In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar!

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all because of me that Amir and the others are late."

Under Tina's watchful gaze, Wang Yan kept apologizing.

Tina's temper was hardly gentle.

Even in the story, he will call the player "stupid," which many players see as "satisfying," but it does represent that Tinari is very strict in patrolling the forest.

Wang Yan also didn't want Amir and Iraz to be reprimanded by Tinari because of his own actions.

However, Wang Yan's concern led him astray.

After listening to the three of them explain the situation one after another, Tina's expression gradually softened.

"Helping people who are lost in the rainforest is the responsibility of the rangers. Since there is a reason for it, it is not a mistake."

Tinari said calmly, "Amir, Iraz, just write a forest patrol report and explain what happened. That will be enough. I will apply for a rescue bonus for you."

After learning the cause of the incident, Tinari was not angry at all; on the contrary, he helped the two diligent hunters apply for a bonus.

This bonus was actually set up after Little Lucky Grass King came to power.

During the time of the great sage Azhar, let alone bonuses, even normal forest patrol expenses were not always paid on time.

"Alright, Mr. Wang Yan, leave him to me and Cole for now. You two should go home and not worry your families," Tinari said to Amir and Cole.

Upon hearing this, Amir and Iraz immediately tensed up and showed a hint of panic.

They were also afraid that their families would worry.

"Then we'll be going now." Amir and Iraz nodded, and then Amir said to Wang Yan, "Brother Wang Yan, the Tinari hunter is a very good person. Don't worry, he will definitely take good care of you."

Wang Yan nodded gratefully to Amir: "Yes, Amir, Iraz, you should go home quickly, don't let your families worry."

Wang Yan knew that Amir wasn't saying this to reassure himself, but to flatter Tinali and make her more attentive to him.

Tinari didn't speak; Amir's little thoughts couldn't be hidden from him.

After Amir and Iraz left,

Tina looked at Wang Yan with a scrutinizing gaze: "It's getting late, Mr. Wang Yan, please come with me. There are still empty tents at the rangers' training camp where you can rest."

As he spoke, he began to lead the way, gesturing for Wang Yan to follow.

Then, as they walked, Tinari casually asked, "What kind of business does Mr. Wang Yan run in Liyue?"

Wang Yan's heart tightened, but he still said in a relaxed tone, "I don't do any business. I just help people look at antiques and occasionally earn some appraisal fees to make a living."

"Oh~" Tinari's tone held a hint of interest. "Mr. Wang Yan..."

"Just call me Wang Yan, don't be so polite, I'm the forest ranger from Tinali," Wang Yan interrupted.

Tinari nodded. "Then you can just call me Tinari. Wang Yan, are you an archaeologist? Or an antique connoisseur?"

Archaeology is also a very popular subject at the Faculty of Education.

Generally speaking, the institutions and architecture of the Myo-rok school, and the language and symbolic literature of the Chöd school, all involve archaeology.

Other schools of thought also touch upon this topic, but not as frequently as the two schools mentioned above.

Wang Yan shook his head: "I wouldn't call myself an archaeologist. I study ancient writing and also do some linguistics. This time, I wanted to cross the caves of the layered rocks and giant abyss to come to Xumi. Besides the adventure, I also wanted to study more in Xumi."

"I see." Tinari slowed her pace, glancing past Wang Yan's 'strange attire,' and said calmly, "Do you have a graduation certificate from Liyue Academy? Like Tongwen Academy or something."

Wang Yan didn't even know what the Wenshu Academy was.

In the game's storyline, there is never any academy in Liyue.

The few educational institutions that appear only exist in the stories of Hisaki Shinobu and Yanfei.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yan gave a wry smile: "I come from a self-taught background, otherwise, I wouldn't have had to come all the way to Sumeru."

Tina frowned slightly, but nodded nonetheless: "Heroes come from all walks of life. As long as one has a thirst for knowledge, the Order of the Fathers welcomes anyone to come and learn..."

"However, Amir just said that getting student status... that won't be easy."

"At your age, it's impossible for you to become a citizen like the children, but you also don't have a graduation certificate from Liyue, so you can't prove your education..."

After a pause, seemingly deep in thought, Tinari said solemnly, "Unless you can find a [Habantha] to apply for your enrollment, otherwise..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already quite clear.

Before Wang Yan could speak, Tinali stopped in his tracks: "We've arrived. Take a look. The tents outside without lights are unused. Choose one. As for food... I'll have Kolai bring you some later."

Wang Yan changed the subject from what they were talking about earlier, smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."

Tina shook her head: "Helping those who are lost in the rainforest is our duty, it's not a problem... Alright, I won't bother you any longer, you can rest."

After saying that, Tinari turned and left.

Wang Yan watched him walk away before turning his gaze away. Then he found an empty tent nearby, opened the curtain, and found that there was no strange smell inside, and the bedding was very clean.

Bending down to enter, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Tinari had definitely doubted his identity just now.

There was nothing he could do; his clothes simply didn't match Liyue's attire.

Outlandish clothing will attract attention in any environment, and the effects can be both good and bad.

"However, Tinari is kind-hearted after all. Even though she wasn't sure of my identity, she still treated me like a lost traveler..."

"If it were the Gilded Brigade, or the Treasure Thieves, or the Fools, I think we'd be in big trouble."

As Wang Yan pondered, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

The start hasn't been very smooth so far, but at least there's no danger, so it's acceptable.

Before arriving in Huacheng Guo, he seemed to be in control of his emotions and behavior, and everything was going smoothly.

But in reality, they are all forcing themselves to tell themselves: I can do it!

It's a kind of self-hypnosis born out of despair.

Now, the tension that Wang Yan had been holding in since his transmigration has finally eased a little.

...

the other side.

Ke Lai looked at her returning master with a curious gaze.

"Master, is there something wrong with that person?"

Tina shook her head: "There's a small problem, but it's nothing serious, they're not bad people."

That's the best he can do for now; as for more…

Whether Wang Yan's identity is real or fake, Tina Li doesn't care.

As long as they are not bad people and will not harm anyone in Huacheng Guo, then everything will be fine.

Then Tinari said to Cole, "Get him some food and drink and send it over, don't let him go hungry... Hmm, he claims to be an ancient script and linguist, haha, Cole, you might be able to ask him for advice on how to learn to read."

Upon hearing this, Ke Lai blushed: "Master!!"

Because of her illness, Cole never received a formal education, so she was illiterate at first.

Even with Tinari's guidance, Cole's educational level remains mediocre due to his lack of energy.

However, Cole loved learning, and whenever he learned new words, he would use them to write letters to his friends in Mondstadt, demonstrating his ability to apply what he learned in a practical way.

"Haha, I'm serious. If he can guide your studies, then... his identity as a scholar will be more genuine."

Tina said with a smile.

Seeing this, the blush on Ke Lai's face faded a little.

She thought it was Master Tinari teasing her.

Unexpectedly, she was asked to use studying as an excuse to test Mr. Wang Yan.

"Alright, I'll listen to Master Tinari and give it a try."
