He wanted to talk to you about exchanging military equipment for grain. Since you weren’t there, I told him we have no plans to adjust the price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Long brought up this issue again? Why are they so eager to sell things? Are they really short on food, or do they have other plans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat puzzling, but it didn’t greatly concern his own side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grain was the only real currency now; nothing was more important than food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you control the food, if you really need something, you can always trade for it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t adjust the price,” Wu Heng stated flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s what I thought too,” Qi Hancai nodded, continuing, “Yesterday we obtained some more gold and Corpse Cores. I’ve had them brought over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng waited in the room for a while, and Qi Hancai brought the gold and Corpse Cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over 5 kilograms of gold and more silver this time, about 20 kilograms. As for Corpse Cores, there are three level-one Corpse Cores and one level-two Corpse Core,” Qi Hancai said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shelter dealing in level-two Corpse Cores?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are the level-two Corpse Cores from the military?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, they were exchanged by a place called Valiant Shelter. They said they pre-planted explosives and blew up a Mutated Zombie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Planning ahead is indeed one method,” Wu Heng remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hancai laughed as well, saying, “He told me about it himself and then offered to sell some of their explosives too. It felt like he came for advertising.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quite smart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng collected all the gold and Corpse Cores and continued, “In the next few days, produce more Solid Iron Bullets. We’ll open up that road in the county.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok, I’ll have them speed up the production,” Qi Hancai said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted for a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hancai went back to his own work, and Wu Heng returned to Gold and Silver Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at his residence…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng delivered the Corpse Cores to the Alchemy Room and then went downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow was on the first floor feeding the little owl, while Mini was cleaning the vases on the bookcase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wu Heng coming downstairs, both women greeted him at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little owl turned its head too, chirping twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded and asked, “Wei’er, any issues with the guild?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No issues. Nothing happened after you left, and seeing there was nothing to do this afternoon, I came back,” Andre Willow said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, it’s always better with no problems,” Wu Heng still felt some concern; he feared the Inspector Special Envoy, unable to find fault with him, might target Andre Willow instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed that the person hadn’t taken such action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini put down the vase she was holding and chimed in, “There’s also no news from Philippa’s end—just purchases and some matters related to arming the Pirates.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.488Z","2026-06-14T10:25:32.285Z",1,"novelbin.me","785aed432f0a8d5533e9d85b9f040669ddac2e261afd95bf9196cb2158f6cbf3","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-410","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-408",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
