Elsewhere, Wang Chong, embracing the resting Tallulah in his arms, was looking at a pop-up system window. After these days of companionship and witnessing how Wang Chong had won back the hearts of the villagers, Tallulah's favorability towards him had finally reached its maximum. This meant that he had fulfilled all the requirements for the first sub-goal of the main storyline, starting with joining the Reunion Movement. He had finally completed this first sub-goal.
"Ding—Congratulations to the host for completing Main Mission Objective ①. You've gained over 90% support for the Reunion Movement, successfully captured Reunion leader Tallulah and reached 100 points of favorability with her, and successfully recruited three powerful Hero-level Infected to join the Reunion Movement. You will receive: 2000 Villain Points, three random Terran Tech artifacts, and one Skill Upgrade Card."
"Ding—Since you didn't use brainwashing, hypnosis, or coercion to forcefully complete the mission, and thus met the restricted requirements, the mission reward has been upgraded to 6000 Villain Points, 9 random Terran Tech artifacts, and 3 Skill Upgrade Cards. Your current Villain Points are 15900."
"Ding—New main storyline sub-target tasks are being generated... Please wait."
"I got three more skill upgrade cards, plus this wave of villain points. All the time and energy I spent here is worth it. Just the first sub-target has brought me such a huge profit. I don't know what surprises the rewards of the subsequent sub-targets will bring me."
"Also, the item [Fortune Seeked in Danger] is truly worth using. While the mission's difficulty has increased significantly due to the restrictions, the tripled reward upon completion is well worth it. Most importantly, even if I don't complete the mission within the restrictions, I still receive a guaranteed reward. This way, how I complete the mission is entirely up to me. Well, I'll try to get as many resources as I can. Let's see what kind of shackles the new sub-goals will place on me."
Wang Chong looked at his current rich harvest and began to think about his future path.
"Also... Talulah is now the first person in this world to have a full favorability rating. I can tell her some of the truth. And now that her villain points have surpassed 10,000, more and more people from the Dimensional House will be coming to this world. At that point, someone will need to work with me to assign them appropriate identities. Talulah is undoubtedly the best choice."
Wang Chong looked at Tallulah, also beginning to think. With a favorability rating of 100, there was no chance of it dropping. It was time to tell Tallulah a little about his true identity.
Furthermore, there was a chance that one day, due to a situation in Type-Moon World, he might need to temporarily enter Type-Moon World to fight. The time flow rate between Type-Moon World and Ark World was 1:10. Even if his stay in Type-Moon World was short, it would still feel like a long absence from Ark World's perspective. During this window of absence, he would also need someone to help him cover his tracks.
"Ding——The mission sub-target has been loaded, please check~"
At this moment, the system's prompt sound temporarily interrupted Wang Chong's thoughts. Wang Chong turned his attention back to the screen, only to see that this time it actually directly loaded two sub-goals for him to achieve.
"Mission Objective ②: [Build high walls, store abundant food, and slowly claim the throne]. To seize power in the Ursus Empire and divide its territory, you must have sufficient resources to sustain a protracted war against the empire. Therefore, population, food, and fortifications are essential. Gather sufficient civilian and military forces, consolidate your base, and achieve economic self-sufficiency to successfully fight this protracted war. At the same time, you must maintain a low profile and avoid directing all your attacks at Reunion, giving the organization ample time to develop.
Mission Requirements: ① Recruit civilians to join the Reunion Movement, and ensure their total number of surrenders reaches 50. ② Build a base area of 1 square kilometers, using the construction of various fortifications as the basis for defining the base area. ③ Accumulate 5 tons of food rations and achieve food self-sufficiency.
Mission Rewards: ① For every 10 population gained, 2000 Villain Points will be awarded, which can be redeemed in stages. Each 10-point increase in population will earn you a reward. ② For every 1000 square kilometers of base area gained, one Epic Lottery entry will be awarded, which can be redeemed in stages. ③ For every 1 tons of rations accumulated, one Terran Tech artifact and its corresponding knowledge and blueprints will be awarded, which can be redeemed in stages. Upon completing all of the above missions, the host will be rewarded with 3 Skill Upgrade Cards and a Random Jar.
Mission Objectives ② Restrictions: ① Do not use brainwashing, hypnosis, or coercion to coerce people into joining the Reunion Movement. ② Fortifications must be constructed by your personnel. You may not use supernatural powers to directly alter the terrain or construct fortifications. ③ Accumulated food must primarily be produced on Terra. This can be cultivated, obtained from others, or through free trade, and cannot be purchased directly or indirectly from the system mall.
After reaching the limit requirements, the reward will be multiplied by 3 times the original reward, and an additional 10,000 reputation points will be obtained. "
Wang Chong looked at the content of the first new sub-goal, and it was indeed related to the main storyline of overthrowing the Ursus Empire. And just as Wang Chong had predicted before, there were tasks, rewards, and corresponding restrictions related to mobilizing troops and civilians.
It was well worth the effort to publicize the integration movement in every village and town on the ice field and win over the people's hearts.
"The first sub-goal is to expand our own strength. Compared to the second sub-goal, it is officially related to war." Wang Chong felt that he had almost figured out the main direction of the sub-goal, so he immediately looked at the next sub-goal task.
Chapter 147: Three Divine Books
"Mission Sub-Objective 3: [Gentlemen, I love war]. Any path to overthrowing a dynasty is inevitably fraught with bloodshed. A general's success is built on the sacrifice of countless men, let alone the foundation of an eternal nation. Every slaying of an enemy, every bloodshed, will cement our reputation. Come, let the fangs of the Ice Empire tremble. Use their blood to prove our might, our rise! Slay the millions of Iceborne soldiers, and roam the vast expanse of our land at my will!
Mission requirements: Destroy the Ursus Empire's Third and Fourth Armies on the ice field, completely control the eastern Ursus ice field, and divide the land with the Ursus Empire.
Mission Rewards: 1 reputation point for each Ursus soldier eliminated. 1000 reputation points for each Ursus general killed. Killing the marshals of the Third and Fourth Armies will each earn 1 reputation points.
Mission Restrictions: The Ursus soldiers to be eliminated must be killed by troops under the command of the Reunion Movement. In a soldier-on-soldier, general-on-general battle, the host can kill Ursus soldiers of the rank of general and above to receive rewards. However, the host cannot use forces outside of this world's power system to eliminate these generals.
Completion restrictions: The reputation points originally earned will be tripled, and you will also receive an additional 1 villain points, a full-dimensional character draw, and a villain template.
"Reputation points? Wait, one Ursus soldier is one reputation point. It doesn't seem like much, but if I remember correctly, both the Third and Fourth Armies have hundreds of thousands of people... and if I triple that...!"
Wang Chong took a deep breath. You know, reputation points can be exchanged for villain points at a ratio of 10:1. If this wave goes smoothly, it is at least possible to directly reach a million reputation points. If converted, that is more than 100,000 villain points.
"Is this the true value of reputation points? No wonder it is obtained at a ratio of 10:1. Remember, these are only the Third and Fourth Armies. The Ursus Empire has more than just these two armies..." Wang Chong knew very well that if he obtained such a huge reward, he would be able to easily maximize his many skills and protections. Who knows, his strength would be able to reach the next level again.
"What do you think, host? I told you that it's worth it to risk your life for wealth and honor. The rewards for these two sub-tasks alone exceed the total number of villain points you've earned in the Type-Moon world." The system also jumped out and said with great pride.
"Yes, it's really worth the money. System, it's a good opportunity to check whether the mission sub-goal ② has achieved the stage goal now." Wang Chong said.
"Yes, the conditions for detecting the current sub-target ② are as follows:
Current population: 15287
Current sphere of influence: 1032 square kilometers
Current grain reserves: 200 tons.
"Congratulations to the host for completing their sphere of influence's interim goal. I'll reward you with one epic lottery draw." "The system reported."
"A population of 15,000? That's not right. Even if we capture prisoners and continue to expand the recruitment this time, there are only more than 4,000 people in the integration movement on the mountain. Where did these extra 10,000 people come from? Wait, could it be..." Wang Chong's eyes lit up and he said.
"That's right, host. This is the result of your previous propaganda strategy. On this ice field, although many people have not yet climbed the mountain to join the Reunion Movement, they have already recognized themselves as part of the Reunion Movement. And they are scattered across the ice field, constantly promoting the concepts and ideas of the Reunion Movement, attracting more and more people to recognize this identity. Now, the extra 1 people are counted as them." The system nodded.
"Hmm...more than 1 people, still a long way from 50...but there are still so many poor people in this snowy plain. Once they all respond one by one, the number will be more than 50. However, as the number of people increases, the organizational structure of the integration movement should also be optimized." Wang Chong began to consider how to manage such a large population, as well as issues related to military reform.
He had many memories of the Demon King in his mind, so he didn't have much trouble arranging political affairs. After all, whether it was a presidential system, a XX representative system, a cabinet parliament, or even a constitutional monarchy, they were all more advanced than any other country on the Terra continent today.
Huh? It seems Ursus is a constitutional monarchy, isn't it? But a closer look reveals that Ursus's constitutional monarchy is merely a facade; at its core, the monarch's power remains supreme.
"Host, you can discuss these with Talulah and the others later. Don't you plan to draw cards first? This time it's another 10-draw phase." The system asked.
"Go ahead and draw... Anyway, given the current situation, my luck isn't going to be any better. I might as well use it up early." Wang Chong waved his hand casually. After two consecutive failures of ten consecutive draws, he no longer had any hope for a 10-draw streak.
"Okay, host. Ding - the drawing is in progress..." The system once again displayed the lottery interface, and then a golden special effect appeared.
"Congratulations to the host for drawing the following items: Five Terra Tech artifacts, namely the Source Spell Drone, Constant Temperature Chamber, Plant Nutrient, Seismograph, and Thunder Tower; Three Special Books, namely: 'Barefoot Doctor's Manual - Terra Modified Edition', 'Militia Training Manual - Terra Modified Edition', and 'Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents - Terra Modified Edition'; Special Skill - Spell Unit Manufacturing Technology, Summoner Skill: Barrier.
[Source Stone Spell Drone]: A spell drone that can be inscribed with any Source Stone technique, allowing for continuous spellcasting. The drone can be controlled directly by mind control.
【Constant Temperature Room】: A room where it is spring all year round. It can be used for living or for growing plants.
【Plant nutrients】: can promote plant growth, shorten the growth cycle, and increase a certain amount of yield.
[Seismograph]: It can create small-scale earthquakes. It takes one year to charge once used.
【Thunder Tower】: A defensive device that can manipulate the electric current on the electromagnetic circle to directly attack the enemy. It requires the use of Originium to react.
"Barefoot Doctor's Manual - Terra Magic Modified Edition": Healing injuries and diseases, after reading it, ordinary people can become qualified "doctors" in the shortest time.
"Militia Training Manual - Terra Modified Edition": Teaches people how to train militia.
"Friends of Dual-use Military and Civilian Talents - Terra Modified Edition": In addition to military affairs, there is also learning of various skills required for building a country.
[Spell Unit Manufacturing Technology]: Can be used to create weapons capable of performing Originium skills.
[Barrier]: Shields any designated target. The shield's strength depends on your maximum Strength. Strength exceeding the shield's maximum strength will not break it, and only the excess strength can affect the designated target. Applying the barrier does not consume your own Strength. Duration: 2 seconds, cooldown: 3 minutes.
"Five more Terran technology artifacts. Phew... Anyway, as long as they can improve the Reunion Movement, that's fine. Especially that seismograph and the Thunder Tower. Finally, I've got two artifacts that look useful. And then there are three books... Wait? What are these three books?"
Just when Wang Chong was indifferent to the useless creations of Tailai Technology, which were neither good nor worth throwing away, he almost missed out on three divine books.
"Shh... This really wants me to turn the Reunion into a monstrous team. And this is a modified Terra version, which fits perfectly with Terra's current weird tech tree. It saves me a lot of effort in modifying it."
Wang Chong flipped through the contents and realized clearly that if the knowledge in these three books were disseminated to everyone in the Reunion Movement, they would undoubtedly become capable individuals capable of commanding combat and training troops, treating illnesses and saving lives, and improving people's livelihoods. Medical care, military affairs, and livelihoods—these three areas were exactly what the Reunion Movement needed most, and the more of them, the better.
"I didn't expect it, System! You've actually pulled out something good for me this time. With these three items, if the Reunion Movement has enough time, I'm afraid they won't even need my presence anymore. They'll be able to overthrow this empire."
After Wang Chong put away the three books, a new plan had already emerged in his mind.
Chapter 148 Inès wants it again
"You mean, during the time you tormented me all night last night until I fell asleep, not only did you not rest, but you also created these three books at once?"
"Sage's moment, it's magical, isn't it?"
Tallulah was wearing her coat at the moment, stroking her chin while looking at Wang Chong nodding in disbelief.
Talulah reviewed the contents of the three booklets once again. The first taught how to become a Scourge Messenger, the safety precautions for mining Originium, how to smelt steel, and other essential skills. The second provided detailed explanations of war tactics like the three-three system, interspersed detours, and the "one point, two sides" strategy, as well as training methods for various military branches and battlefield applications. It also covered medical knowledge such as identifying herbs, their medicinal properties, and how to treat common illnesses, burns, and knife wounds.
Tallulah was now reading all this, not even bothering to put her clothes on. Her mind was in a tizzy. How could she have been discussing physiology with Wang Chong just one moment before her consciousness went dark, and then the next moment, he had produced three books that once again overturned Tallulah's understanding?
"You are simply a monster..." Tallulah couldn't help but say after closing the book.
"Thank you for the compliment, but this has little to do with me. It's just something I learned from my hometown." This time, Wang Chong did not shamelessly claim it.
"What's there to explain? Why are you being so humble with me today?"
Tallulah looked at Wang Chong with a hint of a smile. After carefully placing the three books, she stood up and said, "The contents of these three books are extremely important to the Reunion Movement. I plan to immediately assign the captains of each team to study their contents carefully."
"I had the same plan. However, given the current timeframe, it's too much of a stretch for them to directly learn all the knowledge. I suggest you categorize the contents of these three books first, and teach them what they're good at and responsible for first. For example, the engineering team will learn how to build fortifications, the combat team members will learn tactics, and the logistics and medical team will specialize in studying this medical manual." Wang Chong said slowly.
"Time period... Chong, have you heard any new news?" Tallulah asked with a frown.
"There's no need to get any rumors. Based on the Ursus's current information transmission time, their efficiency, the time it takes for the army to mobilize, and the cycle of mobilizing food and fodder, we can roughly infer when the next round of encirclement and suppression will begin."
After Wang Chong finished speaking, he picked out the Militia Military Training Manual from among the three books and slowly said, "Tallulah, I plan to select some suitable villages and make copies of this book for trustworthy people."
"Are you planning to...let the villagers form their own armed forces? Or even train a militia?" Tallulah couldn't help but ask.
"That's right. While Ursus's attention is focused on us, we should select capable and trustworthy people from the villages that support us as our representatives to help us train these living forces... This is the most important step in implementing the future plan of the blazing fire. Just imagine, while Ursus focuses its attention on our publicly visible Reunion Movement force, the entire Snowfield will secretly begin training one Reunion Movement force after another..."
Wang Chong didn't say anything else because he could tell that Tallulah understood what he meant.
"There is no time to lose. Let's select the right target before the second wave of encirclement from Ursus arrives." Talulah was not vague. She immediately put on her clothes and gave instructions.
……
Another three days passed quickly. Wang Chong changed his strategy and began to spread his methods of training militias and agricultural planting to the villages that had firmly joined the Integration Movement and had selected personnel from them. He left behind photocopied books to enable them to become self-sufficient, and then returned to the Integration Movement's headquarters.
"This... is the Integration Movement that Chong mentioned? There are so many people..." When Surtel saw the crowd around her, she felt a little uncomfortable as she was used to being alone.
During this time, Wang Chong interacted with Sulter quite a bit. Besides catering to his love of ice cream, Wang Chong also paid extra attention to Sulter's memory and health. Whenever they arrived at a new location, he would always ask if Sulter remembered anything. These small details undoubtedly helped Sulter accept Wang Chong as her boyfriend.
"Talulah, I'll take Surtel to report first. You go find the Patriots and learn about the recent situation of the Reunion Movement and the Fourth Army. By the way, inform them of the three books and subsequent plans. See if there is anything that can be optimized." Wang Chong said.
"Well... then Alina and I will go first." Tallulah nodded, patted Alina who was looking at the doctor's manual, and took Alina to the command room.
Wang Chong took Surter to the Human Resources Department for personnel registration, and then got Surter a nameplate as a symbol of his identity.
"Mr. Wang Chong, which team do you plan to assign her to? What kind of tasks are you going to assign her?" The person in charge of personnel management was none other than Inès. After quickly writing down some of Surtel's characteristics and abilities, she asked Wang Chong directly.
"Just like Skadi and Ghost Shark, they will be added to my special forces team." Wang Chong said directly.
"Hmph... As expected." Inès looked at Surtur. From the moment she entered the room, she noticed that Wang Chong was holding Surtur's little hand. It was obvious that he had been tricked from somewhere outside and joined the so-called special forces.
"Alas, she is young, pretty, and strong...but she is targeted by this guy." Ines couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Wang Chong is here, and another good girl is about to fall.
"boom!"
"It hurts!" Ines held her forehead that was hit by the bullet and looked up at Wang Chong. The anger that was rising in her immediately subsided when she met Wang Chong's eyes.
"Don't think about those messy things all day long, understand? Fill it out quickly, I still have to take people to find a house." Wang Chong said with a kind smile.
"Wuwu..." Realizing that her thoughts were seen through, Inès could only sob and do as Wang Chong said.
"Okay, Surtel, let's go first." Wang Chong picked up the prepared nameplate, and after doing all this, he took Surtel to choose a room.
After seeing Wang Chong leave, Ines finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, angrily, she said, "Damn it, what's with all that arrogance? Do I think I'm capable of anything I've accomplished? Don't you see who's in that special forces team... Ghost Shark, Skadi, Honeysuckle, and now this Surtur? They're all women, and every one of them is stunningly beautiful. They don't do anything all day, just train. Remember, the regular Reunion soldiers are also responsible for helping build fortifications."
"Hmph, although they do have strange personalities and are very powerful, making it difficult for them to cooperate with ordinary soldiers, I don't believe you will let them go. If you miss even one, I, Inès, will write my name backwards from now on."
Inès kept muttering to herself as she processed today's personnel files and did some statistics.
"However, W and I weren't drafted into the special forces team... Does this mean he's no longer interested in us? It seems like he hasn't hugged me in a long time. It's been a while since I felt that feeling... Eh?"
Inès's thoughts were spreading wildly, but she suddenly seemed to realize how absurd her thoughts were. She quickly shook her head, holding her head with both hands, and thought:
"What's wrong with me? Am I really crazy? Isn't this a good thing? I don't have to be on that guy's radar anymore, pinning him down in the wilderness at every turn, living in constant fear of being discovered! I don't have to let W and Hedley down anymore..."
Inès slumped heavily onto the table, tilting her head to look at the file named Surtel placed beside it. Recalling the appearance of the woman just now, she couldn't help but sigh, "She's so pretty... No wonder he's gradually losing interest in me..."
For some reason, Inès felt a surge of loss and shame. No matter how much she pounded her head, no matter how much she tried to deceive herself, her actions and thoughts all suggested one thing: she could no longer leave Wang Chong. She even began to miss those terrifying times.
Chapter 149: Laurentina's Brief Awakening
"Host, Inès's emotions were fluctuating greatly just now. Her sinking value has increased by 5% again. Considering that you have left her there for such a long time, her sinking value has reached 80%." The system reminded.
"This is a perfectly normal outcome," Wang Chong shrugged. "It's okay. Let's let her go for a while. We'll talk about it after this counter-encirclement campaign."
"Host, when do you plan to take action, W?" the system asked doubtfully.
"Ha, she'll come over on her own initiative, as long as she has something to ask for. I've seen her glance my way quite often on the battlefield before, as if she's eager to witness me wielding the power of the Demon King." Wang Chong said slowly, "Once we've completely dealt with the three unstable leaders of the Sarkaz Mercenary Group, I can then make plans for the Royal Court."
"Host, are you going to open up a second battlefield so soon?" the system asked doubtfully.
"It's better to be prepared. Those ambitious people won't sit idly by and watch us destroy the entire Ursus Empire. It would be strange if they didn't come to get a piece of the pie. The people from Da Yan, Dongguo, and Kazdel are also targets that we need to pay special attention to."
Wang Chong said slowly, "Black Alice has recently determined, based on the information gathered by Black Mist, that people from these three factions have begun to pay attention to the Reunion Movement and are seeking information about us. Inès has even captured many criminals who attempted to infiltrate and has marked them one by one."
"Aren't you going to deal with them?"
"Catch the big fish with a long line, there's no rush." After Wang Chong finished talking to the system, he successfully brought Surtel to a simple house.
"You can live here alone for now. The person living in the house next to you happens to be a member of your team. You can get to know each other, which will be helpful when you fight together in the future." Wang Chong said.
"Hmm..." Surtur nodded. Before joining the Reunion Movement, she had already begun to understand what she would do after joining. Although she didn't care much for its ideologies, seeing Wang Chong constantly helping the hungry and needy villagers and fighting against the oppressive and arrogant Ursus soldiers, she could still distinguish between good and evil. Therefore, she was not opposed to fighting Ursus.
"Mr. Wang Chong, you are finally back." At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind him. Wang Chong turned around and saw Skadi slowly walking out of the house with his weapon on his back.
"What's wrong? Could it be that you have finished eating the blood pills? Your house looks like it has just been demolished once. Could it be that the ghost shark has gone crazy again?" Wang Chong looked at the house that obviously showed signs of repair and couldn't help but speak.
"Yes..." Skadi's face revealed a rare trace of fatigue. She said, "I just put Shark to sleep. She shouldn't make any more noise for the time being."
"That shouldn't be the case. I left enough blood pills. As long as we take them on time and in the right dosage, there should be enough for three days." Wang Chong frowned, then as if remembering something, he looked up at Skadi and said, "You didn't control the blood pills and she ate them all, did you?"
"...No." Skadi shook her head, looking a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "After Shark ate one, she wanted to eat more. Because she kept begging me, I couldn't help but..."
