Because the Canada government's efficiency in processing cases is extremely slow, it takes three to fifteen business days for an application to be approved or rejected.
Therefore, William, who had just arrived in this World, did not intend to waste any free time.
First, he asked Andre, that sturdy man, to arrange a reasonable plan to train his own frail body.
Health is the most important thing.
Waking up at six o'clock sharp, thirty minutes after finishing breakfast, he would go for a morning run with Andre to increase his lung capacity.
Then he would head to a gym not far from home, performing training for different muscle groups every day for over two hours.
For the first five days, William was in absolute misery.
His body felt like it was falling apart in the morning.
However, for the sake of health, this bit of pain was nothing.
If he gave up at this level, he might as well enjoy himself for a decade or so and then disappear along with the World.
Besides, after a week, William had adapted to this low-intensity training.
The results of twenty days of training were quite evident; his body was no longer as fragile as before.
At the same time, William also signed up for summer school classes.
Morning for exercise, afternoon for classes.
William didn't know what kind of help the system would provide him, but learning more was never a bad thing.
During his time at school, the female students he had previously had relationships with all flocked to his side, competing for his attention.
But William, after his rebirth, politely declined them all.
It wasn't that he didn't like them, but he knew that this group of female college students was only clinging to him because the previous version of himself was generous with money.
Time flew by for twenty-one days.
June 21, 2006, inside the St. Marys library;
William was sitting in front of a school computer, his right index finger pressing the Enter key on the keyboard, constantly refreshing the webpage on the screen.
The page was the official website of Access Nova Scotia Province, and he was checking the application for the company's name change.
Every time he refreshed, the mouse cursor would spin for several turns before the process was displayed.
After all, in this era, the internet was not as developed as it was before William transmigrated.
"Tsk!"
Seeing the progress bar after refreshing still showing "Please Wait," William couldn't help but frown.
Because today was the fifteenth business day.
Before transmigrating, he knew that the North American government's work efficiency was slow.
But it shouldn't be this slow!
"Forget it."
William muttered in a low voice and pressed the Enter key again.
However, before the webpage could even load this time, the system's voice rang in his ears again:
[Detected that the Host has successfully changed the defunct company to Umbrella Corporation.
Therefore, this system deems the Host has completed the mission.
Starting reward package, please wait...]
"Whoa—"
Looking at the still blank screen, he couldn't help but marvel at the system's reaction speed.
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an important character from the sci-fi game "halo" series, Catherine Elizabeth Halsey.
The implanted identity is a Professor at St. Marys University, where the Host is enrolled.
The Host can contact and talk to her at any time; this character will gladly accept the Host's recruitment and will never betray the Host.]
Halsey?
Hearing the words "halo" and "Halsey," William was stunned.
After all, he was a loyal fan of this series and Xbox, and because of that, he had never bought a Sony console.
Of course, except for that legendary device, the PSP.
So William certainly knew the 'power' of this Dr. Halsey.
The famous Spartan II unit in "halo" was created by this genius, Dr. Halsey.
With her here.
William believed that the Spartan Super Soldier program also had a high chance of being realized.
Immediately after, the system said again:
[This system will assist the Host in expanding the company scale, recruiting private troops, and producing unique private technology, etc.
Due to the need to face supernatural phenomena and objects, one day it will inevitably be noticed by governments around the World.
Therefore, this system suggests the Host cooperate with governments around the World.
Or.
Through cultural output, economic control, and military suppression, force governments around the World to assist the Host's operations.
The Host also needs to hide the existence of supernatural phenomena and objects from ordinary humans as much as possible.
Unlocking permissions, please wait...
...
System Funds: 5 billion USD.
Troop recruitment permissions enabled:
1. Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.)
2. Umbrella Security Service (U.S.S.)
...
The Host needs to use the system funds to improve company staff and expand the company scale.
Employees can be divided into two grades: ordinary and advanced, and the Host can personally define the specific levels.
Ordinary employees handle surface-level work, such as normal office work, construction, production, etc.
Advanced employees are responsible for the following contents;
Responsible for recruiting the two special response units for Umbrella.
Manufacturing new types of weaponry to provide support for the Host's troops.
Researching how to contain and control anomalous life forms or phenomena.
Building secret facilities for containment, experimentation, and training.
Etc.
...
Mission:
Recruit personnel with loyalty over 50 and combat power over 50 to join the UBCS.
Recruit personnel with loyalty over 60 and combat power over 60 to join the USS.
Target number:
UBCS: 100
USS: 20
Mission Rewards:
1. The Host will gain the Assimilation skill.
2. Four draws from the "resident evil" game series.
3. System funds increased to 50 billion USD.
...
Items to note;
1. Maximum loyalty value is 100.
2. Combat power is defined as a comprehensive evaluation of shooting, combat, reaction speed, physical fitness, etc.
The average combat power value of an ordinary adult male who has not undergone any training is 30.
No upper limit value.
3. The Host can use 50,000 in funds monthly for personal use; as the Host's permissions increase, the available funds will also increase.
4. Detected that anomalous objects or phenomena in this World will begin to appear in 180 days.
This system suggests the Host complete the task of forming private troops as soon as possible.]
...
Listening to the system's emotionless words, his facial expression gradually became stern.
As the voice faded, William immediately asked:
'System, where does this money come from?
According to what I've learned, the current total broad money supply of the U.S. dollar is only 6.8 trillion, right?
Suddenly having an extra 5 billion appear out of thin air, wouldn't this be directly discovered by Canada and the United States?'
[Replying to the Host, system funds all come from the real World.
For example, if a dime or a dollar is missing from your account, would you care?]
'Uh... I guess so.'
[...]
'Continue.'
[This system extracts wealth from the global population based on a ratio, with the total amount remaining unchanged.
During our conversation just now, this system has already transferred 5 billion USD in assets to the Host's bank account.
This system has also activated the highest bank permissions for the Host.
You can freely exchange Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars, and perform U.S. dollar transfers within Canada, etc.
Because a reasonable transfer record was created, it is the hidden inheritance left behind by the Host's Grandpa, Sears Russell.
The bank and the government will not have any suspicions, so please rest assured and use it.]
