Chapter 1246: Chapter 928, Database Confirmation_2

“Don’t argue, I like both of them.” Xiao Xiao tried to mediate between the two.

Lilith glanced at him with a slightly annoyed expression, saying, “Doesn’t mine look good?”

“It does, but I have Xiao Xiao’s photo. It resembles him more.” Wu Heng casually sipped his tea.

Lilith set aside the controller, smoothed the hem of her dress, stood up, walked over to sit opposite him, and gracefully picked up her tea cup for a sip.

Xiao Xiao glanced at the two and said, “You guys chat first. I’ll go check on my new dolls.”

“Go ahead!” Lilith nodded.

Xiao Xiao detached himself from his body and flew toward the Island Lord’s Mansion in ghost form.

Only Wu Heng and Lilith were left in the living room drinking tea.

Lilith cleared her throat lightly, using the hem of her skirt to cover her feet, and asked, “The auction and the entertainment center went pretty well this time. You do have some business acumen.”

“Just earning some pocket money while tackling the island’s employment issues.” Wu Heng replied.

Lilith set down her tea cup, remarking, “The population of Gold and Silver Island is still far too small. If it were in any country with more extensive mainland territories, this number could be maintained all year round.”

Gold and Silver Island is a small island on the Emerald Sea, with naturally limited population. On top of that, the pirate battle last time claimed many lives.

The main source of consumption comes from external tourists visiting the island.

However, it takes 3 to 7 days to travel by ship, and ships don’t come on a regular schedule. There are many limitations.

If it were on the mainland, the results would definitely be multiples of what they are now, or even more.

With a daily influx of crowds, the income source would genuinely require no effort to worry over anymore.

Back when Lundham City established streetlights and the Money Cat system, the revenue increased severalfold, let alone constructing something like an entertainment center now!

“I also plan to establish entertainment centers in Netalee City and a few other inland cities.” Wu Heng continued, “Leader, are you interested? I can build an entertainment center for the Blood Clan. I’ll provide all the technology and entertainment facilities, and we split the profits fifty-fifty.”

For once, Lilith did not immediately decline. Her eyes revealed a thoughtful expression as she asked, “How would it work?”

Wu Heng explained, “It’s actually not difficult. Step one: build a power plant in the city first, then construct the entertainment center. If the buildings are already in place, it’ll be even quicker. I’ll take care of the equipment and operating model. You’ll handle security and part of the venue arrangements.”

Lilith raised an eyebrow slightly, saying, “I’ll think about it. This plan seems more practical than the previous ones.”

What kind of remark is that…

“Alright, let me know once you’ve made up your mind.” Wu Heng asked further, “Leader, about the database matter I mentioned last time, have you given it more thought?”

Lilith shook her head, replying, “The intelligence from the Secret Speaker can’t be handed over to you. There’s too much sensitive information involved; even if I were to give it to you, it might not necessarily be a good thing.”

Wu Heng was somewhat disappointed. After waiting for so long, she still wouldn’t agree.

Lilith observed his expression and added, “But ‘Claudio’ sent me a message these past two days. The Hongwen Alliance can provide you with certain materials, including the poetry and formulas you need.”

Claudio is the name of the Hongwen Alliance’s leader.

Actually, that’s not too bad. Wu Heng’s primary goal was to acquire those materials; he wasn’t particularly interested in Lilith’s secret intel anyway.

“How should I go about obtaining those materials?” Wu Heng asked further.

Lilith responded, “Simply write him a letter. He’ll arrange for people to organize the materials and mail them to you.”

“Alright.” Wu Heng nodded in agreement.

The subsequent conversation revolved around questions Lilith had about constructing the new entertainment centers, and Wu Heng explained them in detail.

If they could really establish an entertainment center within the Blood Clan’s territory, that would be an excellent development.

It would draw him closer to the Blood Clan and boost his revenue as well.

At that moment, footsteps sounded.

Xiao Xiao returned with his new doll, hopping in excitedly and boasting, “Does it look good?”

Lilith’s previously indifferent face broke into a smile, “It looks great, not much different from the one I customized.”

Xiao Xiao beamed and said, “This is my favorite doll made by Sister. My very first one!”

Lilith glanced at Wu Heng briefly as if to say, “See, the kid likes what I make.”

Wu Heng stood up, saying, “You all have fun. I’m heading back.”

“Uncle, take my doll with you.” Xiao Xiao pointed to the doll on the sofa.

Wu Heng stored the doll into his Space Ring, “Head home early. You’re treating this place like it’s your own house.”

“Got it. I’ll head back tonight.” Xiao Xiao replied.

Wu Heng nodded, bid Lilith farewell, and activated [Teleportation Technique] to leave.

…

Nighttime, study room.

Wu Heng was reading a tablet when footsteps echoed from downstairs.

Soon, Lady Glenda and Bella walked in one after the other. Seeing Wu Heng in the study, they curiously asked, “We thought you’d gone to sleep!”

Today, Shanela and the others had gone to the entertainment center, and Lady Glenda and Bella had also operated dolls to accompany them.

Although they had visited in ghost form before, having physical bodies made the experience different.

“How was it?” Wu Heng put away the tablet and asked.

Lady Glenda operated her doll, sat down nearby, detached herself in ghost form, and said, “Not bad. Bella and I played some arcade games inside. Mini and the others went upstairs for baths and massages.”

Bella added, “When Xiao Xiao comes back, he can teach us how to play. Lady Glenda and I couldn’t even beat those old men.”

“Xiao Xiao’s become the best at it in this family.” Wu Heng chuckled.

It was apparent from their expressions that the two ghosts were in high spirits.

“True.” Bella didn’t detach her ghost form but continued controlling her doll, sitting nearby and using her fingers to scroll through a tablet.

Wu Heng turned his gaze toward Lady Glenda and said, “The Deceit Puppet Master mentioned in his letter that if we want to keep collaborating, have him make three more dolls. You can write a reply later.”

The two ghosts looked over. Lady Glenda asked, “Should we adjust the appearances? I’d like mine to look a bit younger.”

Wu Heng replied, “You look great as you are now.”

“I looked even better when I was younger.” Lady Glenda said with confidence in her tone.

“That works. Bella, what about you?”

Bella thought for a moment and then said, “I’d want mine to be a bit prettier.”

Wu Heng said, “Alright. Lady Glenda, draft your letter tonight. Tomorrow morning, when Xiao Xiao comes back, we’ll adjust the models, and then we can provide photos for the Puppet Master to create them.”

“Sounds good!” Lady Glenda nodded and continued, “Is his condition still for us to place an ad in the paper?”

“An ad. But you can directly write in the letter inviting him to come to Gold and Silver Island. We can offer him accommodations here.” Wu Heng suggested.

The two ghosts’ eyes lit up, “Great idea! Let’s see if he agrees.”

Wu Heng continued, “There’s another letter to write to Hongwen Alliance head ‘Claudio.’ Just express gratitude for his help and trust, and ask him to ship the organized materials to Gold and Silver Island.”

Following that, Wu Heng detailed the database project to Lady Glenda.

She listened attentively and expressed understanding afterward.

As the night deepened, Xiao Xiao returned from outside; his doll seemed to still be at Lilith’s place.

“Uncle, I’m back.”

“Alright. We’re considering customizing a second batch of dolls. What kind do you want?” Wu Heng asked.

“Can I have one with a steel body? I want to be Iron Man…!”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, saying, “We’ll have your Aunt write a letter to ask if that’s possible.”

“Awesome!” Xiao Xiao cheered.

Wu Heng chatted with the three ghosts for a while, then got up and said, “I’m going to rest.”

“Goodnight.”

…

Early next morning.

Using [Mansion Skill], Wu Heng crafted new appearance models for the three ghosts. Xiao Xiao opted for a metallic body, Lady Glenda wanted to look younger–around her early 20s–while Bella chose to appear more mature, with a fuller figure.

After finalizing the models, they took photos and placed them in an envelope along with the letter to the Hongwen Alliance leader. Both letters were then sent to the association.

The mail could be dispatched today.

At 10 o’clock, someone knocked on the door. Mini’s voice rang out, “Master, Sister Shanela has brought the Priestess from the church.”

“I’ll head down now.” Wu Heng replied, opening a panel to glance at the screen.

[Faith: 27/50000.]

His eyebrows raised slightly as he noted the increase in faith.
