Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 1883 Asking for Help

"Ring, ring, ring..."

Fang Heng was somewhat surprised.

Not many people knew his phone number.

He peered at the caller ID.

It was Li Qingran.

"Fang Heng, is this you?"

"Hmm?"

Li Qingran took a long time to think and hesitated before calling Fang Heng. Once the call connected, Li Qingran became very composed. "Fang Heng, I need your help."

"Alright, let's discuss it in person. Where shall we meet?"

"In the game, I'm in Punoze, at the Tower of Bones."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Not finding Gu Qingzhu around and Li Qingran urgently seeking him made Fang Heng not dwell on it and directly entered the game cabin.

...

Upon re-entering the game, Fang Heng retrieved the Punoze game world invitation card and entered the Punoze game world.

About a month ago, he had broken the seal in the Frost Hell of Punoze, causing the entire Frost Hell's aura to spread outward.

Following that, numerous necromancy players entered Frost Hell in search of related missions.

Fang Heng hadn't paid much attention to this.

Was Li Qingran looking for him concerning Frost Hell?

If that were the case, Fang Heng felt he should advise Li Qingran to desist.

This mission was not simple.

It couldn't be accomplished in a short time.

Outside the Tower of Bones, Fang Heng spotted Li Qingran.

"Fang Heng, I appreciate you coming in such haste."

After a month, Li Qingran's gaze appeared somewhat peculiar when she saw Fang Heng again.

The vivid memory of their first encounter was still fresh in her mind.

Who would have thought that in such a short time...

Fang Heng had already reached the threshold of master level necromancy!

Upon learning from Teacher Gu Luo that Fang Heng had successfully advanced to the pinnacle of necromancy, Li Qingran was left dumbfounded.

In just half a year!

He had surpassed the records of the entire Necromancer Association!

"Senior, you're being too modest. Did you encounter any trouble? If there's anything I can assist with, I'll do my best."

The Necromancer Association had always treated him well.

Upon receiving Li Qingran's urgent plea for help, Fang Heng hurried over.

"Well, I won't hold back. It concerns the master level academic advancement mission."

Li Qingran regulated her emotions.

Her disposition was to avoid inconveniencing others.

However, she had been stuck on the master level necromancy advancement mission for too long.

Finally finding this opportunity, even the mission issuer, Teacher Gu Luo, had suggested she seek Fang Heng's assistance.

After contemplating, Li Qingran reached out to Fang Heng for help.

"Fang Heng," Li Qingran thought aloud. "It's about advancing to the master level in the study of the necromancy. I've heard your necromancy skills have also reached the master level. Could you assist me in completing this academic advancement?"

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched slightly.

He hadn't expected the request to be about academic advancement.

Coincidentally, Teacher Gu Luo had also advised him to proceed with the next step of the master level necromancy Advancement as soon as possible.

Fang Heng wasn't eager, but previously, he had been in a hurry to test the enhancement effect of his newly acquired zombie clone talent enhancement, so he hadn't agreed immediately.

Now that Li Qingran sought his help, he agreed to assist along the way.

"Yes, alright."

Li Qingran felt even more guilty seeing Fang Heng readily agree. She silently pledged to assist Fang Heng in the future if opportunities arose.

However, contemplating how Fang Heng had progressed from a beginner to a veteran player in high-tier necromancy studies within just a few months left Li Qingran feeling a bit disheartened.

The gap in strength between them would likely widen further in the future. She couldn't repay this favor.

Trying not to dwell on it, Li Qingran looked up. "Fang Heng, this is a time-sensitive mission, a rare opportunity. Let's meet Teacher Gu Luo to receive the mission."

"Yes, alright."

Soon, Fang Heng donned his mask and, led by the necromancy attendant, accompanied Li Qingran into the Tower of Bones. They found Teacher Gu Luo in a room at the tower's peak.

"Teacher Gu Luo."

"Ah, it's Fang Heng. Come, come, come. Please, have a seat. Qingran, you too."

Upon seeing Fang Heng, Teacher Gu Luo's demeanor in the room instantly became warmer. There was a visible lift in Teacher Gu Luo's spirits.

Fang Heng found it peculiar, wondering why Teacher Gu Luo was in such high spirits today.

Gu Luo peered at Fang Heng and then at Li Qingran, quietly pleased with his precise understanding of human nature.

"A few days ago, I suggested your involvement in the master level necromancy academic advancement, but you were reluctant. Today, when Li Qingran invited you, you came here so eagerly, didn't you? In the end, it's the advice from an old best friend is the best. Young people, well, they find it hard to resist the wiles of a charming person." Gu Luo thought to himself.

Fang Heng was slightly unnerved by Teacher Gu Luo's intense scrutiny. Breaking the silence, he asked, "Teacher Gu Luo, do you have a suitable master level necromancy academic advancement mission?"

"Hmm, not bad," Gu Luo replied, retracting his gaze. "This mission is a time-limited team mission. It comes with a corresponding completion rate. Upon reaching a certain completion rate, you'll receive master level academic advancement and academic skill experience points from me."

Gu Luo paused, fixing his gaze on Fang Heng. "And if you manage to exceed my expectations in completing the mission, elevating the reward to necromancy of grandmaster level is within the realm of possibility."

Fang Heng's eyes sparkled at the prospect.

The chance to straightaway advance to the grandmaster level was quite appealing!

This would certainly save a lot of time!

Seizing this mission opportunity, he thought he might as well make a single leap!

Fang Heng nodded. "Please, could you explain the mission details, Teacher?"

Gu Luo waved his hand and turned to Li Qingran. "Qingran, step out for a moment. I need to speak with Fang Heng alone."

"Of course, Teacher."

Observing Fang Heng's changing expression, Li Qingran couldn't help but inwardly chuckle.

She believed Teacher Gu Luo's talk about exceeding the mission's requirements was specifically directed at Fang Heng.

Acquiring the master level academic advancement couldn't be that straightforward!

She had been stuck at this step for far too long!

And a grandmaster level? That was even more challenging!

Unexpectedly, Teacher Gu Luo held such high expectations for Fang Heng.

Li Qingran nodded respectfully, stood up, and exited the room, gently closing the wooden door behind her.

Alone in the room, Gu Luo's expression turned graver. He erected a dark defensive barrier around him and Fang Heng.

Fang Heng found Gu Luo's wariness a bit peculiar. Wasn't this a cooperative mission? Why the need to exclude Li Qingran? Such caution?

"Do you know about Ciboreya?" Gu Luo inquired.

Huh?

Fang Heng couldn't help but feel intrigued.

Ciboreya?

Wasn't that the game world Ji Xiaobo had just mentioned?

What an incredible coincidence!
