Chapter 294: Chapter 235: Preparing to Head to the Necro Realm_2

“`

“We don’t care, as long as one of us goes and packs up what’s needed to bring back, that’s all right.”

The Fan family four sisters said nonchalantly, they had been immersed in their alchemy laboratory for days on end, practically neglecting sleep and meals.

However, their achievements were indeed delightful, having obtained a large sum of Dragon Coins from Zi Liyuan to purchase tens of thousands of alchemy formulas for first and second order.

Keep in mind, they weren’t exactly favored back at the Fan family, with not so many alchemy resources provided for them.

If it weren’t for the sisters’ telepathy, doubling their efficiency during alchemy, they could never have mastered second order alchemy formulas so quickly.

But they still lacked a lot of accumulation of knowledge in primary alchemy for the first and second order; now that they had obtained a wealth of alchemical knowledge books, they naturally made up for it fiercely.

Especially since Shen Yurou and Number Two had brought them tremendous pressure.

Number Two needs no mentioning, as Zi Liyuan’s first woman, and also a bloodline talent, even more so a formation and puppetry master.

As for Shen Yurou, she is even more formidable. Being a mechanic, who mostly screws bolts in factories like they did, yet she managed to create so many terrifying weapons of mass destruction.

These are weapons that could greatly benefit ordinary professionals!

The four sisters have had their fair share of experiences, exoskeleton armor, automatic attack robots, sniper rifles, machine guns, bombs…

Their levels skyrocketed initially, achieving no-damage monster farming and even farming dungeons beyond their levels, like a cow climbing a tree, an utter marvel!

The most outrageous thing is that Zi Liyuan, that guy, was also indifferent to life and death, getting a little maid is one thing, another whose natural gift made her perfect assassin material.

But what the hell is bringing back a Black Dragon?

This is a dragon lady!

The craziest part is, Zi Liyuan used the ridiculously precious [Heart of the Lord] on this Black Dragon Lord Boss, evolving it into the Black Dragon King, a proper Epic Boss!

Just thinking about how this guy often rode the dragon by day, and also by night, made the four sisters’ teeth itch with rage.

He’s crossed species boundaries!

And is that what the [Heart of the Lord] is supposed to be used for?

This is a treasure that can directly activate the Lord template for third or fourth order professionals who enter the Sea of Realms!

How many medium and small-sized families would like to foster a Sea of Realms Lord and fail to do so?

Yet this guy, throwing down 10 [Heart of the Lord] just to evolve a dragon lady into an Epic Boss!

If one were to speak of this, wouldn’t they fear being beaten to death?

The Fan family four sisters furiously vented in their telepathic network, taking turns to practically condemn Lord Zi as the worst of the worst, a wasteful spender of treasures!

However, when it was mentioned that Zi Liyuan was generous to them as well, with each sister having their own portion of the [Heart of the Lord] gift pack, they couldn’t help but admire Lord Zi’s grand gestures wholeheartedly.

Their own husband was genuinely good to his wives, giving each of them 10 [Heart of the Lord], such a precious treasure.

Unfortunately, the four sisters had no clue how to use it yet and could only temporarily store it in their Spatial Backpacks to collect dust.

Nevertheless, the equality shown to wives and concubines still reassured the Fan family four sisters.

But it also filled the four sisters with a sense of crisis, as their roles were far less significant than those of Number Two and Shen Yurou.

Even considering Sikong You, the little maid’s growth, she might surpass them in helping Zi Liyuan in the future.

Therefore, they wanted to quickly advance to become alchemy masters and grandmasters!

They needed to be better at assisting Zi Liyuan; they didn’t want to end up marginalized and become a burden that held Zi Liyuan back!

“Since that’s the case, Fan Yuer, you get ready what we need to take, and we’ll set out tomorrow.”

Patting the perky backside of the jade figure hanging on his body, Lord Zi decisively stood up, then left the manor and directly teleported to the Treasure Pavilion.

Since he decided to explore the Necro Realm, he had to make thorough preparations.

As for how the Dragon Academy’s headmaster would arrange it, that was none of his concern.

“`

He was just a Third Order LV80 underling, how was he qualified to worry about the matters that top dogs of the Great Xia Empire should care about?

Arriving at the Treasure Pavilion, Lord Zi began to selectively choose the items he needed with a clear goal in mind.

Now, with plenty of Contribution Value in hand, he naturally aimed for the best items.

Fourth Order guardian scrolls? Start with ten sticks and go from there!

All sorts of red and blue potions, various support elixirs, all chosen for Fourth Order quality, the main focus being one word— money’s no object!

Potions, food, scrolls, items… one by one he placed them into his shopping cart.

It wasn’t until he got his hands on ten sticks of the top Fourth Order Secret Realm exit scrolls that he concluded this lavish shopping spree.

Checking out at the window, he spent a mere million Contribution Value, equivalent to the value of five Epic Beast Boss corpses, easy peasy.

The lavish Lord Zi managed to make the working senior sister who exchanged his items green with envy, but recalling Zi Liyuan’s fearsome name, envy was all that remained.

Who let this guy be so outrageously strong? He had just joined Dragon Academy, and he practically single-handedly subdued his classmates from the same year, nearly smashing through the sophomore rankings soon after.

It won’t be long, they believed, before this fierce person advances to Fourth Order and then the overall Dragon Academy rankings might just experience a major shake-up.

Having exchanged for the items he wanted, Zi Liyuan didn’t linger and started heading back to the manor to rest, while simultaneously sending an inquiry to General Huang.

His advancement to Fourth Order Lord Level was imminent; he had to urge old Huang to hurry up and prepare what he needed for the upgrade.

“Can’t you keep still for just a bit?”

Soon, General Huang’s video call came through, with a clearly annoyed demeanor.

“No, Old Huang, I was just nudging about the Fourth Order Lord Level advancement items. How does that translate to me not being able to keep still?”

Lord Zi, looking confused and vexed, stared at the irritated old Huang and asked.

“The situation at the Necro Realm in Jiangnan Province, wasn’t it you who reported it? Now the military’s control is insufficient, aren’t you just adding trouble for them?”

As the location of the Imperial Capital, Shenglong State naturally had ample military forces stationed, but some of the larger provinces on the borders had troops pulled from several of Great Xia Empire’s interior provinces.

In Jiangnan Province, a significant portion of the troops were redeployed, and now they barely maintained control of the province’s wilderness with a mainly defensive posture.

“How is that my fault? I’m helping the Great Xia Empire to defuse a crisis; such a great merit and you complain, utterly unjust, I’ve made contributions and shed blood for Great Xia Empire, this is too disheartening!”

Lord Zi wore an unabashed look, his every sentence sticking to his own merits, which made Old Huang watching him want to rush over and give him a good beating.

“You brat, the old man just mumbled a few complaints and you’re acting like it’s life or death.

Hmph, the thing you’ve asked for, don’t be in such a hurry, it will be arranged for you as quickly as possible.”

Facing this insufferable Zi kid, General Huang was also suffering from a severe headache.

Especially since Liu Guozhong’s report indicated that by using the army’s resources, this kid had forged a new career for the Mechanical Race, making it an extremely thorny issue for him.

If it weren’t for his guarantee, and the intervention of the Dragon Academy’s Chancellor affirming there was no danger, where would this troublemaker be now, able to develop peacefully at Dragon Academy?

“Can I not be anxious? Today, the Chancellor scared me out of my wits; I was nearly scared half to death. Now, I’m eagerly awaiting the things you promised so that I can complete my advancement task.”

Not to talk about immediately boosting my strength to stand up to the Chancellor, but at least I should have the power to resist when facing the other four old men and women, right?

“You kid, why are you so obsessed with pursuing strength? I’ll inform the guys below to expedite the preparation of your items, one month at most, alright?”

With an air of irritation, General Huang made a commitment, his face, which originally showed helplessness, now looked solemn.

“How many [Hearts of the Lord] do you still have on hand? Don’t try to pull the wool over the old man’s eyes; I want to hear the truth,” he demanded.

The inquiries and conjectures of Liu Guozhong had naturally been reported to him.

The Great Xia Empire’s army needed a large number of [Hearts of the Lord] to cleanse the middle to high-level monster nests that had emerged at the borders.

Temporarily requisitioning these would slow down many industries’ development; currently, possibly only this Zi kid could produce a large number of [Hearts of the Lord].
