"Karin, put all this money together first."
Yun Xi saw that all the safes in the office had been opened.
Without further hesitation, he directly instructed Karin to pile the cash together to make it easier for him to top up.
"Understood, Brother Yun Xi!"
Upon hearing Yun Xi's words, Karin, who had been standing to the side, immediately sprang into action.
She gradually organized the coins that had been piled into a small mountain.
"So, it's a total of over twenty-one million?"
After arranging all the currency neatly, Yun Xi had a rough idea of his haul this time.
Although it wasn't as much money as he had anticipated, it definitely counted as a massive fortune.
Once all the money was accounted for, Yun Xi spoke to Karin again: "Take this portion and hand it over to Zabuza."
Looking at the over one million in cash, Karin was somewhat surprised.
She hurriedly asked Yun Xi: "Lord Yun Xi, are you giving all this money to Zabuza?"
In Karin's eyes, Yun Xi was a guy who loved money more than his own life; she hadn't expected him to be so generous this time.
"We still need them to establish our own influence here in the Land of Waves later, so we definitely need to set aside some funds."
Facing Karin's question, Yun Xi provided an explanation.
Originally, Yun Xi hadn't intended to leave any money for Zabuza and the others.
After all, he needed a large amount of money for his own microtransactions, but after careful consideration, he changed his mind.
Yun Xi decided to leave behind a portion of the funds to allow Zabuza and Haku to secretly cultivate their own forces within the Land of Waves.
"Brother Yun Xi, I understand."
After hearing Yun Xi's explanation, Karin didn't ask any more questions.
She took the million-plus remainder Yun Xi had given her and headed downstairs.
The large office was left with only Yun Xi inside...
"Let's start the top-up!"
Seeing that Karin had left, Yun Xi approached the pile of cash.
Staring at the twenty million in cash before him, Yun Xi began the largest single top-up he had ever performed since acquiring the system.
A twenty-million microtransaction all at once!
If one were to judge by the price of a Mangekyo Sharingan, these twenty million in cash could be converted into two hundred thousand microtransaction points.
This meant that after the top-up, Yun Xi would be able to purchase two Mangekyo Sharingan outright without using any coupons.
However, Yun Xi didn't intend to buy any more Sharingan.
He had other plans for this massive amount of points...
"System, initiate top-up."
Yun Xi placed his hands on the pile of money and slowly called out to the system.
"Ding. Large amount of cash detected. Confirm full top-up?"
The next second, the familiar voice appeared in Yun Xi's mind once again.
Yun Xi didn't hesitate in the slightest and said directly: "Confirm top-up!"
"Twenty million in cash detected, successfully converted into two hundred thousand microtransaction points!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden achievement—'I am a Tycoon!'"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden achievement. As a reward, the system will additionally unlock the Partner Cultivation System to help the host dominate the Ninja World."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining two hundred thousand microtransaction points..."
As Yun Xi completed the top-up, a flurry of system notifications instantly appeared in his mind...
"This system is awesome!"
After confirming the top-up was successful, even Yun Xi's usually calm heart felt a flicker of excitement.
His plan this time could be considered a complete success, especially since he had obtained a large number of microtransaction points.
It also seemed that a brand-new system had been enabled.
Most importantly, the entire process had been nothing more than a minor scare.
Aside from the trouble caused by the unexpected encounter with Orochimaru, everything else had posed no danger to Yun Xi at all.
"System, explain what the Partner Cultivation System is."
Faced with such a large amount of microtransaction points, Yun Xi did not use them immediately.
Instead, he was more curious about the brand-new system that had suddenly appeared.
"In order to better bait for microtransactions..."
"Uh... in order to better help the host improve their own strength, this is a newly developed function from the system."
It seemed to be because Yun Xi had topped up a large amount of cash this time.
Originally, the system had always communicated with Yun Xi in a cold, robotic tone.
But this time was different.
Yun Xi could even detect a hint of sycophancy in the system's voice...
"Trouble yourself to get to the point. What is the use of this brand-new function?"
However, Yun Xi clearly harbored doubts about this system's intelligence.
Every time it appeared, it just spouted nonsense!
"This function can not only inspect the complete data and status of the subordinates the host has already subdued."
"Furthermore, it can also inspect certain hidden attributes, and the most important point is that you can spend money to make them stronger!"
"System suggestion: Cultivating subordinates carries risks; it is recommended that the host only cultivate subordinates who are die-hard loyalists."
After briefly introducing the Companion Cultivation System, the system also gave Yun Xi a friendly reminder.
Once the reminder was finished, the system disappeared once again...
This system is somewhat interesting, but it seems like it's going to cost money again...
After listening to the system's introduction, Yun Xi understood the purpose of this brand-new function.
"Let's first take a look at what this Companion Cultivation System actually is."
Having understood the basics, Yun Xi decided to go take a look for himself.
Yun Xi was still very curious about such things.
"Open the companion character interface."
After glancing at his own attribute panel, Yun Xi indeed discovered this brand-new option in the bottom right corner.
As Yun Xi opened the companion cultivation interface, an extremely familiar illusory panel appeared before his eyes.
Are the panels for this system all the same...
Looking at the panel before him, which lacked any aesthetic appeal and was devoid of the slightest creativity.
Yun Xi finally couldn't help but complain...
But after all, the system was still quite good; complaining was one thing, but he still had to use it.
As Yun Xi opened the interface for the companion cultivation function, he indeed saw the information for Karin and the others within it.

"Isn't this function a bit too broken?"
After Yun Xi finished looking at the three of them, including Karin, a look of slight shock appeared on his face...
