Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

A young bandit was passing by the entrance of the Hall of Righteousness when he heard the noise. He rushed over, bowing, and asked, "Boss, what are your orders?"

"Go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare a meal and deliver it to my little courtyard. Enough for six people."

"Yes!" the bandit replied, then turned and ran away.

Wu Feng turned and left the Hall of Righteousness, crossed the open space, and walked towards the innermost courtyard of the village.

On the way, they passed the training ground, where Mu Lingyun was introducing the situation in the village to several leaders. Upon seeing him, Mu Lingyun clasped his hands in a fist salute from afar.

Wu Feng waved his hand and turned to leave.

The courtyard gate was open. When he walked in, Li Qinglu was sitting next to the stone table with several sheets of paper spread out in front of her and writing something with a pen in her hand.

Mu Wanqing sat opposite them, and the two seemed to be checking something.

Ah Zi squatted down by the clump of bamboo in the corner and drew circles on the ground with a twig.

"Wu Lang." Li Qinglu raised her head, a smile on her face.

Mu Wanqing also called out "Young Master".

Azi jumped up from the ground, dusted off her skirt, and called out with a grin, "Young Master!"

Wu Feng nodded, sat down on the stone bench, and glanced at the two of them: "What are you busy with?"

"We're organizing today's warehouse inflow and outflow records." Li Qinglu handed over a few sheets of paper. "These were reported by Qian Wencai's side. We checked them over, and there are no discrepancies."

Wu Feng took it and glanced at it. The quantities of grain, timber, stone, and iron ingots were clearly written down.

He put the paper back and asked, "How are those intellectuals doing?"

Li Qinglu put down her pen, sat up straight, and said seriously, "Qian Wencai is really good at accounting. He managed all the material inflows and outflows today by himself, the numbers match up, and there were no mistakes. Sun Mingyuan is overseeing the construction. He arranged the upgrades to the logging camp and quarry today, and the progress is going well. Zhou Shuwen's private school is finished. It's in the row of houses next to the training ground, and it was just cleaned up this afternoon."

Mu Wanqing added from the side, "They're all very proactive. They've been busy since morning, and I haven't seen them slacking off."

Wu Feng nodded.

Being proactive is a good thing, but a newcomer's proactiveness doesn't necessarily stem from loyalty; it could also be out of fear.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "What did Zhou Shuwen say about the private school?"

Li Qinglu pulled out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and said, "He said classes can start tomorrow. He'll teach the villagers to read first."

Wu Feng nodded after listening.

He did find that studying at a private school could improve his comprehension.

After all, his comprehension was largely improved through reading.

Those bandits in the village are illiterate; they can't even read a notice. It would be good to teach them.

He asked a few more questions—about the progress of the training grounds and the shift schedule at the watchtowers. Li Qinglu and Mu Wanqing answered them one by one.

The two gave a very detailed report.

It was all clearly stated which people were doing what, what stage each building was at, and how much stuff was left in the warehouse.

After listening, Wu Feng had a general understanding.

Having more people definitely makes things easier.

He used to be in charge of everything himself, and he had to keep an eye on everything.

Now things are much better. There are people in charge of internal affairs, people overseeing construction, and people conducting patrols. He only needs to grasp the general direction.

Just then, footsteps came from the courtyard gate.

Wu Xingyun, dressed in white, walked in.

She glanced at the group of people, then walked to the stone table and sat down.

Li Qinglu greeted her, and Wu Xingyun nodded.

Not long after, two more people entered through the gate—the old cook from the kitchen, accompanied by an assistant, carrying a tray.

Braised pork belly, stewed chicken, steamed fish, stir-fried greens, cold black fungus salad, a large bowl of egg drop soup, a dish of peanuts, and a plate of braised beef.

Six bowls of rice, chopsticks set out.

The old cook bowed slightly: "Master, the dishes are ready."

Wu Feng nodded, and the old cook and his helpers left.

"Eat up." Wu Feng picked up his chopsticks.

The group started eating, and halfway through, Wu Feng put down his chopsticks and glanced at the others.

"Make arrangements for tomorrow, gather everyone together, and have a meeting."

Li Qinglu looked up: "What kind of meeting?"

"Let's divide up the responsibilities in the village," Wu Feng said. "Now that there are more people and more things to do, it won't work if everything is mixed up. Let's decide who is in charge of what. From now on, each person will be responsible for their own area, and if anything goes wrong, we'll find the specific person in charge."

Mu Wanqing nodded. Li Qinglu also nodded.

Wu Xingyun didn't say anything, picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks, and chewed it slowly.

With her mouth full of food, Azi mumbled, "Young master, what am I doing?"

Wu Feng glanced at her: "Go to Liuhe Town tomorrow and buy some things. I'll tell you what to buy later."

Azi nodded hurriedly, almost choking on her food. She coughed twice, and her face turned red.

Wu Feng picked up the bowl, ate the last few mouthfuls of rice, put down his chopsticks, and wiped his mouth with a cloth.

"Alright, everyone, go back and rest now that you've eaten. We have things to do tomorrow."

Li Qinglu stood up, gathered the papers on the table, and returned to the main room with Mu Wanqing.

Azi ran into the side room, closed the door, and the light inside came on.

Wu Xingyun put down the bowl, stood up, glanced at Wu Feng, turned and left the courtyard, heading towards the separate wooden house next door.

Wu Feng sat by the stone table for a while, waiting for the kitchen staff to come and collect the dishes, before getting up and returning to his main room.

After finishing his meal, Wu Feng returned to his room.

He walked to the bedside and sat down. With a slight thought, the game interface unfolded before his eyes.

Log out with a tap of your fingertip.

A flash of white light, and the hatch slowly slid open.

Wu Feng opened his eyes, sat up, and jumped out of the game pod, using the edge as leverage.

My joints cracked twice when my feet landed.

He stretched his shoulders, picked up his phone and keys from the table, and went out the door.

After leaving the villa, we walked along the main road towards the cafeteria.

There weren't many people on the street, only the cool night breeze and the dim yellow light of the streetlights.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the cafeteria.

There weren't many people inside, just a few scattered tables.

I went to the food counter, grabbed a tray, ordered two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and three bowls of rice, and found a seat by the window.

They ate and drank their fill in just over ten minutes.

After finishing your meal, return the tray to the recycling area and leave the cafeteria.

I took out my phone, found Professor Zhang's number, and dialed it.

"Wu Feng? What's wrong?" Professor Zhang's voice came through the receiver, tinged with doubt.

"We discovered something new today," Wu Feng said as they walked. "After establishing a stronghold, it seems we can recruit other bandits. Professor Zhang, if you want to expand, you can give it a try."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Professor Zhang's voice rang out again, his tone much more serious: "Understood, I understand this surrender function. We will study it carefully."

Wu Feng replied, "Okay, then you guys do the research."

"Okay. Be careful over there too."

Wu Feng grunted in agreement and hung up the phone.

He put his phone in his pocket and turned to walk back.

Back at the villa, I went up to the second floor and into the bathroom.

I stood there with my eyes closed for a while as the hot water came down.

After showering, I dried myself off and changed into a clean T-shirt.

I walked up to the game pod, opened the hatch, and lay down inside.

The hatch slowly closed, and a faint blue light seeped out from the edges.

A feeling of weightlessness came over me, everything went black, and then a flash of white light appeared.

Wu Feng opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
