Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

Link nodded slightly, a hint of expectation in his expression: "Yes, it's good that you have that determination. What you need to do now is adapt to and get used to this new world as quickly as possible. When the time is right, I plan to build another elite intelligence organization, which will infiltrate every corner of this world like a shadow in the night. If you perform well then, this important task will be entrusted to you."

"Yes, sir! Fiora will do her utmost to live up to your expectations!" Fiora nodded emphatically.

After saying that, Link turned his gaze and landed on Hannah next to Fiora.

In the original comic, her age was mentioned; she seemed to be over forty. She had dedicated her entire youth to education and had never been in a relationship. Like a snow lotus that had never been touched by worldly emotions, she was a true "old maid."

However, under the influence of the system's mysterious and unpredictable power, Hannah standing in front of us at this moment does not look like a forty-year-old at all.

She has a perfect face shape and fair, smooth skin, just like a pear blossom with dew in early spring.

Her face was adorned with just the right amount of light makeup, which accentuated her beautiful features. With such stunning beauty, she looked exactly like a graceful and charming woman in her twenties, making it impossible not to turn one's head to look at her.

Then, turning our attention to her attire, we saw that she was wearing the same impressive teacher's uniform from the comics.

The white shirt was clean and crisp, paired with a black pencil skirt that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.

Her long, slender legs were encased in black stockings, and she wore a pair of exquisite high heels. Every step she took seemed to touch one's heart.

Her smooth black hair was carefully styled into a bun at the back of her head, adding to her mature feminine charm.

This appearance is so alluring, it makes one's heart flutter.

Especially her two proud, full breasts, tightly wrapped in the white shirt, but the shirt buttons seemed unable to withstand the enormous pressure, and gaps between the buttons were faintly visible as they were pulled.

Between those gaps was a bottomless cleavage, like a deep abyss of desire, exuding a fatal attraction.

Link felt a surge of evil fire rushing from his lower abdomen to his head. He frantically tried to suppress the fire, and it took a lot of effort to forcefully quell the burning evil fire in his abdomen.

38. Transform it into a Crystal Palace

He forced himself to remain calm, looked at Hannah, and asked, "Hannah, how much do you know about chemistry and physics? Do you have any way to implement technologies like cement production and steelmaking?"

"Lord Link, the subjects I usually teach are physics and chemistry. As for cement and steelmaking, which you mentioned..."

Hannah lowered her head slightly, her brows furrowed, and she fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she raised her eyes, a confident gleam in them, and slowly said, "Lord Link, I think we can give it a try, but we need to find all the necessary materials first."

"To make cement, you first need to find clay, or various pottery fragments, slag ash, etc., and take 75% of the total amount; then find quicklime, and control the amount between 20% and 25%; in addition, you need calcined gypsum, or gypsum ore, put it in an iron pot, heat it to 130 to 180 degrees, stir it constantly until it turns grayish-yellow, and take 5% of it."

“Grind these materials into powder, then mix them thoroughly in this ratio to make mixed cement. This type of cement has excellent resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, but the curing period is relatively long, about twenty days. Generally speaking, it takes two to three months to reach the standard strength. However, compared with modern cement, its overall performance is definitely inferior, and I estimate that its grade can only reach about 200 to 400.”

"As for steelmaking, building a modern electric furnace is undoubtedly a pipe dream in this era. But we can try the ancient blast furnace method, although the steel produced by this method has a high carbon content and is brittle and hard, suitable only for casting and difficult to forge. How to reduce the carbon content will have to be found later. By the way, Lord Link, is there any river nearby?"

“River? Of course there is!” Link answered without hesitation. “To the southeast of Winterfell City, there is a river that never freezes. Winterfell City was built along this river and has been able to develop to this day.”

Water is the source of life. In this era, the availability of a stable water source was the primary consideration when building a city.

Otherwise, the water needed for farming alone would become an insurmountable obstacle.

"But Hannah, you asked me about the river. Are you planning to use water to cool down the steelmaking process?" Link asked curiously, looking puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Hannah smiled slightly and shook her head gently: "The presence of a river nearby is indeed good news. If there really is a river, we can make full use of water power to build a converter to solve the problem of excessive carbon content in blast furnace steelmaking. By continuously stirring the molten iron in the converter and using a blower to constantly blow air into it, carbon can combine with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide. In this way, we can continuously reduce the carbon content in the molten iron and thus produce low-carbon steel."

You truly are a professional...

As Link listened to Hannah's clear and concise explanation, he couldn't help but admire her inwardly.

When faced with a river, his first thought was simply to leisurely fish and enjoy a moment of tranquility; but Hannah was quick to associate it with the utilization of water resources and closely integrate it with steelmaking processes.

Indeed, professional matters should be left to professionals.

If it were an ordinary young man from the 21st century like him, he would have never even heard of terms like cement making, blast furnace steelmaking, or converter.

“Very good, Hannah!” Link said solemnly, “I hereby officially appoint you as the Minister of Scientific Research and Development. Tell me what you need, and I will do my utmost to prepare all the necessary materials. Your task is to turn these beneficial technologies into reality!”

"Yes, sir! Thank you for your trust and high regard!"

Hannah nodded and replied with considerable gratitude.

Link immediately raised his hand and tapped the table lightly, calling out to the maid. He carefully instructed her to arrange accommodations for Fiora and Hannah.

The castle of the city lord's mansion is very large, with many rooms. Link used to lament that there were too few people in the castle and the empty rooms seemed too lonely. Now that there are two more beauties, it has injected fresh life into this huge castle.

This is quite nice. The once somewhat desolate mansion is gradually being filled with warmth and human presence.

He let all the pretty girls live here, and since he was the only man here, Old Slo, who was the housekeeper, also lived in his own house most of the time.

Well, isn't this just another kind of Crystal Palace?

It's simply paradise!

39. The Road to Change

After settling Fiona and Hannah into their lodgings, Link retrieved the two remaining books from the lottery, along with the uniquely charming Kalia Knight Sword, from the system.

This sword is truly dazzling; its hilt is like a sapphire, shimmering with a faint blue light in the dim light, as if some mysterious power lurks within it.

Link reached down and unsheathed his sword, slowly drawing the ordinary knight's sword he was originally wearing.

When placed side by side, at a glance, the two appear to be about the same size.

But when he gripped the hilt with both hands and weighed it in his hands, he could tell the difference; the Cagliari Knight's Sword was noticeably heavier.

However, compared to that overly heavy Dragon Slayer Sword, the Kalia Knight Sword was much lighter.

Link can only store the Dragon Slayer Sword in the system space now. If he had to carry it with him all the time, he would be exhausted and out of breath in no time.

Compared to the other two, the Kalia Knight's Sword was undoubtedly more to his liking; holding it in his hand, it felt as if it had been tailor-made for him.

In contrast, the ordinary knight's sword now seemed far too light and flimsy.

"From now on, you will be by my side."

Link extended his finger and lightly flicked the blade.

In an instant, the sharp blade, gleaming with cold light, emitted a crisp hum, a clear and melodious sound, as if responding to Link's approval.

Link smiled slightly and contentedly sheathed the Kalia Knight Sword.

As for the ordinary knight's sword, he found an exquisite sword rack and placed it steadily on the cabinet next to the bookshelf, thus giving it a safe place.

Finally, Link turned his gaze to the two books, gently picked them up with both hands, and began to turn the pages one by one.

In the time to come, he will become a conveyor of knowledge.

Link plans to organize and categorize the important knowledge mentioned in the two books one by one, and then hand it over to Jin Meiting to contribute to the development of Winter City.

Thinking of this, Link immediately spread out the paper, prepared the ink, and began to write rapidly.

Normally, he doesn't feel the time rushing by, but once he gets busy, time flies by in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for Della preparing lunch and bringing him a bowl of food to remind him not to overwork himself, he wouldn't have known it was already noon.

He thanked Della and then devoured his lunch in the blink of an eye.

After the meal, Link didn't even have time to rest. He immediately picked up the organized documents and strode towards Jin Meiting, who was busy at work.

On Jin Meiting's desk, there were many documents piled up.

Beside those documents, her untouched lunch sat quietly.

Seeing that the food in the bowl was intact, Link unconsciously withdrew his hand, which was about to hand over the documents.

"Lord Link, were you planning to give me these documents to process? Why did you take them back? Let me see them quickly."

Jin Meiting raised her eyes and asked softly, her voice clearly betraying her exhaustion.

I imagine Kim Mi-ting has been busy since morning.

"Eat first, and be good."

Link did not respond to her. Instead, he reached out and gently took the document from her hand, then stood up, pulled her up from the chair, and sat down himself.

"You should eat first. I'll handle these documents for you. You can continue your work after you've eaten and drunk your fill. This is an order." Link's expression was serious, and his tone left no room for argument.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Jin Meiting smiled helplessly, then obediently picked up her bowl and chopsticks, sat down on the sofa, and began to eat heartily.

"Now that the new government system is newly established, many officials are newly appointed and dare not make decisions easily when they encounter difficult problems. So they report to me and ask me to make decisions. I feel that my workload is much greater than before."

“That’s natural. After all, many of them are newly promoted and lack experience. Once they learn and gradually figure out how to handle things, things will naturally become much easier,” Link comforted her.

"By the way, sir, what are these documents you've prepared for me about? Let me take a look..."

As Jin Meiting spoke, she took the documents that Link had brought and began to look through them while eating.

The information on the document was rich and diverse, covering almost every aspect of life, from agricultural planting and vegetable cultivation to the construction of mortise and tenon structures for houses, from livestock breeding and disease treatment to the identification of herbs.

“I have specially compiled this knowledge. Jin Meiting, after that, you will give these materials to people in the relevant fields, let them learn and understand them first, and then spread them widely to teach more people in Winter City. In this way, everyone can master these practical skills and better build Winter City.”

"Okay! I understand!" Jin Meiting nodded vigorously and didn't say anything more.

She knew in her heart that the knowledge contained in these materials was of extraordinary significance.

If this matter can be handled well and more people can master these skills, Winterfell will surely undergo a transformative change!

40. Is it good or bad?

After lunch, Jin Meiting carefully tidied up the dishes and chopsticks, then gracefully moved to Link's side, stretched out her slender hand, and gently pushed his shoulder.

"Lord Link, I'm finished eating. Leave the rest of the work to me."

Link nodded slightly, but did not get up to give up his seat.

Under Jin Meiting's slightly surprised gaze, he chuckled mischievously, then slowly took her hand, his movements gentle yet irresistible, and gently pressed her back onto the sofa.

"Don't rush, rest a little longer. You've really had a tough time these past few days, I can feel it. How about I give you a shoulder massage to help you relax?"

"This...this isn't quite right, is it?" Jin Meiting blushed slightly and declined shyly.

"Sorry, but you can't refuse."

Link's lips curled up. "Come on, lie down obediently."

Upon hearing this, Jin Meiting gently leaned back on the sofa.

Link gently placed his hands on Jin Meiting's shoulders and back. As soon as his fingertips touched her taut muscles, he noticed the soreness caused by her fatigue from working hard for days.

He focused his mind slightly and began to circulate the battle qi within his body.

In an instant, the orange-red battle aura, like nimble threads, slowly seeped into Jin Meiting's body, flowing along his fingers...

The principle behind this operation is quite simple: it simply uses the warmth of the fighting energy to nourish the body, thereby promoting blood circulation and invigorating the body.

This is a method of using battle aura that Link only recently figured out and mastered.

Perhaps this is why people with greater strength have more abundant life energy.

After all, battle qi and magic power are constantly nourishing the body, so the vitality is naturally more vigorous than that of ordinary people.

When using this ability, the most direct feeling is a warm sensation all over the body, as if one were in a hot spring, which is very pleasant.

After the massage, you will feel refreshed and relaxed all over.

With such a thoughtful massage, Jin Meiting felt all her fatigue gradually dissipate with Link's movements. She closed her eyes contentedly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Seeing that Link hadn't done anything else out of line, she was completely relieved and immersed herself in the comfort.

At this moment, Link said softly, "Okay, turn over and lie flat on the sofa."

"Ah."

Jin Meiting responded softly, slowly adjusting her posture and lying flat on the sofa.

Her beautiful figure, like a graceful painting, was perfectly displayed before Link's eyes.

Such a sight is truly breathtaking, especially those proud twin peaks, which resemble plump, large balls, making one wish to immediately bury their head in them and indulge in unbridled pleasure.

Not urgent!

Link secretly warned himself that he couldn't be impatient; haste makes waste!

Although they are all characters manifested by Link through the system, they are loyal to him and there is no possibility of them betraying him.
