Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"This...this is it?"

The old village chief steadied himself, looked around blankly, and then his gaze fixed on the person in front of him.

The armor was magnificent, and the aura was majestic.

But... why are the head, the arms, and the torso all square?

It has sharp edges and corners, like it was built from building blocks.

"Where is this? Who...who are you?"

Jesse's voice stammered with shock. He felt that his common sense and worldview had shattered countless times in just half a day.

"Welcome to the Asheria Outpost."

The majestic voice of "[Contending for the Throne]" resounded.

Then, the Ender Chest lid opened and closed repeatedly, spitting out one astonished and bewildered villager after another.

【Conquering the World】moved swiftly, pulling out every villager and guiding them to an open area to the side.

Exclamations, whispers, and suppressed sobs from children rose and fell.

With each additional person who emerged, the chaos and confusion at the scene deepened.

Finally, Clara was also safely pulled out, the lid closed gently, and there was no more movement.

At the base, Xu Tian confirmed that everyone was present through the perspective of [Conquering the World].

Inside the cave, Xu Tian nodded to the peak.

"Okay, everyone's here. Let's put the boxes away."

Peak did as instructed, put away the Ender Box, and then asked.

"Tianxia, ​​aren't we going back with them? Shouldn't we be there to keep an eye on things and settle these NPCs?"

No need.

Xu Tian shook his head, his gaze turning to the deep jungle outside the cave.

"The World Domination has been taken over. That's the administrator account specifically responsible for logistics and territory management. The mission rewards will be directly settled into your respective accounts later."

He paused.

"The most urgent task now is to find the goblin's lair before the wolf pack's scent dissipates and uproot it completely."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu weighed the shield in his hand and grinned.

"That makes sense. We should nip it in the bud. Besides, if we take down their stronghold, we might be able to make some extra money."

The four agreed and, without further delay, followed the tail they had previously released and the marks that the wolf pack might have left behind, disappearing back into the jungle.

On the Minecraft side, [天下问鼎] looked at the group of villagers who were still in shock and terrified of their blocky bodies, and had to take on the responsibility of comforting and explaining once again.

"Don't panic."

The imposing blocky figure raised his hand, signaling for silence; his voice quelled the commotion.

"This is the inherent law of this world. All things are in the shape of cubes. This is not a curse, but a kind of protection. After you get used to it, you will find that this place is more than ten thousand times safer than the dangerous wilderness outside."

To divert their attention, and more importantly, to address their most pressing survival needs, [World Domination] reached into his backpack.

Chapter 74 Teaching in Another World?

In the eyes of the villagers, it was like a miracle, as they produced a large stack of fluffy, soft bread that exuded a rich wheat aroma.

"You must all be starving, so let's eat this first."

The bread was distributed to everyone.

The tangible texture and the irresistible aroma instantly dispelled all my unease and fear.

The villagers, young and old alike, no longer cared about anything else and grabbed the bread, wolfing it down.

Many people, as they ate, found large tears rolling down their cheeks, which they swallowed along with the bread.

They couldn't remember the last time they could eat such fine food with such peace of mind.

While everyone was eating, [World Domination] took out more than thirty books and distributed one to each person.

"This is the 'Survival and Construction Guidelines'."

He pointed to the large, square characters on the book cover, his tone guiding.

"This book contains detailed information on all the basic knowledge needed to survive in this world: how to make tools, how to cultivate farmland and plant crops, how to gather resources and build shelters, and in the future, how to conduct fair trade with people like me—you can call us players—so that each can get what they need."

He looked around at the crowd.

"As long as you thoroughly read and master what is contained in this book, you will not only be able to live and work in peace and contentment here, but also accumulate wealth and improve your life through hard work, truly owning a stable future."

However, after he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

The villagers held the book that seemed to contain endless knowledge in their hands, looking at each other with even more bewilderment on their faces than when they had seen the cube-shaped body. It was a kind of fear of facing a completely unfamiliar territory.

After a long pause, the old village chief, Jesse, holding the book, bent his hunched back even lower, his face flushed red, and his lips trembled a few times before he spoke in a voice full of shame.

"Sir...sir..."

"Ok?"

Xu Tian was puzzled.

"Um, this book..."

Jesse's head was almost buried in his chest, and his voice grew softer and softer.

"In our Blackstone Village, from top to bottom, not a single person can read..."

"..."

Xu Tian's square head seemed to freeze almost imperceptibly for a moment.

Failed!

They were so focused on giving them instructions that they forgot the most basic premise.

How could these exiles, struggling to survive and living on the edge, possibly have the opportunity to receive an education?

For them, being able to read is probably a more luxurious dream than having enough to eat.

Trouble is brewing.

The fact that NPCs are illiterate means that we can no longer issue quests directly through written notices, make them read the trading rules on their own, or make them understand more complex tasks.

Does every arrangement and every interaction require the player to be present in person and provide hands-on instruction?

This efficiency is far too low and completely contradicts his vision of building a sustainable ecosystem.

"Should we start by opening a basic literacy class?"

Xu Tian's mind raced as he calculated.

"But where would I find the time and energy to teach them to read every day?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.

Players, aren't the ready-made resource pool just players?

Why do it yourself?

Why not just recruit skilled teachers from among the players?

If you provide appropriate tasks and rewards, people will naturally be willing to take on these tasks.

"System, retrieve the current gold coin balance."

He immediately recited it silently in his mind.

Current Gold Coin Balance: 1523

"Purchase new server access slots."

[Note: Due to server load and functional expansion, the price for new slots has increased to 50 gold coins per person.]

"As expected, the price has gone up..."

Xu Tian's lips twitched slightly, but he quickly made up his mind.

"Okay, buy me 30 new spots."

[Deduct 1500 gold coins]

The maximum number of players the server can currently accommodate has been increased to 60.

[Remaining Gold Coins: 23]

Looking at his gold coin inventory, which had almost instantly emptied, Xu Tian felt a pang of heartache.

But this investment must be made.

Without further hesitation, he immediately switched his attention to the chat group interface and quickly edited a message.

Whether we can find the right person remains to be seen.

[The Only One in the World: @All Members, Urgent Recruitment! Are there any brothers or sisters in the group who are teachers in real life? Especially elementary school, early childhood education, or Chinese language teachers. We have new openings and urgently need such talents to join. Waiting online, it's very urgent!]

The recruitment information completely ignited the previously calm chat group.

[Little Blackie: ??? What the heck? A teacher? You've gone way too far with this game! Leveling up, farming, and building houses isn't enough, now you even have to match your profession?]

[Kitten: What's going on? Why are you suddenly hiring teachers? Isn't this an adventure and combat game?]

Faced with a barrage of questions from the crowd, Tianxia Weiyi had no choice but to quickly explain.

[The Only One Under Heaven: There's no way around it, the settings are too rigorous. The batch of NPCs we just brought back are all illiterate, not a single character can read. If we don't solve the literacy problem, they won't even be able to understand the quest board, let alone learn the work guide or participate in complex construction. This will seriously slow down the development pace of the entire base.]

【Unique in the World: So, among the 30 new slots released this time, I will prioritize selecting a few players with real-world teaching experience. Their main task is to give these NPCs literacy lessons, teaching them to read and learn basic common sense.

Of course, the teaching tasks themselves also pay gold coin rewards, so don't worry about falling behind in development. You only need to spend part of your time teaching each day, and the rest of the time you can freely explore, develop, and play with everyone.

[Peak: ...This game's realism has never disappointed me. I thought I was rescuing a workforce, but it turns out I have to be responsible for nine years of compulsory education first?]

[Qingchen: Isn't that simple? I'll just hire a few top-notch tutors in real life and have them teach me in the game, right?]

[The Only One Under Heaven: Not really suitable. It's best to find someone who enjoys playing games and has teaching experience, because after teaching, they also need to adventure and build alongside everyone as players. If they come purely for teaching, the process will be very boring.]
