Chapter 513: Chief Supervisor

Chapter 513: Chief Supervisor

“A hundred-year plan? That doesn’t sound that long.”

“…Not long?!”

“If you think you can challenge the Sanctuary Church within a hundred years, then it really isn’t long. No, there’s probably no one faster than you.”

“W-who… who said anything about challenging the Church? That’s the protagonist’s job.” Zheng Yichen curled his lip. He felt a bit confused too. Like, you cross over, encounter forces that have existed for millennia or longer, and just wipe them out? Single-handedly, with brute strength?

The problem is, with that much time, their individual power isn’t weak either. Geniuses? There’s no shortage of geniuses either.

“What I’m talking about is reaching the heavens.”

“Oh, that. Work hard then. I also want to learn some things through this.”

“Don’t think you can stay out of it!” Zheng Yichen shot her a glance. The more he learned, the more Zheng Yichen understood how difficult what he wanted to do really was. Even Irene hadn’t thought about breaking through that Wind Layer in the sky, despite mastering such powerful defensive Magic.

So Zheng Yichen had to revise some of his earlier plans. Stuff like poking through the sky with a rod-like object was basically impossible. He’d better think of other methods.

“Eh heh heh…”

“Heh heh heh…”

“I say, such a good thing, and you all really don’t plan to buy it?” Zheng Yichen placed a schematic in front of the Church’s person in charge within the Containment Zone. Each Quarantine Camp had a relevant person in charge, and this one was the Chief Supervisor…

Probably the previous one Zheng Yichen bothered got a bit annoyed, so they directly referred him here. With Zheng Yichen’s efficiency, getting here wasn’t a problem.

“…For a dragon, you are far too cunning.” Everyone had their personality. The Chief Supervisor of this Containment Zone wasn’t very polite… She looked at the schematic Zheng Yichen put down as she spoke. It was a machine, an Engineering machine, mixed with Alchemy elements. Generally, high-end Engineering products had parts from Alchemy. Maybe not the main structure, but parts were Alchemical Products, like an Otherworld version of artillery shells.

This was an automatic injector type of thing, specifically for those injection tasks, and it was very efficient. At normal speed, it could handle about one person every five seconds on average.

“Now, now, I still have a long way to go,” Zheng Yichen said modestly. The Chief Supervisor’s smile didn’t fade. “It’s a good thing. However, we don’t need equipment assistance here yet. We might need it after a while.”

In other words—not buying!

“Alright, I haven’t started making them anyway… Let’s switch to another one.” Zheng Yichen pulled out a whole pile of document folders, making the smile on the Chief Supervisor’s face gradually disappear. Are you kidding me? How much stuff did you even prepare?

“You know… you give me the feeling that you’re the one who caused this disaster.”

“Hey, am I that kind of person? I like making money, but that doesn’t mean I’d make dirty money. Clearly, it’s the aftereffects brought by the Undying Witch. What does it have to do with me? Right?”

“Hmm, alright. Let me see what all these things are.” The Chief Supervisor nodded and picked up those document folders. Zheng Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly. Look, go ahead and look. The more you look, the more you’ll need within the Containment Zone. Even though those were just drafts, and Zheng Yichen hadn’t made any samples, it didn’t matter. After all, this stuff wasn’t like the black and white Immunity Potions that were guaranteed to be used by the people from the Sanctuary Church. Other things… no matter what they were, if there was a need, he’d just make them first.

The Chief Supervisor looked carefully at the contents of Zheng Yichen’s document folders. After finishing, she couldn’t help but glance at Zheng Yichen again. “You know, if parts of these things got out, you might get beaten up.”

“I don’t mind being the Evil Dragon from a story once, provided they can find me.” Zheng Yichen scratched his ear. “That’s my biggest reliance.”

The Chief Supervisor gave a slight, derisive curl of her lip. “You say that with such confidence. As a dragon, don’t you think that’s shameful?”

“Shame doesn’t fill my stomach. Isn’t it better for me to be a mysterious figure?”

The Chief Supervisor sized up Zheng Yichen. “So, what’s mysterious about using a fake body to move around outside? It’s nothing more than hiding and scurrying around like a rat.”

Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but look at her a bit more. Yes, the person in charge Zheng Yichen met before was an older uncle. But this Chief Supervisor was a girl who looked quite young, the kind with a sharp mouth!

“Is it my imagination? You seem to have a lot of opinions about me?”

“It’s not your imagination. I do have a lot of opinions about you. Or rather, many people in the Church have a lot of opinions about you,” the Chief Supervisor said plainly. “And that includes me.”

“Fine. Then what I want to say is, I just love seeing you all having such strong opinions about me but being helpless about it. Do you want the stuff in here or not!”

The Chief Supervisor very directly pulled out a few from that pile of document folders. “Most of your things would make people become lazy. So these are enough.”

Tsk. Zheng Yichen glanced at the three document folders in the Chief Supervisor’s hand. What should he say? He had over a dozen plans for similar things, all of which could play very good roles within the Containment Zone. However, there was nothing with decisive effects like the Immunity Potions.

He couldn’t exactly develop a bunch of mobile suits (Gundams) for the Professionals to pilot and sweep those Human Forms, right?… That would naturally completely avoid the infection problem of the Flesh Seeds. Wait… mobile suits (Gundams)… it seemed he actually could make that…

Zheng Yichen started pondering as if no one else was there. Seeing Zheng Yichen’s attention wasn’t on her, the Chief Supervisor picked up the remaining documents and looked through them again. She was telling the truth. Within the Sanctuary Church, she was one of the people who had the strongest opinions about Zheng Yichen.

His coming here to discuss business was also within her instructions. As for the previous person in charge being annoyed? Didn’t exist. If the things Zheng Yichen brought out had value and were worth buying, the Church wouldn’t miss them. Especially things that could play a sufficient role at this critical juncture. If the previous Quarantine Camp supervisor had come to negotiate with him about the designs in these documents Zheng Yichen brought out, ninety percent would likely have been adopted.

With her here, naturally, it was much stricter. A large portion of that ninety percent that could have been adopted weren’t absolutely necessary right now. Needed later? If they were needed, she’d personally go find Zheng Yichen. But the earliest those things might be needed was half a month later. Therefore… all the extras were rejected!

She only kept the designs with high cost-effectiveness for the current situation. Although she rejected most of the designs, the Chief Supervisor still had to admit one thing: Zheng Yichen really was… a Secondary Profession talent of genius level. To be able to come up with so many designs in such a short time.

And all these designs were for convenience. Zheng Yichen could be called that extremely ‘people-friendly’ type of Auxiliary Profession Practitioner, not the kind whose basic research is just laying a foundation, and all research aims to pursue higher levels… Look at the results he created: plastic bags, faucets, toilet paper, etc. Could anything be more down-to-earth?

So what was this dragon thinking, focusing on Secondary Profession development? His strength improvement would definitely fall behind. Even for a dragon, this kind of unorthodox approach was a bit willful.

Willful? Zheng Yichen certainly didn’t think he was being willful. Earth’s knowledge meant his pursuits in Secondary Professions didn’t need the higher levels other Auxiliary Profession Practitioners sought. He just needed to accumulate his own skills and knowledge. Designing stuff… was that even a problem?

He had Earth’s civilization behind him! Wait until his knowledge was enough to materialize all the knowledge he was exposed to before crossing over, then they could talk about subsequent higher levels! Other Auxiliary Profession Practitioners studied and accumulated knowledge to achieve greater accomplishments, better designs, and research.

Zheng Yichen’s study and accumulation was about filling the countless frameworks that needed him to fill and perfect them. He never lacked research directions. He even had so many that he’d get worried when choosing. Fortunately, he was a dragon. He had plenty of time to mess around like this…

After carefully reviewing those designs, the Chief Supervisor put them aside and lightly clenched her right hand… Hmm, wanted them all!

Zheng Yichen’s designs could all be useful within the Containment Zone. Using them could free up over thirty percent more human resources… Well, it’s just surplus. Refusing them for now was fine. After all, the number of Church personnel within the Containment Zone was sufficient. The Magic Weapon Summoning Book’s material transportation brought too much convenience. Just the aspect of acquiring supplies alone saved a huge amount of manpower.

Originally having a surplus, freeing up an extra thirty percent or more manpower didn’t have much meaning.

After all, the tasks within the Containment Zone were quite singular now: exploring the Stone Forest, fully mapping out the situation inside it, and then cleaning up the Human Forms. Regarding the exploration of the Stone Forest, the Church’s stance was that since problems occurred there, there must be some reason for it. This reason was hidden somewhere in the Stone Forest. They needed to get a complete map first to solve it. Push through in one wave?

The Stone Forest was so big to begin with—unrealistic. With the Soul Spirits plus Human Forms inside, push… push like heck!

“I have a new creation that might be of great help for what you need. But… it’s very expensive!”

“Forget it then,” the Chief Supervisor said expressionlessly, conveying to Zheng Yichen that the Church wasn’t a sucker.

Zheng Yichen, of course, knew the Church wasn’t a sucker. But if the things he brought out gave them a real need, then it didn’t matter if they were suckers or not… He admitted he charged the Church a bit more for some of his stuff. Was that a problem? Who told them to keep having designs on his Loli!

“You’ll regret this!”

Zheng Yichen grabbed the rejected designs, angrily flicked his sleeve, and left. This behavior made the Chief Supervisor feel a bit confused. This sudden anger… Hmm, this dragon probably took the wrong medicine. But… what was it anyway?

Also, the matter wasn’t finished being discussed!
