She carefully sat down on the wooden step, which had been cushioned with a thick pad, wincing in pain as she did so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slyther glanced at him and said quietly, “You had my child steal things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As suspected, she was here to confront him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng coughed lightly and immediately explained, “It wasn’t stealing, it was just that matters were pressing, and you, Vice-executive, were not there at that time, so I had to take it first. I believe you would have agreed if you were there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think you’re good at making excuses?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not like that….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you took it, let’s talk about what you plan to offer in return!” Slyther continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about considering it a purchase?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slyther gave him a look and nodded, “Alright, the Vice-executive Inquiry Certificate, 500 silver coins, not expensive, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll go get you the money.” Wu Heng said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slyther was taken aback, looking at him with some doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering his living environment and daily habits, he didn’t seem like the type who could easily produce such an amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The price has gone up, a thousand silver coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng frowned at her, understanding her implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking for money was just an excuse. She, who owned a Money Cat and was a vice-executive of the association, couldn’t really be asking for money from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What would you, Vice-executive, like to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll know when we get there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage proceeded steadily and directly arrived at the Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed through the hall and corridor to the Association’s morgue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slyther’s gaze rested on one of the corpses, “I need to ask him a few questions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng understood. From the beginning, she had intended to have him cast “Communicate with the Dead”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Yuli who was following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter pointed at her own butt, mouthing, ‘No choice, it hurts too much’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, next time you need me just say so, it’s my duty to alleviate your burdens, Vice-executive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quite the smooth talker, let’s get started.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can only ask five questions, think about what you want to ask beforehand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He released his magic skill right after speaking, wrapping the body in necromancy magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the corpse lying on the iron bed sat up abruptly, its gaze falling on a few figures nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng signaled that they could begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slyther asked directly, “What was your purpose for coming to Black Stone Town?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We sold a special item.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of special item?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A sacrificial mask, it can enhance the effect of the sacrifice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone’s expressions turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sacrifice? They immediately thought of the children who had disappeared the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who did you sell the special item to?” Slyther continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was a commission from the Snake Badge Consortium, we only provided the item, we don’t know who it was ultimately given to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snake Badge Consortium…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any matter that involved the Snake Badge Consortium generally couldn’t be investigated further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the Consortium members, the identities of the buyer and seller weren’t known; everyone was disguised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have any other plans in Black Stone Town?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No more, we planned to stay a few days and then leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fourth question, and everything they wanted to know had been clarified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one question was left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slyther thought for a moment, then asked, “What is the purpose of your kidnapping children?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I like boys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the body fell back onto the iron bed with a thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this last answer was a bit unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had nothing to do with that sacrificial mask, it was just his own preference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s leave.” said Slyther, heading out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she had gotten what she needed from this case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group exited the morgue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slyther continued, “This matter is over. The acts of child trafficking and killing criminals will be reported by me, you can expect merits and rewards to be issued.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Vice-executive.” said Wu Heng, expressing his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slyther nodded, looked at Yuli, and commented, “Don’t learn the bad things, try learning something good for once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned around and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng and Yuli headed to the team’s rest area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered the room, Yuli yelled, “Give me a healing potion, my butt hurts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng handed her a bottle of healing potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After downing it in one go, she finally sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat grumpily aside, glaring at Wu Heng, “Why am I the only one getting beaten up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am a mage, can you bear to see a mage get beaten?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you talking about, why should a druid get beaten up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll bring you something tasty tomorrow to make up for it.” Wu Heng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted for a while, and Wu Heng listened to her account of what happened when she went back last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both left at noon to attend to their own matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the association, he suddenly halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly returned to the front desk in the lobby and said to the female staff member, “Could you check on the status of the tasks I delegated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost forgot about his main concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began to flip through the record book, “It’s done. Please wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded, waiting aside for a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, she returned with two boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, “Mr. Wu Heng, both of your tasks have been completed. One is the newly formulated potion and its recipe, and the other contains two bottles of Detoxifying Potion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both tasks are done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A joyous expression crossed Wu Heng’s face, he didn’t expect both potions to be completed at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was the synthesis and formulation of the Level Two Corpse Core, which had just concluded a long period of tests, and the second was the Detoxifying Potion from the Level One Corpse Core, which was completed faster as the recipe was available in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great, thanks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Considering the difficulty of potion crafting and the cost of the materials, you still need to pay 115 silver coins,” the staff member reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!” Wu Heng took out the money and handed it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he stowed away the potions and left the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng placed the new potion on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was different from the Detoxifying Potion of the Level One Corpse Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the potion was somewhat larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottle was about the size of half a palm, containing a pale blue liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Guard Wisdom Detoxicating Alchemy Mixture]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Description: A mixed potion made for specific toxins, it can guard one’s sanity and has various effects such as removing toxins.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Detoxifying Potion of the Level One Corpse Core, this potion has now gone through a name change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s now called a compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The description showed numerous effects; it seemed impressive albeit unintelligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading back to the Zombie World, he removes the Level Two Corpse Core from the Organ Jar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After disinfecting it with alcohol, he raised his head and gulped it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strength +8, Constitution +5, Agility +2.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system prompt appeared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could enjoy the good news, a severe stinging pain quickly covered his entire body. It felt like numerous steel rods pierced his skin and boiling water was bubbling in his marrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, an uncontrollable surge of rage emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly feel his sanity fading bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, he opened the mixed potion bottle and gulped it down in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he swallowed the potion, energy quickly spread throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain gradually eased, and the rage disappeared completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng lay down on the ground, taking in deep breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a while before he propped himself on Basen, and slowly got up from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This punishment isn’t something ordinary people could withstand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing up, he went to the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at himself from the left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscles on his body were more defined, exuding a stronger sense of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he had grown a bit taller as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it actually promote secondary development?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking himself out in the mirror, he was quite satisfied with the results. His attribute values had been boosted by 15 points in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was truly stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was mentioned on the radio that superpowers could emerge, yet he hadn’t noticed any changes in himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzz~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Heng was rummaging through the drawer, looking for a tape measure to confirm if he had grown taller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of electric sounds came from the walkie-talkie nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, a woman’s voice came through, “Hello, is anyone there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng picked up the walkie-talkie, “Yes, who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice certainly wasn’t Li Yahong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Wang Ke, a nurse from the second hospital.
