"Are you willing to gift it to me?"
Lin Fan asked Lan Paofu.
"Haha."
Lan Paofu rolled her eyes at Lin Fan.
"How could it be a gift for you?
"I want your help. I can only give it to you after."
"Help?"
Lin Fan was still confused.
"Well.
"On the Sunny Shoal outside the city, there are many sea demonic creatures. They were originally ordinary seafood, but they were affected by special spiritual power, becoming more aggressive and posing a threat to humans.
"One of the pieces of news I received was that there's a huge Deep-sea White Clam beside the shipwreck.
"There's a large pearl inside that's worth 200,000, but it is very difficult to obtain it through ordinary methods.
"Because…
"It's not easy for ordinary human professionals to get close to that place. Even if they can get close, the huge clam will close once it senses the aura of life. Moreover, its location is below the shipwreck ruins. In short, it's very difficult to obtain it.
"However, Lin Fan, your profession is [Necromancer]. An undead creature won't easily alarm that clam. You can go and help me retrieve the pearl. After that, I'll give this scroll to you. "
Lan Paofu answered.
"What do you say? Do you want to do it or not?"
"Since you said so…
"Of course, I have to try.
"However…"
Lin Fan frowned as he thought of something.
"However, your scroll is of an unknown level. Does that mean that it could be a very ordinary skill?"
(Skill rarity: Poor, Normal, Medium, Good, Excellent, Epic, Legendary, Divine)
"Mm…"
Lan Paofu pondered for a moment.
"There's indeed such a possibility. That'll depend on your luck, but…
"Under normal circumstances, it's not easy for a Summoner's profession to grow. It's good to have an additional skill. As long as your luck isn't too bad...
"Speaking of which, with my profession, I could've chosen to go through the summoning stream, but after some thought, I decided not to."
"Why?"
Lin Fan was puzzled.
According to his experience, being a Necromancer was very comfortable.
In a dungeon, he just had to walk slowly.
His skeletons would be in front of him and solve all the problems.
"That's because the summoning stream has a weakness, which is that you'll be more fragile!" Lan Paofu was a little speechless.
It was as if she thought that Lin Fan did not even know about this and was a little ignorant.
"Did you skip school? Don't you usually listen carefully in class?" Lan Paofu sized Lin Fan up in confusion.
"Ahem."
Lin Fan coughed.
In fact, his grades were among the best in class. That said, he had no impression of the thing that Lan Paofu had just mentioned.
Perhaps it was because he had the talent to let his summoned creatures take damage for him, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Then, should we start the mission now?"
Lin Fan asked.
"There's no rush."
Lan Paofu said with a smile.
"By the way, you came to the guild for a mission so early. Isn't the school afraid that they'll..."
Nonetheless, she thought of something and did not finish her sentence.
"But that's true, there's still some time before the college entrance exam. A professional who has just awakened is already at Level 10, so you're quite a genius. If I were a teacher at the recruitment office of Qingbei University, Modan University, or Xuanwu University, I might even want to enroll you in advance."
"Is that so?"
Lin Fan was confused.
This was a little different from the initial reaction of his teachers and classmates.
According to his records, Necromancers were very rare.
There were only three of them including him, and one of them had gone crazy. There were not many related career advancement guides, etc. Should they not be worried that he would die midway?
"Hehe, maybe it's because I have a hidden profession."
Lin Fan nodded his head.
Indeed.
It was also rare to see a Blood Mage.
The next day.
The two of them met at the beach outside the city.
There were other teams here, but they were complete four-man teams.
Lin Fan and Lan Paofu were a two-man team.
Initially, Lin Fan was curious as to why the other party was being so arrogant, but then, he understood.
Lan Paofu's [Blood Mage] skill was [Blood Spear Art] and [Blood Thorns].
One long-range, one short-range.
She had also brought some mana potions with her.
Lin Fan came empty-handed, which surprised Lan Paofu.
That was because Lin Fan had used a skill to summon his own skeleton.
[Skeleton Soldier (Level 10)]
[Strength: 1000]
[Agility: 1000]
[Spirit: 1000]
[Defense: 1000]
[Mana: 1000]
[Skill: White Bone Armor (Level 10), Undetermined]
[White Bone Armor: Surrounded by 4 rotating bones. All damage received by the Death Knight will be reduced by 40%, and all damage dealt by attacks will be increased by 2% in the presence of any white bone. Every time a spell or physical attack is received, a white bone will be devoured. Lasts for 5 minutes.]
[Knight Bone Skeleton Soldier (Level 10)] automatically advanced to [Skeleton Knight (Level 10)]
[Knight Bone talent in effect: Able to advance to Death Knight]
[Do you wish to advance?]
"Yes!"
Lin Fan was a little shocked, but he still chose to level up.
In an instant.
The Skeleton Soldier in front of him turned into a Skeleton Knight riding a White Skeleton Horse, and then it changed again.
A suit of armor appeared on its body, and its eyes were filled with dark blue light.
It was hidden in the helmet, making it impossible to see its face clearly.
The Skeleton Horse was also covered in armor, and there were two long horns on its head. Its eyes also had two green phosphorous fires.
Lan Paofu was stunned.
[Choose Death Knight's skill branch/equipment rune: Evil, Blood Devil, Frost?]
There were three types of runes: Blood Rune, Frost Rune, and Evil Rune.
Different skills required different runes or combinations of runes to cast.
After using a rune, one would need to wait for the rune's cooldown to end before one can use it again.
The main branch had to be chosen at the moment.
Lin Fan chose the "Evil" rune first.
The Blood Devil line mainly focused on weapons and enhanced attacks.
The Evil line mainly focused on spells, diseases, and summoning.
The Frost line was mainly focused on control and counter-control.
Lin Fan chose the Evil line first because he saw the first skill after choosing it.
The Blood Devil line was [Blood Mark], which could mark the enemy with a mark, causing continuous damage, and one's HP could be recovered from the opponent's attack.
The Frost line was [Frost Weapon], which meant that the weapon had a frost effect.
The Evil line was [Undead] for 30 seconds.
In this form, one would be immune to all Charm, Fear, and Hypnosis effects. One's frightening appearance would also reduce the accuracy of melee attacks by 25%.
