Chapter 925, Lively Island
The man in the gorgeous robe put his arm around the woman's waist and whispered, "I heard that the nights here are brighter than the days."
"Yes, I wonder if I will have the chance to meet that heroic island master." The woman said in a tender voice.
"Get out of the way!"
There was an urging voice behind them, and the two of them made way.
The second person walked down from the boat, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a brocade robe embroidered with exquisite patterns. The corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind. Behind him followed a servant wearing a cloak. Under the cloak, one could see leather armor and a dagger at his waist.
More and more people came to the island, some with their wives and some with their servants.
Then, the second ship docked, and the dwarves, who were sturdy and strong with thick beards, also dressed in rich clothes, stepped on the planks and went to the island one after another.
Most people were visiting the island for the first time, and they looked at the port and the streets ahead with curiosity in their eyes.
In the direction of the island, there are a large number of island residents gathered. Their clothes are not what you imagine a pirate island should look like, which can be said to be very nice.
Also, some teenagers are into striped jackets and bowler hats.
Pairs of eyes were examining them.
The streets were clean and tidy, with flags of the association and Treasure Island hanging on white metal poles erected on the roadside.
There is also a red arch made of unknown material at the front, which seems to be blown up by gas.
It says Treasure Island Welcomes You.
Behind the arch is a well-arranged collection of buildings, with stone houses and wooden pavilions interlaced with each other, creating a bustling and lively scene.
If you want to say there is anything special, there is nothing too special.
But the whole island gives people a very neat and comfortable feeling.
Even the streets in the capitals of other countries cannot be so clean.
Everyone stood at the port and waited for a while, and the head of the local consortium, Rostand, arrived from not far away with a crowd.
Rostand smiled professionally, "Welcome to Treasure Island. I am Rostand, the head of the local consortium. The auction will be held at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow at the Jewel Flower Opera House in the central area. You can walk around the island on your own. If you are tired or want to eat, we have prepared dinner for you in the entertainment city."
Entertainment city? I've never heard of such a place.
Carriages were parked on the roadside, and everyone was rushing along, with no intention of continuing to stroll.
They all got on the carriage and headed to the entertainment city.
……
As we got closer to the entertainment city, the outline of a towering building gradually came into view.
The castle-like architecture, exquisite carvings, and gilded embellishments everywhere give people the feeling that they are heading to a royal palace.
And it is an extremely luxurious palace.
The main entrance of the castle has several glowing signs on the wall: Glow Paradise.
Entering the building, the floor is a bright marble floor with various colors spliced into gorgeous patterns. In front is a fountain landscape. The main body of the fountain is an exquisite sculpture of a beautiful wood elf woman holding a harp.
Further ahead, there are two rows of women of various ethnic groups on the left and right. They are tall, beautiful and full of energy.
They all shouted in unison: "Welcome..."
hiss~!
There were gasps from the people who came in.
He stared with wide eyes at the luxurious venue and the two rows of respectful and beautiful women.
"Just like the palace."
"I thought this was the mansion where the leader lived."
The noblewoman in the silk dress also widened her eyes. "Gods, this place is more magnificent than the palace!"
“Will it be very expensive…?”
Even wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, in the current environment, are afraid that they cannot afford the consumption.
The main thing is that the royal palace doesn’t have this kind of decoration atmosphere.
Ta Ta Ta Ta~!
Leitili came out in a fiery red dress. She was tall and had the aura of a strong woman. She came to the crowd and said with a smile, "Everyone, the consortium has booked the restaurant on the fourth floor today. You can go with me. After dinner, you can check out the entertainment here. They are all clearly priced and registered with the City Hall. There will be no random asking prices. You can also go for a walk on the street. Treasure Island is known as the pearl of the Emerald Sea. It is also bright and lively at night."
The consortium booked the restaurant, and everyone followed them upstairs.
His eyes continued to scan the layout of each floor one by one, and his expression became even more surprised.
And as night falls.
The street lights and shop lights all over the island lit up one by one. After dinner, everyone stood on the rooftop and overlooked the entire bright island.
……
Zombie world.
Late at night, Wu Heng flew back to the base in South Korea.
The plane landed smoothly and when he got off the plane, he saw Qi Hancai and his skeleton attendants standing not far away waiting for him.
Wu Heng walked over, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "It's so cold, why are you still outside!"
"You're wearing warm clothes, so you're not cold at all." Qi Hancai took him to the dormitory building and asked, "Is there something wrong with him?"
"No, I came back after the problem was solved." Wu Heng said directly.
"So fast?" Qi Hancai was stunned. This was even faster than the last time they cleared the Mexican base.
"It's just an ordinary ghost. Most of its time is wasted on the road." Wu Heng explained.
Qi Hancai didn't say much and returned to the dormitory together.
After taking a shower.
The two of them were lying on the bed.
Wu Heng continued, "They spent such a huge amount of money this time just for a research blueprint."
Qi Hancai, who was lying on the bed looking at a tablet, looked up and asked, "What drawing?"
"A bomb that involves infrasonic technology." Wu Heng continued, "I brought back the electronic version of the blueprint and plan to have someone study it."
Qi Hancai frowned and pondered for a moment, then continued, "I suggest that we let Gao Rong do the research. I have many people here and they all have different opinions. If it gets leaked out, it will damage the relationship between the two parties."
I'm not afraid of the other party, but it's not a glorious thing after all.
"That's fine." Wu Heng nodded, "Don't forget to pay them for dealing with the ghosts."
"I know. I'll tell you tomorrow." Qi Hancai turned off the phone and leaned in his arms.
The two fell into a deep sleep.
……
The next day, Wu Heng flew back to China.
The electronic drawings were given to Gao Rong, who was asked to arrange for technical personnel to analyze and summarize them, while also ensuring that the drawings were kept confidential.
After handing over the task, he went straight back to Xinfu City Prison.
Entering the cell area, Wu Heng activated the [Mansion Technique] and asked the skeleton to drag out the crawler that was caught yesterday.
After one night, the crawler's injuries recovered a lot.
He tried to struggle and resist, but was beaten by the Skeleton's flashing fists and was seriously injured again. He was locked in a cell and the iron door was closed again.
Wu Heng said to the alchemical skull: "Don't use the corpse core. First inject it with some of the corpse king's blood virus and see if it has any effect."
There are only two types of zombie kings discovered so far. One is the zombie king with flowers on its head. Its combat power is not high, but it can control more zombies.
One is a skeleton with wings on its back like a rhinoceros beetle, characterized by combat power and flight.
It seems that this kind of skeleton in the form of a crawler has not been discovered.
I have some doubts as to whether this type of zombie can continue to evolve.
The Alchemy Skull nodded and wrote down the plan.
After dealing with the crawler, Xiao Xiao also flew out of the cell next door. "Those zombies haven't upgraded yet. They seem so stupid."
"Don't worry, take your time." Wu Heng comforted with a smile and took Youhun back to the monitoring room.
Open the gate and return to Treasure Island.
……
Come down from upstairs.
Then I saw the hall was filled with all kinds of rare gifts.
Annette and Robert were directing the skeletons to deliver various gifts to different storage rooms according to their types.
Hearing the footsteps, the two turned around and shouted in surprise, "Master!"
"Who's here? Bringing so many things?" Wu Heng asked.
After I became the owner of the island, people always came to visit me. At first, they wanted to cooperate with Treasure Island and sell pens and watches. Later, I became a hero and more people came to visit me.
Later, the relationship between the Holy See and Treasure Island deteriorated, which resulted in no one coming here for a long time.
The gifts I received today probably made up for what I missed during the previous period.
Annette said, "Master, the consortium's ships are docking one after another. Since this morning, people have been visiting us. These are the gifts they sent."
The consortium's fleet has begun to land on the island.
Wu Heng continued to ask: "Where are Minnie and Wei'er?"
"At the door, recording the names and countries of people who come to give gifts," Annette continued.
After collecting the items, the other party's name and power should also be recorded.
Otherwise, people will feel like the gift is given for free.
"Where's Shannella?"
"Sister Shannella went out early in the morning."
Wu Heng nodded and continued, "If you like any of the gifts, just pick them out yourself, and put the ones you don't like in the warehouse."
"Wait for Sister Shannella to come back and choose first." Robe said with a smile.
"You're so sensible. You guys go ahead and get busy." Wu Heng nodded with a smile, then lay down on the sofa beside him. He used 'Divine Presence' to possess a patrolling skeleton and check the situation on the street.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
……
Lilith's Mansion.
"Sister, it's so lively outside." Xiao Xiao stuck his head into the coffin lid and said with his face close to hers.
Lilith opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why didn't you bring the doll with you?"
"There are so many people at the door of the island master's mansion, and I can't get out. There are also many people outside here, sister." Xiaoxiao continued.
When she flew over, she saw that Lilith's mansion was also full of people.
The housekeeper and several members of the association were registering.
The method is similar to that of the Island Master's Mansion. Accept the gifts and record the names.
"They are all here to visit. What do you do with all the gifts your uncle receives?" Lilith pushed open the coffin lid and asked casually.
Xiao Xiao said, "If we don't find anything we like, we can store it in the warehouse first and bring it to whoever we go to see next time."
Lilith raised her eyebrows and glanced at the things Wu Heng brought not far away.
It turns out they are all leftovers.
"Sister, so many people came to give gifts, can you and uncle remember it?" Xiaoxiao continued to ask.
"I can't remember. I don't even know who is who. But if you don't accept them, they won't be able to sleep well when they go back." Lilith replied indifferently.
"Oh oh." Xiaoxiao nodded with some understanding.
Lilith sat down and said, "The entertainment city on the island has opened. I went to see it yesterday and it was quite lively. Bring your doll and we will go play the game consoles."
"Okay." Xiao Xiao agreed happily, and then said, "Will it be weird if I take the doll out?"
Lilith said, "Let's dress more conservatively. It won't be a big problem. Those people are not of high level."
"Okay, I'll ask uncle to get the money for us." Xiaoxiao cheered.
Lilith raised her eyebrows, "Let him take more."
……
Beacon Street.
Wu Heng's "god-presence" was on the skeleton, and he followed the patrol team along the road.
The liveliness of the entire commercial street has also been pushed to a new height.
Everywhere you can see wealthy merchants and dignitaries wearing gorgeous clothes and beautifully dressed ladies.
There were shop assistants soliciting customers at the store doors, and some vendors were carrying loads and shouting about their goods. The whole street became extremely crowded.
Some carriages move faster than walking.
For these wealthy merchants and aristocrats, these seem to be novel experiences.
Every time Treasure Island holds an event, the residents of the island can also make some money, so they are not averse to having guests come to the island.
"Master, Sister Shannella is here with Miss Letili."
I followed the skeleton around and heard Robe's voice.
[Spirit’s Presence] is lifted, and the spirit returns to the body.
Wu Heng sat up from the sofa, covered with a blanket. Catwoman Robey was beside him and said, "Master, Sister Shannella and Miss Letili are here."
"Where are they?" Wu Heng asked.
Robbe said, "When I came, I told you to rest in the living room, and Sister Shannella took her to chat in the courtyard."
In front of outsiders, Shannara is still an elder arranged by the wood elves. She and Wu Heng are in a cooperative relationship and cannot appear too close.
Although there are already many rumors about the two of them in the outside world.
Wu Heng sat up and said, "Please ask them to come in."
"Okay, master." Robe jumped out.
Soon, Shannara and Letili walked in from outside.
"Chief!" The two men saluted respectfully.
"Please sit down. You're welcome." Wu Heng said with a smile.
The maid brought tea and the two sat down opposite each other.
Shannella said, "Since yesterday afternoon, a consortium's fleet has docked at the port, and the personnel have been brought to the entertainment city. Everyone's response there is very good."
Letili also smiled and said, "This is the most magical place I have ever seen. It is the right decision to hold it in Treasure Island."
Wu Heng nodded. He just glanced at the street and had not had time to look at the entertainment city.
"As long as the effect is good, I also hope that the consortium can gain something of its own." Wu Heng nodded with a smile.
Letili glanced at Shannella from the corner of her eyes, leaned forward, and said, "Sir, please trouble Madam Shannella to bring me here today. First, there is a room reserved for you for the auction tomorrow, and second, it's about the potion."
Wu Heng promised her that he would provide her with two bottles of first-level corpse core potion at the auction.
The auction is about to begin, and it is indeed time to give the potion to her.
Wu Heng said to the side: "Luo Bei, go upstairs and get two bottles of level one potion."
"Yes, master." Robert ran upstairs two or three steps at a time.
Letili's eyes moved slightly. Level one potion, it sounds like there are higher level potions.
It seems that Treasure Island has been researching more than one potion of this kind.
Soon, Robbe ran down again, took out two bottles of medicine, and said, "Master, here."
Wu Heng pushed it in front of Lei Dili and said, "You can arrange the sale yourself. You are more professional in auctions."
"Okay, thank you, Chief." Letili showed a happy expression and put away the two bottles of potion.
This potion is more valuable than her life.
The three of them spent the rest of the time chatting about things on the island.
Regarding the commercial value of Treasure Island, Letili kept describing it as magical.
It seems that he is surprisingly satisfied with Treasure Island.
After chatting for a while, Letili got up and said goodbye to prepare for tomorrow's auction.
Wu Heng nodded, and the other party left immediately.
……
Had dinner.
After disguising themselves, Wu Heng and the maids left the island owner's mansion and went to the entertainment city together.
This was also their first time here, and the entire entertainment city was brightly lit.
The place was bustling with gorgeously dressed dignitaries coming in and out.
"Master, it's so beautiful here." Minnie exclaimed.
"Sister Shannara is amazing. She made it look so beautiful." Robert also said.
Wu Heng led a few people into the hall and walked inside.
As soon as they reached the game console area on the first floor, several people looked at a location near the door at the same time.
A little girl in a blue sportswear and a hood on her head was sitting in front of a game console, operating it. Behind her stood another figure of similar height, wearing a black puffy skirt.
The middle-aged man who was playing at the game console next door walked away somewhat frustrated, and was replaced by another person behind him, who continued to play against the little girl in sportswear.
At this time, the area was already full of people.
"Captain Lilith? And Xiaoxiao?" Minnie said subconsciously.
The figure in a black puffy skirt who was cheering on the side also turned around suddenly and looked over, her eyes froze instantly.
