Chapter 1031, Expatriate Benefits
Chapter 1031, Expatriate Benefits
Treasure Island is no longer what it used to be. The once pirate-infested and filthy Lighthouse Street is now filled with the sounds of harps and poetry.
Even the wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the tavern no longer lists the prices of cheap beer and new girls, but instead displays the schedule of bards' performances, as if the entire island has become a sanctuary of poetry and song.
The demand for professional scrolls has also increased accordingly.
Wu Heng glanced at it and casually put away the career scroll that Minnie had taken out.
"Tell Hilary to apply for another batch from headquarters, and the island lord's mansion will buy them all." Wu Heng picked up his teacup and took a sip.
“Yes, Master!” Minnie picked up her phone, walked to the side, and dialed Syracuse’s number.
Catwoman Robbie picked up a piece of fruit from the coffee table, took a bite, and said, "Master, why did you buy so many bard scrolls? We don't need them."
"They will be distributed to some unemployed people," Wu Heng replied.
Robbie said, "My master is such a kind person."
Wu Heng smiled and stroked the catgirl's fluffy ear tips. "Hurry up and level up. I'll help you become heroes then."
"I've already tried my best!" Robbie muttered defiantly, draping her tail over his leg as if she were being affectionate.
Shortly after, Minnie hung up the phone; the matter of the scroll had been settled.
As the sun set and dusk settled, the group of people who had gone out returned one after another, chatting together.
The skeleton chef appeared silently at the living room doorway, wearing a pure white apron, and elegantly pointed towards the dining room with his other hand, gesturing for the guests to enter.
"Master, dinner is ready," Minnie reminded softly.
Wu Heng stood up. "Go to the training room and call them. Let's eat first."
"Go for it!" Robbie jumped up and ran towards the training room.
Soon, the group returned from the training room, still covered in sweat. After a quick wash, they gathered around the long table and began to eat.
……
On the table.
Sanella gently swirled her wine glass, her gaze sweeping over the wood elf sisters. "I just contacted the elders and informed them that you have settled down. Their message is clear: focus on your cultivation and advance to hero status as soon as possible."
Eluria and Sylvain looked up at the same time, exchanged glances, and then looked at Wu Heng together, "We are willing to follow the leader's arrangements."
Wu Heng smiled and said, "Treasure Island has always been a leisurely place. You just need to focus on training. As for the reputation, it will naturally be sold through the conglomerate once the cards are produced."
"Yes, sir," the two sisters replied in unison.
I felt relieved. It sounded like living here meant I wouldn't have any responsibilities to bear, and I could just focus on training.
Sanella took a sip of her drink, her gaze sweeping over the two sisters as her eyes narrowed slightly with a smile.
"Oh, right!" Wu Heng suddenly spoke up, "You all saw the 'Mysterious Bird Burning Pattern' this morning, right?"
The wood elf sisters' eyes lit up, and they nodded.
Wu Heng said, "If you are interested, you can participate in the training starting tomorrow. As long as you can learn it, it will greatly improve your strength."
The older sister, Eluria, immediately said, "Shanaira has already explained the characteristics of the technique to us, and we are willing to learn it!"
Just kidding, even heroes say it's a powerful skill.
How could I not learn?
It's just that I'm new here, otherwise I would have asked to learn on my own.
“Viola and Cila will be in charge of the morning training sessions. You two can schedule your training for the afternoon! Skeleton Rune Masters will draw runes for you then.” Wu Heng then looked at Viola, “Viola! You teach them.”
“Yes, sir.” Viola nodded.
After discussing the main matters, everyone began to chat casually.
Had dinner.
The maids went to the training room to train, while the wood elf sisters returned to their bedroom early to write stories for the cards.
As darkness gradually fell...
Wu Heng returned to his bedroom to rest.
……
The next day, in a zombie world.
As Wu Heng stepped out of the boundary gate and took out his phone from his spatial ring, a text message vibrated.
Wu Heng opened the message and saw that it was from Li Yahong.
"The low-frequency missile vehicle has been delivered to the prison. I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I had it parked in the parking lot behind the prison."
The efficiency is quite fast.
They even sent the missile trucks over directly.
Then I looked at the second message: "The priests have all finished their training. Sister Zhao asked me to ask you when they will be dispatched to various places for missionary work."
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow; the priests' side was almost done too.
There wasn't really any training content; it mainly involved getting familiar with the "Spiritual Revelation Scripture" and speaking in a way that sounded profound.
But it's also good news, as it has satisfied the missionary needs in various places.
After reading the text message, Wu Heng said to the person behind him, "Xiao Xiao, see if any missile trucks have been sent over from the backyard."
"Received!" Xiao Xiao replied and flew off.
It quickly flew back through the wall, its transparent finger pointing outside, "Uncle! There's a missile truck, you know, one of those big trucks with long-tube missiles on the back."
"Several vehicles!"
“Three cars.” Xiao Xiao held up three fingers.
Wu Heng nodded, "Okay!"
Xiao Xiao continued, "Uncle, give me your phone, let me see what fun things are happening on the forum."
Wu Heng took out the doll and his phone, and Xiao Xiao completed the possession. Then he picked up the phone and started looking through the pages.
The other three ghosts also floated behind, all looking at the contents above.
Wu Heng dialed Li Yahong's number. After a brief pause, a voice came from the other end, "Hello! Have you seen the missile vehicle?"
“I see them, three of them.” Wu Heng leaned back in his chair.
“Yes!” Li Yahong continued, “The priests on Sister Zhao’s side have been divided into several groups according to their languages. Now we’re just waiting for your decision on when to send them out.”
"Has Qi Hancai reached an agreement with the bases of various countries?" Wu Heng asked.
"It's been agreed that the priests will be sent to the base in South Korea first, and then sent to some safe places in the base to preach," Li Yahong said quickly.
Wu Heng tapped the table twice with his fingertips and then said, "I'm going over now, and we'll talk in person then."
“Okay!” Li Yahong replied.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng stood up and said, "Xiao Xiao, we need to go out."
Xiao Xiao turned her head and looked over, "Where are we going?"
"First, send the missile vehicle to Treasure Island, then go to the central area to see your mother," Wu Heng said.
"Oh! Uncle misses Mommy again," Xiaoxiao muttered, then detached herself from the doll.
Wu Heng put the doll and the phone into his spatial ring, opened the door, and went out.
The four ghosts followed behind, and Little One said as he flew, "Uncle, the forum is full of posts about the Spirit Revelation Cult, they're everywhere."
“It’s everywhere!” Wu Heng casually corrected.
Xiao Xiao was taken aback. "Really? Uncle, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Wu Heng didn't say much and walked straight out of the building.
In the parking lot behind the compound, three military green missile vehicles were parked on the open ground. The slender vehicles had huge military green launch tubes on their bodies, and the types of missiles were marked on the sides.
Two are the "Crow's Cry Low-Sound Vehicle - Modified", and one is the "Crow's Cry Low-Sound Thermothermal Vehicle".
It was probably labeled on the outside for better differentiation.
Seeing the two names, one can understand the purpose of the missile.
The first type is low-frequency sound waves, which are hypnotic long-range attacks. The second type is the original blueprint for the "Crow's Cry," a low-frequency aluminothermic missile.
After hypnosis, there will also be a high-temperature killing effect.
It seems they sent both types over.
Wu Heng walked over, opened the driver's side door, and saw the skeleton driver sitting inside.
He sat quietly in the driver's seat, and only turned to look at the skull when he opened the door.
After inspecting the missile vehicle, Wu Heng used the gate of the garage next door to open the boundary gate, and then selected a connecting gate at the base on Treasure Island.
After ensuring that both sides can pass through smoothly, reopen the boundary gate with the bronze key.
The missile vehicle was moved to the launch base in another world.
After everything was completed, Wu Heng returned to the zombie world and took an off-road vehicle to the central area.
……
Central District.
As the SUV approached the central building, Wu Heng said to the skeleton driver, "Go directly to the parking lot and wait for me."
After speaking, a magic circle appeared, and his figure vanished. Four ghostly figures followed, flying out, while the SUV drove directly to the parking lot.
"Depend on!"
Li Yahong's pen left long ink marks on the document, and she shouted with lingering fear in her eyes, "Wu Heng! If you keep appearing and disappearing like this, believe me, I'll plant two landmines to blow you up."
Wu Heng appeared in the open space inside the office.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Wu Heng walked to the coffee machine next to him and poured himself a cup of coffee.
Li Yahong said, "If something suddenly appeared while you were working, would you be scared?"
Wu Heng sat down with his coffee, and feeling that it made sense, said, "That's right, I'll try to show up at your door next time."
Li Yahong rolled her eyes at him, picked up the phone and said, "I'll have Sister Zhao come over now."
"No need, Xiao Xiao has already gone and is probably on her way," Wu Heng said.
“Yes!” Li Yahong nodded.
The two chatted casually for a while when there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
Zhao Yanqiu pushed open the door and entered, and Xiao Xiao also appeared beside her. "Hello, Aunt Ya Hong!"
Li Yahong's expression softened instantly. "Little one! I've collected some foreign movies and games for you. I'll have your uncle take them with him later."
"Really? Aunt Ya Hong is the best!" Xiao Xiao said happily.
Zhao Yanqiu ignored her daughter and said to Wu Heng, "All the priests are already familiar with the 'Spiritual Revelation Temple' and can be sent out at any time."
"What about the clothes?" Wu Heng asked.
“Currently, each person will receive one set of ceremonial robes,” Li Yahong continued. “The patterns on them took some time to develop, so we can only provide one set for each person for now, and we will issue the rest later.”
She paused slightly, then continued, "The church inside the base is still under renovation, and the construction will take about two more months."
"Let's use some temporary space first, no rush." Wu Heng put down his coffee cup.
“Sister Zhao and I think so too,” Li Yahong said.
Wu Heng nodded and continued, "I brought career scrolls, which are the careers you, Zhao Yanqiu, are learning. I plan to distribute them to the personnel who will be sent abroad first. Those who are missionaries within the base will have to wait and be given to them later."
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
In the base, a career scroll is comparable to a military medal.
Currently, only core members and top researchers have received it, and most of them are mechanics masters and alchemists.
The distribution of these professional scrolls demonstrates Wu Heng's high regard for these priests.
Zhao Yanqiu said, "Then I will notify the dispatched priests to come over, and you can distribute it to them personally."
“That works too,” Wu Heng agreed.
Li Yahong added, "Don't come here, go to the conference room next door, it's bigger over there."
Zhao Yanqiu nodded, dialed a number, and handed over the instructions.
The sound of hurried footsteps soon filled the corridor.
The three of them got up and left the office.
……
meeting room.
As Wu Heng and his two companions pushed open the door and walked in, twenty pairs of eyes turned to look at them simultaneously.
The room was filled with young faces, mostly women, sitting neatly in uniforms on either side of the long table.
These individuals are priests who will be sent to overseas bases during the training of priests. They are required to speak foreign languages, so they are generally quite young.
"Leader! Deputy Leader! Sister Zhao!"
"Please sit down." After everyone was seated, Zhao Yanqiu continued, "As personnel dispatched by the base, the leader has given you special rewards."
The air suddenly solidified.
His gaze returned to Wu Heng, and with a casual wave of his hand, scrolls appeared on the table. "You should have heard of the professional scrolls. When you go out, you represent the Lingqi Sect and the Yama Palace. This is the reward you deserve."
An unexpected exclamation came from the priests.
The matter of career scrolls is no secret within the base; those who obtain scrolls invariably hold very high positions.
They were either among the earliest followers of the leader and had made significant contributions, or they were individuals who had made substantial contributions to the development of the base.
They themselves actually managed to obtain scrolls, meaning they could gain special powers without needing to awaken their special abilities.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.
Zhao Yanqiu reminded them, "Aren't you going to thank the leader yet?"
Everyone reacted immediately, rising in unison to bow, "Thank you, Chief. We will never let you down."
Wu Heng nodded, "Zhao Yanqiu will distribute them to you later. She will also teach you how to use some of your abilities. You will definitely be no worse than those superhumans in the future."
"Thank you, leader." The crowd was even more excited.
"Send them out!" Wu Heng said with a smile.
Zhao Yanqiu distributed the scrolls one by one and then taught the people how to use them.
After the scrolls were distributed, all the priests left satisfied.
Only Wu Heng, Li Yahong, and Zhao Yanqiu remained in the meeting room.
Wu Heng said, "Tomorrow, we can contact Qi Hancai to arrange for the priest to go to various places abroad, and make sure to arrange some bodyguards to accompany him."
“I’ll make the arrangements for tomorrow,” Li Yahong nodded.
"Okay!" Wu Heng took out the remaining scrolls and said to Zhao Yanqiu, "Keep the rest for now and give them to the other priests."
"Okay." Zhao Yanqiu hugged her tightly.
Li Yahong glanced at the time and then said, "The cafeteria is open for lunch, let's go eat first."
"Okay." The three of them walked out of the conference room together.
Zhao Yanqiu put the scroll back in her room, and the three of them headed to the cafeteria.
……
Treasure Island.
After dinner, the mansion became lively.
Sanella, the wood elf sisters, Viola, Filippa, and the maids, all dressed up, gathered in the lobby on the first floor.
After everyone had gathered, the elder of the wood elves asked, "Shouldn't we tell the adults?"
Sanella said, "The fact that he didn't come down for dinner proves that he went out, so there's no need to worry."
The younger sister then asked, "Doesn't someone need to stay home?"
"The defenders are level 20 skeletons; there's no way anyone can come," Philippa added from the side.
The two sisters stared wide-eyed, but didn't say anything.
They walked out of the building together, boarded the island lord's carriage, and headed towards the entertainment city.
Aside from crossing the entire commercial street when they first arrived on the island, the two wood elf sisters hadn't seen the outside world yet.
This trip is to take the two sisters to see the night view of Treasure Island and the entertainment complex.
……
Entertainment city, main entrance.
Several carriages slowly came to a stop, and the women of Treasure Island disembarked one after another.
Standing at the main entrance, the two wood elf sisters froze in place, looking up with wide eyes at the enormous, radiant structure.
The six-story entertainment complex resembles a crystal palace, its entire body wrapped in flowing ribbons of light, as if the entire Milky Way were draped over it.
On the giant light screen in front, the gorgeous images flickered and flowed like a dream, illuminating the surroundings in a colorful way.
"Is this an entertainment center? A place to have fun?" the older sister, 'Eluria', asked in surprise.
The younger sister, 'Sylvain,' also asked in a trembling voice, 'Why are places meant for ordinary people to have entertainment built so nicely?'
Sanera stood aside watching the two of them, and after they had been surprised for a while, she raised her hand to close their wide-open mouths, "There are people watching, don't embarrass yourselves."
The two shut up, their expressions still showing surprise.
"Let's go, let's go!" Philippa called out from the front.
As everyone walked toward the main entrance, the once bustling entrance was now filled with stares from the guests.
"Master Butler!"
"Lady Sanella..."
People along the way bowed to him.
As you step through the gate, a wave of sound crashes in like a tsunami.
A variety of dazzling entertainment facilities, people screaming with joy, creating a strong visual impact.
Sanera glanced at the wood elf sisters. "Welcome to Treasure Island, the City That Never Sleeps..."
