Me! Zombie! Summoned to Another World! - Chapter 4: Determine the Upgrade Route

But to become a Necromancer, I had to face a threshold:

Acquiring my own undead creature.

And, compared to Regulus, I had even less of a choice.

Not only did I not have extra materials, but I also had to set up a summoning circle. There’s not even a proper sacrifice for a summoning.

I could only rely on myself to create an undead creature that belonged to me by using the materials left behind by Regulus.

However, according to the notes, it would be very difficult to create an undead creature on my own.

Not only would I need someone to guide me, but I would also need enough luck.

Moreover, there could be no mistakes in the production process, or all previous efforts would be wasted.

However, the production process was very complicated…

For a low-level undead creature like the corpse eater, there were no less than a hundred bones.

As long as one of the bones was placed in the wrong spot, the entire corpse-eater production would fail.

Moreover, the used materials couldn’t be retrieved.

So these are the things that I needed to pay attention to when making undead creatures.

I purposely went back to the previous process.

Corpse Eater: There are 225 to 230 bones in the whole body.

They include: 1 intermaxillary bone, 2 maxillary bones, 3 frontal bones, 4 craniums, 5 zygomatic arches, 6 mandibles, 7 eye sockets, 8-9 cervical vertebrae…

As I looked and read, I found the combination becoming more and more familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, wasn’t this the arrangement of the bones of those dogs on earth?

When I had just become a zombie, not only had I eaten the flesh of dogs, but I had also been bullied by zombie dogs!

I had long been familiar with the structure of this kind of animal.

After learning about the body structure of the corpse-eating beast, I knew that it was exactly the same as the structure of the dogs in my previous life.

I was extremely confident that I would be able to piece the corpse-eating beast together.

I couldn’t wait to become a Necromancer.

I quickly turned to look at the items left behind by Regulus.

Crucible, scales, stirring rod…

But apart from these, there were also some materials that contained magic.

Materials used to make undead creatures.

Looking at the various materials on the floor and on the table, I slowly walked over and picked them up.

These materials were mostly the limbs of various magical creatures, and these materials were used by Regulus to make skeleton servants and low-level undead creatures.

But because many countries on the continent were very disgusted and wary of Necromancers, they were therefore very strict in controlling materials from the bodies of all kinds of animals.

If one wanted materials, one could either hunt or buy them from the black market.

One could find anything in the black market, which would naturally include these materials. However, the price in the black market would always be ridiculously high compared to how it’s normally worth.

But, when compared with buying them in the black market, hunting on your own was also not easy.

It was extremely dangerous.

It was very possible for one to not be able to hunt the target but instead be killed by the target.

The materials in front of me were all slowly accumulated by Regulus through various methods.

He had spent most of his life’s savings and had even gotten into a fight with others over some of the materials.

He had used up a lot of his magical tools.

This was also why, as a half-baked Necromancer, Regulus didn’t put up much of a fight against my bite.

Looking at the dazzling array of materials in front of me, my heart was filled with joy.

I knew that these materials already belonged to me!

Although these materials were owned by Regulus to create his first undead creature, their level wasn’t high.

However, I was still very satisfied. After all, these materials belonged to someone else.

After thinking this through, I began to count the materials one by one.

Coyote’s rib bone × 4682(91), coyote’s skull × 135(3), coyote’s backbone × 2654(60), coyote’s…

“…”

After I finished counting the materials, I finally understood why Regulus didn’t create his own undead creature and had instead chosen to use his summoning ability to obtain his first undead creature.

That was because he didn’t know how to do it!

This problem was too difficult for him!

There were originally thousands of coyote ribs, but only 91 were left. There were originally 13 coyote skulls, but only two were left…

It wasn’t that Regulus didn’t try to create undead creatures, but that he had tried too many times.

The materials he had used up could already be used to assemble a complete corpse-eating beast more than a hundred times!

However, the self-proclaimed Necromancer, Regulus, hadn’t succeeded even once.

The success rate wasn’t even 1%!

The success rate was ironically 0%!

I scratched my head.

The success rate was really too low, wasn’t it?

No wonder he had chosen to use such a costly summoning method.

However, since I was already familiar with the body structure of a corpse-eating beast, I wasn’t afraid of making a mistake in the assembly process.

I looked at the materials in front of me and started working on them.

I couldn’t wait to become a real Necromancer.

I used my withered zombie hands to pick up the coyote bones one by one.

I started to assemble them according to the procedures in the notes.

I first assembled the skull, then the spine and ribs, and finally the limbs.

Then, I assembled all the bones together and attached the muscles and fur.

Looking at the three Corpse-Eating beasts that I had already put together, I knew in my heart.

There was still one last step, the most important step!

Using the death magic contained in my blood to awaken the undead that belonged to me.

Just as I was about to bite off my finger with my teeth, I became stunned.

I was a zombie!

My body’s functions had ceased, and I no longer had the ability to create blood. The blood in my body had also dried up.

How could I use it to wake up the undead?

Use my own blood?

I lowered my head to look at my body. When I saw the wounds that had been bitten by other zombies after becoming one, my eyes lit up.

The blood flowing in my body was gone, but it had dried up and condensed, turning into a piece of blood. I still had some!

In order to obtain blood, I hurriedly used my mouth to bite off a small piece of flesh from the wound.

I picked up the crucible from before and added water.

I turned on the heating switch.

After the water was heated, I threw the blood clot in my hand.

I started to wait for the blood clot to melt into blood.

As I expected, the blood, and flesh in the water dispersed.

It became a pot of blood.

As a zombie, I naturally couldn’t feel pain.

I picked up the still steaming hot crucible and poured the blood on the three Corpse-Eating beasts that had been assembled.

This allowed them to absorb the blood better and more comprehensively.

After waiting for about three minutes, I suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.

It was as if I had suddenly raised two more small animals, and these two small animals were constantly acting coquettishly toward me.

Could it be?

A thought formed in my heart.

I turned my head and saw that two of the three Corpse-Eating beasts that were originally lying on the ground had already stood up.

When the two corpse-eating beasts saw me, they immediately stumbled over.

“Wu~ Wu~”

One made sounds similar to a puppy acting coquettishly, while the other one circled around my body.

It was a success!

When I saw this scene, I immediately thought of something.

Two out of three succeeded.

That was more than a 50% probability!

My heart was instantly filled with ecstasy!

I was now a true Necromancer!

Before the results came out, my heart was still very anxious.

That was because I created three Corpse-Eating beasts in one go.

With the remaining materials from Regulus, I could only create three of them.

Moreover, the success rate of Regulus was too dazzling.

Over a hundred times, and he didn’t succeed even once!

Based on this success rate…

Even if I had sufficient materials, I also wouldn’t have been able to produce a single undead even if my body was dried out when that time comes!

In the end, I succeeded!

Furthermore, I didn’t feel any difficulty from start to end.

It was as if everything was going smoothly without any hindrance.

The success rate was more than half, reaching 66%.

I thought about the description of the difficulty of the production that I had seen in my notes.

I couldn’t help but think that it was just so-so!

I thought about the hundreds of times that Regulus had failed.

I looked back at the pieces of meat lying on the ground and pursed my lips.

I thought about it and said the words I had seen in my notes.

‘There were barriers to becoming a Necromancer!’

‘It’s just you? Save your breath!’

I rushed to the door to keep an eye on the two Corpse-Eating beasts that were wandering around me.

I crossed my leg as I sat down.

I focused my mind on the notebook!

Seeing the changes in the notebook, the corners of my mouth couldn’t help but curve up.

As expected!

I could already see the contents of the second page.

On the title page of the second page, the handwriting of the quill was clearly visible.

‘Being able to see the contents of the second page means that you have become a true Necromancer.’

‘Although the power of death is much rarer compared to other elemental powers, necromancers, as a taboo in the Nolan continent, naturally have their own outstanding aspects.’

‘Compared to other mages, Necromancers can also increase their powers by creating and contracting high-level undead creatures to become their servants.’

‘Naturally, high-level undead creatures not only possess intelligence that is no less than humans, but they also possess strength that far surpasses humans…’

‘And the undead that they create are not only more suitable for themselves, they are also safer… the higher the level of the undead, the more precious and powerful the materials they create. The undead that they create are also more useful to increase their own cultivation level…’

‘The only disadvantage of creating undead is that it consumes materials. However, the only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive…’

I saw the senior who wrote this notebook praise me for creating undead.

Then, I recalled that I had just created a corpse-eating beast with a success rate of more than half!

It was as if I was the Emperor of Europe.

Regarding the main path for my leveling up in the future, I already had a few plans!
