Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

"Haha! What a big surprise! It's a really big surprise!"

Lynch was overjoyed.

He quickly pulled off the gloves and put them on.

Then he summoned the last skeleton, which was carrying a huge leather backpack.

This is a support skeleton that Lin Qi specially set aside for logistics; all the equipment it drops is stuffed into its backpack.

The game features an inventory system, but the initial capacity is too small to hold much.

Players then need to build a 'warehouse' structure in the game to expand the capacity, but that thing can only be built after the base reaches level 10, and it costs a lot of money.

Since they could travel between the two worlds, the warehouse issue wasn't a major concern for the time being, so Lin Qi didn't rush to build it.

Lynch opened the backpack on the skeleton and took out a pair of boots.

That's right, this is the Boots of Wisdom, one of the seven pieces of wisdom.

I got these boots not long ago, but since my plate armor is a one-piece suit and the boots can't be tucked inside like clothes and pants, I haven't equipped them yet.

However, now that we have all four pieces, the situation is different...

"Jingle bells!"

Lin Qi removed his heavy armor, and the heavy plate armor made a crisp sound as it fell to the ground.

"Finally, I don't have to wear this awful stuff anymore!"

This medieval armor looks imposing, but only those who actually wear it know how uncomfortable it is; it's so stuffy it can make you feel suffocated.

If he weren't afraid of dying, Lin Qi would have removed this thing long ago.

After putting on his boots, Lynch also put on the gloves he had just received.

At that very moment, the runes on the clothes, pants, gloves, and boots suddenly lit up.

A pale blue glow spread outwards along the paths between the runes, eventually connecting them together.

At the same time, a crisp system notification sounded in my ear:

[Detected that all four pieces of the Wisdom Set have been collected, automatically activating the set bonus: Rune Energy Shield]

[Rune Energy Shield: An invisible energy shield automatically generates around the player, protecting them from damage from the surrounding environment]

That's the charm of a set!

In the world of the dead, players will automatically activate set bonuses once they collect a complete set.

There are generally two set bonuses. One is automatically activated when you collect and wear all four pieces of the set, while the other is activated only when you collect the entire set.

After standing still, Lin Qi looked himself up and down.

A short, high-necked, deep blue silk top with a satin-like sheen. The body features a row of buttons, giving it a sleek and elegant look. The sleeves are adorned with mysterious runes embroidered in purple silk thread.

The bottoms were a pair of pure black slim-fit trousers with clean lines, and the outside of the trouser legs were embroidered with runes in the same style as the top.

He wore a pair of black, shiny high-top riding boots, the surface of which was smooth and gleaming, with faint runic halos flowing around them.

Paired with a pair of pure white gloves printed with a six-pointed star pattern, she stood out from the crowd.

Noble, elegant, and mysterious.

"Now that's more like the mage!"

After enjoying himself for a while, Lin Qi opened the portal, threw the plate armor he had removed back into the training room, and then continued on his way with the skeletons.

After these days of fighting, his strength has made significant progress again.

First, it controls the dead.

After his mental strength improved, his efficiency in practicing skills increased significantly. Now, Lin Qi commands one or two undead whenever he has a spare moment.

After the training intensity was greatly increased, his skill level also improved by leaps and bounds. In just one month, Lin Qi improved by two levels.

Dominate the undead lv8.

The maximum number of undead that can be controlled by a level 8 Domination skill has increased to 21, breaking the 20-undead barrier for the first time. The maximum Domination level has also been increased to level 20 (Tier 1).

He can now control any undead below the wizard level.

Aside from the lich who had followed him from the very beginning, the remaining 21 undead he controlled were replaced by dungeon skeletons and dungeon zombies.

A type of undead similar to the dungeon skeletons, also evolved from elite Imperial soldiers, with similar attributes, only slightly different in appearance.

There's no way around it; aside from the boss, there are only three types of monsters in the Torture Dungeon: Dungeon Skeletons, Dungeon Zombies, and False Undead.

Even if Lin Qi wanted to change to other undead, he couldn't find suitable material.

but...

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this situation should change after today...

"Da da da!"

"Click click click!"

"Hehe!"

Footsteps, along with the sounds of bones grinding and the hissing of drafty pipes, echoed through the dark underground corridor.

Lin Qi, carrying a lantern, walked forward under the protection of a group of undead.

As Lin Qi surveyed his surroundings, he muttered to himself, "We should be almost at the BOSS room, right?"

The entire Torture Palace is no smaller than the Bone Wasteland, and exploring it all by oneself would be both strenuous and unrewarding.

The correct way to play is to first defeat the BOSS, conquer the Torture Dungeon, and then let your subordinates farm the rest.

"Um?"

Just then, Lin Qi seemed to notice something and stopped in front of a corridor.

He squinted at the corridor for a while, then took a step back and beckoned a dungeon skeleton from the undead ranks behind him.

He took a torch from his backpack, lit it, and handed it to the skeleton, ordering it to carry the torch forward.

The dungeon skeleton took the torch and walked stiffly into the corridor.

The torchlight illuminated the stone walls on both sides of the corridor.

Unlike the bustling other corridors, this one is filled with a large number of undead.

The corridor was unusually quiet, the air above was desolate, there were no skeletons or zombies, only broken bones scattered on the ground, which was very eerie.

The skeleton continued forward.

One step, two steps, three steps—

"Click".

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from beneath my feet.

A stone brick that the skeleton was stepping on suddenly sank in.

moment!

Countless hidden holes suddenly appeared on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor. They were densely packed, stretching from the base of the walls all the way to the dome.

Behind each hidden hole was a crossbow bolt, its tip gleaming coldly with metallic light in the torchlight.

Without pause, without warning—

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

A dense burst of wind-breaking sounds exploded simultaneously, like a thousand bees flapping their wings at the same instant.

Countless crossbow bolts shot out from the hidden holes, weaving together to form a dense metal net that completely covered the entire corridor.

The dungeon skeleton holding the torch didn't even have time to turn around before it was engulfed by a hail of arrows.

The crossbow bolts pierced its leather armor, embedded themselves in its bones, pinned it to the wall, and pierced the ground.

The skeleton trembled violently in the rain of arrows, bone fragments flew everywhere, and the green flames in its eye sockets flickered twice before going out.

"Splash—"

Skeletons lay scattered on the ground, bone fragments and arrows mixed together, and torches rolled nearby, still sizzling and illuminating the ruins.

An intact dungeon skeleton was instantly destroyed.

However, Lin Qi's eyes lit up at that moment.

"Finally found it!"
