With the new information popping up, Catherine had already arrived in front of Gu Xi.

She was thin and small, looking like a starved mummy, wearing a set of bone armor flickering with purple electric light, and draped with a white cloak.

She held a horn in her left hand, with a cloth pouch hanging from her waist.

As she walked, Gu Xi could hear a jingling sound.

Upon closer inspection, some gold coins were dropping to the ground just like that.

"My Lord."

Gu Xi glanced at Catherine, "See that commercial building under construction over there? That’s the commercial coordinate of my senior brothers.

The commercial operations here are entrusted to you.

While ensuring our interests, make more profits."

Catherine nodded affirmatively, "My Lord, please rest assured, I will handle everything well."

"Alright, from now on, the commerce in Yalidu City is up to you."

Gu Xi felt relatively assured about his Contracted Undead.

At the same time, he immediately recognized that Catherine before him really had no combat power aside from financial management.

So Gu Xi had no intention of letting her fight.

But Catherine then asked.

"My Lord, I would like to know, does this city’s circulating currency need to be arranged?"

Hearing this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but ask.

"Arrange what?"

"My Lord, such a large city can’t rely solely on you to provide resources. We need our own bank, our own mines and farms.

Although we are undead, we can’t just distribute resources arbitrarily.

We should have our own currency, to ensure better resource circulation among the undead."

Catherine began to explain various principles to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was starting to get a headache just listening.

He turned to look at Luna, "Luna, did you understand?"

"No, but I am sure that if we do as Catherine suggests, we could use seventy percent of the resources to achieve one hundred and fifty percent of the effect.

Catherine’s ability seems pretty impressive."

Hearing this, Gu Xi nodded too.

If that’s the case, then letting Catherine handle it might be good.

Indeed, the saying goes well, money can make the devil turn millstones.

"Then go ahead and do it, if you need anything, discuss it with Luna."

Catherine immediately came to Luna’s side upon hearing this.

"Sister Luna, I would like to set up two construction teams and three prospecting teams. I need manpower."

"I can arrange that," Luna promptly said.

"Additionally, I need architectural design plans for the bank and vault."

Catherine continued.

"I’ll have the architectural designer figure it out."

Gu Xi said at this time.

Catherine brought up several more requests, all of which Gu Xi and Luna agreed to without exception.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi also noticed that Catherine’s abilities were indeed quite strong.

The Financial Skill could increase the city’s funds by 10% every week, and the Mining Skill could increase the output of all the city’s mines by 5%.

Just these two skills alone made it worth keeping her in Yaliduoli.

Not to mention that Catherine was not the kind of brainless entity.

Her presence allowed for commercial exchanges, haggling, organizing currency.

She could do many things, indicating Catherine’s considerable importance.

Although she might not stand out in combat, she was an indispensable part of Yalidu City.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, "First, handle the financial system in Yalidu City, then we have a Death City at Poisonous Peach Mountain.

Outside Yalidu, there is a Satellite City, Maze Demon City.

The two satellite cities, Jiaolong Blood Castle, and Blood Sacrifice Ridge.

These places have their own specialties, and you need to integrate these places into Yalidu’s system."

"I understand, but my Lord, I need time and manpower."

"I’ll give you half a year; for manpower, you can go to Luna and Eldest Princess Anna.

If necessary, you can go and pick from the Corpse Breeding Ground; I’ll do a special summoning for you."

"Then I have no problem."

Catherine agreed.

After finishing matters here, Gu Xi did not remain idle.

He also had a corpse to deal with.

This time, the corpse was not placed in the Market District.

This corpse was to be sent to the real world, so Gu Xi placed it over in the Stove Stone District of the Main City District.

However, compared to Catherine’s preparations here, the preparations for the corpse were no less.

Although there were no piles of gold or concentrated evil qi, Gu Xi had prepared various tools and materials for it, leaving nothing out.

When Gu Xi arrived, a set of Furnace Stone was placed next to the corpse, indicating the corpse’s primary function.

And a large machete-like kitchen knife, which Gu Xi had pulled from the warehouse, this item looked like a kitchen utensil but it was actually an attack-type implement.

Additionally, Gu Xi prepared a maid outfit made of ice silk.

This was prepared on the spot when Gu Xi was coming over.

Beside the maid outfit, there were also scattered little tools.

Most of these small tools were found from the weekly output of the magazine library.

Even with Gu Xi’s extensive knowledge, he couldn’t identify them all.

He only knew these were very useful tools, providing a certain level of combat help for this corpse.

In other aspects, Gu Xi didn’t know anything else.

If it weren’t for the magazines in the library being inconvenient to take out, Gu Xi would have wanted to transport some magazines here together.

Of course, to ensure this corpse had a sufficiently strong culinary skill level, Gu Xi prepared several Soul Fragments to reinforce the memory given by Lu Xi, to avoid any memory error turning decent culinary skills into mere kitchen scraps.

After preparing everything.

Gu Xi began drawing a magic array outside the small house in the Stove Stone District.

Meanwhile, all kinds of materials were placed upon the magic array.

As for those small tools, they were all placed in the pockets of the maid outfit.

Finally, channeling magic power, he locked down some of the energy of the corpse in place.

Having completed all this, Gu Xi took out the Contract Scroll and forcefully tore it open.
