Chapter 251: Chapter 210, Half City Lord (Seeking votes for the month, and recommendation tickets.)_1

“You’re quite quick with the news!” Wu Heng sat down, with two maids standing behind him.

In fact, it wasn’t strange that Laisia knew this news.

The Snake Badge Consortium has been developing so well in the city, it must surely have its own information channels.

Moreover, it was not a secret. Everyone who was present at the scene knew about it.

“Half of the city!” Wu Heng added another sentence.

“Then I suppose I should call you Lord of the City.” Laisia was still somewhat surprised, but accepted the fact.

Meanwhile, she was also glad that she maintained a fairly friendly relationship with him.

They could even be called friends.

The fact that he left his maids under her care also demonstrated his trust in her.

“Yes, it’d be even better if you added ‘old man’ to it,” Wu Heng joked.

Laisia shot him a glance, “You’re quite bold, half a city lord!”

Then, Laisia continued, “Will Ereno willingly give up the city? You should be more careful.”

“We’ve already signed the agreement, what can he do?”

“It’s just a piece of worthless paper.” Laisia stretched languidly, reminded again, “After all, he has managed Lundham City for so many years, even if he gives up half of the city, as long as he makes some minor moves to prevent you from running it, he will just take back the city.”

“What kind of tricks?” asked Wu Heng.

“I don’t know, just be careful. Even if it’s just half a city, managing it won’t be as simple as being a captain.” Laisia continued.

“Well, that’s true.”

“Those people, although they may lack their past bloodthirstiness, they have become more proficient in some underhanded tricks.”

Wu Heng thought about it, “Thanks!”

The two chatted casually for a while longer before they left the Consortium with their maids.

Under the escort of the skeletons and carrion, they headed back to their residence.

…

Back at their residence.

After resting on the sofa for a while, Wu Heng began to check the attributes of the skeletons that were newly transformed.

He glanced over Blood Axe and Tusk.

Their attributes conformed to their respective levels. Blood Axe focused on strength, while Tusk was more agile, resembling a rogue among humans.

Blood Axe is Level 14, Tusk is Level 13.

Their levels were nothing to sneeze at.

After checking these two skeletons, he turned his attention towards Skull Crusher.

As the leader of the Hammer Party, his combat prowess was astonishing to Wu Heng.

He was not brought down even when surrounded by 5 skeletons, and he had broken through the defensive line and chased after him.

If the two heavy machine guns hadn’t been pulled over, and he didn’t recognise the weapons and didn’t dodge them in time,

the final outcome would be hard to predict.

Luckily, he got lucky.

The opponent was killed by him and became a skeleton attendant.

[Skeleton Beast Warrior (Level 16)]

[Level: 16]

[Attributes: Constitution 38, Strength 42, Dexterity 28, Intelligence 18, Perception 25, Charisma 16.]

[Traits: Hollow Skeleton, Basic Soul, Savage Constitution, Ferocious Assault, Danger Perception.]

[Expertise: Two-handed Hammer Mastery (Master), Heavy Armor Mastery (Advanced), Beastman Weapon Mastery (Intermediate).]

[Abilities: Rage, Wild Assault, Enduring Fury, Unyielding Warrior.]

[Savage Constitution]: Possessing an unusual constitution, Constitution +8.

[Ferocious Assault]: When attacking with melee weapons, the battle will be more fierce, Strength +11.

[Danger Perception]: Possessing a perception above the norm, you can sense the presence of danger at the first moment, Perception +5.

[Rage]: Under rage, your Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength will significantly enhance for a certain period.

[Wild Assault]: Abandon all defensive postures and launch a frenzied attack.

[Enduring Fury]: Your rage is hard to suppress. Under ‘Rage’, it can only end prematurely by stunning or ‘actively’ stopping.

[Unyielding Warrior]: Strength and stamina greatly enhanced.

Looking at Skull Crusher’s attributes, Wu Heng wasn’t too surprised.

The opponent’s prowess on the battlefield was apparent, and his high attributes were expected.

But judging from the skill names,

Skull Crusher probably also belonged to the special bloodline of the Beastmen, and his Constitution and Strength were naturally enhanced.

Bloodline professionals were just like geniuses in the original world.

They were naturally gifted in this area, no matter how hard you tried, you could only catch up later.

…

After checking Skull Crusher’s attributes, Wu Heng turned his attention to the expertise he had unlocked after leveling up.

At the time, the war was still ongoing, so he didn’t have a chance to study the attributes of the expertise.

Now he had a good chance to look at it.

[Unlocked Expertise: Arcane Echo, Scholar of Necromancy, Undead Adaptation.]

[Arcane Echo]: You have learned to recover your own spiritual power and magical energy by circulating magic power, rest, or actively enter the echo state to receive corresponding recovery.

[Scholar of Necromancy]: You devote most of your energy to the research and study of necromancy magic, halving the cost of using ‘necromancy’ spells.

[Undead Adaptation]: You have resistance to the necrotic damage, and your state will not be affected in this environment.

A total of three expertise were unlocked.

The first one was called [Arcane Echo]. According to the skill introduction, it could recover one’s spiritual power and magical energy during rest or by actively entering the echo state.

Its effect was like the mana recovery or meditation in games.

Just sit down cross-legged to recover energy.

The Book of Necromancy had recorded this expertise. It was a low-level expertise for mages and would be unlocked when they researched and touched on the arcane secrets. Wu Heng had taken a shortcut. He directly unlocked the skill by reading the skill book, so he didn’t research any arcane secrets.

He barely unlocked it when he reached Level 10.

But for Wu Heng, it was indeed necessary.

The current quick recovery method involves drinking spirit potions, regardless of the cost.

Drinking this way, he was afraid he was going to build up a tolerance, rendering it ineffective in the future.

Being able to recover through the echo was a solution to a big problem.

The second one, called [Scholar of Necromancy], an exclusive expertise of this clan, reduces the cost of all necromancer spells by half.

It’s also a very practical ability.

At the very least, it can significantly reduce his own consumption and recovery time when converting bodies.

It enormously boosts his endurance.

Next comes the [Undead Adaptation], it provides resistance to dark corrosion damage and is unaffected in corresponding environments.

The so-called dark corrosion damage is actually the energy generated by undead creatures or necromancer magic.

Traditional necromancers, who need to develop magic, would spend a long time in environments filled with corpses or dark energy.

This expertise can resist damage from this aspect.

As for Wu Heng, even if he doesn’t research magic, it still works in an environment where carrion gather.

In short, all three skills he gained this time are very useful.

They’re not any inferior to learning powerful skills.

…

After checking all his attributes,

he closed the panel and called, “Wei’er!”

Andre Willow ran out of the kitchen, “What’s up?”

“Come here, help me write some things,” Wu Heng said.

“Oh, okay!” Andre Willow wiped her hands and sat down.

Wu Heng took out paper and pen from his space ring, placed them on the table, and said, “Write neatly. It’s for others to see later.”

“Okay.” Andre Willow picked up the pen and prepared.

Andre Willow, after all, was the junior clan leader of a tribe, her writing was very good, although somewhat delicate, obviously written by a girl.

“What to write?” Andre Willow looked up at him.

Wu Heng considered for a moment, then said: “Write, ‘Shocking, he was the one who solved the crisis in Lundham City, saving the residents from danger!'”

“Huh?” Andre Willow was startled.

“What are you startled at? Write the first line bigger, as a title.”

“Oh!” Andre Willow agreed and started writing.

After that, as Wu Heng narrated, Wei’er wrote on the paper.

Mini also walked out and sat next to them, watching curiously.

…

Zombie World.

Before the convoy left, Wu Heng returned to the hotel.

Coming down from upstairs, Li Yahong looked at him curiously, “Did you stay in the room all day?”

Although she didn’t want to pry too much, she was curious why Wu Heng hadn’t joined her in bidding the zombies farewell and had locked himself in his room all day.

And only come out now that she was leaving.

“Ah, just a little tired,” Wu Heng said.

Li Yahong reached out and touched his forehead, “It’s okay, just need to rest well tonight.”

“Well, my body is still quite good,” Wu Heng said.

“Come in and sit for a while, wait for Qiangzi to finish loading the gas, and then I’ll go back,” Li Yahong whispered.

“Come on!”

The two entered the closed lobby, Li Yahong immediately leaned into his arms, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss.

Wu Heng’s hands moved all over her, Li Yahong’s body getting hotter and hotter, her breath shallow and soft.

They entangled for a while before slowly separating.

“Today’s meeting time was so short.” Li Yahong frowned.

“Some things, I’ll make it up to you next time.”

“Tsk~! Who needs you to make it up.” Li Yahong’s cheeks reddened.

The couple dallied for a while.

Wu Heng continued to ask, “Does the prison have a photocopier?”

“Yes, do you need to photocopy something?”

Wu Heng took out the paper Andre Willow had written and handed it to her, “Make a few more copies of this.”

Li Yahong looked at the strange words on the paper, then back at Wu Heng.

But she didn’t ask further, instead saying, “How many do I make?”

“Above five hundred, get it done and send it to me as soon as possible, I have some use for it.”

“Okay, I’ll speed up the return at that time.”

“Hmm!”

Li Yahong leaned in again and gave him a deep kiss.

Then she quickly ran back to the convoy and left immediately.

Watching the convoy leave, Wu Heng also returned to his residence.

…

After dinner.

Wu Heng sent Big Guy, the Scary Claw Monster and a few skeletons back to the Zombie World.

It was not safe there either, and required high-level skeletons to guard.

After handling everything and returning from the courtyard,

he saw Mini, in a yoga suit, sprawling on the sofa lounge, looking at the papers in her hands.

Her shoulders, back and waist were sweaty, presumably just after training with Bawudong.

She was sprawled there, svelte and full of youthful energy.
