Chapter 782 Welcome to join, Vilia

"I want to be your assistant. You will give me 70 seashells every week, right?"

The girl looked at him hopefully.

Tina also looked at the little girl in front of her.

She was about 1.4 meters tall and probably about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her eyebrows and eyes had not yet fully grown. She had clear eyes like a small animal and her chestnut hair was hidden in her hood.

The girl's tender and thin body looked malnourished. She was wearing a rough and ill-fitting brown linen robe. She was definitely not a local Yao child.

"Do you know what my assistant is going to do?"

Tina crossed her legs and continued to read the newspaper in her hand.

She had no prejudice against children from other places, but she had a lot to teach them. She just wanted an assistant who could help her, not an apprentice who she had to waste a lot of her time teaching.

The thin girl said, "I heard them read the notice board outside, saying that you need to hire an assistant to make models for you. I can do it. I can carve wood, make pottery, stack stones, repair houses, make bows, stools and tables."

Tina looked at the other person and said, "Do you know what applied mathematics is?"

"have no idea."

"Very honestly, you see the table in the corner. That was the workbench of my former assistant. It was piled with wood, clay, bamboo pieces, some metal parts, and some chisels, hammers, rulers and other small tools. Now go there and make me a model house that is 10 centimeters high and 8 centimeters wide. It should have two rooms, facing south and north, and there should also be a bathroom. Don't seal the roof."

Tina took out the silver-plated mechanical pocket watch from her pocket and said, "The time is 2 hours. This is your test to be an assistant."

The child immediately took action after hearing this.

Tina drank honey water while reading the newspaper and took a look at it in her spare time.

The girl's fingers were deft and steady. She quickly collected the materials one by one, screened out the useful parts, and began to make them. She kept the longer nails on her thumb and index finger, and used the scratches on her nails as a marking tool, which was in the style of an old-fashioned craftsman.

If you look closely, you can see that there are many tiny wounds on her fingers, which are rough and strong, and are the hands of a worker who has been working with various tools for a long time.

Tina likes it very much.

Two hours later, the girl completed a house model made of clay and bamboo strips.

It is not exquisite and beautiful, but it meets the actual living needs. For example, she specially made the foundation, and used thin bamboo strips woven into the wall as internal support, which has a good earthquake resistance and support effect.

Just from this, it can be seen that the other party does have actual construction and building experience.

He is obviously just a child of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Tina adjusted her glasses and looked at the somewhat nervous and awkward girl: "What's your name?"

"Veliya, Miss, my name is Veliya."

"From now on, call me Teacher Tina."

"Yes, Teacher Tina...ah? Am I hired?"

"certainly."

Tina smiled and said, "Welcome aboard, Vilia."

She raised her slender index finger. "The rule here is that assistants are paid 70 seashells per week, and normally they will last for 3 to 4 months. I am engaged in the teaching and design of architecture in applied mathematics, so I need to make a lot of models for verification, most of which are your work. The working hours are from 8 am to 8 pm every day. It is very hard. Can you accept it?"

“Yes!” Vilia seemed to be relieved, with a grateful smile on her face: “Thank you, Teacher Tina!”

Tina is an ordinary lecturer at Yancheng [College of Engineering and Architecture]. Although the school sounds very similar to the famous [College of Engineering], it is completely different.

The School of Engineering and Architecture is just a very small new school, built on a piece of wasteland outside Yancheng, and the students it can receive are actually quite poor. The only advantage is probably that the infrastructure is not bad, even the offices of ordinary lecturers are independent single rooms.

Tina pointed to the water-shaking platform next to her and motioned for Vilia to wash the mud and sawdust off her hands.

The girl didn't know how to use it and felt a little awkward standing beside the small square table.

While washing her hands, Tina told her, "This thing uses water elements to atomize and rotate. You can think of it as a gentle miniature tornado. It will form when you pull the lever next to it. This is also a daily application of the [Magic Box Garden] and is related to our architectural design. We must design the water pipes they need."

The girl put her hand in the pool and saw the mist slowly swirling around, taking away the dirt between her fingers. A slight surprise appeared on her face: "That's amazing."

Tina asked her: "Where are you from? Do your parents know that you are here to help me?"

"I... am from Oak Town in Dagus. My mother is sick and can only lie in bed. She can't walk, so my brother carried her all the way to the Yao Clan World for treatment. I came here with my brother. The sanatorium in Yao City was full, so we came here... My brother knew that I came here to work."

Vilia told her story.

"Yeah. It's not easy. Work hard, Vilia. The doctors in Yancheng are no worse than those next door, they're just not as famous as them."

Tina suddenly thought: "Then Weilia, haven't you ever read a book?"

"No, there is no school in Oak Town..."

Vilia quickly added: "But I have learned from many old hunters and craftsmen, and I will definitely be able to complete the work you give me."

Tina gently scratched her long hair with her hands.

She just felt regretful.

It's a pity that a child with such strong hands-on ability has never learned the relevant basic knowledge.

"You can read the books on my bookshelf here, but you can't take them out. However, some books are written in the Yao language, and some are written in the languages ​​of Zhulu Country and the Ghost Realm... The Mint for Refreshing Brain can't help you."

"Thank you! I can read pictures, I understand!"

Tina nodded. She walked to the door and grabbed the coat on the hanger: "Let's go, get to work, Vilia."

"Yes! Teacher."

After going out, Tina drove Vilia all the way to a small town in the north and stopped next to a construction site where hammering and banging were going on.

She grabbed a helmet from the back seat of the car and put it on, then took out a smaller one and put it on Vilia.

"This is also part of the job. How can you know what model to make without going to the site? It's just that the dust is a little big, but you'll get used to it."

Vilia looked excited.

Tina saw that the girl's eyes stopped on the tall and heavy skeleton frame cart - the device supported the high frame, slowly lifted the stones and wood below, and then placed and connected them...

"It's really amazing... the city of the Yao people." The little girl's face was full of envy: "It would be great if we had such a car in our town, then everyone would have a house to live in."

Tina put her hands in her pockets and said, "It should be soon. The biggest problem with [Dages] is that there are magic wells everywhere. We need to conduct a comprehensive survey and eliminate hidden dangers. Otherwise, we dare not carry out large-scale construction. The Yao tribe is dealing with it... It's a matter of time."

My pocket suddenly felt swollen and cold.

She grabbed a crystal wrapped in a copper shell and hung it on her ear like an earring: "What's wrong?"

The annoying voice of the dean came from the other end: "Tina, why are you firing the assistant again? The students in the school can't stand you. Who would be willing to be your assistant if you are so demanding? Be patient, young people all need some time to get used to each other."

"Did that guy come to you and cry?"

Tina said nonchalantly, "You can't keep speaking for him just because he's your nephew, right? He sends me flowers every day, says weird things, and doesn't dress like he's going to a construction site... I don't have time to deal with an outsider. I said, I'm only interested in construction and making money."

“…”

"Okay, I'm busy."

Tina put away the Wind Mother and looked at Vilia next to her. The young assistant was still concentrating on watching the rise and fall, digging, turning and moving of the skeleton frame vehicle, which reminded Tina of her childhood.

No.

When I was this age, I wasn't as hassle-free as Vilia.

At that time, I was still looking for vampires, dark descendants and dragon descendants to fall in love with.

But those short-term lovers couldn't stand Tina's dating hobbies, such as visiting construction sites, making models as tall as themselves and keeping them at home, and watching large trucks under construction.

whispering sound.

They are all tasteless guys.

…

Tina admires Vilia as her little assistant.

She is serious, careful and hardworking. She never cuts corners and strives to make every model strong and reliable enough.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It just doesn't look good in an aesthetic sense.

Vilia said: "There are frequent earthquakes and magic well eruptions in Dagoth, so whether the house is built on a tree or on the ground, it must be sturdy first. This is how Dagoth builders of all generations have been. I don't know how to change it..."

"It's okay, just leave it like this. Dagus style is not bad either."

But Tina still needs some repairs later.

The Yao world is not Dagus, and the people of Yancheng are notoriously picky about houses. If the designed model is not good-looking, neither the builder's business nor the buyer will be satisfied.

If I can’t sell it, I won’t get paid for architectural design, and everything will be meaningless.

Today, the Tombstone City in the Ghost Realm is the first choice for undead residents to build houses, and they have also begun to further explore and challenge the living market. The core black tombstone technology and cemeteries they have mastered can be easily transformed into single-family houses and gardens of various styles, bringing huge pressure to construction companies everywhere.

As an architect, Tina had to consider practicality.

…

The project did not go smoothly.

Tina kneaded the clay in her hands, which helped her relax a little.

The goal of the cooperating business this time is to build high-quality houses, targeting some wealthy groups, so there are very high requirements for house construction.

The key point is that there are not many flat terrains available around Yancheng. The land they got is next to the mountains to the west and needs to be built against the mountain.

Tina had already cursed countless times in her heart.

This bastard business saved money by getting cheap construction land, and put all the pressure on itself. The requirements include: giving the homeowners a brand new feeling, making them think that this is a deliberate backing to the mountains and close to nature, but also having its own logo and style, not feeling cheap...

"If it's Miss Tina, she will definitely be able to do it." They said with a smile.

Tina scratched her hair, feeling a little annoyed.

She inadvertently noticed that there was an unfamiliar house model on Vilia's workbench.

The model was a tree house. Unlike the usual light and simple tree houses in the forest, this tree trunk was extremely wide, supporting a spacious tree house with a large area. The house seemed to be carved out of the tree.

Only in the unique environment of Dagoth, with its mountain-like giant trees, can such a building be constructed.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Tina's mind.

Yes, it is entirely possible to transform that half of the mountain into the shape of a giant tree!

In this way, the originally barren mountain has been transformed into a new high-end environment, with natural wonder mansions like tree houses built around the hillside, which is completely in the style of Dagus, and the surrounding land can be further appreciated.

Tina thought it over and confirmed that there was no problem.

She immediately communicated with the business through [Wind Mother].

The big businessman said in that hypocritical and exaggerated tone: "As expected of Miss Tina! We are going to have a big sale this time! Please make the drawings and models as soon as possible! Waiting for your good news! When the time comes, we will celebrate your success with the best mead and a banquet!"

Let go of the Wind Mother.

Tina sipped on Vilia's face: "Well done, Vilia! Come on, I'll take you to eat barbecue!"

The young assistant who was making clay figures didn't react in time. When she saw the teacher grabbing her clothes and walking out, she quickly said "oh", wiped her hands and followed.

…

"Yancheng's signature Dulu beast barbecue, with some Qi seaweed powder, is a delicacy that you must try. Dulu beast is also working here now, after all, it is the attraction of Lord Yaoshen."

Tina used a clamp to flip the meat over on the back of the Dulu beast. The metal monster lay there quietly and obediently, opening its mouth wide to chew on the hay and charcoal in front of it.

She handed the roasted meat to him and said, "Sprinkle some coarse salt produced in Yancheng on it and try it."

Weilia took a small bite of the sizzling meat, then swallowed it all: "It's delicious..."

Tina smiled and said, "This plate of premium beef costs 120 seashells."

"!"

The young assistant was shocked: "How expensive!"

"It's okay, it's my treat, eat more." Tina waved her hand generously: "You helped a lot this time. After the plan and design are implemented, you will have a dividend. I won't deduct it."

"Thank you, teacher. You are such a kind person..." With a grateful look on her face, Vilia whispered, "Can I pack some barbecue to take home?"

"Of course, but let's grill it at the end. It tastes better when it's hot."

Tina then said, "I saw you were making dolls before, do you like making dolls?"

"Yes, the figurines can be sold!" Velia said happily, "As long as they are baked in a magic bottle and a little rune is added... the figurines can even swing swords. Many people like them very much. One figurine can be sold for 3 seashells!"

A pottery man swinging a sword? Tina said casually, "Then show me when you get back."

"good."

At this time, Tina had no idea that it was completely different from the pottery figure she had imagined.

…

In the small house made of clay, branches and bamboo, there stood a clay doll as tall as Velia. The doll's body was made up of pieces of pottery, and it gently waved the wooden sword in its hand, its movements mechanically, over and over again.

Tina realized it immediately.

There's something wrong with the clay figurine in front of me.

It is made up of individual parts, and wielding a wooden sword is a manifestation of extraordinary strength.

It was a spell fixed on pottery.
