Chapter 260 Part-time Job: Pharmacist, Undead Resource Points!
Gu Yueyuan carefully examined the two items in his hands, his eyes gleaming with thoughtful intent.
He said, "These two resources are crucial to me."
This frog drum not only helps me better select and hatch stronger swarms of insects, but it also has many similarities and complementarities with my professional skills.
If I can fully understand how this Frog Drum works, I might even be able to improve the skills of our Hive Walkers.
He turned his gaze to the "Mental Shock" skill book in his hand and continued, "Although this skill book doesn't have much direct use for my main body, since you learned it from the Ferocious Ant Queen's magic crystal, it can definitely be used on monsters like the Ferocious Ant."
Through the spellcasting principles explained in this skill book, I might be able to develop innate skills for a swarm of ferocious ants, thereby significantly enhancing their combat capabilities.
Gu Yueyuan carefully examined the frog drum in Fangzhou's hand and gently tapped the drumhead.
A faint ripple of vibration immediately spread through the air, as if one could sense the life force deep within the swamp.
He closed his eyes, focusing on the subtle resonance, and a series of possible ideas emerged in his mind.
How to integrate this power into one's own swarm, making them more organized and powerful.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zhou handed the two precious resources directly to Gu Yueyuan and said, "Senior Brother Gu, please take a look."
This frog drum is a rare artifact that was seized from the leader of the swamp frogs.
It can attract and repel common insect-type monsters found in swamps.
This skill book, "Mental Shock," is something I stumbled upon and came to understand while purifying the Queen Ant's Magic Crystal.
These two items might be of some use to you.
Gu Yueyuan's usually calm and composed face underwent a subtle change at this moment due to the frog croaking drum and the mental shock skill book handed over by Fang Zhou.
A rare look of shock appeared in his numb eyes.
He gently spread his hands, his fingertips lightly touching the smooth surface of the frog drum.
As a Hive Walker, he possesses the unique ability to communicate with the Zerg.
And this ability seemed to be sublimated the moment it came into contact with the frog drum.
"Junior Fangzhou," Gu Yueyuan's voice was deep and powerful, "what you gave me was far more than just two items; it was the key to unlocking a new world."
This frog drum not only enhances my control over the insect swarm, but more importantly, it has an incredible synergy with my professional skills.
If I can delve deeper into the mysteries behind it, perhaps I can create a completely new skill system for the Hive Walker, making our class even more powerful and glorious.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yueyuan's gaze turned to the Mental Impact Skill Book. It was a thin booklet, but it contained combat wisdom extracted from the Ferocious Ant Queen's Magic Crystal.
As I just mentioned, this skill book, while not directly enhancing my personal combat power, contains the essence extracted from the ferocious ant colony.
I am confident that by studying its spellcasting principles, I can develop unique innate skills for the ferocious ant swarm.
Imagine how much their combat power would increase once these little guys mastered psychic attacks!
Fangzhou listened quietly, nodding silently in his heart.
Gu Yueyuan's insights coincided with his initial assumptions.
Based on Ark's extensive experience in deducing and refining the Necromancer's class skills, the Hive Walker class, under the leadership of the legendary king with the title "Hive Swarm Obscures the Sun" on the Human-Demon battlefield, clearly has a much higher combat power and professional status than the Necromancer.
However, just like the Necromancer, the Hivewalker also faces the dilemma of having a limited skill set and obvious class weaknesses.
Although Gu Yueyuan, this insect hive traveler, is quite good in both talent and luck, he must still be troubled by these difficulties.
After all, in order to survive in this perilous world, talent and luck alone are far from enough.
A strong profession often requires a deep foundation, which is usually composed of a rich skill set and diverse tactical options.
Therefore, from this perspective, the resources that Ark provided to Guyueyuan were extremely valuable.
Whether it's the Ferocious Ant Queen's Magic Crystal or the other precious crystal, this crystal not only enhances the combat power of insectoid creatures but also helps Gu Yueyuan master higher-level insectoid summoning techniques.
It's still that frog-croaking drum that can gather insect-like monsters from the swamp. Once this drum is struck, it can summon insects to aid in battle.
Or perhaps the "Mental Shock" skill book, a manual that teaches the user a powerful mental attack technique, enough to throw the enemy into chaos instantly.
These resources can greatly enhance the cultural heritage.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou stopped being polite and spoke directly to Gu Yueyuan: "Senior Brother Gu, a gentleman helps others achieve their goals."
Since these resources are very useful to you, I am happy to offer them to you in exchange.
The resources I need are mainly those specific to necromancers, such as special materials required by necromancers or treasures that can enhance undead creatures.
In addition, I also need resources like the Mirror of the Heart and Moon Spring Water, which can nourish the soul or restore spiritual power and directly improve cultivation efficiency.
Of course, if none of these resources are available, then I would appreciate it if Senior Brother Gu could use his experience to see what other resources I might be able to use.
After all, as a seasoned Hive Walker, you certainly know better than I which resources are truly valuable.
Upon hearing Fang Zhou's words, a troubled expression immediately appeared on Gu Yueyuan's face.
His brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
He pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing something deep within his heart, before finally speaking: "Junior Brother Fang, I'm afraid I don't have any of the exclusive resources required by necromancers readily available here."
However, when I went to the Beast Mountain Range to carry out a mission, I did discover several signs of activity that resembled undead creatures.
Based on what I learned at military school, this is very likely a sign of the existence of some undead relic.
Because those roaming undead creatures were extremely troublesome, I didn't dare to explore further at the time. I simply recorded the location. I can confirm that, at least to my knowledge, this location has not been discovered by anyone else.
Gu Yueyuan's eyes hardened, as if he had made up his mind.
He continued, "If you're interested, I'd be happy to share the exact location of this resource point that might contain undead attributes with you. In fact, if you'd like, I can even personally accompany you to explore it."
After all, having one more person increases the safety factor considerably.
Even highly trained individuals like us wouldn't dare to let our guard down in a place like the Beast Mountain Range.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou nodded without the slightest hesitation.
He highly values any information related to undead attribute resources.
Moreover, it is a potential treasure that has never been explored before.
Especially at this moment, he has not yet fully developed an effective way to transfer resources between his main body and his clones, so he still needs to rely on the resources produced by Earth and the mythical world.
With this in mind, this newly discovered resource site is of particular importance.
Seeing that Fangzhou had agreed, Gu Yueyuan sent Fangzhou a detailed map of the Beast Mountain Range and its coordinates without hesitation.
Fangzhou then opened his personal terminal to examine the map, carefully scrutinizing every detail.
As his gaze gradually shifted, a sense of surprise arose within him.
He discovered that the undead attribute resource point provided by Gu Yueyuan was not far away from the location where Yue Pengfei had previously discovered the Naraku civilization relic "Sky Curtain Magic Bottle".
Gu Yueyuan, as the number one seed student in the second year, is far stronger than his peers and has reached the lower level of Black Iron.
As a third-year student, Yue Pengfei and his team members were all ranked below Iron rank.
Therefore, the areas they can explore are roughly the same.
Although Gu Yueyuan, as a one-man army of insect hive walkers, may be far superior to ordinary soldiers like Yue Pengfei in terms of individual combat power.
However, Yue Pengfei has his own well-coordinated military academy team as support, so his overall combat strength is definitely superior to Gu Yueyuan's.
A rare relic of the Naraku civilization.
Undead creatures that roam freely.
These undead creatures were surprisingly concentrated in this small, confined area.
This immediately sparked a bold conjecture in Fang Zhou's mind.
Perhaps that place really does harbor some exclusive resources with undead attributes.
It is even quite possible that it is a fragment of an ancient ruin from the Naraku civilization.
This conjecture made Fangzhou's heart pound, and an unprecedented excitement and anticipation surged in his chest.
But he knew that this was not the time to reveal his emotions.
The learning and experience he gained during this period taught him how to remain calm in any situation.
So, on the surface, he remained calm and showed no sign of distress, but only he knew the turmoil raging inside him.
He casually shut down his personal terminal, nodded to Gu Yueyuan, and said, "Senior Brother Gu, I will only be qualified to explore this place after I break through the bottleneck and reach the Black Iron level."
That's really a long way off for me right now.
When I'm strong enough, I might need your help to accompany me.
The deeper meaning behind Fang Zhou's words is obvious.
The map marked with the coordinates of resources exclusive to the undead was not enough to exchange for such abundant supplies from him.
Gu Yueyuan was not a fool; he immediately understood the implied meaning in Fang Zhou's words.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to open his spatial storage capsule again, select some items from it, and carefully push them in front of the Ark.
"Junior Brother Fang," Gu Yueyuan said gently, "as for the mental recovery or soul nourishment resources you mentioned earlier, I really don't have any more to offer you in trade."
However, I have some trinkets here that I made myself, which might be of some use to you.
As he spoke, he pointed to an exquisite data transmission key, a significant achievement he had made since becoming a pharmacist.
"Our profession, the Hive Walker, relies heavily on various potions during training and combat."
Therefore, the moment I broke through to the Black Iron level, I chose Alchemist as my secondary profession.
This key contains the books and personal insights I gained on successfully acquiring the Pharmacist secondary profession skill.
It not only contains the formulas for basic potions, but also records some special potion formulas passed down through generations of our insect hive walker profession.
Examples include practical medicines for repelling insects, eliminating venomous insects, dissolving corpses, and eliminating odors.
The formulas for these potions are closely guarded secrets within our Hive Walker profession and are rarely disclosed to the public.
And my willingness to share with you is based on your potential.
Then, his gaze shifted to the dozen or so brightly colored medicine bottles placed to the side.
"These are some potions that I have carefully prepared during this period of time."
Although their quality isn't top-of-the-line, they're quite good for apprentice-level users.
Consider these a gift from me.
Fangzhou steadily accepted the data transmission key handed to him by Guyueyuan, a sense of anticipation filling his heart.
He inserted the key into his personal terminal.
As the screen lights up, lines of text and complex formulas appear before your eyes.
Fangzhou glanced through the document and gradually his understanding began to clear.
As Gu Yueyuan previously stated, this material is like an introductory guide for those who aspire to become part-time pharmacists.
If someone has a certain talent for potion making, then with the detailed operating procedures and steps in this skill book,
They should be able to successfully master all the skills required to become a pharmacist.
Seeing a hint of satisfaction in Fangzhou's expression, Gu Yueyuan seized the opportunity to say, "Junior Fangzhou, if you are interested in the profession of part-time pharmacist, you are welcome to come and discuss it with me anytime."
I have a certain talent in this area, and I might even be able to develop some new and practical prescriptions.
I'm happy to share these research findings with you.
Fangzhou nodded in agreement.
Next, he began to carefully examine the various medicines that Gu Yueyuan had given him.
When he picked up a bottle labeled "Insect Food Pills," he paused slightly, a sense of curiosity rising within him.
"Senior Brother Gu, what special purpose does this bottle of insect food pills have?"
Is it for feeding your insect army?
We human professionals don't seem to need something like this, do we?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yueyuan gave a slightly embarrassed smile and then began to explain in detail.
"This is a new research project of mine."
For us human professionals, insect food pills really don't have any direct effect.
However, these insect food pills are extremely tempting to creatures that feed on insect-type monsters.
