Quartermaster

Sitting on the coffin lid, Gu Xi held a lotus leaf and ate the sticky rice inside. Although it looked rather unappetizing, it actually tasted alright.

At least there wasn't anything that Gu Xi couldn't eat.

At the same time, Gu Xi could clearly feel that his body was getting warmer as he ate the rice, as if a special power was repairing the injuries he had suffered before.

His stomach, in particular, suffered some damage. Before taking the job, Gu Xi had been starving for too long. Although he hadn't felt anything, his stomach was indeed damaged.

After eating the rice this time, he felt a distinct warmth in his stomach.

This made Gu Xi quite satisfied and attracted most of his attention. When the Evil Coffin stopped, Gu Xi realized that he had unknowingly finished eating everything.

"Comrade, come here quickly. I've already spoken to the quartermaster, and he's agreed to make an exception and include your kills on the way here in your kill count."

Gu Xi looked up and saw a burly man in his forties smiling at him.

This big man had dark skin, but for some reason he had a kind of affability. When he smiled, Gu Xi wanted to smile along with him.

"Hello, my name is Gu Xi, and I'm from the transport unit."

"I know that the commander previously transferred three thousand Elite Troops from the City Lord's underground base to deal with the war. As a result, the City Lord extorted five thousand replacements. You're the one who sent these troops over, right?"

Gu Xi never expected that there would be such a thing behind his troop movement.

He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this moment, the big man reached out and patted Gu Xi on the shoulder, "You don't know, the soldiers you brought over have been a huge help to us. If they had been any later, we wouldn't know what to do."

Come on, tell me about what you encountered on the way. Did you run into a lot of intercepting forces along the way?

"Yes, it wasn't too bad when we came out, but the closer we got to the Loose Immortal Garden, the stronger the interception became, especially on the plains outside. The interception was ridiculously strong, and I almost couldn't get through."

"Really? What kind of enemies did you kill along the way? Could you tell me about them?"

As soon as he started playing this, Gu Xi was no longer sleepy. He quickly took out the White Baboon Skin left behind by the Otherworldy Ghost Leader he had killed along the way and began to explain them to the big man.

The burly man listened attentively, occasionally exchanging a word with Gu Xi.

Before they knew it, Gu Xi's entire journey had been revealed.

When Gu Xi placed all the White Baboon Skin on the table, he realized something was wrong.

What happened to him just now? How did he blurt out everything all at once? Looking at Gu Xi's confused eyes, the big man smiled slightly. The reason he was able to sit in the position of quartermaster was precisely because of his affable personality.

After all, who would have thought that a Death Knight's greatest talent and path would be the leadership path, with diplomacy, recruitment, and Financial Management all maxed out by him?

The point about affability I just made is simply a manifestation of having reached a certain level of Diplomacy.

It wasn't difficult for him to get Gu Xi to reveal so much; it was just a matter of using certain rhetorical techniques to guide him.

Gu Xi unknowingly came to regard him as a friend, which allowed her to talk to him more.

Of course, since Gu Xi treated him as a friend, he naturally wanted to Gu Xi as a friend as well.

"Brother Gu Xi, this time, I'll take care of what you need. Putting everything else aside, if you manage to break through the encirclement and deliver what our Loose Immortal Garden needs, that will be a great achievement."

Other places may not recognize it, but I absolutely do.

I'll give you one battle merit for each baboon skin you brought back. You brought back two skins in total. Plus, you said you killed one on the way, but didn't get any baboon skins, so I'll give you half a battle merit.

In addition, you killed several more of the same bosses during the battle just now. Those with baboon skins will also count as part of your kill record.

If you say the Headless Knight was blown up, then that counts as half a battle achievement.

I'll count six battle merits for you in total.

Since you're a necromancer, I won't recommend anything else. The most crucial thing for a necromancer is the Undead Army. I'll exchange six battle merits for what will be most useful to you: six boss-level undead.

What kind of troops are you using now? Just tell me, and I can find the corresponding leaders.

Even if you don't have it, did you see this skill? It's Special Skill, Death Edict, a quasi-divine skill, you know?

Just tell me what you want. Even if I don't have it, I can convert it for you on the spot.

[Death Edict: All neutral creatures that surrender and join the necromancer army will be automatically converted into the corresponding Undead Creature according to their unit level and upgrade status.]

Seeing the smug look on the big man's face, Gu Xi asked a question in a weak voice.

Does Bone Dragon count?

The big man stared at Gu Xi and blinked, his eyes saying, "Are you kidding me?"

Bone Dragon, you're planning to have a Bone Dragon leader lead the team? You must have Dragon Tomb at home.

Even with his Special Skill of Death Edict, he wouldn't dare to appear directly in front of the dragon.

Not to mention trying to subdue a dragon and then transform it into Bone Dragon.

"Go away, go play somewhere else. Bone Dragon leader, I want one too. We don't have one. We have basic Undead Headman, and we can even gather advanced Undead Headman, but we really don't have the top three types, let alone Bone Dragon."

"If you had a Bone Dragon, your necromancer could instantly reach level 10. Why would you need to stay here?"

"Then I don't have any special requests."

Gu Xi shook his head.

These words stumped the big man.

"No way, I just made that boast, I can't let it be exposed like this. I'll definitely have something you can use, you just wait."

After saying that, the big man pressed Gu Xi down into a chair and ran out.

The big man's actions confused Gu Xi. He turned to look at Du Wushuang, who was equally bewildered, and asked, "Has he always been like this?"

"No, he was probably provoked by you. After all, you're the only one who would ask for the Bone Dragon head right away."

"That was just an accident, but I really need a Bone Dragon leader; the other leaders don't mean much to me."

As they were talking, the big man returned from outside, followed by several undead who looked rather unusual.

"Come on, Brother Gu, these are my most treasured possessions. I wouldn't have brought them out if we weren't such good friends. Look, they were all chosen based on the situation you described earlier."

The best of them all is this one, the Skeleton Archer Leader, he..."

As the big man was introducing the group, Gu Xi's gaze fell on the last figure among the undead.
