Chapter 227 -228: The Master of Gaia Video
“To leave a child untaught is the father’s fault.”
“To teach without strictness is the teacher’s laziness.”
The sound of reading was clear and resonant, easy to memorize.
The children’s pure, youthful voices, with their cadences and emphatic articulation, circled unceasingly above the small wooden house.
So it turned out that the sound of reading could be this pleasant, so lovely that one hesitated to move, fearing the disturbance it might cause to them.
Nian Shutong was also hearing such sounds for the first time, as if a highly accomplished monk was chanting sutras solely for her, sweeping the dust from the petals of her heart.
“Host, can Xiao Ba record this?”
“Um?”
Nian Shutong voiced her confusion with a question.
System Xiao Ba explained, “Xiao Ba likes this scene and wants to record it, then post a short video on Star Network.”
“Okay, just remember to keep our location confidential.”
“Don’t worry, Xiao Ba will.”
Xiao Ba chose only a shot of the school, with the surrounding scenery greatly diminished, focusing mainly on recording the children’s reading aloud.
Nian Shutong glanced at it briefly and, seeing no issues, agreed to Xiao Ba’s request to post the short video, but she suggested a name.
“Xiao Ba, call it Gaia.”
“Xiao Ba understands, Host wants to promote the planet.”
Nian Shutong hummed softly in agreement, indeed that was her intention.
Blue Star was so vast, merely three hundred people were far from enough. Yet she didn’t wish to expand too quickly. For now, use this account to build up popularity. Gaia was just a nickname, not widely known.
If it really became popular, it wouldn’t be too late to say it was Blue Star, and by then, her own strength would surely have increased.
Thinking this, Nian Shutong strode toward Fu Yunhe, who was standing at the doorway of the small wooden house.
“Xiao He, good morning.”
“Morning.”
Nian Shutong stood beside Fu Yunhe, pointing in the direction of the school, and said, “You should go to class too.”
“What will I teach?”
“Teach what you’re best at.”
What he was best at? Fighting? That was Fu Yunhe’s strongest suit.
“We should first test these children to see which areas of cultivation they’re best suited for.”
“Do we need to buy anything?” Nian Shutong asked with a knowing tilt of her head toward Fu Yunhe, prompting a light chuckle from him.
“We need to buy a testing machine, it’ll cost about One Million Star Coins.”
“Okay, buy it.”
Nian Shutong quickly agreed. She intended to nurture these children; the strength of a single person was never a long-term solution.
“Do you still have money?”
This was definitely the first time Nian Shutong had asked Fu Yunhe such a question.
Fu Yunhe was also surprised, albeit briefly, before answering, “Yes, my game has launched and it’s very popular.”
Nian Shutong looked at Fu Yunhe with great satisfaction and admiration, extending her hand straight out, insisting on patting his shoulder.
“Handsome, you must live a long, long life.”
Nian Shutong left behind this beautiful blessing and turned to leave.
She left Fu Yunhe alone, murmuring with an undecided smile, “It’s still the lure of making money that lasts.”
The clear sound of reading continued for another half an hour before coming to an end.
One by one, the children left the house to have their meal,
For breakfast, everyone had steamed buns with porridge and a bit of side dishes.
After a hearty meal, the adults went off to work: farming, pioneering new lands, and to the small workshops.
The children returned to the school to begin their next lesson.
This class was taught by Ji Sisi, who covered the most basic mechanical knowledge and brought many small parts for the children to disassemble by hand.
The lesson was lively and interesting, and the children cherished the opportunity to learn, listening with exceptional attentiveness.
Early in the morning, Elder Hua, who had been leading morning reading, had already stopped Nian Shutong.
“Mr. Nian, there are some parts of the Three Character Classic that I don’t quite understand.”

“You explain it to me.”
“I’m a teacher. If I can’t explain it, they won’t want to play with me anymore.”
The last thing Elder Hua said made Nian Shutong want to laugh, yet she held it back.
Although Elder Hua had lost his memory and had become like an old child, sometimes an old child is even harder to handle than a real child.
He understood a lot and knew exactly which words were meant to scare him and which were not.
So, Nian Shutong had to play the role of a stern “Eldest.”
“Where don’t you understand?”
Elder Hua pointed to the Three Character Classic and began to ask questions: “Who is Meng Mu?”
“Who is Dou Yanshan?”
“And who is Xiang Jiu?”
“Also, this ‘Rong at four years old,’ who does that refer to?”
Elder Hua’s series of questions left Nian Shutong a bit baffled; she hadn’t thought so much about it while she was copying it.
Now, she couldn’t just say it was some person, could she?
“I know, I’ll sort it out and bring it over to you in a bit.”
Nian Shutong felt she had brought on herself a hefty task.
“Then hurry up, otherwise I won’t have any confidence when I teach. Dou Dou has looked at me skeptically several times.”
Elder Hua said somewhat plaintively, even though he was obviously the teacher.
He always felt that teachers should be very formidable people.
Nian Shutong affirmed once more, not wasting any time, and headed straight back to the small wooden house.
Just as she reached the door, she was called by Fu Yunhe from behind.
“What’s up?”
Fu Yunhe, seeing the obviously anxious Nian Shutong, still decided to talk to her about it, feeling that making money was absolutely the most important thing.
“Someone wants to buy strawberries—it’s someone Yu Zeming knows.”
Nian Shutong stood in place, thought for a moment, and said, “One strawberry for One Hundred Thousand Star Coins. Ask them how many they want.”
“Alright, I’ll go ask.”
After saying that, Nian Shutong went into the small wooden house, starting to sort out the Three Character Classic issues with Daodao.
After roughly fifteen minutes of organizing, Fu Yunhe returned.
He stood at the door, knocked, and looked at the busy Nian Shutong who had opened up the virtual screen.
“Yu Zeming said they want one hundred.”
Nian Shutong, who had been focusing on her work, immediately looked up at Fu Yunhe, asking incredulously, “One hundred? Are you sure?”
“Sure. The price of One Hundred Thousand Star Coins each is also confirmed.”
“That means I’m going to have an income of Ten Million Star Coins.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Great! Very great!” Nian Shutong got so excited that she stood up and lavishly bought strawberries from Xiao Ba, spending One Million Star Coins—
Ah? Not enough money.
Nian Shutong realized she didn’t have One Million Star Coins anymore.
Even though she had Daodao’s manuscript fees and the income from her live-streaming store, plus the money Fu Yunhe had given her, it still wasn’t enough, missing just a little bit.
Because she had allocated most of her income to Rubble, if you were to look outside at Rubble’s workshop now, you would probably understand where all the money had gone.
Rubble’s workshop, which was high-end, was essentially a small factory. The small factory had not only expanded but also excavated a bit of the mountain behind, filling it with high-grade equipment.
Even this was not enough for Rubble, who needed more machines for the many people and for the food processing equipment that Nian Shutong planned to produce.
Thus, whenever a large sum of money came in, Nian Shutong would allocate a portion to Rubble, leaving only a little for herself.
The first thing she did was to ask Xiao Ba if she could buy on credit.
“Host, that is not possible! Xiao Ba would like to help you, but can’t.”
Nian Shutong knew Xiao Ba had tried its best, so she could only turn her attention to Fu Yunhe.
