Chapter 325: Chapter 270: You and Your Gluttony

“`

Last time I went to see the Steward, it was because I had a level two Merit.

Normally, a level three Merit can be claimed at the front desk.

In addition to the Necromancy Sect, there were spells from other sects inside.

Wu Heng’s gaze fell on the Skill Book.

[Living Objects]

(Description: Within casting range, non-‘Magic Objects’ will come to ‘life’ at your command, maintaining until the spell ends.)

Wu Heng’s eyebrows raised.

To bring objects to life…

Seeing this skill, images from cartoons of witches commanding brooms to sweep and teacups to pour water immediately came to mind.

It felt like the style of magic had suddenly changed.

But he had to admit, he found this spell quite interesting.

After exchanging for the spells he needed, he could also take this one to play with.

Continuing to look at a few more spells afterward, each one had its own effect.

Some could alter the terrain, while others, like ‘Ice Spike,’ directly condensed water elements to attack.

Unlike in Black Stone Town and Lundham City, where there were no skills to choose from,

the skills here seemed quite nice and useful.

After reviewing them all, Wu Heng directly said, “I’ll take this ‘Bone Transplantation’.”

“Okay.” The staff member made a record, and Wu Heng collected the Skill Book.

Actually, for normal combat, [Breath of Death] would be more suitable for him since it could create an area of negative attribute poison fog.

Whether to trap an enemy or to hinder pursuers, it could have a good effect.

But what Wu Heng considered was,

the repair of the skeleton soldiers’ bodies in the Zombie World.

Now, the skeletons missing arms and legs accounted for more than half of the total, most of which were skeletons that had reached level five or above from frequent battles.

If these skeletons could return to the battlefield, Wu Heng’s military strength and combat power would receive a certain boost.

After securing the Skill Book,

Wu Heng called out to the two women waiting not far away and walked straight out of the guild.

…

In the central area, ‘Snowborne District’.

Although not the best location on the island, it was still where the wealthy and powerful lived.

At the entrance, some workers were gathering their tools, seemingly ready to leave.

Wu Heng and his companions walked over.

Seeing them, a foreman quickly approached with a smile on his face, “Miss Andre Willow, my lords, young ladies.”

The commission had been issued through the guild.

Therefore, he only met Andre Willow, but judging from the positions of the group, he could make some guesses.

He greeted everyone just to be safe.

Andre Willow nodded, “Will you be finished today?”

“We’ve already finished, just waiting for your inspection. If there is anything inadequate, we can also make improvements as fast as possible,” the foreman said.

“Let’s have a look,” Andre Willow replied, and they all entered together.

The front yard was quite spacious, with a stone-paved path beneath their feet, and on one side, there was a swimming pool, though currently empty and with some leaves in it.

Passing through the courtyard, they entered the central building.

Unlike their accommodations in Lundham City, this building had four stories, each with an area of about 120 square meters.

The first floor had a dark stone fireplace, above which hung a brightly colored oil painting.

Opposite were the sofa and coffee table.

The foreman followed behind, softly introducing the layout of the building.

The first floor contained the living room, dining room, kitchen, and two bedrooms.

The second and third floors were primarily comprised of bedrooms.

The design of the building was intended to meet the needs of servants, guards, attendants, or some family members.

For Wu Heng, actually, none of this was necessary.

With only two maids and skeleton attendants who needed no rest,

these rooms didn’t have a better allocation, so they were all made into bedrooms.

The fourth floor was Wu Heng’s private space, with a bedroom, study, bathroom, and a lab.

The group checked everything and found no issues.

The foreman continued, “Miss Andre Willow, we have also preemptively reserved the wiring lines you requested. You just need to pull them slightly to see them,” pointing upwards towards the ceiling.

Embedded electric wire ends could be seen.

Andre Willow looked to Wu Heng.

Wu Heng addressed the foreman, “There are no problems, you can go to the guild for the final commission payment tomorrow.”

Upon hearing there were no issues,

the foreman also revealed a smile, “Then we won’t disturb the lord and young ladies any further. If you need any more help later, you can always come to us for modifications.”

“Mhm.”

The foreman bowed again and left the building, taking his workers with him.

…

After the workers had left,

Mini let out excited cheers again, seemingly very fond of this mansion.

“Alright, you go choose your rooms. It’s fine if you want to stay together,” Wu Heng said with a smile.

Mini stuck out her tongue, “Master, you’re the one who wants to live with us!”

Afterward, she pulled Andre Willow away to pick out rooms.

Wu Heng also went up to the fourth floor, first glanced at the bedroom, then entered the study.

He took out the entire bookshelf from the Space Ring, had ‘Skull Crusher’ carry it, and placed it against the wall.

Thud, thud, thud~!

Footsteps came from downstairs.

Mini stood at the door and called out, “Master, do you need us to help lay out the bedding?”

“Come in,” Wu Heng said.

“`

The two entered the room and began laying out the bedding.

“Wow, the bed in the master’s room is so big; the three of us could live together here with no problem,” Mini remarked as she made the bed, feeling impressed.

Andre Willow glanced at her, “If you want to stay, just say it, what’s with all the hinting around the master?”

“I’m not hinting at anything, after all, we used to live together in the association’s dormitory, didn’t we!” Mini muttered.

“You’re just greedy!”

The two bickered while making the bed.

Then, they continued to the bathroom to install the heated fish tank.

…

Wu Heng was sitting in the study.

He took out the [Bone Transplantation] he had obtained today and began to look through it.

According to the ‘Book of Necromancy,’ the development of Bone Transplantation aimed to address the damage that skeleton attendants sustain in battle.

A skeleton attendant that suits oneself is as valuable as a precious Special Item.

Therefore, repairing the damaged bodies of skeletons was also a subject of study for Mages.

Inspired by some ‘Transformation Series’ Spells, the [Bone Transplantation] spell was developed.

The process of limb completion was not about reshaping the limbs but ‘assembling’ them.

It involved attaching the bodies of other fallen Skeletons or remains and bones from corpses to the missing parts.

Which reflected the term ‘transplantation’ in its name.

Wu Heng read intently until he reached the last page.

A prompt suddenly appeared.

[Skill Unlocked: Bone Transplantation]

…

After unlocking the skill, Wu Heng put the book back on the shelf behind him.

Then, he left the study.

Downstairs, Andre Willow and Mini were hanging some oil paintings and decorations.

“Wei’er, are you going back to the association this afternoon?” Wu Heng asked.

Andre Willow, who was helping Mini hold a chair, turned her head, “I’ll need to go back. If there’s anything, I’ll inform you, master.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Alright, come back early in the evening. The roads are unfamiliar; don’t get lost.”

Andre Willow smiled, “Master, I’m not that careless!”

Mini hopped down from the chair and said, “If you can’t find your way, Wei’er sis, just shout, and I’ll come to get you.”

“Just don’t you get lost!” Andre Willow shot back.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, “Mini, go with your sis Wei’er in the afternoon, then come back earlier; it’s also safer to have a companion.”

“Okay, we can buy some supplies on the way back.”

“Alright!”

After busying themselves in the house for a while, the two women took two skeleton attendants and headed to the association.

Wu Heng also opened a boundary door from the fourth floor and went to Zombie World.

…

It was also afternoon here.

It must have rained last night; there were still wet traces on the ground.

Li Yahong came over from not far away, followed by Basen, who acted as her bodyguard.

“Are we going straight to kill zombies?” Li Yahong asked.

The previous plan was to clear the zombies along the way.

To open up the road to the city as quickly as possible, so more survivors could come over, and at the same time, to expedite finding ‘Xiao Xiao’s mother.

“Not in a hurry. Are there any corpses here?” Wu Heng asked.

Li Yahong frowned at him, “Human, or zombie?”

“Zombie!”

“I’ll ask!” Li Yahong picked up the walkie-talkie to inquire about any zombie kills.

After communicating, Li Yahong said, “There’s one, stuck on a convoy brought over by survivors.”

“Have someone take the corpse to the Skeleton Community.”

“Okay!” Li Yahong nodded and relayed the instructions through the walkie-talkie.

“Let’s go; we’ll head there too.”

The two went to the Skeleton Community together.

Not far from the entrance lay a blurry mess of zombie remains.

Before death, he must have been a particular person, dressed in a white shirt and suit.

Wu Heng unleashed [Bone Transplantation] right away.

A circle of light spread out, with Necromancy Magic wrapping around Basen.

Basen walked over to the body.

He reached out to tear open the corpse’s chest and snapped off two ribs, placing them onto himself.

The Necromancy Magic fused the broken areas by joining the two different bones together.

Li Yahong, standing by, had her eyes widened at this point.

Especially when tearing open the chest and snapping the ribs.

Her whole body shuddered along with the action.

Wu Heng also stood by, feeling that the effect was quite successful.

Basen’s damaged areas had been repaired, and aside from the color difference, not much else was noticeable.

There was no change in attributes either.

“Take the body and come inside with me,” Wu Heng said.

Basen dragged the body along, following him into the neighborhood.

Here stood many skeletons with damaged bodies.

Wu Heng released [Bone Transplantation] again, and the circle of light spread out.

Seven or eight damaged skeletons began to move.

Amidst the crunching sounds, they completely stripped the bones from the body.

All that was left was a slop of rotten flesh.

Li Yahong’s eyes grew even wider.

Watching the skeletons fitting the new limbs onto themselves.
