Two zombies walked out from the bedroom.

Regarding their appearance, they are old-aged and middle-aged.

Wu Heng looked at the ghost in the air. The little girl vanished into the wall in a puff of smoke.

“Fooled by a little runt.”

Upon seeing the two approaching zombies, Wu Heng nonchalantly threw a “Witch Arrow Skill.” The energy spear made of blue energy hit its target, causing the zombies to shiver slightly.

He turned around to open the door behind him, stood aside, and ordered “attack!”

The skeleton warriors, who were left in the hallway, entered the living room.

They tossed away the bags of rice and oil they were holding, pulled out kitchen knives, and swooped in to attack.

The zombies were immediately knocked down to the ground, and numerous knives landed, killing the zombies on the spot.

[Experience +4.]

[Summoned creature – Skeleton Warrior, Experience +3.]

[Experience +4.]

[Summoned creature – Skeleton Warrior, Experience +3.]

As the experience appeared, the two zombies died.

The living room fell silent, and the skeleton warriors returned to standby mode.

Wu Heng opened the door and glanced at the corridor. He did not see the small ghost.

It must have been scared and ran away.

“Who would’ve thought, if I could kill my way here, how could two zombies possibly kill me.”

After confirming there were no zombies in the room, Wu Heng started to look around the room.

Indeed, the living conditions of this family were quite good. Their furniture and decor were top-notch in the vicinity.

After rummaging around, Wu Heng found another safe in the study.

He opened it using a bronze key.

The safe was divided into three layers.

The top layer held permits, qualifications, contracts, the middle layer held neatly stacked gold bars and some gold jewelry, the bottom layer held cash, paper deposit slips, and bank cards.

Looking at the gold, Wu Heng didn’t know what to say.

The little girl hadn’t entirely lied to him; there was indeed a lot of gold in the house.

After packing all the gold and collecting some other valuable items, Wu Heng returned to the living room and cast “Bone Manipulation Skill” on the two corpses.

The two skeletons slowly stood up and rejoined the team.

Wu Heng did not linger. He left the place, led the skeletons, and returned to the street of the shop.

He instructed the skeletons to carry the unconverted bodies and headed towards the building he lived in.

The housing estate he had cleared out several times was even safer.

He returned home without any obstruction.

Wu Heng continued to cast “Bone Manipulation Skill” on the corpses.

It was dry and boring.

Black Stone Town, Professional Association.

Due to the previous ‘Church of Divine Punishment’ matter, the association’s hall was being repaired in many places.

Even in the open area, you could see some sword marks and bullet holes.

Wu Heng directly headed towards the front desk, leaving the Basen to rest.

“Mr. Wu Heng, how may I assist you?” said the receptionist with a smile.

“Check for me, did last time’s assignment get finished? The potion assignment.” Wu Heng said.

The antidote potion assignment had been posted for a few days.

He provided the material formula himself, it shouldn’t be this slow.

The waitress nodded, flipping through her record book.

Nodding, she added: “It has already been made, I will get it for you.”

The staff member quickly brought over a wooden box.

Upon opening the box, the potions were revealed inside.

“This is the medication from the request you posted, there are three bottles in total, all have been completed.”

[Customized Antidote Potion]

(Description: A potion created against a specific toxin.)

After confirming the item’s details, Wu Heng nodded, “Thank you.”

After storing the potions, he waved towards the rest area where Skeleton Basson’s squad was and walked towards it.

I haven’t been there for days. I should go and show my face.

I walked down the long corridor and came to the lounge.

I pushed the door and entered the room.

In the lounge, besides Captain Autruck and Cavina, there was a short-haired brunet girl sitting on the sofa.

“It’s a good thing you’re here, Wu Heng. Let me introduce the new member ‘Yuli’. She’s a druid.”

Then he turned to the girl on the sofa, “This is Wu Heng, the necromancer of our team.”

A Druid? The kind that can tum into a bear or a wolf?

Wu Heng looked back at the girl across him.

The girl was short, small and delicate, with wheat-colored skin, and not very old.

She had short shoulder-length brown hair which appeared fluffy due to slight curls.

She wore a leather armor artistically adorned with patterns similar to crescent moons, tree branches, and curled leaf plants.

“Hello, Yuli!” Wu Heng greeted her first.

“Hmph!” Yuli sniffed and turned away immediately.

Seemingly unwilling to deal with me.

What’s wrong with me today?

It looks like this girl has opinions about me.

Seeing her reluctance to talk, Wu Heng did not further the conversation.

He silently took a seat and asked, “Captain, Cavina, how are your injuries?”

Autruck replied, “I’m fine.”

Cavina moved her arm with a smile, “Not as serious as the captain. It’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”

This was clearly the distinction between the front line and the back line.

Almost everyone in the front line was injured, even Skeleton Basson broke a rib.

Wu Heng was safe at the back line, outputting power and took the most kills in the whole fray.

Of course, the merit also lies in the three of them engaged the Elder of the Church of Divine Punishment, or it could have been worse for him.

But the durability of the professionals in this world is indeed exaggerated.

Serious injuries are shrugged off as mere scratches.

“Captain, is there any development regarding the matter with the Church of Divine Punishment?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

Autruck replied: “The Association is still investigating the purpose of the Church of Divine Punishment elder’s visit to Black Stone Town, and the reason for the serious error in the intelligence.”

Leading the main force of the city out last time was no small matter.

It could be seen as an intelligence failure, or a decision-making error of the leaders.

Someone needs to take the blame, otherwise, it’s unjustifiable.

Wu Heng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Autruck continued: “But the superior item reward for our team has arrived. You’re here today, so let’s go and choose.”

“Alright, sure!”

Autruck left the lounge. When he came back, he held several items in his hand.

He placed them on the table one by one, saying: “After a discussion with the church and the merchants of Black Stone Town, we were given a 3rd level merit and reported it to the headquarters of the association. With this record, as long as you reach level 8 or above, you will at least be assigned as a team leader in a subdivision.”

Level 3 Merit?

At first, Wu Heng was taken aback, but then it quickly dawned on him.

In the association’s system, besides keeping records, there is also the concept of merit.

Ordinary commissioned tasks only provide money rewards and item rewards. Those that can be recorded for merit are those who have made ‘special contributions’ or ‘prevented major events’. Only these heroes of extremely serious incidents will be recorded for merit.

Just as Autruck said, with the merit on record, as long as the level and strength are sufficient, it is no problem to become a team leader.

In larger cities, there are many high-level professionals, but most of them are only team members, stuck at the threshold of merit.

However, these things have little impact on Wu Heng, it’s a good thing to have, but it’s also okay if he doesn’t.

Nothing is more important to him than leveling up.

“Alright,” Wu Heng replied.

Cavina’s face broke into a joyful smile.

Next, Autruck placed the rewards one by one on the table, “These are the superior item rewards offered. Each of us can pick one.”

There were seven reward items in total, lined up in a row.

The first one was a wooden bracelet, upon a closer look, it was filled with intricately carved patterns or more precisely, symbols.

“This is a bracelet engraved with Natural Array Method. It can heal our own injuries. It can be used twice a day, with a healing effect close to an ordinary healing potion.” Autruck explained..
