Louis, having assigned a comprehensive set of tasks to Zero, proceeded to open the last reward bestowed upon him by the system.
"Since the name of this Secret Organisation is Overlord Dragon, I, the great system, will magnanimously help the host in naming and categorization, as it has been observed that the Lord and Host have a poor naming sense."
"This Organization will be differentiated into six ranks: Rank 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and Zero. That is all about the ranking, but instead of numbers, you can use Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Ruby, and Sapphire. Anyone can be used."
"This book is not bad, but I think the other ranking method sounds better, so I would prefer that," Louis soliloquized as he read the Overlord Dragon Code Tome.
Continuing to flip the pages of the book for a while, Louis eventually closed it.
"The system has made my job very easy," he said, noting the important categories and the code name he was going to give to them.
Jade Dragon for the Kings and Emperors, Golden Dragon for the Businessmen, Celestial Dragon for Air warfare and defense, Aquatic Dragon for the Sea, Spectral Dragon for the Scientists, Elder Dragons for the Sages, Great Teachers, and Professors, Hydra for the Spy group, Shadow Dragon for the Assassins, Drakes for the members of the Royal and Imperial Court, Wyverns for the Fighters.
"I think this is enough," Louis said as he stopped jotting and stood up to find something to eat.
DING.
[Hidden Quest Completed: Ranking and Categories]
[Reward granted]
Louis whistled, acknowledging the completion of the quest, and decided to take a break by venturing into the nearby forest.
"I'm back to the days of research," he mused as he gathered jars to collect samples of plants with similar or superior attributes to those he had encountered on Earth. Whether on Earth or in this new world, the allure of immortality continued to tempt many individuals. The Longevity Medicine remained a strategic weapon in his plan.
"System, can you help analyze the species present in the forest and in the sea and compile them into a list according to their attributes and active ingredient?"
[You underestimate this noble system too much. Analyzing... 1%... 2%....]
While the system was still analyzing, Louis started thinking about the project he should have started but couldn't due to the lack of raw materials. Starting from the Portal System to the Liquid Robot, he sat down, contemplating a way to obtain these raw materials, most of which weren't available in this small city.
Although he wanted to use this city as his base, at least until he could move to space, it would take a while. According to the accounts of the library, the city was underdeveloped, akin to a village on Earth with the lowest of technology and a scarcity of raw materials.

Meanwhile, Zero, burdened with numerous missions, began to roam around the city, contemplating where to start. The weight of responsibility pressed on him, aware that time was limited. As he navigated through the bustling streets, he pondered the challenges ahead, formulating a strategy to efficiently tackle the tasks assigned to him by Louis.
He finally decided to travel out of this city, realizing that it would take at least a year for Louis's project to be completed.
"Master, I have a plan."
Louis, on the other side, saw Zero's message and was curious about what plan he had.
"I would love to hear your plans."
"I plan to leave this city to find a way to make money and to get raw materials, especially for the Liquid Robots, so that I can get a very loyal and trustworthy set of people to follow up on my plans."
"You still haven't told me your plan yet."
"Boss, I need you to manufacture a product that can be sold for a high price, and with that money, I will start my plans."
Louis, at the other end, was just listening to Zero but not responding. "This guy is not telling me his plans; he is just rallying around the point. But since the guy is dead loyal to me, I can trust him," Louis thought.
"Boss.... Master....," Zero, after a few minutes and not getting a response from Louis, tried to get his attention.
"The thing is that you will have to come to the base so that we can work together to get a faster result," Louis finally replied as he continued to think of what to produce.

Louis, who had just stopped communicating with Zero, paced around. This new location meant starting his information gathering and research from scratch, even with the aid of the system.
"System, aren't you done with the analysis?"
[Analysis in progress... 80%... 90%...]
[Analysis Complete]
Louis rushed to the command room to check the results of the analysis.
"In the forest, a total of seven hundred species of trees were noticed. A total of one thousand and five hundred flora species were noticed ..."
Louis continued to read the results of the population and analysis, which continued for a while. Louis had already entered the Researcher Mode, so engrossed in what he was analyzing as he copied and made notes of different combinations that might work, he didn't even notice when Zero came back.
Zero also didn't disturb him; he joined him as he knew they had very limited time.
As Louis wrote different combinations, Zero used the other system to simulate what the results would look like and the success rate after adding or reducing a material.
This continued for a few hours until the pangs of hunger brought Louis back to reality.
"Oh, you are here," Louis exclaimed as he finally noticed Zero, who was simulating the probability of success.
"Yes. I bought you some food and fruits when I was coming; it's over there," Zero replied, pointing his fingers to one of the shelves in the room without taking his eyes off the computer.
"Thanks for the food; it's like you know that I am famished. Anyways, you can concentrate your research on the basic strength portion or pill and the basic healing portion (or pill). Try to simulate around those areas; there might be a result," Louis said as he walked to the shelf to carry the food.
"Yes, Boss."
Louis didn't reply as he was already eating and couldn't wait to finish eating and continue where he stopped.
"Master, come and see. A success probability of 90%."
