Chapter 705: Chapter 570: What Profession Does Your Mother Want? (One update, busy today, so just one update.) Chapter 705: Chapter 570: What Profession Does Your Mother Want? (One update, busy today, so just one update.) The story can be released according to the book's publication.
But the newspaper must not stop.
The role of the newspaper is not only to publish correct messages but also to influence some of the public opinion.
So, even if the great detective's story is concluded, the newspaper still needs to continue its sales.
It's just about finding some new stories to serialize; there are plenty of modern stories, which are a rich resource pool.
After having thought it through, he closed the panel.
He patted Mini on the back and hips, “You guys go play, you don't need to stay with me.”
Mini fed him another piece of fruit and smiled, “Then we'll head over to Lighthouse Street to see what ingredients there are, and cook something delicious for the master tonight.”
“Okay!” Wu Heng nodded.
Mini, with the two others, bounced back to the room to change clothes.
Then waving goodbye, they left the Island Lord's Mansion with the skeleton attendant.
Wu Heng alone.
Lay in the courtyard and basked in the sun for a while.
Two ghosts flew back in succession.
Revealing their forms beside him.
Glenda said, “This time the effect was also pretty good, all the taverns along the street are talking about the detective story.”
Xiao Xiao followed up, “The newspapers are selling fast too, lots of people are lining up to buy them.”
“Are there more people going to the taverns to hear the stories, or more buying the newspaper?” Wu Heng asked, sitting up a little straighter.
Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and said, “I feel like there are more people at the taverns.”
Glenda agreed, “Yeah, there are more at the taverns. Buy a beer, and you can hear everything that's on the paper; it's much more economical than buying the newspaper.”
Uh….
Now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case.
Once the newspaper is read through once, there isn't much new content.
Going to the tavern to buy a beer allows you to hear the entire content of the paper, and it seems more economical than buying the newspaper.
Now the taverns are crowded.
It feels like publishing the newspaper made the taverns profit more than himself.
But Wu Heng only thought about it to himself, there was no need to intervene in how everyone else wants to consume the stories.
The main aim was to collect reputation.
Besides, each tavern hiring bards to tell stories was also increasing the spread of the narrative.
“As long as the method of dissemination is good, let the taverns do it if they want to!”
Glenda added, “I saw two taverns have started betting pools, predicting in which issue the killer will appear. I think other taverns will soon follow with similar betting pools.”
“Setting up betting pools over a serialized novel?”
“Who can help that the newspaper is so popular now? If you want to make some money from this, you could manipulate it a bit,” Glenda said with a smile, giving him a hint.
Wu Heng's eyebrows raised, and he could guess what Glenda was thinking.
In which issue the killer appears was up to his side to decide.
When the time comes, based on the progress of his own stories, he could bet at the taverns.
If he wanted to earn this money back, it was actually quite easy to do so.
“Forget it, we're not short of money. Having the taverns be lively is beneficial for us too,” Wu Heng said.
Glenda shrugged indifferently, “It's up to you, I was just mentioning it.”
The pair of souls and the man had a chat outside.
And then they returned to their rooms.
Glenda went back to revise the manuscript, and Xiao Xiao went to watch cartoons.
Wu Heng then continued into the Alchemy Skeleton's alchemy room.
The entire room was dimly lit; even during the day, the room's curtains were drawn, blocking out the sunlight from outside.
Wu Heng switched on the light, brightening the room.
On a shelf to one side, finished elixirs were lined up.
The skeletons continued to concentrate on their tasks.
Wu Heng called over a level 15 Skeleton Alchemy Warlock and asked, “How is the new elixir coming along?”
The Alchemy Skeleton pointed at the potion bottles and the medication test stone on the alchemy platform.
“Tuning phase?”
The skeleton shook its head.
“Testing for medication effects?”
The skeleton nodded.
Starting to test for medication effects meant it was entering the final stage.
“Notify me as soon as the potion is finished,” Wu Heng said.
The Skeleton Alchemy Warlock saluted once more, turned back to the alchemy platform, and continued testing the elixir.
Wu Heng collected the other finished potions.
And then left the alchemy room.
The Level Three Corpse Nucleus Potion had been in development for some time.
It was one of the Fitness Elixirs that took the longest to create.
Fortunately, the progress continued to move forward, and it had now entered the final testing phase.
He was somewhat looking forward to the effects of the Level Three Potion.
Wondering whether it would awaken a new superpower for him.
At dusk, Andre Willow returned from outside.
Everyone sat at the dining table for their meal.
Mini and the others were excited, talking about the newspaper-related events on Lighthouse Street.
The serialized detective story in the released newspaper had become the hottest topic on the island.
After talking about the newspaper for a while,
Wu Heng said, “Wei'er, when you have time, contact the cloth business caravan. I need to select two reliable and high-quality ones to order some fabric materials from.”
“Sure, Master, I will contact them tomorrow,” Andre Willow answered.
“Right, and also recruit two tailors skilled in fashion design, preferably with higher levels.”
“Okay.”
After dining together, they all headed to the training room for their workout.
Only when evening fell,
did they each head upstairs.
As Wu Heng walked upstairs, when he passed the third floor,
The door of one room opened, and Andre Willow looked out with wide eyes, watching him approach.
Then she gently took his hand and led him into the room.
The next morning, at dawn.
[Experience +1.]
[Experience +1.]
[Experience….]
A series of experience notifications rang out, waking Wu Heng from his sleep.
First, he was puzzled, but then he realized.
It must be from Zombie World, where the teams sent to clear out zombies in a nearby city were starting to battle the undead.
Knowing it was part of the planned schedule, he relaxed a bit.
