Strategy game? Then I'll have to control you properly.

Lin Miao smiled to herself, thinking: Everyone says that pretty pastries taste better, so they're definitely better than a square box house.

Linmiao brought Maureen to a vast plain and began to switch blocks to build all sorts of structures.

Houses, bridges, churches... buildings of all kinds of uses and styles, though seemingly clumsy, steadily took shape in his hands.

Maureen, who was about to leave to work as an architect instead of just a porter, was watching his every move intently.

Lin Miao stopped the character's movement, tilted her head at Mo Lin, as if asking: Can you understand it?

Lin Miao thought to herself: If only they could see this guide video that even beginners can quickly master, but this is all they can do for now.

Seeing Maureen frantically reciting something and constantly counting the number of bricks, Lin Miao suddenly realized that there were still items in the game that could be provided to them.

Lin Miao couldn't help but curse in her heart: I'm so stupid.

His biggest mistake was focusing solely on solving the problem of food and clothing.

There are actually a lot of items that can be crafted and combined in this game, and paper made from sugarcane is one of them.

When he shoved bundles of paper and pens from the workbench and handed them to Maureen, she took them with a blank expression.

Lin Miao decided to sketch the building under construction on a piece of paper.

It was at this moment, watching them use their fingers to count the number of bricks, that he realized this ethnic group didn't have a proper writing system at all.

It's unclear whether the entire tribe truly lacked a written language, or if only Maureen, the "illiterate," was illiterate. But upon closer reflection, even the chieftain Attila seemed to have never used a written language.

Lin Miao thought to herself: It would be much more convenient if there were written language.

While this is a self-evident idea, if they had a written system, their efficiency would be greatly improved, enabling them to quickly and systematically transmit knowledge and share information more efficiently with teammates who cannot log into the game.

[Recommended Chinese Input Method Program]

At that very moment, as if reading Lin Miao's mind, a recommendation program suddenly appeared on the screen.

This completely unexpected recommendation left Lin Miao momentarily speechless.

As Maureen wandered around the small house under construction, drawing and muttering the number of bricks, the system suddenly recommended a program for practicing Chinese typing, as if implying that using this program could solve the current problem.

Lin Miao hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself: There shouldn't be any loss, right?

So far, the referral program he activated has never caused him any harm.

Although it's unclear what specific changes will occur during the activation process, it's definitely worth a try.

In the end, Lin Miao activated the program on the spot.

Injecting text into a target audience via typing

Sure enough, the typing software affected by the system has mutated.

As soon as Lin Miao started it, a prompt message suddenly popped up on the screen asking her to select a target: Click with the mouse to select the target object.

Lin Miao naturally chose the tribal chief Attila first. Since he could only choose two people, he hesitated for a moment and then added Lillie to the list as well.

Anyway, if this text is to be spread, someone has to teach it to others. This will help them establish their authority, so let's just put this father and daughter in charge.

Lin Miao stared at the typing interface, wondering to herself: Is this really all there is to it?

Next, the typing program started him practicing typing.

Just as this type of software was originally intended: to improve typing speed by repeatedly typing large numbers of words and sentences.

So Lin Miao tried typing, after all, she was quite confident in her typing speed, even though this speed was actually a chat skill she had developed in online games, rather than being cultivated by proper typing software.

Watching her typing speed steadily increase, Lin Miao continued to tap on the keyboard, thinking to herself: It's been a long time since I've played this game, it's quite interesting. Surely the system wouldn't recommend a solution that would harm them.

So, when he found Attila and Lillie writhing on the ground in agony, it was after he had been typing away on his keyboard for quite some time.

That event happened so suddenly, in an instant when no one was expecting it, leaving no room for resistance.

Attila, who was chatting with the tribespeople, suddenly widened his eyes, as if a force swept through his entire body.

But this strange feeling only lasted for a moment, and then Attila felt a sharp pain in his head and his vision began to spin.

The tribespeople surrounding him were horrified to see Attila staggering, clutching his head, and cried out in alarm, "Chief!" "What's wrong?!"

Everyone rushed forward to support his swaying body, but Attila's reaction became more intense. He let out painful whimpers, blinked his eyes repeatedly, and struggled desperately.

The words that appeared before Attila did not disappear; instead, they seeped deeper into his mind like termites.

In the midst of excruciating pain, Attila instantly realized: This is an oracle!

He had experienced something similar when he first learned the name of his tribe from the guardian spirit through the words that appeared in the sky.

At that time, Attila, who had gained the power of programming, was also able to read and understand unfamiliar texts.

The same is true now, except that unlike before when there was only one word, now there are far too many words pouring in.

Despite the excruciating pain, Attila addressed his panicked tribesmen, saying, "I'm alright... This is a divine revelation bestowed upon me!"

His worried people became agitated when they heard him mention the gods.

With a furrowed brow and a splitting headache, Attila began to write something on the ground with his druid staff.

Carved in the mud was his own name, sacred words that only he could understand at that moment.

Despite the excruciating pain of his brain being forcibly bombarded with information, Attila still managed a smile, thinking to himself: "It truly is His blessing; this allows us to take another step forward..."

But the next second, a cry of alarm rang out, "Chief!" Attila's body had reached its limit, and the sudden influx of massive amounts of information caused his brain to completely shut down.

The surrounding clansmen hurriedly supported him as he collapsed, foaming at the mouth, and cries of alarm arose from all sides.

As Attila's consciousness faded, the last thing he saw was a clear blue sky with the word "Sky" written on it.

At the same time Attila collapsed, Lillie, who was waiting in the village and training alone, also fell into a coma due to the same symptoms.

The two regained consciousness that afternoon.

Upon learning that they were in the same situation, the father and daughter exchanged a bitter smile, while recalling the knowledge that had been forcibly implanted into their minds.

Attila looked at Lillie, his voice filled with shock and joy: "Writing, we have obtained writing, writing bestowed by the gods."

At this moment, he can express everything he sees in words, and it is easy for him to combine beautiful phrases according to the rules.

It was like a dream. For them, written language was as rare and precious as a distant castle. Even the few who could read and write were learning the language of the inhabitants outside the high walls.

Of course, there are also people in the tribe who think, "That thing is useless; what's important is being able to hunt and fight."

But at least Attila was convinced that if things could be recorded in writing, ruling the tribes would be much easier.

Attila immediately made up his mind: "I must teach the written language to others."

As the clan leader, he even planned to share this special knowledge with his clansmen.

He could have taught it only to a specific class and kept it all to himself, but he had no intention of doing so.

Because this was not something they developed or seized; it was purely a gift from the gods. To monopolize something given by the gods would surely incur divine punishment—this was an unquestionable common sense on the grasslands.

Lillie immediately spoke up: "Leave the teaching to me, you must be very busy, right?"

Attila shook his head and said, "If that lord doesn't summon me, I won't be that busy. In that case, I might as well take that time to clear my mind and get some rest."

Attila proposed that he take charge of the literacy instruction. Although Lillie offered to help, Attila felt that they had the time and it was better for each of them to focus on their own tasks.

Attila looked at Lillie and said earnestly, "You are a knight, someone who fights against enemies. Just keep that in mind. Only then will you be safe."

Lillie remained silent, not refuting her father's words, because he was not wrong.

Attila looked at the scroll in his hand, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips. He murmured, "It seems that the revelation bestowed upon us by that great man was not in vain."

Lillie looked at him with some confusion: "Huh?"

Not long after, Maureen, who had learned several building methods from the game world, handed the scrolls of paper and pen she had received to Attila.

Attila, upon receiving the scrolls, instinctively felt that they could create something that would complement their growing military strength and enrich their inner selves.

But the peaceful time did not last long, and they faced a new crisis.

Just as dinner ended, a tense atmosphere suddenly began to permeate the peaceful village.

Several fully armed sentries on duty were suddenly pulled into the sky by an invisible force.

Where they were taken, no one knew except that they were being taken westward.

A villager, looking at the empty sentry post, cried out in alarm, "Emergency!"

People immediately gathered around, asking, "Huh?! What happened?!"

Of course, apart from the newly joined members, this is already commonplace for the long-time residents.

They all knew that this was simply the guardian deity using its ability to see the invisible to discover something and leading everyone there.

Attila immediately shouted, "Lillie!"

Lillie hastily donned her armor, a look of sudden realization appearing on her face. The moment she grabbed her sword, this powerful woman, hailed as the tribe's foremost swordsman, was also pulled into the sky by an invisible force.

She calmly nodded to her astonished companions and turned her gaze westward.

Judging from the fact that no abnormalities have been observed in the immediate vicinity, the incident must have occurred in a more distant location.

In the blink of an eye, Lillie landed. The group, who had been teleported to a controllable area, were shocked to see a horde of enemies surging towards them.

Those familiar centipede-like monsters were crawling close to them, close to the ground.

[LV3 Fault Component]

These centipede-like monsters, the size of tigers, pounced on their prey as soon as they spotted it.

Lillie drew her sword and charged to the front. With a flash of cold light, she beheaded the first enemy who was in her path.

She sharply warned her companions behind her, "Watch out for Venom!"

The liquid dripping from the centipede's venomous fangs instantly corroded and killed any wild grass it touched.

At the same time, the golden light emanating from her body completely purified the toxins carried by the malfunctioning entity.

After a fierce battle, Lillie sheathed her sword and said in a deep voice, "They're all taken care of. Fortunately, it seems that the boss-level monsters weren't among them."

Just then, shouts from nearby came: "There are wounded here!"

The others gritted their teeth and launched a siege, eliminating the numerous faulty entities one by one.

After all, a level 3 malfunctioning device is not difficult for skilled soldiers to deal with through coordinated attacks, yet wounded soldiers still appeared.

When Lillie ran over, a soldier who had been bitten by a centipede's fangs was clutching his blackened, festering leg and groaning in pain.

Lillie immediately pulled a small bottle from her bosom, handed it to him, and said, "Use this."

This is a healing potion she obtained from the game world, which she always carries with her.

When this all-purpose medicine, capable of healing all external and internal injuries, is dripped onto the wound, the toxins are truly purified and eliminated, and the bleeding stops instantly.

The wounded young soldier stared blankly at her, who had treated him with precious medicine, his voice filled with gratitude: "Th-thank you."

In the eyes of the soldiers, Lillie was indeed a remarkable figure.

She used priceless potions without reservation and purified the poisonous breath of evil monsters with divine power. Since obtaining the Oath of Gold and Stone, her golden magic, imbued with divinity, has further reinforced this impression.

The saintess, favored by the guardian deity, possessed a flawless, snow-white beauty that inspired awe in all who beheld her.

But at this moment, Lillie's attention was completely focused elsewhere.

She looked westward from where the centipede had crawled; a little further ahead lay the village where the Oren tribe had once lived.

Perhaps because of the great distance, she had a fundamental question: what would happen if the faulty and corrosive entities appeared in other regions?

The malfunctioning and corrosive entities she knew were terrifying monsters whose true forms were unknown, far surpassing even magical beasts.

Lillie murmured to herself, "The West is now under the rule of Patriarch Theodore. Have those monsters spread there already?"

These monsters would never look at raiders differently; monsters that even ferocious raiders see as prey are bound to clash with Theodore's forces.

Lillie, whose family and homeland have been taken by raiders, instinctively feels that the malfunctioning entities are more dangerous than the raiders.

After being selected again by the mouse and returning to the village, Lillie immediately told Attila her thoughts.

After hearing her account, Attila agreed with her and decided to launch an investigation immediately.

Attila nodded and said in a deep voice, "You're right. We must send scouts to confirm this at dawn. It's definitely worth investigating."

Lillie's doubts quickly turned into worries.

Lin Miao, who could sense this worry from outside the screen, also decided to investigate the source of the malfunction that had appeared in the West.

The next morning, Lin Miao woke up early and moved the mouse while recalling the events of the previous night.

He carefully recalled what happened last night and found it even stranger than he had expected.

First, the location of the malfunction is farther away than anywhere else in the past.

Even though the tribe had expanded its territory to a wider area than before, those malfunctioning entities appeared from even further away. Lin Miao even witnessed the whole process and personally escorted the residents to the crossroads.

Lin Miao frowned, thinking to herself: I still know too little about them.

Although the land where villages are located serves as a passageway to reality, and people gather there, it does not mean that they cannot go to other regions.

Humans live in other places too, and those guys could very well prey on them.

To confirm this, Lin Miao appointed Lillie as the reconnaissance captain, thinking that if something went wrong, it would be better to bring the strongest combat force.

Led by Lillie, he dragged a dozen scouts and landed in the most remote border region of the tribe.

Watching the group, who understood his intentions, cross the border and head towards the unknown territory, Lin Miao planned to synthesize things in his Minecraft world while continuously monitoring their reconnaissance activities.

Theodore's Realm (Pollution)

The moment the scene switched, the region name suddenly appeared on the screen.
