They didn't exchange any words, but just followed him to his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng had moved the corpse over to this world in advance.

If he didn't want to write or didn't have the details, he could leave it blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren't too many complicated steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, the bounty reward includes a lower-level item reward, what do you need?\" the staff continued to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does it include?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weapon equipment, or rarely seen materials, notebooks, depending on what you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Items were just a general term. Apart from the monetary reward, all other prizes were classified as items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were only divided into levels, and the lower level obviously was not a high-level reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have a Skill Book?
