Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 508 - 365: Massively Inflated Physique, Skeleton Hea

Wasting no ti, Fang Zhou picked up his personal terminal and sent a ssage to Liu Diewu.

[Ordinary Black Iron] (Fang Zhou): Senior Diewu, are you free lately? I would like to discuss sothing with you.

Shortly after the ssage was sent, Liu Diewu’s reply ca back.

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "Oh, Fang Zhou, you’ve already broken through to Black Iron, passed the advancent exam, and beco a second-year student. Why are you still calling senior? I’m currently practicing skills in the greenhouse garden. If you have sothing to discuss, you can co find anyti."

[Ordinary Black Iron] (Fang Zhou): "Okay, I’ll co over right away. I mainly wanted to ask if you’re interested in becoming a research assistant for our Undead Mage research group?"

Fang Zhou stood up, quickly drafted a research assistant agreent, and then hurried toward the greenhouse garden.

Outside, the winter wind was fierce, but inside the Natural Professional Association’s greenhouse garden, it was like spring all year round, as warm as sumr.

Fang Zhou and Liu Diewu sat across from each other with exquisite tea sets before them. The aroma of tea wafted through the air, and their minds relaxed as well.

"Fang Zhou, you broke through the bottleneck and advanced to Black Iron so quickly. It really exceeded all of our expectations," Liu Diewu said with an incredulous expression as she elegantly poured him a cup of tea. "In just one sester, less than half a year, you went from a novice who had just awakened as an Undead Mage all the way to the Black Iron Tier. You’ve progressed at an astonishing pace. This is unprecedented in the history of Sea City Military Academy."

Fang Zhou smiled slightly and said humbly, "It’s mainly because Sea City Military Academy received substantial resource support from the Federation Military Departnt during this ti, so my cultivation speed increased significantly. I also have to thank you, Senior Diewu, for selflessly sharing your cultivation experiences with earlier. It really helped a lot."

Liu Diewu took a gentle sip of tea, shook her head, and laughed. "During this ti, especially after you passed the advancent exam and officially beca a second-year student, many classmates have been asking about you. Everyone is very curious. Although your combat videos are saved on our school’s internal network, people are still very curious about what you’re like in your daily life and cultivation. Even our instructors are getting restless, eager to take you off the first-year instructors’ hands. This is the kind of treatnt a genius like you receives."

Fang Zhou sipped his tea and did not respond.

In fact, he was well aware of the shock his breakthrough and advancent to the second year had brought to the students and instructors of Sea City Military Academy. His na was already known throughout the academy after he led Sea City Military Academy’s team to win the First Military Academy championship, but this sudden attention and expectation still put so pressure on him. Everyone had expected Fang Zhou to progress rapidly, but no one anticipated he would reach his current height so swiftly.

Liu Diewu looked at Fang Zhou with an admiring smile and continued, "Now everyone is eagerly waiting to see which Seed Student from the second year you’ll challenge next. Currently, we have about fifteen Seed Students who have already advanced to the Black Iron Tier and could serve as your opponents. So think that, given your character, you won’t be content in a lower position and might directly challenge the number one seed, Gu Yueyuan. Others believe you’re composed and plan your moves carefully, so you might challenge the lowest-ranked Black Iron student first just to secure a spot among the second-year Seed Students. So, Fang Zhou, what are your plans?"

Fang Zhou looked up at Liu Diewu and smiled. "It’s only been a little over a week since I broke through the bottleneck to the Black Iron Tier. I haven’t even had ti to build a basic combat system for a Black Iron Tier Undead Mage. The skills that were decent enough during the Apprentice Stage are now unusable. You especially know, Diewu, that our Undead Mage Skill Tree was already very incomplete. I still need to spend a lot of energy to develop and enhance my skills. As of now, it’s hard to say who I should challenge. If I can establish a preliminary combat system within two months, I might try challenging Senior Gu Yueyuan. But if I don’t make much progress on my skills in that ti, I’ll probably play it safe."

Liu Diewu nodded. "That aligns with my own thoughts. Fang Zhou, your potential is limitless, but realizing it requires an investnt of resources and ti. There’s no need to rush. With your talent, I estimate it won’t be long before you leave us in the dust again. By the way, what did you an about a research assistant for the Undead Mage research group?"

As the conversation turned to the main topic, Fang Zhou got straight to the point, taking out the prepared research assistant agreent and handing it to Liu Diewu.

"Diewu, please take a look. This is the research assistant agreent I prepared for you. If you’re willing to beco a research assistant for our Undead Mage research group, I’ll provide you with a base monthly salary of 100 Basic Contribution Points. Additionally, there will be a reward system based on your contributions to our research project. The specifics are all detailed in the agreent."

Fang Zhou persuasively explained the rights and responsibilities of a research assistant. "Diewu, you should be familiar with ng Hongzhuang. Back when I was at the Apprentice Stage, I hired ng Hongzhuang, Bai Xiaochan, Shen Ziwei, and other first-year students as my research assistants. They were a huge help, especially in collecting the Skill Materials I needed to develop Undead Mage skills, which saved a lot of effort. I also rewarded them with a considerable amount of Contribution Points and other Cultivation Resources according to the agreent. It’s a mutually beneficial situation. However, now that I’ve advanced to Black Iron, ng Hongzhuang and the others can’t assist much for the ti being. So I was hoping I could ask you for help. I believe with your experience and capabilities, you can definitely be a great asset to our research project."

Fang Zhou paused, his eyes full of anticipation.

Liu Diewu took the agreent and skimd through it. Her expression shifted from initial surprise to seriousness, finally settling into a slight smile.

She looked up at Fang Zhou and said, "No problem, Fang Zhou. I’ve reviewed the agreent. Just as you said, it’s a mutually beneficial arrangent. I provide research support, and you provide the corresponding paynt. This is a great gig. After all, like you, I’ve also just recently broken through to Black Iron and haven’t established a stable, mature combat system yet. I need so ti to consolidate my abilities in the safe environnt of the academy before I can take on real combat missions. At this stage, the part-ti pay you’re offering is a very significant source of Contribution Points for ."

Liu Diewu thought for a mont before continuing, "Actually, I’d already heard about the terms you offered Bai Xiaochan and ng Hongzhuang. If I were at the Apprentice Stage back then, I would have been incredibly envious. According to ng Hongzhuang, aside from the research agreent, you and Bai Xiaochan also had a ’Buff Agreent.’ Bai Xiaochan would play Lullaby and Song of Triumph for you every day to increase your Spiritual Power recovery and Soul Nourishnt speed. In return, you paid her a monthly part-ti salary in Contribution Points. Fang Zhou, are you still interested in sothing like that? My Natural Druid profession isn’t as specialized in support as Bai Xiaochan’s Chanting String, but I do have two Support Skills focused on Mana Recovery and Soul Nourishnt. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to take over for Bai Xiaochan and provide this service for you at the Black Iron Tier. Of course, that cos with an extra fee."
