Chapter 199 Bone Regeneration, a New Skill for Necromancers (Minor Revisions)
Lu Renjia and Lu Yiyi quickly said, "We have nothing else to say."
"Ark, you go ahead and get busy. We'll talk later."
Fang Zhou glanced at Meng Hongzhuang and Bai Xiaochun, giving them a look that said "Don't forget to work," before turning and walking towards the research group's laboratory.
As they continued their journey towards the setting sun, a sense of urgency suddenly arose within Fangzhou.
His schedule was almost completely booked from then on.
Accumulate soul power to teach skills to your skeleton clone.
Explore the unique resources of the Netherworld.
The skills of the Armed Skull and the Enhanced Skull are deduced for the main body.
The bet he made with Instructor Su Xinyan that he would break through the apprentice level and become a higher-ranking student within a month.
In addition, he also needed to take some time to explore the trading channel that was opened after obtaining E-level access, and see if other students had the resources he needed. Ark breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a bit of pressure, but at the same time, a long-lost fighting spirit was also ignited in his heart.
Pressure can be a driving force.
It is in turbulent times that true heroes emerge.
These directions for becoming stronger are exactly what Ark has been striving for!
However, with so many things requiring effort, it's essential to prioritize them so that they can be carried out in an orderly manner.
After all, one's energy is limited, one's contribution points are limited, and one's soul power is even more limited.
Let's use the best steel on the right things first.
As Fangzhou walked along the road, admiring the magnificent sunset, he silently planned what he needed to do next.
I just exchanged for so many Black Iron-level combatant general skills and skill tips from the logistics department. If I want to get started quickly...
Each one requires 100 points of soul power.
All of this adds up to 2000 soul power.
He certainly cannot afford this huge sum of money for the time being.
Of these 11 skills, the one that helps the Ark the most is probably [Advanced Weapon Mastery].
Therefore, he planned to first teach this passive buff skill to his skeleton clone.
Then, he would try to use this as skill material to deduce the skills of the Armored Skull that he had longed for.
As for the other Iron-tier skills, we can put them aside for now.
Fang Zhou touched the space storage capsule in his arms, and thinking about the level 2 refined stones and level 2 gems stored inside, he felt a little worried again.
Based on his previous experience of enhancing the gray, low-quality apprentice set, each enhancement of these three white, ordinary-quality Nova equipment pieces on his body would likely consume 100 soul power.
This is also a huge expense.
However, in order to enhance the effects of the three-piece cultivation set and maximize the cultivation efficiency of the main body, strengthening these three new star equipment pieces is an urgent and imperative matter.
Where does he get so much soul power from?
Fang Zhou was frowning as he pondered this problem that was giving him a headache when a message suddenly came through his personal terminal.
【The Undead Mage is Invincible】(Su Xinyan): "Ark, I just received a notification from the logistics department that you have been enchanted with the 【Transcendent】 affix."
Come over quickly, I'm all ready.
There are guests waiting for you at the research group.
Are there still guests waiting for me?
Fangzhou had some doubts, so he replied in his personal terminal.
【Ordinary Apprentice】(Ark): "Instructor Su, I just picked up the Star Dewdrops needed for the 【Transcendent】 enchantment at the logistics department. They are on their way and will arrive at the lab in about 10 minutes."
"May I ask who this guest is?"
[The Undead Mage is Invincible] (Su Xinyan): Who else could it be? Isn't it that unlucky guy who wanted to repay her with his body!
Fang Zhou was taken aback; there seemed to be a hint of anger in Instructor Su's words.
But offering yourself in return? What a loser!
He quickly realized what was happening.
Among all the people I know, who are so self-disciplined and indifferent to worldly affairs, the only one who can be associated with the keywords "giving oneself in marriage" and "unlucky guy" is Shen Ziwei.
A few days ago, he rescued Shen Ziwei from the frozen wasteland of Cave No. 1, where she was being attacked by gnolls.
However, this unfortunate female warrior lost her left arm in the fireball spell cast by the gnoll warlock.
When he was rescued and left, in gratitude for the decent rare item [Burning Fire Ring] that Shen Ziwei had given him as a token of her gratitude, Fang Zhou casually mentioned that he was researching human bone regeneration and might be able to help her.
Now that I think about it, if someone came to visit him at the research group, it must have been Shen Ziwei, who had just recovered from her serious injury and couldn't wait to come to him.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou suddenly recalled that during the morning's arena challenge, he had always felt that Instructor Shen Hongyu, who was in charge of the meditation class on the podium, was watching him.
Instructor Shen Hongyu must be paying so much attention to Fangzhou because of her adopted daughter.
Having prepared himself, Fangzhou began to think about what to say on his way back.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the research group's laboratory.
Pushing open the door, Fang Zhou indeed saw Shen Ziwei, dressed in apprentice leather armor and with a mechanical prosthetic arm on her left arm, sitting on the sofa in the reception room.
Besides him, Instructor Su Xinyan, who was supposed to be the host of the research group and greet the guests, had disappeared.
In the empty reception room, only Instructor Shen Hongyu and Instructor Huang Qiuyue, whom Fang Zhou had met in the No. 1 underground fortress, accompanied Shen Ziwei.
Before leaving Cave 1 yesterday, Fang Zhou, Meng Hongzhuang, Ye Fan, and other trial trainees, who were either exhausted or slightly injured, received treatment from Instructor Huang Qiuyue, a Silver-ranked Light Priest.
That was also the first time Ark encountered a skill with the Light attribute.
Therefore, Fangzhou had a deep impression of Huang Qiuyue, a very charming female instructor.
Before Fang Zhou could greet the three guests, Shen Ziwei, whose face had been pale and eyes were lifeless, stood up immediately upon seeing Fang Zhou return, looking at him with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Fang Zhou gave her a reassuring look, then saluted instructors Shen Hongyu and Huang Qiuyue, saying, "Hello, Instructor Shen."
Hello, Instructor Huang.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I was slightly delayed at the logistics department.
Instructors Shen Hongyu and Huang Qiuyue quickly stood up and said, "It's alright, Fangzhou."
We apologize for the intrusion and for disturbing you.
Hearing Fang Zhou enter, Su Xinyan also peeked out from the office behind the reception room and said to herself, "Fang Zhou, you're finally back."
This student, Shen Ziwei, said that you had told him that you were recently researching a scientific project on bone regeneration in human professionals.
They want to ask how your progress is.
Fang Zhou was silent for a moment, knowing that Su Xinyan's behavior meant that she had left Shen Ziwei and the other two visitors alone in the laboratory's reception room to wait for him to return.
However, after spending a month or two with Su Xinyan, he became familiar with Instructor Su's style.
In fact, apart from Fang Zhou, Instructor Su treated everyone else in the military academy with indifference and coldness.
If it weren't for her good looks, strong abilities, and legendary father, she would have been beaten countless times.
Shaking his head to clear away these thoughts that had nothing to do with him, Fang Zhou looked at Shen Hongyu and the other two and said, "Instructor Shen, Instructor Huang, and Ziwei, please sit down first."
Since you've specifically asked me this question, I'd like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts on the topic of bone regeneration for human professionals.
By the way, I would also appreciate it if you could all help me check it out.
Everyone took their seats in turn, and even Su Xinyan couldn't resist her curiosity and sat down to the side.
Instructor Shen Hongyu glanced at Instructor Huang Qiuyue beside her and said sincerely, "Fang Zhou, I'm not quite clear about the research ideas of you necromancers."
However, Qiuyue was a close comrade-in-arms from my time in the military, and she saved my life several times.
As you probably know, she is a Silver-ranked Light Priest.
She also participated in a bone regeneration research project conducted by the Brightness Professional Association a few years ago.
Although that study ultimately failed, I think it might offer you some theoretical and practical help.
Therefore, I took the liberty of inviting Akizuki along this time as well.
Fang Zhou nodded, understanding what Instructor Shen Hongyu meant.
On the one hand, as she said, Huang Qiuyue, as a healing professional of the Light faction, and having participated in related research projects, was of great help to Fangzhou's next research ideas and treatment methods for Shen Ziwei.
However, on the other hand, what Instructor Shen Hongyu didn't say but clearly implied was that with a professional like Huang Qiuyue present,
It would be best if Ark could offer some practical assistance.
At least Huang Qiuyue can judge whether it is feasible; otherwise, it is just a comforting statement for Shen Ziwei.
Even if there is only the slightest possibility of success, Shen Hongyue would support Fangzhou in conducting relevant research without hesitation, given the hope of Shen Ziwei's recovery.
To be honest, this is quite a challenge for Ark.
Fortunately, he was prepared.
Fang Zhou opened his personal terminal and sent a copy of the research materials to Shen Hongyu, Huang Qiuyue, and Shen Ziwei, who were present.
Instructor Su Xinyan certainly didn't need to distribute them; she already had a copy of all the research materials for Fangzhou.
Fang Zhou operated his personal terminal, projecting the document onto the wall of the reception room, and then explained methodically: "Instructor Shen, Instructor Huang, Ziwei, this document is my application for the Human Professionals' Bone Regeneration Project."
It contains detailed records of my initial thoughts and ideas on this topic, and it has also been reviewed and approved by Instructor Su Xinyan.
Now please take a look, and I will give a brief introduction.
Fangzhou stood next to the projection and explained: "The overall idea behind the human professional bone regeneration project is to use the necromancer's skeletal skills to create an artificial skeleton that is highly compatible with the human body."
Then, through various means, a physical connection is established between this artificial skeleton and the professional.
Finally, and most crucially, is integrating this artificial skeleton into the professional's power system, allowing it to be accepted as new bone.
He looked at everyone and said, "I have already successfully completed the first stage."
Just as a storm mage can casually summon a whirlwind, and a fire mage can casually summon a fireball, a necromancer who has mastered bone magic can naturally conjure a piece of bone at will.
Like this.
Then, Fangzhou stretched out his right hand, mobilized all his mental energy, and quickly condensed an arm bone.
"However, the next two steps require further research."
Instructor Huang Qiuyue took the artificial skeleton from Fang Zhou and nodded, saying, "Fang Zhou, your approach is somewhat different from ours."
In previous research projects, including those involving our Light-based professions, there have been many ideas about bone regeneration, which usually involve magic, mystical powers, regeneration techniques, or special cultivation systems.
Over the years, we've tried all the methods we could think of.
Even your idea of using biomimetic media to create artificial bones has been proposed before.
After going around in circles, for professionals who have lost their bones, mechanical prosthetics are still the simplest and most effective option.
