The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 529 - 438, one for each person, it’s on me.
Chapter 529 -438, one for each person, it’s on me.
Shanaela’s head hung even lower, her face and neck flushed as if engorged with blood.
In her heart, she thought, “I run such a big merchant company and I’m pretty good-looking, too.”
Not any less than the Vice-executive of the association.
With a blushing face, she lifted her head and said, “Yes.”
However, upon the public revelation of the matter, the expressions of the two maids remained calm.
It was as if they had known about it all along, no surprise at all, just an expected confirmation.
“Should we prepare a room for Sister Shanaela?” Mini asked.
Shanaela immediately waved her hands, “No need, I live next door. You can come and stay at my place when you have time.”
After saying that, she lowered her head again, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Andre Willow curiously looked at Mini, “Did you also know about the master and Sister Shanaela’s affair?”
“Yeah, when I was cleaning the master’s bedroom, I found the bra I gave to Sister Shanaela under the pillow.” Mini replied. Then she counter-asked, “How did you find out?”
“I recognized the sounds at night.”
“Alright, alright, you’re all amazing, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s hurry up and eat; I’ve prepared presents for you all to see later.” Shanaela couldn’t stand it anymore and immediately interrupted their discussion on how they found out.
Finding a bra under the pillow was embarrassing enough.
Not to mention recognizing by sound.
Wu Heng also said with a smile, “Stop teasing her, let’s eat. If the gifts tonight aren’t good, I won’t let Shanaela leave.”
Mini and Andre Willow both laughed and added a few words in agreement.
They continued with their meal.
After dinner was over.
In the living room, Shanaela formally presented two gifts to the two women.
They were just pieces of jewelry, but from the craftsmanship and materials used, one could tell they were definitely not cheap.
It seemed she had prepared them in advance, just waiting for today’s revelation.
The two maids were very happy to receive the gifts.
After all, besides Wu Heng, this was the first time anyone had given them gifts, and such nice ones at that.
By then, Shanaela wasn’t as shy as she had been at the beginning.
When asked how they had started dating, she roughly recounted being rescued from pirates by Wu Heng.
And how they developed a mutual liking for each other.
Mini exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, your story sounds like something out of a tale, Sister Shanaela is really lucky. Not like Wei’er and me; we were bought.”
As she said this, Shanaela also felt that her story with Wu Heng.
Really was like a knight and princess tale.
Except their romantic journey wasn’t as convoluted; they got along well, so they got together straightforwardly.
Thinking of this, she also felt a sweet sense of bliss and tenderly looked at the man sitting beside her with a smile.
“Sister Shanaela, are you going back tonight?” Mini asked.
“This, go back…”
Wu Heng interrupted, “She’s not going back tonight.”
Shanaela could only follow by softly saying, “Then I won’t go back.”
“Oh, then I’ll go prepare another blanket, to prevent catching a cold at night.”
“Thanks, Mini.”
The two maids went upstairs to help prepare the new bedding.
Normally one would suffice, but it’s hard to say if it might be needed; it’s better to prepare it in advance.
Wu Heng looked at Shanaela and said, “See, they’ve long considered you part of the family.”
Shanaela stood up and playfully hit him, “Did you tell them beforehand?”
“How could I?”
Seeing he didn’t appear to be lying, Shanaela doubtedly asked, “Is it that obvious?”
“Alright, from now on we’re open and aboveboard, don’t worry so much,” Wu Heng said as he hugged her shoulder.
Shanaela leaned gently against him with a slight feeling of contentment.
Wu Heng remembered something and asked, “When can the merchant caravan return?”
“It will be awhile, are you in a hurry?”
“Not exactly in a hurry,” Wu Heng pondered for a moment and then said, “I want to custom-order some precise metal components, do you have a way to get them made?”
Shanaela looked up at him, “It depends on what you want to make. If it’s weapon components, it’s quite easy to custom order. If there’s a large quantity, we could even set up separate mass production. If it’s Mechanist components, it’s relatively more complex, but as long as the price is right, it’s not a problem.”
After thinking for a bit, Wu Heng continued to ask, “Let’s say I have a device that needs many parts to assemble and complete, but I don’t want people who make it to get the complete specifications of all the components and the final design, what’s the best way to handle it?”
Shanaela responded directly, “Easy, have several places work on it. If it’s really that important, employ a few blacksmiths and mechanists of your own.”
“Oh, that makes sense.” Wu Heng replied, taking a sip from his teacup.
Curiously, Shanaela asked, “Do you need to produce precise equipment? I can recommend our Wood Elf factory for production, but if you hand over complete blueprints, copies will definitely be kept. It’s hard to avoid this without production capabilities of your own.”
Wu Heng shook his head, “It’s just an idea for now; I haven’t produced any blueprints yet.”
Shanaela thought he was researching mechanist blueprints and rolled her eyes at him, “You’re a mage, why don’t you focus on leveling up instead of always tinkering with these odd contraptions? Had I known, I would have set my level to 18 just to motivate you a bit.”
“Motivation works now, too, like having a baby with me, or trying some new tricks,” he said.
Twisting in his arms, Shanaela chided, “Don’t talk nonsense; what if we’re overheard? It’s so inappropriate.”
The couple whispered softly downstairs.
Mini and Andre Willow came down from upstairs.
“The bedding is ready.”
Wu Heng gave her a thumbs-up and, amidst Shanaela’s exclamation, swept her into his arms and headed up the stairs.
“What are you doing, it’s still so early?”
“I haven’t seen you for several days; you may not miss me, but I miss you,” he said.
Shanaela leaned softly in his arms, murmuring, “Really, you’re ruining my image.”
They returned to the room.
Mini took Andre Willow carefully up to the fourth floor.
They quietly listened for any sounds inside the room.
When a light moan was heard, they looked at each other.
“Yep, that’s the one, it’s definitely Shanaela.”
“I’ve known it for quite some time.”
…
Early in the morning, Wu Heng opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Shanaela, who was nestled in his arm, also woke up.
Her eyes curved into crescents, she pecked his lips gently, “Waking up this early, huh?”
“Yeah, I’ve grown accustomed to it, you sleep a little more, no rush to go back anymore,” Wu Heng said, drawing her smooth body closer into his embrace.
Shanaela’s life was to be more laid back.
Going to bed late and getting up late was quite common for her.
It was completely different from his own routine.
Shanaela shook her head, “How could I do that? I can’t appear too lazy in front of Mini and the others!”
With that, she gently got up and started dressing.
Wu Heng yawned, sitting beside her, his hand caressing her skin, slowly kneading and stroking.
It made Shanaela blush with annoyance.
It wasn’t until they both had dressed that they went downstairs to eat together.
The three women had also planned their own schedules.
Andre Willow was to sit at the association, Shanaela would take Mini to check out goods on Lighthouse Street, and in the afternoon, they would pick up Andre Willow from work.
A full schedule, organized to the brim.
Wu Heng didn’t have time to join them.
He could only offer to pay, with expenses charged to his account.
After breakfast, the three women left their residence.
Wu Heng also got ready and headed to Zombie World.
Walking out of the room.
He directly called for Qi Hancai.
The motorcade was ready, continuing towards the uncleared area.
Soon, they arrived at the location.
After confirming there were no strange zombies around,
the Skeleton Hounds as usual lured the zombies while a sky full of metal rain cleared them.
When the horde was cleaned up,
the system prompt followed immediately.
[Level up to 16, Intelligence +2, Perception +1, Charm +1.]
Finally leveled up.
Having reached level 16, he was one step closer to the target level 18.
Moreover, it seemed that starting from level 15, each level gained 4 attribute points.
It was just a pity that he hadn’t unlocked any new talents.
Soon, the battlefield was cleared.
The skeletons began tidying up the field.
Wu Heng then collected Corpse Cores, transforming them into skeletons.
Once everything was settled, the motorcade began to return.
Walking into the waiting room with Qi Hancai,
a survivor holding a briefcase hurried over and said, “Boss, Sister Qi, these are the blueprints sent over.”
This many?
Wu Heng opened the briefcase to see it was full of blueprints.
Glancing over them,
he saw not just blueprints for machine gun ammunition but a whole set for a mechanical production line, to produce bullets and casings.
But the quantity was somewhat astonishing.
Fearing not even an ordinary person could assemble a complete machine from this set of blueprints.
“Alright, you’ve worked hard,” Wu Heng said, closing the briefcase.
“It’s what I should do,” the survivor said with a smile, then left.
Qi Hancai looked at the briefcase and asked, “Should we make a backup? Don’t want it damaged and then have to go through the hassle with the provincial area again.”
“Right, make a backup and keep it safe,” Wu Heng replied.
“Okay.”
Given the current situation, there wasn’t much use in sending these blueprints out to regular shelters.
Who could handcraft so many components?
Qi Hancai took the blueprints.
Wu Heng also assigned patrol tasks to the intelligent skeletons.
…
In a Different World, on an island,
Bang~!
The door of the tavern was kicked open.
Philippa, with a Green Parrot on her shoulder, swaggered in with her subordinates.
She glanced around the tavern with a tilted head and said, “Barkeep, a woman for every man in the tavern, put it on my tab.”
“Captain, there aren’t that many women,” the barkeep responded.
“Damn it, then go find them, bring over all the good-looking ones, I’ve got plenty of money,” Philippa exclaimed loudly.
The barkeep glanced at the owner, then went out to find people.
Meanwhile, cheers erupted inside the tavern.

People raised a thumb to the generous Captain Philippa.
Philippa waved her hand, indicating it was no big deal, then sauntered over to the bar, sitting next to a man with explosive blond hair and said, “Boss Jokim, got any jobs lately? Count me in.”
The man glanced at her, “You’re not short on money, why go out to sea?”
“Who’s afraid of having too much money? Plus, if I hang with you guys, I’ll have something to brag about later at sea,” Philippa patted her chest.
“You’re playing a good game there,” the man grunted, then added, “Nothing yet, but if there is, I’ll include you, and you can watch how we operate.”
Philippa ordered a beer, took a sip, and continued, “Boss Jokim, everyone’s talking about the Pirate King, is it true?”
