Global Necromantic Specialist

The Shenxia Empire Exchange is only open to citizens of the Shenxia Empire.

Marsh had the permission to use the exchange, but his permission level was very low—only level one.

To gain greater access, he would need to increase his contribution.

But that was a matter for the future, and it wasn't something he had to worry about right now.

He quickly glanced at the items for sale at the exchange: weapons, armor, jewelry, materials—everything one could think of.

However, everything was far from cheap.

Marsh only had about 100 gold coins, which wasn't even enough to buy the cheapest black iron weapon.

As for the more expensive bronze and silver grade items, they were beyond his reach for now.

After taking note of some low-level materials' prices, Marsh turned his attention to the tasks section.

The monsters in the suburbs of Xihai City ranged between levels 10 and 20, placing them in the low-level zone.

There weren't many related tasks, most of which were for collecting materials.

[Unlimited recycling of green sprout grass, each recycling price: 50 gold coins.]

[Unlimited recycling of black wolf fur, each recycling price: 20 gold coins.]

[Unlimited recycling of animal bones, each recycling price: 30 gold coins.]

Alchemists, blacksmiths, and other life-professions needed a vast amount of materials to train their skills. They would process the raw materials into useful items, which could then be sold for a certain profit.

In the process of skill training, these life-professionals could also increase their level.

This created a good cycle where life-professionals could still develop their skills and generate income at the same time.

"Well, this task... seems a bit interesting."

[Strategy level 14: West Sea Mine dungeon, obtain the dungeon boss, the crystal nucleus of the Goblin King.]

[Note: Only dungeon bosses with difficulty above the nightmare level will drop this item.]

The reward for the task was 100,000 gold coins.

To offer such a reward, it was clear that this task was difficult.

The West Sea Mine was located just over 50 kilometers south of Xihai City.

Marsh didn't plan to go there. The level 14 dungeon required a minimum level of 10 to enter, and his current level wasn't sufficient.

Dungeons could be divided into different levels of difficulty: Normal, Nightmare, and Hell.

Marsh wasn't sure how difficult the nightmare level was.

According to the books, the nightmare level was at least several times harder than the normal level.

Without a strong team, it was almost impossible to attempt.

As for hell-level dungeons, only the most experienced professionals could even think of attempting them.

After looking over the tasks for a while, Marsh decided to leave the exchange and head to the city gate.

"Marsh, level 7, necromancer?"

The city gate guards took the exit certificate from Marsh and confirmed his information.

They were puzzled—how did a level 7 student get permission to leave the city?

After all, the monsters outside the city were at least level 10.

The difference of three levels made it extremely dangerous for someone like Marsh.

Nevertheless, seeing the certificate, the gate guards passed it through without further questioning.

"Your certificate of leaving the city is valid. Unless there are special circumstances, you can freely enter and exit the major cities of our Shenxia Empire."

"There are many monsters outside, so be careful. Pay attention to your safety."

"If you're in danger, run back immediately. It doesn't matter if you lose face—your life is the most important."

"Especially at night, some monsters tend to attack in the dark."

The gate guard kindly warned Marsh.

Marsh gave a slight nod in acknowledgment. "Thank you. I'll be careful."

As he stepped outside the city, a gust of cold wind blew straight at him.

The sky darkened suddenly for a few moments, and the atmosphere seemed to grow heavy with an oppressive aura.

Inside the city, everything was calm, but beyond the city walls, it felt like a completely different world.

"This city wall is not simple," Marsh muttered to himself.

The city wall divided two entirely different realms.

Marsh took a step forward, quickly disappearing into the wilderness.

The air outside the city grew even more suffocating, filled with a bloodthirsty scent.

From time to time, the distant sounds of beastly roars echoed in the distance.

Occasionally, Marsh spotted people fighting monsters. These were mostly professionals above level 10.

The city wall quickly disappeared behind him, and his surroundings were enveloped in a thin layer of fog.

With a thought, a skeleton warrior appeared from the summoning space.

At that moment, Marsh had 28 skeleton warriors in the summoning space. After meditating the night before to recover his mental strength, he had summoned four more.

Marsh's gaze fell upon a monster about twenty meters ahead. "Go, kill that monster."

The skeleton warrior immediately moved, its bones clicking with each step.

At the same time, Marsh cast a detection spell.

[Goblin Patrol]

[Level: 10]

[Power: 120]

[Agility: 50]

[Spirit: 50]

[Physique: 120]

[Skill: None]

The goblin patrol had a ferocious expression, holding a large mace.

This monster relied mainly on strength, and its agility and spirit were rather low.

The physique wasn't bad, suggesting its tough, durable body.

But these attributes paled in comparison to Marsh's skeleton warrior, whose four main attributes totaled an impressive 750.

Here in the wilderness, the goblin horde dominated.

They occupied a vast area stretching all the way to the West Sea Mine, located 50 kilometers away.

The skeleton warrior reached the goblin patrol in the blink of an eye.

Noticing the skeleton warrior, the goblin patrol launched the first attack, swinging its mace with a powerful roar.

The skeleton warrior did not attempt to dodge and took the full blow. The impact was loud, and the goblin's strength shook the skeleton warrior.

But that was all. The skeleton warrior, unfazed, raised its tattered sword and swung it toward the goblin.
