Soon, the battle was over.

The frigate was surrounded by floating corpses.

The rope ladder on the side of the ship was thrown down, and the merchant ship captain, dressed in ragged clothes, climbed up.

He carefully scanned the surrounding skeletons, and when he saw a few people in the middle of the deck, he immediately quickened his pace and walked up.

He bowed and thanked them, "Thank you for the rescue, sirs."

Philippa looked at his disheveled appearance and asked, "Which caravan are you from?"

"From the Les Mie Chamber of Commerce."

"To Treasure Island?" Philippa went on.

"Yes, our destination this time is Treasure Island," the captain continued.

Philippa went on to say, "The ones chasing you are the Storm Pirates. They weren't originally in the Emerald Sea, but they were attracted here because there have been more merchant ships recently. We have been trying to catch them all the way. You are just unlucky to have been targeted in advance."

The captain also said: "Luckily we met a few adults who rescued us. After returning, I will immediately report to the Chamber of Commerce and send a letter of thanks to the Island Master's Mansion."

Philippa smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder. "You have a bright future. Don't forget to write a letter to the association. These people are all members of the association."

"understand."

"Let's go back, make some simple repairs, and then continue to Treasure Island. The rest of the way is safe. We just came from there." Philippa said.

"Thank you, Captain, and thank you to the leaders of the association." After thanking them again, the man climbed down the rope ladder.

After the merchant ship below carried out emergency repairs, it waved goodbye and gradually sailed away.

Philippa continued to give orders, "It's our turn now. Salvage all the treasures, cargo, and bodies from the sunken ship."

Wow~!

The skeletons jumped into the sea and began to salvage valuable items from the sea.

……

Treasure Island, the island owner’s mansion.

After confirming that Philippa had destroyed the pirate ship, Wu Heng opened the door and left the room.

The frigate does not carry many weapons, but in this world, it is still an absolute advantage.

There won't be any problems.

"Master, is Philippa okay?" Minnie saw him coming downstairs and came over to ask.

"It's okay, just an ordinary sea patrol, there's no danger." Wu Heng said.

"That's good."

Wu Heng casually took the coat off the hanger at the door and put it on, "Minnie, I'm going out for a while."

"Will you come back for dinner at night?"

"Come back and prepare as normal."

"Okay, master."

Wu Heng put on his coat, changed his face with a shape-shifting veil, and walked straight out of the island owner's mansion.

Walk towards the area where the factory is built.

Wu Heng set up a total of three factories on Treasure Island.

The first one is a garment factory, which mainly undertakes two businesses.

One is the production of regular clothing, that is, clothes sold to ordinary residents for daily wear.

The second business is the production of stab-proof clothing, which still uses the method developed by Qiangzi, where iron plates are clamped in the clothes to create a protective effect for the upper body.

The advantage of this method is its high production efficiency. The iron plates are delivered according to size, and more than 200 pieces can be completed in a day.

Gradually arming the skeleton warriors in the zombie world.

Wu Heng arrived at the factory.

In the dim factory, a large number of skeletons are operating sewing machines to make clothes.

There was a series of crackling sounds.

Wu Heng looked around the factory, walked out of the garment factory again, and continued to the next factory.

The second one is a pen factory.

When we entered the factory, the machinery had been installed and was running.

By then, pens can also be produced normally.

Moreover, the remaining materials in the original pen factory are enough to produce for a while until the newly ordered materials are delivered.

The last stop was the watch factory.

The machines were still being assembled, and the skeletons in electrician uniforms were also connecting the wires.

"When will it be completed?" Wu Heng asked a skeleton machinist.

The Skeleton Mechanic turned his head and extended three bony fingers.

"Three days?" Wu Heng asked.

The artificer nodded.

"Okay, don't worry. Be careful when assembling it and don't break it." Wu Heng instructed.

The artificer nodded again.

……

Inside a mansion.

At the wooden table sat a mechanic who was carefully assembling a watch.

On the table, there were watch parts of various styles that had been disassembled and could not be reassembled, as well as several watch dials that had stopped timing.

On the sofa behind him, several accompanying chamber of commerce representatives were drinking tea while waiting for the results.

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

Hurried footsteps were heard from outside.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and a servant hurried in.

Someone glared at the other person and lowered his voice to admonish: "Can't you see that we are assembling watches here? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The attendant glanced at the serious mechanic and whispered, "Sir, the watch sales office has changed the after-sales rules."

Everyone in the room frowned.

Changed the rules?

It was just released in the morning and it was changed in the afternoon?

"What changed?"

The attendant said, "They just added a clause, saying that watches damaged by human hands are not covered by the warranty."

The moment these words were spoken, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

A bad feeling rises from my heart.

“What is sabotage?”

The attendant replied, "According to their explanation, intentionally opening the inside of a watch to disassemble and damage it is considered vandalism."

Grass~!

Several people looked at the watches that were spread all over the table and had been disassembled beyond recognition.

Cold sweat broke out.

It’s over. This time the loss is huge.

……

Wu Heng returned to the island owner's mansion after dinner.

Reading the latest edition of the newspaper in the study

According to the schedule, tomorrow is the day when the new issue of the newspaper will go on sale, and printing in large quantities has already begun.

"We're going to the zombie world tomorrow, so newspapers can be sold as usual." Wu Heng put the newspaper back on the table.

Now the sale of newspapers has become a common thing in Treasure Island.

You don't have to pay attention to it like you did in the beginning.

Just follow the normal sales process.

Glenda said, "There are at least ten issues of Great Detective Stories in stock. I'm not worried."

"We have written so much. Can we print out the stories in separate volumes in advance and then release them simultaneously as each story is finished?" Wu Heng said.

"No problem. It depends on how you arrange it. It would be best to design a separate cover for each volume to give people a sense of freshness." Glenda suggested.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let Shannara help me design it when we have time. Let's make the cover first and make a few more."

Glenda smiled and nodded.

Dong dong dong~!

While the man and the soul were talking, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a skeleton alchemist with six arms standing at the door.

He was holding a tray with three bottles of medicine on it.

[Powerful strengthening potion] [Powerful intelligence-enhancing potion].

Two bottles of powerful strengthening potion and one bottle of intelligence-enhancing potion.

The third-level corpse core potion has been produced again, and this time there is also an intelligence-enhancing potion.

Wu Heng was immediately delighted.

He took the potion and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and continue making potions. Hurry up."

The alchemical skeleton saluted slightly and turned to leave.

Wu Heng closed the door again.

"Alchemical Skeleton?" asked Granda.

"Yes, new corpse core potion has been delivered." Wu Heng placed the potion on the table.

Glinda floated over to take a look and said with emotion: "Now I know why you necromancers are so hated."

"How to say?"

"Once you are allowed to develop, it will be difficult to restrain you." Grenda floated to the other side and continued, "You are a profession, but now relying on the transformed skeletons, you can complete the work of all professions. It's like a king who is not afraid of betrayal by his subjects."

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Do you think this is good?"

"From my point of view, of course it's good. The more powerful you are, the better it will be for Xiaoxiao and me. If someone who is against you knew about your current development, I'm afraid they would lose sleep." Granda floated back to the desk.

"If I were the king, you would be a concubine at least."

Glynda rolled her eyes at him. "Molesting a woman whose husband just died. The Necromancer is indeed the epitome of evil."

Wu Heng glanced at her and saw that there was no change after she mentioned her husband's death.

Said: "I will take the medicine first, and then I will race with you later."

Glenda nodded, picked up her pen and continued to rewrite the story.

……

Wu Heng glanced at the three bottles of medicine beside him.

He chose the [Powerful Intelligence Enhancement Potion] and held it in his hand.

Take a deep breath, open the bottle, and drink it directly.

The side effects appeared instantly, including dizziness, tinnitus, and spinning of the head.

Wu Heng gritted his teeth and persisted, holding tightly onto the armrest of the chair next to him.

After persisting for a while.

The system prompt also appears immediately.

[Intelligence +2, Perception +4, Charm +2.]
