I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

"Director Chen Qi...really showed us...a beautiful dream."

"...Yes, it was a dream, a dream beyond our imagination. For a naive promise, it reached a realm that we have never been able to explore. He is using this story to warn us about human nature and achievement."

Kal'tsit also slowly closed her eyes. She did not use the tissue in front of her - but that did not mean she did not shed tears. Her tears fell in her heart, not on the surface. She was used to it.

"...This movie is worthy of being recorded in history, not only because it reveals another world to us, but also because it warns all of us. Don't forget to look up at the sky, and don't forget the path that our civilization and race have taken."

“Only by remembering where we came from can we continue to move forward. No matter what we achieve, we must never abandon our humanity.”

Kal'tsit slowly opened her eyes again and swallowed back all her emotions. At this moment, as the movie ended, a line of small words suddenly appeared on the screen.

The words were written in Colombian. On the black screen, the white words stood out. They read:

"According to Rhine Life Statistics, in Colombia alone, there are tens of thousands of children suffering from mental illness due to mineralogy. And across this land, there are tens of thousands of children, like streams, suffering from autism."

"According to statistics, the probability of infected children suffering from autism is as high as 43.8%, most of which are caused by acquired trauma. The probability of successful treatment of non-infected children suffering from autism is less than 10%."

"Most of these children's families are unable to afford the expensive medical expenses for autism treatment. Therefore, Rhine Life Science has collaborated with director Chen Qi to launch this film, calling on everyone in this world to provide more help and care for those infected and autistic children."

"After communicating with the Colombian government, Rhein Life announced that April 4 of each year, which is today when To the Moon premiered, will be designated as 'World Autism Awareness Day.'"

"Rhine Life will also establish the 'Colombian Mineral Disease and Autism Treatment Research Foundation' and use 10% of the company's annual net profit to treat autistic children and children infected with the virus."

"Director Chen Qi has decided to donate all the proceeds from To the Moon to various countries free of charge to build more shelters for infected people, autism research organizations and other medical institutions and research institutions to improve and help more infected people and autistic patients' lives."

[The above is presented by the Rhine Life and Integrated Art Troupe]

As the subtitles disappeared and the familiar piano music of "For River" began to play, the names of the performers finally appeared. However, this piece of news made the top leaders of Rhodes Island and all the countries in Terra silent and shocked.

"Director Chen Qi... has a kind heart to help the world..."

Kal'tsit didn't know how long it had been before she sighed like this, but now, she had to admit that Chen Qi's vision and character were beyond her reach, and were the goodness that could not be nurtured by this land.

Chen Qi has sent a signal. An influential person like him has openly cared for infected people and people with autism. So how can those countries that have close ties with Chen Qi and want to have good relations with Chen Qi not express their support for Chen Qi's ideas?

Chen Qi, in a way that no one in Terra had expected, changed the living environment of all the infected people and related vulnerable groups on this land. Such a supreme achievement... is an act of great kindness that everyone cannot help but admire.

In just two years, Chen Qi accomplished what Kal'tsit could not do in several lifetimes... Such an achievement made Kal'tsit ashamed and also made her admire him from the bottom of her heart.

"The wish to save this land... maybe it's not far away."

Chapter 197: Saria changes jobs? A critical opportunity to treat the infected

"Director Chen Qi has sent out a signal. He may not be the first person to have such an idea, but he is the first person who has such a huge influence today and is willing to publicly express such a good deed instead of putting it into action. There will not even be any country opposing him."

"Amiya, now the opportunity to save this land has arrived. It's time to take advantage of this great opportunity and add fuel to the fire."

After watching "To the Moon", Kal'tsit did not let everyone disperse. After sending away Warfarin, the embarrassing blood demon who was too emotional to participate in the meeting, Kal'tsit immediately issued Rhodes Island's next plan based on Chen Qi's decision.

That is to closely follow the step taken by Chen Qi, and try to take a few more steps based on this step to improve the treatment of infected people and vulnerable groups in the entire Terra. Perhaps this is the best opportunity!

“Amiya, we need you to represent Rhodes Island and go to Columbia to negotiate.” Kal’tsit also cast her eyes towards Amiya. Amiya quickly understood what Kal’tsit meant and nodded and said:

"I know what I should do, Dr. Kal'tsit. I will join this project in the name of Rhodes Island and reach a cooperation with Rhine Life, right?"

"Yes, and it has to be done as soon as possible. Now that Rhine Life and Director Chen Qi have reached a consensus on this issue, it would be best for us, Rhodes Island, to be the first international force to express support."

Kal'tsit was also very aware of how important this opportunity was, and immediately gave Amiya some pointers:

"The size of our Rhodes Island cannot be compared to other countries and forces that are now on good terms with Director Chen Qi. The help that our Rhodes Island can provide to thousands of infected people and vulnerable groups may not be as large as that of other forces."

"But, being the first to respond to such a plan is very important. This will be very helpful for our external image of Rhodes Island. More people will know about our Rhodes Island's assistance to the infected and our mission of putting the rescue of the infected first... It will also help Rhodes Island's finances."

"Dr. Kal'tsit, are you saying that Director Chen Qi might also provide financial support to our Rhodes Island?" Amiya quickly understood what Kal'tsit meant. As the leader of Rhodes Island, she was well aware of Rhodes Island's current situation. Although it was much better than before, the financial situation was still not abundant.

The situation in Rhodes Island has improved, largely because of Chen Qi. Chen Qi has a close relationship with Rhodes Island, which has indirectly allowed Rhodes Island to reach agreements and cooperation with many countries. Today, Rhodes Island has no shortage of orders, so it is naturally much better than before.

This situation is the best that Rhodes Island has been in in recent years. And if Chen Qi helps Rhodes Island again... Amiya doesn't dare to think whether the situation in Rhodes Island will get better.

"…I think so. After all, Director Chen Qi is funding all Terran companies that help infected people. If we, Rhodes Island, are the first to express our support, we can occupy a good position in it. We can also provide orders for mineral disease inhibitors and other related drugs. If we can benefit from it, it would be great."

"Of course, it doesn't matter even if there are no benefits. Just enough orders and improving the situation of the infected are enough for us to express our stance at the first time."

Kal'tsit knew very well that Rhodes Island was short of people. Many assembly line jobs in Rhodes Island were done by infected people who stayed on the island for treatment but had no money to pay for medical treatment. What Rhodes Island lacked was talent who had done research in the medical field.

This is a great opportunity for more talented people who are not appreciated or have ideals to get in touch with Rhodes Island. That is why Kal'tsit attaches so much importance to this first response quota.

"——I understand, Dr. Kal'tsit, I will rush there as soon as possible!" Amiya nodded heavily when she heard this, and then went to prepare materials for the trip to Columbia.

"As for Dr. Hemer, we should now talk about Ifrit and the control of the mineralogy with you and Operator White Owl."

"I am very clear about my infection status and have been controlling it well. The focus is on White-faced Owl and Ifrit." Hemer pushed his glasses and broke free from the emotion of "To the Moon", and the haze between his brows seemed to dissipate a little.

Although Hemer could not fully understand what Saria wanted to convey through this movie, now she felt that she at least saw a hope of salvation... and the person who was behind this hope must be Saria - now only Saria has the ability to make Rhine Life make such a decision.

Hemer also has the ideal of rescuing the infected in his heart, and what Saria is doing now is naturally what Hemer has always hoped to achieve. Gradually, Hemer's resentment towards Saria has been reduced a little.

Maybe... I misunderstood her? Looking at what Saria was doing now, Hemer couldn't help but wonder again if he had made a mistake in his judgment.

Of course, Hemer put all these things aside for now. Now she was more concerned about the mineral disease of Ifrit and White Owl. She immediately said:

"I understand the rules of Rhodes Island. Don't worry. Mel, White Owl and I can all provide a lot of help. The key is Ifrit's treatment process..."

"——No, what I mean is that we have a better treatment plan here, a contract that hopes you can stay in Rhodes Island, use your strengths, and help us improve better medicine."

Kal'tsit interrupted Hemer's words. Facing Hemer's confused look, Kal'tsit smiled, which was rare for her, and said softly:

"Doctor Hemer, if we in Rhodes Island can provide you with a solution to cure your oripathy, are you willing to stay in Rhodes Island and assist us in helping more infected people?"

"What?!" X3

However, when Kal'tsit said this, Hemer, White-Faced Owl, and Mel, after a brief brain freeze, finally understood what this meant, and everyone's face showed a look of shock.

……

"So, you're still planning on leaving?"

At Rhine Life, Christen faced the resignation letter from Saria that was now in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"I have agreed to Muerseth's proposal. Muerseth will be fully responsible for the operation of the foundation. I have also ordered a complete ban on all human experiments within Rhine Life..."

"Isn't everything I've done enough to prove my transformation, Saria?"

"——You're just doing it for me, Kristen." However, Saria was as straightforward as ever. She didn't hide her thoughts from Kristen at all, and said:

"Everything you did was just an atonement for your sudden change of heart... But this cannot cover up the evil deeds you condoned. I cannot just ignore what you did in the past."

"And my departure now is also my own desire to atone for my sins. I plan to do more meaningful things and try to build a better order in this turbulent world today."

"It seems that you have made up your mind." Seeing that Saria was still so determined, Christen slowly closed her eyes. She was not particularly surprised by such a result, but she did not expect that the first time they met after the filming of "To the Moon" would be the time of their separation.

"…So, have you decided on your next step?"

"I want to... follow Director Chen Qi's crew and travel around Terra."

However, Saria's next plan made Christen open his eyes in surprise. However, Saria, who never joked, looked very serious and said word by word:

"Christen... It's my responsibility that you have become what you are now. As the head of the security department of Rhine Life... I want to protect not only the industry we have worked together to create today, but also the bottom line of Rhine Life."

"But now, I have nothing to protect, neither Rhine Life, nor you, nor Ifrit."

"Perhaps, I should gain some more experience and travel the world with Director Chen Qi and his friends. By the way, I think I can also protect Director Chen Qi, his kind-hearted heart that wants to help the world."

What really made Saria make up her mind was Chen Qi's announcement that he would donate all the proceeds from To the Moon. She knew that when Christen first proposed this to Chen Qi, Christen thought that if Chen Qi only gave 10%, the fame he could get would be quite amazing.

But no one expected that after hearing this, Chen Qi actually contributed all the profits, and everyone in the integrated art troupe had no objection, and everyone supported Chen Qi's idea.

Although this should be related to the fact that almost all the members of the integrated art troupe are infected, but Saria feels that this group, which has no hesitation or opinion in providing relief to those who are in greater need, is the one she wants to protect the most.

This reminded Saria of the original intention of her, Christen and others to establish Rhine Life... Since she couldn't protect Rhine Life, at least she wanted to protect everything she could.

"In half a month, I will go to Longmen with Director Chen Qi and the others. Christen, Rhine Life...is now in your hands."

After that, Saria slowly turned around and left, leaving only her resignation letter. Faced with Saria who left without any nostalgia, Christen looked at the resignation letter in his hand and silently put it in the drawer.

Of course, she would not approve Saria's resignation. Although Saria still chose to leave, compared with the time when the two of them broke up at the beginning, Saria could still talk to her calmly. Christen felt that there might be a chance for a turnaround.

Even if she had to use so-called "hypocrisy" for a long time to win her back, at least, Christen was willing to believe that Saria would come back sooner or later... At least she could find out where Saria was at any time.

"But, Saria, you said you wanted to protect Director Chen Qi...Does he really need your protection?"

Christen couldn't help but mutter to herself. She couldn't see through Chen Qi at all, and she observed the attitudes of the women around Chen Qi towards him, as well as the jealous Tallulah... She couldn't help but think that when Saria went to Chen Qi's crew, she must not fail to protect him well and lose something of her own...

Chapter 198: Going to Longmen, Chen Qi gets new props and new members!

During the half-month stay in Colombia, if Kristen felt lost because of Saria's departure, then Chen Qi could be said to have had a great time during this period.

The reason is simple. As he expected, the influence of "To the Moon" is constantly expanding. This influence does not simply refer to the reputation value brought by the movie. Instead, after Chen Qi donated all the proceeds from "To the Moon" to improve the lives of vulnerable groups such as infected people and autism, Chen Qi's reputation value increased several times faster.

As Kal'tsit said, Chen Qi's current achievements cannot be replicated. Terra is not without people like Chen Qi who have proposed improving the treatment of infected people, but most of their words either fell on deaf ears or they no longer dared to say such things after being in a high position.

The infected are the bottom of every country, but they are an indispensable part of every country. For these infected who just want to "survive", their demand is extremely low, but the labor force they get in return is quite considerable.

Therefore, it is difficult to implement proposals to improve the living conditions of the infected among the top leaders of various countries, especially in countries where the national system already requires a large number of infected people to maintain, such as Ursus and Lethania. Once such a policy is implemented, it means that a large part of the country's finances will have to be spent on the infected.

And this is not just a one-time loss, but a continuous loss from now on. Once the common people have dignity, it will not be so easy to take away their dignity, and it may even backfire on you.

Therefore, it is difficult to improve the treatment of infected people because the situation in this land does not allow it. Even Yan Country and Lateran, which are the most open-minded countries towards infected people, either expel or plan and manage them. Of course, Yan Country allows infected people with great talents to serve as officials in the court.

However, if someone is infected from birth, how many people have the chance to become the so-called "great talent"? Therefore, this policy of Yan State is actually to recruit people who are infected later in life, and the attitude towards people who are infected from birth has not changed much.

But Chen Qi is different. He and his crew do not have any stance themselves, but there are many countries and forces that protect their existence. Therefore, it is most appropriate for Chen Qi to say such words, and no one has refuted him yet.

After all, Chen Qi himself set an example by donating all the proceeds from To the Moon. No one would say that this act of kindness was motivated by ulterior motives, right? If someone said so, the reputation of this country would plummet.

The foundation jointly established by Chen Qi and Rhine Life also quickly received responses from various countries that supported Chen Qi. Rhodes Island was the first to respond. Amiya came all the way to Rhine Life and immediately announced Rhodes Island's support for this proposal.

"Rhodes Island will support all efforts to save this land from suffering. To this end, we, Rhodes Island, are willing to provide the Foundation with stable pharmaceutical assistance! Especially the mineralogy inhibitor!"

Kal'tsit did not let Amiya release the cure for oripathy immediately to prevent Rhodes Island from getting into trouble. To improve the social status of the infected, it is necessary to proceed step by step. Telling the infected all at once that oripathy can be cured... I don't know whether the infected will be grateful to you, but anyway, several countries will be anxious, to the point of destroying Rhodes Island.

By then, if the status of the infected is not improved, Rhodes Island may be the first to disappear... Therefore, providing stable inhibitors is the best help Rhodes Island can provide.

But the person who followed Amiya surprised Chen Qi - Manfred from Londinium, on behalf of the Sarkaz clan, supported Chen Qi and the Rhine Life Foundation.

"Nearly 90% of the Sarkaz are infected. Supporting plans to improve the status of the infected is worthy of our Sarkaz respect - that's what General Tresis said."

"For this reason, we, the Sarkaz tribe, are willing to work with Victoria to support Director Chen Qi's actions, and are willing to cooperate with the foundation to extend our helping hand to improve the lives of those infected, as well as vulnerable groups such as autism and children."

Obviously, this was also a way for Tracys to see the opportunity and change the reputation of the Sarkaz. Almost all of the Sarkaz were infected, but they lent a hand to this great cause, which in a sense was a win for the Sarkaz twice.

After that, Chen Qi soon welcomed envoys from Victoria, Lateran and Syracuse, who all expressed their willingness to join the foundation and support this achievement.

Although most people have their own thoughts, this may really allow more infected people to be saved - and Chen Qi had no intention of actually changing the status of the infected people just by doing this.

All he needs is an opening, a hope. Some things, once they are started and allowed to develop, will surely grow into towering trees.

Finally, Chen Qi took a group photo with everyone as the first group of supporters of the foundation officially established to help infected people and other vulnerable groups.

Chen Qi, who had taken a group photo with all the representatives, suddenly received a voice from the system again.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare item, "A photo of hope." ]

[A group photo of hope: including people from several countries and races, some of whom have deep hatred for each other, but now they stand together, temporarily putting aside their prejudices in the name of helping the people who need help most in the world. As the person who pushed all this to happen, you have been respected by everyone, and your good deeds will be passed down through the ages with this photo. ]

[Effect: Affinity of all races +10%, permanent increase of 10% in work reputation, conversion of favorability and reputation between infected and other vulnerable groups +20%]

Chen Qi never expected that he came to Columbia with the idea that it was unlikely to get a rare item, but he happened to get another rare item, and the effect was very high.

Just for this reason, Chen Qi can say that the trip was worthwhile. In addition, Chen Qi also received a large amount of funds from Christen as a token of gratitude, as well as a member who Chen Qi had never expected to join the crew.

"Ms. Saria, are you really willing to join our crew? With your abilities, it would be a waste of your talent to work in our crew."

"It's okay. I just want to relax with you guys and do some work so that I don't look so useless."

Facing Chen Qi, Saria's attitude became better. Perhaps Chen Qi's behavior made Saria feel quite favorable. Saria was not as serious as usual and continued:

“I can make more efficient plans for the crew. Although I don’t understand some things about filming, as a scientific researcher, I know very well what angles are best for lighting. I can also assist with procurement and security work.”

Wow, he's so versatile, a production manager who came right to my doorstep. Chen Qi was immediately interested when he heard this. It must be said that the fact that "To the Moon" could be completed in a week was indeed helped by Saria's planning. Although she didn't know much about filming, she could still design a reasonable plan, which was what Chen Qi's crew lacked the most.

Moreover, Saria can always take over the security and procurement work. Alina and Patriot are sometimes very busy. With Saria's help, the crew's efficiency can indeed be higher.

"Wait! I object! I object!"

However, Nian was particularly wary of Saria's joining. Having seen Saria's planning efficiency in the scroll, Nian felt a great sense of crisis and immediately shouted:

"Our crew doesn't need a second technical director! Otherwise, where would I fit in?"

"Chen Qi, you hired this diamond girl here, aren't you planning to fire me?! Quack! My dear sister, save me! Director Chen is going to fire your sister!"

"What does it have to do with me? I won't be fired." However, facing her noisy sister, Xi also frowned and put one hand against her, asking Nian not to get close to her, while slowly saying:

"Besides, you are useless as a technical director. You should have the least workload in the crew, right? It doesn't matter whether you are there or not."
