In front of the military supply warehouse, the giant lizard lay on the ground. Batch after batch of white steel ingots were loaded onto the carrying saddles under Fang Hao’s watchful eye.

Thankfully, the lizard was enormous. Otherwise, they would need two horse carts to transport all these steel ingots back to his territory.

[White Steel Ingots: 1510 Units.]

Apparently, Cyril’s 1500 estimate was not exact. The actual total was 1510 ingots loaded on the giant lizard.

“Mr Fang Hao, this is your bounty. Please count it,” said a soldier, approaching him.

There was no need for that. The quantity was already displayed.

“No need, I can take these away now, right?” Fang Hao asked.

“Of course. They’re yours now,” the soldier responded.

Fang Hao nodded and led the giant lizard away.

While passing through the city center, they had to slow their pace significantly.

They gradually moved forward, blending in with the crowd.

By the roadside, the members of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group were hanged high on a gallows.

On the platform, an official was loudly reading out their crimes and the murder that had occurred in the city the previous day.

When the citizens heard that those who had died had been the result of a vendetta between mercenaries, they started a commotion, discussing it privately.

Despite the commotion, the official kept on loudly proclaiming the crimes of the deceased and the nobility of the City Lord.

“Do you think the citizens will believe it?” Anjia whispered.

“I don’t know. Most people probably will, just like Cyril said. The citizens are more likely to trust the City Lord rather than the mercenaries,” Fang Hao replied.

He wasn’t sure if the citizens would believe it.

Certainly, many would suspect that this was City Lord Cyril’s revenge against the Fire Wolves.

However, this didn’t matter. Noone would demand justice for those who died. After all, they had committed enough evil deeds.

After passing a shop and inquiring about anything unusual, the giant lizard departed from Pruell City, rushing towards its territory.

By the time they returned to their territory, the sun was still setting.

After instructing the skeletons to unload the steel ingots into the warehouse, Fang Hao headed to Little You’s residence with the Censure Longsword.

“Good evening, Lord,” Little You greeted.

“Hmm, today we eradicated a group of murderous thugs and found a Censure Longsword. This should be a good fit foryou,” Fang Hao said, handing over the sword.

The moment Little You touched the sword, her body emitted a blinding light.

Immediately after, Fang Hao received a system prompt.

[The unit under your command, Wandering Spirit, has successfully been promoted to a Hero Unit (Incomplete Matter mission, no requirement for Hero Evaluation).]

[Disaster Song-Hilda (Green Level 2 Hero)]

[Faction: Undead]

[Template: Green]

[Race Features: Undead, Ethereal, Vulnerable to Light Attacks.]

[Skills: Soul Possession, Dark Void, Incomplete Matter, Shadow Stealth.]

[Innate Abilities: Intermediate Combat Mastery, Intermediate All Weapon Mastery.]

[Shadow Stealth]: Becomes one with the shadows.

(Including, but not limited to object shadows, living creatures’ shadows.)

(Note: They are confined here, neither eating nor sleeping, continuously experiencing the pain close to death.)

Seeing Little You’s stats, Fang Hao frowned.

Little You even had a name now, exactly the one named after her in the story— a female countess.

After becoming a hero, she reached Green Level 2 Hero. The skill Shadow Stealth was unlocked, and her innate ability was all weapons mastery.

Shadow Stealth seemed like an ability of an assassin from the games he used to Play-

Striking a critical blow while invisible.

Little You’s skill was similar—it could hide in the shadows, gather information, and assassinate, making it very useful.

Imagine a figure suddenly emerging from a shadow and stabbing a sword into your back.

That would be a completely unpredictable attack. Who could guard against their own shadow?

All Weapon Mastery was a rarity.

It was Intermediate level, meaning she had some knowledge in all the weapons but none in which she was particularly strong.

The only drawback was the title “Disaster Song”. The prefix didn’t sound very auspicious and was not as pleasant as “Doujin”.

“Lord, I have become a hero.” Little You spoke calmly.

It seemed as if becoming a hero was just an ordinary matter, with no emotional changes.

Fang Hao looked at her and noticed changes as well.

Little You’s body was now nearly solid, no longer a transparent phantom floating in the sky. She now resembled a person more closely.

The illusory clothes she used to wear had also disappeared, leaving her standing naked in front of Fang Hao.

“Little You, you… do you want to put on something? Even though this is your right,” said Fang Hao.

Following Fang Hao’s gaze, Little You finally noticed the subtle changes to her body after becoming a hero.

She quickly retreated back to her room, donned a linen gown, and walked back out.

Being able to wear clothes suggested that Little You could also wear equipment now, right?

“Lord, I apologize for my earlier appearance,” Little You apologized.

“Yeah, it seems you’ve chosen a name for yourself. Do you want us to call you Little You, or Hilda? We’ll respect your choice.”

“Little You.”

“Okay, Little You. Since you can now wear equipment, will there be any problems when you use Shadow Stealth?” Fang Hao suddenly thought of this issue.

When you use Shadow Stealth and merge into the shadows, wouldn’t it be a problem if your equipment suddenly fell to the ground?

The enemy would notice, wouldn’t they?

Or would she have to come out naked to assassinate, which wouldn’t be very serious?

If the deceased remained excitedly engorged at the time of death, it would also affect their reputation.

“Let me try,” Little You replied, disappearing into the darkness, her body seeming to melt like ink.

In the next moment, Little You appeared behind Fang Hao, gently tapping him on the shoulder, “Lord?”

Fang Hao turned around to find Little You still clothed in her long linen gown.

It proved that Little You’s equipment would also be affected by her ability, eliminating the possibility that she would vanish, leaving her equipment behind.

“Hmm, tomorrow we’ll have Soye prepare a few sets of everyday clothing for you.”

“Thank you, sir. I like the black and white dress that Eira and the others wear. Could you get me one?”

“Sure, you can ask Soye for it yourself.”

Fang Hao was curious. It seemed that the girls in his territory liked maid outfits a lot.

He decided to ask her what else she needed so he could prepare it in advance.

Previously, Little You was a pure spirit, so many of the furniture, carpets, etc., were of no use to her.

She didn’t even need to open doors, as she could simply float through them.

Now, however, she was almost corporeal.

After chatting with Little You for a while, Eira’s dinner was ready.

After dinner.

Fang Hao went directly to the Trade Alliance building.

Doujin was still busy arranging work, and skeletons merchants were moving around the shop.

“Sir.” The group of Skeleton merchants bowed respectfully.

“You guys continue with your work, don’t mind me.”

Fang Hao sat down at the counter and asked Doujin, “Is the order for the Steel Firearm still available?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Bring it out and let’s sign it. The materials are ready. Also, check if there are any blueprints for Firearm bullets,” said Fang Hao.

“Wait a moment, sir. Let me check.”

Doujin took out the order, then opened the counter behind him to check for the blueprints.

Fang Hao took the order and double-checked it.

[Order]

[Requirement: 2,000 Steel Firearms.]

[Trade Alliance Earnings: 200,000 Warfire Coins, +10 Dwarf Influence.]

After confirming the order information, Fang Hao signed his name, making the order official.

“Sir, there are blueprints for Firearm bullets.”

[Firearm Bullet (50) (Green Grade): Cast Iron Block xl]

The blueprint this time was for 50 firearm bullets, consuming one block of cast iron.

It was quite reasonable, not consuming the materials on a 1:1 ratio.

After purchasing and collecting the blueprint, Fang Hao took the order to the warehouse.

[Steel Firearm: White Steel Plate xl, White Steel Ingot X2, Metal Components X3.]

(Description: A commonly used weapon for firearm squads. It has a simple manufacturing process and can be mass-produced for equipping.)
