Mini ran up excitedly, asking questions.
One could tell she was quite satisfied.
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
The building had a total of six floors, with multiple rooms on each level.
Wu Heng had chosen the fourth floor, while Mini and Andre Willow had chosen the third.
After some thought, he said, “Let’s place the Alchemists and Mechanists on the fifth floor, otherwise it would be inconvenient for them to go up and down.”
In fact, there wasn’t much to fuss about when assigning rooms to Skeletons.
The main concern was whether it was convenient for movement or not.
If they were arranged on the sixth floor, it would be more troublesome to go up an extra floor in the future.
“What about the little dwarf who makes bombs?” Mini continued to ask.
Dwarf?
Following that, Wu Heng glanced downstairs.
His gaze fell on the Skeleton Bomber, wearing a leather cape, an Alchemist skilled in crafting Alchemy thunder orbs.
Since he was originally a Dwarf, he was shorter in stature.
“Isn’t there a house prepared for the guards outside? Arrange one for him as a laboratory,” Wu Heng said.
Thunder orbs were still somewhat dangerous.
It was better to arrange them outside.
“Okay!” Mini agreed immediately.
She told the Bomb Skeleton to wait at the door and took the other Skeletons up to the fifth floor.
At the same time, she took out all of the equipment and materials and began setting up the rooms.
After arranging the rooms for a few special Skeletons.
Mini continued to assign tasks to the remaining Skeletons, and the estate gradually became lively.
Skeletons climbed onto the roof to install solar panels, others hung from the walls with ropes to sweep them, and those below started to clear the yard of trash and move items around.
It was a hive of activity.
Wu Heng also joined in for a while, but soon returned to his room after realizing he wasn’t much help.
He opened the boundary door and went to the Zombie World.
…
Elsewhere.
Exiting the boundary door, it was still the manager’s office.
Snowflakes began to float outside the window again.
Not heavy, but enough to cover the previously cleared roads with a fresh layer of white.
He took out the walkie-talkie and called for Li Yahong.
Soon, Li Yahong, dressed in a long black down jacket, and Qi Hancai, in a short white down jacket and jeans, came up one after another.
“King!” Qi Hancai greeted with a smile.
“When did you get here?” Wu Heng asked, nodding his head.
“Came over on the train yesterday.”
“Come in then.”
They entered the room together and found seats to sit down.
Wu Heng asked Qi Hancai, “Nothing’s gone wrong on your side, has it?”
Now, the two ladies managed different areas.
Li Yahong was in charge of ‘Xinfu City’, which was their own city.
Considered the foundation.
Qi Hancai managed ‘Anhui City’, the first adjacent city they had taken over.
“No problem. I arranged all tasks before I left,” Qi Hancai said, adding, “We were supposed to head to the next city to establish a trading post, but then it started snowing again.”
The establishment of the next trading post had been decided for some time.
But in the north, the frequent snowfall had delayed the plan until now.
And Wu Heng, due to the affairs of Gold and Silver Island, hadn’t had time to move to the next site.
“No rush,” Wu Heng said.
Qi Hancai nodded.
Wu Heng then looked at Li Yahong, “Any issues on this side?”
Li Yahong replied, “No issues. I’ve checked within the base, and the remaining foreign languages are quite niche; not many people know them. We’ll see if we can recruit from outside.”
Some small or obscure languages weren’t that important.
After all, if you wanted some advanced technology or equipment, it was the big powerful countries that had them.
If even the language of a small place is obscure, then it’s even less likely to have anything advanced.
At most, it could be for trading Gold.
Of course, Gold was also important.
Having heard them out.
Seeing that neither had any issues.
He continued, “I need you to collect some things; arrange it as soon as possible.”
The two women looked serious, paying close attention.
Wu Heng went on, “First are construction vehicles like loaders, excavators and the like. A variety of types would be good to collect, and afterwards, we can arrange for some Skeletons to learn how to use them.
The second point is about those in the base who understand construction engineering. Have them provide training to the Skeletons to learn relevant knowledge.
Also, see if it’s possible to resume production at brick and cement factories around the city.”
Hearing Wu Heng’s words, both women were slightly stunned.
It was clear some construction project was about to commence.
They glanced at each other, didn’t ask more questions, and just nodded in agreement.
“Alright, I’ll see to it,” one said.
“I’ll notify my side to collect those vehicles too,” the other added.
After discussing matters.
The two prepared to leave.
Wu Heng gave Li Yahong a suggestive raise of the eyebrows.
Hearing this, her cheeks turned red. Once Qi Hancai left the room, Li Yahong approached and said, “I promised Sister Hancai to learn makeup with her tonight. I’ll accompany you next time.”
With that, she kissed his face and walked out.
Talking with Qi Hancai, they headed downstairs.
“When did those two get so close.”
…
At dusk, Wu Heng returned to Gold and Silver Island estate.
Coming down from upstairs, Mini was explaining the room assignments to Andre Willow.
Seeing Wu Heng come down, she immediately smiled, “Master, dinner is ready.”
“Mmm, you don’t have to wait for me especially if I haven’t come down,” Wu Heng said, putting his arm around Mini’s shoulder as they walked towards the dining room.
“Today is our first meal in our new home, of course you’ll eat with us,” Mini said with a smile.
“Right!”
They reached the dining room together.
The long dining table was set with 12 chairs.
The three of them sat on one side. Despite there being more food than usual, it still seemed a bit sparse on the large table.
After eating for a bit.
Wu Heng looked up at Andre Willow, “Any issues at the city hall?”
“Not really, everyone’s quite cooperative,” Andre Willow looked up and replied.
“If anyone bothers you, remember to tell me.”
Andre Willow showed a smile, “With master around, who dares to bully us?”
Sitting down at the dining table, Wu Heng looked towards Andre Willow, “Wei’er, everything okay at the city hall?”
“Nothing much, everyone was quite cooperative, no issues.” Andre Willow looked up and over.
“Good, that’s good. If anyone gives you trouble, let me know.” Wu Heng said.
“Alright, Master.” Andre Willow smiled.
Mini also spoke up, “Master, just now Wei’er sister said your bedroom bed is so big, she wants to try if it’s comfortable.”
Wu Heng looked at Andre Willow, who pinched the blabbering Mini.
But she didn’t deny it, bowing her head to drink her soup, she softly whined, “Can I? Master.”
“Then let’s do it together tonight, to celebrate our move to the new home.”
“Yay!” Mini shouted joyfully.
After dinner, the three went to the training room for practice.
After finishing, they bathed and went to the bedroom to rest together.
…
The next day, early morning.
Wu Heng woke up from his dreams.
Opening his eyes, he saw ‘Andre Willow’ sitting on the edge of the bed, getting dressed.
The smooth, white back and the fluffy fox tail.
He reached out to touch the soft tail, and Andre Willow also turned her head to look over, “Master, did I wake you?”
“No, it’s just about time to get up anyway.”
Andre Willow glanced at the soundly sleeping Mini, bent down again, and extended her tender red tongue to him.
Wu Heng embraced her, gently stroking her smooth hips.
After a short moment of intimacy, Mini yawned and opened her eyes.
Andre Willow sat back up, urging Mini to get up and prepare breakfast.
After they ate breakfast.
Mini, looking at Wu Heng who was dressed in armor, asked, “Master, are you going out today too?”
“Yes, I’ll be returning the old house; we won’t be going back there anymore.”
The original mansion was rented from the Snake Badge Consortium.
Now, it was no longer needed and had to be returned.
He also planned to settle the commission he had booked previously with the Snake Badge Consortium.
“Oh, okay then.” Mini said.
After packing up.
Wu Heng and Andre Willow left the house together.
Upon reaching the Central District, Andre Willow entered the city hall, while Wu Heng went to the Snake Badge Consortium.
Inside the VIP room.
The door opened, and a man dressed in a purple suit came in with a smile.
He saw Wu Heng in the room and bowed, “Rostand, the person in charge of the Snake Badge Consortium on Gold and Silver Island, greets the Island Master.”
The local person in charge of Gold and Silver Island.
Wu Heng also took a look at him, tall and thin with upturned eyebrows and slender eyes.
He looked to be a rather shrewd person.
Wu Heng had seen him before but not in a meeting for himself; he was meeting with some of the island’s merchants.
After a quick scan, he took out the emblem and handed it to the man, “I’ve come to settle the previous house rental and the commission I posted. Are they ready?”
“Yes.” The man took the emblem, opened the door, and directly handed it to the staff outside.
He himself then sat back down.
He began to speak, “These past few days, I planned to bring a gift to visit you, but I’ve been too busy with work to find the time.
After the new year, the consortium also plans to expand business and increase trading volume around the neighboring seas. For that, we will have to trouble the Island Master for land matters.”
Wu Heng listened for a while and then said indifferently, “When the time comes, the city hall will have a unified plan; as long as it complies with the process, there will be no problem.”
The man paused briefly before continuing, “The development of the consortium involves cooperation in many aspects. We plan to offer 5% of the local revenue to the Island Lord’s Mansion as funds for construction on the island.”
Now they’ve started offering money directly.
Wu Heng understood the implication very well.
It was to establish a good relationship and tie the local consortium to himself.
“There’s no need, normal cooperation when necessary is fine,” Wu Heng said.
The man’s eyebrows twitched slightly, seemingly not expecting his offer of money to be rejected.
He looked at Wu Heng, wondering if the latter had learned through some channels
that the consortium had restricted the level of corpses it collected.
That shouldn’t be possible.
It couldn’t have leaked out.
Musing over it, he heard a knock on the door.
Three coffins were brought in and placed on the ground.
“Open them up!” the man said.
The coffins were opened one by one, revealing the corpses inside.
Looking at the records, the man said, “Three corpses, two Level 12 blacksmiths, and one Level 13 Mechanist.”
As for this, Wu Heng didn’t harbor any expectations.
He had killed so many pirates, yet the bodies offered here were still of such level.
“Cover them back up and let’s settle the final payment,” Wu Heng said directly.
The coffins were closed again, and Wu Heng stored them all in the Space Ring.
The staff on the side calculated the final payment, while the person in charge continued, “Lord Island Master, you can submit a new commission, and we will do our utmost to collect the bodies you desire.”
“No need, I don’t require them anymore,” Wu Heng said directly.
It’s not like the cooperation was going particularly smoothly to begin with.
Besides, he was now a flag-bearer of the association, carrying a certain status.
Purchasing corpses from the consortium would not be a rational act.
Even if he had done so before, it was no longer something he could continue.
Of course, he would continue to collect corpses, but through Lopaz City instead.
Hearing Wu Heng’s refusal again,
the man quickly said, “Lord Island Master, previously pirate activities were rampant at sea, making it difficult for many goods to be delivered.”
Wu Heng glanced at him; it seemed the man was aware of the issue with high-level bodies.
“We’ll continue our cooperation when there’s a need,” Wu Heng said.
The casual expression on the man’s face disappeared; he tried to speak several times but couldn’t figure out what to say.
So, he had no choice but to close his mouth and refrain from speaking any further.
The staff member, calculating on the side, had also finalized the price.
Wu Heng paid the final payment.
…
Leaving the room,
the man followed by his side, “Lord Island Master, if you have any needs in the future, you can come directly to us; the consortium is willing to go all out to provide services for you.”
Wu Heng continued walking out without responding further.
However, as he passed by the bulletin board, he saw many people gathered around, apparently looking at something.
Following their gaze, he glanced over.
Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
