleep, Su Ming went to check on Zi Jin again and saw that she was sleeping peacefully, so he lifted the restriction on the white bone mark.

When he woke up in the morning, he saw the girl already dressed and sitting at the long table in the studio, flipping through a book. There was still some light rain outside the window; the storm was almost over.

They replenished their water supply with a large amount of fresh water during the storm, filling the hold to the brim.

After exchanging greetings, Su Ming noticed that Zi Jin had no intention of bringing up the events of the previous night, so he didn't discuss it further. He then brought up the questions he had encountered while learning runes the previous night and asked the scholar for help, who then explained them to him one by one.

After several hours of trial and error, the two finally unlocked Little Spiky's first new form: the Hound form.

In this form, the little spiky creature transforms into a large dog, gaining greater speed and agility.

Su Ming didn't dare to go ashore during the test, but the resistance was greatly reduced when running underwater, and the speed was even close to the level of the basic form on land.

The camouflage form didn't take much time; it simply transformed the body into a stone, making it suitable for hiding in certain environments.

“The shape of this model can be modified,” Violet told him. “You’ll be able to come up with new tricks for your next delivery.”

Su Ming really liked this feature, "Maybe it's not just for delivery."

After lunch, the two successfully completed their final attack sequence. It was now late at night in the United States, and Su Ming decided to begin their operation.

"Aren't you going to take a rest?" the scholar asked.

"My magical power is still pretty good right now, let's hurry up," Su Ming said. "We should finish our upgrades and go see the sea monster."

Whatever the strange numbers on the sea monster represent, they must be related to Earth, which could very well help Su Ming return home.

“Actually, these days are not bad, quite relaxing, like a vacation,” Zijin said.

"I feel like I'm back in high school, in the advanced class." Su Ming lay back in his chair, focusing intently on connecting with the little troublemaker.

The warehouse storing the hardware locks is about 2 kilometers from the sea. Su Ming noticed that a car would leave from the restaurant in the middle of the night to deliver food to the people on duty at the berth.

The guard post at the berth is very close to the water.

The timing was perfect. A moment later, the expected car appeared and stopped beside the sentry post. Su Ming quickly maneuvered the little rascal ashore, rolled under the car, and grabbed onto the chassis.

perfect!

On the way back, the car passed a dormitory building. The little troublemaker let go, landed on the ground, rolled into the dormitory, and hid in an empty room. The little troublemaker in human form had clothes, but in his hound form he didn't. Su Ming thought it necessary to conceal this, as it would divert the search for him.

After all, he's going to take action against a littoral combat ship next, and such a huge commotion would alarm all sorts of monsters and demons in this country.

This dormitory was carefully chosen by Su Ming, and it was empty now. He found a dark-colored women's training uniform, but realized that the little prickly boy's size was still too small, so he could only simply cut off the excess length. Then he found a vest and some black arm sleeves, and took out his needle and thread to sew them together.

Just as he was clumsily busy, Miao Xin, who was following him, made a request.

"So Miao Xin couldn't stand your handicrafts and sent you back?" Zi Jin asked in the workshop.

"Her complaints were overflowing!" Su Ming complained. "Do all the summoned creatures of you necromancers like to steal needlework from their masters?"

“No, don’t frame me, there’s no such thing.” Zi Jin denied, “You, Miao Xin, really don’t seem like a vengeful spirit, or even a ghost—” She pondered for a moment, “Hmm, it might be because of your magic.”

"Magic? What happened to my magic?"

“The higher the master’s magical power, the higher the intelligence of the undead summons. Galio’s summoned banshee can perform the four basic arithmetic operations, while a regular mage’s can only do addition and subtraction,” Violet replied, “and it’s only a single digit.”

Su Ming suddenly imagined a group of undead fighting, competing with each other in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and almost burst out laughing.

Violet gave him a strange look.

"...Speaking of which, Miao Xin's intelligence did indeed increase as my magic power increased." Su Ming recalled these things.

"Not only that, there's an important difference between you and a regular necromancer—you supply conceptual elements."

"so?"

"So, the reason for this phenomenon is that Miao Xin is eating too well!" Zi Jin shrugged.

"My magic power will increase further, right? What will happen next?" Su Ming asked.

"Congratulations, another uncharted territory. I suggest you take good notes so you can publish papers in the future. I can recommend a journal editor to you."

"……Thanks."

"Do you really have an editor you're close to?" Su Ming thought to himself.

Miao Xin quickly finished her needlework and called Su Ming back.

Su Ming checked and found that she had not only manipulated the little rascal to sew a dog coat, but also altered the women's military uniform to be smaller.

"Your needlework is quite skillful," Su Ming praised.

He tried on the clothes in human form, which fit him well, then took them off, switched to dog form, and fumbled to put on the dog clothes.

Miao Xin was disgusted by his clumsy appearance again!
He handed control of the little troublemaker back to Miao Xin, who tossed her clothes aside and then transformed them as they fell, revealing a dog form inside the clothes, with all four legs and the head completely encased.

Perfect fit!

"OK, your bones are under your control." Su Ming decided to accept his fate; the difference was significant.

He walked to the operations room, stopped in front of the naval base sand table he had made, looking at the sand table with one eye and connecting his other eye with Miao Xin's vision.

"Let's begin, let's go to the warehouse first!" Su Ming gave the order.
