Chapter 701: Chapter 567, I'm Not That Perverted Chapter 701: Chapter 567, I'm Not That Perverted Wu Heng looked at the Skill Book when Shi Yali approached with a document.
She began to explain, “The Hundred Soldiers' Boots, accessory to the Robe of Hundred Soldiers, have an effect that as long as one's feet touch the ground, they can replenish physical strength by absorbing the power of the land. The second effect is an increase in strength, about 50% of the original, and every clone can have this effect.”
As she spoke, Wu Heng's gaze returned to the boots.
The Force of Cang Mountain described in the effects was actually this.
As long as you step on the ground, you can restore physical strength by absorbing the power of the land, which was indeed a bit exaggerated.
If you're wearing shoes, you're obviously stepping on the ground.
Who would carry them around?
The second effect was an increase in the user's strength.
This had a certain effect on Wu Heng, as he possessed some close combat abilities.
The most important point
was that this accessory came from the 'Hundred Soldiers Robe,' and after the clone effect was initiated, all clones possessed the same effect.
This set was indeed good in every aspect.
“Any side effects?” Wu Heng asked.
The side effects mentioned on the panel were a bit vague.
Shi Yali explained, “The side effect is that the user will be unable to perform any form of rapid movement abilities, including void movement, spatial movement, turning into mist, and so on. None of these can be used.”
Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, then that's fine, he couldn't do those anyway.
Then another thought appeared in his mind.
The inability to use rapid movement abilities shouldn't include entering a boundary door, right?
He could try it when he got back.
But it wasn't a big problem; if there really were restrictions, it wouldn't be troublesome to just take it off before entering.
“Are there any more accessories for the Hundred Soldiers Set?” Wu Heng continued.
He had now collected four kinds.
Each was an item rewarded for First-Class Merits.
They could be considered treasures anywhere.
He was also curious about how many more there were.
Shi Yali flipped through the file and said, “It seems there's also a Mage Crown. It's not clearly recorded, so we can't be absolutely sure.”
There was another crown.
That was almost it.
A person could only wear so much.
Clothes, shoes, a belt had appeared; there wasn't space for much more.
Wu Heng nodded. “Understood, go on!”
Shi Yali continued to introduce the next reward, a Spell Book.
“Awakening the Soul Spirit, a fifth-order ritual-type spell from the Necromancy Sect, can summon the soul of a body that has died without manifesting its spirit using 'Sacrifice' Ghosts. The higher the level of the Sacrifice Ghost, the better the effect.”
A Fifth-Order Skill meant it was a level 18 spell.
After Shi Yali's explanation, it became clearer.
That is, if a living being died and hadn't manifested a spirit, another spirit could be used as a substitute.
To forcibly awaken the ghost of the deceased being.
This was actually quite powerful.
Not everyone under level 18 got the chance to become a Ghost; with this skill, some people could be awakened.
It was like having a skill to recover the irrecoverable.
A thought suddenly struck Wu Heng.
With this skill, could Xiao Xiao's mother also become a Ghost?
“How long dead can a body be to awaken the soul spirit?” Wu Heng asked.
Shi Yali looked closely at the file. “It's not mentioned here; you can experiment when you have the chance.”
“Oh, alright!”
Shi Yali flipped another page. “The third item is the 'Troop-Support Jade Talisman' from the leader of the Blood Clan, Lilith. In times of danger, you can shatter the Jade Talisman, and its power will offer you aid.”
With the introduction of the three rewards completed,
Shi Yali closed the file.
Seeing Wu Heng had no further questions, she returned to her desk.
Wu Heng put away the rewards and looked at Xi Ligui, “Didn't they give you a reward?”
She was a Steward of Gold and Silver Island; surely, her contributions also merited a share.
“They didn't give me the treatment you got; just a Troop-Support Jade Talisman for me.”
“That's pretty good too,” Wu Heng said.
After all, Xi Ligui hadn't joined the fight.
Sitting at home and receiving a reward was already quite good.
“I'm riding on your coattails,” she said.
“No need to be polite!” Wu Heng said with a smile.
He then picked up an envelope from the coffee table, tore it open, and shook out the letter.
Island Lord Wu Heng:
This incident has exhibited your exceptional performance, and with steadfast conviction and ability, you flawlessly completed the task.
The Fifth Fleet's unauthorized venture into the Emerald Sea in an attempt to release the “Exiles” is already under investigation within the clan, and soon there will be a result.
Once the investigation reveals that others are implicated, they will be purged and dealt with.
As a follow-up, you will continue to act as a member of the “Enforcement Team,” investigating and overseeing the external actions of the Blood Clan and gathering relevant intelligence.
I have prepared three rewards for you, which have already been sent through the association to compensate for your losses in this battle.
I hope you maintain your enthusiasm and focus, bravely forge ahead, and carry out the duties of the Enforcement Team.
—-Lilith Ann Beshmit.
The letter was written by Lilith.
But it didn't contain anything substantive.
It was mainly praises for the recent operation, stopping the Fifth Fleet, and having sufficient reason to kill several exiles.
It seems, Lilith is quite satisfied.
The letter also mentioned that others in the Blood Clan might be implicated.
It seems my actions disrupted some people's plans within the Blood Clan.
I must also be cautious, lest they not dare to trouble Lilith and instead come after me.
“What does it say?” Xi Ligui asked with wide eyes.
Wu Heng handed it to her, “Take a look, Lilith says I have talent and am a rare find.”
This time Xi Ligui didn't refuse and took it over to read the content briefly.
“She doesn't rate you poorly,” Xi Ligui concluded, putting the letter away, “Are you going to reply?”
“Let's write one. After all, the rewards given this time are pretty good,” he responded.
Shi Yali brought over the writing paper.
Wu Heng began to write.
What he wrote was rather simple: gratitude for Lilith's trust and a promise to continue to do his best in fulfilling the duties of the Enforcement Team.
And if there were any Exiles, he could be assigned to investigate them as well.
After finishing the letter, he sealed it back in the envelope.
He handed it to Shi Yali, who took it outside to post.
…
The matter of the letter was concluded.
Wu Heng leaned back on the sofa, picking up a cup of tea and taking a sip.
Shiraz asked curiously, “Who came up with something like the newspaper?”
“I did. How does it seem to you?” Wu Heng asked in return.
“What made you think of distributing it on the island?”
Wu Heng glanced at her and said, “Haven't you felt that the distribution of the newspaper has had a significant effect? For example, the information published in the newspaper is more reliable and accurate, and it has become the main source people trust over rumors that used to grow wilder with each retelling.”
Xi Ligui raised an eyebrow.
That being said, it really seemed to have a certain effect.
Previously, with any intelligence and news, messages would spread and often become distorted.
The same incident could result in four or five different versions just on Lighthouse Street.
Now with the introduction of the newspaper, as long as the accuracy of the information is maintained, it can indeed guide the residents' knowledge and curb some rumors.
“Pretty impressive, to think of something like this,” Xi Ligui praised.
Wu Heng said with a smile, “Not bad, right? Mainly, collecting these pieces of intelligence can also make money.”
“You… I take back my compliment,” she retorted.
As they spoke, Shi Yali also came back from outside.
She sat on the armrest of Xi Ligui's chair, her hand resting on her sister's shoulder, then asked, “What made you think of publishing your own stories in the newspaper?”
Xi Ligui's golden hair was long, her cheeks plump, her features beautiful and delicate, her large eyes extremely bright.
It was only when discussing work that she would exhibit a sharpness.
Her sister Shi Yali, with shoulder-length golden hair, had softer facial lines and eyes always filled with a smiling expression.
The two sisters looked similar and were a pleasant sight when they sat together.
Wu Heng replied, “At first, I just wanted to serialize some stories to boost newspaper sales. Someone suggested that publishing these kinds of stories could also change the island residents' perception of me.”
Xi Ligui laughed, “You're quite confident, knowing that your stories would be so popular.”
Wu Heng was fairly confident about the popularity of the stories.
After all, the great detective story collections were global bestsellers in the modern world.
In an Otherworld that lacked novels, their popularity was not surprising.
What he hadn't expected was for the serialization to have such an impact by the second issue.
Xi Ligui asked, “Does Watson really exist? Did he write the story? I've never seen him.”
Wu Heng replied, “A stage name, the name in the novels. I'll introduce you if there's a chance.”
Shi Yali followed up, “Do you really like hitting corpses on the buttocks with a stick?”
“Artistic exaggeration, I am not that perverse.”
