Chapter 711: Chapter 575, Bring It Out (One update today). Chapter 711: Chapter 575, Bring It Out (One update today). Challenging the Island Master?
The tavern fell silent in an instant, everyone looked forward with a mix of surprise and confusion.
As the newspapers were distributed, the Island Master had gained the highest popularity on the island.
At this time, someone actually wanted to publicly challenge the Island Master.
Judging by the person's attire and aura, they were clearly no ordinary individual, and the mention of coming from the association headquarters only confirmed their significant status.
Nobody in the tavern was foolish, and while they felt the challenger was somewhat arrogant, no one voiced any objection.
The young man continued to smile.
He spoke again, “Everyone is welcome to spread the news. I will issue a formal challenge at the association, and the venue and time will be decided in the next few days.”
After finishing, he walked down from the wooden platform with his hands behind his back.
At the entrance, he met up with an old man holding a wooden staff and walked out of the tavern.
Some people peered out through the window.
Turning their heads, someone commented, “They've left, riding in a carriage toward the Central District.”
Once it was confirmed they had left, the tavern erupted into a buzz of discussion.
“The last one this crazy ended up at the bottom of the sea.”
“Someone from the association headquarters coming over must be targeting the Island Master.”
“The pirates of the Emerald Sea all died at the Island Master's hands, does this pretty boy think he can challenge him?”
“The pirates were killed by mechanical devices. The Island Master is skilled in detection and solving cases, and since his profession is that of a Necromancer, if those skeletons are allowed to fight, the Island Master's victory is assured. But if the skeletons aren't allowed, he may be at a disadvantage in a duel.”
The discussions in the room quieted down a bit.
In a duel…
If the skeleton attendants were considered, with all the skeletons on the island, the challenger definitely couldn't win, rendering the duel pointless.
If they weren't allowed, the Necromancer would lose a significant source of power.
Winning by relying on various negative statuses?
That might be more difficult.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, deep in thought.
Meanwhile, the tavern owner brought out another plaque.
And put up a betting pool about whether the Island Master would accept the challenge.
“Don't clean this room just yet.”
A person entered a private room, stopping the bartender who was about to clean.
After speaking, he slipped a few copper coins into the bartender's hand, “We've reserved this private room, it doesn't need cleaning for now. We will call you when we need something.”
The bartender pocketed the copper coins with a smile, “Please, call out from the window if you need anything.”
Having said that, he left the private room.
After the bartender left.
A few more figures entered.
The one in the middle removed their hood, revealing themselves to be 'Mackintosh', who had made a contract with Wu Heng.
Mackintosh walked into the private room and closed the door.
Scanning the room, he commanded, “Search!”
The group scattered, searching under the dining table and chairs.
Once a full search was conducted,
A person handed over a crumpled ticket, “Big sister, we didn't find much, just this ticket.”
Mackintosh sat down at the dining table, pushing the cutlery to the sides.
He unfolded the ticket and laid it on the table.
Lifting both arms above his head while the other four hovered above the ticket, he began to use the Prophet's abilities.
His eyes immediately turned vacant, and fragmented images began to emerge in his mind.
Soon afterward, Mackintosh's eyes regained their focus, “Bring paper and a pen.”
Paper and pen were handed over.
Mackintosh quickly recorded the images he had seen, then handed them to an underling, “Deliver this to the Island Lord's Mansion. Don't take the main road, use the back paths.”
“Understood.”
Zombie World, the airport.
Commander Lv Chang'an, accompanied by Qi Hancai, boarded the airplane.
Both sides of the canvas were flipped open in succession.
Lv Chang'an smiled and said, “2000 rounds for the machine cannon, 1000 grenades, 5000 machine guns, 200 kilograms of gold. Vice Leader Qi, please check the cargo.”
“Let me have someone verify the counts first, then we'll settle the food with Commander Lv,” Qi Hancai replied, signaling to the survivors from the base to follow and begin the verification.
Afterward, she stepped aside with Lv Chang'an.
Lv Chang'an spoke, “I've heard, Xinfu City Base has started attacking the surrounding cities?”
“We had no choice, all the bases are calling for help on the channels. As the headquarters said, the more difficult the times, the more we need to unite,” Qi Hancai answered.
Lv Chang'an nodded, “If there's anything you need, we'll do our best to help you.”
“Yes, if there's anything, we will mention it to the headquarters,” Qi Hancai responded.
The two had a brief exchange.
The inventory check was completed, machinery was unloaded from the aircraft, and sacks of food were reloaded into the cargo hold.
After the transaction was complete,
they waved goodbye to each other.
The airplane left the airport, heading into the distance.
Wu Heng, along with his skeleton attendant and the sweater-clad baby owl, emerged from the building.
“The inventory exchange was similar to last time. They must be mass-producing the grenades and machine cannon rounds, 200 kilograms of gold, 5000 machine guns,” Qi Hancai said.
Wu Heng pondered and replied, “Possibly, but if they can produce them, where are they getting the raw materials from? Nowadays, the materials are the problem too.”
“That's true, maybe I'm overthinking it,” Qi Hancai considered and nodded.
“It doesn't matter, as long as they're willing to sell to us, we'll stock up. Gao Rong is also trying to research and dismantle the machinery,” Wu Heng said.
“Understood,” Qi Hancai acknowledged.
Wu Heng collected the inventory,
and glanced at the gold.
Unlike the assorted jewelry brought over before, this time it was one-kilogram gold bars, a total of two hundred bars.
It looked like they had seized some sort of gold reserve center.
And it was possible they hadn't exchanged everything in one go.
Once everything was packed up,
the airport was handed back to the skeleton guards,
and the convoy started heading back to the military factory.
Upon reaching the factory base, Wu Heng returned to Gold and Silver Island through the boundary door.
