Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission-Chapter 782: Re-entering the City of Death

Since this time the trip was just to find a specific detector, Fang Jie gave only brief instructions before departing.

The few new women who had joined did not express excessive reluctance to part ways; after all, their constitutions weren’t very strong, and they had been exhausted over the past few days. However, they did take pleasure in their experience, for they had obtained what they desired.

With their changed identities came greater trust from Qin Lan.

Without Fang Jie needing to arrange it, Qin Lan incorporated them into his secretarial team and even made them responsible for some major projects. Qin Lan’s secretarial team was already tantamount to a large organization.

Though it was a dependent organization, it owed its allegiance to Fang Jie’s Divine Domain.

These individuals, having their own projects to oversee, saw a significant increase in their power. In terms of their own strength, they were afforded a wealth of resources to at least improve their constitutions, which was Qin Lan’s intent.

Behind them, the people who had been backing them suddenly realized that their years of investment were paying off.

After all, with their positions and status, a slight tilt in their favor could bring immense benefits to those behind them.

In and of itself, the forces behind them weren’t anything too significant. As Fang Jie continued to grow and expand, these individuals became increasingly insignificant, and many were not faring well.

Now, as the status of those they had sent out rose dramatically, their own statuses began to transform.

Not only did they gain greater territories and ventures, but they also attracted the flattery of countless individuals.

Families that had sent individuals out at the same time were now filled with anticipation, hoping their own daughters would prove to be strong assets.

They hadn’t risen to prominence yet, but others had already begun to invest and curry favor with them in advance. A single change in the message had significantly improved the fortunes of their entire clan.

This was also the reason more people had recently come to seek Qin Lan’s influence.

However, Fang Jie paid no heed to these matters; he had already arrived at the City of Death.

"Indeed, this isn’t the same place I was last time." Fang Jie looked around, noting that the location within the City of Death varied with each random entry. His previous experience had taught him the typical behavior of those who often visited here.

Fang Jie acted like them, stealthily leaving the Teleportation Array, and then headed for the location marked on the map.

For some locations that remained consistent over the years, there were indeed markers.

Seeing Fang Jie’s actions, the guides lost interest in approaching him. Such individuals rarely sought guides; they usually had a clear objective and lacked extraneous thoughts.

As for the Undead System, there were very few recreational projects, and none that would draw visitors for entertainment.

It was a bit disappointing for Fang Jie not to see the Little Skeleton from the last visit, wondering how it was faring now.

Yet, the City of Death was, relatively speaking, a safe place.

Before Fang Jie could finish reflecting, he suddenly felt a surge of Power Burst coming from afar.

"Why have they started fighting again? The atmosphere has been increasingly mysterious lately. Damn Beastmen, who knows what they’ve ingested to make trouble in the City of Death for no reason."

"Exactly, I heard many have been assassinated by them recently. We better be careful."

"Don’t worry about it; with someone like you, even if they wanted to assassinate someone, they wouldn’t bother. They’re after geniuses."

Fang Jie was taken aback, wondering how the place had changed so much. He had thought the strange atmosphere was localized to the Teleportation Array’s vicinity, an isolated case, but it was different than he had expected.

But to think that Beastmen would come looking for trouble with the Undead was baffling.

Although the Undead were the natural enemies of the living, there were degrees of animosity. Under normal circumstances, Beastmen wouldn’t actively seek out the Undead. Conversely, races like Elves and Humans harbored even greater animosity toward the Undead.

"Never mind, I’ll just finish my own business first."

Fang Jie quickly located his destination and swiftly arrived at a large shop.

"I need a Plane Detector, blueprints not the finished product."

"A Plane Detector? Ten Divine Fragments, either with a Light attribute or a Life attribute."

Fang Jie furrowed his brows, surprised by the high price. He had thought this device would be similar to the Plane Shield, since both seemed to have similar functions and properties.

"Don’t think it’s too expensive. Functionality differs, so of course the value does as well, unless you can develop it yourself."

Left with no choice as he lacked the research capability, Fang Jie understood the reality of being exploited; it was either get ripped off or get nothing at all.

The seller continued, "This is the highest price for a Plane Detector. Ordinary shields can’t block this kind of detection. If you think it’s too expensive, there are..."

"No need, I’ll take this one." To this, the seller blinked in surprise.

It was a common strategy to first present the best product with the highest price and quality to intimidate the buyer. Then, by offering more ordinary goods, the seller could negotiate a better price.

However, he hadn’t expected to meet a rich buyer willing to buy the top-tier item straight away.

Getting Divine Fragments with a Light or Life attribute was not easy, especially for those in the Undead System. Even through arduous battles, it was hard to acquire many.

Such fragments usually ended up in the hands of Gods, used for various purposes.

The few that circulated below were simply not that useful.

Such Fragments of foreign Divine Status were difficult for Demigods to utilize.

"Apart from this, I want some knowledge-related items, everything I need." Fang Jie figured he might as well get everything he needed in one go, since while the City of Death was easy to reach, it wasn’t a suitable place for him.

Both visits had seemed off, and it just did not mesh well with him.

"Those items, well, I’ll give them to you. All together, that will be thirteen Divine Fragments. Any kind will do." Fang Jie rolled his eyes and handed over some Mysterious Divine Fragments.

Whether they could utilize them was up to them.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t expected the strange deaths in the last world to condense into Divine Fragments. Seeing the atypical Divine Fragments, a strange glint flashed across the seller’s eyes, but without a word, he accepted them.

Fang Jie, for his part, walked toward the area of the notary’s office with his purchases.
