Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

The world of the dead, the torment dungeon, the laboratory.

The eerie green phosphorescent flames burned quietly inside the lampshade, enveloping the entire laboratory in a cold, deep-sea-like light.

The air was filled with formaldehyde, preservatives, and some indescribable putrid odor.

Lin Qi, wearing a dark gray lab coat, was busy at the control panel.

On the control panel lay a zombie.

Beside the workbench were several glasswares. A large beaker contained a dark red liquid, which was the original petrified cell extract from Grom.

Although he didn't personally participate in the battle to conquer the Labour Pass, he would review the battlefield data in detail through the system panel after each round of battles fought by the undead.

Based on the observed results, the giant Grom performed exceptionally well on the battlefield, and his Stone Skin armor greatly enhanced his defensive capabilities.

Aside from the three Minotaur brothers, it is currently the undead with the least battle damage and the fewest times it has returned to the cemetery to recuperate.

therefore,

Lynch wanted to see if he could replicate Grom's Stoneskin Armor on other undead minions as well.

The Torture Dungeon contains Mordred's complete experimental notes. Previously, I couldn't study them due to insufficient basic knowledge, but after studying the second floor of the library, these problems were easily solved.

It allows one to gain a deeper understanding of the world and acquire knowledge, while also enhancing one's own capabilities; there's no reason not to do it.

A soft rustling sound rang out.

Lynch used tweezers to pick up a piece of grayish-white crystalline substance, placed it in a mortar, and stirred it thoroughly with a glass rod.

Then he picked up a silver scalpel and made small cuts on the zombie's body.

Finally, take a small brush and apply the prepared cell solution from the mortar to the surface, creating streaks of grayish-white lines.

After doing all this, he put down the brush, raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and aimed his palm at the zombie's chest.

Lin Qi took a deep breath, his expression becoming somewhat tense.

Despite having Mordred's complete experimental notes, it was still not easy to carry out the actual operation. Lynch had failed countless times in the past few days.

The food is one thing, but the main problem is the lack of skill.

Meditation lv2.

This is Lynch's current apprentice level.

Don't think Lynch is being lazy. In fact, since the day he embarked on the path of wizardry, he has never stopped his daily meditation, which he performs twice a day, morning and evening, reaching the limit of his daily meditation.

It's simply because the path of a wizard is inherently difficult.

In the original Necromancer world, the path of the wizard is a long and arduous journey, with apprentices advancing in rank often taking years.

In the game, players only need to click the mouse and wait for the progress bar to move, but in real life, when it comes to actually training...

It's really not easy.

However, it's not entirely impossible to improve efficiency and speed up cultivation. There are too many things that increase experience in the undead world, such as potions, cultivation rooms, and rare materials.

Let's take it one step at a time.

"The petrifying power originating from the abyss, now obey my command..."

The obscure chanting of incantations began, each syllable like a key, vibrating in the air and creating ripples invisible to the naked eye.

The grayish-white lines on the corpse began to glow, and the lines began to spread, spreading outwards from the sternum, extending along the ribs to both sides, and climbing upwards along the spine.

The grayish-white light drew a complex, root-like pattern on the zombie's bones, with each branch precisely covering a bone.

Just as success seemed imminent, a sudden shock came from his mental energy. The clear patterns on the test subject's body became blurry again, and there were even faint signs of collapse.

Damn it! It's happening again!

Lin Qi frowned deeply. This was a sign of insufficient control over his mental energy, and he had failed here several times before.

Level 2 meditation only provides 5.2 mental strength, and more importantly, the control over mental strength is too weak, making it somewhat of a stretch for experiments at this level.

Having learned from his previous experiences, Lin Qi was able to hold on this time. He gritted his teeth and did not give up. Instead, he increased the output and guidance of his mental energy.

Gradually, the blurry patterns became clear and stable again.

The grayish-white patterns spread across the bones again, faster than ever before, but this time, they were no longer out of control.

They spread along the ribs, converged at the sternum, then went up the spine, and extended along the shoulder blades to the arms, each step landing precisely where Lynch expected.

The stone-like substance began to solidify on the surface of the muscle, forming a smooth, uniform, porcelain-like, fine gray substance.

It clings tightly to the muscles, like a custom-made suit of armor, neither too thick nor too thin, just enough to cover every inch of the body's outer surface.

"It...it was a success?"

Lin Qi's furrowed brows relaxed instantly, and an indescribable joy burst forth from him, even his voice carrying a hint of excitement.

A fine sword is forged through tempering and honing!

at last,

After repeatedly falling and getting back up, Lin Qi finally stood on the other side of success.

These past few days have been incredibly tough on him.

"Finally got it done!"

Lin Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately felt happy. All the fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days seemed to vanish in that instant.

So,

What kind of changes will this first magical creation, made after I embarked on the path of a wizard, undergo?

He couldn't wait to open the system panel.

【Dominate the Undead: Dungeon Zombies (Petrified)】

[Level: LV11]

[Attributes: Strength 16.3, Agility 16.8, Constitution 28.1.]

[New Skill: Stone Skin Armor (Passive)]

[Petrified Skin: The skin's surface is covered with a layer of hardened stone armor, increasing defense by 10%]

That's awesome!

A constitution of 28.1 is equivalent to that of a high-ranking knight.

With just one modification, this zombie, which originally only had mid-level knight attributes, broke through to the high-level knight level in one of its attributes.

It's like they've been given a cheat code!

"Ha ha!"

Lin Qi was overjoyed: "I'm rich now!"

His joy stemmed not only from completing a modification experiment, but more importantly from obtaining crucial verification—

It is possible to increase the strength of one's undead servants.

It's important to know that in the original game, aside from a few special units like heroes, the undead controlled by the player would always remain at their original level and would never change.

But through this experiment, he successfully verified that this setting can be changed in reality.

In other words, as long as he has enough knowledge, he can continuously modify the undead creatures under his command to make them evolve and become stronger.

Even a small skeleton soldier can be transformed into an existence comparable to the Tyrant of Hell or the Lord of Eternal Night!

"If these things really existed, clearing the Land of the Dead would be a piece of cake!"

If Lin Qi could get all the late-game and even very late-game units out early on, he couldn't even imagine how awesome it would be to sweep through the undead world.
