Daily Life

Early the next morning.

Lin Feng, who had gotten up early, was brought by Tighnari before the Forest Rangers. Tighnari publicly announced that the black-haired youth would soon become one of them.

To Lin Feng's surprise, his colleagues all seemed delighted, much like those chosen workhorses from his previous life who did an entire team's work alone and then saw a newcomer get tricked into joining.

Lin Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Seeing Lin Feng's doubts, Tighnari smiled and explained, "Although Forest Rangers are also official civil servants, because we have to deal with the rainforest, the environment, wild beasts, and monsters are all challenges we cannot avoid at work. So we've always been short-handed."

"Few people are willing to join when we recruit, so you coming here is actually a great help to everyone. Don't feel burdened by it." Tighnari patted Lin Feng on the head.

"You don't need to reassure me like that. Don't worry, the rainforest isn't dangerous to me." Lin Feng brushed Tighnari's hand away and replied.

Although Tighnari said that, Lin Feng knew it was only meant to keep him from feeling too pressured. After all, if being a Forest Ranger were truly that terrible, so many young people would not want to join.

Still, Lin Feng did not point it out. He had that much tact.

On his first day of work, Lin Feng was only assigned to inspect the streetlamps along the route. These lamps, made from glowing plants, were an eye-opening sight for him. They took being completely natural and pollution-free to the extreme.

After checking the streetlamps and inspecting the rain shelters in the rainforest, Lin Feng's day of work was smoothly completed.

It was worth mentioning that Lin Feng's exceptional stamina and agile movements left the other Forest Rangers clicking their tongues in amazement. Some of the young people who considered themselves fairly fit even began questioning their lives.

Evening.

After work, Tighnari kept his promise and tutored Lin Feng in reading and writing.

Lin Feng had expected learning to be extremely difficult, but he unexpectedly discovered that his memory and comprehension were remarkably good. Perhaps becoming younger had also changed his learning ability. In any case, his studies progressed very smoothly.

"All right, that's enough for today's lesson."

Tighnari let out a long breath and put away the teaching materials.

"By the way, have you considered joining the Akademiya and becoming a scholar? If I hadn't confirmed that you truly knew nothing at the beginning, I would have thought you were making fun of me."

"Even in the Akademiya, your learning speed would qualify as genius-level."

Tighnari did not hold back his praise.

"But what is going on with this grammar? Is it a specialty of Liyue?"

Looking at the wording and grammar full of "exotic flavor" in his student's writing, Tighnari reflected that even geniuses had their own problems.

Lin Feng: "..." He had been enjoying learning so much that he had accidentally used Chinese phrasing. The language of Genshin Impact was structurally closer to Western writing.

As a beginner, the sentences Lin Feng wrote always possessed a certain "Chinglish" beauty.

After putting away the teaching materials, Tighnari left. Lin Feng washed up and prepared to sleep as well.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng had just finished washing up when he heard a knock on the door.

When he opened it, he found the Forest Ranger who had inspected the streetlamps and forest facilities with him yesterday. Her name was Nasrin, and she was probably only around twenty. Other than speaking a little softly, she was completely like a young girl who had just stepped out of school.

Lin Feng invited her inside. Nasrin glanced at his neat bed and room, then said in surprise, "Your room is actually so tidy. I thought boys my little brother's age all hated making their beds."

Lin Feng's face darkened. "I'm not a child anymore. I can still do something as simple as tidying up."

Nasrin stuck out her tongue and looked embarrassed. "Sorry, sorry. Seeing you always makes me think of my little brother. It would be great if he could be as capable as you."

Nasrin had not come to chat. She placed several books from her arms onto the table and explained why she had come.

"Because Senior Tighnari said your learning progress has exceeded all expectations, he asked me to bring you some essential books for Forest Rangers ahead of time."

Lin Feng knew that Forest Rangers needed to learn a great deal. At the very least, he had once tried to find the Rainforest Survival Guide, which NPCs in the game often mentioned, but unfortunately, he had never found it.

Nasrin pushed the books toward Lin Feng. On the cover of the top one, he saw the words "Rainforest Survival Guide."

"Keep these books. They are essential reference tools for Forest Rangers, so please take good care of them. If you accidentally lose one, you can apply to me for a replacement." Nasrin smiled.

"Yesterday was only to let you experience the work environment. Next, I'll introduce the main duties of us Forest Rangers."

"It's actually not complicated. I'll explain it as simply as possible." Nasrin introduced the work with smiling eyes.

"For ordinary Forest Rangers like us, our daily work consists of four things: checking road conditions, maintaining forest facilities, eliminating fire hazards, and helping travelers and residents. It can be rather tedious, but it isn't actually that dangerous."

Lin Feng understood. It was basically work similar to forest police from his previous life. Considering his current physical abilities and learning capacity, he did not think these tasks would be difficult.

"But Senior Tighnari often has to deal with dangerous areas in the rainforest. That work is basically all handled by him. Unfortunately, we don't have Visions, so we can't share his burden." Nasrin was clearly somewhat regretful.

"Then what will I mainly be responsible for?" Lin Feng asked. He felt he could handle anything. Even if it involved dealing with the still-uncommon Withering, he had enough confidence—at worst, he could have Xiao Bai forcibly tear it down.

However, Nasrin merely smiled and suggested another option.

"Our team is actually still missing a hazard inspector."

"The main job is to investigate where new Hilichurl Camps have appeared in the rainforest, where dangerous monsters have appeared, and compile the intelligence before handing it to Senior Tighnari for handling."

"You've seen it too. Most of us don't even have physical abilities comparable to yours. Facing monsters is still too much for us." Nasrin put on a helpless expression.

"Of course, that kind of work is still too dangerous. Until you can pass Senior Tighnari's assessment, you'll temporarily be responsible for maintaining rainforest facilities with me." Nasrin explained.

After saying that, Nasrin stood up to leave. Lin Feng rose and escorted her to the door, where she turned back and said:

"You haven't been assigned any work today. You can read those books first, or you can look around."

"Oh, and the depths of the rainforest are very dangerous. If you have no reason to go there, try not to." Nasrin reminded him.

Having just crawled out of the rainforest himself, Lin Feng naturally would not go wandering around recklessly. Still, he thanked Nasrin for her kindness. "Thank you, I understand."

Nasrin left.

Having received a day off right after starting work, Lin Feng carried Xiao Bai out of the room.
