==================

Everyone looked at the village chief and Lian Yun with different expressions.

As soon as he arrived in this small town, the first thing that troubled Lian Yun was the one thing he encountered.

"What's going on!" The village chief frowned slightly, obviously not wanting to see such a result.

The man standing on the altar lowered his head, looking as if he was willing to be beaten and scolded.

"Village chief, don't be angry..." Lina walked to his side, pulled the village chief's sleeve and shook it.

"The Lord's sister told me that this contract requires the applicant's sincere willingness. We just lost our village, so it's understandable that we can't immediately fall in love with another town..."

As Lina spoke, she couldn't help but choked up.

The little girl looked at Lian Yun with pleading eyes: "Sister, can you give them some time?"

Lian Yun glanced at the village chief, who pursed his dry lips, closed his eyes, and remained silent.

Some of them may not have yet accepted the fact that the village has been destroyed. At present, the village chief is their only backbone, and they do whatever he says.

But this kind of behavior is like a puppet summoned by 996, without any emotion.

The altar is not very flexible in accepting residents from the town, and it is unwilling to accept residents casually.

Lian Yun thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.

Everyone is here, and townspeople are just a title. The mission can be completed sooner or later, so why force them?

Not only would the Holy Altar refuse to accept the residents obtained in this way, Lian Yun would not be willing to do so either.

And what about the village chief?

How could he not know this?

The old man's eyelids were covered with wrinkles, concealing the myriad emotions surging in his heart.

No one cares about these people more than he does. These are the children he has watched grow up, and he cannot bear to part with any of them.

Like these people, he lost his home and loved ones, and witnessed the people around him die beside him.

Under such circumstances, they can still stand here without breaking down emotionally, and I am proud of them.

The old man sighed deeply. Of course he knew this kind of pain.

But he suppressed the severe pain in his heart, and chatted with the lord as if he had never been hurt, and offered suggestions on the construction of the town.

Everything is just for them.

He couldn't wait for these children to get home safely. There were too many changes and uncertainties, and he couldn't bear the embarrassment of these children being homeless again in the next second.

In this desert, there will never be another Lian Yun and her town.

This uneasiness never left him for a second.

Even though everyone calls him "village chief" and "village chief".

He knew that his village was long gone, and from that moment on, he and his children were homeless and helpless.

He even began to doubt whether he was doing the right thing by raising these children but causing them to lose their homes and even their lives once again.

The old man opened his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice from his dry throat: "Children, don't call me the village chief anymore. From now on, Bubu Town is our home, and I am one of it."

"My name is Gerry Lyman."

Although the old man's voice was hoarse, it was still warm and powerful.

His eyes shone with a light that made people believe.

"Everyone must move forward and look ahead. We cannot look back."

Everyone looked at Gary's smile, and some people opened their mouths but said nothing.

But the ice in everyone's numb heart seems to be beginning to melt little by little.

Lian Yun looked at this scene, waved to Aibei and whispered a few instructions.

After saying that, Gerry walked up to Lian Yun and said, "Sir..."

"It's okay, I'm willing to give you time. As long as you are willing to treat the town as your real home, it doesn't matter how long it takes." Lian Yun smiled kindly.

"Thank you, our tolerant and merciful lord." Gary was the first to say this in a resounding voice, and then performed a complete salute.

The people behind him imitated his movements and also worshipped Lian Yun.

It was the first time that Lian Yun had seen such a situation. He raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt that it was great to have an experienced helper.

Lian Yun quietly leaned over and approached Gerry: "Hey, do you know the name of the person who helps manage things under the lord?"

Gerry was stunned. "There are administrators who handle matters big and small, stewards who handle minor matters for the lord, and those who manage fields, livestock, and warriors... Which one are you talking about?"

After listening to Gary's examples, Lian Yun felt that he needed talents with broad knowledge at the moment.

So the girl stood up and solemnly extended an invitation to Gary.

"I, Lian Yun, the town lord, would like to hire you as the administrator of Bubu Town. What do you think?"

Gerry was flattered and pointed at himself: "Sir, you mean... me?"

"That's right."

Oh, what an extremely young and kind young lady lord.

Gary glanced at the expressionless blond man behind the girl. The latter didn't look stupid. Why didn't he stop the girl from doing anything?

Gerry kindly reminded: "Sir, I just stepped down as village chief, and I brought these people here."

"I know."

Gary was stunned: "So their hearts are still with me..."

"Of course I do."

"...If I intend to usurp the throne..."

"Ahem, you're not just my only assistant," Lian Yun said righteously, pointing to Lana behind him with a playful look, "You're both second-in-command, and no one is better than the other."

"So...even if you make a mistake, he can still help me deal with it."

The girl smiled very confidently.

This confidence comes from trust in the man behind him, and it is also a test for Gary.

Gary smiled knowingly and gladly accepted the test.

"What the adults said makes sense. I'm very familiar with these children, so I can handle them more easily."

Perhaps he was too careless and misjudged the girl in front of him as a little girl who had no plan or strategy for anything.

Maybe she doesn't have enough experience, but she is definitely not an ordinary person.

"So what about salary? What do you think is a good amount?" Lian Yun said, stroking his chin as he spoke about something that made him happy. "How about 500 gold coins a month?"

Lian Yun winked at him and said, "As a subsidy, there is also a fixed supply of blood bottles and medicine bottles."

As she spoke, she took out two potions and explained to him their miraculous effects.

…

Gerry might be beginning to understand why Lanner lets her do anything.

Without falling, there is no experience.

And even if they fall, they have enough capital to stand up again.

As a qualified administrator, finance is of course part of Gerry's responsibility.

He took up his post immediately and handled his duties diligently and responsibly.

"Sir, even if you have more gold coins than you can spend, you can't squander them like this." Gary said in a strong and serious voice.

Lian Yun: ...?

The girl hissed, feeling like she had shot herself in the foot.

"As you know, the total amount of gold coins on the entire continent is fixed and limited. You can distribute gold coins outside the main city, but you can't do so arbitrarily..."

Next, Lian Yun was forced to study courses related to "Other World Economic Theory", including but not limited to topics such as inflation, currency devaluation, financial crisis, etc.

In a trance, Lian Yun even felt that he was back in the drowsy classroom in college, and he was not studying the major he had studied.

Lina was very considerate and handed the old man a glass of water, and Lian Yun finally took the opportunity to take a breath.

Looking at Lian Yun's relieved expression, Gary sighed slightly.

It seems that the road to educating the young lord is long and arduous, but in order not to disappoint Lian Yun's trust, he will definitely work hard.

"So, sir, do you understand?" Gerry said kindly.

Lian Yun nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I understand!"

Gerry nodded with satisfaction, looked at the people wandering around the altar, and said, "Then, sir, shall we have everyone take some dry food back to the houses?"

Lian Yun, who was just about to slip away, suddenly became alert and almost forgot what he had just asked Aibei to prepare.

"No!" Lian Yun said loudly.

"To the tavern! I had Abe grill some giant frog legs for dinner!"

On the way to the tavern, Lian Yun and Lana walked side by side at the end of the group.

Seeing Lian Yun's tired expression, Lan Na couldn't help but say, "Why don't you go back and rest first, my Lord? You are too tired today."

Lian Yun shook his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "I'm very happy!"

"To be honest, I think it's quite interesting."

Gerry is both funny and serious, an interesting old man.

Although she couldn't understand his chatter, she still understood his good intentions.

Gerry is a good guy and genuinely wants the best for the town, and he can help himself a lot.

"That's good..."

Lian Yun's voice was filled with joy, but it inexplicably became smaller and smaller.

The next second, Lana was quick to catch Lian Yun who was falling backwards.

The author has something to say:

Gary (sternly): You need to be aware that issuing so many gold coins might have the following consequences...

Lian Yun (drowsy): It feels like I’m back in college.

!

I didn’t expect returning to my own world would be so easy!

Just take one of Gerry's classes!
