Chapter 1000: Chapter 797, It's Easy to Make Money in Small Places Chapter 1000: Chapter 797, It's Easy to Make Money in Small Places “Let Aunt Glenda think about it for you, she's the most educated.”
Glenda gave him a glare.
Entering the study, Wu Heng had taken all three ghosts back into his body and walked through the boundary door.
Coming out of the boundary door, it was still the dorm room he had left behind.
Standing by the window, he picked up the walkie-talkie and called Li Yahong over.
Soon after, there was a knock on the door.
Li Yahong walked in with her owl.
“How have things been these last few days?” Wu Heng asked with a smile.
Li Yahong sat down on a nearby chair and replied, “Nothing special, the pharmaceutical plant is producing at full capacity, and the military factory has also strengthened its management.”
Wu Heng nodded. “No issues at the prison, I hope?”
“I took a trip to the prison. From the outside, nothing has changed, but I didn't go inside the cells. I don't understand what those skeletons are writing, but it seems there are no problems,” Li Yahong continued.
At the prison, everything was operated entirely by skeletons.
No need for anyone to direct them.
At that place, Wu Heng just checked records or saw if the skeletons needed anything.
Plus, Li Yahong wouldn't understand the skeletons' operations even if she went there.
“Any news from Qi Hancai?”
Li Yahong said, “The South Korean base has started changing locations. According to Qi Hancai, they've demolished the shack area, and the personnel have been moved to the city center, similar to our setup here.”
“Good, let Qi Hancai hurry up with the training for the skeletons, especially in terms of satellite operations. See if we can launch another one, and tell Zhao Yanqiu to come back if she isn't busy. Xiao Xiao just mentioned she missed her.”
“Okay, I'll call her in a bit,” Li Yahong agreed, then glanced at her notebook and added, “Oh, and the main office agreed to lend us the talisman books. They will bring them over during the next exchange.”
The matter with the talismans had been going on for a while.
They probably hadn't worked anything out, which is why they decided to lend them out.
“No rush, if they're willing to lend them, we'll take a look. If not, no need to push.”
Li Yahong nodded. “There's nothing else then, everything is quite normal.”
Wu Heng also stood up and said, “Come on, let's take a round through the base.”
“Alright.” Li Yahong also stood up, and they both left the room together.
They took a tour around the base.
As evening approached, everyone went to the dining hall for dinner.
Wu Heng went back to his bedroom and returned to Lundham City through the boundary door.
Coming down from upstairs.
The skeletons had already served dinner at the table.
Wen Mansha said with a smile, “Master, you've come down just in time to have dinner.”
Wu Heng sat down at the dining table, Wen Mansha and Slyther also sat on their respective chairs.
He had a few bites.
Wen Mansha then said, “All the spies that spoke out have been caught and are being interrogated right now.”
“These people probably don't know much, a brief interrogation should suffice,” Wu Heng said.
Wen Mansha sipped some water, then asked, “Master, any plans coming up?”
“No big moves in the city for now, wait for that level 18 professional to arrive, then we'll discuss further,” Wu Heng said.
Slyther pondered for a moment. “The messenger and other spies in the city have been cleared out. This level 18 professional might discover these first things when he arrives; we should be prepared.”
“No worries, as long as he enters the city, I can detect him more quickly,” Wu Heng reassured them.
Slyther nodded, confident in his methods since he was so assured.
Wu Heng put down his utensils and asked, “Wen Mansha, is the Phantom Train ticket common in Lundham City?”
Wen Mansha looked over. “It's not common, but there really are some tickets that appear occasionally.”
“How are they obtained?” Wu Heng continued asking.
This messenger of the Second Prince had a train ticket within his Space Ring. According to intelligence, that level 18 professional would also come via the train ticket.
If the Second Prince also possessed such a ticket, it's necessary to prevent him from escaping.
To use the train ticket before one's own eyes would allow one to follow using the “Train Captain's Hat,” but if any intelligence was received beforehand, departure could happen early.
By then it would indeed be challenging to locate the other party.
Wen Mansha pondered for a moment and said, “Not sure, but there must be some method, or certain means, to obtain this kind of ticket. Master, do you not know the reason?”
Slyther, sitting nearby and listening, shifted his gaze toward Wu Heng.
Clearly, Wen Mansha knew more about the matter, and as the Steward of Black Stone Town, she was somewhat behind on the intelligence.
Wu Heng shook his head. “I don't know about the ticket, but I feel that the Second Prince's side or the people of the Secret Cultivation Hall might know something.”
“It's possible.” Wen Mansha agreed.
“Not having any leads is alright; perhaps the answers will come later,” Wu Heng said.
Wen Mansha nodded, looked toward Slyther, and said, “Steward Slyther, the master came over today, are you joining us tonight?”
Slyther's face turned a bit red at once, but she maintained her composure and said calmly, “I'm still staying in the next room.”
“It's alright, we both understand,” Wen Mansha glanced at Wu Heng and said with a smile.
“Rest well, both of you, and remember not to be too loud tonight,” Slyther got up and went directly to her upstairs room.
“Don't tease Slyther; she's a steward and doesn't appreciate such jokes,” Wu Heng said.
Wen Mansha, still smiling, said, “I saw the master was quite expecting just now.”
“Not at all.”
Wen Mansha laughed, stood up, and said, “Let's go, feed the child well, and we can also head back to our room to rest.”
The two walked into the children's room and played with the child for a while.
They returned to their room to rest.
Squeak~
Late at night, in the dimly lit room, the sound of the door opening was heard.
Slyther, lying sideways on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
Cheetah, beside her, raised its head to glance at the doorway and then curled back up on the carpet and closed its eyes.
Slyther didn't turn around but quietly waited.
Then someone climbed onto the bed, a pair of arms encircling her waist, “I've come to accompany you.”
Slyther said softly, “Not going to accompany your dear maid anymore?”
“She's asleep, I've come to accompany you,” Wu Heng held her from behind.
Hmph!
Slyther scoffed, her body bumped backward.
“Sorry, I haven't come to see you recently because of some matters,” Wu Heng whispered an apology near her ear.
Slyther sighed softly, but still turned around, saying, “If you're not visiting me, why haven't you written me a letter?”
“I wanted to, but after what you said last time, I tried not to write letters out of concern that Yuli might see them,” Wu Heng said.
“You're blaming me now?” Slyther glared at him.
Their eyes met, and a pair of large hands began roaming over her body.
Slyther stretched her foot under the bed and kicked at Cheetah by her feet.
Cheetah understood its master's gaze, sighed softly, pulled open the door a crack, and left.
Afterward, they embraced each other.
Two days later.
A train halted within a distant forest.
A man clad in dark leather armor, with a short blade hanging on each side, descended from the train.
He looked toward the distant town, donned a hood, and walked toward the location of the town.
200 gold to kill a city lord around level 10.
In such a remote place, the money was indeed easy to earn.
