As Akai pressed the gacha button, the system's light flickered brightly and began to spin. Ten mysterious cards floated in the air before him, rotating in a magical circle of radiant light. Each card was still enveloped in a glowing mist, preventing him from seeing what lay beneath. Akai took a deep breath, feeling a sense of excitement in his heart, and kept his eyes on the cards as they began to slowly slow down.
The lights around the first four cards began to fade, and one by one their identities were revealed. White cards—four in a row. Akai nodded calmly. Nothing too extraordinary, but each resource could be useful. Soon, he would find out what each card contained.
The first card revealed a white character card—a civilian. Akai took note of it, even though he didn't have a clear idea of who it could be at the moment.
The second card was a regular sword. It wasn't anything special, but it was sharp and well-made. Perhaps it would be useful for one of the soldiers or could be used for training.
The third card revealed a crate containing 1,000 kilograms of various seeds. This was a great resource in many ways. The seeds would promote agricultural development in his nation and help the people become self-sufficient.
The fourth card was a comfortable office chair. Akai couldn't help but smile. Perhaps not what he had wished for, but it would certainly make his office more comfortable.
Akai turned his attention to the next cards, whose light began to slow. The glow diminished, and two yellow cards appeared. He could feel the excitement—character cards with Genin-level strength or comparable abilities.
The fifth card revealed a sturdy-looking man, presumably a fighter. He could barely make out the details of the figure, but the card suggested that he would have valuable skills.
The sixth card depicted another fighter—a woman—who could also be useful in Akai's future plans. It was gratifying to see that he now had more combat-capable characters in his nation, which would strengthen the security and power of his navy and government.
Akai opened the next two white cards. The seventh card gave him a bicycle. It was practical, though likely more symbolic considering the size of his nation.
However, the eighth card made him pause. It was an always-clean suit, designed to radiate power and authority. White, blue, and gold dominated the image of the suit, which perfectly suited him as president. The suit appeared to be made of the finest fabrics and carried the aura of an emperor. With a blue cape, it looked even more elegant and powerful. Akai smiled in satisfaction as he gazed at it. It was a symbol of his new office and his rising nation.
Then it got exciting. The ninth card started spinning more slowly, and a special golden glow emanated from it. Akai held his breath as the outlines of the card were revealed. It was a turquoise special card—an incredibly rare card containing entire organizations or facilities.
His heart skipped a beat. This was the highlight of the pull—getting such a rare card was like hitting the jackpot. A broad smile spread across his lips. The value of this card could be immense, and he could hardly wait to find out what it contained.
Finally, the tenth and last card—a red card—flashed its light one more time before disappearing to reveal its content: the Umbrella Corporation base, fully equipped with the famous AI known as the "Red Queen." Akai stared at the card in astonishment.
Not only had he acquired a base filled with the latest technologies and resources, but also an incredibly powerful artificial intelligence that could assist him in managing and leading his nation. The Red Queen was known for her efficiency, her incredible computing power, and her ability to oversee a multitude of tasks. This was far more than Akai had hoped for. His joy was barely containable—with the base and the AI, he had now laid the foundation for a scientific center unlike any other.
After receiving the cards, Akai immediately set out to place the Umbrella base in a suitable location. Due to its size and advanced technology, he decided that the base should be built underground—a secret research center accessible directly from the government building. No one would have access to this advanced facility without his permission.
He activated the card, and suddenly, the ground beneath the government building began to shift. With a powerful jolt, the access to the Umbrella base opened, and Akai felt the immense technological possibilities lying beneath his feet.
Once the access was ready, he called Shiho Miyano and Tashigi to him. "Follow me," he said as he led them both to the entrance of the new facility.
The group entered the underground center, protected by endless corridors and state-of-the-art security systems. As they walked through the sterile, advanced environment, they were greeted by the Red Queen—a holographic image of a young girl with a cold, mechanical gaze.
"Welcome, Akai-sama," the Red Queen said in a factual but respectful voice. "This facility is at your disposal."
Akai nodded. "Show us the facility."
As the Red Queen led them through the center, she explained the functions of each area. They passed by high-security storage rooms containing samples of every known virus from the Resident Evil world—from the T-virus to experimental biological weapons. Shiho looked at the samples with keen interest, nodding repeatedly in admiration.
"This technology... it's on a completely different level," she murmured, while observing the advanced machines and laboratories.
"It's frightening what this company has created," Akai said, fully aware of the dangers posed by these viruses. "But it's also an opportunity. With the right leadership, we can use these technologies to protect our own nation and maybe even change the course of history."
Shiho looked at him and nodded. "I'll do everything I can to ensure this research benefits humanity and isn't used against it."
As they continued through the base, the Red Queen presented them with various security measures, including automated defense systems capable of neutralizing any potential threat scenario. The base was both a sanctuary and a place of research—perfect for Akai's growing nation and his plans.
After their exploration, Akai was more than satisfied. The Umbrella base would become the scientific center of his nation, and Shiho Miyano would be in charge. With her skills and the Red Queen's technology, they would be at the forefront of global research. Akai saw the future of his nation before him—a nation unrivaled in technology and science.
"This is only the beginning," Akai said with a confident smile.
