The moment he put them on sale, they would sell out within half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such items would seemingly have no issues selling in Lundham City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng gave a glance, re-sealed the boxes, and ordered the skeleton to move them into a room within the residential area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Li Yahong’s crew arrived from afar, carrying more boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is only the collection from two buildings. We might be short-staffed if we want to collect from everywhere,” said Li Yahong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Wu Heng, there was so much to collect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were to rely solely on their team’s manpower, it would take quite some time to comb through a residential area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Wu Heng responded, “I will arrange for some skeletons to help you when the time comes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would be helpful. If needed, I plan on bringing more people over from the prison to speed up the collection process.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That could work!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then next time we transport supplies, I will bring more people along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pausing to think, Li Yahong continued, “We’ve almost used up all the steel pipes and grinding wheels. I know of a place, a construction store’s warehouse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, we’ll check it out tomorrow during daylight. We’ll have the vehicles ready to haul back a large load.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!” Li Yahong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting for a while, they went their separate ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng returned to his place through the boundary door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering his study, the four Skeleton Ghost Hags were still reading their magic books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One couldn’t exactly say they were shirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various magical formulas filled the prepared sheets of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were, as always, very diligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting at his desk, Wu Heng took out the recently acquired “Book of Runes” and laid it open on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d found this book using the Snake Badge Consortium’s credentials from the Blood Worship Sect’s leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the business with Fisher and Gomez, he hadn’t had the time to study it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was a good time to look into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was rather curious about the various magical items of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully read the book after opening it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the book’s explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Runes were arcane symbols etched onto weapons, equipment, or specific items to gain enhanced effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different runes provided different effects and could also be customised according to the user’s requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed Wu Heng to learn a new term: ‘etching’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Book of Necromancy mentioned the making of a ‘Magical Scroll’ using ‘inscribing’ while ‘etching’ was used for runes here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world’s terms were rather rigorous; there must be a difference between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two types of rune-making, ‘Basic Runes’ and ‘Magical Runes’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic Runes provided basic enhancements to items, such as making weapons sharper or heavier upon impact to increase damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical Runes were easier to comprehend. The etching itself was a magical effect. For instance, his ‘Hunting ring’ and ‘Hallucination incense burner’ belonged to the Magical Rune type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides those used directly in battles or to assist battles, some items were used in daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the book mentioned the ‘Firestone ring’, which gave a traveling party the ability to start a fire in the wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a ‘Constant Flame bathtub’, which could maintain a specific water temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bathtub Wen Mansha had must be this kind; she and Wu Heng had frolicked in it for quite some time, but the water temperature never changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t pay much attention to the water temperature at the time, but now, reflecting on it, Wu Heng guessed it must be a magical item after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Different development paths dictate different sets of accessories,” Wu Heng mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The modern world is mostly dependent on electricity, with all accessories relating to electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world, however, is magic-oriented. With runes reaching incredible effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skimmed through the content of the later part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This book primarily explains the subjects about runes and doesn’t teach how to make them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, for “outsiders” like Wu Heng, it was quite helpful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gave him a deeper understanding of runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was flipping through the pages of the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A system announcement appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summoned Being – Skeleton Ghost Hag, unlocked skill ‘Evil Explosion Skill’.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng looked sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Skeleton Ghost Hags slowly stood up, placed the magic book back on the bookshelf, then picked up another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving back to her original spot, she resumed reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Ghost Hag had finally unlocked a skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much time had passed that Wu Heng almost believed that skeletons were incapable of learning skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that one had unlocked a skill, he knew they were merely slow learners due to their low intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the Book of Runes, he returned it to the bookshelf behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went downstairs for some sword practicing before retiring to his room for rest and sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zombie World.\u003C\u002Fp>",968,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.488Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","a32a2fedf72946bc0f3f12aaed74f65d96cb6a1c20e7ac89c068bd5ec9ab864e","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-149","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-147",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
