Chapter 1275 - 1273: Contracted Undead

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1273: Contracted Undead

After hurriedly explaining everything, Gu Xi quickly left Yalidov City.

Just as Gu Xi mentioned, he planned to take a turn around the Human Market to see if there were any suitable corpses for making Contracted Undead.

This was something Gu Xi confirmed with several senior brothers.

Over eighty percent of the Contracted Undead under them came from here.

Most importantly, they would prepare the Contract Scrolls based on the player’s level.

This was better than the players making Contracted Undead according to their own level and Undead Contract Level.

If the payment was sufficient, the boss there would even select the most suitable corpses for the players and determine the direction of the Contracted Undead.

This point was fully endorsed by Gu Xi’s senior brothers.

They even introduced a relatively good corpse dealer to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi went there this time to find him.

After leaving the community, Gu Xi glanced at the spot of the morning’s accident at the bus stop.

The bus involved in the earlier accident had already been towed away.

The crash site’s debris was cleaned up, yet for some reason, Gu Xi felt something eerie there.

While waiting for the bus, Gu Xi squinted his eyes, allowing the sight from the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe to see further.

He noticed several streams of fortune being injected into the accident site.

Following the source of the fortune, Gu Xi discovered several Nidans were standing on the overpass and nearby corners, each holding something resembling a candle, from which the fortune was emanating.

These streams of fortune gradually turned into evil qi as they infiltrated the accident site, invisible to the normal eye, but Gu Xi, using the vision of the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe, could clearly see them forming a dragon shape.

The dragon form had no scales, and its eyes were bright red, evidently a fierce dragon.

It was clearly looking to pinpoint and attack the enemy of the Nidans.

Although Gu Xi did not believe this was related to him, he did not want his own fortune to be disturbed, so he discreetly let out the White Bone Obelisk immediately.

After thinking for a bit, Gu Xi still felt uneasy and simply placed a Linen Pocket in the inner pocket of his black robe.

Just then, the bus arrived, and after checking the route was correct, Gu Xi got on the bus.

He was unaware that before he took out the Linen Pocket, the strange dragon had already fixed its gaze on him, unexpectedly, upon the appearance of the Linen Pocket, it seemed as if Gu Xi disappeared, and the peculiar dragon shifted its gaze elsewhere.

As the bus quickly moved away, the unease in Gu Xi’s heart gradually faded.

However, Gu Xi did not put the White Bone Obelisk away, he continued holding it as he proceeded towards the Human Market.

Upon arriving at the Human Market, Gu Xi finally put everything away and blended into the crowd.

Entering the Human Market, Gu Xi found it to be unusually clean, with not a drop of water on the ground nor any blood scent in the air. It resembled a bustling large-scale warehouse supermarket.

Gu Xi glanced around and shifted his gaze to a storefront not far away.

The storefront looked unimpressive, with just over ten rows of iron shelves inside, and the sign merely read ’Store 301.’

However, Gu Xi had heard some information from his senior brother that the boss here had a good relationship with Gong Lingyu, and some of Gong Lingyu’s special undead were purchased here.

Gong Lingyu’s students would come here for business as well.

Gu Xi took a look around, confirming he hadn’t mistaken the place, then strode in.

As soon as he entered, the service staff in the store noticed Gu Xi and gathered around him.

"Customer, what do you need?

We have everything here, all fresh corpses newly transported from the game.

Suitable for resurrection, Undead Transformation, or making Contracted Undead."

"Can you have your boss come out to talk?"

Gu Xi glanced at the service staff and realized they were all players.

"Customer, just tell us what you need."

Hearing what Gu Xi said, the service staff became anxious, as this was a good deal for which they could get a commission.

If Gu Xi spoke to the boss directly, they would lose the commission.

Just as Gu Xi was about to say more, a chubby young man walked out from the back of the store.

The young man appeared quite youthful, but as he walked out, there were clearly two Combat Auras on the ground.

It was obvious that this chubby fellow’s level was above Level 40.

In the deeper parts of the game world, such a level could readily start a Creation event.

Yet in Yin City, he was merely an ordinary merchant.

The chubby man first assessed Gu Xi, then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You’re Teacher Gong’s new disciple, right? I was wondering when you would come. Please, come this way.

My name is Lu Xi, but you can call me Lu Qi.

I was the seventh disciple Teacher Gong took in before he started taking graduate students.

However, I didn’t work hard at the time, and didn’t progress together with them.

I only reached Level 40 and then lacked the drive to go further.

I’m only running a small business here.

Though I’m not one of the students Teacher Gong took after starting graduate courses,

you can still be considered my junior brothers, so when you come to me, consider it your home. How about it, anything caught your eye? If not, I can recommend some good ones."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lu!"

Upon hearing Lu Xi’s self-introduction, Gu Xi knew what to do.

He first bowed, then said to Lu Xi, "Senior Brother Lu, I’m here to pick out some for making Contracted Undead. Are there any good recommendations you have here, and I’d like to get a few Contract Scrolls too."

"No problem, what level are you now?"

"Level 11."

"And the level of the Undead Contract?"

"Level 4!"

Gu Xi said somewhat embarrassedly, as his Undead Contract Level hadn’t increased.

"And how many Contracted Undead do you have?" Lu Xi continued to ask.

"Four."

"From Level 1 as an Undead Mage, every two levels you automatically get an Undead Position slot, as long as you have the Contract Scroll and pick a suitable corpse.

At Level 11, you can have a total of six Contracted Undead.

Upon mastering the Undead Contract skills, you gain one slot for Contracted Undead, followed by further enhancements specifically for Contracted Undead. Only at crucial nodes like Level 5, Level 10, Level 15, and such, will more Undead Positions be added for Contracted Undead.

Given the current situation, Junior Brother, you can contract three more Contracted Undead."

Gu Xi thought for a moment, "Then help me get a few Contract Scrolls first, and let’s look at the corpses. If there are suitable ones, I’ll contract two, if not, at least one."
