Chapter 52: Luck Turned Around, Luck Turned Around (Ecstasy)

【I'm very sorry, but the structural strength of the Yangyue World is limited; accommodating a single high-dimensional life like you has already reached its limit】

【To perfectly execute the《Fourth Calamity Plan》, we can only rely on your boundless energy to carry the relevant information of the remaining high-dimensional lives, allowing them to descend in the form of projections】

【But whether in reality or magic, projections require a physical object to actually exist】

【Thus, the second-stage main quest was born】

【Main quest: Find one hundred suitable skeletons】

【Quest reward: A card that can resurrect any character】

What, a hundred skeletons?

Doesn't that mean I have to kill a hundred living people?

Ji Ming instantly felt his vision go dark, almost fainting outright.

In this day and age, a game that's considered hot would surely have tens of millions of players.

Considering the special nature of the Yangyue World, if the promotion is in place, we dare not say it will exceed a hundred million in public testing, but tens of millions of accounts are still foreseeable.

Then I would have to……

Oh dear.

Isn't this a bit too extreme?

Destroying cities and forts, razing civilizations, conducting a blood sacrifice of hundreds of millions of lives.

My level of obsession would have to be Africa's three great tyrants multiplied by big waves, then flatten a little moustache's square.

So you're saying the way to save the world is to send everyone happily to paradise?

【Stop!】

【What are you daydreaming about!】

Yangyue was so anxious that even the dialog box was trembling.

【Skeletons, skeletons, pay attention to the question—it's not corpses!】

"Then it's fine."

Ji Ming let out a breath of relief, but looking at the damp long-handled shovel in his hand, his expression twisted again.

Although finding some skeletons in an ancient battlefield ruin shouldn't be that hard, ……

Just after digging a big grave, I have to burrow inside to dig out small graves.

As a modern person who spends all day reading hell jokes, I'm already lacking in yin virtue, and now I have to exhaust even the fraction.

If one day I kick the bucket and meet Impermanence, when they pull out the merit ledger and flip just two pages, they'll have to hand me a cigarette.

Step—step!

In order to be able to smoke a flower son cigarette someday, Ji Ming pulled open the dungeon map, preparing to see where there are more graves.

The Great Holy Seat has been completely updated by Yangyue, so its interior contains neither monsters nor relics.

To obtain the corresponding items, one must leave the warship and venture into the fortress interior for exploration.

Fortunately, the most suitable patch lies right adjacent to the east, with only some weak frenzied goblins wandering aimlessly.

After confirming the approximate location, the system automatically retrieved the most suitable and safest specific coordinates.

Ji Ming lifted the iron shovel and activated the teleport.

Once again, the winds and clouds shifted, the surroundings went from bright to dim, he looked around and discovered this was a place resembling an armory.

Unfortunately, even magical equipment is hard to withstand such a long span of time.

Together with the racks, the once divine weapons are now nothing but dust and fragments scattered across the ground.

【Hello, could you……】

【Hello, thank you for your inquiry, cannot】

Alright, I suppose so.

At that moment, footsteps sounded; Ji Ming shrugged his shoulders and quickly hid behind a large chunk of rubble.

They were three frenzied goblins, each with twisted mouths and slanted eyes, looking not very smart.

Ji Ming adjusted his stance and surged forward as they approached.

One chop, one lift, one pat.

No need for any【Stun Baton】to initiate strong control; a earnest strike with the shovel at Qi Blood Six is enough!

The three frenzied goblins had no chance to fight back, and Ji Ming sent them flying with a crackling boom, turning them into a surge of experience that flooded his panel.

Moreover, while adjusting his breath, Ji Ming faintly saw a skull in the corner; upon closer look, it was indeed a skeleton half-buried.

Awesome, killing monsters and completing the quest at the same time!

Ji Ming hastily swung the shovel to start digging, and when he reached the fragile parts, he would gently tap with a small shovel.

But only after digging to the end did he discover that this was a skeleton severed at the waist.

"Master, where's your butt?"

Ji Ming lifted his head and realized there was no tree above, and thus no lower half.

Leaning on the shovel handle, he pondered the quest requirements, and then it finally clicked.

One suitable skeleton.

What makes a skeleton suitable?

First, it must be human.

At the very least, those three goblin skeletons nearby won't do.

This isn't a hentai world; elves here are all old, crafty, spiteful devilish musclemen, and they certainly won't just give themselves away.

The status of goblins is as low as their intelligence; they are even despised by the far superior dwarves who, though considered kin, far surpass them in physique and wisdom.

Such a start brings no benefits, and the four dimensions are a mess—ugly as a ghost.

Although Ji Ming doesn't care either, however it may be with his bastard mother.

But when that time comes, even if she knows the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it's still not enough for the players to kill.

Secondly, it must be complete.

Players are here to play the game, you start out missing arms and legs.

Besides self-limited players and River Dam Joy, even stockpiling a hundred thousand mothers wouldn't be enough for them to eat in one meal.

So.

If it weren't for these two requirements, gathering a hundred corpses would be easy.

But now.

I'm afraid it will still take some effort.

Ji Ming pondered while continuing to explore.

After killing six frenzied goblins in a row and digging up three damaged skeletons, he finally found a complete one.

"Hello, my number one player."

He patted that guy on the shoulder, and Ji Ming teleported him to the storage room inside the warship.

With a good start, he busy himself killing monsters and digging up corpses, having a blast.

But as he walked, he gradually saw a massive figure appear in the shadows not far away.

He quickly retreated to a ruin, then Ji Ming opened the map to check.

Countless tiny red dots moved and flickered; the only things wandering here were still the weak frenzied goblins.

What could that be?

He swallowed, raised his iron shovel, and inched forward.

Only then did he discover that, under the fluorescence, countless white pillars lay scattered on the ground.

Among them was also a huge object like an umbrella rib, extending with a beautiful arc deeper into the darkness.

If it were a building, it would be truly abstract to the extreme.

But Ji Ming, who often stews meat, immediately recognized it as probably the bone of some kind of giant beast.

He first tapped it with his fingers, then slapped it with the shovel head, and finally just jumped on it and stomped twice.

Logically speaking, it must have been dead for who knows how many years.

Yet the bones were not fragile or rotted; on the contrary, Ji Ming exerted all his strength but couldn't leave even a mark on them.

How strong must this giant beast have been in life? Could it be a legendary adult dragon whose name is recorded in history?

In his awe, Ji Ming summoned the system.

The revival card awarded for the quest must first have a target selected before it can be used.

In other words, he can use it without using it, getting the corpse's panel for free.

【Name: White Mist Guardian·Bu Long Fei Er De】

【Previous Level: 91·Dragon God Sorcery】

【Cause of Death: While investigating ancient war relics, he was ambushed and surrounded by several evil spirit magic dragons who laid traps】

……

How much?
