Chapter 564: University Research
Hearing Hammer's call outside, Lin Sai immediately made his way towards the location of the University.
As he stepped out of his residence, curious villagers gathered around him, and soon a large crowd followed behind.
A few minutes later, Lin Sai arrived at the University.
The previously skeletal structure was now fully constructed, attracting the attention of curious villagers who gathered around to observe.
Every time Lin Sai set up a new building, it brought something novel and exciting.
People had grown accustomed to this sense of novelty and even developed an anticipation for it.
Lin Sai, in a good mood, approached the University and opened the building panel. As expected, a series of technology upgrade projects appeared.

...
Indeed, the University had numerous research projects.
Some projects focused on enhancing effects, while others unlocked new buildings, providing additional functions for the city.
However, Lin Sai's primary objective was 【Basic Healthcare】.
Apart from improving the treatment capabilities of the Medical Station, the ability to conduct research on diseases perfectly met Lin Sai's current needs.
"But the research cost is 100 gold coins."
Lindsey's face turned grim.
He opened his travel bag and checked its contents several times.
Currently, he only had 72 gold coins, 28 short of the required 100.
As for this world...
The economic system on the Desolate Land had long collapsed, and even currency was abandoned by its inhabitants.
With no apparent source, how could he obtain these last 28 gold coins?
"Hmm!"
At this moment, Lindsey noticed a detail.
In his bag, there was a small, ancient-looking pouch containing 15 ancient coins from a bygone era.
"Even if I add these 15 coins, I'm still 13 short..."
Screech—
Lindsey heard the sound of a wheelchair moving.
He turned to see Silude, her face full of curiosity, pushing her wheelchair closer to examine the university where she would work in the future.
The writer's gaze fell upon the girl's beautiful features, but his heart sank.
As Silude continued to survey the university's structure, he naturally pushed her wheelchair, and the two of them entered the building.
"Lindsey, what...what are you doing?"
"Why are you pushing my wheelchair today?" Silude's voice was filled with surprise, even bordering on disbelief.
But soon, Lindsey's voice came from behind her:
"Silude, when you were in the Seven Seas Alliance, you acted independently, and you must have spent money, right?"
Silude nodded:
"Yes, artists also need...Hmm? Lindsey, do you need money?"
The writer girl's reaction was astonishingly quick.
As soon as Lindsey opened his mouth, she instantly grasped his intention.
Connecting this with what she had observed in the camp recently, she also guessed the subsequent developments:
"I understand!"
"You built this university not only for my convenience in teaching but also because this building can provide you with some very useful functions."
"And now, to activate these abilities, we need to consume gold coins!"
Silude made her move.
She simultaneously took out a small scroll from her body, opened it with one hand, and let a small pile of gold coins flow out, piling up between her legs as she sat in the wheelchair.
Lindsey estimated there to be around 100 coins in total.
"..."
"Silude, I'll give you an IOU, and I'll definitely repay you later."
With the territory's development and the world's safety at stake, Lindsey couldn't hesitate at this moment.
However, as he picked up the gold coins between Silude's legs...
The girl suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed Lindsey's palms:
"Lindsey, everything I have obviously belongs to you. Why do we have to be so clear about it?"
"That's your idea, not mine." Lindsey withdrew his hands, but for the sake of the money, he responded, "Silude, you should know my viewpoint. The things you've done are unforgivable crimes."
Silude gave him an ambiguous look.
"No problem, when I did those things, I was naturally willing to bear the corresponding consequences."
"And besides..."
Here, Silude's eyes took on a sickly red hue:
"Just being able to watch over you here is satisfying enough for me."
"..."
Lindsey shook his head and stopped paying attention to Silude. He turned back to consume the newly acquired gold coins.
Swish—
The gold coins he had just obtained vanished instantly.
As the funds were used, a research entry appeared in the University's architectural attributes.
