Chapter 681: Chapter 550: They Want Me to Kill Someone (One More Update Today) Chapter 681: Chapter 550: They Want Me to Kill Someone (One More Update Today) This would also explain why they didn't call the Blood Clan Enforcement Team to inspect.
Instead, they appointed an outsider like myself to investigate an exiled criminal.
“Well, she really got me to clean up her mess,” Wu Heng instantly saw through the situation.
“Master, it's time for dinner!” Robey beckoned.
Wu Heng gathered his thoughts and stood up to dine with everyone else.
After lunch,
Wu Heng put on the Train Captain's Hat in the courtyard and headed for Lopaz City.
Snake Badge Consortium, VIP room.
Wu Heng sat in the room waiting, when an elf beauty in a dark green silk dress, Retili, entered.
She smiled, giving a slight curtsy.
Wu Heng nodded and went straight to the point, “Is the item I ordered ready?”
Retili smiled confidently, “It was delivered yesterday. I would have had it sent to you if I'd known your location.”
Wu Heng gave her a surprised glance.
He had ordered four Flame Furnaces of different specifications.
And it was delivered about the same time as when he had ordered one in the past.
Seeing his skeptical look, Retili explained, “I arranged for several places to rush the work at the same time, so the completion time was fairly close.”
Wu Heng nodded, finding this woman to be quite astute.
Their cooperation, except for some news about changing appearance tools, had been very smooth on other orders.
A stark contrast formed with the Consortium on Gold and Silver Island.
One was incompetent in every aspect, while the other made every effort to fulfill orders.
“Where are the goods?” Wu Heng asked.
“Please follow me, they're in the warehouse at the back,” Retili stood and led him out of the VIP room, along the corridor, and towards the outside.
They reached the warehouse where she opened the iron door to reveal four unassembled Flame Furnace structures.
After Wu Heng circled around and saw no apparent issues,
he put them all into the Space Sachet.
Once everything was stowed, they returned to the VIP room.
Retili sat back down on the armchair, crossing her long legs with her white calves peeking out from under her dress, “Do you need to place any more orders, guest?”
Wu Heng replied, “Continue with the commission to collect bodies, same requirements as before.”
“Okay!” Retili bent down to personally write up the commission.
Wu Heng glanced at her and asked, “Do you have any targets for this year?”
Retili looked at him and said, “Targets for commission fulfillment, performance targets, and gold exchange targets.”
“How much gold is still needed?”
Retili's eyes flickered, “Over 200 kilograms, it's a bit much since the new year just began.”
Wu Heng nodded and said softly, “Have someone prepare Gold Coins, I'll take care of the gold amount for you.”
Retili's eyes instantly widened, then filled with fervor, “Really?”
“I appreciate capable and clever partners, and I'm willing to help you with some difficulties,” Wu Heng said flatly.
“Great, I'll have someone prepare it right away.”
Retili left immediately to start the preparations.
Wu Heng, watching her excited reaction, felt amused.
The gold had been transported over these last few days by the head office.
Possibly to save on transport space, the jewelry had been compressed into a mass.
It couldn't be sold as finished goods.
During this time, Wu Heng intended to develop the island and make large purchases of supplies with the caravans.
Even without Retili's performance target, Wu Heng would have exchanged it for the more convenient Gold Coins, aiding her to meet her targets, and in turn, bringing their relationship closer.
The next time an order was placed, she would likely take it even more to heart.
After instructing her staff, Retili returned to the VIP room and started chatting with him.
In her speech, her interest in the status of her wealthy client grew.
Her eyes also took the opportunity to size him up.
Soon, bags of Gold Coins were brought in.
They began counting in front of Wu Heng.
“Guest, taking into account the privileges of your Emblem, the final tally is 6700 Gold Coins.”
“Good!” Wu Heng immediately took out the gold and handed it over.
Both parties examined the Gold Coins and gold and were both quite satisfied.
Retili had completed her annual targets in the early year, and the remaining time would be extra and much more relaxed.
Wu Heng received convenient Gold Coins and flaunted his assets in front of the beautiful elf.
After all transactions were completed.
Wu Heng stood and said, “I'll take my leave now, Miss Retili. I'll leave the commissions in your capable hands.”
“You're too kind, guest. I will do my best to fulfill your commissions,” she replied.
Wu Heng nodded, “If there are riders like the last time, feel free to notify me as well, whether it's a private deal or an order.”
Retili smiled, “Within the rules, I'll keep an eye out for you.”
The two of them talked as they walked out of the consortium building.
Retili bowed again, while Wu Heng headed directly towards the city outskirts.
On the deserted wasteland, Ghost confirmed that no one was following before boarding the train.
By the time he returned to Gold and Silver Island, it was nearing dusk.
Wu Heng returned to the Island Master's Manor, summoned the electricians, Mechanists, and Big Head Skulls that had been standing by for several days, and took them all to the newly constructed power plant.
The architecture here was pre-prepared.
The three-meter-high courtyard walls enclosed the already-built storehouses.
Wu Heng took out all sorts of prepared parts and machinery, and the Mechanist, following the blueprints, issued commands continuously through the Big Head Skulls.
Swarms of Skeletons sprang into action, starting to assemble various devices and components.
Wu Heng stood by, watching what seemed like a bustling scene, but he genuinely couldn't be of much help himself.
He called for a large number of Skeletons from outside to guard the compound, setting up machine guns on the wall to fully protect the site.
“You guys keep busy here,” Wu Heng said to the Big Head Skulls.
He received no response.
So, Wu Heng decided to return to his own residence for the time being.
The next day, early in the morning.
Wu Heng slightly opened his eyes and lifted the thin blanket draped over his waist.
Annette, with white drooping ears, knelt beside him, carefully attending to him, “Master, good morning.”
Wu Heng gently caressed her cheek, “You woke up so early?”
“I heard from other slave sisters in Lundham City that many people like to be woken up this way, so I woke up a bit earlier. Are you satisfied with that?” Annette asked as she gently rubbed her face against his hand.
“Satisfied, Annette is very good.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Annette, wrapped in a towel, had come to attend to him during last night's bath.
And thus, she spent the night with him in the room.
Having agreed to come with Wu Heng, she had already understood her own fate.
It was just a matter of when she would accept it.
After the two of them finished.
Wu Heng pinched her soft ears, “Alright, time to get up.”
“Master, let me help you.”
Dressed, they went downstairs together.
After breakfast, Wu Heng went to check on the power plant.
Since it was not yet fully completed, he went back upstairs, through the boundary door, and headed to Zombie World.
Zombie World, meeting room.
Wu Heng sat in the main seat, with Qi Hancai on one side and Gao Rong, the newly joined representative of Tiancheng Group, on the other.
After inquiring about their living conditions,
he steered the topic back towards the base construction.
Gao Rong suggested, “I propose that we first focus on military industry production, including expanding the bullet production line, manufacturing firearms and weapons, and restoring light industry manufacturing. The supply of clothes and quilts outside seems ample, but in three to five years, they will be completely out of use. We need to achieve self-production before that happens.”
Wu Heng nodded; the other had voiced his own thoughts.
“Sure, let's prepare according to your suggestions.”
“Besides military aspects, we have some blueprints and electronic examples for other light industries, all designed for clients before. Those with similar types can be modified for production,” said Gao Rong confidently.
“Good, in addition, I first need a newspaper printing press, not an ordinary copier, but the kind used for mass printing in a newspaper press.”
Hearing this request,
Gao Rong frowned, his idea being that newspapers were entirely unnecessary.
Moreover, all the survivors were modern people, and such things were already obsolete.
“Leader, do we really need newspapers?”
Qi Hancai said, “Just do as the leader says, prioritize the design for this, it won't affect other matters.”
Gao Rong glanced at the two, then agreed with a nod, “Alright, I'll get right on it once I'm back.”
After Gao Rong left,
Wu Heng took out the Flame Furnace.
He asked Qi Hancai to organize a convoy along with Wang Haibing to head to the various cities of Xinfu City to restore electricity.
In the afternoon, Wu Heng went to the city.
After clearing out a group of Zombies, he returned to Gold and Silver Island.
Night fell.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
One by one, the street lamps suddenly brightened, illuminating the Central District with a bright light.
The glow was stable and soft, lighting up the road that had been pitch black as if day had descended.
The residents on both sides of the street, after carefully checking the situation, cautiously stepped out of their homes with faces filled with disbelief and amazement, looking up at the source of light overhead.
