The Short man sat across from him and asked directly, “Miss Andre Willow mentioned you have a need for magic arrows. May I know what type of arrows you require?”

“It's not exactly arrows. Take a look.” Wu Heng took out several electromagnetic cannon shells and lined them up on the table.

The Short man frowned in confusion. “What are these?”

Wu Heng explained, “I need magic inscriptions on these to increase their power on impact.”

The Short man's gaze returned to the metal lumps on the table.

Then, a thought flashed through his mind.

This must be for the Skeleton Flying Dragons to use as projectiles.

Confirmed. Otherwise, there would be no other way to throw such things.

Why not use rolling landmines directly, since the technology is mature and the cost lower?

The Short man composed himself and asked, “Lord Island Master, what type of magic effect do you require?”

“What would you recommend?”

“Blast Flame, Thunder, and Poison Gas are all quite mature and unlikely to have issues,” the Short man replied.

“Give me two of each kind. I'll test their effects later.”

“That can be arranged, sir,” the Short man responded with a smile.

Wu Heng then asked, “What about the price?”

The Short man hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Wu Heng and said, “For some trivial work, how could I take your money?”

“Just give me the regular quote so I can understand the cost of using these weapons.”

The Short man pondered again before quoting directly, “Let's say 380 silver coins each, covering both material and labor costs.”

“Agreed.” Wu Heng nodded, then told Andre Willow, “Wei'er, sign a contract with him.”

Andre Willow took out a contract and had the Short man sign it.

After the contract was signed,

Wu Heng instructed, “Go and get ready. If there are any issues, come directly to city hall.”

“Will do.” The Short man gathered the shells.

After giving another bow, he left the room.

Andre Willow followed out but soon returned, saying, “Master, representatives from the Chambers of Commerce participating in the fair, as well as leaders from two stage troupes, have also arrived.”

“Let the Chamber of Commerce representatives come in first,” Wu Heng said.

Then, the door opened, and several representatives walked in.

“Lord Island Master.”

“Sit down!”

The remaining time.

Wu Heng met with the representatives from the Chambers of Commerce participating in the island's trade fair and the leaders of the two stage troupes preparing films.

The fair on the island had formed its own standards.

They had to be reviewed by the Gold and Silver Island.

Only after approval would they be arranged to exhibit in the show hall.

After chatting with the representatives for a while, Saban and Siska, the leaders of the two stage troupes, came in.

Wu Heng discussed with them the progress of the film production.

The introduction of movies on the island had indeed put significant pressure on both troupes.

They had never imagined that the movies Wu Heng described would turn out this way.

The immersive sound effects, intense plots, and exaggerated visual impact.

Especially the scenes of a horde of Beastmen battling the Short people and elves.

If this was what the Island Master described as a movie,

They couldn't muster that many people or produce such effects.

They probably couldn't in their lifetimes.

Seeing that both leaders were considering giving up, Wu Heng offered comfort and some promises.

He would arrange for people to help them, and even if their films couldn't match the effect of The Lord of the Rings, they would help sell them.

There would definitely be some rewards.

After receiving Wu Heng's promises, the two were somewhat reassured and continued to plan their films.

After they left, Wu Heng let out a sigh of relief.

The backlog of tasks that had accumulated was finally all completed.

After making sure nothing was left undone in his mind, he bid farewell to Andre Willow and left city hall.

Standing at the entrance, he glanced at the bustling street.

He continued walking towards the direction of the association.

The association was bustling with activity.

Around him, he could see the association guards clad in silver armor, wielding long spears.

The local association was indeed flourishing, with even the number of guards having been greatly increased; it seemed that the rank standards had also been raised.

Donning a mask, he passed by without anyone paying him any mind.

He crossed the long corridor and lightly knocked on the door of the Steward's Office.

After hearing the voice from inside, he directly opened the door and walked in.

The air conditioning was on inside the office.

The elf sisters' eyes lit up when they saw Wu Heng remove his mask.

“When did you get back?” Xi Ligui asked with a smile.

“I got back yesterday,” Wu Heng replied, taking a seat.

Shi Yali brought over some floral tea, her tone chiding, “You came back yesterday, and you're only coming to see us today?”

“There were too many things to handle. I've just finished being busy,” Wu Heng said, sipping his tea.

Shi Yali sat down opposite him, resting her chin on her hand as she watched him.

Xi Ligui continued with a question, “During this trip outside, did you come across any new intelligence?”

“Nothing special to report, just that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince seem to have nearly split control of the Yeko Kingdom between them,” Wu Heng replied, leaning back on the sofa.

The Second Prince?

Xi Ligui's brow furrowed. Shi Yali, who hadn't been listening to these matters and didn't care, just sat there blankly.

“This Second Prince is capable of taking control of half the territory?” Xi Ligui was somewhat surprised.

“If the intelligence isn't wrong, it should be the case.”

Xi Ligui pondered for a moment, then countered, “Then who's supporting the Second Prince?”

The Crown Prince held the Royal City and arguably had the support of the main nobles and officials, and they had even discovered some religious sects involvement.

Even daring to carry out assassinations against Stewards and Investigation Teams.

With so many level 18 powerhouses, acting so audaciously, the Second Prince could still hold onto half of the territory.

This proved that the other side also had considerable strength.

Wu Heng was also puzzled, and from the way the Lundham City's forces had advanced, it seemed like the Second Prince lacked powerful subordinates.

“It's still unclear at the moment. Perhaps he has some means or helpers!”

“The Yeko Kingdom is indeed in chaos. With this affair concluded, it will be hard for it to recover for many decades to come,” Xi Ligui lamented.

Wu Heng added, “The information isn't reliable. It's all hearsay. Don't talk about it outside and don't report it back to headquarters to avoid misleading them.”

“Sure, this matter is already none of our concern. I don't want to get involved,” Xi Ligui said, laughing.

Wu Heng took another sip from his teacup, “Did the Hongwen Alliance send me any letters?”

When he was in Lundham City, Wu Heng had written a letter to the leader of the Hongwen Alliance, mainly expressing his interest in Engraving Scrolls.

Even if they weren't going to provide him with any information, they should at least send a reply.

“There are some books and a letter. Give them to him,” Xi Ligui said.

Wu Heng was pleased, as it turned out, they had provided some things after all.

Just as he thought!

The watch and pen he had given before were not for nothing.

Seeing Shi Yali did not move, Xi Ligui called again, “Shi Yali, what are you daydreaming about?”

Shi Yali snapped back to reality, “Huh? What flower?”

“The things the Hongwen Alliance sent over for Wu Heng, I can't stand you sometimes,” said Xi Ligui with a sigh.

“I didn't hear,” Shi Yali replied, getting up to retrieve some books, a ledger, and a letter from a cabinet and handed them to Wu Heng.

Then she returned to her spot, resuming her daydreaming.

Wu Heng looked at the books in his hand, one titled Introduction to Scroll Basics and another an old-looking notebook.

He put both items into the Space Ring and quickly tore open the letter to read its content.

It was a reply from the leader of the Hongwen Alliance, mainly discussing matters related to Engraving Scrolls and advising him not to be overly distracted.

To focus on studying magic and leveling up, to reach level 18 as soon as possible.

The leader of the Hongwen Alliance was from the Elf Race and, to an elf, the human lifespan was far too short–hence focusing on leveling up was crucial for achievement.

Someone like Wu Heng, who one day created a watch and the next improved an Elixir, may have caused quite a stir but from the leader's point of view, was still somewhat frivolous.

Leveling up was the correct path.

He quickly finished reading the letter and casually placed it into the Space Ring.

Xi Ligui asked, “What did they say?”

“They told me not to focus on everything and concentrate on leveling up instead.”
