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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally intended not to adjust the prices at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were selling ammunition to themselves without offering any discounts, and now they were repeatedly discussing prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat displeasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after giving it some thought, he realized that they still needed hordes of zombies for leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies in the city center had been cleared out, and the next step was expansion outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be contacts with the provincial rescue teams or intelligence exchange later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was best to keep up appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, I will find an appropriate reason when the time comes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he continued, “Have the surrounding zombies been scouted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, get the convoy ready. We’ll go clear them out in the next few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!” Qi Hancai responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing their discussion, Qi Hancai thought for a moment and said, “Shall I take you down to the market?

I’ll get you a suitable piece of equipment later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow smiled, “Thank you, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng did not give the Guardian Gauntlets to Mini, as she could not utilize them effectively yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Wei’er, she had already been equipped with a variety of firearms, so she did not have a significant need for weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After distributing the items, Wu Heng continued, “Let’s get ready for dinner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.” Mini went to instruct on preparing dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng then went outside to equip several skeleton attendants in the courtyard with Sharp Longswords and Agile Plated Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The safety of their dwelling was very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, dinner was served at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having dinner together,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini went to the courtyard to practice boxing in her Wind Tread Garment, while Andre Willow fed the little owl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng went straight upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the study,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the windows and turned on the air conditioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool breeze began to flow in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timelines of the two worlds were synchronous, but their climates were not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zombie World had entered deep autumn, with withered vegetation and fallen leaves everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, it was still hot on Gold and Silver Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, as an island, the temperature there was not low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the climate, the location of Gold and Silver Island likely belonged to a tropical monsoon climate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no such thing as winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with everyone being professionals with high Constitution, they weren’t particularly bothered by the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed a suitable place for living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting down at his desk, Wu Heng took out the unfinished ‘Mansion Skill’ book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the teapot on the shelf by the door, he cast Animate Object and the teapot floated over, filling his teacup with tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng took a sip from his cup and started reading the book attentively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, once you’ve learned this skill, you carry a house with you wherever you go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, you can alter the interior decors and furniture or add some servants to attend to you according to your wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was uncertain whether it could achieve this effect, but the description was indeed enticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the page he had left off on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And continued to read further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind, was the detailed explanation of the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mansion Skill, in terms of the type of magic, belonged to the curse system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic diagrams recorded above were the most numerous and complicated ever encountered in a Skill Book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were Spell patterns Wu Heng had seen before, including spatial expansion, material transformation, and curse condensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest was comprised of several diagrams he had not seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him suspect the breadth of knowledge and level the creator of this magic had reached to be terrifyingly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possibly level 18 or even having achieved the heroic tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he didn’t need to truly delve into studying magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just reading it through normally was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refocused and started to read carefully again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world outside the window had dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only read about half of the thickness of the entire book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the book had no page numbers, he didn’t know exactly which page he was on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by now, his head felt somewhat heavy and dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his intelligence over 40, he found such materials somewhat challenging to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a bookmark and placed it on the page he was reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he let Glenda and Xiao Xiao out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” Glenda asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay!” Glenda nodded, gesturing with her hand, as a book floated over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began to read it as it hovered beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiao pulled out a tablet, manipulated the stylus, and called up cartoons to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng turned off the lights and the air conditioning and headed downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just reached the third floor when the doors of two adjacent rooms opened simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow and Mini poked their heads out to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same moment, both were startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you say you were tired and going to bed early?” Andre Willow asked Mini.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter retorted, “Hmph, so did you. You said you’d rest in your room, but then you secretly listened for any sounds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng looked at the two women and asked, “Did I disturb you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, I plan to go downstairs and have the skeleton draw some water for a bath.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini looked left and right, then said, “I’ll prepare it. Master, you go back and wait for a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, that works.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng chatted with Andre Willow on the ground floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini called from upstairs that the bathwater was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng soaked in the bathtub upstairs, and the two women also came in wearing bath towels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, early morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two entered the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wei’er, you go to the library first, I have something to discuss with Shiraz,” Wu Heng said as they walked into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Andre Willow nodded and headed towards the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Wu Heng and Andre Willow went to the guild together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted her to go to the office library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself went straight to the direction of ‘Shiraz’s’ study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knocked on the door lightly and walked in after receiving a response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Shiraz had also just arrived at the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re here early again today?” Shiraz remarked as she looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng sat down in front of the couch and said directly, “I have something to ask you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiraz raised an eyebrow, showing a bit of seriousness, and said, “What’s the matter, just say it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know about the Evil Sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean the one from Kerim?” Shiraz asked, casting a glance at the skeleton following by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, that kind of Evil Sword. Are there more than one of these weapons?” Wu Heng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came to ask Shiraz because the other party was a professional magic swordsman and would definitely know something about sword-type weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, their relationship was fairly good, and casual conversation could reveal some information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard about it too. This year, the consortium sold that weapon at their annual end-of-year auction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng gave her a look, also suspecting she might have attended the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that weapon powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1720,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.488Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","6da4d2e52df17c83bd88e1ad12e7ea7989490547f7a8fafa8df0901c65c0e3fa","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-457","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-455",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
