Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Having seized resources for three grades, Zi Liyuan became incredibly wealthy overnight.

The days that followed were a rare taste of academy life.

He spent his days visiting the library, eating delicious food at meal times, and exchanging resources and materials for his woman.

It was a life of utter ease and freedom, of course, if it weren’t for Liu Guozhong’s emotionless pestering, it would have been even better. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The military and political sides of the Great Xia Empire were still not done with their fishing plan; this time, they were determined to resolve many historical legacy issues.

This led to some unrest throughout the Nine Great Divine Provinces, mainly because many centuries-old noble families were purged, leaving a vacuum of interests and benefits.

With some families falling, naturally, others wanted to rise up—why not their own?

Thus, the Great Xia Empire was embroiled in a storm of power struggle and resource hoarding.

However, this storm was controlled within certain limits, affecting mainly the middle and lower tiers.

The intentions of the upper echelons were very clear: to root out those traitorous dogs who colluded with outsiders, and whoever dared to protect them had to be prepared to be purged.

So, for the time being, the storm was far from over.

As the military was the main force, they not only had to destroy monster nests at the borders but also had to suppress riots; naturally, they would face a shortage of supplies.

Zi Liyuan and Shen Yurou’s military company, although continuously expanding production, still faced an enormous shortfall.

Therefore, Liu Guozhong pesters him every now and then, urging him to recruit more staff rapidly, to expand the military company’s output—most importantly, to recruit more Mechanics capable of hastily crafting silver-quality exoskeleton equipment!

This was really a pain, especially since that guy was currently intensively researching robots that could freely control Magic Crystal Cannons along with Shen Yurou and the Lightspeed Shuttling Spaceship.

The completion of the Fourth Order transfer task was the top priority for their family; everything else could take a backseat.

No matter how Liu Guozhong urged, Lord Zi had just one strategy: delay.

When his woman successfully completed her transfer job, then he would get to work.

Of course, Zi Liyuan wasn’t completely idle; he managed to get a hefty list from the military, which contained the details of life professionals who, after thorough screening, were found to be of good standing.

It wasn’t just Mechanics; the list also included professionals related to mechanics, alchemy, and forging.

The number of individuals on this list was as high as ten thousand.

Zi Liyuan was to select talents, naturally, he would choose the ones with high potential and talent.

With the military’s help in recruiting, things moved very quickly. Unfortunately, Shen Yurou didn’t have time to train these talents, so they were left to learn and develop on their own.

That was until this day when Liu Guozhong gave him some information that finally got Lord Zi’s spirit up.

It was detailed information on a Heretical Sect organization called "Void Shadow Divine Assembly." Just by seeing the name, Zi Liyuan instantly felt wide awake.

Long-lost memories came flooding back to him.

The pursuit of the assassin with the curvaceous behind?

The kidnapping by Shadow Stinger squad in the villa?

The villa being blown up as revenge?

All these incidents were the handiwork of such a Heretical Sect, weren’t they?

So, that was a true deep-seated grudge!

"This Void Shadow Divine Assembly’s business seems pretty extensive, huh?"

Within a thick stack of information, everything about the Void Shadow Divine Assembly was revealed in detail, including the connections between noble families in certain places and the sect, everything was explicitly laid out in the intelligence report.

"Giving me this file, do you want me to take action and blast them?"

Raising an eyebrow, Zi Liyuan teased, looking at Liu Guozhong.

"This time around, the Great Xia Empire officially cannot spare extra manpower for the cleanup, so we’d like to trouble you to make a move." Stay connected with empire

Zi Liyuan had a vendetta against those Heretical Sects, and the Great Xia Empire’s officials knew this very well.

Actually, eliminating a mere Void Shadow Divine Assembly didn’t require much effort.

The task was given to him simply to test the waters and to give him a little favor.

After all, Lord Zi had successfully completed the Fourth Order Lord Level transfer task, garnering considerable attention—it was inevitable.

Throughout the history of the Great Xia Empire, the number of individuals who had completed the Fourth Order Lord transfer task could be counted on one’s fingers. Such talents were bound to achieve great things in the future, especially upon entering the Sea of Realms, where they often soared to great heights.

Such a potential talent was not to be alienated nor offended but to be roped in if possible, and to facilitate his endeavors wherever minor conveniences could be granted.

A think tank had specifically analyzed Zi Liyuan’s personality and knew that he was one to hold a grudge. Offering him a small favor within their power was always a good way to gain his favor, wasn’t it?

Besides, the deeds he had done in the Plaster Nation truly gratified the upper echelons of the Great Xia Empire.

"Alright, it’s been many days without any action; my body is almost rusting," he agreed, accepting the small favor, and then they exchanged a batch of equipment and [Heart of the Lord].

After sending Liu Guozhong off, Zi Liyuan went straight to the underground laboratory area.

"Beauties, who wants to go out and have some fun with me?"

Having a bunch of beauties circling around the lab every day wasn’t ideal. It was better to take them out, to fight a few battles, and to gain some experience.

"Where to?"

Number Two was the first to poke her head out from the Formation laboratory and ask.

"Just a stroll through the length and breadth of the Nine Great Divine Provinces, and to squash a few little grasshoppers along the way."

The data provided by Liu Guozhong about the Void Shadow Divine Assembly was very detailed, marking clearly who the high-level individuals were, their strengths, and everything was carefully indicated.
