Chapter 155: 148, Familiar Silhouette (Two in one, one today.)_3
Wu Heng felt like he was just collecting skills without having many opportunities to use them.
During every battle, it’s basically up to the skeleton and the gun to solve the problem. If it comes to using skills, he either illuminates with the Dancing Light Skill or disgusts the enemies with a couple of Disease Beams.
The rest of the skills are essentially ornaments.
“Ah~! I don’t think there’s any need for me to be so keen to collect skills.”
Wu Heng muttered to himself.
There was a creak.
The door to the room was pushed open.
Duke, carrying his war axe and a roasted pancake in his hand, walked right in.
Seeing Wu Heng sitting at the table, he looked startled, “Wow, captain, you came to the guild.”
“What are you talking about, it’s as if I never come!”
“Hehe, no, I’m just a bit surprised.” Duke handed over the pancake he was holding, asking, “Captain, do you want some?”
“No thanks, you’ve earned quite a lot of bounties, why are you always gnawing on pancakes!”
“Er, my family is big, several brothers and sisters, I give all the money to my family. And there’s also the cost of making equipment, so I don’t have much left.” Duke explained.
“How many brothers and sisters do you have?”
“Six in total.”
Wow, that really is a lot.
Do Beastmen always have such large families?
Wu Heng looked at him again, asking, “Did you come to the guild to look for me?”
“Captain, the Maoliao Armor Shop said that the leather armor you ordered is ready, they told me to inform you.” Duke replied.
“Alright, let’s go take a look.”
“Okay!”
Wu Heng stood up, leaving the guild with Duke and heading towards the Outer City Area.
They arrived at the ‘Maoliao Armor Shop’.
The shopkeeper was standing in the shop chatting with someone.
Seeing them come in, he immediately put on a happy face.
“Captain, there was no need for you to come yourself. I had planned to send it straight to you.” The Beastman shopkeeper courteously said.
Wu Heng directly replied, “I came to check the merchandise.”
“Understood, it’s over here. I’ll take you to the warehouse to inspect it. There’s absolutely no problem with the quality.” The shopkeeper led him into the warehouse at the back.
He opened the warehouse door and was hit with a sour stench of leather.
This smell wasn’t much better than Poison Smoke Thunder.
The shopkeeper casually unveiled two sets of leather armour to display before them.
Wu Heng took a quick look and felt that it was not bad, almost the same as what he had ordered before.
“As per our previous agreement, 100 sets cost 3500 silver coins, right?” Wu Heng inquired.
The shopkeeper’s smile turned even more sincere as he said, “Yes, each set costs 35 coins, for a total of 100 sets.”
“Alright, have someone send the armor to my place, and I’ll settle the account then.”
“Sounds good, I will arrange for it right away.”
The Beastman shopkeeper called over a few workers to load leather armour and they followed them back to his place.
Once everything was piled up in the courtyard, Wu Heng checked the quantity and paid the corresponding amount.
The Beastman shopkeeper was all smiles.
It was rare to encounter someone like Wu Heng who pays the full amount on the spot.
“Captain, do you need more leather armor like this?” the shopkeeper continued to ask.
“Can the price be even more preferential?” Wu Heng asked back.
The shopkeeper, standing on the spot, quickly made some calculations in his mind and said, “I’ll give you each set for 32 silver coins, that’s the lowest I can go. Moreover, you have to order more than 200 sets.”
“Alright, let it be 200 sets then. Inform Duke when it’s ready.”
The shopkeeper’s already wide grin widens even further as he laughed and said, “Alright, I’ll arrange for it as soon as I get back.”
“Hmm.”
After chatting for a while, the shopkeeper and his group left, and Duke and Jianyi and Jian’er began moving the armor into the house.
Once everything was moved in, Duke scratched his head, “Captain, where do we go next?”
“Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a meal at the tavern.”
The two had a meal at the tavern.
Wu Heng told Duke to go home, then he headed back to his own place.
…
Returning to his residence.
He opened the boundary door and went straight into the Zombie World.
He instructed the skeletons to come over and move all of the newly purchased leather armor over.
They piled it all up in another room.
Next, he picked out 100 level 5 skeletons and started equipping them with the leather armor.
Big Head had gone with Li Yahong and the others to the prison side.
Doing it himself was a bit troublesome.
The caravan hadn’t come back yet, so he would probably have to wait until tomorrow.
After being busy for a while, he finally got everything sorted out.’
Only then did he open the boundary door and return to his residence.
…
The next day, in the morning.
Wu Heng again went to the Professional Guild.
As he entered the hall, he noticed there seemed to be considerably more people in the guild than a couple of days earlier.
The earlier dispatched squads that had collaborated with the ‘Iron Guard Knights’, were all back now, standing in front of the counter talking about something.
Wu Heng got closer and eavesdropped for a moment.
They were talking about the reward of artifacts.
It seemed that the ‘Hammer Party’ mission was over.
He just didn’t know how it turned out.
Just as Wu Heng was about to turn around and go to the resting room,
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the silhouette of a woman heading deeper into the corridor, under the escort of a few mercenaries.
She had long brown hair and was wearing a suit of leather armor.
A ‘Cheetah’ followed by her side.
