Chapter 266: 223, Let Me Be Your Maid (Didn't Make It, Only One Update Today.)_2
“Hmm!” Wu Heng nodded.
If it could be used at the bus station, then it should have no problem in Lundham City.
Li Yahong continued: “Yesterday, people from the Flame God Shelter inquired about the conditions in our factory district. I told them we could exchange solar panels and food for resources. The exact exchange rate isn’t set yet, you need to determine that.”
After all, all these things were obtained by Wu Heng.
And, he needs gold and silver too. How to exchange would depend on his pricing.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and asked, “What are your thoughts?”
“Armored cars and weapons can be used to exchange more solar panels and food to encourage them to exchange. Gold and silver actually aren’t very useful at the moment and are not as valuable as food, so we can exchange less food for them.” Li Yahong suggested.
“The prices for gold and silver cannot be too absurd. I can secure a sufficient amount of food. Exchange is a method, it can also help everyone to overcome hard times, if it’s too harsh, it’s not good.” Wu Heng considered before saying.
Li Yahong was afraid that the food she painstakingly gathered would all be exchanged away.
By that time, everyone would starve together.
But Wu Heng’s thought was the opposite, food in the alternate world was abundant. Even without using the gathered food, it could still fulfill the exchange for other items.
There was no need to make the exchange terms too stringent, if everyone starves to death, there would be fewer people to help gather items.
“Honestly, compared to Ma Zhiyong, you’re more suited to being the chief commander.”
“Who?”
“The leader of Flame God Shelter, Ma Zhiyong.”
“Oh, we are not destined to be leaders.”
The two walked over to a stone table on the side and started discussing the exchange ratio.
After some adjustments, a preliminary price list was generated.
A bag of normal 100 jin food can be exchanged for 20 grams of gold, 200 grams of silver.
The solar panels are divided into three sizes, small, medium, and large; costing 50 grams, 80 grams, and 120 grams of gold, respectively.
And an armored car can be exchanged for 500 solar panels, 5000 jin of food.
A gold ring, gold necklace also weigh a few grams, one can simply kill some zombies or gather items from an area.
As long as one is not expecting to get something for nothing, they could exchange for food.
As for silver, it’s not so valuable, scrunging a few hundred grams is not easy, they could be exchanged for some small items when the time comes.
After setting the prices, Li Yahong listed them all over again.
Confirming there were no issues, she took a picture with her phone to prevent loss.
After settling the pricing issue, Li Yahong gestured to the distance.
Wang Chenggang, leading more than a dozen skeletons, came over, “Boss, these skeletons have all learned how to install solar panels.”
Wu Heng glanced at the properties of the skeletons.
Added to their specialties was[Mechanical Expertise (Beginner)].
It appeared that they had indeed learned it.
“Hmm, good job.”
“My pleasure.” Wang Chenggang humbly replied.
Then, Wu Heng picked out more than 20 skeletons from the skeleton army, and continued, “These skeletons will continue to follow you. Not only should you teach them to assemble solar panels, also teach them some knowledge about other electrical appliances.”
Wang Chenggang, who had thought that he had completed his task, had a stiff smile on but still agreed, “Okay, sure.”
…
Wang Chenggang left.
He continued to help others carry solar panels from the warehouse.
Li Yahong said, “These are to be sent directly to the prison. That will also solve the electricity problem.”
“Not staying a night and going tomorrow?”
Li Yahong’s face turned red, “I’ll come back in a few days and accompany you then.”
“Hmm, no rush actually.” said Wu Heng.
“The faster we progress, the better. Didn’t you say that zombies are also becoming stronger? It’s safer if we get busier now,” Li Yahong furthered.
“I’m here, don’t worry.”
“I also want to help lessen your burden.”
The two chatted for a while.
After the convoy finished loading the solar panels, Li Yahong went to join them as they waved to their side.
After bidding Wu Heng goodbye, the convoy left the factory area and headed towards the prison.
…
Wu Heng looked at the skeletons in front of him that had learned to install solar panels.
He directly instructed, “Select all the solar panels and components that need to be assembled. I need you to install them on the roof.”
The few skeletons got into action, entering the warehouse to select the solar panels and accompanying equipment.
Carrying them on their shoulders or under their armpits, they walked right out.
Wu Heng had the skeletons choose some electronic devices from the office area and directly removed them.
He opened the boundary door and walked straight in.
Returning to his residence, it was still bright outside.
Wu Heng walked out of the building with the skeletons, looked at the roof from the courtyard and said, “I need you to install solar panels on the roof to provide power for the indoor air conditioner and electric lights.”
…
Upon hearing his command, the skeletons immediately started moving.
They found a ladder, carried solar panels straight up to the roof and began the installation.
They started installing them.
More than a dozen skeletons began working together, it was quite a busy scene.
This residential area, after the Hammer Party incident, was basically uninhabited.
Especially knowing that Wu Heng was a Necromancer, and that there were carrions and skeletons guarding the surroundings, people were even rarer to see.
Even if the skeletons’ actions were seen by someone, it really wouldn’t matter.
If something was installed on the roof, it wouldn’t necessarily raise people’s attention.
Watching the skeletons work, he couldn’t offer much help himself.
After giving instructions to the skeletons handling the installation, he left the place, put on his helmet and headed towards the Outer City Area.
…
ALC Grocery Shop.
Entering the back door, two fox people with beast ears and tails stopped him.
“Sorry, sir, this is the store’s backyard, please go to the lobby for shopping,” one of them said.
They were wearing leather armor, a dagger hung around their waist.
Their language was polite, but their hands also reached for the weapons at their waist.
Wu Heng took off his helmet and said, “This is my shop. Andre Willow should have mentioned me to you.”
The two fox people were stunned, staring at his hair and eyes carefully to recognize him.
They immediately saluted, “Mr. Wu Heng, we will notify the Junior Clan Leader immediately.”
“No need, just call Mini over.” Wu Heng walked directly into the backyard.
One of them nodded and headed towards the lobby.
In the yard, there were still many members of the fox people clan.
There were both males and females, with the females predominating.
After all, they were all fairly young, bought from slave traders.
The hair color of the fox people in front of him was mainly brown and gray. Pure white fur like Andre Willow’s was quite rare.
When Wu Heng walked in, everyone looked at him curiously.
But after seeing his hair color, they all got up and bowed slightly.
Wu Heng also nodded in reply.
Soon, Mini ran over from the lobby.
Upon seeing Wu Heng, she immediately showed a smile, “Master came to see me!”
Wu Heng nodded and said, “Yes, come with me for a bit. We need to purchase some things.”
“Oh, okay,” Mini continued, “If Master is not in a hurry, I’d like to introduce you to my friends.”
“Friends?”
“Wait a moment, Master.”
Mini quickly ran back, and when she returned, she was leading two figures, one tall and one short.
To the left was a petite girl with black cat ears and tail, dressed in beige clothes, and to the right was a bunny girl, about one and a half meters tall, with white drooping ears.
“Master, these are my two friends, let them be your maids!” Mini said directly.
The faces of the two beast-girls instantly turned red.
They whispered, “Master!”
Wu Heng glared at Mini, this girl was definitely doing this on purpose.
He glanced at the two bashful girls and said, “There are no empty rooms in our residence for now, you two follow Mini and help out here. When there’s a chance, I’ll bring you over.”
“Thank you, Master.” The two girls immediately thanked him when they heard the good news.
“See, I have already discussed it with the Master, it’s just that there’s nowhere to live at the moment.” Mini added quickly.
Wu Heng gave her a stern look, “Stop messing around, come with me.”
“Oh, okay!” Mini hopped over and looped her arm through Wu Heng’s as they headed out.
They left the yard.
“Master, what do we need to buy?” Mini asked.
“Do you know a grain shop? Where would you usually go to buy food, a shop with higher quality.” Wu Heng asked.
“Oh, I know, let’s go this way.”
