Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 380 Alchemy and Wealth Accumulation: Black Iron Rank Simulated Battlefield!

Chapter 380 Alchemy and Wealth Accumulation: Black Iron Rank Simulated Battlefield!

Each artifact grants two spellcasting attempts per day, which is sufficient for Ark to survive emergency escapes in future combat missions.

These strange items not only greatly enhanced his survivability, but also provided him with more tactical options on the battlefield.

As for the fifth artifact, the Bone Warhorse Reins, it is an artifact that the Ark has successfully inscribed into the artifact based on the summoning of undead mounts deduced by Master Sandro and Sylvanas.

Under the guidance of Instructor Su Xinyan, Fangzhou successfully crafted this universal artifact.

The skeletal warhorse reins may not provide any powerful bonuses to mages in direct combat, but it was an important experiment for Ark, Su Xinyan, Master Sandru, and other necromancers.

The 【Bone Warhorse Reins】 are inscribed with the 【Summon Undead Mount】 skill, a variant of the common mage skill 【Summon Mage Mount】.

Compared to the previous four artifacts specifically made for necromancers, the most unique feature of the Skeleton Warhorse Reins is that it has no restrictions on its use.

Not only magic users of other attributes, but even ordinary combat users can purchase and use this skeleton warhorse reins.

Therefore, according to Master Sandru and Instructor Su Xinyan's estimates, this kind of skeletal warhorse reins will definitely be very popular among professionals below the Black Iron level.

For professionals who have experienced long marches, the fatigue and hardship brought about by long journeys are unbearable.

Therefore, almost every professional with practical combat needs would be willing to buy a skeleton warhorse rein to reduce the pressure of marching.

As Fangzhou and others analyzed earlier, the skeletal warhorse, as an undead creature, has the powerful advantage of not getting tired and not fearing death compared to other living mounts.

This alone is enough to make the Skeleton Warhorse stand out among the many Iron-tier mage mounts and become the top choice for professionals.

For necromancers like Ark, an even more important point is that, compared to crafting necromancer-specific artifacts, the Skeleton Warhorse Reins only require a small amount of necromancer-attribute alchemy materials as guiding materials to activate the built-in magic circle.

The remaining parts can be replaced with ordinary metal materials.

This greatly reduced the consumption of already extremely rare and precious undead alchemical materials, and also laid the foundation for the large-scale market launch of skeletal warhorse reins.

If each artifact, like those exclusive to necromancers, required a large amount of necromancy-attribute alchemy materials that were also extremely precious to the Ark to craft, then the Ark would never be able to mass-produce them for profit.

Of course, alchemical artifacts with such specialized skills cannot yet be mass-produced on an assembly line.

Currently, only Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan, two members of the necromancer research group, possess the ability to craft reins for skeletal warhorses.

As a necromancer of the lower rank of Gold, Su Xinyan's time is extremely precious.

Apart from personally crafting a few times as a demonstration to guide Ark in getting started, she never participated in the actual crafting process of the skeletal warhorse reins again.

Therefore, most of the production tasks fell on Ark's shoulders, which also meant that Ark needed to shoulder more responsibility and pressure to meet market demand.

Based on the current level of novice alchemists in Ark, it would take approximately 100 contribution points of alchemy raw materials to craft a skeleton warhorse rein.

Most of the expenditure is on rare undead-attribute alchemy materials.

Considering the opening costs of the Alchemy Workshop and the manpower and time costs of the Ark itself, the cost of a Skeleton Warhorse Reins is approximately 200 contribution points.

After consulting with Iron-level students such as Sylvanas, Gu Yueyuan, Liu Diewu, and Yue Pengfei, Ark decided to set the price of the Skeleton Warhorse Reins at 500 contribution points.

It's not that he's heartless; it's just that legal professionals often make money in such a brutal way.

In fact, this is also a result of technological monopoly.

Because the [Summon Undead Mount] skill was jointly developed by Master Sandro and Sylvanas, the patent rights are held by them.

After obtaining their authorization, Fangzhou and Instructor Su Xinyan developed a universal artifact that could inscribe this skill into a magic array.

It can be said that at this stage, there is only one place that can refine the reins of the skeletal warhorse; there is no other choice.

Of course, to be fair, the price of 500 contribution points might be very expensive for an average Iron-level professional.

However, Fangzhou himself didn't really value this contribution point reward.

What he was really concerned about was whether he could exchange the skeletal warhorse reins for some cultivation resources or undead attribute resources that would be useful to him through barter.

Therefore, Ark did not intend to spend too much effort on crafting the reins for the skeletal warhorse.

He crafted approximately 10 skeletal warhorse reins and posted them on his personal terminal's trading channel, clearly indicating his desire to barter for them.

He adopts a "Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait" attitude, waiting for professionals with needs to come and trade.

Over the past two months, Fangzhou has not only made significant progress in deducing and improving his skills and alchemy level, but also, after breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the lower Iron rank, he has begun to explore the lower Iron rank simulated battlefield of Haicheng Military Academy.

The simulated battlefield in the lower-tier Black Iron level of Haicheng Military Academy is quite unique, with both single-player and team modes.

The single-player mode is available on odd-numbered days, while the group mode is available on even-numbered days.

For Ark, which has already formed an army of one and whose combat power is basically complete, it doesn't matter whether it is single-player mode or team mode.

Moreover, he now has two reliable teammates: Sylvanas, a fellow Dark Iron low-rank undead mage, and Willow Butterfly, a Dark Iron low-rank nature druid.

The three formed the Catastrophe Squad again and made a comeback, sweeping across the entire team simulation battlefield as before, and dominating the top spot on four difficulty levels in a row.

Meanwhile, after several pioneering attempts, Arknights also successfully dominated the leaderboard in the single-player simulation battlefield "Decapitation of the Temptress," once again writing its own legend.

In the Abyss difficulty [Decapitation of the Temptress] simulation battlefield.

A notification popped up on my personal terminal: "Mission issued: Kill the Temptress Commander."

After many previous attempts to clear the game, Ark is already very familiar with this simulated battlefield.

He skillfully turned off the system notifications and looked at the heavily guarded demon camp in front of him, feeling a surge of excitement.

During the first exploration, Ark's own Iron-tier Necromancer skill set was not yet perfect, so the exploration process was quite messy and required some strategy and tactics.

However, things are different now.
