Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 57: 3 Major Topics, Contribution Points Soar!

Coming to his senses, Fangzhou added, "As for the lack of skills, I will do my best to develop them."

I deduced the Bone-type skills from the skeletons.

Following this logic, could we deduce putrefactive skills from zombies, flesh-and-blood skills from vampires, and soul-and-spirit skills from ghosts, and so on?

However, these are all things to consider later, and require a certain level of strength to support them.

At this stage, the focus is still on perfecting the skeletal skill tree.

Su Xinyan nodded; she naturally agreed with Fang Zhou's statement.

She then asked, "And what about the third issue you mentioned, the corruption of the body by necromancy? How can this be resolved?"

Fang Zhou countered, "Instructor Su doesn't seem to have this problem. How did you solve it?"

Su Xinyan waved her hand and said, "My method cannot be replicated and has little reference value."

My father sought out many rare and precious treasures from the mythical world when I was born to nourish my body, which barely neutralized the corrosive power of the necromantic forces.

Ordinary necromancers simply don't have this requirement.

Tsk, having a legendary father makes you so willful.

Upon hearing Su Xinyan's answer, Fang Zhou truthfully replied, "I don't have any ideas for the time being."

He himself was naturally not worried about this problem, after all, he had a skeleton clone that could infinitely replenish his attributes, so he didn't care about the necromancy eroding his physical body.

However, if the necromancer class is to truly become great, this corruption problem definitely needs to be solved.

At this moment, Su Xinyan stood up and handed Fang Zhou a document.

"This is the project approval form. You can apply for a maximum of three projects at the same time."

According to what you just said, the first task is to improve the necromancer's meditation method.

The second task is to develop a skeletal skill tree.

The third topic, if you don't have any ideas, I suggest you consider developing general skills.

If we can develop highly practical and versatile skills from the necromancer's class abilities, it will powerfully demonstrate the class's potential, significantly increase our influence, and thus garner more resource support.

Su Xinyan was experienced in this area, so Fang Zhou naturally had no reason to refuse her.

Regarding the development direction of general skills, he quickly thought of the many physically disabled instructors he had met at the Haicheng Military Academy over the past month, and said, "Instructor Su, what do you think about making the third project focus on strengthening the human skeleton?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Your idea is good. It's better than my previous one, cough cough, it's the same idea I had before."

You have also met instructors like Chen Qingshan and Shen Hongyu who retired due to injuries. Although they received treatment from the "Pastor," their lost limbs could not be restored and they could only be fitted with mechanical prosthetics.

Both their cultivation and combat abilities were greatly affected.

If you can deduce universal skills that strengthen or even restore human skeletons from the Bone-based skills, that would be fantastic news for all Allied soldiers.

That's exactly what Fangzhou thought too.

Instructors like Chen Qingshan and Shen Hongyu are heroes of the People's Liberation Army. After retiring due to injuries, they can only serve as instructors in military academies to continue contributing their expertise.

If a universal skill for limb regeneration can be successfully developed, allowing them to regain their health and combat capabilities, it will be of great benefit to both individual Ark members and the Human Alliance as a whole.

Of course, this is extremely difficult.

But Fangzhou was confident that as long as he had enough skill materials, with his efforts and a little help from the attribute panel, he could overcome any difficulty.

Afterwards, Fangzhou consulted Su Xinyan about some details of applying for research projects. Under her guidance, he submitted three project application forms from his personal terminal and uploaded some preliminary results.

Soon, Ark received a reply.

In the meditation project, the [Skeleton King Meditation Method] successfully passed the results acceptance. In addition to the original reward of 100 contribution points, it also received an additional 50% research fund reward, totaling 150 contribution points.

In the Skeleton Skill Tree project, both [Skeleton Arrow Rain] and [Skeleton Wings] received 150 contribution points each.

The previously uploaded Ark items, including [Bone Spear], [Bone Shield], [Bone Shackles], and [Dominate Skeleton], have each been compensated with 50 contribution points as a research fund reward.

What surprised Fangzhou even more was that the apprentice-level skill materials he had previously exchanged from the Human Alliance skill library for deriving skeletal skills, such as [Fireball], [Touch of Corrosion], [Aging Ray], and [Mana Dash], were all refunded with 50% of their contribution points through the public expense reimbursement process.

Eleven apprentice-level skill materials were returned, totaling 55 contribution points.

After this series of actions, Ark's accumulated contribution points surged from 500 to 1250.

Looking at the huge amount of contribution points displayed on their personal terminals, not to mention Fang Zhou, even Su Xinyan, a legendary woman and a gold-level expert, couldn't help but part her pink lips slightly and widen her eyes.

Of course, 1000 contribution points are nothing to Su Xinyan right now.

But back in the day, when she was just a junior apprentice, her contribution points totaled no more than double digits.

Looking at the majestic and serene Fang Zhou in front of her, Su Xinyan, who always held herself in high esteem, was unexpectedly overcome with a sense of jealousy.

Hmph, the new generation always surpasses the old!

It seems that I, the old wave, am really going to be swept away by the new wave, Fangzhou.

She gritted her teeth inwardly, forced a smile, and asked, "Fangzhou, how do you plan to spend these contribution points?"

At this moment, Fangzhou had already suppressed his excitement.

He humbly said, "Before breaking through to the Black Iron level, I should find it difficult to deduce any new skeletal skills."

Therefore, although these contribution points are numerous, they are non-renewable.

"Could Instructor Su please teach me how to maximize the use of these contribution points?"

Su Xinyan clearly appreciated Fang Zhou's respectful attitude towards his teacher.

She narrowed her eyes, carefully considered Fang Zhou's needs, and replied, "First of all, naturally we need to exchange for a large number of apprentice-level skill materials according to the needs of the project."

For example, while your [Bone Spear] is already quite good, there is still room for improvement in terms of skill power, range, and mental energy consumption.

If one can learn from the mature attack skills of other magic classes, such as [Wind Blade], [Ice Lance], and [Earth Spear], and make up for one's own weaknesses, one will definitely gain a significant improvement.

Similarly, while your [Bone Shield] provides good defense against direct attacks, it is ineffective against indirect attacks such as the Abyss Child's Devouring Spell talent.

This can also be seen in the skills of other magic classes. I remember that the [Telekinesis] class has a [Telekinetic Shield] skill, which can make up for this deficiency.

The same applies to skills like [Bone Shackles], [Bone Arrow Rain], and [Bone Wings].

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?"
