Suzuki glanced at the crowd in the hall.
Currently, there were already 10 members in the first level of his organization, Ark Maxim.
Among them, Kakuzu and Mifu were kage-level powerhouses.
The patriarch of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Takehara, and the patriarch of the Chinoike Clan, Miyakogawa En, also possessed strength close to the shadow level.
The patriarch of the Yuki clan, Yuki, and the patriarch of the Tsuchigumo clan, En no Gyōja, were also not to be underestimated due to their kekkei genkai and inherited forbidden techniques!
Although Shinno and Biwako were classified as researchers by Suzuki, they also possessed jounin-level strength.
Adding in Hanako, Suzuki's only friend in the ninja world, and his secretary, Yakushi Nonoyu,
Although it was still far from the future Akatsuki organization, as long as these people followed Suzuki, their strength would naturally increase.
And the number of ordinary researchers and the outer members of the second level under his subordinates added up to more than three hundred.
Therefore, in order to sort out the chaotic management and improve everyone's strength, Suzuki said with a gentle smile:
"The name of this base is Ark Maxim."
"All of you are very talented people!"
"I'm very happy that you can come here."
"Now that everyone is here, I'll take this opportunity to announce something."
"There are quite a few people in the laboratory, or rather, on this spaceship. Therefore, I'm going to make some reforms."
As he spoke, Suzuki turned slightly and instructed Yakushi Nono beside him:
"Nonoyu, take note."
The female secretary nodded slightly and took out paper and a pen to record.
In the hall, everyone's expressions became serious and focused as they quietly waited for the announcement of the new system.
Suzuki's expression was calm as he slowly said in a deep voice:
"From now on, the tasks of the base will be divided into four levels. Yakushi Nonoyu will organize them, and they will be posted in the hall every day."
"These tasks are divided into the 100,000 ryo level, the 1 million ryo level, the 10 million ryo level, and the tasks that I personally assign."
"You can take on the tasks posted in the hall yourself, or you can let your clansmen or subordinates complete them."
Suzuki had been thinking about this for a long time.
For example, when the laboratory needed some living subjects, it was impossible for Suzuki to do such a small thing himself. It would be a waste of talent to let these outstanding people capture living subjects.
Therefore, Suzuki planned to let Yakushi Nono organize these simple, miscellaneous, but necessary tasks and put them into the 100,000 ryo level tasks when the researchers encountered some minor difficulties.
At that time, the outer members of the second level would complete the tasks.
As for the million and ten million levels, they were naturally the exclusive research tasks of the researchers, as well as some tasks such as investigating, infiltrating, capturing ninjas, and summoning beasts.
As he spoke, Suzuki paused for a moment before continuing his announcement:
"Also, the previous task rewards were all gold or silver. Now, an additional reward will be added—points!"
"In the future, when you complete a task, you will be rewarded with money and an equal amount of points."
"For the time being, the ratio is 10,000 ryo for 1 point!"
"In other words, if you complete a task worth 100,000 ryo, you will not only receive 100,000 ryo, but also 10 points."
"Points are very important. They can be used to exchange for things that are difficult to buy with money."
"Shells, ninjutsu, scientific research knowledge, and even the power similar to kekkei genkai!"
"For example, conch shells, taste shells, water shells, lamp shells, and image shells can be exchanged for 1 point each."
"At the same time, you can also use 1 point to study in the library on the ship for 1 day."
"Cloud shells, wind shells, flame shells, heat shells, flash shells, and C-rank ninjutsu can be exchanged for 10 points. These shells are not inferior to ninjutsu in a sense. You can use them to improve your life-saving ability."
"One hundred points can be exchanged for B-rank ninjutsu, as well as impact dials, Axe dials, Breath Dial, and Reject dials. These dials are very powerful. Be careful when you use them after exchanging for them in the future."
"One thousand points can be used to customize exclusive battle suits or flying props, as well as exchange for A-rank ninjutsu!"
"The battle suits were created by the researchers using chakra metal and dials. The same goes for the flying props. The air ninjas have done a lot of research on flying."
"Finally, there are 10,000 points."
"10,000 points can be exchanged for S-rank forbidden techniques or special cultivation methods."
"Or a Devil Fruit that can transform into an animal. As long as you eat it, you can obtain a unique kekkei genkai, which is very helpful in improving your strength!"
"That's all for now. There will be more things that can be exchanged in the future."
"Everyone, the stepping stones to rise have been given to you. I look forward to your performance!"
After saying that, Suzuki looked at Yakushi Nonoyu and waited for a moment before asking:
"Nonoyu, did you write it down?"
Yakushi Nonoyu put away the notebook in her hand with a serious expression and nodded at Suzuki, replying:
"I've written it all down, Suzuki-kun."
Suzuki nodded slightly with a calm expression.
These points would become the exclusive currency on the Ark Maxim in the future.
Unlike the Akatsuki organization's pacifist ideology in the future, Suzuki had no interest in the peace of the ninja world!
He didn't need followers. He just needed these people to listen to him and complete their tasks.
Since that was the case, Suzuki simply stated the benefits.
However, there weren't many Devil Fruits that could be exchanged for now. Even if they could be exchanged, he would have to wait until he obtained the cloning technology before distributing them.
At present, only Zoan Devil Fruits were supported. Paramecia might be available in the future, but that was obviously still early. Natural and Mythical Zoan couldn't be exchanged for points.
In the future, Suzuki also planned to add cursed seals, sage arts, some powerful summoning beasts, various secret medicines from the One Piece world, and even pure gold as rewards.
At that time, most of the tasks could be issued as missions for the second-level personnel to carry out. He only needed to control the general direction.
As for the first-level personnel, they naturally listened to Suzuki's orders and carried them out without question!
"..."
The hall was silent as everyone was still digesting the new system that Suzuki had announced.
"What a generous offer!"
En no Gyōja was the first to react. He was amazed by the point system reform that Suzuki had announced.
It should be known that most ninja villages and ninja clans valued ninjutsu very much. It was impossible for them to easily take it out as a reward.
However, Suzuki had even released A-rank and S-rank ninjutsu. This was something that had never happened in the ninja world!
"That's right. Moreover, the mission rewards that Lord Suzuki gives are very high. You must know that even the S-rank missions of the five great ninja villages are only worth 1 million ryo. Here, it's only the third-level mission, and there are even additional points."
"The things that can be exchanged with these points seem to be even more valuable than the mission rewards!"
Miyakogawa En gradually lost his resistance to submitting to Suzuki.
If what Suzuki said was true, then their Blood Pool clan might really be able to rise again!
"Tsk, Lord Suzuki is still giving too much!"
"If you ask me, why give money? Can't we just give out points?"
Kakuzu, who had already obtained the position of Minister of Finance, felt a little heartache and regretful when he saw Suzuki spending money lavishly.
"Hehe, it's indeed quite high."
"I estimate that for the same mission difficulty, the bounty that Lord Suzuki gives should be more than ten times higher than those ninja villages."
Yuki still had that peaceful expression. After a simple evaluation, he quickly fell silent.
"Hehehehehe."
"Why think so much? Whoever Lord Suzuki tells us to fight, we'll fight!"
Kaguya Takehara grinned, revealing a strong bloodlust and fighting spirit.
He had been feeling aggrieved because he was threatened by Suzuki, but now he no longer had such thoughts!
Whether it was money or items that could enhance his combat strength, they all made the Kaguya clan leader very excited.
"Special cultivation method?"
"Is it referring to Zantetsuken?"
Mifu's eyes were filled with longing. He was still deeply shocked by the sword technique that Suzuki had displayed a month ago!
Now that he heard that he had the opportunity to learn this sword technique, he was very excited.
"Clap clap."
Suzuki clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"Alright, researchers, go back to the laboratory first."
"Yes! Lord Suzuki!!"
Many researchers who were still immersed in the bright future immediately reacted and bowed to Suzuki in unison.
Soon, Shinno and Biwako led them out of the hall.
Suzuki looked at the few people who were still present and said calmly to Yakushi Nono:
"Nonoyu, go and get a few uniforms."
"Yes."
After a while, Yakushi Nono walked over with a few sets of battle uniforms specially designed by the researchers.
Suzuki beckoned to her, signal her to distribute these uniforms to everyone present.
After everyone received their uniforms, Suzuki said calmly:
"These are the battle suits that I mentioned earlier, which require 1,000 points to exchange."
"They have many abilities and are very practical."
"Consider it a meeting gift for you."
As he spoke, Suzuki pointed to the number on Kakuzu's uniform and pointed to it:
"1-3, this is Kakuzu's number."
"It represents a first-level member, or the first team."
"According to the order in which I recruited you, your numbers are Mifu 1-4, Kaguya Takehara 1-5, Yuki 1-6, En no Gyōja 1-7, and Miyakogawa En 1-8."
"The other two are the researchers Shinno and Biwako. They are 1-9 and 1-10 respectively."
"Of course, if you're interested, you can also ask the researchers to add a cool code name."
"Just know your own identity."
"Yes! Lord Suzuki!!"
The few people who had received the battle suits for the first time had curious expressions on their faces. They held the uniforms in their hands and flipped through them non-stop.
"Alright, you can look at it later."
"Now, let me briefly explain your tasks."
Immediately after, Suzuki began to talk about the tasks he wanted to assign to them:
"Kakuzu, go to the Land of Bears, Shinobi Village."
"There's a meteorite in that village. Bring it back to me intact!"
Kakuzu quickly replied in a deep voice, "Yes! Lord Suzuki!"
Suzuki nodded. He had thought about this task for a while, but in the end, he decided to let Kakuzu complete it alone.
The strength of Shinobi Village was not strong to begin with. With Kakuzu's strength, it was more than enough to snatch the meteorite.
After all, he had snatched the Earth Grudge Fear back then in Takikagure, so he should be quite familiar with this.
However, Suzuki did not assign him a teammate because it was obvious that none of the people present were suitable to be Kakuzu's teammate.
Soon, Suzuki's gaze fell on the patriarch of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Takehara:
"Kaguya Takehara, you'll continue to stay in Kirigakure."
"After you go back, manage your own and the Kaguya clansmen well, and get along well with the ninja clans that have been suppressed by the Bloody Mist Policy!"
"The atmosphere of war is approaching. If nothing unexpected happens, Kirigakure will also participate."
"Also, remember to collect information about the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails during this period of time. I'll contact you when the time comes!"
Kaguya Takehara put away the battle suit in his hand and replied in a somewhat dull tone, "Yes! Lord Suzuki!"
Suzuki knew that this Kaguya clan leader wanted to fight and kill, but he didn't care.
Suzuki was not interested in taking care of his subordinates' psychological emotions.
Moreover, the nature of this beast-like Corpse Bone Pulse clan leader needed to be Grind it.
Suzuki's gaze quickly turned to the other people:
"Mifu, you'll stay at the base for now."
"En no Gyōja, Yuki, the two of you should guard the base."
"Yes! Lord Suzuki!"
En no Gyōja and the Yuki clan leader, Yuki, bowed respectfully.
En no Gyōja possessed powerful destructive power, while Yuki's Ice Release defense was not weak. Moreover, the base was close to the sea. If these two worked together, they would still have considerable combat strength.
Finally, Suzuki's gaze fell on the patriarch of the Chinoike Clan, Miyakogawa En:
"Miyakogawa En, you'll go to the capital with me later."
"We've been in the Land of Waves for so long. It's time to clean up and take control of this small country."
"In the future, this country will be handed over to your clansmen to manage."
Suzuki made a decision about the future of the Land of Waves in a casual manner, even though he had not even been to the capital yet.
Miyakogawa En did not expect that there would be such a good thing as soon as he arrived. He replied with a face full of joy, "Yes! Lord Suzuki!"
Suzuki nodded.
In the past, he did not have the manpower or the interest.
However, now that his powerhad gradually grown larger, it was natural that he needed to take control of the Land of Waves.
The Chinoike Clan happened to have good eyesight, so they could be used Vigilance personnels.
After giving out everyone's tasks, Suzuki looked at Kakuzu and the others and said calmly:
"Alright, you can go and carry out the tasks."
"Everyone, I wish you a smooth journey!"
"Yes! Lord Suzuki!!"
In the blink of an eye, Kakuzu and Kaguya Takehara left the base.
En no Gyōja and Yuki also went to the entrance of the base, preparing to carry out the task of guarding.
Suzuki smiled gently at Hanako and Yakushi Nonou:
"Hanako, Nonou, you guys go and study. Also, help me take care of the base."
The two girls nodded slightly at the same time: "Okay, Suzuki-chan/Suzuki-kun!"
All the matters had been dealt with, and Suzuki did not waste any more time.
As he walked, he instructed Miyakogawa En:
"Let's go. It's time for us to take control of this country."
"Yes! Lord Suzuki!"
