Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 6 - Solo Vs In A Party

At first glance, the Iron Skeletal Warrior in front of Lin Moyu seemed identical to the one he had summoned earlier. Its appearance was just as shabby, as if it had emerged from a garbage dump. But as the saying went, never judge a book by its cover.

[Iron Skeletal Warrior]

[Strength: 150]

[Agility: 150]

[Spirit: 150]

[Physique: 150]

[Skills: none]

Despite its unchanged appearance, the attributes were drastically different—ten times higher in every attribute. The increased physique alone meant the Skeletal Warrior's health and defense were ten times greater. Combined with the Damage Transfer skill, killing Lin Moyu would now be a daunting task.

Lin Moyu noticed that the Skeletal Warrior he had placed in his summon space had also received the same boost. The Comprehensive Amplification effect applied to it as well. Using the last of his spirit force, Lin Moyu summoned another Iron Skeletal Warrior before settling down to meditate. Meditation was the most effective way to restore spirit force, often replacing sleep for many students.

The following morning, Lin Moyu awoke refreshed, his spirit force fully restored. Three Iron Skeletal Warriors stood before him, like loyal guards, unmoving. The flickering soul fire in their skulls emitted a chilling aura, lowering the temperature in the room by several degrees.

"It's handy in summer—no need to worry about the heat." Lin Moyu mused with a slight smile.

He summoned a fourth Skeletal Warrior, then stored all four in his summon space, keeping just 10 points of spirit force. Confident that these enhanced Iron Skeletal Warriors—each with 150 points of strength, comparable to level 7 or level 8 combatants—would be more than adequate for the dungeon raid, he made his way to the school gate. There, a bus awaited to transport the students to the dungeon.

When they arrived at the dungeon, the area was already crowded. Besides students from No. 1 High School, others from Xihai City's six high schools, who had awakened their classes, were also present. Of the more than 800 students who had awakened their class the previous day, most were livelihood class users. Fewer than 200, less than a third of the total, were eligible to participate in the dungeon raid.

The students waited while their teachers handled the dungeon entry procedures.

"Old Lu, you've hit the jackpot this time." One principal said

"Not only a superior combat class, but also a unique hidden class. You've really struck gold." Another principal added.

"Your school has had an incredible performance the past two years. Last year, Lin Mohan entered Xiajing Academy. This year, are you planning to send another student there?" Yet another principal asked.

Lu Yun's face flushed, "Xia Xue and Lin Moyu are indeed outstanding. If they have the chance, I hope they can both be admitted to Xiajing Academy."

"Xia Xue? The eldest daughter of the Xia Family?" Someone inquired, "And Lin Moyu—his name is similar to Lin Mohan's."

"Xia Xue is indeed the Xia Family's eldest daughter." Lu Yun confirmed, "And Lin Moyu is Lin Mohan's younger brother."

"No wonder—the Xia Family has a strong lineage. And Lin Moyu? The pair of siblings are really Impressive." A principal uttered.

Meanwhile, Gao Yang nudged Lin Moyu. "Want to form a party with me?"

Lin Moyu shook his head in response.

Gao Yang feigned annoyance, "You punk, are you looking down on me? I'm inviting you out of goodwill. If you don't give me a good reason, I won't let this slide."

Despite his words, the smile in Gao Yang's eyes gave him away. Lin Moyu chose to ignore him, and sure enough, Gao Yang's expression shifted, "Come on, Boss, why don't you want to team up with me?"

Lin Moyu answered calmly, "Going solo is faster than going in a party."

Gao Yang asked curiously, "How do you know that?"

"From books." Lin Moyu replied, unusually forthcoming.

Gao Yang scratched his head, still unconvinced. At that moment, Xia Xue chimed in, "Lin Moyu is right. If two people form a party, while killing monsters becomes faster, the EXP is shared equally. With a party of two, the speed of killing monsters may increase by 50-60%, but the time spent finding monsters remains the same, reducing overall efficiency. From experience summarized by our predecessors, dungeons below level 10 are better suited for solo runs. For dungeons above level 10, parties are more efficient."

Xia Xue’s explanation made sense to Gao Yang, who finally understood.

At that moment, Lu Yun approached the group.

"Except for Xia Xue and Lin Moyu, all other combat class users must team up with support class users before entering the dungeon. Don't even think about going solo. You'll learn later that supports are essential in higher-difficulty dungeons. Don't assume you can go solo and then find supports when needed. It's better to team up with your schoolmates now. At least there's a sense of camaraderie, and in dangerous situations, they won't abandon you."

Lu Yun's words were clear, and the students who had been eager to go solo calmed down. Without teaming up with combat class users, support class users would struggle to level up.

One student asked, "Why don't Xia Xue and Lin Moyu need supports?"

Lu Yun cleared his throat. "They're different. Xia Xue needs to level up quickly to enter Xiajing Academy, and she won't stay in the novice dungeon for long—two days at most. As for Lin Moyu, his class is unique, and I don't fully understand its power. If you're a support class user, you can ask him if he's willing to party up with you."
