A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

"We must provide them with the best medical care, giving them a natural medical guarantee and reducing the pressure of treating orthostatic hypoxia. At the same time, we must also support these miners, providing them with enough supplies every month so that they can live a good life."

"I've also written down all the specific plans in the distributed materials. With this miners' welfare guarantee system, not only will everyone be convinced, but it will also fulfill the original ideal of our Reunion Movement: to completely wash away the stigma associated with the infected!"

A flame seemed to burn in Alina's eyes as she clenched her fist and said:

"From this moment on, infected people are no longer synonymous with danger, filth, or people who can be bullied by everyone. Instead, they are heroes, sacrificers, and glorious symbols of those who have contributed to the people!"

Alina's words resonated with everyone present. Most of them were infected with Oripathy, and even the toughest men couldn't help but shed tears upon hearing them.

"Clap clap..."

Then, a round of enthusiastic applause broke out, and everyone present was moved by Alina's words.

At this moment, no one stood up to oppose the proposal to mine ore. On the contrary, many people felt that it was an urgent matter for their integration movement to lead out a new mode of production.

"Well... although it looks very promising, can our Reunion Movement afford the cost?" The speaker was a representative in charge of managing material allocation. Although he didn't really want to oppose it, the cost did force him to consider it carefully.

“That’s another problem that needs to be solved,” Wang Chong chuckled and said. “At least we have transformed the problem that could have caused the Integration Movement to split up right now into an economic problem that will take a long time to reveal its hidden dangers.”

"For the current integration movement, which only needs food as a basic resource guarantee, it can still support this expenditure. After all, our crop harvest is what it is, and Alina also took the yield into account when setting the scope."

"Specifically, you can discuss what areas still need optimization and thoroughly establish sufficiently suitable data. Now that the framework is in place, the rest is to leverage everyone's strengths."

"Understood." Everyone nodded immediately and began to carefully optimize the sketch submitted by Alina.

……

"Tsk tsk tsk... Alina, you've really impressed me today."

Talulah looked at her friend with satisfaction and said.

From being a teacher to children, then a mentor for ideological reform, and now the political commissar of the entire Reunification Movement, Talulah has watched her friend grow up.

Even so, Talulah was still amazed by Alina's performance today.

"Could it be that Chong is paving the way for Alina? I remember that a few days before we took the mine, Chong often came to see you, Alina." Frostnova said with a smile, "I originally thought that you two would spark something."

"Wh...what spark? Yelena, don't make those weird jokes." Alina's face flushed slightly; her girlish thoughts were now laid bare before her two friends. The two exchanged a glance, neither of them saying a word.

"Wh...what spark? Yelena, don't make those weird jokes." Alina's face flushed slightly; her girlish thoughts were now laid bare before her two friends. The two exchanged a glance, neither of them saying a word.

"However, Mr. Wang Chong did give me a lot of guidance. He gave me an idea for a concept and provided me with some books to broaden my horizons," Alina said, scratching her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"So, I'm not as amazing as you all think. This is all thanks to Mr. Wang Chong's help."

"I disagree with that," Wang Chong said, approaching the three men with a bottle and glasses of liquor. After arranging the glasses and pouring in freshly brewed spirits, he smiled and said:

"Alina, although I provided guidance, those systems and frameworks were all built and organized by you alone. From that moment on, you were already a qualified political commissar."

"..." Alina didn't say much, but the three people present could see her lowering her head and secretly rejoicing.

"Since it was Ah Chong's suggestion, is there any room for improvement in Alina's answer sheet?" Talulah took a sip of her drink and then asked. (The last part, "You Lin Yong, didn't you think about it? You Lin Zai Zai, didn't you...", seems unrelated and likely a separate thought.)

"Haven't you already come to some conclusions? Why ask me again?" Wang Chong chuckled and said, "I am not a god, nor am I omniscient or omnipotent. The reason you think I am right is simply because my era is ahead of yours."

"Moreover... as I said before, this welfare system is indeed sufficient to guarantee the treatment of miners at the current stage when the Reunification Movement only needs food as a basic necessity."

"But if we wait until the country is prosperous and the people's living standards improve and they have new desires, should we still stick to the old ways? Therefore, there is never an absolutely correct system, only the system that is most suitable for the current stage."

"Each stage has its own tasks to accomplish. Each stage also has its own rules for survival. This is true of the world, and it is true of civilization. In short, I hope you can keep your minds active and never stop thinking."

"Then in the distant future, let's confidently hand over the task to the next generation to solve new problems. Let's toast to ourselves now, and to the integrated future."

Wang Chong picked up his wine glass, toasted with the three men, and then drank it all in one gulp.

With a slightly flushed face, Alina placed her hands to her lips and gently breathed warm air onto her face. Gazing at this heartwarming scene, Alina secretly resolved to fulfill her responsibilities and nurture a new generation capable of shouldering the heavy burdens of the Reunion Movement.

"When Yelena, Xiaolu, and Mr. Wang Chong are all able to lay down their burdens, perhaps we can all enjoy life peacefully together. I just hope that day isn't too far away, and that I don't end up looking like an old woman."

Alina had long harbored feelings for Wang Chong, but because of her background and abilities, she remained separated from him by a thin veil and dared not make the confession.

"Come on, Alina, today is your chance to shine! Have a few more drinks to liven things up. Who knows, maybe in a moment of passion you'll achieve your dream?"

In a blur, Alina seemed to hear Talulah saying something. She looked at Talulah with a hint of reproach, thinking to herself:

"Hmph, that wretched Xiao Lu, she knows I'm not good at drinking this, but she kept forcing me to drink it. Sigh... I know you want to help me. It's just a pity that even alcohol can't make me any bolder."

With a sigh, Alina's eyes held complex emotions, but she finally smiled faintly and drank the wine glass after glass.

Chapter 222: Alina's Thoughts

"Ugh, my head hurts so much..."

When Alina opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.

"Good morning, Alina. Here, drink this hangover soup." The familiar voice of her best friend rang out. Alina was helped up and held the bowl of hot soup handed to her by her best friend Talulah. Alina slowly picked up the bowl and drank it slowly.

"Sigh, I didn't expect you to have such a low alcohol tolerance, Alina. You fell asleep before you even mustered up the courage to drink. Yelena and I were too embarrassed to take you to Ah Chong's place for the night, so we brought you back to rest properly."

Talulah sighed and said.

"You guys are too...cough cough!...You've misunderstood. My feelings for Mr. Wang Chong...cough cough! It hasn't come to that point yet...cough cough cough!" Alina, whose secret had been exposed, quickly retorted, which resulted in her choking on her soup.

"Stop arguing. If it really wasn't true, I would have only mentioned it once. Why are you so anxious that you choked on your soup?" Talulah patted Alina's back and then said:

"Don't rush to refute me, or next time I'm doing 'that' with Ah Chong at night, I'll suddenly jump out and drag you out as an eavesdropper."

"...You...you know everything? When did this happen!? What about Mr. Wang Chong? Does he know about this?" Alina, now caught red-handed, fully woke up and asked in a flustered manner, her face flushed with embarrassment.

“I knew from the first time I did that with Ah Chong. You didn't notice your antlers were already showing at the window, did you?” Talulah chuckled as she sat down in the chair next to her, then continued:

"Besides, I wasn't the first one to know. Guess whose eyes first caught sight of your antlers?"

"Waaah! Don't say any more." Alina covered her face with her hands, the blush spreading all the way to her neck, making her fair skin look like a pink lotus root.

"Hey~ Are you sure you don't want to listen? I asked Ah Chong what he thought of you, are you sure you don't want to listen?" Talulah said with a smile, deliberately teasing Alina.

"!! Then, what...what did he say?" Alina spread her fingers and looked at Talulah expectantly.

“He said, ‘Alina, you’re a good girl, but it would be even better if you were a little braver and more proactive.’” Talulah snorted and said, “He’s always looking for something better than what he has. As soon as he said that, I immediately bit him.”

"Huh? Does he feel pain?" Alina asked instinctively, but she quickly realized she had been tricked and lowered her head.

Sure enough, Talulah said with a wicked smile, "Hmph, if he had heard your words of concern back then, even if I had bitten harder, it wouldn't have hurt."

"..." Alina had completely buried her face in the blankets and covered her ears with her hands. It was clear that she didn't want to hear another word from Talulah.

"Alright, alright... But Alina, you really lack self-confidence." Talulah simply sat on the edge of the bed, took Alina's hands, and advised, "Just like Ah Chong said, you just need to be a little braver and more proactive."

"I...I can't...Not to mention Mr. Wang Chong's side, there are also Miss Artoria, Miss Arcueid and other people, even just you, Lulu and Yelena, I am far inferior."

Alina lowered her head and slowly said, "I am neither as good-looking as you, nor as strong as you..."

"But you also have your own special skills, don't you? Didn't you come up with something yesterday that no one else had thought of? That's your strength, your uniqueness."

Talulah gently comforted her:

"As for your looks, you don't need to worry at all. You've already grown into that bad man's good spot. Besides, it's precisely because Ah Chong is surrounded by so many beautiful women that he doesn't really have much of a concept of beauty anymore."

"In other words, as long as you're passable, he's fine. But once your personality or other strengths appeal to him, this insatiable wolf will devour you without hesitation."

"Pfft... A greedy, insatiable big bad wolf? That's so unlike Mr. Wang Chong," Alina chuckled.

However, Talulah shook her head and said:

"So you've never really understood Ah Chong. You like him, but you also admire him, and it's this admiration that makes you always keep your distance from Ah Chong."

"Get to know him properly, get closer to him... Don't hold onto that feeling of admiration anymore. Remember, you should treat him as your man, not as an idol."

"When that time comes, you'll naturally discover just how insatiable this 'bad man' really is."

……

"Achoo! I feel like someone's thinking about me."

Wang Chong rubbed his nose, looking at the 100 skilled craftsmen that Ines had found for him early that morning, as instructed. Many of them looked familiar, as they were mostly selected from construction teams.

Wang Chong even saw that familiar leader again—the Sarkaz girl, Niyan.

"Although architectural engineering and the creation of refined construction units are two different fields, much like the difference between civil engineering and mechanical manufacturing, they do have some commonalities. Nowadays, we can only use one material for multiple purposes."

Wang Chong understood that his team was still too small, and most of them came from poor backgrounds. There were hardly any truly professional talents, let alone too few.

The engineering team members in front of them had also received the notification and knew that they bore the heavy responsibility of solving the mining problems. At this moment, they were all on high alert.

"I believe you've mostly seen those design drawings. Let me put it this way, you don't need to worry about the materials; the real issue is whether you can actually manufacture the product."

Wang Chong slowly said:

"The protective suit is less like clothing and more like a casting unit. In other words, I'm having you create something as intricate as a staff. I don't need to elaborate on the difficulty involved."

"While the Originium Dust Ventilation and Recovery System is a familiar field in the construction industry, it raises the bar for materials and construction processes to a new level. It is no longer something that can be made simply with stone, wood, or concrete."

"Therefore, your task for the next week is to master the new techniques I will teach you and to make 100 sets of miners' protective suits for the initial mining operations."

"A week?..."

Those present began to discuss the matter, their faces showing unease. After all, this was an uncertain task to begin with, and they were tasked with producing 100 sets in such a short time; they were truly unsure of their abilities.

However, trusting Wang Chong, they decided to give it a try, even if it meant giving it their all.

So Mudstone, who was in charge, spoke up and asked, "What exactly do we need to do? Shall we begin the lesson now?"

"I have an ability called initiation. You can understand it as my ability to transfer the knowledge I have into your minds at the fastest speed, so that you can instantly possess the experience and skills that others take decades to accumulate."

Wang Chong held the [Elite Craftsman Conversion Scroll] in his palm and said, "Close your eyes, empty your mind, and don't think about refusing."

Everyone did as instructed, and Wang Chong immediately used the conversion scroll on everyone present.

"Ugh..." Everyone felt their heads were throbbing, as if a large amount of information was flashing through their minds.

"Bear with it, then relax a bit. It's normal to feel dizzy; it's a normal phenomenon that a lot of knowledge is flooding into your minds. Soon you will be able to directly master skills that others take decades to learn."

Wang Chong said slowly, "Where's Lin Yong? Is Lin Zaizai free?"

Then, as time slowly passed, Wang Chong watched the [Elite Craftsman Conversion Scroll] in his hand turn into a stream of light and disappear before nodding in satisfaction and saying with a smile, "Everyone, you can open your eyes now."

The construction team members present opened their eyes, their expressions filled with astonishment, clearly noticing the changes within themselves.

"Come on, take another look at the design drawings. Do you understand everything now, even the parts you didn't quite grasp before?" Wang Chong asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone began to compare the design drawings with the knowledge in their minds. Soon, they all showed surprise, and some even burst into laughter, clearly having completely understood the design drawings of the protective suits.

Chapter 223: Manufacturing Protective Clothing

"He actually understood it all... Amazing! This is simply divine! Your Excellency!"

An overly excited man in his fifties almost knelt down before Wang Chong, preparing to kowtow and pay his respects. However, he was stopped just as he bent his knees, and Wang Chong said sternly:

"Old Qiao, have you completely forgotten what I said? We will never do anything like kneeling down. Are you trying to make me make a mistake?"

"Hey, look at my memory, I have too much stuff in my head, and I was too excited, so I just did it subconsciously. Your Excellency, please don't take it to heart."

The old man, whom Wang Chong addressed as Old Man Qiao, smiled apologetically, and no one was surprised, as he had clearly made this mistake more than once or twice.

"Alright, since there are no problems, you can study this carefully. I'll bring the materials later and then take you to the factory. You'll have a day to familiarize yourselves with the knowledge I just taught you. We can start manufacturing the protective suits tomorrow."

Wang Chong spoke slowly.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement immediately.

Afterwards, Wang Chong pretended to leave to find materials, but actually chose a secluded place.

"System, how's the material tallying going? Just tell me how much reputation I need," Wang Chong asked slowly.

"If it's just 100 protective suits plus a complete Originium dust ventilation and recovery system, plus the materials that might be lost in the process, 1000 reputation points will be enough."

"That's what the system said."

"Hmm? It's much cheaper than I expected." Wang Chong said, stroking his chin after seeing the figure.

"Yes, the main part is the ventilation and recycling system. 100 sets of protective suits only cost 10 reputation points."

The system said:

"After all, raw materials are usually the cheapest thing, and I exchange them almost entirely by the ton. In addition, the materials needed are not particularly rare; they are mostly common materials found on this land."

"Remember, what is truly expensive is always the technology and the talent who use it to process and create."

"Okay, exchange it for me first, then just take out the materials for making the protective suits. They only need these right now."

Wang Chong spoke slowly.

"Yes, ma'am. Your current reputation value is approximately 51."

As the system spoke, it presented Wang Chong with a variety of materials used in the manufacture of protective clothing, including solid source rock (an adsorbent for the decomposition products of source rock gas), RMA70-12 (an excellent conductive material), and gel (characterized by high strength, light weight, and ease of processing).

"These are some old friends, especially the solidified source rock. We used it a lot to knead jade back then," Wang Chong said with emotion as he looked at the familiar shapes of the materials.
