Chapter 15

Furthermore, its power is based on the corpse's health points.

Lin Moyu could understand this concept of corpse health points.

In the eyes of a Necromancer, corpses also possess life.

Their life comes from flesh and blood, from bones, and even from the soul.

Even in death, the health points within a corpse are not necessarily less than when it was alive.

Just like some powerful beings whose corpses do not decay for thousands of years after death, and instead continue to emit tremendous energy.

Yet, Lin Moyu saw a different kind of information in this.

This was an area-of-effect skill; if he were facing thousands of enemies, he could not just rely on his Skeleton Warrior to hack them down one by one.

That would be far too slow.

At that point, as long as one enemy was killed…

…he could then trigger Corpse Explosion to deal damage to enemies within the skill's range.

More enemies would be blown to death, creating more corpses.

Then he could continue detonating corpses, one after another.

As long as his mental strength did not run out, the skill would never stop.

And with his talent, was a 1-meter range even an issue?

Now it had reached 20 meters, and the damage output had reached 200%.

Another god-tier skill!

As long as his talent existed, almost all of his skills were god-tier.

The scroll's light faded away.

Ning Yiyi blinked her large eyes, looking full of anticipation. "How is it? How is it? Did you learn a new skill?"

"I learned it."

Lin Moyu did not blame Ning Yiyi for teasing him earlier.

Ning Yiyi was just playful and mischievous; as a grown man, he was not petty enough to mind.

Ning Yiyi laughed happily. "Your voice is so nice. Why don't you like to talk? It's really such a pity."

Lin Moyu looked at her. This girl seemed different from all the other girls at his school.

She was very lively and loved to play.

"Your voice is also very nice."

It was rare for Lin Moyu to compliment someone.

He was not unwilling to speak; he just did not like to speak nonsense.

In front of his sister, Lin Mohan, and his grandmother, he talked quite a bit.

Ning Yiyi looked very happy and giggled, "Thanks for the compliment. I also know my voice is very nice."

"In consideration of the fact that you saved me and complimented me, I will give this to you."

As she spoke, Ning Yiyi took out a box and shoved it directly into Lin Moyu's hand.

[Intermediate Skill Scroll]

[Description: Can awaken skills between level 40 and level 70. There is a chance to obtain a skill already learned.]

In the exchange, the price of an Intermediate Skill Scroll could reach as high as 10 million gold coins, a full 100 times that of a Primary Skill Scroll.

The price was exorbitant, and it was very precious.

At least to the current Lin Moyu, it was an astronomical price!

Ning Yiyi had said that the people chasing her were also after this scroll.

How could she just give it away like that?

Chapter 21: Can You Not Be So Petty

"Why is it so cold?"

Ning Yiyi said as she sat down in front of the campfire, stretching out her small hands to warm them.

Now that the people pursuing her had been dealt with, Ning Yiyi relaxed completely.

Lin Moyu knew that the low temperature here was due to the Skeleton Warrior.

He immediately had the Skeleton Warrior move away.

Ning Yiyi already knew that Lin Moyu did not like to talk, so she simply started talking to herself.

"I found a fortuitous treasure chest in the Karmen Orc Legion camp in Shaohai City."

"You know, these kinds of treasure chests appear randomly, and I just happened to find it."

"I opened the treasure chest and obtained this Intermediate Skill Scroll."

"I did not expect those guys to see it."

"They wanted to snatch my Intermediate Skill Scroll. Although this thing is not worth much, there is no way I was going to easily hand over something I worked so hard to get."

"So they chased me, and I ran."

"I ran for two days, from Shaohai City all the way to Xihai City. Don't you think they are annoying? Like bedbugs."

From Ning Yiyi's words, it was clear that even an Intermediate Skill Scroll worth 10 million gold coins was not taken seriously by her.

He did not know which wealthy family this young lady came from; he could only say she was too rich.

Lin Moyu looked at Ning Yiyi, and only after she had finished speaking did he say softly, "You almost died just now."

Ning Yiyi said, "Don't worry. I cannot die. When I receive fatal damage, I will be automatically teleported away."

"But I still have to thank you. If it were not for you just now, even though I would not have died, I definitely would have been injured."

"You have to know, getting hurt is very painful, and Yiyi is most afraid of pain."

Fine, Lin Moyu felt that his worry was unnecessary.

She had treasures; she could not die.

Ning Yiyi reached out her hand. "I already gave you the Intermediate Skill Scroll. Do you have anything else to eat? I am still not full."

Lin Moyu took out a few steamed buns; they were spoils of war from earlier, totaling over a dozen.

Ning Yiyi shook her little head. "I do not want buns, I want sweet potatoes."

Lin Moyu could not help but smile, and he swapped the buns for sweet potatoes.

"That is more like it. I do not want to eat things from dead people." Ning Yiyi took the sweet potato and began to eat it happily.

Are these sweet potatoes that delicious?

Watching the way Ning Yiyi was eating, it seemed like they really were delicious.

"Lin the Dork, did you come here to level up? Looking at your level, you probably have not gone to a higher academy yet, right?"

Ning Yiyi asked while eating.

Lin Moyu nodded. "No."

Ning Yiyi was already used to Lin Moyu's way of speaking. "Then which higher academy do you plan to apply to?"

"Xiajing Academy." Lin Moyu said softly.

"Hmm, Xiajing Academy is very good." Hearing Xiajing Academy, Ning Yiyi did not seem surprised at all.

In her view, with Lin Moyu's strength, he would have no problem getting into any academy.

Who else could easily slaughter level 20 Professionals at level 10, and kill three of them at once?

If even Lin Moyu could not get into Xiajing Academy, then presumably no one else could.

Ning Yiyi suddenly thought of something, her eyes shining. "If you go to Xiajing Academy, remember to challenge their Shenxia Tower."

"Also, for the first challenge, the rewards can be doubled. You should try your best to push up; the higher the level you reach, the better."

"That way, you will have more points. In Xiajing Academy, points are more useful than gold coins."

"Also, also, there is a Chuangshen Academy within Xiajing Academy. If you can, you must get in."

Ning Yiyi seemed to know a lot about Xiajing Academy, and she talked incessantly to Lin Moyu about the situation at the academy.

Through her words, Lin Moyu began to form a general outline of Xiajing Academy in his mind.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, it was Ning Yiyi doing the talking, while Lin Moyu just listened, occasionally responding with a word or two.

As Ning Yiyi kept talking, her voice eventually faded away.

Lin Moyu took out a piece of clothing to use as a blanket for Ning Yiyi, and then he began to meditate.

The next day, the sunlight spilled down.

Lin Moyu's mental strength was full, and he awakened from his meditation.

Ning Yiyi was blinking her large eyes, looking at him.

"Are there any more sweet potatoes?"

Ning Yiyi reached out her hand with a grin.

Lin Moyu directly took out a sweet potato and handed it to her.

"Not enough, I want more."

Lin Moyu took out another one.

0 —Asking for flowers—

"Can you not be so petty? It is just sweet potatoes, can you not give me a few more?"

"Yes, yes, yes, a man should be generous. Bring them all, bring them all here."

Lin Moyu gave almost all of the twenty-plus sweet potatoes he had on him to Ning Yiyi, leaving none for himself.

"Really gone?" Ning Yiyi still did not believe him, looking as if she wanted to crawl into Lin Moyu's storage space.

Lin Moyu nodded. "Really gone."

Only then did Ning Yiyi let Lin Moyu off the hook. "Alright, alright, I believe you."

"This young lady is leaving. I also need to go level up. Lin the Dork, see you later."

"Hurry up and level up so you can bring me along to level up in the future."

…

Ning Yiyi left very decisively, taking the sweet potatoes and the clothing she had used as a blanket.

After Ning Yiyi left, Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "Bring you along to level up in the future."

After a whole night, the Goblin monsters here still had not appeared.

The monster respawn time was far beyond Lin Moyu's expectations.

He figured it must be because he killed them too quickly.

A faint smell of blood permeated the forest.

Three corpses were lying on the ground.

Lin Moyu looked at the corpses and silently cast the skill he had just learned yesterday.

Corpse Explosion.

Accompanied by a loud explosion, a large patch of trees was blasted to smithereens.

It was not just blown over, but truly blasted into smithereens.

A large crater appeared on the ground, 20 meters in diameter.

The depth also exceeded 10 meters.

The power was quite considerable.
