Chapter 14, Appointment Letter
Five or six zombies rushed into the corridor, pushing and shoving.
But what greeted them was falling kitchen knives.
The ferocious zombie was instantly knocked to the ground and never got up again.
The corridor door was closed again, cutting off the outside world.
Wu Heng walked down from behind the skeletons and began to release the bone-braining technique. The six skeletons stood up.
He found a kitchen knife for the skeleton and looked at the sky. It was already dusk.
Joining the profession and learning skills today take up time during the day.
It's a bit risky to go out and kill zombies again, so let's wait until tomorrow.
Return to Blackstone Town, eat, practice spear, and sleep.
...
the next day.
Wu Heng got up early, and a life without video games made him energetic.
After breakfast, we went directly to the career hall.
There were not many people here this morning.
Wu Heng came to the counter and asked: "Help me take a look. Is the entrustment issued ready?"
"Sir, please show me the entrustment note."
He took out the note and handed it over. The staff started to check according to the number on it. schedule.
"The commission has been completed. You need to pay another 15 silver and 32 copper."
It's finally done.
But the price is also ridiculously high.
15 silver is enough to buy three ordinary iron swords.
But there was no hesitation, and the balance was immediately paid, and the medicine and a test receipt were handed over.
[Special Antidote Potion]
(Description: A potion made for fixed toxins.)
Put away the antidote potion and quickly return to your residence.
Zombie world.
Go to the top of the building, take out the medicine and paper and check it out.
Wu Heng didn't understand the alchemy of this world.
However, there are still many magical aspects to the medicinal effects of alchemical potions. Even in the modern world with advanced technology, it is difficult for medicines produced to achieve immediate effects.
If the modern world hadn't become like this, you would definitely be able to make a lot of money by opening a pharmacy company.
In addition to the potion, there is also a sheet given.
On the paper, the test results of the corpse core and the ingredients for dispensing the medicine were written.
These were all requests put forward by Wu Heng in the commission.
During the test, neurotoxins, corpse toxins and other toxic substances were mentioned. As for the use of the corpse core, it was suggested that it be an alchemical material, and there was no mention of direct consumption.
The ingredients for antidote potions have complicated names, and they are not even recognizable.
After a brief glance, he put it away directly.
Take out the remaining 'corpse core' and put the antidote aside.
This corpse core has been in my hand for a few days. Fortunately, it doesn't smell bad.
Otherwise, your money will be wasted.
After disinfecting it with white wine, he raised his head and swallowed it without hesitation.
At first I didn't feel anything.
[Physique +2, Strength +1, Agility +2.]
The system prompt appears instantly.
Before Wu Heng could be happy, a burning sensation spread from his abdomen to his whole body.
Purple blood vessels began to appear on the arms and neck, and at the same time the burning sensation turned into a heartbreaking sting.
"Grass! It's really poisonous."
Bo!
Open the antidote and pour it directly into your belly in one breath.
After drinking the medicinal liquid, the pain eased, and the purple blood vessels spreading on the body began to disappear little by little.
Finally disappeared.
About five or six minutes later, Wu Heng was lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
Huh~!
"Thankfully, I customized the antidote, otherwise I might have killed myself."
When the pain completely disappeared and his mind cleared, unconcealable joy arose in his heart.
Five attributes added.
In terms of upgrading, it is an upgrade of two and a half levels.
[Attributes: Strength 10, Agility 13, Physique 15, Intelligence 16, Perception 10, Charisma 13.]
Although the attribute points are added to Physique, Strength and Agility, the attributes can be directly reflected in the physical state. Any high level is beneficial.
And not only intelligence is useful to mages.
I was happy for a while and calmed down a little.
Take out the potion formula and check it again.
"Isn't it true that as long as I continue to absorb the corpse core, I can still improve my attributes..."
If this conjecture is correct, then my attributes will be improved without limit.
Even if the attribute increase brought by upgrading is not high, the attributes can still be improved through corpse cores.
The two can complement each other.
After resting for a while, I felt that there was no strange feeling in my body.
Continue to get up and direct the skeleton to start today's leveling operation.
One night passed, and after cleaning up the downstairs, there were three more zombies wandering around. They ran in from no one knows where.
Opening the stair door, he directly ordered, "Attack."
The next second, a group of skeletons like a long dragon poured out of the corridor.
Pounce on the zombies outside.
The zombies were knocked to the ground by the crowded group of skeletons. Before they could raise their heads, countless kitchen knives and hammers fell down, smashing them into a puddle of mud.
The movement here also attracted the attention of the zombies nearby.
He rushed over from the open corridor and from behind the building.
"Attack!" Wu Heng also walked out of the corridor and ordered loudly.
The skeleton warriors all raised their kitchen knives and rushed towards the zombies.
There were roars and chopping sounds in one continuous sound. Bang bang bang~ clatter! !
The glass of the building in front was shattered one after another, and zombies fell from the broken windows upstairs.
The taller ones were smashed into pieces, while the shorter ones were crawling forward with broken lower limbs.
"So many?"
Zombies rushed out from various places and rushed towards the skeleton camp.
Although it was still within the range of the skeletons, the number was much higher than what he had estimated from the rooftop.
Skeleton dogs would jump out of the skeleton camp from time to time, knocking down one or two zombies, biting their necks and shaking their heads crazily.
When the zombies surrounded them, they immediately jumped back behind the skeleton, not forgetting to swing their waists at the skeleton twice.
The meaning of ridicule and provocation is very strong.
Wu Heng stood behind the skeleton, observing the scene while releasing the bone-braining technique.
to replenish the number of lost skeletons.
There were fewer and fewer, and in the end there were only a few scattered ones left, as well as the zombies who had jumped off the building and broken their legs, still insisting on crawling this way.
"Go and kill those paralyzed ones." Wu Heng ordered to the skeleton dogs.
The skeleton dog swung its tail, jumped out of the group of skeletons, and killed the zombies crawling on the ground one by one.
Soon, there were thirty or forty zombie corpses piled downstairs.
Let the skeletons collect all the corpses and pile them into a hill.
Wu Heng began to release the Bone Slave Technique.
Summon a few and rest for a while to avoid excessive mental exhaustion.
He didn't want to feel that brain-churning feeling again.
Gradually the sky darkened again.
After looking at the remaining corpses that had not been transformed, I gave up the idea of transforming them overnight.
Can't float, just survive and develop.
...
Returning to Blackstone Town, Wu Heng had dinner at the tavern.
On the way, I also listened to some information discussed by the drinkers.
Which brothels are offering discounts? The blacksmith shop has increased its prices due to insufficient ore.
This is the most effective way for him to understand the world.
Asking others sometimes will attract attention, and listening to others bragging can also get a lot of useful information.
After eating and drinking, we started walking towards our residence.
I feel quite satisfied.
"It's lucky!"
Good things happened one after another in the past two days, and it felt like my luck had exploded.
Everything is going smoothly and the future is promising.
"You must survive, improve your attributes, and increase the number of skeletons." Wu Heng emphasized.
He walked quickly towards his residence.
However, as soon as he turned into the alley where he lived, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Quickly retreat out of the alley and open the holster.
There were three figures standing at the door of his house.
There was a man and a woman, and one was covered in a black cloak. It was not clear whether he was a man or a woman.
A wanted criminal has come for revenge? It's not dark yet!
Wu Heng's eyes were alert.
The three people in the alley also noticed the movement, and one of them said: "Wu Heng?"
"Guys, what can I do?"
"The appointment letter from this department has been issued. The deacon asked me to send it to you, and you This skeleton."
As he spoke, one of them pulled down the hood of the figure behind him, revealing a skeleton warrior with soul fire burning in his eyes.
A slight mark on the mandible proved to be the wanted criminal that Wu Heng killed.
"Sorry, please come in." Wu Heng apologized and stepped forward to open the door and invite the two of them into the room.
In addition to his own skeleton, a total of two people came.
One male and one female.
The man was probably in his forties, with brown hair pulled back, a serious and resolute face, wearing silver armor, and a long sword hanging on his waist.
The right chest of the silver armor bears the emblem of the Professionals Association.
The other person is a young woman with long blond hair, three-dimensional and exquisite facial features, a tall figure, brown leather armor on the upper body, slim leather trousers on the lower body, and slender and straight legs.
It gives people a feeling of being smart and capable.
As soon as he entered the room, a pair of eyes kept looking around.
"Please sit down." Wu Heng motioned for the two of them to sit down, unscrewing a bottle of iced black tea and pouring a cup for each of them.
After he also sat down, the man took out something.
They placed them one by one on the wooden table and said, "My name is Altluk, captain of the fourth team stationed in Blackstone Town. This is member 'Kawina'."
The woman nodded.
"Well, good afternoon, both of you."
The middle-aged captain put the items in his hands on the table one by one and said: "This is the appointment letter and the armor issued by the association. Keep it carefully. The armor is just a welfare reward. , it’s not mandatory to wear it.”
There are also armor rewards, which is really good.
The other party continued: "According to the allocation of the Blackstone Town Professionals Association, you will be a member of the fourth team from now on."
Wu Heng understood why these two people came.
It turns out that teams have been divided.
"Okay, are there only three people in our team?" Wu Heng asked curiously.
"The professional team consists of between three and five people. Our team is a new one. Currently there are only three of us." The
professional team is mainly responsible for professional rescue and assisting local guards.
There won't be as many people as a patrol.
If there are too many people, it will cause local resistance.
The captain continued: "We have a mission tomorrow. We will set off early in the morning and gather at the West Gate. Don't be late."
Wu Heng was stunned, "So fast?"
Thanks to 'Angels' Trail' for the 500 reward .
