Teacher and Student
"Oh, so the Lord is working here all by himself?"
The second person to arrive here was Hilude.
She looked at Linsey and Vivian, who were still working in the shards of sunlight filtering through the Banyan Grove at midday, her tone naturally carrying a hint of ambiguity:
"If you spoil these ordinary people like this, even doing this kind of work yourself, it might have the opposite effect, don't you think?"
Linsey glanced sideways at Hilude.
He initially didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but after noticing that Vivian had also turned her attention to him, he gave a formal reply:
"Of course I know that authority cannot come entirely from charity."
"If someone challenges me, I wouldn't mind building up my prestige even further."
Hilude's eyes immediately lit up:
"A combination of kindness and severity? Linsey, is this your first time being Lord?"
Linsey withdrew her gaze:
"If it weren't for the first time, I wouldn't have thought of having lunch with everyone today."
"..."
Seeing that Linsey wasn't going to talk to her, Hilude didn't bother to make things awkward for herself.
She also pushed her wheelchair into the building's interior.
Although the efficiency is slower than that of a normal person, the virtual building system is not demanding; even the movement of the upper body can speed up the building process.
Seeing this, Vivian became restless.
"Miss Hilude, you have classes this afternoon and evening. This is physically demanding work; you should get some rest..."
"Vivian, don't misunderstand me." Hilude shook her head and smiled at Vivian. "I'm helping out here not to build the camp, but purely for myself."
Linsey, standing next to Vivian, specifically explained:
"This guy's Source Material Skill have been severely damaged and are almost completely useless. But by receiving a knowledge infusion in the building, he can recover a tiny bit of power."
Linsey scoffed:
"Don't be fooled by how hard she's working now."
"Actually, it's to complete the construction of the building as soon as possible, and then give myself another chance to transform."
Hilude smiled alluringly:
"Don't make me sound so materialistic."
"This is mutually beneficial, like what you said before, something like winning twice... Yes! It's a win-win situation, this is a win-win situation!"
Linsey stopped paying attention to Hilude.
With the three of them working together, the construction speed increased considerably.
Fifteen minutes later, as the midday sun receded, the people began to resume their activities.
Some of them transported branches to the surrounding woods to Great Banyan Grove's coverage; others went out to collect stones and minerals, while also gathering prey skeletons; the rest went to the Farmland, where they cultivated strategic buildings, and their work was quite familiar to them.
Then they saw the construction workers heading this way.
Linsey then stopped and stood up:
"By the way, who do you two think would be a good fit for the position of doctor in the camp?"
Even with the support of strategic buildings, healthcare remains a top priority.
This work concerns people's lives and health, so Linsey must take the selection of personnel very seriously.
Upon hearing the question, Vivian immediately fell into thought.
Hilude, standing next to her, had a much simpler approach. She spread her hands and gave a regretful smile from her wheelchair.
"My opinion is that there is no one who is suitable here, or rather, everyone is suitable."
"The people in this world have almost no medical and hygiene knowledge. No matter who you choose, you will start training them from scratch."
"..."
Linsey fell into deep thought.
Hilude is right, the Wasteland is indeed such a place.
Ordinary people can only accept this situation.
But for Linsey, her experiences over the years have actually given her some ideas!
"Tie Yu, come here!"
Linsey shouted into the crowd.
The young and honest Tie Yu rushed over immediately, his eyes gleaming with loyalty to Linsey:
"Lord Linsey, what are your orders?"
Linsey nodded slightly:
"That's right, there are some things I need to discuss with you. Please come with me."
This time, Linsey didn't bring any extra people with her.
He and the young awakened one arrived at the second floor of his Plant Hut.
Linsey then sat down at her desk and pulled out a chair specifically for Tie Yu:
"Come, sit down first."
Tie Yu was somewhat puzzled, but still obeyed and sat down:
"Lord Linsey?"
Linsey confirmed:
"I know from what I've learned before that you're only First Stage Awakener who has just awakened. Apart from simple manipulation of Essence, you haven't yet developed any advanced skills, right?"
Tie Yu's expression immediately turned tense, and beads of sweat appeared on his brow:
"I... I'm trying to become a hunter. I've been asking Sand Dune and the others for tips whenever I have free time these past few days..."
Tie Yu lowered his head unconsciously.
Aside from the newly joined Awakened Ones, he was the only Awakened One remaining in the camp after the last attack.
Upon hearing Linsey's question, he instinctively felt that his performance was not satisfactory.
But Tie Yu didn't expect it.
Linsey smiled with satisfaction when she heard that he hadn't yet perfected his skills.
Then, the young awakened one saw Linsey take notebooks out of his bag and place them on the table in front of him.
At this point, Linsey finally spoke:
"Tie Yu, do you know about Volcano City and the Life Scholar?"
Tie Yu shook his head blankly:
What is that?
"That's a general term for awakened beings, and the World Main City they possess," Linsey explained, then added based on Tie Yu's understanding, "In the Wasteland, it's like hunters or Law Knight?"
The honest and simple-minded young man still didn't understand Linsey's meaning.
Faced with this problem, he thought of another aspect, and his expression became even more ashamed:
"Lord Linsey, I...I have never heard of any Life Scholar active in the Wasteland. If you..."
Seeing that Tie Yu was about to apologize, Linsey quickly waved her hand to interrupt him:
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood me."
"This afternoon, I set up a new Medical Station in the camp. People will be stationed there to provide medical services. At the same time, this work requires the relevant skills."
"I called you here today to see your opinion, whether you'd like to learn the skills of Life Scholar from me?"
Linsey's idea was simple.
Physicians are a school of skills that originated in Volcano City, and are also a sub-branch of the Life Scholar.
If Tie Yu agrees, he will definitely teach him everything he knows.
This allows a skilled and composed awakened individual to become a doctor, while also fulfilling Teacher Finn's wish, resulting in a win-win situation.
Tie Yu's answer was as expected.
In this Wasteland land where traditional skills are extremely rare, and even hunting is a highly sought-after profession, Tie Yu's eyes shone with excitement and gratitude upon hearing this news.
"Lord Linsey! I, I do!"
"I swear I will study hard and do my best to complete your task!"
