In the Land of Bone, as Dean McKenzie used the [Skill Fusion Scroll], system notifications refreshed instantly.

[You have used the [Skill Fusion Scroll (Intermediate)], chosen to merge skills [Summon Skeleton] and [Dominate Skeleton]!]

[Please note, since one of the merged skills has extraordinary traits, the fusion success rate drops to only thirty percent, do you wish to proceed with the

fusion?]

These two updates in the system notifications made Dean McKenzie pause his operations immediately.

“A thirty percent success rate, huh?

That’s a bit too low!”

This statistic made Dean McKenzie abandon the fusion.

After all, if the fusion failed, the scroll would be lost forever.

What’s more, Dean McKenzie wasn’t sure if a failed fusion would have any impact on his skills?

Both skills were currently Dean McKenzie’s absolute main skills, and he didn’t wish for any errors in them.

“Forget it, these two skills can still be used for now, I can wait longer for fusion.

If one fusion scroll isn’t enough for two skills, and if two scrolls aren t sufficient then I shall wait for a high-level one, eventually, I’ll be able to

enhance the skills.”

As he spoke, Dean McKenzie put away the Skill Fusion Scroll.

After giving up on the fusion of skills, Dean McKenzie turned his attention towards the remaining templates in his possession.

Dean McKenzie currently had two thousand Excellent Templates in his possession.

He couldn’t afford to lose the bulk of these templates and combining it with the improvements from the [Undying]trait, Dean McKenzie reckoned that even if he used all of them, they might still not be enough to enhance one trait to

Perfect Quality.

Hence, Dean McKenzie gave up on Skill Enhancement.

The focus then moved to the templates in his own template storage.

Specifically, the [Skeleton Giant Templates][Weak Skeleton Dragon Templates]and the [Ancient Clay Stone Demon Core],

Two templates and one material.

They were, respectively, Excellent, Rare, and Perfect in quality.

Among them, the [Ancient Clay Stone Demon Core], although it’s of Perfect

Quality, had the lowest cost-effectiveness ratio.

Because the summoning of [Clay Stone Demon]is the same as [Summon Skeleton], both are temporary in nature.

Surely, this item could allow Dean McKenzie to summon a Perfect Quality Clay Stone Demon, but under normal circumstances, the Clay Stone Demon could only exist for a certain casting duration before crumbling, once Dean McKenzie let go of the mana supply. In the process, part of the energy of this core would also get consumed.

Which means, this item is essentially a consumable item.

Of course, that’s in relation to others.

If Dean McKenzie wished, he could enhance the Clay Stone Demon.

In that case, something that’s regarded as a disposable item to others, in Dean McKenzie’s hands, could become a permanent item.

However, after a moment’s hesitation, Dean McKenzie still decided to abandon

it.

Primarily because[Clay Stone Demon]is a Third-Turn skill and Dean McKenzie would need to consume three Extra Grant Quotas.

Using three quotas in exchange for a maximum power of 120 at Perfect Quality, Dean McKenzie deemed it to not be cost-effective.

In contrast, Dean McKenzie was somewhat more interested in the [Weak Skeleton Dragon Template] and [Skeleton Giant Template].

“The Rare Quality Skeleton Giant Template has pretty good fighting power, but in Excellent Quality, it was only so-so.

As for the Skeleton Dragon, it’s predictable that the fighting power of a Rare Quality Skeleton Dragon would be remarkable. But of course, if possible, I would hope to elevate both templates to Perfect Quality!”

Dean McKenzie, who himself had a Perfect Quality Skeleton, knew very well the difference in power between a Perfect Quality Skeleton and a Rare Quality Skeleton under normal circumstances.

If possible, Dean McKenzie, of course, hoped that all his skeletons could reach Perfect Quality.

But Dean McKenzie knew that it was a bit difficult.

“At least Old Eight and the others, and the Skeleton Dragon should be first elevated to Perfect Quality, right?”

It’s easy to say this, but to accomplish it, how easy could that be?

According to the calculation, it would take one Perfect Quality BOSS piece per Skeleton, so for 33 Skeleton Dragons, along with Old Four, Old Six, Old Seven, Old Nine and Dean McKenzie’s own thought.

He would need to slay exactly 120 Perfect Quality bosses.

“Where am I supposed to find that many Perfect Quality bosses?

Perfect Quality Templates don’t fall from the sky, I can’t possibly search the South Barbarian Mountain Range map end to end…”

[Your subject[Finch Olmedo]has returned from the dungeon challenge, this dungeon challenge achieved a rating of S-level!]

[As his ruler, you can claim thirty percent of his rewards!]

Just as Dean McKenzie hadn’t even finished his sentence, the system notifications refreshed.

At the same time, an optional dungeon reward list popped up. Dean McKenzie’s eyes fell upon the [Corpse of the Monster Slain by Finch Olmedo] first!

He promptly selected it.

[You have chosen to receive the corpse of the monster slain by Finch Olmedo!

You have received [120 Elite Dogman Corpses], [30 Excellent Dogman Corpses], and [3 Rare Dogman Corpses]!]

Accompanied by the system notification refresh, 153 corpses appeared out of nowhere in the Land of Bone.

This sudden appearance of corpses left Dean McKenzie in awe, “Does the sky really drop templates?”

Although these corpses could no longer be extracted by Dean McKenzie, it wasn’t a big issue.

Dean McKenzie still had the [Summon Skeleton] and the [Bone Rebirth] trait. Since all these corpses were at level 20 and hadn’t even reached First-Turn, it only cost a few dozen Gold Coins to revive all 153, and he got it done.

With a wave of Dean McKenzie’s hand, they were all dispatched, netting him 40 Elite Templates, 10 Excellent Templates, and 1 Rare Template.

Though the profit wasn’t much, Dean McKenzie was quite pleased.

Looking again at Finch Olmedo, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of fulfillment, like someone who has just successfully raised a child..
