Chapter 681: Chapter 489, Got the Blueprint for Rifle_1
“Well, I think of you wherever I go, and when I see something that suits you, of course I’ll buy it for you.” said Fang Hao unabashedly, sitting down beside her.
He knew how to speak words that would charm a woman.
The impact of those words, however, often depended on who said them and when they were said.
If he had said such words when he first met Rebecca, she would likely have been disgusted, maybe even wanting to chop his head off.
But now, she only blushed and didn’t make any dramatic reactions.

“I never realized that you’re so good at sweet-talking people,” Rebecca blurted out, her cheeks flushed.
Her loose neckline allowed him to glimpse the softness beneath, partially obscured by a jade pendant.
In fact, Rebecca had a habit of sleeping nude.
Back when he pretended to be a flamboyant fashion designer, he had once witnessed her sleeping in the buff.
He hoped that wonderful habit hadn’t changed.
“It depends who it is,” he retorted, “Why would I sweet-talk just anyone?”
“Humph! Fine, I have accepted your gift. I have things to do tomorrow and need to rest early,” Rebecca moved to shoo him away.
“Oh, what are you doing tomorrow? I’ll have Aseti accompany you. It’ll be safer,” rather than leaving, Fang Hao instead moved from his chair to sit on the edge of the bed.
Staring intently at the disheveled beauty before him.

Rebecca, unnerved by his gaze, curled her blanket around her chest and scooted back a bit timidly.
Initially, she wanted to scold him, but it seemed her words didn’t faze him at all.
She clenched her teeth, realizing that without offering him something, he wouldn’t leave.
“Just for a moment, then hurry back to rest. I really do have things to do tomorrow,” she said after a moment’s thought.
As soon as she finished talking, she leaned forward and planted a quick kiss on Fang Hao’s lips.
The moment their lips touched, Fang Hao was about to hold her when Rebecca pulled away.
“Okay, hurry back now. I need to rest,”
Fang Hao blinked, covering his lips as he said, “Humph, I actually wanted to chat with you. I didn’t expect you to take advantage of me. I’ve been treating you like my elder sister, and yet you entice me! Wait for me! Next time, I will definitely pay you back!”
??
With a confused expression on her face, Rebecca watched as Fang Hao feigned victimhood, stomping out of the room after a menacing threat, “You wait! I will return to take my revenge!” she retorted.
He did not listen and departed, repeating, “Wait for me, I’ll definitely come back for revenge.”
And with that, he left the room.
…
Back in his room,
Anjia and Lorrey had returned after showing off their new clothes.
When Lorrey looked envious, Anjia was quick to give him her ‘Flower Fairy Honey’ Fang Hao had bought.
She made sure to emphasize that it symbolized their friendship.
Lorrey was moved, despite not knowing how to use it. But at its price, he knew it must be something special.
He was so moved he nearly cried as he hugged Anjia’s leg.
Anjia looked pleased and promised to take him along next time.
Inside the room, a Nightstone illuminated the space.
Anjia was prancing around in her new dress.
The Fairy Dream Tower’s clothing certainly had an ethereal quality to it.
Yet, when Anjia wore it, it didn’t quite have the same effect. It did look good nevertheless.
Ding!
A message notification came through from the Book of Lords.
Upon opening it, he saw that it was a message from Dong Jiayue.
“Brother Hao, the dwarves’ scouts are frequently investigating my side. I suspect the dwarves are planning to take some action,”
Fang Hao sat on the bed replying, “What about Bellerga’s blueprints? It’s been several days since he promised to have it done.”
Bellerga was supposed to be etching the blueprint for the musket.
But even after a month of research, nothing had been etched.
He had asked Dong Jiayue to remind Bellerga last time and was told it would be three days. Today was the third day.
Dong Jiayue replied, “I have just been to Bellerga. He said he could have it done by morning.”
“Hopefully he won’t change his mind this time. How are your arrangements? Any intel from the dwarves?”
Dong Jiayue, “The undead led by the Black Sword have amassed an army of a million soldiers. I have consolidated twelve lords to participate in this upcoming war. These two days, we have been preparing armors and weapons for the skeletons and soldiers.”
Immediately, a second message came in.
“In comparison to human beings and orcs, dwarves have a limited population. However, besides Eight Peaks Mountain, there are twelve fortress cities equipped with defensive arms. Thus, I am afraid this war will take a long time.”
Wars are brutal and costly, especially with winter approaching.
If it were not for the ambitions of the dwarfs, Dong Jiayue would not have wished to start a war at this time.
After all, to recruit soldiers, transmigrators also needed various materials like Soul Crystals.
Although she did not know how Fang Hao recruited so many Undead, she knew it wasn’t without cost.
If you use them all up, security gets compromised.
“It’s fine. If the dwarves aren’t afraid, then why should we be? The Undead don’t need food and aren’t afraid of the cold, so we can wear them down,” Fang Hao replied.
“Hehe. Brother Hao, you’re right; I’m not afraid of them either.”
Fang Hao continued, “I can’t hurry back, so you need to take care. I’ll arrange the heroes from each city to support you.”
Dong Jiayue replied, “Okay, we can handle this. We can’t have you handling every little problem.”
