Chapter 291, The Cultivation Jar
It seemed to be the luggage of the half-spider man.
At the time, Wu Heng went to catch the pirate and didn't bother to thoroughly search the items.
After the kill, the scene was taken over by the team.
Now, they had brought everything back to him.
"Thanks, just leave it by the door."
The staff member placed the package aside, saluted, and then left.
Wu Heng got up, walked over, and opened the package, taking everything out.
First, there were two pouches, one large and one small.
The large pouch was filled with silver coins, about eight hundred in total.
The smaller pouch contained exactly twenty gold coins.
It seemed these were the reward for killing him; honestly, it was quite a lot.
Even if Wu Heng was on a wanted list, he wasn't worth that much.
He put the pouches away, then moved on to the half-spider man's clothes and personal items, along with two magical items.
Wu Heng's attention was drawn to the magical items.
The first was a clay jar adorned with various patterns and symbols.
The jar's mouth was open, with a wooden stopper tied by a string hanging to the side.
Inside, it was filled with spider webs, and nothing else.
[Cultivation Jar]
(Description: A magical container used for cultivating venomous spiders, enhancing their reproduction.)
A jar for breeding spiders.
The spiders that were inside were likely released during the battle.
So now, the jar was empty.
Luckily, it was empty; otherwise, those spiders wouldn't have been easily controlled by Wu Heng.
Wu Heng considered the potential use of the cultivation jar.
Although it was a magical item, it seemed to have no practical use.
As a necromancer, there was no point in raising uncontrollable spiders.
"What's this? It's full of spider webs," Minnie picked up a rag, ready to clean it out.
"Just put the lid back on; it's a magical item," Wu Heng said.
"Huh? Oh!" Minnie tossed the rag aside and replaced the stopper on the jar. "What's this jar used for?"
"It's for breeding bugs."
"Ew, that's so gross!" Minnie quickly pulled her hands back.
"We don't need it; just put it aside."
"Okay!"
Minnie picked up the jar and placed it in a corner of the study.
It temporarily served as a decoration.
The second item was an incense burner.
[Slumbering Incense Burner]
(Description: When incense is burned, creatures inhaling it for a certain duration will fall into a state of dizziness, stupor, or sleep, depending on their constitution.)
Another magical incense burner.
Wu Heng already had an incense burner called [Hallucinatory Incense Burner], which caused exhaustion, dizziness, and hallucinations.
The [Slumbering Incense Burner] had effects of dizziness and sleep.
Both items used gases to affect those who inhaled them.
Minnie and Andviel's deep sleep was likely due to the incense burner's effect.
Wu Heng wasn't affected due to his high constitution.
Incense burners were pre-set items,
meant to be placed in a location beforehand, allowing the target to inhale a certain amount to achieve the desired effect.
While called magical, it was more like being poisoned.
Such items were not particularly helpful in sudden battles or direct confrontations.
Thus, even his previous one was rarely used.
After examining both items, Wu Heng stored them in his spatial ring.
He returned to the sofa and chatted casually with the two girls.
In the afternoon, the three of them had lunch in the study.
Wu Heng left the Guild, hired a carriage, and returned to Lighthouse Street.
...…
A coastal shop run by the Elven Tribe.
The mature elf shopkeeper was wiping the shelves with a cloth.
Hearing footsteps, she turned and saw Wu Heng entering.
She immediately smiled, "Good afternoon, Deputy Steward."
Last time at the shop, Sheila Grey had introduced his identity to the shopkeeper.
"Good afternoon," Wu Heng replied as he entered the store. "The wooden bows I ordered should have arrived, right?"
He had heard that the elves' wooden bows were of excellent quality.
So, he had ordered two thousand of them.
After all this time, they should have arrived.
The shopkeeper returned to the counter, checked the records, and said, "They've arrived. Please, follow me; I'll show you."
Wu Heng followed her out of the shop and into a warehouse on the back street.
As the door opened, the smell of wood and resin filled the air.
"These are all yours, a total of two thousand bows!"
Wu Heng picked one up, pulling back the string to test it.
He wasn't very familiar with bow performance, but he had discussed it with Andviel beforehand.
After a brief inspection, he said, "Alright, they look good. Have them delivered to my residence, and I'll settle the balance."
"Sure," the woman smiled, called the workers, and began moving the goods.
Wu Heng and the shopkeeper returned to the store.
After paying the balance, Wu Heng added, "Give me the order form; I'll place another order for two thousand."
The woman's smile grew even brighter, "Certainly, Deputy Steward."
After filling out the new order form,
Wu Heng returned to his residence with the delivery team.
The renovation crew had finished cleaning and were preparing to leave.
"Sir, everything has been taken care of," the foreman said.
Wu Heng nodded, "Collect your payment from Andviel tomorrow."
"Thank you, sir." The foreman and his crew left.
Wu Heng opened the door, and the workers moved all the bows into the courtyard.
...…
After unloading all two thousand wooden bows, half the courtyard was filled.
Wu Heng closed the door and opened the realm gate, summoning a large number of skeletons to start moving the bows.
Once everything was moved, Wu Heng followed and returned to the zombie world.
He appeared in a hotel room.
He opened the window to look outside; the convoy from the auto repair shop hadn't arrived yet.
Below was still a large formation of skeletons.
Wu Heng went out of the hotel and began selecting skeletons from the lineup.
Gradually, he selected two thousand skeletons and brought them to the front of the formation.
"Pick up the bows and quivers!"
Clatter~!
A large group of skeletons moved, bending to grab bows and quivers, then returned to formation.
Now, the number of ranged units had reached a considerable level.
However, there was a shortage of arrows.
He needed to ask Li Yanhong to figure something out.
After setting up the skeletons, Wu Heng reopened the realm gate and returned to Gold-Silver Island.
...…
At dusk, Minnie and Andviel returned from outside.
The two girls were chatting and laughing, looking very happy.
After dinner, they took a bath.
Minnie hugged his arm and said, "Master, since there were bad people last night, let's stay together tonight!"
Wu Heng glanced at Andviel; her beast ears twitched slightly, but she kept her head down, focused on the documents as if she hadn't heard.
"Viel, do you want to stay alone or join us?" Wu Heng asked.
Andviel raised her head slightly, "I'll stay with Master too."
