Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 8 Difficult Decisions! _1
According to the introduction following the third option, expanding the capacity would increase the current backpack’s space tenfold. In other words, it could instantly expand a one-cubic-meter backpack to ten cubic meters!
Faced with such a valuable option, Chen Mo naturally chose the third option without a second thought.

In this magical world, much like an online game, there were four types of quality tiers.
The quality tiers for Skill Books were as follows:
Lower Three Tiers: White, Green, Blue
Middle Three Tiers: Orange, Yellow, Purple
Upper Three Tiers: Red, Black, Gold
The quality tiers for Equipment were as follows:
Lower Three Tiers: Stone Grey, Black Iron, Bronze
Middle Three Tiers: Silver, Gold, Platinum
Upper Three Tiers: Purple Gold, Dark Gold, Artifact
The quality tiers for Items were as follows:
Lower Three Tiers: Normal, Exquisite, Superior
Middle Three Tiers: Rare, Ultra-Rare, Epic
Upper Three Tiers: Legend, Mythical, Mythological
The difficulty ratings were as follows:
Easy: F-Class, E-Class, D-Class
Hard: C-Class, B-Class, A-Class
Extreme: S-level, SS-level, SSS-level
Now in possession of a ten-cubic-meter backpack, Chen Mo easily packed all the Dark Wands and the bundle of Skeleton Summoning Skill Books into it.
After bidding goodbye to the old lady, Chen Mo immediately rushed back home without stopping.
Chen Mo’s home was situated in a rather crowded Tube Building by the seaside. As the world had undergone tremendous changes, over half of the global regions were now occupied by various monster-filled secret realms, further reducing humanity’s living areas. Consequently, those from poor families could only live in such crowded dwellings. Fortunately, Chen Mo’s family was relatively lucky. Their home was located next to the building’s outer wall, allowing it to receive sunlight. Even if it was just the afternoon sun, it was somewhat more comfortable than the rooms in the middle of the building, which were permanently dark.
As he unlocked and opened the door, Chen Mo heard a crosstalk performance playing on the television inside. "You all say that Teacher Yu has three hobbies: smoking, drinking, and getting his hair permed. But he actually has a fourth hobby that none of you know about..."
"There’s a fourth one? Don’t tell them, even I don’t know about it. Go on, tell us."
"Another one is that he likes to wear hats?"
"Wear hats?"
"Hmm, and he’s particularly picky about the color."
"What color?"
"It has to be green. He won’t wear any other color..."
"Oh, come on!"
After a moment, the sounds of two people fighting came from the TV.
When the segment ended, he noticed his foster mother, Liu Yiyi, asleep on the sofa. Her delicate features showed a hint of fatigue.
Seeing her sleeping soundly, Chen Mo quickly and quietly turned off the TV, fetched a blanket, and gently covered her with it.
Having done this, he tiptoed back to his room.
After closing the door, he promptly emptied his backpack, dumping out all the Skill Books and Magic Wands he had just bought.
First, he picked up three [Skeleton Summoning·White] Skill Books and placed them all into the material slots of the translucent floating window before him.
...You have placed [Skeleton Summoning·White] x3!
[Detecting recipe...]
[Three identical materials detected. Your talent has activated! This synthesis does not require a pre-learned recipe!]
[Initiating quality check for this synthesis...]
[Synthesis quality is low. No special materials required!]
[Initiating success rate check...]
[Synthesis success rate: 100%!]
[Proceed with synthesis? Warning: All current materials will be consumed regardless of success or failure. Please confirm!]
Chen Mo clicked confirm. This time, there was no countdown; he spotted a small ’Get Result Immediately’ button and clicked it.
[Congratulations, synthesis successful!]
[Please select one of the following three options as your final synthesis result!]
[Option 1]: Stealth Corpse Squad·Green (Bound)
[Option 2]: Bomb Corpse Squad·Green (Bound)
[Option 3]: Poisonous Corpse Squad·Green (Bound)
As the skills fused, the White-tier [Skeleton Summoning·White] skill upgraded into a Green-tier Corpse Squad skill.
In addition to the base upgrade, Chen Mo could even choose one of three special effects to add.
The first option’s special effect allowed the summoned Skeleton Monsters to enter an invisible state, only revealing themselves when they attacked. After a period of not attacking, they would return to an invisible state.
The second option, the bomb effect, meant that the summoned Skeleton Monsters could be detonated, either by Chen Mo’s command or automatically when the Skeleton Monster was killed. The explosion radius was quite large—a sphere with a ten-meter radius—and the damage scaled with the Skeleton Monster’s Life.
The third option’s special effect modified the Skeleton Monsters’ Normal Attacks. Each damaging attack would apply one stack of corpse poison to the target. Each stack of corpse poison reduced the target’s healing effects by 1%, and when the corpse poison accumulated to one hundred stacks, it would trigger a high-damage poison explosion.
