Chapter 553 Superhuman Level
[The host has confirmed that he wants the 99 puppets to permanently remain in the world. For that reason, the multiplier effect for this round of income is going to be taken as payment.]
After Jack saw the prompt, he could not help but sigh to himself. It really would have been good if he had gotten the resources from the panthers organization multiplied by 100 times. But, it was a pity that he had to sacrifice it.
'System, if the 99 puppets remain, would they be able to improve in terms of strength like the normal people? Or would I need special methods to improve their strength?' Jack questioned.
All along, the 99 puppets did not need to eat anything or drink anything. They just existed they are like robots. So, Jack was worried that he might actually have to improve the strength of the puppets using other methods other than using the resources that he was going to acquire by looting the other enemy forces.
If that was the case, he was going to lose a lot. But, it was just that he did not understand how powerful the puppets would be after the improvement. But, what he really hoped was for the puppets to be able to improve using the resources just like humans could do.
[The method of increasing the strength of the puppets will depend on the host. The host can go ahead and improve the strength of the puppets using the normal means. But, the host could also sacrifice the multiplication effect to increase the strength of the puppets drastically.]
[But, the host is recommended to select the second option.]
Jack: " hah!"
Jack was relieved after hearing that. If there was a method that was going to improve the power of the puppets, then, that was good enough. Additionally, he was surprised that he could actually increase the strength of the puppets in the same way that he was making them to be able to stay here permanently.
Curious, Jack could not help but ask, 'System, how strong would they be if I use the second method?'
[The host will have to explore everything for himself.]
Jack: "…."
'Whatever. Forget about it. I'll just try it later on after I find an organization that is my enemy, and it doesn't have that much resources.' Jack thought to himself.
[Congratulations to the host. The 99 puppets will now permanently be able to exist in the host's world.]
After the completion, Jack was quite curious and impatient to test out the abilities of the puppets. He did not know if they were going to have any improvement or not, but, he really hoped that they were going to improve. After all, he had sacrificed a lot.
"What are you thinking about? You should come over so that you can complete the procedure of transfer." Sylvia called out to Jack.
She had been observing him, but, at some point, Jack was not even looking like a person who was in the present. Instead, it was as if he was thinking of something.
It was just that Sylvia was not sure that Jack would answer the question that she would ask. So, she just decided to call him so that he could complete the procedures that were required for the transfer to be completed.
Jack came back to his senses. The matter of the puppets would have to be kept aside for now, as he completed the transfer. But to say the truth, he had already lost the interest in whatever resources the Panthers organization possessed.
It did not take long for him to be able to complete the procedures. So, after about 1 hour, he went back home. But on the way home, he thought of something.
He had already signed a contract with the shadow organization. According to the contract, he was supposed to supply the shadow organization with resources. On the other hand, the shadow organization was going to work for him, trying to do whatever it was that he asked them to do.
It was just that, at this point, Jack felt that this organization was quite useless if it came to the matters of helping him. Currently, he was already dealing with superhumans. But in the entire shadow organization, there was not even a single superhuman amongst them.
It was just that, he decided that he had to complete his end of the deal first. After that, he would ask them to cancel the contract between them. And then, he would try to recruit them into his organization.
As for the matter of them being prevented from coming back into the stronghold domain, that was definitely something that could be easily taken care of. Anyway, any organization that belonged to the small strongholds could be handled by members of the big strongholds.
Just like Derek, he had come over to pass judgment to the Panthers organization. But nevertheless, to say the truth, there was nobody from the big stronghold that really cared about the small organizations in the small strongholds.
In any case, the whatever judgment that was being passed to the small strongholds was just something that could be ignored by the members of the big organizations in the big strongholds.
This time, as he was driving back, he was alone. So, he could think about the matter of the puppets. Of course, although it was true that the puppets had already been exposed, but, that was to the shadow organization.
But other than in that situation where he had gone to rescue Celine, he had not exposed the puppets again, other than to the three people that had gone to look for his aunt Anita. But, all those that had seen the puppets did not actually understand that they were puppets and not humans.
So, at this point, if the cost of upgrading the strength of the puppets was not that high, Jack was planning to make a private squad, a squad that was going to work for him in secret.
Inside the stronghold domain, it was always good for everybody to have some trump cards, something that other people did not actually know or expect. Additionally, it was a good thing that he would be capable of summoning them wherever he was immediately.
With just a single thought, a puppet appeared on the passenger seat of the car. Just like usual, she was wearing an armor, but from how Jack could see it, it was slightly different from the one that she was putting on the previous time.
At the same time, he could feel that the air around her was actually quite different from the previous time. This time, she felt stronger than before. It was just that Jack was not capable of telling what level of strength she was having currently.
[Currently, all the 99 puppets are at the first stage of the superhuman level.]
At this point, a system prompt appeared in front of him, giving him the information that he was looking for. And, the content of the information surprised Jack.
He had not expected that not only would the puppets be able to exist permanently, but, they had actually had an improvement in terms of strength, enabling them to be able to reach the superhuman level.
That implied that currently, Jack possessed 99 superhumans at his beck and call. Although they were only at the first level of the superhuman level, but, they would definitely be able to overwhelm a superhuman at the third stage and below.
Together with himself, Celine and Denali, there was actually a total of 102 superhumans in his group. With this amount of power, he would definitely be capable of taking over the entire stronghold without even lifting his own finger.
It was just that, Jack was not looking forward to conquering a small stronghold like this. Instead, since he had already acquired resources from the big organization present within the stronghold, then, Jack had already shifted his target.
If there was actually a chance for him to be able to acquire resources inside this stronghold, from the other organizations, then, he would definitely not hesitate. After all, with the hundred times income multiplier system, everything that he got was actually going to be multiplied by 100 times. And with that, there was nothing that was considered useless for the current him.
The current target that Jack was having his mind who was the Devin Stronghold. In that stronghold, not only was he thinking of conquering it to complete the task that he had been given by the system, but, he was also thinking of starting his organization there.
If possible, Jack would have conquered every stronghold that he could find, so that he could get resources. It was just that the restriction from the system stated that he could only gain the multiplier effect if he was looting his enemies.
That implied that if he attacked the other organizations if they had not initiated an attack on him first, then, the income was not going to be multiplied. And, that was not something that was considered useful to him, rather, it was a waste of his time.
With all these thoughts in his mind, Jack finally thought that the puppet should go around, looking for information about anybody that was going to approach this stronghold.
He was not sure about when the members of the Force organization headquarters were going to come over. Other than them, there were also members of Derek's family.
Although he was not afraid of them, it was better to be prepared. So, as long as they appeared, the puppet was going to be informing him of their appearance.
So, Jack went ahead and stopped the car closer to an alley. After that, the puppet got out of the car before she dashed into the alley. Thinking that one was not enough, Jack summoned nine more, making it a total of 10. With 10 superhumans watching over the entire Stronghold, they would definitely not be any possibility of someone being able to come in without him noticing it.
After the puppets had left, Jack finally thought of something and asked, 'System, where is everything kept before it is given to me?'
