Chapter 64: Forbidden Spell, Undead Eternal Life!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What was the hardest thing for the Blue Planet people to accept after the great change?
That must be…
Inequality!
In the past, the Blue Planet had developed to the 22nd century. All kinds of affirmative action slogans were no longer just about shouting.
Equality between men and women.
In fact, everyone was equal!
And now, after the huge change, all the people of the Blue Planet relied on the cities inherited from the game by their successors to extend their lives.
At this moment, an unequal relationship naturally appeared.
In the new world, there were new rules and regulations.
This was natural.
However, it was not that many people from the Blue Planet had problems with their brains, nor was it that they were not smart enough… They simply could not get used to it.
Of course.
Some people actually had other reasons.
The work in the mine was very heavy.
It was also very tiring.
After working for a while, even a man made of iron would be so tired that he could not straighten his back.
But there was no choice.
For the sake of fairness, everyone had a limited time to enter the mine.
On average, a person could only stay in the mine for one afternoon at most.
They had to leave at the appointed time.
Then, they went to level up.
Therefore, in order to earn more money, everyone had to work hard in mining during working hours.
No matter how tired they were, they had to endure it.
This was because everyone had started out poor. No matter how much money and assets they had in the old world, they were useless in the new world. For example, there was no place to refuel or charge cars. When the fuel ran out, they would be a pile of scrap metal.
Not a single cent could be obtained for selling these!
Moreover, if they wanted to level up, they had to spend money to buy equipment from the blacksmith and silk shop.
Without gold coins or soul crystals, it was difficult to do anything.
Therefore, many people would take advantage of the fact that the ores in one place had been dug up and rest for a few minutes when they moved locations.
However, this time, Liu Hai and Wang Shangfang did not mine. They kept wandering among these people who were resting.
“Uncle, you’re already here to mine at your age… Oh, this is your daughter? Hehe, you’re so beautiful. You’re not married yet, right? It’s fine even if you’re married. Do you want to enjoy life? Let me tell you, there’s a chance now. It’s true. My classmate’s sister, Liu Yue, isn’t as beautiful as your daughter, but she’ll marry a very powerful person in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom soon!”
“Auntie, are you tired? Hurry up and rest. Hehe… Auntie, are you alone? Do you want to live a good life?”
“Eh? Isn’t this our school belle, Jiang Tingting? You actually have to mine too? Isn’t that Zhang Chunlin your brother-in-law? Oh, don’t glare at me. What’s wrong? Hehe, I don’t mean anything else. I just want to tell you… Young Master Dela has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you as his concubine! Really, that’s Young Master Dela. His father is a marquis of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom! Let me tell you, Sky Moon City is about to be finished. Lin Chen won’t be arrogant for long!”
Coincidentally, Jiang Tingting was also in this mining group.
Although her sister was with Zhang Chunlin, Jiang Youyou and Zhang Chunlin were still in the beginning stage of their relationship.
Moreover, Jiang Tingting had been watching her sister. She was afraid that her sister would be deceived by Zhang Chunlin, so it was naturally not so easy for Zhang Chunlin to get her sister’s first time.
However, although Jiang Tingting and Jiang Youyou had connections with Zhang Chunlin, they did not pursue any special privileges. They also went to the mine to work. It was just that when they were leveling, Zhang Chunlin, a Level 129 Knight, would occasionally bring them along. Their leveling speed was relatively faster.
Of course, Zhang Chunlin would also give them some low-level equipment so that their strength would always be in the first tier among people of the same level.
But now, Liu Hai had actually found Jiang Tingting and said such words.
“Get lost. You’re the one who’s going to be someone else’s concubine! Liu Hai, to think that you’re a university student from the same school. Have all the books you’ve studied for so many years been eaten by dogs? You actually said that Sky Moon City is finished… Don’t forget that you’re also from the Blue Planet. If Sky Moon City is finished, you won’t be spared either!”
Jiang Tingting directly scolded Liu Hai!
“Hehe, don’t worry. Young Master Dela has already promised us that as long as we’re willing to surrender, we’ll have a chance to enter De Castle in the future. Although we can only do some slave work at the beginning, this is also a chance for us to truly integrate into the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!”
Liu Hai was still persuading her.
“You don’t want to be an actual person here? You actually want to be a dog for the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom instead? Are you leaving or not? If not, I’ll call the guards and complain for you harassing me!” Jiang Tingting was really angry and was about to call for help.
Seeing this, Liu Hai could only say, “I’ll leave, alright? However, Jiang Tingting, think about it carefully. With your looks, I believe you’ll definitely be able to win Lord Dela’s favor. Perhaps when you become a marquis’s wife in the future, we’ll all rely on you! You… Sigh, I really can’t figure it out. You don’t want to live a good life as a Dragon Spirit citizen, but you insist on mining yourself. Moreover, every ten ores you dig, you have to hand one to Lin Chen. Lin Chen is exploiting us!”
“Piss off!
Jiang Tingting scolded.
She was really angry.
In Sky Moon City.
Zhang Chunlin came to find Lin Chen again and reported the latest situation. “Boss, it’s said that De Castle has already mobilized their army. There are a total of ten airships, and they’re also filled with De Castle soldiers. As for the exact level, the spies are still gathering information.”
“Nice, Chunlin. We’ve already arranged for spies… How strong are those people? Don’t send them out if their levels are too low. Not only will they be easily discovered, but even if they encounter some monsters in the wilderness, their lives will be in danger,” Lin Chen instructed.
“Don’t worry, they’re all Old Liu’s subordinates. They’re all inheritors, and their levels are at least above Level 80.” As Zhang Chunlin spoke, he took out a letter. “This is De Castle’s eagle message to us. It says that at three in the afternoon at the latest, the De Castle army will attack. They even told us to be prepared to fight!”
“Interesting. Why do I feel like it’s the same as the Spring and Autumn Period? Why are they still so particular about being a gentleman when fighting a war? They even told us the time in advance, right?” Lin Chen was amused. He said to Zhang Chunlin, “Go to the mine and the leveling area. Call everyone back. There’s only an hour left. Tell them not to leave the city after they come back and stay in the city.”
“Yes, I’ll go now.”
Zhang Chunlin immediately went to make preparations.
At the same time, Lin Chen was also preparing.
He went to his skill book warehouse and looked for some skill books.
Before the game stopped, Lin Chen had stocked up on many skill books. Now that Lin Chen’s soul cultivation had increased his skill points available by 50 points, he still had 30 skill points remaining.
That was enough for him to learn two forbidden spells!
One of the forbidden spells could even be upgraded to Level 2.
Lin Chen found all the Forbidden Spell skill books. There were not many, only ten in total.
[Forbidden Spell—Explosive Attack]
“This thing has a splash effect on attacks. It’s useful to learn it, but it’s only a splash physical attack. It’s a little useless to me! Although the splash duration is quite long.”
[Forbidden Spell, Thousand Miles of Ice]
“It’s a powerful crowd control skill, but… it’s overlapping with Yuki Onna’s skill!”
[Forbidden Spell—Flame Shockwave]
“Alright, that overlaps with Vermillion Bird.”
Lin Chen looked at these skill books one by one and could not find any that were suitable for him. In fact, the only ones that were perfect for him were Star Power Burst and Seven Stars Energy Gathering.
Even the Divine Elephant Stepping on the Nine Heavens spell was a little imperfect.
However, when Lin Chen read them carefully again and carefully read the effects of these skills, he still discovered a Forbidden Spell skill book that had been ignored previously.
[Forbidden Spell, Undead Eternal Life]
[Description: Appease and summon dead creatures. After obtaining their approval, you will obtain the loyalty of the undead. This process can last until they die. The undead are divided into Dark Spirits, Spirits, Ghost Spirits, Evil Spirits, and Demon Spirits. They can advance to Ghost Kings, Ghost Rulers, and Ghost Emperors. With every level up of the skill, the level of the undead that can be controlled +1.]
[Method of control and quantity: Undead Spirit. Choose a compatible Undead Spirit. You can order them to hide in the equipment and summon them at any time. From Rank 1 to Rank 9, Undead Spirit requires 10/30/50/80/100/120/150/180/200 Spiritual Power to control. All kinds of Ghost Kings require 500 Spiritual Power. Ghost Ruler consumes 2,000 Spiritual Power. Ghost Emperor consumes 5,000 Spiritual Power!]
[Damage Effect: A Rank 1 undead corresponds to a Rank 1 soul, causing corresponding soul damage. It can even cause fear, confusion, weakness, and other negative effects. Every summon consumes mana corresponding to Spiritual Power.]
[Backlash: If the controlled undead consume more than half of the user’s Spiritual Power, the user might be devoured by the undead. You have to eliminate all the controlled undead, or you will die!]
‘Good God!’
This was the ultimate skill of a necromancer.
It was actually an undead control spell!
Previously, Lin Chen had neglected this skill.
After all, he was a Celestial.
Even though Celestials could also learn this forbidden spell, Lin Chen always felt that he relied on true strength. Learning this skill did not increase his strength much, and… he still had to find undead everywhere.
It was very troublesome!
But now, Lin Chen noticed an attribute of this forbidden spell… Undead could exist forever until Lin Chen let them go to the afterlife.
Moreover, the undead could be nurtured by him to level up!
Most importantly, the damage dealt by the undead was to directly attack the enemy’s soul…
There was no longer a question of whether it was a magic attack or a physical attack.
Lin Chen felt that he could do something!
He immediately chose to learn.
Moreover, he directly used the remaining skill points to upgrade this skill to Level 3.
Coupled with the enhancement effect of the equipment, Lin Chen’s Undead Eternal Life Forbidden Spell skill had now reached level 8.
In other words, he could control Rank 8 undead.
In that case, where should he go to find undead?
The souls of the dead people of the Blue Planet were probably the most abundant on the current Blue Planet.
However, Lin Chen did not have the time to find the undead.
Because…
In the sky above Sky Moon City, a grand airship team arrived.
De Castle!
One could see Demille standing at the front of the airship. When he arrived above Sky Moon City, Demille immediately shouted loudly, “Lin Chen, let my son go! Otherwise, I will wipe out the entire Sky Moon City today!”
Demille’s aura was imposing.
From his voice, it seemed that his strength was not inferior to Gold Spear…
Rank two, peak God Apostle Golden Spear!
