Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Compared to Fan Hengcheng’s urgency, the Family Head of the Fan Family and the elder clearly had more patience.

In just a short time, the Family Head of the Fan Family had already confirmed through some connections that Zi Liyuan was the top scholar of the national college entrance examination.

Once the news was confirmed, the arranged marriage was basically without any problems.

However, the Family Head of the Fan Family, through another channel, had obtained a detailed report on Zi Liyuan prior to the college entrance examination, which included the news that he owned a Level 20 top-grade silver hero set.

His son had awakened a very good talent and even changed his class to a hidden profession—the Lava Mage.

To ensure his son could pass the assessment of any of the Nine Great Divine States Academy, acquiring a set of low-level hero equipment in silver would definitely greatly increase the chances of passing.

Thus, not only was the Fan Family Head interested in Zi Liyuan as a marriage partner, but he was even more interested in the priest set Zi Liyuan had on him! The priest set was a low-order top-grade item, the kind that could be a family heirloom, especially for Mages.

The Fan Family wanted his set of equipment, and he definitely wouldn’t give it to them, but to take the Fan Family Four Sisters away, just the title of the top scholar m the national college entrance examination wouldn’t suffice for the other party, especially knowing that he owned a top-grade hero set.

So, seated in the hall, Zi Liyuan and the Fan Family Head along with the Fan Elder began haggling.

As for Fan Hengcheng, caught between the two sides, he could only silently sit by the side, watching the exchanging of barbs, without uttering a word.

He certainly hoped that his daughter would go with Zi Liyuan.

Such a son-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern, and in the future, he could benefit a lot from the connection; for example, in the Fan Family, he could elevate his own status and even take a seat as one of the elders.

But now the Family Head and elder were driving a hard bargain, hoping to extract as many benefits as possible from Zi Liyuan, which made him feel somewhat troubled.

The more they extracted, the more it equated to the Fan Family truly selling their daughter in exchange for resources, and naturally, the affection between the parties would become extremely weak.

If Zi Liyuan really took off in the future, he would not have much to do with the

Fan Family; the benefits that could be obtained would be minimal.

But Fan Hengcheng had no choice; one side was the family, the other side a potential son-in-law who could become a future support. It was difficult to favor one side over the other.

Moreover, Zi Liyuan’s profession was too special; practitioners of death- related professions were at a very high risk when entering the Sea of Realms This was why the Family Head and elder, after agreeing to the marriage, kept raising the price, wanting to squeeze out more value from him.

At this moment, Zi Liyuan’s heart was also far from calm.

He truly hadn’t expected that the Fan Family would be able to get his detailed information from before the college entrance exam in such a short time, even knowing what equipment he had on him.

What did this imply?

Someone had thoroughly investigated him in the past!

If even a mid-sized family like the Fan Family could easily obtain his information, to the Ancient Noble Families, he was completely transparent!

As for who had investigated him, his first thought was of the Void Dark God Assembly that had attacked his home once before.

While this rogue organization might seem insignificant, they had dug up all his basic information.

Zi Liyuan had killed one of their small teams last time and then reported them to the city guard. As for what happened afterward, he hadn’t had time to pay attention.

Now, his high school exam information was easily obtained by the Fan Family it was clear that the organization had channels for betraying intelligence, and ’it likely had some connections with noble families, possibly even tangled interests in secret.

Fortunately, an incident occurred in the combat simulation, which not only increased his strength several times over than before the high school exam but he also obtained over a thousand pieces of silver hero equipment, so finding four pieces suitable for a fire-type profession was not difficult.

“Family Head Fan, the priest set was my parents’ last possession, and that absolutely cannot be used as a betrothal gift.

However, I also understand that it hasn’t been easy for the Fan Family to bring up the four sisters Fan Yuer. It’s embarrassing to ask outright, and doing so might invite criticism.”

“I am willing to ask friends to exchange or borrow four pieces of first-order LV20 silver hero equipment suitable for fire mages as betrothal gifts for the Fan Family’s four sisters. May I know if that would be acceptable?”

After haggling, Zi Liyuan put on an expression of pain, and even mentioned the condition of borrowing it from a friend.

“Oh, may I ask, dear nephew, which friend are you considering for the exchange? And how much time will you need?”

The Family Head was also curious. Zi Liyuan’s file clearly stated that he was an orphan who presumably inherited his parents’ estate, thus enabling him to live in the defense district and have some savings for his life.

With such a background, he shouldn’t have a wide network of social connections, and low-level silver hero equipment with good attributes were treasures of the elite families or the Ancient Noble Families. It would not be easy to obtain them from their hands.

As for asking about the time, of course, it was to urge him, his son was also about to take part in the Nine Great Divine States Academy’s assessment, and if there were too many delays, there might not be enough time for preparation.

In this combat simulation, I fought alongside members of the four imperial families, Ying Xueji, Liu Shengnan, Zhu Wu, and Li Fengwen, several times and helped them out a great deal.

Therefore, we respected each other and struck up a good friendship. Moreover we have an agreement to team up for dungeon quests after Dragon Academy. ’ Considering this, exchanging for a few pieces of fire-type LV20 silver hero equipment with them shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Pulling a tiger’s skin to act as a banner, using the names of these four, wasn’t too much was it?

Moreover, Zi Liyuan was indeed on good terms with the four of them They were like brothers and sisters, having fought side by side in earnest, and they stood on the same front when they cooperated to eliminate members of the eight Ancient Noble Families.

The most important part was that Zi Liyuan had shown sincerity by giving them a chance to escape, choosing not to kick them while they were down and eliminate them together with their opponents.

Wasn’t that considered as owing him a favor?

Now, he was merely using their names to accomplish a small task, was there a problem?

If there was an issue, after he went to Dragon Academy, he could discuss it with them in terms of scholarly and martial virtues.

“Cough, cough, cough… Dear nephew, did you really befriend direct descendants of this session’s four imperial families during the high school combat exam?”

Fan Hengcheng and the senior members of the Fan Family almost had a heart attack from Zi Liyuan’s words!

These were the direct descendants of the four imperial houses of the current session!

The true elites of the nation, members of the imperial family with the deepest foundations in the Great Xia Empire!

“Indeed, especially Li Fengwen from the Li imperial clan. He’s quite envious of one piece of material I have.

If I am willing to part with it, obtaining four pieces of LV20 silver equipment suitable for fire mages from him would be no issue.

Regarding the time, I will contact him tonight, and I should be able to get the equipment by tomorrow.”
