Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

It\'s just a little red booklet—without real power, you don\'t have troops at hand, nor can you mobilize soldiers in military bases. However, you\'ll still receive the treatment a Major deserves; the Great Xia Empire can spare such small resources."

"It doesn\'t matter, having this title will save me a lot of trouble."

Understanding this, Lord Zi also started frantically scheming on how to maximize the benefits of this superficial status.

For example, causing some trouble for the Ancient Noble Families.

He hadn\'t forgotten the collective test for freshmen when he entered the academy; he had been targeted, and it was obvious who was behind it.

"Since the matter is settled, I\'ll take my leave now."

"No rush, no rush, I have a trade proposal, and I wonder if the military might be interested."

The trade agreement with the munitions company was already in place—they just needed to take over—but Zi Liyuan had other plans with the military.

"A trade? Let\'s hear it."

The military had reaped significant benefits from previous trades, so upon hearing that Zi Liyuan had another proposal, Liu Guozhong was naturally interested.

So, the buttocks that had just lifted from the sofa, sank back down, anticipating Lord Zi\'s next words.

"Perfectly timed, Colonel Liu is the Director of Logistics for the military headquarters. I am willing to offer a [Heart of the Lord] in exchange for a look at the inventory of the Military Treasury of Shenglong State.

If I select certain items, I am willing to pay twenty percent above the market price. If it\'s an exceptionally rare item, using the [Heart of the Lord] to make an exchange isn\'t out of the question."

Last time Zi Liyuan barged into the Heretical Sect\'s den, managing to pull off a brutal clean-up act, he obtained a [Golden Steel Heart].

For him, this was a treasure that guaranteed the creation of a superintelligent life form.

During ten days of quiet study, he almost went through all the items in the treasure hall of the Dragon Academy but could not find a suitable vessel.

After all, if he couldn\'t have absolute control over it, should a problem arise in the future, he might not even be able to handle it himself, and that would be where the real trouble starts.

In reality, Lao Tie was a very suitable vessel, but what Zi Liyuan really wanted was to create a research-based superintelligent life form, which would help Shen Yurou climb the ladder of black technology even faster and also expedite the merging of the Undead Calamity with the Mechanized Calamity.

That\'s right, when he tricked Shen Yurou into signing the contract of servitude for the Sea of Realms, he had thought about merging both calamities together.

Just imagine summoning thousands of Skeletons with a wave of his hand, each one piloting a Mecha or interstellar warship, charging at the enemy—it would be enough to scare a multitude of people to death.

Unfortunately, among the treasures of Dragon Academy, there were none that pertained to research technology or mechanical puppets.

That\'s why Zi Liyuan wanted to see if there were such things in the treasury of the Great Xia Empire\'s military, believing it could contain such items.

After all, the military had eradicated countless monster nests, and there was always the chance, when opening the original treasure chests of monster nests, to find strange artifacts which then end up gathering dust in the treasury.

"Agreed! Whenever you\'re going to the military base to take over the munitions company, just let me know, and I\'ll take you to see the inventory list of the treasury."

The truly valuable items had long been put to use, so most of what was in the military treasury were high-quality items of a miscellaneous nature, sitting there collecting dust.

"Then my thanks to Colonel Liu."

Although it was interest that paved the way, being allowed to view the military\'s treasury inventory list was also a favor from the other party.

Zi Liyuan naturally couldn\'t continue with his indifferent attitude towards others anymore.

"Military affairs are busy; if there\'s nothing else, I\'ll take my leave first."

"Then allow me to see you out, Colonel Liu."

Liu Guozhong nodded, got up without any delay, and even looked in a hurry, which puzzled Zi Liyuan, but he didn\'t dwell on it.

Instead, he personally saw the Colonel out of the villa gate before returning to the hall.

The reason Liu Guozhong left so swiftly was first to report the discovery of Zi Liyuan\'s incredibly high luck value, second to contact other military districts to bring over the original treasure chests of the dungeons, and lastly regarding Zi Liyuan\'s desire to inspect the military\'s treasury inventory at a great cost.

For the first point, the higher-ups needed to be informed. Ideally, they would renegotiate a profit-sharing contract with Zi Liyuan, maintaining the sixty-forty split but adding an increase to the [Heart of the Lord]!

The second point involved the chests. The Military Treasury of Shenglong State only had just over a hundred with normal drop rates; the rest were defects and were all traded to Zi Liyuan.

This time, he planned to obtain some chests with normal drop rates from the military districts across different continents and then continue his observations.

He believed that Zi Liyuan\'s luck would likely give him a 15% or higher probability of obtaining a [Heart of the Lord], even from opening defective chests.

If he managed to get chests with normal drop rates, the chance of acquiring a [Heart of the Lord] might exceed 20%!

Such an exceptional talent!

Liu Guozhong couldn\'t help but wish to bring along a group of burly men, capture Zi Liyuan, subject him to interrogation, and then force him to sign a contract.

But remembering Mr. Huang\'s and the higher-ups\' attitudes, he could only dream about it.

The third point was the most important. Zi Liyuan was the type who didn\'t get up early without profit. Ignoring the Dragon Academy\'s treasury was certainly not an option.
