Chapter 901

"Thank you, big brother, for doing all this for our village."

Ning Chen couldn't help but look over; this child, so young, was unusually sensible, yet his earnestness was heartbreakingly touching.

"No need to thank me. It's still early—hurry home, or your family will worry."

The child nodded, then sprinted off in one direction.

But as he ran, he turned back once more to look at Ning Chen.

"Good big brother, my name is Xiang Yang. Grandpa said we must always move toward the light."

Ning Chen waved at him, suddenly realizing how petty and unlikable his earlier moods had been.

Though he missed Si Shiya, there was no need to keep showing it.

It made everyone think he was utterly fragile.

Thinking this, he turned back, ready to return to his previous spot.

Just then, the sun rose in the east, and the first morning light fell upon Ning Chen's face.

【At this moment, as a boy, why did I feel my heart stir?】

【Cunning little Ling, what scheme are you up to?】

【Pfft hahaha, to be fair, this scene really is beautiful—I can't explain why, but Ning Chen seems reborn.】

【Why are you talking so mystically?】

Just as Xiang Yang needs the sun, he too should move toward the light.

Lin Yi paced back and forth inside the house, unsure how to ease Ning Chen's mood.

When he looked back in that direction again, he found Ning Chen had already walked back toward him.

He opened the door instinctively.

Ning Chen had come in too, but his expression seemed unchanged.

"Are you okay?"

At Lin Yi's question, Ning Chen instinctively shook his head.

I'm fine.

"We can't stay here any longer—we start construction today. I've already picked the spot; now we need to find workers."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Lin Yi froze.

Just moments ago he looked furious and humiliated.

How could he have changed so suddenly?

Before Lin Yi could react, Ning Chen had already pulled him out of the house.

"Can we just leave like this? Won't the village chief think we're running away?"

Pfft!

To be fair, Lin Yi had thought of everything—if they vanished suddenly, the village chief would surely feel the emptiness of the abandoned house.

"Leave a note on the door. Then when the village chief comes, he'll see it."

【These two are as clueless as idiots—their behavior is hilarious.】

【They're going to be swamped with work—so many things piled up, they'll probably collapse from exhaustion.】

【Maybe when they're actually doing it, they won't feel tired anymore.】

Ning Chen drove away with Lin Yi.

They were going to find the tools they needed.

The site had been chosen; now they needed people to build it.

"Do you have blueprints? We don't even have blueprints yet—are you in such a hurry?"

Ning Chen reached behind him—and a draft appeared before Lin Yi.

Huh?

Lin Yi froze; he'd never seen this thing before.

How could it suddenly appear here?

Ghosts!

Thinking this, he opened the draft.

Simultaneously, a model of a school appeared before him.

"In just one night, where did you get this?"

"Or have you planned to build a school all along—carrying this with you the whole time?"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Ning Chen shook his head.

How could he have precognition?

He just had a damn powerful system.

Seeing Ning Chen wouldn't answer, Lin Yi stopped pressing.

Soon, the two arrived in the city center.

Finding workers at the labor market was easy.

By noon, they'd hired people for every needed field.

They then hired a vehicle to take them back to the village.

【Ning Chen's efficiency is insane—he's already gotten so much done.】

【True—if I'd been in charge with my procrastination, these kids wouldn't be in school for another year or two.】

【Ding! Good person badge.】

【Can you stop joking? But Ning Chen really is a good person—and a rich one at that.】

That's right.

The things or people they got this time will cost a great deal.

And Did Ning Chen didn't hesitate at all.

Very soon, everything was prepared.

And now they were ready to start work.

It's just that today it seemed impossible to begin, since they had already wasted the whole morning.

Even if they started work, there was no such thing as starting in the afternoon.
