The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 904

Chapter 904: Chapter 723, The Next Step Plan Chapter 904: Chapter 723, The Next Step Plan “The cheapest are the ordinary green plants, 12 silver coins per bottle, grain-type for 25 silver coins, and medicinal herbs for 50 to 100 silver coins,” the Wood Elf representative stated the prices emotionlessly.

This potion isn't cheap.

The plant potion used at home usually comes from Shanaela, I hadn't realized that a bottle's selling price would be 12 silver coins.

That's enough to buy some produced green plants already.

Wu Heng nodded, “I plan to purchase grain-type potions and I also want you to take a message back, I'm interested in buying the potion formula, and I can guarantee it will be for personal use only and won't be sold.”

Wu Heng had discussed this matter with Shanaela beforehand.

The Plant Growth Potion was an exclusive elixir of the Wood Elves and it was this potion that undertook the majority of the grain trade in the surrounding seas.

The potions were sold to some extent, but the formula had never been sold.

Shanaela said that the Wood Elves would definitely not agree to sell it.

But Wu Heng still wanted to give it a try.

The Wood Elf representative paused for a moment, then responded, “I need to consult with my clan about this matter, and I might not be able to give you an answer right away.”

“For a long time, Gold and Silver Island and Starflower have been good partners, and since the planting location is not near the Emerald Sea, it's not feasible to continuously purchase grain from Starflower. I wish to buy the potion formula, and I hope you can provide some assistance on your end,” Wu Heng explained briefly.

To prove that he wasn't coveting the other party's formula, it was just that the planting location was inconvenient for transport.

“I will convey your intentions back to them.”

“Just convey the message for now, and I'll place an order for some potions first, arrange for someone to deliver them.”

“Of course, how much do you need?”

The Wood Elf took out a list and started recording.

“Calculate it for 100 acres and see how much potion is needed.”

“Yes, my Lord…”

After speaking with the Wood Elf for a while.

Wu Heng settled the matter of purchasing the potions.

The Zombie World had been farmed for a while now, and the issue of potions couldn't be delayed.

As for buying the formula, that might not get delayed indefinitely.

Even if the other party was willing to sell, with the back and forth negotiation process, it could easily take half a year.

The Elf Race, with their long lifespans, tended to take more time with some matters.

The normal potions still needed to be purchased first, and the negotiation for the formula could take its time.

After talking with the Wood Elf for a while and inquiring about the recent caravan issues,

The representative finally got up to leave.

After the Wood Elf had left, Wu Heng put on the full Hundred Soldiers Set, felt its effects, and tried it out to gauge the intensity of the side effects.

The set indeed had the effect of reducing side effects, but it was hard to say if they were halved.

But it should be quite close.

Deep into the night.

Wu Heng returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, and considered the plans ahead.

In the past few days, he had completed the plans he had set earlier.

The Electromagnetic Cannon assembly was completed, and the test shots achieved the desired effect, being able to destroy targets at a distance of 150 kilometers.

Of course, the accuracy was somewhat off, but the power was enough to compensate for that shortcoming.

“The target needs to be large, capable of destroying buildings. Going after a single target would be a challenge.”

“There are also the Etched Bombs, I need to visit the Snake Badge Consortium in the next few days to see if they can be completed.”

The second plan that was completed was the Hundred Soldiers Set.

The set I had been yearning for was finally complete.

It felt like when I used to play video games, rushing to complete a set, but when I had it all, the effects didn't seem as exaggerated.

It was just one more defensive piece to add, a shoulder piece.

And some weakening of the suit's side effects.

“My Mage set is complete; I don't have to think about changing it for a hero set anytime soon.”

“The plans moving forward…” Wu Heng muttered to himself.

Now that his set was complete, the next step was skill collection on the personal power front, and taking Level Three Potions to maximize his attributes as much as possible.

“As for my level, it's about reputation.”

“I need to be more proactive, using the situation in the Yeko Kingdom to gain reputation for myself.”

Especially with the Fifth Princess and the guild both getting involved.

As for the Zombie World.

The main focus is still on restoration and construction.

And modern equipment, to see what else is suitable for the Otherworld.

Having considered both sides in his mind.

He settled on the plans ahead.

Thud, thud, thud~!

A soft knock at the door sounded, and Mini's voice came through.

“Master, are you asleep?”

“Come in,” Wu Heng said.

The door opened, and Mini, in a black gauzy nightgown, followed by Andre Willow in a light blue silk nightgown, walked in one after the other.

Mini said coyly, “Master, Sister Veera said she wants to play the 'punish the Bad Fox' game.”

Andre Willow's eyes widened, and though the words reached her lips, she still didn't speak.

Wu Heng lifted the covers, smiling, “Come on, it's chilly outside!”

“Punishing Bad Fox it is!” Mini cheered and climbed onto the bed.

Andre Willow gave her a glance and then also climbed aboard.

The next day, in the Zombie World.

Wu Heng sat in the meeting room waiting for a while before Li Yahong came back in from outside.

Holding a tablet, she looked at its contents and said, “The copper coins and steel have already been delivered to the military factory, machine cannon and bomb production have started, and the Skeletons entering the food factory and can factory have learned almost enough to produce independently and normally.”

Then, she immediately added, “Oh, and the main station said they've encountered a very powerful Ghost, and they're asking if we have any way to deal with it and are willing to pay a certain reward.”

Ghosts?

“How did they encounter Ghosts?”

In the modern world, which possesses technology far surpassing that of the Otherworld, there's still no way or capability to deal with ghosts, especially during this stage of post-apocalyptic reconstruction.

There's neither the time nor energy to research how to resolve Ghost issues.

“It's not clear how they encountered the ghosts, but from the sounds of it, they've been giving them quite a hard time. They only contacted us because they were out of options and wanted to see if there was a way to resolve it.”

“And the reward?”

Li Yahong said, “They didn't mention it, but I feel we could try asking for a larger reward, considering that aside from you, no one else can deal with Ghosts.”

She was aware of Xiao Xiao's existence.

And she knew that Wu Heng had the ability to deal with Ghosts.

So, if the main station wanted to take care of Ghosts, they would need Wu Heng's help, and the price would follow accordingly.

“Contact the main station, tell them I can take care of their problem, and we'll discuss the reward later,” Wu Heng instructed.

“Okay, I'll notify the main station in a bit,” Li Yahong nodded.

Wu Heng stood up, saying, “Let's go, let's check out the factory.”

Li Yahong picked up the walkie-talkie and began preparing the caravan.

Then they went downstairs together, boarded a truck, and headed toward the factory.

In Netalee City, at the Association.

In the Steward's Office, Elder Tapani and veteran mage Gianvito sat, one behind the desk and the other on a couch, each with a newspaper in hand, their faces glowing red.

“Tapani, look at Wu Heng. He didn't even seek our consent before publishing in the newspaper!” Tapani sighed and said, “The two of us at level eighteen, blocked by the Evil Cult inside the city, then besieged by the army – what sort of image does this give off when it's spread out?”

“You're not happy about it?” Gianvito looked up and asked, “If you're not happy, write a letter asking Wu Heng to wipe your part off, and replace it with someone else.”

“What are you saying? When did I say I wasn't happy?”

“Your face is practically blooming with smiles.”

Tapani set the newspaper aside, “Wu Heng has been quite quick with his moves; the story is already compiled and sent over.”

“He must have people specialized in writing stories by his side; certainly, he wouldn't have the time to write them himself,” Gianvito stated.

“Mhm,” Tapani nodded, then pondered before adding, “I need to order more newspapers from Gold and Silver Island to be sent back to the Elf Race, to let them read about the Great Detective's tale.”

Gianvito raised an eyebrow, “Not a bad idea. I will also send some back. How many copies are you planning to get?”

“I'm ordering at least five thousand.”

“Then I'll take five thousand too. I'll go straight to Philippa and ask her to urge Wu Heng to deliver them sooner.”

“Agreed!”

The two discussed it, then called for a staff member to find Philippa.

At level eighteen, they were in need of fame.

The Great Detective's newspapers were already on sale, and it depicted them quite well; it would be a waste not to publicize this opportunity.

They even felt the number they ordered was too conservative.

At least twenty thousand copies.

At the City Lord's Mansion.

Fifth Princess 'Brittany' looked at the newspaper, her cheeks also flushed with a slight red.

Wood Elf Shanaela, smiling, asked, “You've read the content of the newspaper, what do you think?”

“I think it's quite good. Lord Island Master has portrayed me well too, just a bit too weak.”

“Common people will like a princess like you better, one who's soft and weak and willing to shed tears for them,” Shanaela said with a smile.

Brittany straightened her chest a bit, “I didn't shed any tears.”

Still smiling, Shanaela softly asked, “What do you think about Wu Heng?”

Brittany's cheeks flushed again, “Why do you ask?”

“If you want to regain your throne, just having him station troops here is far from enough.”

“What do you mean?”
