Tyne smiled as if she understood everything: "Hahaha… I knew it! I knew it!"
"Huh! Don't act like you know everything, I said I don't like him." Norra shouted angrily and embarrassedly.
"Alright! I see…" Tyne said with a smile, even though she was reassuring Norra her face was still showing a mysterious smile.
Norra sighed, she knew that no matter how much she explained, Tyne wouldn't understand.
"Everyone seems to be having a good time…"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Tyne and Norra realized it was Lori.
"Lori…" Tyne said with a smile: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Lori shook her head: "I've already eaten, now I'm helping everyone clean up..."
Seeing the smile on Lori's face, Tyne also felt a little at peace: "Lori, thank you."
Lori smiled and said, "No, I'm the one who should thank you. Thank you Norra. Thanks for bringing us to this place. I hope I can help you more…"
Norra rubbed her chin and said, "Lori, you were a teacher before, weren't you?"
Lori nodded: "Yes, but when I was on Earth, I only taught children. The knowledge that I taught was about how to read and write, how to do math and some basic knowledge."
"I'm afraid I can't help you much, but I'll do my best to be able to help you."
"That's enough." Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door. A man in a black robe entered.
"Void Lord?!" Norra was startled, seeing Hikaru enter, she bowed her head in salute.
Tyne and Lori, seeing this, also imitated Norra, and bowed to the Void Lord. The other girls who were eating also stopped, they stood up and knelt on the ground, and bowed their heads.
Hikaru nodded: "Um… stand up."
"We can't!" Lori suddenly spoke up: "You're the Void Lord, aren't you?"
"Yes, that's me..." Hikaru frowned, as he looked at the woman named Lori.
Lori was an adult woman, who was about 32-35 years old, with slightly curly brown hair, she was also about 160cm tall. There were quite a few wounds on her body, however, those wounds are slowly recovering.
Maybe… she went through a lot of pain.
Lori raised her head to look him straight in the eye, then her eyes were wet, as tears welled up in her eyes.
Lori at first knelt on one knee, then changed to kneeling on both legs, then she bowed her head close to the ground.
"Void Lord, thank you for saving me from hell… thank you…" Lori said while crying, however, Hikaru still heard her words.
After that, the other girls did the same as Lori, they all expressed their gratitude and respect to Hikaru.
Hikaru sighed, he said, "Don't get me wrong, I saved you because I wanted to use you. You also signed an equality pact, we owe each other no debt, nor am I a philanthropist."
"Incorrect!" Lori said, "Even if everything is as you say, but you saved me and the others, serving you is how we can repay you."
"Void Lord, I know we're not too useful to you but I hope you can use us. Me and the people here will do our best to be useful to you."
Hikaru nodded, "Good! Then get up, stop kneeling, I want to talk to you guys too."
"Yes!"
After everyone cleaned up the dining room, Hikaru sat on a chair, he looked at the twenty girls in this place along with Norra and Tyne, and then said, "The information I need, have you compiled it?"
Norra nodded, then handed Hikaru a scroll. Hikaru looked at the information inside that scroll, inside was all the information of the other twenty girls, including Tyne making it21.
Their name, age, occupation while living on Earth, the life skills they possessed..etc.
After going through it once, Hikaru thought silently. The people on this list all had different occupations.
Although it seemed like those occupations had no effect in this world, for Hikaru it was different, as he was seeing a huge treasure.
The women sitting around Hikaru, including Tyne and Norra, waited in silence.
However, everyone felt a little nervous, after all they were weak players, and they were unable to fight.
If the skills or occupations they had on Earth weren't useful to the Void Lord, they would probably be kicked out of the land.
Even if they don't get kicked out of this place, they didn't want to be useless people who could only wait for support from others.
Hikaru smiled and said, "Very good! Don't worry, everyone has the opportunity to work, no one is useless."
"Heh?!"
"Really?!"
"Void Lord, are you telling the truth?"
"Are we all useful to you?"
After hearing Hikaru's words, everyone was overjoyed, some even cried with joy.
Hikaru smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is useful, no one is useless."
Then, Hikaru looked towards the girls, starting with Lori: "Lori, you used to be a teacher right?"
Lori was startled, then she tried to calm herself and said, "That's right, Void Lord. Before, I was a teacher, however, I only taught children about 10 years old or younger."
"My job is to teach children the basics and other things."
Hikaru nodded at that, he felt that this girl's role was quite important. Education was the foundation of the development of a country, the development of a nation always depends on the development of education and human resources.
He frowned and asked, "It's okay, I just wanted to ask you something. If I give you a month, can you master the writing of this world?"
In this world, the writing was completely different from that of earth. Although the pronunciation was the same, the spelling was different.
However, it was only the common language, and the languages of other races were not the same as the common language. In fact, the common language was only used for humans, spirits, or races similar to humans.
As for races like Beasts, Lizards..etc. each had its own language.
But his domain would be a territory for all races, so he needed to unify the script and language within his domain.
Education would do this. However, to do this requires a good teacher and a complete curriculum for basic education.
Lori fell into deep thought when she heard that, but three seconds later, she immediately laughed and said, "Lord, I can do it. No, I will definitely do it, I won't let you down."
Hikaru nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have magic that can save you a lot of time and I have a language expert to help you do this."
"Of course, you and her will have to work together and come up with a curriculum on subjects like: Handwriting, math, and all the basics of this world."
"Understand?"
"I understand!" Lori nodded.
In Hikaru's mind there was a great candidate for this, and that was Shala.
She was good at foreign languages and she had a lot of knowledge about this world. Of course, the knowledge she possessed belonged to the ancient times, when the fog had not yet appeared.
However, with the help of Selvih and Anno, Shala could update her knowledge about this world.
Then let them compile a basic set of textbooks for those just starting out.
Of course he didn't want to wait too long, so the void Space will help him shorten a lot of time.
After solving Lori's problem, he continued to look at the rest of the girls.
Their problems were not too difficult to solve. Three of the girls who used to work in the clerical, sales and administrative departments on earth will be working in the Administrative Hall.
They were extremely suitable to work in the Administrative Hall, of course, Anno would help them get used to the job.
Hikaru thought, maybe he would let Amia - one of the other 4 Half-Elf girls - manage the Administrative Hall. Anyway, the half-elf girls were more reliable than the girls he had just rescued.
Besides, the Half-Elf girls have been following Anno for a long time, so they have a lot of knowledge and experience in communicating with the inhabitants of this world.
Besides, the 4 Half-elf girls all became his, so they wouldn't betray him. Letting them take on important positions in the territory was the best thing he could do for them.
Of course, those girls also wanted to work and prove themselves.
Out of these 20 girls, two were former legal officers and lawyers, and he let those two girls become Norra's assistants. They would continue to develop the laws of his domain.
There were also girls who had skills in baking and kitchen work so they would be brought into the lord's building, and they would be Nekomaly's assistants. Either way, he didn't want Nekomaly to be too busy.
The remaining 10 girls had no skills and jobs at all, while they were living on Earth, they only helped with household chores.
Those 10 girls were also very worried, they knew that they themselves did not have any useful occupation and skills for the Void Lord so they were afraid of being thrown out of the territory by him.
They didn't want to go to the outside world, and face the fog, monsters, and scary players that would trample their bodies.
However, Hikaru didn't think they would be useless. Those girls were all born and raised in farming families, therefore, they would be working in the Greenhouse.
Was he worried about them stealing the food and taking it out?
The answer was no!
Because the food grown in the Greenhouse was by default an item that belongs to this world.
Items belonging to this world cannot be placed in the System's storage space.
Besides, they had to sign a loyalty contract with him, so it was difficult for them to trick him or steal food.
So… all these 20 girls were useful, everyone had a job. Of course they wouldn't work for free, Hikaru would still pay them fairly.
"Void Lord…" Suddenly Norra spoke up: "Can I save more players?"
