The Consequences of Being Bad at Your Job Amount to Nothing More Than a Few Thousand People Freezing to Death, So Don't Feel Any Pressure

Back when Mud Truck Iai first entered the game, the supervisor at the survivor camp had spotted Tianxuan Construction Worker's "talent." Though the modest graduate student kept insisting he was still learning and knew very little, he had indeed come up with a complete set of plans for the camp's development.

These included, but weren't limited to, clearly dividing the residential and work areas, helping Mother Jules put together a camp hygiene and safety handbook, improving the tools used by the lumberjacks, and introducing the women to a new, more convenient way to weave bamboo baskets.

He had even provided a simplified tutorial for building an improvised Arabian-style tent out of wood and cloth.

It was information Tianxuan Construction Worker had found online, but when he brought it to the camp and taught the NPCs, it had been very well received.

All that effort had paid off.

Among the players, Tianxuan Construction Worker was still just an obscure nobody, but in the world of the survivor camp, the "young scholar," who was "knowledgeable and gentle with others," was fairly well known.

He wasn't just the camp's architect. Baroness Mirian had appointed him to other positions, too. In his spare time, he taught the children how to weave baskets, use various tools, polish wood, and learn other skills they could use to make a living.

That experience had earned him a great deal of respect from the people at the survivor camp.

You could see it in how his two teenage assistants had grown increasingly close to him. At first, they'd been stiff and nervous around him; now they eagerly massaged his shoulders and poured him tea. Their "affection" had increased by more than a little.

Tianxuan Construction Worker's gaming experience was also rather different from that of the other players.
