"Karin, put all this money together first."
Yun Xi saw that all the safes in the office had been opened.
He didn't hesitate any longer and had Karin gather all the cash in one place so he could recharge more easily.
"Okay, Brother Yun Xi!"
After hearing Yun Xi, Karin, who had been standing off to the side, immediately got to work.
She gradually sorted the money, which had originally been piled up like a small hill.
"So, a little over twenty-one million in total?"
Once all the money had been neatly arranged, Yun Xi had a rough idea of how much he'd gained this time.
It wasn't as much as he'd expected, but it was still an enormous sum.
After counting all the money, Yun Xi spoke to Karin again. "Take this portion downstairs and give it to Zabuza."
Looking at the more than one million in cash, Karin was a little surprised.
She hurriedly asked Yun Xi, "Lord Yun Xi, you're giving all this money to Zabuza?"
In Karin's eyes, Yun Xi was someone who loved money more than life itself. She hadn't expected him to be so generous this time.
"We'll need to have them establish our own power in the Land of Waves, so we'll definitely need to set aside some funds."
Yun Xi answered Karin's question.
Originally, he hadn't planned to leave any money for Zabuza and the others.
After all, he still needed a lot of money to spend on the system. But after thinking it over,
Yun Xi decided to leave some funds behind, so Zabuza and Haku could secretly build up their own power in the Land of Waves.
"Brother Yun Xi, I understand."
After hearing Yun Xi's explanation, Karin didn't ask anything else.
She took the leftover million or so that Yun Xi had given her and headed downstairs.
Only Yun Xi remained in the vast office...
"Now, let's start recharging!"
After Karin left, Yun Xi walked over to the cash.
Looking at the twenty million before him, Yun Xi began the largest single recharge he'd made since getting the system.
Spending twenty million all at once!
At the price of the Mangekyō Sharingan, that twenty million in cash could be converted into two hundred thousand Krypton Gold Points.
That meant that after recharging, Yun Xi could buy two Mangekyō Sharingan outright without using any coupons.
But Yun Xi had no plans to buy more Sharingan.
He had other plans for this huge sum of Krypton Gold Points...
"System, begin recharge."
Yun Xi placed his hand on the pile of money and slowly called out to the system.
"Ding. A large amount of cash has been detected. Recharge all of it?"
The next second, the familiar voice appeared in Yun Xi's mind once again.
Yun Xi didn't hesitate at all. "Confirm recharge!"
"Twenty million in cash detected. Successfully converted into two hundred thousand Krypton Gold Points!"
"Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden achievement—So I'm a Tycoon!"
"Congratulations, host, on completing a hidden achievement. As a reward, the system will additionally unlock the Companion Cultivation System to help the host conquer the Ninja World."
"Congratulations, host, you have received two hundred thousand Krypton Gold Points..."
After Yun Xi completed the recharge, a flurry of system notifications appeared in his mind...
"This system delivers!"
After confirming that the recharge had gone through, Yun Xi's usually unruffled heart stirred with excitement.
His plan had been a huge success this time, and he'd gained a massive number of Krypton Gold Points.
It seemed he'd also unlocked an entirely new system.
Most importantly, the whole process had been relatively free of danger.
Aside from the unexpected encounter with Orochimaru, which had caused Yun Xi some trouble,
nothing else had posed any danger to him.
"System, explain the Companion Cultivation System."
Despite having so many Krypton Gold Points, Yun Xi didn't use them right away.
Instead, he was more curious about the brand-new system that had suddenly appeared.
"To better swindle you into spending..."
"Ahem... to better help the host improve his strength, this system has developed an entirely new feature."
Perhaps because Yun Xi had spent so much cash this time,
the system, which had always spoken to him in a cold, emotionless tone,
was different this time.
Yun Xi could even hear a hint of flattery in its voice...
"Get to the point. What does this new feature do?"
Yun Xi was clearly skeptical of the system's intelligence.
Every time it appeared, it said a bunch of useless things!
"This feature can display all the information and statuses of the host's subordinates who have already been recruited."
"It can also reveal certain hidden attributes. Most importantly, you can spend money to make them stronger!"
"System recommendation: Cultivating subordinates carries risks. The host is advised to cultivate only subordinates who are absolutely loyal."
After briefly explaining the Companion Cultivation feature, the system even gave Yun Xi a friendly reminder.
Once it had finished, the system disappeared again...
"This system is pretty interesting, but it looks like I'll have to spend money again..."
After hearing the system's explanation, Yun Xi understood what this new feature did.
"Let's see what this Companion Cultivation System is all about first."
After thinking it over, Yun Xi decided to take a look for himself.
He was quite curious about something like this.
"Open the companion character interface."
After glancing at his status panel, Yun Xi spotted the new option in the bottom-right corner.
As soon as Yun Xi opened the Companion Cultivation interface, a familiar, translucent panel appeared before him.
"Are all the system's panels exactly the same..."
Looking at the plain panel, which had no sense of beauty or originality,
Yun Xi finally couldn't help complaining...
But the system was still pretty good. He could complain all he wanted, but he still had to use it.
After Yun Xi opened the Companion Cultivation feature, he indeed saw information on Karin and the others.
Companion Name: Karin Talent: S Strength: Chunin Kekkei Genkai: Mutated Uzumaki Clan bloodline Ninjutsu Mastered: Medical Ninjutsu, Sealing Jutsu... Cultivation Recommendation: An exceptional support ninja with extremely powerful healing and sensory abilities. The host is advised to cultivate her with all his might. Loyalty: Absolutely loyal.
Below Karin's information were the profiles of Zabuza and Haku.
Companion Name: Zabuza Momochi Talent: A+ Strength: Elite Jonin Kekkei Genkai: None Ninjutsu Mastered: Silent Killing Technique, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, Water Clone Technique... Cultivation Recommendation: Consider purchasing a Kekkei Genkai from the Shop to increase his strength... Loyalty: Trusting.
Although Haku wasn't very strong, his cultivation value seemed even higher than Zabuza's...
Companion Name: Haku Talent: S- Strength: Genin Kekkei Genkai: Ice Release Ninjutsu Mastered: Water Clone Technique, Ice Release: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death, Water Body Flicker Technique... Cultivation Recommendation: A descendant of the Yuki Clan with a powerful Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. He can be cultivated into a ninja skilled in assassination. Loyalty: Trusting.
"Isn't this feature a little too ridiculous?"
After looking over the information on Karin and the other two, Yun Xi's face showed a hint of astonishment...
