Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge - Chapter 156:

Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Clearly Arranged

“The special recruitment of mechanics can be postponed for now,” said a senior official. “We had better take a good look at the caliber of this trainee, Shen Yurou. If we invest blindly, the loss may outweigh the gain.”

Ever since the Great Xia Empire nearly fell apart due to the blight of wild boar skins, several empires in the Sea of Realms had expended a lot of resources. They wanted to aid the newly born Great Xia Empire in developing some technology-side skills, but the results were negligible.

Moreover, because of the good deeds done by wild boar skins, it was unknown how many traitors were lurking within the nascent Great Xia Empire, leading to many technology-side items from the Sea of Realms being stolen by the Coalition of Nations.

As a result, the technological development of the Great Xia Empire had essentially come to a standstill, and with the official and military collaboration in consolidating the resources of the Sea of Realms and the wilderness, high-tech products were now rarely found outside.

While the Coalition of Nations was active on Blue Star, even daring to go head-to-head with the Great Xia Empire, in the Sea of Realms, these fellows could only huddle with the dynasty established by the wild boar skins at the beginning, struggling to survive with difficulty.

“No, this girl is quite remarkable,” another official interjected. “It’s not difficult to see her thought process from those blueprints she submitted.”

“Exactly, the approach is very straightforward: imitate, research, and then transform it into something created by the Human Race.”

“Right, the exoskeleton combat armor must have been meticulously researched from the Goblin Lumbering Machine and other primitive armors, hence the modified design.”

“The same goes for the bomb blueprints; goblin bombs are unstable, Mechanical Race self-destruction is controllable. She must have combined the strengths of both races to produce a stable bomb!”

“Firearms blueprints are treasures that allow all civilian professionals to advance quickly. The pistols are good for single-target damage and for soloing dungeons with dual-wielding. Machine guns are suitable for team use, with structured suppressive fire that is just perfect for the military.”

The principal of Shenzhou Military Academy, slapping his bald head, was full of approval of the machine gun as a weapon.

“There are two kinds of mechanics; one is Shen Yurou, and the other is just a screw-tightening mechanic. Are we really going to be able to recruit mechanics that can become like her?” asked a government leader skeptically.

“Ahem, about that issue, I think we’d better wait until the girl enrolls and communicate with each other properly.”

“How about we gather all the mechanic files for this year and let the girl choose her own assistants when the time comes?”

“Not a bad idea, this girl certainly knows what kind of assistant she wants.”

“That’s right, it’s just impossible that this girl would choose a screw-tightening mechanic, isn’t it?”

There was a moment of speechlessness among the group, followed by a period of silence, after which the principal of Dragon Academy spoke again.

“Zi Liyuan has a strong connection to Shen Yurou. Should we keep them apart temporarily after she enrolls? Those who deal with death in their careers, the deeper they are intertwined with death, the more likely it is that their spirits will become somewhat twisted over time.”

He was not keen on breaking up the couple, but the value that Shen Yurou had demonstrated, although not yet at the level of a national treasure, was not far from it.

Zi Liyuan was a Necromancer, ultimately one who consorts with death. If he were seduced and corrupted by the Evil supreme-ruler, he could potentially bring about a major disaster and even lead Shen Yurou astray.

“You know they have a strong connection and yet you want to separate them, aren’t you afraid it might backfire?”

“From the information submitted by Ying Xueji, the young man is not simple at all, and the fact that he can withstand the stimulation of his bloodline shows he has a very firm mindset.”

Moreover, that Mutated Puppet, though just a hero BOSS template, has attributes that could crush a Legendary BOSS of the same order, even the Emperor · Pseudo template BOSS.

Not to mention the several mutated skills the young man controls himself; they are incredibly powerful.

Among the materials sent from the Copycat’s Haven, a skill inflicts hundreds of thousands of damage, even more powerful than a Third Order free Lord Boss.

The Evil supreme-ruler trying to tempt him won’t be an easy task, and making him fall further to become a corrupted being is as tough as reaching for the heavens.”

Being tempted by the Evil supreme-ruler typically means enhanced strength for the tempted; Zi Liyuan is already frighteningly powerful, plus he has an even more terrifying Mutated Puppet enforcer.

Is the Evil supreme-ruler really going to risk his neck to tempt and entice him?

If not careful, this kid might just intentionally fleece the Evil supreme-ruler’s wool, devour his sugar-coated shells clean, and return an empty husk back to him.

“That’s right, this young fellow sure is lucky with women; take the Fan Family Four Sisters, identical quadruplets who’ve directly signed the Boundary Sea Contract with him.”

“He really knows how to play the field, with such a quick move.”

Someone exclaimed, and the meeting room instantly became dead silent, every elder and leader turned their gaze towards the Shenzhou Military Academy Principal.

“Cough cough, why stare at me? Can’t one make a remark? Every year our military school has a serious imbalance between males and females. Do you know how popular high-quality female students like these would be if they joined our school?”

“Pfft, a principal like you is a disgrace to the military academy!”

“No wonder your school churns out oddities year after year, always having people fight over a girl in the arena to the death. Seems like it’s a case of ‘like principal, like students’!”

“Balls! A full man doesn’t understand a hungry man’s plight. Ever heard ‘Three years in the army makes a sow as beautiful as Diaochan’? Don’t agree? Come on, let’s have a sparring match on the arena!”

The Principal of Shenzhou Military Academy went on a tirade, rolling up his sleeves, ready to challenge someone to a fight, the epitome of arrogance.

“shit, you violent maniac, don’t think just because you’re the number one combatant of the Great Xia Empire that you’re something special. You believe if I had a year, my students couldn’t pin you down and rub you into the ground?!”

The Principal of Dragon Academy glared with anger but wasn’t about to really take up the fight unless he was out of his mind to clash with this bully.

“Cough cough, let’s return to the main topic, there’s no rush to separate the two. Let’s see the situation after school starts before we decide.”

A leader at the center of the projection tapped on the table, forcefully steering the derailed conversation back on track.

Shenzhou Military Academy’s Principal is a reckless character, always ready to fight at the drop of a hat. Who among us hasn’t suffered a black eye at his hands?

“If the little lady can indeed produce a series of blueprints, we might consider setting up a munitions company, with protection from both the military and officials.”

The Commander of Shenglong State tapped on the table, looking at few official leaders, and suggested.

“This can be considered. Dragon Academy must ensure the absolute safety of the little lady, especially during her first year of school; it’s best not to let her out of Fortunate Heaven and Earth.”

The leaders exchanged glances then nodded, before speaking to the Principal of Dragon Academy.

“Rest assured, ever since she passed the assessment, I’ve had Old Wang from next door look after her. With Old Wang’s strength, there’s absolutely no danger within the Capital.”

Next door, Special Duty Department’s talents mostly hail from Dragon Academy, especially Old Wang, a solid Fourth Order Level 100 Peak combatant; protecting a little girl is a piece of cake for him.

“Alright, we’ll end this meeting for now. If there are any emergencies, we can be contacted immediately. I’ll transfer the meeting materials to the leaders now, and if there are any directives, they will be issued directly.”
