The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 66: He Wins Three Times


Sea Flip busied himself with preparing breakfast, as usual sending meals to where they needed to go. Finally, after a quick tidy-up, he set out to find Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching.

Mr. Zhou was now with the new players, helping to build houses for the Merfolk, temporarily unable to leave. Naturally, after crafting a large pot, finding Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching seemed more reliable.

After asking other players for directions, Sea Flip quickly found Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching.

"Mr. Qian, I need to craft a large pot. Can you help?" Sea Flip got straight to the point with his request.

Upon hearing there was business, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching immediately perked up: "What's difficult about a pot? A large pot, right? How large do you need it?"

Sea Flip immediately specified the size he needed.

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching was momentarily stunned: "That large? Are you sure? Since when did Mage Fang Ka eat so much?"

Sea Flip shrugged helplessly: "It's not about Mage Fang Ka, I'm preparing meals for the Merfolk."

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching realized: "You've received the hidden chef task, preparing large pot meals for the Merfolk?"

Sea Flip neither confirmed nor denied: "Yes, it's urgent. What's the cost?"

"No problem, Xiao Zhou is solving the Merfolk's housing issues, you're taking care of the meals." Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching thought for a moment, then held up a finger: "One Silver Coin."

Without any hesitation, Sea Flip said: "No problem, deal."

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching was momentarily stunned, then felt some regret.

Seeing Sea Flip's demeanor, it was clear he'd gained considerable benefits from this chef task. Such a wealthy mogul should have been properly exploited to earn himself some pocket money.

Sea Flip grinned: "Mr. Qian, I'll come to pick up the pot by noon, okay? I'll head back to the kitchen now to build a large stove to place the pot on."

"Alright, no problem, go ahead with your tasks." Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching waved him off.

Building a stove was naturally not a difficult task for an experienced player like Sea Flip.

By noon, after getting lunch ready, he'd pick up the pot and set it up on the stove, completing the preparations.

Meanwhile, the Merfolk worked efficiently, and the kitchen was filled with numerous ingredients sent over by the Merfolk.

The next morning, Sea Flip woke early to prepare the meals, filling them in the large wooden tubs he had prepared, ready for the Merfolk to line up and collect their meals.

He didn't wait long; the Merfolk quickly came over with their self-made wooden utensils, lining up to collect meals.

For a moment, Sea Flip felt like he'd become a cafeteria lady, almost unable to resist shaking his hands.

Thankfully, he quickly realized this wasn't feeding students.

Meanwhile, Fang Ka enjoyed his exclusive breakfast in the kitchen.

His breakfast wasn't part of the large pot meal but was specially prepared for him earlier by Sea Flip using a small stove.

Distinctly different from the Merfolk's food, it clearly showed his special status in Sea Flip's eyes.

Fang Ka felt quite gratified, having done so much for the players before, it hadn't gone to waste after all.

After breakfast, he walked out of the kitchen, and the Merfolk were almost done collecting their meals.

He returned to the lounge chair in front of the Ancient Castle and began meditating.

Mr. Zhou led the new players with high efficiency; in the following days, they completely finished the construction of the Merfolk Base.

The Merfolk houses were built with a quaint charm, looking like a small ancient town, quite picturesque.

Fang Ka settled the team tasks for the new players and then issued two new team tasks.

"Level 1 Team Task: Sow Seeds."

"Task Requirements: Sow the various Magic Potion Seeds bestowed by Mage Fang Ka according to the Sowing Guide."

"Reward Pool: 5 Gold Coins, 50 experience, 500 points."

"Note: Sowing Guide, can be viewed."

"Level 1 Team Task: Construct Magic Potion Protection Area."

"Task Requirements: Enclose the sowing area with wooden fences, set traps around to prevent animals from digging up Magic Potion Seeds."

"Reward Pool: 5 Gold Coins, 50 experience, 500 points."

Currently, there are still many magic potions on the Island, but as his power grows stronger, and more players join, they need foresight.

Many animals like to dig up seeds, so once the Magic Potion Seeds are sown, they become quite insecure.

Previously, when Kain was around, after sowing seeds, he would set up a Magic Array to block off all Magic Potion Seed sowing areas, preventing any animals from approaching.

Only when the Magic Potions sprout and naturally emit a scent that animals hate, would the Magic Array be lifted.

Indeed, Magic Potions are different from ordinary plants; they typically have this characteristic where they emit a specific scent after sprouting to protect themselves.

This scent is rather special, not spreading far, but lingering around themselves, deterring animals that approach to protect against accidental consumption.

Fang Ka also considered this approach, which is simple to implement, especially with Xia Lin as a ready labor force, not difficult for her at all.

However, this leads to a problem, that is, various Magic Potions need to be sown across the land modified by Kain.

This means the Magic Potion Seed sowing areas contain a large number of mature, harvestable Magic Potions.

If a Magic Array was used to block them off completely, these harvestable Magic Potions would also be sealed.

Consequently, players wouldn't be able to gather Magic Potions for crafting Enhancing Potions.

Thus, this method was ruled out by Fang Ka.

True to the idea that one should make the most of everything, he came up with this plan.

Hand it over to the players, saving time, effort, and worry, while players gain more benefits and accelerate their growth.

A win-win-win-win situation, benefiting him thrice.

To players, these two team tasks seemed much easier than building houses, and they eagerly accepted them.

However, after looking at the Sowing Guide, they realized they were excited too soon.

Sowing is absolutely not a simple task.

It requires a high level of complex skill.

But the rewards are rich, so they're quite willing to study and learn.

Seeing these players gather to start discussing the Sowing Guide, Fang Ka nodded in satisfaction and returned to his exclusive lounge chair to continue meditating.

He's felt quite good these past few days, believing he'll soon break through to become a Low Tier Mage.

Putting Fang Ka in a good mood.

At this time, Mr. Zhou eagerly joined the group of new players.

He had already received his deserved reward from the newbies, but he still needed more money.
