Chapter 1276 - 1274: Choosing a Target

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1274: Choosing a Target

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Hearing Gu Xi’s question, Lu Xi drawled, "Hey, you, go grab a box of Scrolls first."

"Little Junior Brother, come over here. Tell me what kind of Contracted Undead you want, I’ll pick a good one for you."

"I’ve got a house in Yin City, and I need someone I can trust to stay there and keep an eye on things.

This is the most important thing right now. After all, everyone knows my situation—going back and forth to Yin City all relies on that little home."

"That I can understand. I’ve got a lot of pretty decent corpses here—good figures, and none of them have been modified. They’re all in their original state.

The quality of these corpses is quite good, and their Souls are all still intact.

If it’s for watching a house, I can throw in a set of Culinary Skill and room-cleaning memory.

Once it’s fused in, maybe it won’t be at master-chef level, but it definitely won’t be far off.

Of course, if you’re not satisfied, we’ve got other methods. We’ve got full sets of parts here; we can piece together a complete body for you.

And if you like other Races, we’ve got those too.

Though some of the rarer ones need to be specially hunted down, so you’ll have to wait a bit."

Gu Xi couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that. "Senior Brother, it’s fine, I’m not that extreme. A normal Contracted Undead is enough. I just want someone to help me look after the house.

Of course, if she can be a bit pretty, that’d be great.

As for cooking, they absolutely have to know how. I’m serious.

This Contracted Undead doesn’t need strong Combat Power, but has to be able to cook.

You have no idea how awful the food in the Undead side is.

It’s so bad I really can’t take it anymore.

If I can’t fix this problem this time, I’m seriously moving to some gourmet capital to live."

Listening to Gu Xi rant, Lu Xi burst out laughing.

"So you can’t stand Undead food either, huh.

I knew it—copying a batch of Culinary Skill memories was going to be super useful.

They didn’t believe me, and in the end I’m the only one making money off this.

Don’t worry, your Senior Brother’s got everything. I’ll definitely find you the best memory set."

Just then, Gu Xi tilted his head, speaking mysteriously: "Senior Brother, did my other Senior Brothers also buy their Contracted Undead from you? What did they pick?"

"That’s not really convenient to say."

Lu Xi winked at Gu Xi and pushed open the Warehouse door in the back.

Just then, one of Lu Xi’s clerks came over with a box.

Lu Xi casually took it and passed it into Gu Xi’s hands.

"Here, a little gift from Senior Brother. Not much, just twelve Contract Scrolls.

As an Undead Mage, the higher your Level, the more Contracted Undead you’ll need.

If you run low on Contract Scrolls, just come straight to me."

As the Warehouse doors opened, Gu Xi saw what was inside.

Here lay corpse after corpse, all in different styles.

Each corpse had its own conditions. Gu Xi even saw the tags written beneath them, explaining where the corpse came from, what kind of person it originally was, and what abilities they had.

But what surprised Gu Xi most was—

Among the corpses Lu Xi had collected, the number of animal-type ones was actually quite high.

Here, Gu Xi even saw the corpse of a woman with an elephant’s head.

He had no idea whose tastes were that heavy, to actually want that kind of corpse.

Since Gu Xi’s goal was clear, when Lu Xi brought him in, he bypassed the corpses that obviously had a certain amount of Combat Power and headed toward the back.

At the back, there were masses of clearly much weaker corpses—gold-furred, red-furred, green-furred, white-furred, and hairless.

Gu Xi examined them very seriously and didn’t提出 any requirements.

In Gu Xi’s eyes, as long as she could cook, the requirements for everything else could be lowered.

With so many lined up together, Gu Xi was basically going by "eye feel."

After walking about half a loop, Gu Xi suddenly pointed at one of the corpses.

"I want this one."

Lu Xi laughed as soon as he heard that. "No problem. This one’s from the TXH1SSJEJP5ZGNYX world, originally a Princess, with Flood Dragon and Flame bloodlines in her body.

Level 9, profession Swordsman.

She can be converted into a Zombie, Vampire, Black Knight, or Ghost.

Oh, and she can also be turned into a Skeleton Soldier."

Hearing the term Skeleton Soldier, Gu Xi couldn’t help but chuckle.

Anyone who came here to pick Contracted Undead had zero intention of turning their pick into a Skeleton Soldier.

Even if there were only bones left, you’d at least slap a layer of Painted Skin on it.

Who’d voluntarily scrape all the flesh off.

"She’s the one. Forget about Combat Power and such, she’s exactly what I want..."

"Relax, her Culinary Skill is absolutely top tier, no problem at all."

Lu Xi said with certainty.

As he spoke, that corpse had already been dragged away, dressed in a white robe, and brought to Gu Xi’s side.

This was something Yin City still cared about a lot.

In Yin City, black robes are for Players, and when it comes to dressing corpses, no one chooses to put a Red robe on them.

Once the robe was on, the clerk pushed a little cart and followed behind Gu Xi.

At this point, Gu Xi提出 another request.

"Senior Brother Lu, the quality of your corpses is really good. I also want a corpse with financial management skills.

I need to establish a caravan and handle business dealings with the other Senior Brothers.

Without financial skills, there’s no way to build a caravan."

"That’s easy. The corpses with professional abilities aren’t over here—we have to go to the other side."

When Lu Xi heard that, he thought, with a deal this sweet, of course we’ve got stock.

So he directly led Gu Xi toward the other end of the Warehouse.

On their way over, they just happened to pass through one of the limb Warehouses, filled with all sorts of different limbs and organs.

Clearly, these had all been carefully selected.

But Gu Xi didn’t care about any of that anymore.

He had no interest in assembled products.

Besides, Gu Xi clearly wasn’t the type to get excited just looking at a hand or a foot.

In his mind, detached parts just weren’t that appealing.

Once they entered the "functional" zone, the corpses stored here became obviously more mixed.

There were all kinds of Demon beasts and monsters here; Gu Xi even spotted a Behemoth.

Very soon, Gu Xi was brought to a certain area, and Lu Xi pointed at the corpses there.

"Goblin Tycoon, Human merchant, Turin Consortium, Spirit Fox People... see anything you like?"

Gu Xi took a serious look this time. Unlike before, he didn’t just pick one that "felt right," but carefully examined the details of each corpse.

Especially their Talents and business records.

In the end, Gu Xi’s gaze landed on one particular corpse.

"No way, Senior Brother Lu, you’ve even got this kind of business-oriented corpse?"
