Chapter 39

 Du Mingna couldn't give up this task.

 Whether for the reward or to avoid punishment, he had to complete it.

 The task required independent research on architecture.

 Du Mingna decided to use a random team summoning order.

 The randomness of this summoning was strong, even though the system said that the summoned team would completely obey his orders and work for him, he never thought of using it too early.

 There was no way, the purpose didn't match, it would definitely prevent the summoned team from performing at their best.

 But the research on architecture was urgent, and Du Mingna had to buy time.

 With only the help of the villagers, there was no way to build a usable research building within a month.

 Using the team summoning order, even if the summoned people were not so suitable, they would still be a help.

 It was a pity that Jad's task was not yet completed, otherwise, with a team recruitment order that could specify recruiting what kind of team, he could ensure recruiting a construction team.

 Du Mingna had already selected the construction site of the school with Old John these days.

 Next, he had to select a location for the research building with Old John.

 Only after the selection could he use the random team summoning order.

 The summoned people had a time limit and would only work for him for seven days, so he had to ensure the working hours of the team members as much as possible.

 The system task did not have many requirements for the research building, only that it had to be an independent building.

 But Du Mingna had to be prepared for long-term use.

 The deadline for this task was one month.

 He had time, and compared to before, he now had more resources to build a slightly better research tower.

 Just ensuring that the total area of the research tower reached one tower should not be a problem, right? The main body of the research tower would not take up too much space, but a wall had to be built around the tower, and different research areas had to be planned around the tower.

 The papermaking, the herbs that Belinda wanted to study, and the blood-soaked liquid suitable for ordinary people to absorb from the monsters...

 all required dedicated research facilities.

 Papermaking required the study of various plants, herbs were also related to plants, and both required specific areas for planting the necessary plants.

 The villagers had to participate in the blood-soaked liquid, which could be discussed with Gus to see which villager could join.

 Perhaps Hausman could? But it was also possible that Hausman was not very clear about these things, as he was more responsible for killing monsters.

 Du Mingna was thinking about these things in a mess.

 Hausman was still kneeling on one knee.

 Daniel ran over excitedly.

 "Teacher, I think I can help you build...

" Daniel's voice and footsteps stopped abruptly.

 His suspicious gaze shifted between Du Mingna and Hausman.

 Du Mingna began to select a site to build a real school.

 This matter had already spread in the village.

 These days, most of the time only the children had time to listen to Du Mingna's lectures, and the adults rarely had time, but when the children returned home and chatted with their parents, everyone knew that Du Mingna sincerely wanted to make their place better.

 Building a stone school had to be as sturdy as the houses where the villagers lived, with a large amount of stone outer walls, which was not an easy task.

 However, if it was a wooden school, it should be simpler.

 The biggest source of income in the Grey Rope Village was selling wood.

 The village was close to the Sumpu Mountains, and the villagers were strong and dared to go up the mountain to cut wood, so they could accumulate a lot of wood.

 In the past, some of this wood had to be supplied to the Hall family, but now the whole village belonged to Du Mingna, and just using the part of the Grey Rope Village that Du Mingna had prepared to supply to the Hall family this year was enough to build a teaching building.

 The school was not built in a day, and Du Mingna had never thought of building a particularly large building all at once, nor had he thought of building a large complex of buildings.

 Like the research tower, it was said to be the size of one tower, but the main body of the tower would not be that large, and he only intended to build a basic research tower.

 The research tower can allow students to conduct basic research here in the future, but it is only basic research.

 There will definitely be more and better research towers built in the future.

 The same goes for the teaching building.

 There will definitely be better ones in the future, but for now, we also need standalone buildings.

 In Du Mingna's mind, there is already a conceptual drawing of the new school.

 He stood up, looked at Daniel, and asked, "What did you want to say just now?" Hausman also calmed down his excited expression and stood up.

 Daniel patted the back of his head.

 "Teacher, I was just about to tell you that I, along with Ges and Montserrat, have discussed it.

 We can help you build the teaching building first recently, is that what it's called? We haven't reached the time to harvest crops yet, so everyone is relatively free.

 It's better to get the teaching building done early, which will also make it easier for us to attend classes.

 Teacher, what do you think?"

"...Okay.

" Du Mingna nodded, "Then I'll trouble you.

 It just so happens that I need to oversee the construction of the research tower when I have free time recently.

 Um, I will find a way to get a team to come and help.

" "Research tower?" Daniel was puzzled.

 This sounds very unusual! But he had never heard Du Mingna mention anything like this before? Du Mingna nodded.

 "Just decided.

 Before you came, I and Hausman, Judd were discussing this.

 By the way, Daniel, Hausman, do you know how to adjust the blood of Warcraft in your village?" Daniel stared in horror.

 Hausman chuckled mischievously.

 "Young master, you're putting Daniel in a difficult spot.

 The former village chief tried to teach him, but he just couldn't learn.

" Daniel turned his head away in embarrassment, constantly touching his nose.

 Hausman chuckled again.

 He continued to tell Du Mingna, "Now we have Ges in charge of adjusting the blood of Warcraft.

 But although it's said that he's in charge, in fact, Norma grandma has to brew herbal water, and then Ges adds the appropriate proportion of herbal water to the blood pool that has already incorporated the appropriate proportion of Warcraft blood mud and Warcraft blood water.

" At this point, Daniel turned his head back.

 After the embarrassment, he admitted frankly.

 "Yes, I just can't learn these things, the more I learn, the more headaches I get.

 I'm just a brute who only knows how to fight, I don't know anything else.

 Teacher, do you want to improve the formula of the Warcraft blood soaking solution like Kane?" Speaking of this, Daniel suddenly realized something.

 He looked eagerly at Du Mingna and asked, "Do you need me to go out and hunt Warcraft? Be careful, let Montserrat cooperate with me to set traps and long-range attacks, we should be able to catch a lot!" Du Mingna was about to agree when he sensed something.

 He looked up at the sky.

 "Someone is coming.

" Old John had also arrived by his side at some point.

 Although Old John behaved much the same as usual, Du Mingna now knew that Old John was incredibly powerful.

 He deliberately paid attention to Old John's movements and noticed that Old John was now adopting a subtle defensive posture.

 Obviously, the newcomer had made Old John feel pressured.

 But Old John's overall performance was still relaxed.

 Old John's strength should be stronger than the newcomer, and Old John had full confidence in himself.

 Hausman, Daniel, and Du Mingna looked up at the sky.

 A hearty laughter echoed from the sky.

 "Principal, I'm here! Oh! Did you all know that I was coming today and already prepared a welcome party for me in advance?" The voice came closer from afar.

 A large bird in the shape of an eagle, covered with a layer of vine armor, swooped down from the distant sky, then rose again when it was a bit away from the village in the sky.

 Although this bird was large, it was much smaller than the previous bird that brought the plaque to Du Mingna.

 At the moment when the eagle-like bird landed at the lowest point, a figure jumped down from its back.

 Thanks to this person who had made a sound early, everyone in the village had expectations, so no one was startled, and no one rushed to find a place to hide like last time.

 The person who came had dark skin, a rugged appearance, and disheveled hair that revealed a burnt black color.

 Besides Oak, who else could it be?! Oak casually brushed his hair, which had just been tousled by the strong wind, and pushed the strands back behind his ears.

 He strode towards Du Mingna, arms wide open.

 "Oh, my dear principal, I finally see you!" He embraced Du Mingna, then lifted him up and spun around.

 "Hey, my dear principal, do you remember? When you were a child, I used to hold you like this!" Du Mingna: ??? Sorry, I don't remember! But Du Mingna noticed that Old John had completely relaxed his guard and even showed a kind smile typical of elderly people.

 Oak put down Du Mingna and gave Old John a big hug.

 "Long time no see, Old John.

 I heard about the principal when I inquired, and you actually gave up the opportunity to stay with the Hall family and followed the principal here! Good buddy, you will surely be proud of your choice in the future!" "Of course," Old John nodded confidently, "I always have faith in our young master.

 Oak, how come you're here? And why do you call our young master the principal?" Oak patted his chest loudly.

 "I am now a teacher at your Gray Rope Village School! The principal used one tower of land to invite me to teach for ten years.

 Hey, Old John, we are colleagues now.

 By the way, where is your school? Let me see..." Oak suddenly froze.

 He didn't find the expected school but saw the plaque of the Magic First School.

 The five golden words were so dazzling.

 Oak didn't know how long he had been staring at it before reluctantly looking away and swallowing hard.

 He didn't care about the villagers who had gathered to see this outsider and grabbed Du Mingna's shoulder.

 "Principal, is this... also your doing with your...

" He quickly changed his words.

 He knew that Du Mingna possessed extremely mysterious and powerful abilities.

 But he couldn't say it casually! Even though Old John seemed loyal to Du Mingna, and even though the other villagers seemed clueless about matters related to cultivation, it didn't matter if they heard something.

 But he couldn't say it, absolutely not.

 "Oh my, Principal, this plaque is amazing! I wish I could hold it every day!" Du Mingna showed an awkward yet polite smile.

 He pointed to the stone house next to the two wooden pillars with the plaque hanging.

 "That's where Old John and I live, and it's also the temporary school.

 Before you arrived, I was just discussing with Houseman, Daniel, and others about...

" Du Mingna quickly informed Oak about preparing to build a teaching building and inviting a team to build a research tower.

 He told others that he was hiring people with money, but Oak, who understood Du Mingna's special nature, knew that Du Mingna would inevitably use the mysterious power similar to recruiting him.

 Oak looked around.

 He also knew that the villagers were not aware of his arrival in advance and were not preparing a welcome party for him.

 The villagers were just celebrating surviving the monster attack.

 However, Oak did not hesitate to start eating and drinking with the villagers and eagerly awaited Du Mingna's upcoming history class.
