I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 94 If you want to earn contribution points, go to the Otherworld Battlefield.

Buzz!

It's the sound from a communicator.

Just after ending his call with Hong Jishi, Jiang Chen's communicator vibrated, displaying a notification message.

The message told him that he had successfully set a new record in the Tyrant Desert instance, earning 5000 points and 30 contribution points.

Although the rewards are generous, you can only receive them once.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly; the rewards from large-scale dungeons were indeed generous.

Unfortunately, there's only one chance.

At the dormitory entrance, he encountered Hong Jishi and was suddenly taken away. Hong Jishi used a teleportation stone to take Jiang Chen to a small courtyard on a mountain.

Surrounded by bamboo groves, this courtyard is tranquil and elegant, with moonlight spilling onto the ground and stars twinkling.

Small magic lamps hang from the bamboo, providing dim lighting for the yard and elevating the owner's taste.

In any case, being able to live in such an artistic place already fully demonstrates the homeowner's extraordinary taste.

Jiang Chen was amazed by the environment; he liked this tranquil place.

Hong Jishi looked at Jiang Chen's expression with satisfaction, then led him into the house.

"This is my house, come on in!"

Jiang Chen nodded. As expected of Hong Shen, his taste was indeed extraordinary.

Besides, in these times, the outside world is teeming with ferocious beasts, and very few people live there anymore. "Let's go inside and talk first!"

The safest place to live is inside the city walls, where there are armies and professionals guarding everyone.

The fact that a big shot like Hong Jishi lives in the wild fully demonstrates his strength and fearlessness in the face of unexpected situations outside!

They walked through the front yard to the back yard, where there was a tea table with fragrant tea on it.

In the backyard stood a refined middle-aged man, dressed in a long robe, who looked like a learned scholar.

When Jiang Chen saw this middle-aged man, he couldn't help but feel a deep respect for him.

He knew that this middle-aged man was Li Xueru, a master of divine array formations, and was respectfully addressed as Mr. Li.

He has made outstanding contributions and enjoys a high reputation.

In the Divine Dragon Empire, not only Hong Jishi and Hong Shen have a high reputation.

This Mr. Li Xueru is even more remarkable; he is a household name.

Furthermore, the man and his deeds were written into textbooks, and Jiang Chen learned many of this gentleman's principles from the textbooks.

Jiang Chen bowed to him and said, "Jiang Chen greets Mr. Li."

Li Xueru smiled and nodded, gesturing for Jiang Chen to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea.

Hong Jishi also smiled and said, "Don't be shy, Lao Li is easy to talk to."

"Jiang Chen, it's safe here. Take out the Heart of the Tyrant!"

Hong Jishi demanded that Jiang Chen produce the Heart of a Tyrant, and Jiang Chen did so.

The object is shaped like a heart, feels soft to the touch, and looks almost alive.

Li Xueru glanced at it and confirmed that it was the heart of a tyrant.

Hong Ki-seok asked curiously, "Did you really do it all by yourself?"

Jiang Chen nodded firmly, "Yes, I did it all by myself."

Hong Ki-seok gave a strange look: "How did you manage to do that?"

Jiang Chen fell silent, unable to explain how he had accomplished this feat.

Finally, he had no choice but to answer, "I just swiped through it like that."

Hong Jishi realized his question was somewhat foolish, and Li Xueru broke the silence: "How were the grades?"

Jiang Chen replied, "It took me 14 hours."

Hong Jishi was shocked. The speed was too fast. Jiang Chen's strength alone had surpassed that of a team of 40.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was only level 20 when he entered the dungeon, which is astonishing. If he can achieve such combat power at level 20, his combat power may become even stronger in the future.

If I could get a third job advancement...

Hong Jishi was somewhat excited as he thought about it.

Li Xueru, on the other hand, was much calmer and didn't say anything: "Not bad results, Lao Hong. You have to keep your promises."

"That's natural."

Hong Jishi took a talisman.

It's a basic cooling amulet, but it's exactly the same as the one Jiang Chen had seen before.

Hong Jishi said, "This cooling amulet is yours now. If you want to upgrade it to a mid-level or high-level cooling amulet in the future, that will be up to you."

"I can tell you how to upgrade."

Jiang Chen knew there was no free lunch, so he immediately asked, "What are your instructions, God Hong?" Seeing that Jiang Chen was so cooperative, Hong Jishi was very satisfied: "No rush. Let me ask you, do you want to enter the Dragon Clan Academy?"

That goes without saying, you're just asking a question you already know the answer to.

Jiang Chen said softly, "Yes."

Hong Jishi chuckled: "I know you level up quickly, so your level isn't a problem. What you lack are contribution points."

Jiang Chen nodded again: "Yes."

Jiang Chen's answer was exactly what Hong Jishi expected.

Hong Jishi's eyes gleamed with the cunning of an old fox: "Do you think you can earn 1000 contribution points?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, unsure.

He now has 90 contribution points, but he is still far from the 1000 contribution points required by the Dragon Academy, less than one-tenth of that.

He planned to complete every dungeon he could access in the Dungeon Hall. He wasn't sure how many contribution points he would get.

If we calculate based on 5 to 10 points per instance, even if he sets new records for all instances below level 30, it still wouldn't be enough.

Hong Jishi patiently guided him: "Have you ever heard of the Otherworldly Battlefield?"

The Otherworldly Battlefield?

Jiang Chen shook his head again, indicating that he had never heard of it.

Hong Jishi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "There are many good things in the Otherworld Battlefield that can be exchanged for contribution points."

"The university has outposts in the alien battlefield, where they assign tasks, and you can earn contribution points by completing those tasks."

"In short, if you want to quickly gain contribution points, you should go to the Otherworld Battlefield."

Jiang Chen's eyes gleamed slightly.

He was clearly interested in the Otherworldly Battlefield. What a wonderful place! Wasn't this perfect for his current situation?

Hong Jishi observed Jiang Chen's expression and, knowing that it had piqued his interest, changed the subject.

"However, the Otherworld Battlefield is not open to just anyone. It's like the Dungeon Hall; you need to be qualified to enter."

Jiang Chen looked at Hong Jishi: "How can we go?"

Hong Jishi chuckled: "I can give you that qualification."

"condition?"

Jiang Chen was straightforward.

Having dealt with Hong Jishi several times, I know his personality.

Everything is based on an equal exchange.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Hong Jishi chuckled: "Smart. There are plenty of good stuff in the Otherworld Battlefield, lots of dungeons, and sometimes even natural secret realms."

"The dungeons in the Otherworld Battlefield have a unique feature: they have very lenient level restrictions. You can enter if your level is more than 5 levels above or below, just like the Tyrant Desert dungeon you just visited."

"Go to the Otherworld Battlefield and bring back some materials from the dungeon."

"I have already made a list of the materials you need."

Hong Jishi seemed not to have considered the possibility that Jiang Chen would not agree.

He smiled like an old fox.

The communicator vibrated; Jiang Chen had received the list.

They are all materials.

Ten hearts of dragons.

10 drops of dragon blood essence.

Dragon horns, 10. Dragon crystal cores, 5.

All of the materials are related to the dragon race.

Needless to say, this instance is also related to the dragon race.

Jiang Chen looked at Hong Jishi speechlessly.

Dragons are such powerful creatures, and he's only level 21. You want him to slay a dragon?

What's the difference between this and sending him to his death?

Hong Jishi said, "Don't worry, they're not real dragons, just a kind of orc that claims to be dragons. They're essentially no different from the lions in the Tyrant Desert."

"So that's how it is," Jiang Chen understood.

He did not doubt what Hong Ki-seok said.

Given Hong Jishi's status, he wouldn't lie to him.

Jiang Chen asked, "Does the cooling talisman work there too?"

Hong Jishi replied with an air of nonchalance, "Of course it works." "What happens when the cooling amulet runs out of energy?"

His primary cooling charm is now at full energy and can be used 10 times.

Once the energy is used up, it needs to be recharged.

Hong Jishi said, "That's simple. There are many ways. Go to the alchemy hall at the university, find the alchemy master there, and pay the points."

Of the methods he suggested, the simplest was to go back to the university, find the alchemist in the alchemy hall, and spend the corresponding points.

You can also find an alchemist outside, but that costs gold coins, and it depends on whether they are willing to help.

Charging also requires a lot of materials, which are worth gold coins.

Alternatively, you can find the materials yourself; some special materials can directly charge the cooling amulet.

However, that material is rare and hard to find.

In short, going back to the university to recharge is still the most convenient. It just requires spending points.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment: "Lord Hongshen, do you know about the Desert Fruit?"

Hong Jishi looked surprised: "You obtained the Desert Fruit during your trip to the Tyrant Desert?"

"Got."

Hong Jishi laughed heartily: "You're really lucky. This thing is extremely rare and hard to come by. It's a great item for cultivating skills. Have you used it yet?"

Jiang Chen said softly, "We used it, but the quantity wasn't enough."

Even Hong Jishi said it was a good thing, so the Desert Fruit must be really good.

Hong Jishi patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder: "Don't even think about it. This kind of thing is extremely rare. You might not even be able to find it even if you try 10 more times."

"The skill training room may not be as good as the Desert Fruit, but it's still not bad."

"After the opening ceremony, I will send you to the alien battlefield."

Jiang Chen then asked, "If I cultivate a skill to the maximum level, will the skill also level up when I level up?"

Hong Jishi was stunned for a moment: "How could that be? Skills all need to be practiced."

Jiang Chen seemed to understand something, and instead of asking further questions, he asked some other questions.

Hong Jishi answered truthfully.

He has a great deal of knowledge, and it is very comprehensive.

Jiang Chen's questions were simply common sense to him.

After Jiang Chen left, Hong Jishi played with the Tyrant's Heart: "Tsk tsk, the Tyrant Necklace, it's really a nice piece of equipment."

The Tyrant's Heart resembles a heart in appearance, but its essence is a crystal core, which can be used to craft BOSS jewelry—the Tyrant Necklace. Li Xueru said, "Is it appropriate to send him to the Otherworld Battlefield so early?"

Hong Jishi chuckled: "As you can see, this kid is capable of soloing large-scale dungeons, which means his strength is already comparable to some newly promoted professionals."

"It would be good to go to the alien battlefield for some training as soon as possible."

Li Xueru said in a deep voice, "It seems you really want to mentor him."

Hong Jishi tilted his head and looked over: "Is that not allowed? The old man is training his sister, so I'll train him. I'll compete with the old man to see who trains the stronger person."

Li Xueru was both amused and exasperated. To outsiders, the dignified God Hong was sometimes like a child.

"Then why didn't you tell him that there are enemies in the alien battlefield and it's not safe?"

"What's there to say? You'll find out when we get there," Li Xueru said irritably. "You're really responsible..."
