I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 20: Learning a New Skill, Corpse Explosion

Jiang Chen looked at the four bronze-level weapons that had appeared in front of him with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, these three were equipped with items of considerable value.

A bronze-grade weapon, its surface shimmering with a bluish-white light, somewhat similar to the luster on the skeleton warrior's body.

Lin Cai'er said, "These are all weapons obtained from the Zul'Gurub Orc Legion dungeon."

"Zul'dan Legion instance?"

Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled, as he had never heard of this instance.

Lin Cai'er noticed that Jiang Chen didn't understand, and thought for a moment.

"The Zul'Gurub Orc Legion dungeon is a level 20 dungeon outside White Cloud City, and these equipment drops from there."

Jiang Chen understood; he was a newbie who had just completed his job change and knew very little about the job.

These four bronze-level equipment pieces are useless to him; he can only sell them for money in the class hall.

He simply put away the four bronze equipment pieces, and Lin Cai'er made no comment on it.

There were still some materials left, such as beast hides, animal bones, and herbs, which Jiang Chen put into his bag.

He checked the purchase prices of these items at the profession hall before leaving the city, and they were all worth selling.

After putting away the weapons, equipment, and materials, Jiang Chen noticed something else on the ground.

"Beginner Skill Scroll"

"Description: Can obtain skills below level 20, and may also obtain skills already learned." Skill scroll? Beginner level?

Such items are quite valuable, with even the cheapest costing 10 gold coins – an unexpected bonus.

He took the scroll in his hand, examined it carefully, and was unsure what to do with it.

Lin Cai'er seemed to sense his confusion: "You haven't used a beginner skill scroll before, have you?"

Jiang Chen nodded; he had only been a student for a few days…

Lin Cai'er smiled and said, "Then you can try it. There's a chance you'll get a skill you've already learned, but there's also a chance you'll learn a new skill."

But looking into Jiang Chen's eyes, Lin Cai'er was somewhat surprised!

"Wait, you're not thinking of selling it for money, are you? Seriously, are you that desperate for cash?"

"It's a beginner skill scroll, not an advanced one. Why not use it yourself? How much can you sell it for?" Lin Cai'er's family was obviously very wealthy. From what she said, 10 gold coins were not a lot of money!

Jiang Chen didn't understand the meaning behind her words and kept holding the scroll tightly in his hand.

Lin Cai'er asked again, "What? You don't know how to use it?"

Jiang Chen looked at her and shook his head.

"It's very simple, just hold up the scroll and talk," Lin Cai'er continued.

"Just talking is enough?" Jiang Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Seeing his expression, Lin Cai'er couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, your voice is too soft. You need to speak louder."

Jiang Chen didn't delve into the truthfulness of her words, and tried to do as Lin Cai'er said.

"use!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scroll remained motionless. Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Lin Cai'er couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop talking? Did you realize that what I said was true?"

She was looking at Jiang Chen with a mischievous expression, seemingly lost in thought...

But Jiang Chen stood there without saying a word.

He realized that Lin Cai'er was playing a trick on him, and he had trusted her so much.

Having changed his approach, Jiang Chen understood everything and began to try to integrate his spiritual power into the scroll.

Suddenly, the beginner scroll emitted a blazing light, enveloping Jiang Chen entirely.

Lin Cai'er looked at Jiang Chen with a disappointed expression: "You found out."

She had only meant to tease Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen ended up figuring out the right way to use her.

As the skill scroll transformed into a ball of light enveloping Jiang Chen, Lin Cai'er couldn't help but sigh. "Skill Acquired: Corpse Explosion Technique"

"Corpse Explosion LV1: Detonates a corpse, dealing damage equal to 10% of the corpse's health to enemies within a 1-meter radius."

Jiang Chen acquired a new skill, so the scroll was not wasted.

At first glance, this skill doesn't seem particularly outstanding.

The range is only one meter. With Jiang Chen's current strength, what can he do with one meter?

One meter seems like a very small range, but Jiang Chen gleaned different information from the skill's description.

This is an area-of-effect skill. If it were his skeleton warriors, it would be too troublesome to cut down those enemies one by one.

Moreover, even elites continue to radiate energy after death.

This is an area-of-effect attack! As long as one enemy is killed, the corpse will explode, dealing damage to enemies within the skill's range.

If more enemies are killed, more corpses can be detonated, creating a chain reaction.

As long as his mental energy doesn't run out, this skill can be continuously released, causing massive AOE damage!

In addition to his innate skills, his attack range will reach 20 meters, and his lethality will reach 200%!

That's another amazing skill!

If used properly, this skill is practically invincible!

As the light gradually faded, Lin Cai'er blinked her big eyes and asked expectantly, "How was it? Did you learn any new skills?"

"I've learned something," Jiang Chen replied expressionlessly.

Lin Cai'er immediately beamed with joy, "Your voice is very nice, why don't you like to talk?"

Jiang Chen looked at her; this woman seemed different from the other girls.

She is very lively and loves to play.

"Your voice is very nice too."

Jiang Chen rarely praises others.

It's not that he can't communicate; he just doesn't want to say too many useless things.

When Jiang Chen lived with his family before, he was always smiling, talkative, and very lively...

Lin Cai'er seemed very happy and giggled, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm very happy to hear your praise."

"Since you saved me and praised me, I'll give you this."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Cai'er took out a box and stuffed it directly into Jiang Chen's hand.

"Intermediate Skill Scroll" "Description: Allows you to learn spells between level 40 and 70, with a certain chance of obtaining spells you have already learned."

In the class hall, the price of a mid-level spell scroll can reach tens of millions of gold coins, which is almost a hundred times that of a basic spell scroll.

It came at a high price and was priceless.

For Jiang Chen at least right now, it's an astronomical figure!

Lin Cai'er once said that the three professionals Jiang Chen killed earlier had been relentlessly pursuing her because of this intermediate skill scroll…

But now they've suddenly given me something so valuable.

Jiang Chen was taken aback, finding it somewhat unbelievable that this girl was so generous.

He looked up and met Lin Cai'er's bright, blinking eyes...
