Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 283: Progress Report



In a section of the warehouse, Silas could be seen lying down on what looks like a hospital bed, with his family standing beside him.

It has been more than twenty minutes since Silas got out of the Evolution Capsule and his family has been looking at him in curiosity, and unable to take their eyes off him.

Silas smiled when he saw this. He understood that this was the first time they are seeing him going through his evolution. He knew that they had a lot of questions they want to ask him but unfortunately for them, he can’t answer any of it now.

Taking his mind off himself, he studied his family for any noticable physical changes that they experienced during their enhancement.

He didn’t have to look much as the changes could be seen at a glance. His father had unbelievably added some height, grown taller.

The streaks of gray hair that were previously on his head were nowhere to be found. His body could be said to be at its optimal shape and condition.

His muscles were now outlined perfectly. His skin now also has an healthy glow to it and his eyes were bright, and filled with life.

The changes in Kim made her look more beautiful than she was before. Her black silky hair, tied up in a ponytail, now runs her back and stopping at her mid section.

Just like his dad, her skin has an healthy glow to it, her eyes bright and her beauty, complemented by the beautiful smile on her face.

These changes were the same for Alex too. But Silas couldn’t help but feel that there was something more to it. He felt that Alex changed in more ways that he’s showing physically.

He could feel an aura around Alex—an aura that gave him a strange feeling.

Silas was curious to know what it was and this is the reason why he asked Luna to bring up Alex’s medical reports after his enhancement was completed.

"Son, how are you feeling?" Chris asked Silas for the umpteenth time, causing Silas to smile as he answered as he has always answered.

"I’m fine dad. There’s nothing to worry about. I’m just feeling weak that’s all."

It was only after a few more minutes of constantly asking him how he was and him giving them the same answers, did they finally let him be.

After they left, Silas got down from the bed and went to the bathroom built into the warehouse, to take his shower.

After he was done taking his shower, Silas stood in front of the wall mirror, assessing his body for any changes.

After a full minute, he found nothing. His body was the same as it was before got into the Evolution Capsule.

"I guess I shouldn’t expect anymore changes to my physical appearance. What’s left to check out is how strong I’ve gotten," Silas said to himself after he was done assessing his body.

"Luna, what’s the progress on things?" Silas asked as he stepped out of the bathroom.

{Smooth. 10% progress has been on the plan related to Venezuela. It now stands almost on the same level of a first world country.}

"So fast? How is that even possible?" Silas asked in surprise.

He understood what Luna meant by 10%. It didn’t sound much but it was hell of a progress for a country that was at the lowest of the low.

{The US government lifted their sanctions. Same as the rest of the world. This was one of the reasons why we experienced that much progress.}

Silas’ eyes widened in surprise when he heard this. He couldn’t help but turn to look at Luna for explanation.

"How? Why?" He asked after being unable to hold in his curiosity.

{You guessed as much. They did it in exchange for us to forget about the situation with Daniel.} Luna said and Silas smiled in understanding.

"So they really want me to forget everything that happened, huh? Do they really think it’s that easy? Tsk." Silas smiled.

"Luna, explain to me how you were able to achieve everything in about 8 months," Silas said as he took his seat on the bed.

"Alright, Luna," Silas said, leaning back, fingers tapping rhythmically on the chair’s armrest. "Let’s hear it. How did we pull this off?"

Luna pulled up an holographic window from Silas’ quantum smartwatch.

The hologram shifted, revealing an interactive map of Venezuela. The once-chaotic landscape now gleamed with vivid highlights, indicating key areas of improvement.

Cities sparkled like jewels, infrastructure lines crisscrossed the map in vibrant colors, and small annotations displayed progress metrics.

Luna gestured to the map as it zoomed into Caracas, the capital.

{The first and most critical step was stabilizing the nation politically and economically,} she said.

{When we began, Venezuela was caught in a relentless cycle of hyperinflation, corruption, and resource mismanagement. The government structure was failing, and trust among the populace was almost nonexistent.}

Silas nodded, recalling the initial challenges. "And that’s when we stepped in with the covert influence, right?"

{Correct,} Luna confirmed.

{Using carefully orchestrated interventions, we destabilized key figures within the corrupt government. However, rather than leaving a power vacuum, we placed competent, reform-oriented leaders in their stead.

This included leveraging financial incentives, public outreach campaigns, and, where necessary, quiet eliminations of harmful elements.}

The hologram displayed a series of political charts. One highlighted the turnover of government officials, with corruption indices plummeting sharply within months.

{With the new administration in place, we immediately addressed hyperinflation by introducing a temporary currency pegged to the U.S. dollar. This restored public confidence and stabilized the economy, Luna continued.

Silas smirked. "A currency backed by infinite wealth certainly helped."

Luna inclined her head. {Indeed. By flooding strategic sectors with capital, we ensured liquidity while funding critical projects. Simultaneously, we deployed an elite team to secure Venezuela’s most valuable resource: its oil.}

The map zoomed into Venezuela’s oil fields, their locations glowing brightly. Luna’s voice took on a technical tone.

{Historically, oil has been Venezuela’s backbone, but mismanagement and outdated infrastructure turned it into a curse rather than a blessing. We modernized the facilities using advanced technology sourced from your system. Efficiency increased by 400%, and environmental impacts were minimized.}

Graphs showing oil production soared upwards, while environmental impact metrics dropped significantly.

{However, rather than becoming overly reliant on oil revenues again, we diversified. Using surplus oil profits, we invested heavily in renewable energy—solar, wind, and hydroelectric. Venezuela is now a leader in green energy across South America.}

Silas raised an eyebrow. "You’re telling me Venezuela is no longer just an oil state?"

{Precisely,} Luna said with a nod.

{Our diversification efforts have made its economy robust and resilient. Exports now include advanced renewable technology and agriculture, alongside oil. The country is no longer vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices.}

Luna swiped her hand across the hologram, and images of Venezuela’s cities came into view. Streets once riddled with potholes now gleamed with smooth pavement, modern rail systems wove through urban centers, and vibrant markets bustled with activity.

{Infrastructure was key,} Luna explained.

{We rebuilt roads, bridges, and airports. Cities were retrofitted with smart technology, ensuring efficient energy use, waste management, and transportation.

Caracas, in particular, became a showcase for innovation. The city now boasts fully automated public transit, high-speed internet access for all citizens, and cutting-edge medical facilities.}

Images of a sleek hospital complex appeared on the screen, showcasing state-of-the-art equipment. "Healthcare has improved dramatically," Luna continued.

{Infant mortality rates have dropped, and life expectancy has risen by over five years in less than a decade. These results are directly tied to the resources and systems we implemented.}

The map zoomed into rural areas, where clusters of schools and community centers glowed. Luna’s tone softened slightly as she highlighted the transformation in education.

{Before, the education system was fractured, with limited access in rural regions and underfunded urban schools. We overhauled the system entirely.}

The hologram displayed images of modern classrooms equipped with interactive learning tools. Children were seen smiling, engaged in lessons taught by well-trained educators.

{We’ve introduced a new curriculum emphasizing STEM fields, critical thinking, and vocational training,} Luna said.

{The result? A new generation of highly skilled workers and thinkers ready to lead Venezuela into the future. Literacy rates are now among the highest in South America.}

Silas folded his arms, his expression thoughtful. "It’s one thing to educate them. But how did we handle the job market?"

{Through strategic investments,} Luna replied.

{We created high-demand industries and ensured locals were trained to fill those roles. Jobs in green energy, technology, and logistics have flourished. Meanwhile, farming cooperatives received funding and advanced equipment, turning Venezuela into an agricultural powerhouse.}

Luna’s voice took on a reflective tone. {The most challenging aspect was rebuilding public trust. Years of corruption left citizens wary of any authority.}

The screen displayed footage of town hall meetings, where government officials addressed crowds with open discussions and transparent policies.

{By fostering transparency, implementing citizen councils, and prioritizing accountability, we earned their trust back,} Luna said.

{And on the global stage, the lifting of sanctions allowed Venezuela to re-enter international trade markets. Diplomatic relations are stronger than ever.}

Silas leaned forward. "So, what’s the next step?"

Luna’s hologram turned to face him directly. {The groundwork has been laid, but there’s still more to do. The current progress is only the beginning.

We’ll continue to expand infrastructure, refine governance, and ensure that Venezuela not only reaches first-world status but becomes a global leader in innovation and sustainability.}

Silas let out a low whistle, impressed despite himself. "You make it sound easy."
