Chapter 1235: Chapter 924: The Bustling Island

The man dressed in a luxurious robe held the woman’s waist and whispered, “I heard that the nights here are brighter than the days.”

“Yes, I wonder if we’ll get a chance to meet that Hero Island Master,” the woman said coquettishly.

“Don’t block the way!”

A voice urged from behind, and the two of them stepped aside.

A second person disembarked from the ship, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, his embroidered robe fluttering in the wind, followed by an attendant with a cloak, visible leather armor, and a short sword at his waist.

More people gradually set foot on the island, some accompanied by female companions, others with attendants.

Next, a second ship docked, carrying sturdy, thick-bearded short people, also dressed in opulence, stepping onto the island step by step.

For most, it was their first time on the island, and their eyes were full of curiosity as they looked at the port and the street ahead.

On the island side, a large gathering of island residents had formed, dressed much better than you’d expect for a Pirate Island.

Moreover, some teenagers were quite fond of striped jackets and bowler hats.

Pairs of eyes scrutinized them.

The streets were clean and tidy, with white metal poles on the roadside hanging the flags of the association and Gold and Silver Island.

At the front was a red arch of unknown material, seemingly inflated with gas.

Above it was written, “Welcome to Gold and Silver Island.”

Behind the arch stood an array of orderly buildings, a mix of stone houses and wooden pavilions, bustling and lively.

To say there was something special, there wasn’t anything too peculiar.

But the whole island gave a very neat and comfortable feeling.

Even the streets of various royal capitals couldn’t be this clean.

Everyone waited at the port for a while, and the local consortium leader ‘Rostand’ hurried over with a crowd from a short distance.

Rostand wore a professional smile, “Welcome to Gold and Silver Island, I am the local consortium leader ‘Rostand’. The auction will be held at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow in the Gem Flower Opera House of the Central District. Feel free to explore the island on your own. If you’re tired or want to dine, we’ve prepared dinner for you at the entertainment center.”

Entertainment center? I’ve never heard of such a place.

Carriages stopped by the roadside, and after a long journey, no one planned to continue exploring.

Everyone boarded the carriages and headed to the entertainment center.

…

As they drew closer to the entertainment center, the silhouette of a grand building gradually came into view.

A castle-like structure, with exquisite carvings and gold embellishments everywhere, gave the impression of approaching a palace.

And it was an exceptionally luxurious palace.

At the main gate of the castle, glowing signboards with the words “Radiance Paradise” adorned the walls.

Inside, the floor was a shiny marble, with multicolored patterns forming a splendid design. Ahead was a fountain feature, whose main piece was a beautiful statue depicting a female wood elf holding a harp.

Further ahead, there were two rows of women of various races, tall, beautiful, and full of vitality.

They all cheerfully chimed in unison, “Welcome….”

Sssss~!

The incoming people gasped one after another.

Eyes widened, they looked at the luxurious venue and the two rows of polite and beautiful women.

“Just like a palace.”

“I thought this was the leader’s mansion.”

A noblewoman in a silk gown also widened her eyes, “By the Divine Spirits, isn’t this more luxurious than a palace!”

“Will it be very expensive….”

Even wealthy merchants and nobles showed a visible hesitation, worried they might not afford to spend here.

After all, not even a palace had such an opulent atmosphere.

Step step step~!

Retili, in a fiery red gown, walked out, tall and imposing with the aura of a strong woman, smiling as she approached the crowd and said, “Everyone, the consortium has booked the fourth-floor restaurant today. You can follow me upstairs, and after dinner, you can check out the entertainment projects here. All prices are clearly marked and recorded by the city hall, so there’s no random pricing. You can also stroll around the streets; Gold and Silver Island is known as the Pearl of the Emerald Sea, bright and lively even at night.”

The consortium had reserved the restaurant, so everyone followed upstairs.

Their eyes continued to scan the decor of each floor, growing more astonished.

As night fell.

The streetlights of the entire island and shop lights lit up one by one, and after dinner, everyone stood on the rooftop overlooking the bright little island.

…

Zombie World.

Late at night, Wu Heng returned to the South Korea Base by plane.

As the plane landed smoothly and he disembarked, he saw Qi Hancai standing some distance away with her skeleton attendant, waiting for him.

Wu Heng walked over, putting an arm around her shoulders, saying, “It’s so cold, why are you still outside?”

“I’m dressed warmly, not cold at all.” Qi Hancai walked with him towards the dormitory building, asking, “Did something go wrong over there?”

“No, I came back as soon as the matter was resolved,” Wu Heng said directly.

“So fast?” Qi Hancai was stunned; this was faster than the last cleanup of the Mexico Base.

“It’s just ordinary ghosts; most of the time was spent on the journey,” Wu Heng explained.

Qi Hancai didn’t say much more and returned to the dormitory with him.

After taking a bath.

The two lay in bed.

Wu Heng continued, “They spent such a high price this time for a research blueprint.”

Qi Hancai, lying on her stomach looking at a tablet, looked up, “What blueprint?”

“A type of bomb, involving infrasonic wave technology,” Wu Heng continued, “I brought back the electronic version of the blueprint, planning to have someone research it.”
