790: Chapter 790 What does all my hard work over the years amount to?

"Hey, Clarissa, the organization's cash flow consumption must be quite significant recently, right? How about we deposit 50% of Stark Industries' future net profits into the organization's account?" Tony said to Clarissa. He no longer "pursued" money; furthermore, for him, money was just a number in an account.

Under his operation, the current Stark Industries had already bought back all its stocks during the previous turmoil. Furthermore, he had taken Stark Industries private, turning it completely into an enterprise under his own control.

Therefore, his decisions were final.

As for whether the military or anyone else disagreed? It didn't matter. Once he handed over the data and technology for several weapons produced in the past, everything was negotiable once benefits were involved.

On top of that, Stark Industries had now transformed into Stark Energy.

Tony was now working in the business of pollution-free, clean energy!

The money he earned was not decreasing, but increasing compared to before.

He could truly be called a super wealthy tycoon.

"Oh? So generous?" Clarissa didn't care about the money, but she was surprised that Tony was so willing to part with it!

50% of the net profit! Based on Stark Energy's current revenue, that would mean investing at least over 1 billion USD into the Akatsuki Organization every month.

"What do you want?" Clarissa asked calmly, taking a sip of tea. "Don't even think about a promotion to executive; money is just a small matter."

"Hey! I know, I just want my contribution points to increase a bit each month, or just give me a one-time lump sum of contribution points." Compared to money, Tony valued contribution points more!

Not to mention that they could be exchanged for Cultivate resources and the like—leaving aside treasures for a moment—the more important thing was technology!

It could even be exchanged for technology from other worlds! Technology from interstellar worlds!

This couldn't be bought with any amount of money! How could Tony not be envious?

Money and such were just small matters.

With technology, he would have everything!

"Fine, in that case, your monthly contribution points will increase from 500 to 600." Clarissa thought for a moment and nodded. After all, Tony's money would be coming in every month, so she would just calculate it as 100 extra contribution points per month for Tony.

"Alright!" Tony immediately agreed. That was 100 contribution points! He could exchange for an extra Spirit Stone every month!

"Done." Clarissa nodded. No need to say more; the Akatsuki Organization had already recorded it automatically and immediately credited Tony with 100 contribution points.

Tony's bracelet notified him of receiving 100 contribution points, and his organization account now had 100 extra points, belonging to this month's contribution distribution.

Credited anytime! Credited on the spot!

"Thank you, Boss!" Tony shouted excitedly, then stood up and walked toward the underground base. "The time should be about right; I'll go down and take a look."

"Mm." Clarissa responded, still sitting calmly there.

Beside them, Lorna glanced at the tea-drinking Clarissa, shrank her neck, and hid herself deeper into the sofa.

I am just an insignificant person; I'll just enjoy myself peacefully and that's all.

Don't know how much time passed.

"It's done, it's done!" Tony ran up and shouted to Clarissa. "That serum has been created. Do you want to come down with me? Let's see what that Lizard monster looks like when it changes back."

"Mm, if it is Dr. Connors, I intend to recruit him into our Akatsuki Organization," Clarissa said to Tony.

"That's not bad. He can partner with Yinsen to work, and any future results will belong to the organization." Hearing this, Tony nodded in agreement.

After all, he had heard of Dr. Connors; he was a big shot as well.

Together with Yinsen, he would become a "scientist" of the Akatsuki Organization.

Anyway, there was a laboratory, and it was huge. If needed, it could be expanded at any time, or they could continue to open up a third or fourth underground level.

As long as there was a need, Akatsuki would apply, Clarissa would approve, and the nanobots could start working immediately.

It would only take a little bit of time.

Yinsen was a Level 2 member; if Connors joined, he would also start as a Level 2 member.

Furthermore, Yinsen had no requirements for his experiments; he could just research whatever he liked.

If results were produced, they counted for the organization; if not, they still counted for the organization.

However, producing results would be rewarded with contribution points.

Therefore, Yinsen was also enjoying himself.

Clarissa arrived at the underground base.

In the laboratory.

Dr. Lizard was locked up here.

Subsequently, Peter held a syringe in his hand.

"Everyone is here! Then I will begin..." Peter glanced at Dr. Lizard, then stuck the syringe into his body and injected all the serum inside.

Very quickly, the serum took effect.

The Lizard monster began to shrink and change, and various mutated parts began to recover.

In the end, it turned into a middle-aged man wearing shorts.

"Dr. Connors!" Peter called out, as expected.

It was indeed Dr. Connors!

The subsequent matters were much easier to handle.

Connors: "Repentance," "Moved," "Determined," "Joined."

He became a person of the Akatsuki Organization, rank—Level 2 member.

He formed the biological research team of the Akatsuki Organization with Yinsen.

And Connors's severed arm had already recovered because of the Lizard serum.

"It feels so good to have a hand..." Dr. Connors looked at his recovered arm and couldn't help but sigh: "It was not in vain that I researched so hard for so long... Although the process was a bit twisted, the final result is good."

"Yes, Dr. Connors, congratulations!" Peter nodded slightly at Dr. Connors; he naturally knew the pain in Dr. Connors's heart.

"Mm, it doesn't matter. Even if it hadn't healed, I have countless methods here that could make you recover," Clarissa said with a smile.

"Hm?" Connors had just joined, but he didn't know anything about the Akatsuki Organization.

But there was no other way; he had been saved, and it was by Peter and Gwen, these two "Disciples," plus some "sweet talk" and persuasion.

Connors, who had already been somewhat "heartbroken," combined with the treatment of the Akatsuki Organization and the freedom to conduct any scientific research, with no work requirements, no hard requirements... in short, one word: freedom!

With this treatment, not to mention money and other benefits.

Dr. Connors even felt like it was a scam.

But he was already caught here, and Peter and Tony were both present.

And they were all super-powered individuals.

There was no need to deceive a captive like him.

"Your bracelet, just study it yourself." Clarissa gave the organization bracelet to Connors.

"Alright." Connors nodded; as a newcomer, whatever the boss said was what it was.

In the future, he would be partners with Yinsen.

"Then that's it. Nothing else; from now on, Dr. Connors is a member of our Akatsuki Organization." After saying this, Clarissa returned to the villa above.

Connors happened to study this bracelet, as well as the organization mall.

When he searched for "limb regeneration" using keywords.

A whole bunch of things came out, and looking at the descriptions.

Connors suddenly felt... the Lizard serum he had researched for so many years, just in terms of the effect of limb regeneration, none of them could compare to what was in here, not to mention the variety of methods and approaches.

"Then what was all my hard research over these years—the research I wouldn't have even been able to get into if it weren't for Peter—worth?" Connors suddenly felt his Dao Heart shattering a bit.

"It counts as you being diligent," Tony said with a smile from the side. "Alright, since you've joined the Akatsuki Organization, we are now people of the same organization! There will be plenty of things for you to be surprised about in the future!"

"Mm." Dr. Connors nodded slightly. "I am just an ordinary scientific researcher. Being able to use what I have learned to help the organization and make some contributions is enough."

Dr. Connors then went with Yinsen to their biological laboratory.

"By the way, you two researchers, for the sake of time, if you don't want to Cultivate, you can consider the Gene Serum in the mall. Of course, if you are willing to exchange for it to conduct research, that is also fine." Clarissa's voice came from who knows where.
