Chapter 1165: Chapter 888, 200 Tons of Gold_2 Chapter 1165: Chapter 888, 200 Tons of Gold_2 Wu Heng remarked, “As long as it's all been arranged properly and someone is assigned to protect 'Costas', our only high-level Mechanist, that's fine.”
“I've already arranged for people to protect him, and I'll pay attention to this matter as well,” Wen Mansha answered.
As long as nobody goes around claiming they are from Gold and Silver Island, being low-profile won't attract any undue attention.
Having said that, Wu Heng then inquired, “Has anything happened recently in Lundham City?”
After pondering for a moment, Wen Mansha responded, “Nothing significant, just some intelligence reports suggesting the Crown Prince has arranged for more people to enter the city.”
Due to my conflict with The Holy Court, the Religious Leader has returned to headquarters after investigating Yeko Kingdom.
The Crown Prince's side is starting to make some moves, both big and small.
Wen Mansha went on without waiting for Wu Heng to speak, “I plan to entrust one of the Skeletons you've assigned to me to 'Natalia,' to ensure her protection.”
Natalia is the Second Prince's Princess. Using the mask Wu Heng gave to her, she's pretending to be the Second Prince.
This is to ensure stability between the forces of Lundham City and those of the Second Prince.
If the Second Prince were to die in Lundham City, it would jeopardize the current stand-off between both parties.
“That's fine, sending over one is okay,” Wu Heng agreed.
Continuing, Wen Mansha asked, “Which is stronger, Kerim or this new Pot Lid?”
Wu Heng glanced at her and stated, “The new one is stronger, a Level 20 warrior.”
“Level 20?” Wen Mansha gasped in surprise.
She had thought maybe Level 18 or 19, but hadn't dared to consider Level 20.
Wu Heng said, “Don't shout. The Skeleton is indeed Level 20. Apart from heroes, no other enemies are a problem.”
He just now realized that he hadn't yet informed Wen Mansha that he himself had also reached Level 20.
But it didn't matter – the announcement would be made soon.
Wen Mansha sat stunned for quite a while before asking again, “Really, Level 20?”
“Level 20. Just keep it to yourself, don't tell others,” he emphasized.
“Oh, okay!” Wen Mansha nodded in agreement without thinking.
Several matters had been arranged.
Wu Heng then inquired, “How's my daughter?”
“I've sent someone to check if she's sleeping,” Wen Mansha replied.
Shortly after, Wen Mansha spoke softly from the other end of the phone, “Daddy is on the line.”
Wu Heng clicked the video call button on the screen and said, “Wen Mansha, just press accept, the green button.”
“Oh!” she clicked it.
The next second, both sides appeared on the screen.
Wen Mansha's eyes widened as she instinctively exclaimed, “Master?”
“This is a video call. From now on, we can meet like this,” Wu Heng explained and then smiled, asking, “Qinqin, have you missed daddy?”
The child peered at the screen before burrowing in Wen Mansha's arms, searching for food.
Wen Mansha smiled, “She's still little, eating is more important than anything else.”
After saying this, she started feeding the child.
Acknowledging the child wasn't paying attention to him, Wu Heng continued to explain the video call feature to Wen Mansha.
After chatting for a while, they ended the call.
Wu Heng got up from his seat and upon reaching the stairway, heard Mini's maids calling Wen Mansha “sister.”
She had just finished a call with him and was now calling Mini and the others.
Standing at the top of the stairs, he looked down.
He then went upstairs into the study.
Inside the study, the Three Ghosts were all busy with their own tasks.
Wu Heng declared, “Let's go check out Zombie World!”
“Okay!” Gran and Bella dove into their bodies.
Little Xiao Xiao asked, “Uncle, are we going to the Central Square today?”
“Got something on?” Wu Heng inquired.
“If you're going, bring the doll with you. I want to show it to my mom,” Xiao Xiao replied.
Wu Heng thought it over; since there was nothing pressing, he agreed, “Alright.”
After putting the doll into the Space Ring, Xiao Xiao too dove into his body.
He then opened the boundary door nearby and stepped through.
Stepped out of the boundary door.
Released the Ghost to check the levels of other Zombies inside the prison.
Now, with the presence of four Level 20 Skeletons by his side, he felt no less powerful than some forces.
The only difference is that Level 20 Skeletons can only enhance combat capabilities, but can't directly kill heroes.
However, they still hold an advantage in battles.
For example, a group of Skeletons could gang up on a hero, injuring or restraining them while he delivers the final blow.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao flew back from the direction of the prison, sounding regretful, “This time, none of them reached Level 20. They're so slow!”
Bella laughed and said, “They'll reach it sooner or later. You can start thinking of names now.”
“That's true!” Xiao Xiao's smile returned.
Wu Heng stood up and said, “Come on, let's go to the Central District.”
“Hooray, I want to show the puppet to my mom,” Xiao Xiao cheered.
The weather here had already turned to winter as Wu Heng rode the Skeleton Flying Dragon towards the Central District.
Despite his strong physique, the biting cold winds in the sky still felt like blade scrapes across the face.
The Three Ghosts followed, chatting during the flight, while Wu Heng huddled up and kept silent, hastening the journey.
Arrived in the Central District.
Wu Heng went up to the second floor and, in the empty corridor, took out the puppet and said, “Knock before entering the room, don't scare your mom!”
Xiao Xiao completed the Possession, and the puppet stood up from the ground, “Uncle, the way you say it, it sounds like my puppet looks really ugly.”
Wu Heng replied, “People in this world haven't seen these things, unlike us who are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Be considerate of your mom.”
Xiao Xiao tilted her head, thinking it made sense, “Okay, I got it.”
With that, she ran up to Zhao Yanqiu's room door, knocked, and then said, “Mom, are you there?”
When she heard a response from inside, Xiao Xiao motioned an OK sign to their side and opened the door to enter.
Since there were no screams from the room, Wu Heng proceeded towards Li Yahong's office.
He knocked on the door and then walked in.
Inside the office, Li Yahong was working on her computer with music playing from a speaker beside her.
Upon seeing Wu Heng, Li Yahong's eyes brightened, “Ready to come out? I thought you were going to die alone in the prison!”
“I missed you, so I came to see you,” Wu Heng said with a smile.
“Hmph! As if I'd believe that,” Li Yahong retorted, then said to the speaker, “Xiao Ai, lower the volume.”
The volume of the speaker was reduced so as not to disturb their conversation.
Wu Heng remarked, “This thing still works, huh?”
“I told you last time, didn't I? We restored Xiao Ai's program, and after connecting to the satellite, it can be used normally again,” explained Li Yahong while making him a cup of coffee.
It seemed he had been told about this before.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and then asked, “Is the program difficult?”
Li Yahong handed him the coffee and countered, “You want the Skeletons to learn it? I heard it needs a database, but it shouldn't be too hard, right?”
“What do you think?” Wu Heng asked directly.
“Let's give it a try. We have the personnel, and it's no loss to have some Skeletons learn it,” Li Yahong replied straightforwardly.
“I'll select some Skeletons later, and you arrange for it.”
“Sure!” Li Yahong nodded in agreement.
Wu Heng took a sip from his cup and continued, “Nothing's wrong at the base, is there?”
“Nothing. Everyone has relaxed with winter coming. No worries about food or drink, and there's sufficient heating. This is definitely the best base,” Li Yahong said with some pride.
Even official refuges out there would hardly have the conditions that their own base offered, not to mention trade for food.
Plentiful and stable electricity wasn't something every refuge could boast of.
“That's good. It proves that our previous hard work wasn't in vain.”
Li Yahong smiled and then gazed at him seriously, “Are you the savior sent during the End of the World? Many people are saying that.”
“No need to kowtow!”
“I'm not kneeling, though.” Li Yahong leaned forward slightly, then added, “By the way, we traded some food for information recently. There's a massive gold reserve in the vault of Pujiang City. The Skeleton Expeditionary Team has already cleared the area, but the vault's main door is made of alloy, and there are various locks we can't open.”
“The vault?” Wu Heng looked at her quizzically.
Bank vaults weren't something unusual; they had searched plenty of them, not really a big deal.
“Yep, the intelligence states there are reserves of over 200 tons.”
Holy cow, 200 tons!
