Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 30: Land Reclamation [The Lesser Demon Camp]

"Mission completed, time taken: 1 minutes and 30 seconds, completion rating: [Perfect], reward: 1.5 contribution points."

"First-time completion of [Little Demon Camp] on Easy difficulty, earning 2 contribution points as a first-clear reward."

"Congratulations, Corporal Ark! You are the first student in your grade to clear the [Little Demon Camp] on Easy difficulty. You have earned 5 Contribution Points as the first student to clear the class and received the achievement blessing: Simulated Battlefield loot drop rate +1% (cumulative 2%)."

"Congratulations, Corporal Ark! You have completed the [Little Inferior Demon Camp] on Easy difficulty in 1 minute and 30 seconds, ranking 1st on the all-time speedrun leaderboard. You are expected to receive 3 contribution points as a ranking reward this month."

"Triggered a loot drop, obtained [Apprentice Longsword]*1, which can be exchanged for 5 contribution points."

"After 5 minutes, you can continue to challenge the normal difficulty."

A series of pleasant notification sounds rang in Fangzhou's ears, leaving him somewhat overwhelmed.

First place in the grade!

First in history in speed!

Fang Zhou nodded in satisfaction; everything was as he had anticipated.

He worked hard for a whole month to create such a luxurious attribute panel and skill combination. He didn't believe anyone could be faster than him!

After tallying up the results, excluding the ticket price, the net profit was a whopping 15.5 contribution points.

Although it wasn't a lot, it was only the lowest difficulty dungeon, and Ark was still quite satisfied with these gains.

With five minutes to prepare, he climbed out of the simulator and looked around.

The vast majority of first-year students are still fighting in the simulated battlefield.

There is only one Lesser Demon on the easy difficulty, and it starts in a heavily injured state.

Most trainees, as long as their combat awareness isn't too bad, should be able to handle it.

As Fang Zhou was thinking this, a female student climbed out of the simulator looking dejected.

"What the hell? It's clearly a badly injured little demon, and I can't even hurt it!"

This is so unfair to us support classes!

Well, this girl was clearly eliminated by the Lesser Demon; her strength is worrying.

At that moment, the female student also saw Fang Zhou, and her eyes lit up.

Thank goodness, at least there's a handsome guy at the bottom, so I'm not the first one to be eliminated.

She demurely tossed her hair, intending to get closer to Fang Zhou and lick each other's wounds, when she suddenly saw Fang Zhou turn around and go back into the simulation pod.

She was stunned.

If you're eliminated, aren't you supposed to be forcibly kicked out of the simulator? How come this handsome guy can still get in?

Suddenly, she realized something and looked up sharply at the leaderboard on the big screen.

"1st place, Ark, Necromancer, Apprentice Mid-level (projected strength suppressed to Apprentice Low-level), cleared the level in 1 minute and 30 seconds."

1 minute and 30 seconds? How is that possible?

The female student looked completely incredulous.

I, a terrible student, have met a genius.

The only difference is that the top student completes the game in 1 minute and 30 seconds, while the underachiever is completed in 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Wait, what the heck is "intermediate apprentice level"?!

The female student looked confused. Wasn't Fang Zhou and she both first-year students?

Why has he already broken through to the middle level of apprentice after only one month of awakening?

......

On the training field, the senior students responsible for maintaining order were also staring blankly at the big screen.

1 minute 30 seconds? Breaking through the apprentice mid-range in a month?

Both pieces of news were unbelievable to them.

After a long while, the arrogant male student finally came to his senses and subconsciously said, "It's just easy difficulty, isn't it just because there are a lot of skeletons and they can destroy camps quickly? I could do that too!"

But no one else echoed his words.

The previous number 1 on the all-time speedrun leaderboard was [Flame Dragon Knight] Wenjiu.

But with the help of the young dragon, her time as an apprentice was only 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

With such a large gap, they no longer need to be stubborn.

Meanwhile, in the conference room, the instructors were also discussing the matter animatedly.

Ark easily cleared the game on easy difficulty, which was expected.

But using only 1 minute and 30 seconds seems a bit too exaggerated.

Su Xinyan carefully reviewed the battle recordings projected on the Ark, nodding repeatedly with great satisfaction.

"Ark's proficiency with the [Bone Spear] skill must be very high!"

Judging from the corrosive marks on the lesser demon's wounds, could it be that he's recently improved the Bone Spear?

Lu Hu chimed in, "The number and quality of the skeletons summoned by the Ark have reached the limit for a lower-level apprentice, which is why it was able to dismantle the Lesser Demon camp so quickly."

Chen Qingshan shook his head and sighed, "Even Wen Jiu's record, a girl of heaven, has been broken by Fang Zhou. Truly, new talents emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years!"

At 3 minutes and 40 seconds, Ye Fan successfully passed the level and rose from the coffin.

He climbed out of the simulator and immediately looked toward the location of the Ark.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fangzhou had not yet come out.

It seems that the first pass belongs to Ye Fan!

Then, he looked up at the big screen.

Fangzhou's dazzling achievements immediately caught Ye Fan's eye, causing his expression to change drastically.

1 minute and 30 seconds, that's so much faster than him, how is that possible?!

He's a Demon Hunter who deals extra damage to Abyssal Demons!

And, an apprentice at the intermediate level?!

When Fangzhou was training with him a few days ago, wasn't he still a junior apprentice?

......

Ignoring the storms and turmoil outside, Ark had already spent 2 contribution points to enter the [Lesser Demon Camp] on normal difficulty.

After the familiar dizziness subsided, Ark arrived at the lawn again.

The same roars, the same dilapidated camp.

The only difference was that the little imp was completely unharmed.

"Mission: Slay the enraged Lesser Demons and destroy their camp."

Upon reading the mission description, Fangzhou's heart stirred.

Previously it was "seriously injured," now it is "enraged."

It seems this little lesser demon is much stronger than the last one.

Other trainees might have avoided direct confrontation and used tactical wisdom to slowly wear down this little demon who had lost its mind in a fit of rage.

However, Fang Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Why bother with all that?"

He brandished his staff and uttered a soft cry: "Bone Shackles!"

Several chains formed from solidified bones directly bound the little demon's limbs and wings.

Caught off guard, the little demon charging towards the Ark fell flat on its face.

Seizing the opportunity, Fang Zhou's gaze sharpened, "Bone Spears!"

With a sharp whooshing sound, a bone spear flashed past and pierced the little demon's skull.

However, this little imp is clearly much stronger than the previous one.

Even with his vital organs wounded, he still roared as he tried to pull out the spear.

If one isn't enough, use two.

Fang Zhou snorted coldly, and another skeletal spear was condensed and pierced the heart of the little demon with a whoosh.

He then waved his staff repeatedly, unleashing the ability to summon skeletons.

Forty skeletons acted as a demolition team, quickly leveling the dilapidated camp of the lesser demons.
