Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

After hearing Zhang Lan's seemingly casual explanation of her true thoughts behind purchasing these slave girls, Wang Kai wholeheartedly supported her, regardless of whether it was related to her "contract."

After all, they once shared the same values ​​and had similar views on everything. This matter concerned the lives of dozens of girls, so even if their own strength was limited, they had to do their best.

Now that his emotions had reached this point, Wang Kai had a lot to say.

“I also know that the world’s view of ‘demi-humans’ is exactly the same as our ‘racial discrimination’. In the past, we could only see it in history books and could never personally and deeply experience this ‘slave system’ that has become a legal industry here.”

I feel very uncomfortable with the idea of ​​equating people with commodities. If I were in their shoes at that moment, I would do everything I could to help them regain their freedom...

To be honest, these girls are really lucky to have been bought by you. Otherwise, I can't even imagine what their future would have been like.

Zhang Lan's expression showed a slight excitement. To calm herself down, she took another sip of black tea and began to speak slowly, as if recalling something memorable.

"Of course I know what fate awaits them if we don't buy them."

"Even so, these children who were abandoned by their parents at a young age and became slaves in order to survive, or unfortunate orphans like Ilya who committed crimes in order to survive and were unfortunately caught and demoted to slavery..."

"These things are destined, and I can't change anything. I can only ensure they have enough to eat and wear for the time being."

"And now the vast majority of them also think of me as a 'slave owner' who doesn't beat or scold, but just tells them to do some simple work."

"If anything changes in the future, they will be left with no one to rely on and will eventually have to return to being slaves, waiting for the next master to buy them."

……

"This..." Wang Kai was somewhat unsettled. "To put it bluntly, according to your view, isn't it all a waste of time? The impulsive act of sympathy will ultimately lead back to square one. What's the point?"

"You feel it's meaningless because you think 'they will not change in the future'."

"But what you don't know is that slaves are the easiest to control and reform. People with a 'servile mindset' have lost their self-respect and personality, but whether they can regain it..."

“I think it’s possible, and I’m confident that I can transform them. Once ‘Lafite 2nd Generation’ hits the market, they will need to start thinking about their own future.”

……

"Huh? So you're just going to abandon them? Isn't that what I meant by 'futile effort'?"

Zhang Lan adjusted her posture, her gaze slowly shifting to the ceiling. Then she closed her eyes, as if recalling some painful and unbearable memory.

"Actually, I saw more than just them at the slave trading guild that day; there were many, many other slaves as well."

"According to the slave trader, there are many kinds of slaves, which are commodities with various uses. Some are used for adventure and combat, some for farming, and others for construction, food production, and so on in various fields."

"And they also said that many slaves are born slaves. Even if some don't want to be enslaved and choose to escape, there's no need to hunt them down. They'll obediently return after a while because slaves don't have basic survival skills. The only thing they know is how to serve their masters well so they won't starve to death..."

"Hearing this, I almost couldn't hold back and was about to punch that slave trader to give him a makeover, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, it really was true."

"You've probably seen Game of Thrones, right? There's a storyline where slaves are freed by Daenerys Targaryen. Although these slaves gained their freedom, they faced an uncertain future and had no choice but to return to their masters to continue being slaves..."

Wang Kai's face flashed with an expression reminiscent of certain "deeply memorable moments from his youth," and he smiled as he replied.

"Yes, yes, the scenes with Daenerys and the other female leads were all beautiful... Wait, I remember there was a scene like that, but which season was it? It's been so long, I haven't paid much attention to it since the ending was so bad, haha..."

Zhang Lan sighed, her gaze hardening, and continued to summarize.

"Therefore, if you want 'slaves' to become ordinary people who can live on their own, you can't just give them food and shelter; you have to transform them in their thoughts and behaviors..."

"In this respect, Ilya, who was not a slave to begin with and had a desire for revenge, is the most suitable for modification. As for the rest of the girls, most of them don't have names. I just randomly named them Kola or Sula or something."

Wang Kai couldn't help but smile slightly and immediately asked a question.

"I'd like to hear your plans, you 'thinker,' regarding reforming thoughts and behaviors."

"Same as always, you guess first, and I'll see if you've improved."

Another crisis (opportunity) has arrived? After the awkward and unpleasant experience last night, this is a great opportunity to win favor.

Moreover, the prompts for this question were very helpful. In short, it was about changing the "servile mentality" of these girls, transforming them from nameless, merchandise sold at will into ordinary people who could survive on their own.

That being said, Wang Kai looked at the group of girls again. Each of their young faces was so innocent and ignorant. Zhang Lan had also said that apart from Ilya, the rest of them had not received any education and could not even read many words. How could they be truly and effectively helped to regain their human dignity and confidence?

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Wang Kai also planned to ask for some hints.

"Before you share your ideas, could you please tell me if you designed these avant-garde outfits that resemble 'idol costumes' that they're wearing?"

"Yes, it's close-fitting, lightweight, and breathable, making it perfect for work..."

“Work... You said they’ve been ‘working’ like this for at least a month now.”

"That's right!"

Wang Kai thought to himself that things were going well now, coughed a few times, and said with a serious expression.

"Zhang Lan, you've really gone to great lengths. I guessed it too. In this world, the transformation of slaves' minds can't be achieved in the short term..."

"Yes, that's true..."

"So you plan to brainwash them, to tell them how women survive..."

"Brainwashing! A woman's way of surviving?"

Zhang Lan opened her eyes, only to have her thoughts interrupted once again by Wang Kai's unpredictable thought process, which was always full of unexpected "surprises".

Moreover, the other party continued to express their opinions with an air of self-absorption, completely unconcerned and smug.

"You ostensibly let them brew wine, but in reality you're teaching them social etiquette."

After all, the 'Lafite Girls' were raised by you, the 'Saintess of the World,' so with such a background, they are bound to become extraordinary girls.

Once that "Lafite II" is launched, they will definitely be favored by many nobles and wealthy second-generation heirs, thus marrying into rich families and changing the world...

No, it's about changing one's destiny, becoming a successful woman from a wealthy and noble family, and thus saying goodbye to the status of 'slave'...

Wait, turn your face over there before you laugh, I'm afraid you'll spray your tea all over my face.

"Pfft~"

Zhang Lan almost couldn't suppress her laughter, so she could only puff out her cheeks and glare at Wang Kai. After finally managing to hold back her laughter and anger, she looked at the girls who were still diligently stomping on the grapes and sighed.

"It was slightly correct at the beginning, but the later parts were absolutely ridiculously wrong..."

"Oh no, my favorability rating is going to drop again."

"What, it's gone down again?"

"It's nothing, I'm all ears."

Zhang Lan's eyes showed some worry and helplessness, and she sighed again.

"As I just said, what I've done has absolutely no impact on the 'slave system' in this society."

Even getting these girls free from the stigma of being 'slaves' is a very difficult task.

Feeling utterly helpless and unsure of what to do, a saying reminded me: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Only in this way, even if I no longer need them in the future, they can still live well with the knowledge I gave them, and even pass on this seemingly simple and laughable 'flame' of knowledge.

"Hmm, I don't quite understand, but it gives me a bit of a 'marrying into a wealthy family' vibe..."

"What a load of rubbish! The idea that women can rise above their station by marrying is a concept from at least a thousand years in the future. In this world of polygamy, even the most outstanding slave can only become a concubine after marriage..."

"Then I understand even less why you were talking about fish and fishing earlier."

"Anyway, I wasn't planning to tell you the details now. You'll find out soon enough!"
