Chapter 107: Disappointing Interrogation
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I know this as well. Precisely because I know, we must be even more careful. Laura is very important for the future development of our Budah family, but let’s not forget that Laura is a merchant. The time we’ve interacted with her is still too short. If we make a wrong move, it could be dangerous."
Galen nodded in agreement, "Then let's wait a moment. Once we observe Laura properly and ensure that she is indeed trustworthy, we can give her the magic peach pit. By the way, young master, let's not give those two peach pits to Mu Tou and Shi Tou yet. Their strength is still too low, and they can't catch any decent magical pets at the moment. We can discuss it again when their strength is higher."
Initially, when they heard they could receive a magic peach pit, Mu Tou and Shi Tou were delighted, but upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, their expressions turned sour.
Zhao Hai glanced at the two and smiled slightly, choosing not to say anything. Galen was correct; their cultivation was still too low. Even if they were given a powerful magical pet, they wouldn't be able to control it properly, and it could end up negatively affecting their cultivation.
After breakfast, Zhao Hai and the others left the villa. Once outside, Zhao Hai first harvested a season’s worth of radishes and then planted a new batch before heading to examine the assassin's corpse.
Now, Zhao Hai had accumulated twenty-six acres of radishes in his space, enough for him to trade with Laura. However, he had no intention of planting anything else just yet; the timing wasn’t right. He wanted to wait until after the trade with Laura before making any decisions.
This time, during their battle against Jialan and the others, Zhao Hai received quite a surprise. They managed to find one thousand two hundred gold coins on Jialan, which was an unexpected windfall.
In fact, it wasn't just the money; Jialan's family background was quite substantial. However, he was carrying a few magic crystal cards. These cards were issued by several of the most famous silver banks on the continent and utilized the blood identification method. You could store your money on the card, but only you could use it because you had to drop a drop of blood on it when you received the card, which then became a unique password for identification. Only the person holding the card could withdraw the money; others could not use it.
Looking at the numbers on that crystal card, Zhao Hai felt as though his heart was bleeding. Although Jialan had been turned into an undead being by him, he couldn't use the card at all, so it was just a useless item. Zhao Hai thought of throwing the card away but ultimately couldn't bear to do so and put it in storage.
Zhao Hai still hadn’t taken a close look at what Jialan and the others had become after being enhanced, but he decided to handle the main matter first.
Zhao Hai took the Evil Spirit Staff and approached the corpse of the high-level warrior. With a wave of the staff, a wave of black mist enveloped the body.
This black mist was different from that used to create lower-level undead beings; there were faint flashes of electricity within it, resembling a shrunken dark cloud.
This was one of the benefits of using the Evil Spirit Staff; it allowed Zhao Hai to cast spells without the need to chant incantations. He simply needed to choose the spell he wanted to use.
After a while, the black mist dissipated, and the spatial prompt sounded: "Reconstructing into a class robot-like entity, high quality, low toxin attack, medium bone hardness, extracting advantages, enhancing toxin, enhancing life force, enhancing ranged attack ability."
After a series of prompts, a skeleton finally appeared on the ground. This skeleton looked no different from the other undead beings in Zhao Hai's space. After examining it closely, he still couldn’t find any differences and asked, "Get up. What is your name?"
The person immediately stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai, saying, "Master, my name is Night Without Shadow."
