The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 456: Chapter 375, Is It That Awesome?

“I feel it’s coming soon, otherwise, they wouldn’t be in such a hurry,” Qi Hancai said, and then continued, “Do we need to change the prices?”

“Keep the prices roughly the same, we also need to eat. For those with special needs, we can reduce the price a bit, as a gesture of goodwill,” Wu Heng thought for a moment and then said.

He had originally intended not to adjust the prices at all.

They were selling ammunition to themselves without offering any discounts, and now they were repeatedly discussing prices.

It was somewhat displeasing.

But after giving it some thought, he realized that they still needed hordes of zombies for leveling up.

The zombies in the city center had been cleared out, and the next step was expansion outward.

There might be contacts with the provincial rescue teams or intelligence exchange later on.

It was best to keep up appearances.

“Understood, I will find an appropriate reason when the time comes.”

Wu Heng nodded with a smile.

Then he continued, “Have the surrounding zombies been scouted?”

“We’ve had someone scout the Trade City area,” Qi Hancai said. “There’s a significant horde blocking a stretch of road; it’s best to clear it out.”

“Okay, get the convoy ready. We’ll go clear them out in the next few days.”

“Got it!” Qi Hancai responded.

After finishing their discussion, Qi Hancai thought for a moment and said, “Shall I take you down to the market? It would be good to show our faces to everyone.”

“Alright.”

The two got up, went out, and descended the stairs.

Qi Hancai led him to the hall.

While walking, they went over the layout and functional zones of the market.

Aside from exchanging food, there were also some daily necessities.

After a round of browsing, Wu Heng went back upstairs, opened the boundary door, and returned to Gold and Silver Island.

…

He reappeared in his study.

As he came downstairs, Mini and Andre Willow were playing shuttlecock in the courtyard.

With a distance of over ten meters between them, the shuttlecock made sharp sounds with each kick.

“Wei’er, Mini, come in for a moment,” Wu Heng called out.

Mini swiftly caught the shuttlecock and ran towards the house.

Andre Willow followed her inside.

“What is it, Master?” Mini asked, hugging his arm and speaking in a half-coquettish tone.

Wu Heng said, “I bought some items at the auction this time; they’re perfect for the two of you.”

“Yay, another gift!” Mini cheered.

Andre Willow also smiled.

Wu Heng took out items from the Space Ring and said, “Mini, this Wind Tread Garment is for you, it’s a martial arts attire that can enhance the power of qi.”

“Thank you, Master,” Mini said, taking it with a happy face.

Wu Heng continued, looking at Andre Willow, “Wei’er, I can only give you a 10 cubic Space Ring for now. I’ll get you a suitable piece of equipment later.”

Andre Willow smiled, “Thank you, Master.”

Wu Heng did not give the Guardian Gauntlets to Mini, as she could not utilize them effectively yet.

As for Wei’er, she had already been equipped with a variety of firearms, so she did not have a significant need for weapons.

After distributing the items, Wu Heng continued, “Let’s get ready for dinner.”

“Okay.” Mini went to instruct on preparing dinner.

Wu Heng then went outside to equip several skeleton attendants in the courtyard with Sharp Longswords and Agile Plated Armor.

The safety of their dwelling was very important.

Soon, dinner was served at the table.

After having dinner together,

Mini went to the courtyard to practice boxing in her Wind Tread Garment, while Andre Willow fed the little owl.

Wu Heng went straight upstairs.

…

Back in the study,

He closed the windows and turned on the air conditioning.

A cool breeze began to flow in.

The timelines of the two worlds were synchronous, but their climates were not.

The Zombie World had entered deep autumn, with withered vegetation and fallen leaves everywhere.

Conversely, it was still hot on Gold and Silver Island.

Additionally, as an island, the temperature there was not low.

According to the climate, the location of Gold and Silver Island likely belonged to a tropical monsoon climate.

There was no such thing as winter.

Moreover, with everyone being professionals with high Constitution, they weren’t particularly bothered by the heat.

It was indeed a suitable place for living.

Sitting down at his desk, Wu Heng took out the unfinished ‘Mansion Skill’ book.

Glancing at the teapot on the shelf by the door, he cast Animate Object and the teapot floated over, filling his teacup with tea.

Wu Heng took a sip from his cup and started reading the book attentively.

The first part of the book mainly dealt with the initial intent behind the development of the skill, as well as some of its uses and effects.

In short, once you’ve learned this skill, you carry a house with you wherever you go.

Moreover, you can alter the interior decors and furniture or add some servants to attend to you according to your wishes.

It was uncertain whether it could achieve this effect, but the description was indeed enticing.

He turned to the page he had left off on.

And continued to read further.

Behind, was the detailed explanation of the skill.

The Mansion Skill, in terms of the type of magic, belonged to the curse system.

The magic diagrams recorded above were the most numerous and complicated ever encountered in a Skill Book.

Among them were Spell patterns Wu Heng had seen before, including spatial expansion, material transformation, and curse condensation.

The rest was comprised of several diagrams he had not seen before.

This made him suspect the breadth of knowledge and level the creator of this magic had reached to be terrifyingly high.

Possibly level 18 or even having achieved the heroic tier.

Fortunately, he didn’t need to truly delve into studying magic.

Just reading it through normally was enough.

He refocused and started to read carefully again.

Time ticked by.

The world outside the window had dimmed.

He had only read about half of the thickness of the entire book.

As the book had no page numbers, he didn’t know exactly which page he was on.

But by now, his head felt somewhat heavy and dull.

Even with his intelligence over 40, he found such materials somewhat challenging to read.

He took out a bookmark and placed it on the page he was reading.

Then he let Glenda and Xiao Xiao out.

“What’s going on?” Glenda asked.

“Nothing, you two just do what you want around the house. If you want to go out, don’t fly too far in case there’s any danger,” Wu Heng said directly.

“Oh, okay!” Glenda nodded, gesturing with her hand, as a book floated over.

She began to read it as it hovered beside her.

Xiao Xiao pulled out a tablet, manipulated the stylus, and called up cartoons to watch.

Wu Heng turned off the lights and the air conditioning and headed downstairs.

…

He had just reached the third floor when the doors of two adjacent rooms opened simultaneously.

Andre Willow and Mini poked their heads out to look.

Almost at the same moment, both were startled.

“Didn’t you say you were tired and going to bed early?” Andre Willow asked Mini.

The latter retorted, “Hmph, so did you. You said you’d rest in your room, but then you secretly listened for any sounds.”

Wu Heng looked at the two women and asked, “Did I disturb you?”

“No! We haven’t gone to bed yet,” said Mini, then she added, “Master, are you going downstairs for a midnight snack? I can have the skeleton prepare something.”

“No need, I plan to go downstairs and have the skeleton draw some water for a bath.”

Mini looked left and right, then said, “I’ll prepare it. Master, you go back and wait for a bit.”

“Alright, that works.”

Wu Heng chatted with Andre Willow on the ground floor.

Mini called from upstairs that the bathwater was ready.

Wu Heng soaked in the bathtub upstairs, and the two women also came in wearing bath towels.

…

The next day, early morning.

The two entered the guild.

“Wei’er, you go to the library first, I have something to discuss with Shiraz,” Wu Heng said as they walked into the hall.

“Okay,” Andre Willow nodded and headed towards the library.

…

The next day, Wu Heng and Andre Willow went to the guild together.

He wanted her to go to the office library.

He himself went straight to the direction of ‘Shiraz’s’ study.

He knocked on the door lightly and walked in after receiving a response.

It seemed Shiraz had also just arrived at the guild.

“You’re here early again today?” Shiraz remarked as she looked at him.

Wu Heng sat down in front of the couch and said directly, “I have something to ask you.”

Shiraz raised an eyebrow, showing a bit of seriousness, and said, “What’s the matter, just say it!”

“Do you know about the Evil Sword?”

“You mean the one from Kerim?” Shiraz asked, casting a glance at the skeleton following by his side.

“Yes, that kind of Evil Sword. Are there more than one of these weapons?” Wu Heng asked.

He came to ask Shiraz because the other party was a professional magic swordsman and would definitely know something about sword-type weapons.

Also, their relationship was fairly good, and casual conversation could reveal some information.

“Indeed, there’s more than one, but exactly how many, I’m not sure,” Shiraz looked him in the eye, “Are you interested in these weapons?”

“Yesterday, when we met, wasn’t I out investigating a fugitive? Overheard two people talking in the tavern. They mentioned an Evil Sword called Silent Blade, sounded pretty formidable.”

“I heard about it too. This year, the consortium sold that weapon at their annual end-of-year auction.”

Wu Heng gave her a look, also suspecting she might have attended the auction.

“Is that weapon powerful?”

“It has a rather special effect. Rumor has it that as soon as the Evil Sword is unsheathed, it will kill all life within range, including the wielder of the weapon.”
