The Clever Duck

The Magic Association's targeting of "necromancers" is not without reason.

In the late period of the Magic Empire, a great disaster was caused by a legendary necromancer.

Historically known as the "Pale Annals".

That upheaval directly accelerated the decline of the Magic Empire. Ultimately, due to the tug-of-war between various parties, the once glorious, domineering, and invincible Magic Empire finally collapsed. After more than a hundred years of turmoil, the Magic Association finally rose again from the corpse of the Magic Empire. The Association also changed its previous domineering and resolute attitude, becoming capable of "reasoning."

Around the time the Magic Association was first established, the necromancers were so suppressed that they couldn't even raise their heads.

The association is on guard against necromancy mages in all aspects, and is wary of whether they have been corrupted by Negative Energy or whether their personality and character have been distorted.

It wasn't until a mage from the Transmutation Faction researched the "String Conversion Theory of Opposite Energy" that the Necromancer School borrowed and developed the technology of converting Negative Energy into life energy. The school, which could only study the dead, ghosts, zombies and skeletons, actually developed life magic!

It became the only one among the eight major schools to possess the power of a healer! This completely reversed the preconceived notion that the Necromancy School had left in the minds of many mages.

That era was a collective celebration of the necromancy school, and even today, necromancers are no longer symbols of gloom and terror.

Even their mage robes have been changed: originally, necromancers' mage robes were usually all black or all gray-black.

Since developing the technology to transform Negative Energy into life energy, they changed the lining of their black robes to emerald green, a symbol of life.

You know what, they're pretty trendy! Necromancers were once the trendiest guys in the Magic Association! The Energy Conversion Device that stands in Li Yao's subspace was developed and manufactured by Necromancy School mages. Similar devices have also been installed in many Negative Energy -related planes in the Main World to resist the invasion of undead creatures into the Main World.

Therefore, knowing this history, Li Yao was quite hopeful about the Necromancy School.

In addition, the Necromancy School' research on necromantic creatures has resulted in some really cool techniques! For example, creating Black Warrior, converting Pale Knight, or creating Holy Flame Wraith, Ice Light Vengeful Spirit, and so on.

These also require the mage to have a certain talent in alchemy, which makes it even more suitable for me!

Li Yao made up his mind!

This is it!

The third specialization— Necromancy School! After confirming it, Li Yao dug out the information about the different schools that his best friend had given him, preparing to study the Necromancy School's materials.

He just found the information.

Lin Xiaoxi strolled over and said, "All you do all day is play on your phone, what else can you do?"

Li Yao: "..."

I don't need to do anything, do I?

Li Yao completely ignored the guy, but with him around, it wasn't convenient to look at the documents, so Li Yao simply put away his phone and pretended to doze off.

Lin Xiaoxi was displeased. "Hey, I'm talking to you! Why are you asleep? (;￢д￢)!"

Li Yao took a deep breath.

He finally understood; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have a moment's peace if he didn't figure this guy out.

So he opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaoxi: "I'm not sleeping, I'm thinking."

Lin Xiaowei immediately looked disgusted. "(;￢д￢) With your IQ, what can you even think about?"

Back in the day, even this tavern was revived by me, Lin Baiwan! Li Yao ignored her and said, "There are two things I've never understood—first: why does it hurt so much when I accidentally bite my tongue, but it doesn't hurt at all when I bite it on purpose?"

Lin Xiaoxi: "(°ー°)..."

This thing is so boring...

Li Yao continued, "Secondly, why are you biting your tongue right now?"

Lin Xiaoxi: "Eh =(д)???"

She was actually biting her tongue! Lin Xiaoxi immediately felt like she was being watched, and then she felt incredibly humiliated! How did she end up being led astray by that bastard Li Da Yao with just a few words?

Seeing Li Yao's peaceful and kind smile looking at her now only made her feel more aggrieved! Lin Xiaoxi hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, "No, that's a trap! Let me tell you, I'm usually a clever Ya Pi!"

Li Yao: "Okay, then I'll test you again."

Lin Xiaoxi said confidently, "You do it!"

Li Yao: "Is 1 x 0 = 0 because zero multiplied by anything is zero, or because one multiplied by any number is that number (°°)?"

Lin Xiaoxi: "This (￣Д￣)..."

What the hell kind of stupid questions are these?! Lin Xiaoxi felt like she was about to wither away!

And once again, she felt her intelligence insulted—she actually believed that bastard Li Yao could spout ivory! What a jerk!

Lin Xiaoxi snorted and left angrily.

Li Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief; it felt so good!

What constitutes a fulfilling life?

A perfect life is eating, sleeping, being a lazy bum, and messing around with Xiaoxi! That's awesome! After feeling smug for a while, Li Yao took out his phone again and started browsing... And all day long, Lin Xiaoxi didn't bother him anymore. Instead, she sat at the bar looking like she was contemplating life, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

As night fell, noises came from the late -Midnight Bar next door. Soon after, Li Yao saw Zhou Li stroll over and say with a grin, "Boss Li, Boss Zhou is back again!"

The handsome young man had no serious demeanor whatsoever.

Li Yao waved towards the door. "Long time no see! How's it going in Modu?"

Zhou Li sat down in front of the fireplace in the tavern and sighed, "It sounded good at first, but after the garbage sorting regulations were introduced, I was completely dismayed."

Li Yao: "..."

He had heard a little about it.

After Modu introduced garbage sorting regulations, citizens are required to classify their garbage into dry waste, wet waste, recyclable waste, and hazardous waste.

They said they wanted to create a first-class civilized city.

I heard that some people were fined several hundred yuan for not sorting their garbage properly.

Zhou Li slumped there and complained, "Boss Li, you have no idea. Before I came back, I had to sort through all the crayfish remains after eating crayfish over there. It took me five minutes to eat the crayfish, but two hours to sort them out. Can you believe it?"

Li Yao frowned. "Isn't it said that aquatic food belongs to wet waste?"

That thing, even Senior Brother can eat!

Zhou Li sneered, "Then tell me, are the clam shells dry or wet?"

Li Yao was a little uncertain. "Dried...?"

Zhou Li clapped his hands. "That's right! Hey, what kind of image do we project when we take a trash bag downstairs and pick and choose the items?"

Li Yao asked curiously, "Couldn't you have divided it at home?"

Zhou Li: "Then when you're at home, you still have to use your phone to check, and if you don't know something, you have to ask Baidu. Why don't you just go to the trash cans and see what kind of trash is in the different trash cans? That's called intelligence!"

After thinking for two seconds, Li Yao suddenly asked, "Don't the garbage trucks just dump everything together and haul it away?"

Zhou Li: "Σ(⊙⊙)???"

First update. I didn't redeem the exemption for diligent writing, and lost 20,000 yuan of my six-month bonus. I slapped myself a hundred times, hoping to learn my lesson. I'm telling you all this for fun, and please feel free to humiliate me; let the lesson be etched in your memory. Hope you enjoy reading.
