Damn Necromancer (117)
Tryouts (2)
‘Oh, no.’
Could it be that nightmare again… … .
It was then.
Kim Min-woo quietly put his index finger to his mouth, as if telling him not to pretend to know.
Popo nodded hastily and said while looking around at the awakened people.
-uh… … to… … I will announce the contents of the first exam! You are now the same, but you will each be in a different city.
‘city?’
Popo continued speaking to the awakened people who were tilting their heads.
-The period is 1 week. You are free to do whatever you do there. However, points will be accumulated based on your actions. The person with the highest score is the winner! Each person’s score will appear on the bulletin board from time to time, so check it out and work hard!
Immediately afterwards, Popo snapped his fingers.
―Okay, the exam is starting!
[The first test begins.]
[You have entered ‘City – Number 123’!]
[This is a special stage where you cannot gain experience!]
[Instead, from now on, points will be accumulated based on your actions!]
[Accumulate the most points in a week.]
[If you collect scores above a certain level, something special may happen.]
[rule]
[* Only the top 50 scorers from the first test will advance to the second test.]
[* Existing items cannot be used for commercial transactions.]
I looked around.
From the style of the building to the appearance of people walking around.
‘First of all, it’s about fantasy.’
I felt like I had a rough idea of what Popo was talking about, the same but different city.
It’s number 123.
Probably up to 150 similar cities are formed depending on the number of participants.
“Hayang.”
-dream.
“Dad, I’m following along well. got it?”
– Kuu.
I walked down the street with Hayang, who had become transparent.
The sign had strange cursive letters written on it, but luckily I was able to read it.
In addition, even the voices of merchants shouting while selling goods were being interpreted and heard.
“We sell freshly baked, warm bread! Score 2 points!”
“Sasho fresh fruit! “Start with a score of 1!”
It was a similar treatment to the gate.
Even there, you can hear both text and language properly.
Seeing that sales of daily necessities were expressed in a strange format called points, it seemed like a worldview where points were treated as a kind of money.
‘It was said that points accumulate depending on your actions.’
There were still many things I didn’t know, such as what the scope of my actions would be and what actions I would need to take to accumulate points.
I asked while grabbing one of the passers-by.
“Is there a mercenary guild here?”
“Mercenary guild? “Let’s go over there.”
“Thank you.”
When you have no proper identity or money.
In this case, it is best to change jobs to a fantasy country rule and mercenary.
I followed the direction indicated by a passerby. Before long, a large building came into view.
[Mercenary Guild]
As I went inside, I saw mercenaries with grim looks drinking alcohol.
Eyes begin to gather in quick glances.
“Are you a rookie?”
“Heh, the face is a bit smooth, isn’t it?”
Soon, a bald muscular mercenary stood up and began to close the distance. It was a bonus to have an eerie smile on my face.
“Hey pretty girl. Working as a mercenary isn’t easy. So… … .”
“Give me 3 seconds.”
“yes?”
“go away.”
“under! This old rain makes it easy to earn points… … .”
bang!
The guy who got hit in the face with the sheath of the sword was slammed against the wall.
The mercenaries’ faces hardened.
“what? “Has Kundel suffered now?”
“He’s a gold-level mercenary?”
I looked around.
A group of mercenaries who make eye contact for a moment and turn their heads away.
It seemed like the guy I just defeated was a pretty cool guy.

I approached the counter.
“Can you become a mercenary?”
“uh. Oh, of course. Do you have any ID or anything like that?”
“I don’t have any.”
“Well, I see. Then, I think you will need to get a temporary mercenary badge. As your performance accumulates, an official plaque will be issued. Please take it.”
The employee handed me a round silver plaque.
[I became a ‘temporary silver badge mercenary.’]
[200 points are given.]
[Current score: 200]
They say you accumulate points based on your actions.
It seemed like being a mercenary also gave you points.
“It’s a silver plate… … .”
“Well, performance is also important to raise your grade.”
“If I build up good performance, how far can I go?”
“Adamantium. You can even go up here. Of course, you will have to achieve great results.”
Bronze, silver, gold, platinum, adamantium.
It is said that the mercenary guild’s cards are divided into five levels.
“Where can I see the missions?”
“Here we go.”
The employee said, pointing to the bulletin board.
Mission tables posted on the bulletin board.

[Numbers remaining: 1/1]
“How do you carry out your mission?”
“Just tear the paper there. Then you will be taken to that location. but… … .”
The employee glanced in this direction and spoke as if warning.
“If you fail on any difficulty level or higher, you die. So don’t go in blindly.”
“yes. By the way, that’s the highest difficulty level. “There is a limit to the number of times, but is this applicable in all cities?”
“yes. If you do that mission for any city, it will disappear from the list. “I’ve never had anything like that before.”
I nodded.
Hiking or hunting wild animals.
This is a structure that will keep you in the bottom tier for the rest of your life.
Because the score is that high.
On the other hand, what about the higher-level mission?
If you could kill Cyclops, you could get a whopping 10,000 points in two days. There was no need to mention the vampire’s shout.
500,000 points.
Just looking at it, it’s a huge score.
I thought it would be possible to measure difficulty very roughly.
Cyclops alone was a very difficult monster.
Average level 600 or higher.
It is a giant-type monster with power that cannot be compared to that of an ogre.
‘It’s called a village, so it’s probably full of people like that.’
Beating them all was worth 10,000 points.
But even 50 times the score is not enough, they even give +@?
‘I’m saying the difficulty is at least 50 times higher.’
If it’s that difficult to subdue a group of vampires.
‘Are they all made up of true blood relatives?’
A vampire’s level is divided by the blood made up of their body. Vampires with real blood.
These people were usually referred to as Jinhyeoljok. If that old castle was full of people like that, it wouldn’t be surprising to give it 500,000 points.
“I have a question.”
“Please tell me.”
The receptionist was very friendly, perhaps because she had destroyed a gold-level mercenary with one blow.
“What is the perception of necromancers here?”
“what… … “It’s not bad, right?”
“To the extent that it doesn’t matter if I summon the undead?”
“yes. “As long as you don’t cause harm to others, there are no particular sanctions.”
That’s right, this is it.
Cedric and Marchen were immediately summoned. A woman holding a large skull and a parasol. Even though she saw the two, the receptionist didn’t seem overly surprised.
only.
“… … Huh, you really are a necromancer?”
I just asked as if I was a little surprised.
“you’re right. “Do you get points for working too?”
“yes. “You get 500 points a month.”
“500 points. “Isn’t it enough to climb that mountain 50 times?”
“Yes. However, there is one thing you overlooked: the average person cannot do that in 30 minutes. “The body doesn’t obey.”
I guess that’s roughly what it feels like.
I nodded and looked at the receptionist.
“If I get 500 points, does that mean I’m earning better than the average level?”
“Usually a handyman receives 10 points a day. “Compared to that, it’s not that bad.”
That a request is possible.
It was a worldview in which it would not be strange to be treated as an elite just for climbing a mountain.
They say that if a handyman works all day, he gets 10 points, but if he hikes the mountain for 30 minutes, he gets 10 points.
24 hours a day.
Among them, even if you burn only 12 hours, you get 240 points.
24 times the daily wage of a handyman.
It was literally a copy of the score.
Is climbing a mountain that good?
‘Then I guess I can’t not take the test.’
Hae-il was summoned.
Click!
I said while pointing at the bulletin board towards the guy who was saluting vigorously.
“Tsunami. “Tear that thing off and climb the mountain.”
Click!
The guy who ran tore the paper.
It was that moment.
[The location of ‘Tsunami’ has changed!]
[It’s too far away!]
[Summon is cancelled!]
‘It’s a shame.’
It seemed like the paper would travel a very long way if you tore it.
Score Copy Plan 1 failed.
Still, it was okay.
‘Because I have more plans.’
He said he was free to do whatever he wanted, and points were accumulated based on his actions.
Is request the only option?
no.
I took out a useful weapon from my inventory and looked at the receptionist.
“How many points do you think this sword will score?”
“hmm. “Can I take a look at it for a moment?”
The receptionist checks when I hand over the sword.
The black skulls I just handed over were one of the standard 100-level items that could be made. Then he nodded and spoke.
“It’s a good sword. If you do well at the same level, even silver level mercenaries will likely use it. I don’t know the prices in detail, but… … Still, I think I’ll get 400 points?”
About 400 points could be earned by completing 8 low-level missions.
‘The price for the general grade is this high.’
When a skeleton made 10 items, magic would appear for about 3 of them.
Magic grade will probably sell for a lot more.
I looked at the receptionist.
“Do you have any further questions?”
“150 cities. Is there a long distance from each of you?”
“If you go by horse-drawn carriage, it takes about a day to get to nearby places.”
After speaking, Malcolm took out a piece of paper and drew a picture.
One small circle.
One larger circle on top of it.
He said, drawing a series of circles like that.
“Our city number 123 is located here.”
Malcolm said, pointing to the corner of the largest of the circles.
The distance is not too far.
‘Good.’
From cities 1 to 150.
I wondered if it was a completely disconnected structure, but that wasn’t the case. It’s just that the distance between each city is a little wider.
If it’s like this… … .
“Maybe there’s a top too?”
“Sure?”
Score Copy Plan.
I think I found it.
Existing items cannot be traded.
There is no point in making things with the materials you already have.
Because I can’t sell it.
But what if you make something with the materials you get here?
Is that even a ban on commerce?
‘Probably not.’
Isn’t that an existing item?
If it was somewhere like the top, there would naturally be a lot of ingredients piled up there.
There was no place like this to supply ingredients.
“Where is the biggest top here?”
“The Malay top is the most famous. “We are trading with 30 nearby cities.”
I nodded with satisfaction.
How to copy scores by crafting.
The ingredients must be easy to obtain.
It would be better if there were a lot of consumers there.
‘About 30 cities… … .’
There will also be an abundance of silver and gold level mercenaries. And the demand was not limited there.
There will be a castle lord in the city, and there will also be guards and knights.
Everyone would want good weapons and armor.
‘very good.’
Besides that, I asked a few more questions. After getting all the necessary information… … .
“What if I do something like transfer scores?”
“Just think about it.”
As the receptionist said, I thought about it.
It was that moment.
[Would you like to hand over 50 points to ‘Receptionist’ Malcolm?]
Oh, it really works.
I nodded.
[Score will be transferred to Malcolm!]
Malcolm, who was suddenly handed 50 points, opened his eyes wide.
“Eh? Why are you doing this to me? … .”
“It’s an information fee.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Malcolm says thank you with a bewildered look on his face. It may have been annoying, but it was a reward for answering sincerely.
“If you have any questions, feel free to…” … .”
“Ah, that’s it now. “Okay then.”
I joined the mercenary guild.
Even so, it’s a Marchen that looks like a human.
Even though he was accompanying Cedric, who looked completely like a skeleton, the citizens’ interest was not that great.
As Malcolm said, it certainly seemed like a good city for a necromancer to live in.
After walking for about 20 minutes, we saw our destination.
〈Malay Upper Branch〉
Top.
[Accumulate the most points in a week.]
[If you collect scores above a certain level, something special may happen.]
It was said that if you collect points, something special will happen.
What is it?
I’ll have to copy the score here and take a look.
fantasy,
