Mint

Three days later, Linsey and her group returned to the Banyan Forest as planned.

The three core members of the team each have different circumstances.

Linsey counted the gold ore mined in her backpack over the past three days, already planning the construction work after returning to town.

Tie Yu silently pondered treatment methods for plants.

Although we have a clear idea, finding the right ratio still requires a lot of work, and detailed planning in the early stages is indispensable.

The most special one is Vivian.

The child visited the Insectoid Tribe's canyon twice, and although he didn't stay long, the insectoids were always very welcoming to him for treating their disease.

In addition, Vivian took the initiative to communicate.

Over time, she even made some good friends here.

Vivian was a precocious child.

But as she parted ways with her new friends, certain thoughts inevitably surfaced, directly reflected on her youthful face.

That night, Linsey also realized what the child was thinking.

He came closer before going to sleep:

"Vivian, you seem to have something on your mind."

The little girl stared at the campfire before her, her voice tinged with self-reproach and a sense of melancholy:

"Mr. Linsey, I...I've made a lot of friends these past few days."

"They were all very innocent, as if they had never interacted with anyone before, and they were also very kind to me..."

Vivian's tone lowered, Linsey then spoke:

"Isn't it a good thing to make new friends?"

Vivian shook her head blankly:

"Of course, I really like them too. But... but their appearance..."

Vivian was too embarrassed to express her opinion.

Linsey understood the other person's feelings, so she smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Silly child, first impressions based on appearance are a habit most people have, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"The most important thing about making friends is not this."

Vivian turned her gaze over.

Linsey then extended her right hand and pointed to her heart:

"The key thing is the heart."

"Just follow your heart on this. Time will tell whether the friendship is genuine or reliable."

Vivian nodded blankly:

"I will."

"..."

The journey back to the Banyan Forest was smooth.

A few days later, Linsey and his companions saw the enormous, sky-covering canopy of the Banyan Forest again.

Everything familiar comes closer from afar.

This medical trip also marked the longest time Linsey had ever spent away from the camp.

I saw that they returned safely.

The guards stationed at the edge of the Banyan Forest cheered excitedly, as if they had won a victory.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"When I left, the camp was under your protection, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Linsey responded with a remark, and the guards responded even louder:

"Lord Linsey, don't worry!"

"As long as we are alive, there will be no danger here!"

After saying goodbye to the guards, Linsey led the others back.

Once they entered the area where the camp buildings were located, the group gradually dispersed.

Linsey intended to start working on her own.

But he had only taken two steps when he heard a creaking sound from a distance—the sound of a wheelchair speeding across the ground.

"Linsey, you're finally back!"

The young writer pushes her wheelchair at high speed on a stone road.

The bumpy road conditions and her sore buttocks couldn't dampen her excitement.

Under Linsey's speechless gaze, Hilude approached him, immediately pulled a roll of blueprints from behind her wheelchair, and handed it over as if to show off her achievement:

"Look, this is my design!"

"As per your requirements, I've taken into account everything: multi-story structure, lighting impact, convenient transportation, future tree growth, and the aesthetic design of the building!"

"..."

Linsey took the blueprints.

He walked into the town, examining it carefully as he went.

In just over a month, Hilude did indeed keep the promise she made when she left.

The drawings not only fulfilled the structural requirements of the building, but also included a large number of decorative items on the sides.

If the corresponding construction is completed, the entire Banyan Forest be transformed.

It can even recreate the elegance and romance of Elven City in Middle-earth!

"..."

Admittedly, Linsey didn't have a good impression of Hilude.

But this effort and technology deserve recognition:

"It is indeed an excellent design."

"Completing the city's expansion design in just over a month is something even I would find difficult to do."

Hilude should rightfully be proud:

"Ha—I didn't just pick up my Seventh Stage skills off the street!"

"Although I can't mobilize the Essence, what's engraved in my mind won't just disappear into thin air!"

"..."

Therefore, the morbid pursuit of heroes will never disappear from one's heart.

Linsey and Hilude exchanged a glance; they both knew something, so they stopped discussing it.

A few minutes later, Linsey arrived at the reserved Mint.

The corresponding scientific and technological research has long been completed in universities.

He put the last of his gold coins into the system, and a nearly fully enclosed building framework appeared on the ground.

"..."

"The Mint does indeed need such tight protection."

Linsey sighed.

He casually summoned a local resident and asked him to bring the construction team to complete the building as soon as possible.

Hilde, who was standing nearby, then asked:

"Linsey, Hammer hasn't come back yet, aren't you worried?"

The iron mine is a long way away; just the round trip would take more than two months, not to mention that they would also need to stay there for networking.

Ordinary Lord would inevitably feel uneasy at such times.

But Linsey had already confirmed the result through her skills, so she naturally wasn't nervous at all.

"Hammer and his team are doing their work very well, so you don't need to worry about it."

Hilude was somewhat disappointed that she had failed to stir any emotion in Linsey, but she was then happy about this power:

"Well, it's your amazing skills again."

"Let's talk about what's in front of us. What's the purpose of this new building?"

Linsey replied:

"Mint is used to produce currency."

"With a stable income, the city can enter a new phase of rapid development."

In just a few words.

Construction teams were also called in, and they entered the Mint's framework to begin construction.

Linsey is now reluctant to leave.

He stood there, silently watching the building before him transform from illusion to reality, waiting for the moment when the gold coins would be forged anew.

Hilude, standing to the side, seemed rather bored.

She wasn't interested in this kind of construction, but she didn't want to leave Linsey's side, so she forced herself to find a topic to talk about:

"Linsey, what's the attitude of those bugs now?"

Linsey did not answer immediately.

On the contrary, Hilude's question reminded him of something else.

Linsey turned to the young writer, her expression serious, and said:

"There are naturally no problems with the Insectoid Tribe."

"However, Hilude, while mining for gold this time, I discovered the explorer's notes from last time."

"What clues can you see from your perspective on fate?"

Hilude paused, closed her left eye first, and then spoke:

"Entanglement, misfortune, betrayal, sacrifice..."

The girl's voice suddenly stopped.

She frowned, closed her right eye, and then continued speaking:

"No, with my current abilities, I can't see the specifics clearly."

"But... the person isn't dead, but their condition is chaotic, a mixed bag of good and bad news, right?"
