The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 320: Envy (Second Update)

This Magic Puppet is powered by Demon Crystals.

All it needs is to replace with a new Demon Crystal periodically, and it can keep operating indefinitely.

Mage Fang Ka doesn’t lack Demon Crystals at all, after all, there’s a Magic Crystal Vein in the Underground City.

Previously, players had already mined a considerable amount of Demon Crystals.

The Demon Crystals here at Fang Ka’s are endless.

After solving this issue, Fang Ka explained various details to the Magic Puppet. After careful consideration and finding nothing overlooked, he decided not to intervene further.

He then walked over to a nearby lounge chair and began closing his eyes for meditation training.

Later, when new players came to submit their tasks, the Magic Puppet would take the initiative to engage and then settle tasks with them.

The Magic Puppet has a bunch of Magic Arrays inside it, which can establish a connection with Fang Ka’s soul through clever means. After obtaining Fang Ka’s permission, it can establish a secondary connection with those Soul Contracts Fang Ka signed.

In this way, the Magic Puppet can directly settle tasks with players through the Soul Contract.

This is what Fang Ka devised during this period by constantly eavesdropping on dual-class players’ insights and experiences in the Magic Domain, combined with some Magic Arrays left by Kain.

This is not a new creation; it’s somewhat akin to a patchwork.

Using various stitches to achieve his aims.

The effect isn’t actually great; the Magic Puppet can only utilize a small portion of the Magic Contract.

For example, controlling or restricting players is not feasible.

But Fang Ka never intended for the Magic Puppet to handle such tasks.

Such tasks, naturally, he would undertake himself.

He created this patchwork magic array with only one purpose, which is to help share the pressure.

If it can help share pressure, that’s entirely satisfactory.

He never thought of having the Magic Puppet share the rights of the Soul Contracts.

Rights, it’s best to keep them in one’s own hands.

Although the Magic Puppet doesn’t actually have any true thought, just a restricted program.

But no matter what, only what’s truly in one’s hands is reassuring.

This change also sparked much discussion among the twenty thousand new players who recently joined.

"What do you guys think that thing beside Mage Fang Ka actually is? It can emit Mage Fang Ka’s voice and even settle our tasks?"

"I heard from old-timers on the game forum that when they submitted tasks, they directly went to Mage Fang Ka. Why has it changed for us?"

On hearing this player’s question, another player replied, "You seem like you haven’t read many novels or comics. That thing obviously must be a puppet-like entity."

"Probably crafted by Mage Fang Ka? Of course, it’s a game, and this should be a game setting, providing us with a different NPC for submitting tasks."

"Mage Fang Ka is, after all, the protagonist of our camp; constantly dealing with us for task settlements isn’t very appropriate."

"Especially with so many players joining this time. Imagine a crowd surrounding Mage Fang Ka chattering away; it would be quite undignified for Mage Fang Ka."

Upon hearing this player’s words, the surrounding players nodded in agreement.

Another player spoke up, "What you said makes a lot of sense; this looks like a hidden minor update in this large-scale update, not released in announcements, belonging to a subtle change."

"But actually, it doesn’t matter as long as we can submit tasks. As for who the task is submitted to, I think it’s irrelevant."

Upon hearing this player’s remark, the surrounding players all voiced agreement.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

During this month, all the new players on Kain Island had left.

After a month’s effort, they all successfully reached High Tier and evolved into Advanced Undead Creatures.

Currently, a small portion of them remain on the side of the Underground City, while most have left the Underground City to move to other locations.

Especially the two strongholds of Southern Beastman Island and Merfolk Islands were warmly welcomed by the majority of new players.

A full seventy percent of players halted at these two places.

At this moment, Fang Ka also felt it was the right time to start his next plan.

The next plan was none other than initiating an offensive towards the outskirts of the Chaotic Sea Domain.

Then step by step, advancing into the inner area.

This way, he would be able to plunder more and more resources.

In this world, there are indeed quite a few Magic Potions that assist in meditation training.

But such Magic Potions are extremely rare, especially those with better effects, requiring increasingly absurd Magic Materials.

It is worth mentioning that all the formulas for these Magic Potions are in the Underground Library.

Fang Ka didn’t know where Kain got them from, but they were indeed very useful for him.

If he had these Magic Potions, his training speed could elevate to a ridiculous level, and although he wouldn’t match someone like Aiman’s demon-like speed, he could reach a level only slightly inferior.

But the problem is, the ingredients for these Magic Potions are absurd one after another.

So currently, Fang Ka has no way to configure them.

As for the Magic Potion that Xia Lin created from scratch, that was purely a pleasant surprise.

However, because the materials needed for Xia Lin’s original Magic Potion weren’t very precious, the effect of the Magic Potion was also just so-so, merely better than nothing.

Certainly better than having none.

This is completely understandable.

Definitely, the rarer the Magic Materials and the better the Magic Materials, the more absurd the effect of the Magic Potion.

It’s in direct proportion.

One cannot claim some very common, mediocre Magic Materials would produce a Magic Potion that’s incredibly extraordinary; it doesn’t conform to logic, nor could such a scenario occur.

Therefore, Fang Ka expanded his territory not only to consider players, giving them more space to develop but also to plan to plunder resources.

The Chaotic Sea Domain, while indeed chaotic, is equally prosperous.

Various forces here plunder wayfarers heading to the Ten Mother Islands.

Over time, wealth has accumulated to an unknown extent.

And when one force is annihilated and swallowed by another, the wealth doesn’t disappear; it merely transfers.

The amount remains unchanged.

So Fang Ka was actually very envious; previously, due to the small number of players and insufficient strength, he only dared to target the periphery.
