Chapter 228: Chapter 143: The Future Teachers of the School_2Since she would be teaching, she had to do it properly! And Zhou Bai, having left, walked straight toward the nearby blacksmith shop. Now that they were getting a teacher, it was a good opportunity to utilize the known resources within the territory. Harrison was teaching the apprentices how to repair equipment. The durability of the batch of equipment previously sold had basically reached its limit; it was time for proper repairs. He took this chance to instruct the apprentices as well. Upon hearing that Zhou Bai had come to the shop, Harrison let the apprentices continue with the maintenance and came out from the back. Compared to his past bluntness, Harrison, who had been comfortable here for a while, was no longer as sharp and acerbic as when he first arrived, though his nature was still as prideful as ever. "Village chief, if there’s anything you need me to do, just say it!" Accustomed to Harrison’s character, Zhou Bai directly said, "The territory plans to build a school, and I wish to invite you to be a teacher at the school, instructing the students in blacksmithing." Harrison listened and slightly furrowed his brow. He had already taken on apprentices, which he considered fulfilling his duty to Zhou Bai, the Lord, and now his blacksmithing skills were being eyed as well. Zhou Bai seemed to understand Harrison’s thoughts and continued, "It’s only temporary. Once the school is built, I will employ others. If there is a replacement, you won’t need to teach classes then. After all, I truly can’t find anyone else right now, and the territory’s need for equipment will only increase in the future..." Hearing this, Harrison recalled the massive workload he faced every day. He had only agreed to take on apprentices because he was too busy to manage on his own. It seemed, indeed, that the current manpower was not enough. Well, if it was only temporary, it could help lighten his own burden. With that in mind, Harrison nodded, "Just temporary." "Yes, once we find someone, they will take over," Zhou Bai promised. "Okay, I got it." Watching Harrison agree, Zhou Bai left straight away. Different people have different ways of doing things; as long as there was an agreement, that was enough. As for whether they could actually disembark from the "pirate ship" they boarded, that was a story for another time. Having dealt with Diana and Harrison, the rest shouldn’t be a problem, but visits were still necessary. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Subsequently, Zhou Bai went to find O’Neill and Lucas. When the two were found, they were a little surprised; they were just about to look for Zhou Bai themselves! "Village chief, I wish to take a leave to go home!" O’Neill blurted out as soon as he saw Zhou Bai. They had received notice of continued employment that morning, which also came with a day of leave. Immediately, he eagerly packed up various local products and other things to take home. After packing, he remembered his earlier plan to bring his wife and children to Hope Village. The idea had already been there, and now, with the development of the territory, his determination only grew stronger. Why not opt for a better choice, if available, instead of settling for possibly worse circumstances in his original territory! Don’t talk to him about racial differences; he knew that living a good life was what truly mattered. "You have a day off; there’s no need to ask for leave," Zhou Bai said subconsciously. "I plan to ask for a longer leave. I intend to go back and bring my family here. Otherwise, being alone here all year round, I feel lonely... well, a bit isolated, missing my family!" O’Neill couldn’t help but say, changing his words midway upon realizing that mentioning ’loneliness’ in front of Zhou Bai might seem inappropriate, quickly amending his statement. Zhou Bai understood his meaning and, after listening, felt a sense of surprise. For NPCs, she wouldn’t choose to employ them one by one, considering the current scale of the territory; after all, 1 Gold Coin per person per month was a considerable expense. But not employing didn’t mean she wasn’t eyeing the Beastmen. Beastmen indeed had their flaws, but it was fine as long as they were within manageable limits. Like O’Neill and Lucas, who weren’t very welcome in Hope Village at first, but now it was different. The environment shapes people! Of course, if there were those who couldn’t be changed, reality would teach them how to behave. In a Human Territory like Hope Village, Beastmen definitely couldn’t stir up trouble. Thinking so, Zhou Bai nodded, "I’ll grant your leave. Just bring your family here when the time comes, and remember to be safe." Beastmen were formidable on the Stan Continent but walking within the Human Clan Kingdom might not be easy after all!
