Chapter 623: Chapter 512, Magical Mansion Skill Chapter 623: Chapter 512, Magical Mansion Skill [Level-Up to Level 18, Constitution +2, Intelligence +2, Charm +1.]
[Trait Unlocked: Hero Shaping.]
The sudden notification brought joy to Wu Heng’s heart.

He had finally reached Level 18.

Before he could react, more notifications continued to appear.

[Expertise Unlocked: Grand Necromancer.]
[Ability Unlocked: Independent Soul.]
[Skill Unlocked: Modern Ken Mansion Spell.]
Once the notifications stopped completely,
Wu Heng’s eyes were still wide open.

Not only had he unlocked [Hero Shaping] and two master-level Expertises, but he had also unlocked [Modern Mansion Spell], which he had seen before but was unable to unlock.

These were also unlocked with this level-up.

Was it because his level was not high enough before?

Or was there some other reason?

But being able to unlock them also cleared up the confusion he had before.

After all, he had spent quite a sum to acquire the Mansion Spell, and it would have been quite a loss if the skill couldn’t be unlocked.

Wu Heng glanced at the ongoing battle.

After confirming there were no unexpected dangers, he immediately opened the panel for a quick check.

[Name: Wu Heng]
[Level: 18 (7411/305000)]
[Reputation: Level 18 (7242/48000)]
[Attributes: Strength 41, Agility 31, Constitution 47, Intelligence 50, Perception 29, Charm 32.]
[Trait: Hero Shaping.]
[Expertise: … One-Handed Sword Specialization (Intermediate) …, Staff Mastery (Advanced) …, Tireless Focus, Grand Necromancer.]
[Abilities: Greyhawk Swordsmanship (Intermediate), …, Breath of the Wraith, Divine Presence, Independent Soul.]
[Skills: Bone Manipulation Skill, …, Breath of Death, …, Animate Object, Lightning Binding, Mirrored Skill, Preset Armor, Modern Ken Mansion Spell.]
[Hero Shaping]: Your reputation spreads far and wide, and on the path of execution, you hold significant sway. Often, your attitude will determine the decisions of others (This trait is reflected in Reputation).

[Grand Necromancer]: You possess a high level of mastery in the Necromancy Sect, with spell effects and learning ability both increased by +100%.

[Independent Soul]: Your soul energy has achieved a breakthrough enhancement. The physical body is merely a temporary vessel, and its death will not cause your soul to perish (Upon death, 100% chance to become a ghost form).

[Modern Ken Mansion Spell]: Allows for the construction of a Different Dimension Space. Within casting distance, you can summon the dwelling’s appearance at any time.

…

The attributes on his panel were quite good.

His Intelligence had reached 50, Constitution 47, Strength 41.

One for brainpower, one for physique, both attributes Wu Heng considered quite important.

Now it seemed that Agility, Perception, and Charm were a bit on the low side.

Especially Perception, which had only reached 29.

Previous scouting was always done by his two ghosts, especially after they unlocked ‘Spirit Vision’.

Looking for targets became much more convenient, and he hardly needed to observe and guess by himself.

However, he still needed to find ways to compensate for his own deficiencies in attributes.

To strive to be well-rounded in all attributes.

Continuing to look further down.

The experience required for leveling up had reached three-hundred and five thousand.

A number that looked quite frightening.

But with the current way of clearing Zombies, four or five waves of zombie tides would almost be enough to meet the standard for leveling up.

Beyond that, there was now a [Reputation] level.

With a requirement of forty-eight thousand, it was linked to [Hero Shaping].

It added a restriction to leveling up.

Which was not necessarily a good thing.

…

There were a total of four traits, abilities, and skills unlocked.

The first was [Hero Shaping], which mentioned widespread fame and one’s path of execution.

It was actually an explanation for the Reputation level.

You need to achieve a certain level of fame.

“It’s quite similar to faith,” he thought.

In the Otherworld, it’s said that divine spirits exist and some professions rely on them for power.

Meanwhile, divine spirits need priests to spread the doctrine and gather the faith of the people.

It felt like there were similarities with the mentioned Reputation in Hero Shaping.

The second was [Grand Necromancer], with spell effects and learning ability both increased by +100%.

This was the most direct enhancement.

The description for [Independent Soul] was even easier to understand.

Upon death, you immediately become a ghost form.

It reminded him of the level 18 Prophet and the level 18 Great Fist Master he had killed, who both became ghosts instantly upon death.

It was quite possible that this ability would appear at level 18.

The last was [Modern Ken Mansion Spell], a skill book he had read four or five times and could remember a section of it by heart.

Now with this level-up, he had directly unlocked it.

This was a good thing, proving that the large sum he spent was for a genuine skill book.

Suppressing the urge to test out the skill,
he closed the panel and refocused on the battlefield.

…

The battle was drawing to a close.

When the last zombie was impaled by the skeleton’s long spear and flung aside,
the entire area fell back into silence.

The skeletons began cleaning up the battlefield, dragging the corpses of the mutated zombies and evolved zombies closer.

Piling them into a mountain of bodies.

The Bone Manipulation Skill was cast, and one skeleton after another rose to its feet.

They collected the corpse cores from the shredded flesh, storing them in a space ring.

Then they started to cast [Corpse Battlefield].

A grey-white circle of light spread out, almost covering a third of the battlefield.

Countless skeletons stood up, the sound of their bones rubbing filling the entire area.

Efficiency of transformation was greatly improved.

This was indeed quite satisfying.

It also saved the usual time spent on transformation.

All the skeletons were fully converted.

A large number of skeletons slowly joined the ranks.

Once again filling the entire street.

“Qi Hancai, bring the convoy here,” Wu Heng pressed the walkie-talkie.

“Received!”

The sound of the car engines started up.

The convoy drove directly from behind.

Qi Hancai jumped down from the car and glanced around the shops.

“Have the others scour along the road, collect the important items first, and we’ll come back tomorrow for the rest,” Wu Heng instructed.

“Okay!” Qi Hancai picked up the walkie-talkie and passed on the task.

The accompanying survivors got off the cars, dividing into several small teams.

They began to scour the shops along the way.

This was a commercial street with brand specialty stores on both sides, and the price tags proved they were previously renowned big brands.

Wu Heng walked into a gold shop in the distance, followed by Qi Hancai and several skeleton attendants.

Broken glass everywhere and gold jewelry scattered around.

“Collect all the gold,” Wu Heng said.

The skeletons sprang into action, and Qi Hancai also took out a bag, starting to pick up the gold jewelry from the ground.

After this shop was thoroughly scavenged, they continued to the neighboring shop to proceed with their looting.

Before long, a few skeletons and Qi Hancai returned, each carrying a bag.

“It should be about two hundred and fifty to sixty kilograms, stronger than the gold shop back home,” Qi Hancai said with a smile.

“It’s quite a lot.”

Wu Heng collected all the gold.

He continued to browse around while the other survivors were continuously transporting materials.

When the sky gradually darkened,
Wu Heng arranged for some skeletons to stay behind, and the convoy began to head back to the factory.

The remaining materials
would be meticulously scoured tomorrow by more trucks and survivors.

…

Back at the factory.

The convoy stopped at the warehouse entrance, beginning to unload the scavenged materials.

Wu Heng walked to a secluded place with a few skeletons.

He took out several coffins.

These were bodies that had come from the Snake Badge Consortium yesterday, and they would need to be transformed before returning to Gold and Silver Island.

Wu Heng let the skeletons open the coffins, and he cast Bone Manipulation Skill one by one.

Skeleton after skeleton rose to its feet, walking out of the coffins.

“Throw the coffins aside, then follow me back,” Wu Heng ordered directly.

The skeletons followed Wu Heng as he walked back.

He returned to the dormitory and traveled through the boundary door to the Zombie World.

…

Back on Gold and Silver Island.

A few maids were training in the gym with skeletons.

Wu Heng led several skeletons to their respective posts.

Alchemy Skeletons headed to the alchemy room to continue their research on Level Three Corpse Nucleus Potions.

With 6 Level 15 Skeleton Alchemy Warlocks, it was a significant number; they should be able to develop a level three potion.

Skeleton Mechanists went to the drafting room, making four Level 15 Skeleton Mechanists with the addition of two new ones.

The ironsmith stayed in the Zombie World, chefs were arranged in the kitchen, and gardeners were responsible for the courtyard vegetation.

After everything was ready,
he came back to the courtyard.

He began to experiment with his newly unlocked ‘Mansion Skill.’
He was curious about this skill that required reaching Level 18 to unlock.

He focused and channeled his magic power.

The next second,
a crack tore through the air as if splitting space itself, forming a massive stone door engraved with various patterns, appearing out of nowhere before him.

With a thought, the stone door slowly opened.

Revealing a grand and empty hall within.
