Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

[Note]: The complete energy model of the "Reading Time Limit Permission Lock" has been recorded, the dynamic verification algorithm has been reverse-engineered, and simulation replication is feasible.

[WARNING]: Replicating requires the core energy signature of the original permission imprint. This signature is bound to a specific issuing artifact, and the success rate of direct replication is less than 0.1%.

Suggested solution: Create a counterfeit signing device, infuse it with a simulated energy signature derived through reverse deduction, and perform "forged signing".

Just then, the 24-hour hourglass ran out, and Lynn was "sent" out of the second-floor entrance by an irresistible spatial force.

Without lingering outside, Lynn went straight back to the lab and immediately began studying the results of the [Analysis].

After some research, it was discovered that while the crack was successful, a crucial element was missing for a perfect replica – the skull-shaped artifact.

The analysis also provides an alternative solution: gather some materials to craft a "Radish Seal" with the same effect.

These alternative materials are not expensive and can be purchased at the Ghost Market.

Lynn quickly gathered all the materials.

A bronze ingot of similar quality, a small amount of soul dust, a few drops of Shadow Leopard's heart blood, and some energy-conducting mithril wires for etching runes.

Guided by the [Analysis], Lynn spent two whole days clumsily using alchemy techniques and runic knowledge to painstakingly "carve" out an impression.

Its appearance is seven or eight parts similar to the old butler's, but its internal energy circuit is exactly the same as the bronze skull seal constructed by the reverse model.

Looking at the somewhat ugly "radish seal," Lynn felt a little embarrassed.

Unfortunately, despite having the advantage of external assistance, I've spent most of the past six months cultivating and haven't had time to practice my "secondary profession."

I should still explore this area in the future, and like Gregor, become a "well-rounded talent".

After all, once I become a formal wizard, I can't just set up a stall in the Ghost Market to provide answers and solutions for people; that would be too low-class.

With the help of cheat codes, you can level up your secondary profession and make magic stones roll in.

Taking a deep breath, Lynn aligned the bottom of his homemade "radish stamp" with a blank area on the back of the Soul Gold plaque.

Mobilize your mental energy and slowly infuse it down according to the energy frequency simulated in the [analysis].

hum...

A layer of pale blue light appeared, and a mark that was exactly the same as the previous structure, "Second-level viewing permission (24 hourglasses)," was imprinted on the nameplate!

It even simulated the subtle "verification" feeling that was similar to the academy's core magic array!

Lynn couldn't help but get excited.

Did you make it?

After using the [Analysis] tool to compare the structures of the two again, I found that although there are some minor flaws, the overall functions are the same.

I wonder if they'll find out...

We'll find out if it works or not by testing!

Without hesitation, Lynn set off again for the second floor of the ossuary.

Gregor looked at Lynn, whom he had been fiddling with for the past two days, with some confusion.

What's this kid up to? Is he trying to cause me trouble again?

Lynn did not mention the "forging of official seals" to Gregor, after all, damaging the interests of the academy was a serious offense.

If he finds out, he might get so angry that he'll expel me from the sect, and that would be the end of me.

Upon arriving at the second-floor entrance of the ossuary, Lynn placed the nameplate on the center of the barrier.

The light of the barrier swept over, and the screen froze for a few breaths as if it had crashed...

This computer crash made Lynn's heart jump into her throat.

Did I mess this up again? Can this thing even fool the verification?

A few breaths later, the blue light on the barrier flickered again, and the hazy light curtain enveloping the bone ladder silently parted to the sides.

Verification successful!

The door to knowledge opened for him once again!

It worked!

He actually forged a "temporary access" that could fool the access control!

...

In the days that followed, Lynn entered a period of intense "accumulation," and with the support of ample resources, he experienced tremendous growth.

And so, he cautiously and surviving for another year in this dark wizard's academy!

Gregor successfully secured him the title of "Junior Research Fellow".

After passing two rounds of knowledge assessments, Lynn became a proud "Junior Researcher" at the Shadow of Bones Academy, exempting him from the mandatory monthly tasks.

The research assistant's "eye badge" now has an extra star, and the monthly salary of 100 contribution points has increased to 300 contribution points.

However, a valuable research report must be submitted every month; failure to do so multiple times will result in the loss of the title and all benefits.

This is not difficult for Lynn; with the analysis panel, he can shine in every aspect.

Throughout the year, he would use the "Mimicry" skill to "cautiously" forge permissions once every ten days or so, in order to avoid attracting attention with frequent abnormal access.

【Mimicry】While it may not fool the formal wizards on the second floor, it can fool the many apprentices on the first floor.

As a third-class apprentice, wandering aimlessly in the official wizarding area would definitely attract the attention of these apprentices.

If someone makes a nasty remark and exposes you, then you're done for.

As for formal wizards, there's no need to worry. They look down on him, this insignificant little apprentice, and wouldn't bother to report him to the deacon.

Even so, Lynn kept his distance from those formal wizards, maintaining both respect and a sense of distance.

As Lynn's knowledge accumulated, his cheat codes became increasingly powerful.

While "free-loading" knowledge in the second-level free zone, they are also slowly breaking down the barriers of those paid restricted zones.

However, the restrictions imposed by the second-level formal wizards were truly formidable, and even after a year of intermittent efforts, they had only managed to break through 45%.

The rest of the time, Lynn devoted himself to cultivation, researching newly acquired knowledge, improving and optimizing witchcraft, and using the huge sum of money at his disposal to strengthen himself and the undead.

With the help of several optimized versions of the [Soul Whisper Meditation Method] and a large number of magic stones, his mental strength soared to 97 points.

I'm only three points away from meeting the standard for becoming a formal wizard!

If it weren't for the fact that mental strength increases more and more slowly as time goes on, Lynn's mental strength would probably have already broken through 100 points by now!

The biggest change, however, is in the mental vortex.

With each layer perfectly condensed, his mental vortex, in terms of both scale and stability, far exceeded the limits of an ordinary third-class apprentice, leaving Gregor in awe.

The mental vortex I had solidified back then wasn't even half the size of this one, was it? And the energy it could absorb was far less.

Is this really the level a third-class apprentice could achieve?

Moreover... his mental vortex hasn't reached its limit yet!

I can't even imagine... how terrifying it would be if this person broke through to become a formal wizard?

Could it be... that I could become the mentor of a great True Spirit Wizard in the future?
