In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar!

"Haha, don't worry, I'll write you a letter of recommendation."

Tina was amused by Wang Yan's bow, and quickly got up, waved his hand, and helped Wang Yan up.

"However, rather than writing a letter of recommendation for Senior Farusan, I think the more pressing issue for you right now is how to get to Sumeru City."

Tina's tone was laced with sarcasm.

At this moment, he no longer had much of a guard up against Wang Yan.

After several tests, Wang Yan hadn't encountered any major problems, and his identity was safe.

"Uh..." Wang Yan was taken aback and showed a hint of embarrassment.

Yes, how do we get there?

Wang Yan is currently not only penniless, but also completely powerless.

The journey from Daocheng Forest to Xumi City is not the three-minute trip depicted in the game.

Based on Amir and his companions' experience of leading themselves out of the rainforest, no matter how close the distance, it would still take a day to walk there, or even several days, or even ten days or half a month.

For an ordinary person, walking in the wilderness of Teyvat for so long would be somewhat dangerous.

Even if there are man-made roads, the danger posed by monsters cannot be ignored.

There are also daily quests that occasionally include rescuing cargo slime balloons.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yan looked at Tina Li and asked, "Is anyone from Huacheng Guo planning to go to Xumi City recently?"

Wang Yan's solution was to hitch a ride with a caravan.

Following the main group to Sumeru City will definitely reduce the danger.

"Haha, it seems we're on the same page," Tina said with a laugh. "In a couple of days, the fruit and vegetable merchants from Huacheng Guo will be transporting a batch of fruits and vegetables to Xumi City. I can help you put in a word with them and ask them to take you along."

Wang Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Really? That's wonderful, thank you, Tinari."

Tina waved her hand: "No need to thank me. This only solves one problem for you. The real problem is, you have no money. How will you survive in Sumeru City?"

Yeah? How do you survive?

Wang Yan never expected that a transmigrator with a cheat system would end up in a situation where even a penny can stump a hero.

He could only brazenly look at Tinari and ask, "Does Sumeru City need any ancient text translation work?"

In the end, Wang Yan was too embarrassed to directly ask Tina Li for money.

He was just thinking that since Tinari had already helped introduce Farusan and arranged the caravan, it wouldn't hurt to introduce her to another job. What difference would it make how much of a favor he owed her?

"Haha, you're quite the gentleman," Tinari said with a laugh, but he didn't seem to mind. "There are jobs available for translating classical texts, but they're mostly monopolized by scholars of the Epistemological School. If you want to make a living from this, you'll probably have to be quite competitive."

Wang Yan's eyes lit up: "As long as I have this job, that's fine."

"Since you're confident, I'll write you another letter of recommendation. After you go to Sumeru City, go to Menakali's shop and find Khalid. If you can pass his test, he'll give you a similar job," Tinari said with a smile.

Menakali Shop? Khalid?

Wang Yan had some recollection of him; he seemed to be a merchant with the Grass Seal in Sumeru City.

Unexpectedly, the other party also runs a business translating classical Chinese texts.

"Thank you so much, Tinari, I owe you a huge favor!" Wang Yan said gratefully.

Tina shook her head, her big ears twitching: "No need for thanks. Just teach Cole more when you have free time in the future."

"Haha, Ke Lai is very smart, but her foundation is weak. It won't be long before she catches up," Wang Yan said with a smile.

It's a compliment, but also the truth.

Cole is indeed very smart.

When she was a child, she was able to wander alone in Mondstadt, whereas other children would probably have starved to death.

Therefore, Cole's apparent stupidity is just a facade; in reality, she is very intelligent.

"Yes, I think so too." Tinari accepted Wang Yan's assessment of Kolei, and then said, "The caravan will be heading to Sumeru City in two days. If you'd like, there's some paperwork at the ranger camp that you can help with. I'll pay you according to the clerk's salary."

After a pause, Tinali looked at Wang Yan: "It's basically about reconciling accounts, training, and forest patrol arrangements. You should be able to handle that, right?"

Don't kindly recommend a job, only to find that Wang Yan can't do it.

"Of course, I can handle simple paperwork," Wang Yan quickly replied.

Having worked in a company before, I know that clerical work is a basic skill.

"Haha, that's good. With your help, I can relax a bit these next couple of days," Tinari laughed.

Even the highest-ranking forest ranger has moments when he wants to slack off.

When you're being lazy, you can still do someone a favor, so why not?

"Hey, Master Tinari, Mr. Wang Yan, it's lunchtime. Would you two like something to eat? I'll make it."

Cole walked in from outside and called out happily.

Perhaps in her mind, this was just her master and friends coming to visit.

"Thank you very much, Ke Lai. I'm not picky about food." Wang Yan was already short of money, so he was content with just having something to eat.

Tinari spoke up, saying, "Let's make some stew."

"Okay, I'll go get it right away," Cole said with a smile.

Wang Yan wanted to get up and help Cole, but before he could speak, Tinali continued, "Let Cole do her own work. She rarely has the opportunity to do this much work before."

Before being cured of the Demon Scales, Cole was weak and needed to rest frequently, even with the training of a ranger.

Therefore, for Cole, cooking is actually a very enjoyable activity now.

Because she can move around freely without worrying about suddenly feeling unwell.

"That's great," Wang Yan exclaimed.

Tina smiled and said, "After she recovered, Seno... oh, I mean, the Grand Disciplinarian of the Faith Council, and I took Cole to Mondstadt. She met her old friends and made some new ones, which made Cole's personality much more cheerful."

He also thinks that Cole is really good now.

"Let's continue talking about your situation," Tinari steered the conversation back on track. "With my letter of recommendation, if all goes well, you can resolve many issues such as finding a job, enrolling in school, and finding a mentor, but that doesn't mean you've already succeeded."

Tina's tone became more serious: "Although under the instructions of Lord Little Lucky Grass King, the atmosphere of the Order Academy has gradually become more open and the academic atmosphere is very good, this also means that the competition is becoming increasingly fierce."

Mount Sumeru is vast and rich in resources.

But is it really possible to distribute the burden equally among every scholar? That's clearly impossible.

Therefore, once Wang Yan joins the Academy of Teachings, he will naturally have to face the situation of competing for academic resources.

However, this is not something to worry about for Wang Yan, since he has already lost everything, and things can't get any worse, right?

"Don't worry, as long as it's fair competition, I'm not afraid." Wang Yan grinned, showing a bit of confidence.

"Hmm, good spirits, very good," Tinari praised with a smile.

The two chatted for a while about the details of the Order Academy, from which Wang Yan benefited greatly.

The two only stopped talking when Cole called for dinner.
