The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 292: Full of Hot Air

A player glanced at Fang Ka’s departing figure: "What he said makes sense. I think Mage Fang Ka’s aloof demeanor is particularly captivating."

The player next to him was speechless: "Alright, you guys, if you’re going to flatter Mage Fang Ka, do it in front of him. Flattering him here is useless, he can’t hear you."

Another player chimed in: "By the way, did you see the mission? Let’s leave this sacrificial altar first."

At that moment, an untimely voice rang out: "Oh my, bro, why are you biting me?"

A player with beast-like bones opened his mouth wide: "Sorry, brother, I just wanted to try what it feels like to bite bones in the game."

"?? Are you nuts? You want to try biting bones, go bite yourself. Why bite me?"

Then the players stepped away from the sacrificial altar, chatting away in a rather goofy manner.

Meanwhile, outside the sacrificial altar, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching and Mr. Zhou were quietly waiting.

After seeing the new update announcement, the two of them rushed over immediately.

Seeing a noisy group heading out of the sacrificial altar, Mr. Zhou spoke up: "Mr. Qian, how many dual-class players do you think will be among the players this time?"

"It’s been a while since we’ve had recruitment for the dual-class players."

Hearing Mr. Zhou’s words, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching shrugged lightly: "You’re asking me, how would I know? This thing has absolutely no pattern."

"Like last time, out of 850 new players, not one was a dual-class player. So even though this time there are 900 players, more than last time’s newbies, I really can’t guess."

"Honestly, last time, our guess was right. The game must be nearing its public test. The number of players released is getting more outrageous each time; it’ll likely be more outrageous in the future."

Mr. Zhou shook his head gently: "I just hope the public test day arrives sooner. Then there’ll be a large number of dual-class players joining our Mage Association, and we can enjoy the feeling of having a group of minions."

"Man, watching those old familiar faces, each with a bunch of minions, I’m just incredibly envious."

"Especially Dog Pack Leader, Lu Yun; he has the most Bloodthirsty Players under him. Whenever he goes out, there’s always a huge group tagging along."

Hearing Mr. Zhou’s words, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching laughed and said: "Dog Pack Leader is different from others. Look, apart from him, who else makes such a grand display every day?"

"Just look at Chubby Orange Cat; their Night Demon players are only slightly fewer than those under Dog Pack Leader."

"Yet Chubby Orange Cat has never made any grand displays, staying quite low-key."

"Why do you want to learn from Dog Pack Leader? Can’t you learn a bit from Fatty Orange?"

After hearing Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching’s words, Mr. Zhou rubbed his head: "Playing games is all about style. If you’re playing a game so low-key, what’s the point?"

"Honestly, I really don’t get Fatty Orange."

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching patted Mr. Zhou’s shoulder and said: "Young man, that’s where your thinking is flawed. Making quiet money, what’s bad about it? Do you really need to show off to feel good?"

Mr. Zhou grinned: "Mr. Qian, it seems the generation gap between us is finally showing."

"You just don’t get it, do you? If playing games isn’t for showing off, it’s meaningless. Alright, alright, enough talk. The goofy newbie players are coming out; let’s go ask them."

"Let’s see how many dual-class players are among these goofy newbie players."

"I’ll pray a bit first; at least let there be one!"

After a brief prayer, Mr. Zhou started walking towards the goofy newbie players.

Once in front of the players, Mr. Zhou first introduced himself.

Then he asked: "Are there any newbie players who are dual-class? Please step forward now, join us in the Mage Association, enjoy ongoing benefits, and rise to the top."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Zhou looked at these newbie players with anticipation, but reality let him down.

The newbie players looked at each other, but none stepped forward.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhou shook his head in disappointment and turned his gaze to Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "I’m really stumped; this time it seems there’s none again."

"Looks like there’s no hope for recruitment by our Mage Association."

Hearing Mr. Zhou’s words, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching laughed and patted Mr. Zhou’s shoulder: "Playing games, keep a good mindset. Whether there are new players or not doesn’t matter."

"Look, our Mage Association is pretty great right now, isn’t it?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head gently: "Looks like I’ll have to wait until the public test to get the grand display I hoped for."

"Oh well, let’s go back and continue meditation cultivation, research magic, do our actual work, and make quiet money."

"By the way, last time at dinner, wasn’t the talkative fellow in our group chat saying he’s planning to return to Kain Island to buy land and settle down?"

"Why haven’t we heard anything lately?"

Hearing Mr. Zhou’s words, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching replied: "That talkative young guy, always making stuff up, his talk is half-truth at best, the rest is false. You really believe it?"

"He’s now with Lord Xu over at Mohan Island; I reckon he’s planning to settle there more likely."

"He hasn’t bought yet, but the chance of coming back to Kain Island to buy land seems almost zero."

"His words to you last time, I think he was just joking. You took it seriously."

Hearing Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching’s words, Mr. Zhou shrugged lightly: "I know he’s full of tall tales, but I thought he seriously meant it that time, so I believed it."

"Oh well, having just two dual-class players on Kain Island is nice, it’s quieter."

"Ah, young people can’t resist the colorful world outside; staying on Kain Island is so much better, right?"

"Mage Fang Ka is right here, and there are so many Mermaids to admire every day."
