Upgrade (8102)

Haha, the average subscription has reached 1020, it's over 1000! Thank you so much! I'll slowly make up for the extra chapters I owe. Please continue to support me. Today is another day of hard work! -- Whoosh! Lying on the coffin lid, Gu Xi hugged the Cotton Quilt tightly. He never expected that the Evil Coffin could accelerate to this speed.

They all flew directly off the water.

If he hadn't held on firmly, he might have been swept away by the cold wind blowing in his face.

Having finally made it from the center of the lake to the shore, Gu Xi didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief before turning around to look at what was happening behind him.

The White Star Lake, which had been frozen over, completely broke, and all the buildings on the lake sank into the water as the ice cracked.

As these structures sank, whirlpools formed by ice blocks even appeared on the lake's surface.

It looked as if someone had made a hole in the bottom of the lake, and a lot of the lake water had been swallowed up.

This strange change lasted for nearly half an hour. When the lake calmed down again, Gu Xi discovered that the water level had dropped by Mido.

Meanwhile, a large amount of construction waste is floating on the lake surface, and the once tranquil and White Star Lake has completely disappeared.

Only a large area of ruins was visible on the lake surface.

However, Gu Xi did not see this scene, as he had already traveled some distance away from White Star Lake.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi was lying on the coffin lid, was making this choice.

Gu Xi had already received a message when he left the battle.

[By using Death Avatar (spell artifact) to kill the special undead Walrus Mound (level 10), you gain 6332 experience points.]

[Ding! Your total experience has reached the upgrade requirement. Please choose whether to upgrade.]

[Upon reaching level 4, health and Mana will be fully restored, all negative status effects will be removed, Perception will be increased by 1, and one of the following three skills will be chosen as a reward.]

[Enlightenment: Passive skill, upgradable. Once mastered, it increases the experience gained by the user during combat and learning, and adds 1 point to free attribute every 4 levels.]

[Summoning Magic: Passive skill, upgradable. Mastering this skill allows you to learn basic Summoning Magic and increases the combat power of summoned creatures.]

[Magic Undead: Passive skill, upgradable. Once mastered, it enhances all undead created, summoned, or contracted by necromancers, and has a higher chance (50%) to grant them a magical attribute when summoning.]

Faced with this choice, Gu Xi hesitated, as all three skills were quite good.

Enlightenment is the most direct path. Once mastered, it grants a 5% experience gain with each level up. Most importantly, Gu Xi had heard from someone at the Minggu Bone Wind Academy that following the path of Enlightenment would eventually lead to a special skill.

[King of Zombies: Special Skill - Due to outstanding achievements in the field of death research, the necromancer's knowledge is permanently increased by 1, the necromancer's summoning rate is increased by 5%, and the starting level of the undead summoned by the necromancer spell is increased by 1.]

This can be said to be Gu Xi's first encounter with a special skill path. Although it is a very common special skill, for some people, having it is better than not having it.

The Summoning Magic and Magic Undead skills are used to strengthen Undead Army.

Summoning Magic ostensibly allows players to learn various summoning spells, such as bee swarms and various elemental summons.

But regardless of the game, it must be acknowledged that the undead summoned by Summoning are summoned creatures, and the fact that Summoning Magic can enhance the combat power of summoned creatures applies to the Undead Army.

Putting everything else aside, his Death Avatar is the purest form of summoned creature.

Choosing this path will further enhance the combat power of the Death Avatar.

As for Magic Undead, this is a skill that adds magical attributes to undead.

A 50% success rate is acceptable, but the choice of which magical attribute is added is somewhat unpredictable.

For example, there might be magical effects where Skeleton Archer has magic resistance.

Therefore, choosing this path is equivalent to taking a gamble.

Gu Xi, who was lying on the coffin lid, quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of these three skills.

Having already made up his mind, Gu Xi preferred to take a more cautious approach, rather than focusing on strengthening his combat abilities or gambling on the random opportunities during each soul summoning.

"Upgrade, choose Enlightenment!"

At Gu Xi's command, a golden light fell upon Gu Xi, who was lying prone.

Gu Xi felt a warmth spread through his body, and his spirits, which had been somewhat dampened by the cold wind, instantly returned.

Passive Skills: Undead Knowledge Level 4, Undead Pact Level 1, Magic Knowledge Level 5, Basic Science Level 4, Basic Reading Level 2, Basic Writing Level 2, Undead Domination Level 1, Enlightenment Level 1.

Gu Xi's eyes lit up when he saw the newly improved attributes.

With 1300 points of mana, Gu Xi could use Corpse Explosion to make enemies question their existence on a large battlefield.

Not to mention the other attributes that have been improved, it seems that this world is truly a treasure trove, where leveling up is much faster than in other places.

Gu Xi also discovered that, having chosen the Enlightenment passive skill, his level had now reached 4, and he had gained an extra point of free attribute.

Gu Xi is currently studying his own attributes, trying to figure out where he should allocate his attribute points.

Normally, a mage, even a necromancer, should increase their intelligence.

After all, the power of magic is closely related to intelligence.

Even if increasing intelligence doesn't improve the power of spells like Summoning, the amount of mana is a tangible and visible increase.

What mages fear most on the battlefield is not being attacked in close combat, but running out of mana.

Gu Xi already possesses the Death Avatar, a mana-consuming ability that drains all his mana. Therefore, the current increase in mana is actually beneficial to him.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi, who was lying on the coffin lid, chuckled.

Upon hearing the sound, the Ghost glanced back at Gu Xi, found nothing amiss, and refrained from further attention.

The Evil Coffin paid no attention to Gu Xi's affairs; it simply determined the path and flew off in one direction.

Soon, wrapped in Cotton Quilt, Gu Xi noticed that the surrounding environment had changed. The amount of ice and snow had decreased significantly, and the nearby mountain peaks had turned into Deep Blue, translucent color.

Within these mountains, there is a path made of ice.

Looking at the map, Gu Xi realized that this was the closest path to the Loose Immortal Garden.

Ice Web Valley.
