Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and said, "I can lend you the two players from the logistics department for now. They said there are metal golems in the game store that can improve construction efficiency. I will send a document to the finance department to allocate funds to you."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's head was throbbing, and looking at the overdrawn budget, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

Minato Namikaze died in battle, Jiraiya and Tsunade left the village heartbroken, Orochimaru defected, Sakumo Hatake committed suicide, and the Uchiha clan was massacred...

He was the only remaining pillar, gradually decaying, supporting the vast and strongest ninja village.

It appears to be enjoying boundless glory, but in reality, it is teetering on the brink of collapse.

If we cannot outperform the other four major ninja villages in this Chunin Exams, they may become restless.

Even the daimyo of the Land of Fire might reduce his support for the village.

"Sasuke becoming a player is a good thing for the village, as it can be used to fight against young people from other ninja villages."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried.

According to intelligence, other ninja villages also have players selected by the Reincarnation Game who are likely to participate in this Chunin Exam.

That's why I used strong measures to refute Danzo and shifted funds towards the Samsara Game.

Konoha absolutely cannot lose the Chunin Exams!

……

"Master, Salina is going to attack the newbie village tomorrow. Aren't you afraid?"

The white-haired little girl was depressed and couldn't even taste the fried chicken that was offered to her.

Everything was initially moving in a positive direction.

But the death of the Ghost General alarmed the Ghost Mage Salina, who was a second-tier source of corruption.

In gaming terms, it's a level 20 lord boss.

The white-haired loli said, "Master, I suggest spending 500,000 reward points to reinforce the walls of the newbie village to defend against the attacks of the lord monsters."

Once Salina makes her move, the original, fragile walls of the starting village will be no match for her.

The fall of the city means the core of the starting village has been destroyed.

This is a very serious matter; all of the master's efforts so far will be in vain.

The players will also cease to exist.

Fang Yi, however, looked nonchalant and said, "Don't worry, just look at the defense level of the city wall yourself."

The white-haired loli was puzzled.

After getting closer to the city wall to investigate, she showed a shocked expression, her little face freezing.

[Beginner Village Walls]

Defense level: 17 (2552/6000 energy)

Skill: Ghost Soldiers (Summons 100 ghost soldiers every half hour. The summoned creatures cannot leave a 500-meter radius of the city walls.)

Skill 2: Ghost Cannon (Consumes 200 ghost soldiers, unleashing a ghost energy strike that deals 800 points of true damage.)

Note: Walls upgraded with various ghost materials can draw upon some ghost power.

The white-haired loli Afu opened her mouth wide and stuffed a piece of fried chicken into it, exclaiming in surprise, "Master, so you had already secretly upgraded the city wall. I was worried for nothing."

A level 17 Ghost Wall can withstand a level 20 Lord boss for a period of time.

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "How could that be? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would spend money to upgrade the city walls?"

Seeing that he wouldn't admit it, the white-haired loli assumed he was just being stubborn. She narrowed her big, watery eyes into slits and teased, "Does the city wall have the power to upgrade itself?"

Fang Yi flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "Idiot, have you forgotten the mission I issued a while ago?"

Dear readers, my trial recommendation is here! You'll be able to see me featured on the recommendation page on Monday. Without you readers, there would be no trial for me, Xiangyizi. (clasped hands) Thank you all so much for your strong support. Love you all!

Chapter 40 Merit Points

[Repair the starting village walls], [Store materials], [Explore the Dead Soul Mountains]...

"These are all quests specifically issued for hunting ghost mages."

"The task of repairing the city wall requires collecting various rocks and wood from the polluted area, as well as materials dropped by monsters."

"The mission to explore the Dead Soul Mountains requires players to go to the territory of the Ghost Mage, gather information, and dispel the fog of war."

"No reward points will be awarded upon completion of the task; the task reward is various levels of Reincarnation Pottery Jars."

Fang Yi smiled slightly and explained, "Upgrading the city wall myself would require 500,000 reward points, but if I outsource the task to those gambling players, the rewards from the pottery jars would only cost 50,000 points, enough to make them work themselves to death to collect materials and upgrade the city wall for me."

The white-haired loli said worriedly, "The ghost mages are about to attack. If we continue to exploit the players like this, won't it provoke their resistance?"

This has happened before in the tech world.

Besieged by the Fallen Angel, a fourth-order source of pollution, and a group of accompanying pollutants, the world chose to exploit and exploit, directly causing the technological world to collapse and descend into a chaotic apocalypse. Even the strongest group of mech warriors betrayed them.

The consequences are very serious.

Hearing her concerns, Fang Yi laughed and said, "I didn't hold a knife to the player's neck, so how can it be considered exploitation?"

"It was all done voluntarily by the players; they should be thanking us!"

Behind the screen,

Tsunade stood at the edge of the city wall, at the station where she submitted the [City Wall Repair Mission].

Open the backpack; it's filled with a densely packed array of various materials.

These materials were all picked up and put into my inventory while I was hunting ghosts recently, so it didn't take much time.

Of course, there are also very rare materials, such as the soul power crystal dropped by the Ghost Captain, leather containing a strong ghost aura, iron ingots, and so on.

They all come from elite ghost monsters, and the drop rate is very low.

If you sell them all to the mall, you can earn 800 in rewards.

"Selling it to the mall would guarantee a minimum profit, it's a huge loss!"

This is Tsunade's idea.

She was unwilling to sell the materials to the in-game store, as everyone knows that selling materials directly to the game's official website yields the lowest prices.

Selling it to some merchant players in the newbie village can fetch roughly 1,500 reward points.

These merchant players are very weak in combat. Even if they are of a high level and have full white gear, they still find it difficult to hunt monsters of the same level.

Therefore, merchant players gave up hunting.

They roam around all day, buying materials and equipment from players at a guaranteed price, and then selling them to another group of players who urgently need them, making a profit from the price difference.

Even if you sell it to a merchant, you won't make much money.

After careful consideration, Tsunade

Empty your inventory and put all the materials into the wall repair station.

A burst of golden light.

All the materials disappeared, and a panel suddenly appeared.

[Materials submitted: Ghost Leather (Inferior)*15, Ghost Iron Ingot (Inferior)*20, Soul Power Crystal (Medium)*8, Ghost Rock (Inferior)*99...]

Merit Points: 5654

Tsunade muttered to herself as she calculated, "The level one equipment pottery jar costs 100 merit points, but I want the skill pottery jar the most, which costs 1,000 merit points. I can only buy five pottery jars."

After much deliberation, I finally decided to exchange for the skill pottery jar.

I am a level 13 priest, wearing a level 10 blue set, the Ghost Rider Set, obtained from the [Ruins Castle] dungeon. This set greatly enhances my defense and adds strength attributes.

She has no shortage of equipment; what she lacks now is skills and experience.

Take the level 10 awakened class skill [Holy Light Cross] as an example. Upgrading it to Lv.2 requires 500 skill experience points, not to mention the reward points.

This means that the skill needs to be used 500 times.

Putting time aside, the massive consumption of blue potions is a considerable expense.

The game store sells experience capsules, but they're ridiculously expensive, and no one's willing to be fooled enough to buy them.

Tsunade clenched her fists, staring nervously at the clay pot in front of her, and said, "Skill Clay Pot, there's a 20% chance of it dropping a skill experience capsule, I refuse to believe I can't get one!"

At first, she was actually unwilling to spend a huge amount of reward points to upgrade her skills.

This is a thought that many players have had, simply because upgrading skills is too expensive, and the higher the quality of the skill, the more expensive the upgrade.

But in the end, they all abandoned this idea and were willing to go bankrupt to upgrade.

no way,

The allure of upgrading skills is simply too great for players to resist.

The same skill,

【Holy Light Cross Lv.1】The healing effect is slightly stronger than that of ordinary medical ninjutsu. When it reaches Lv.2, the healing effect is three times that of Palm Healing Technique!

Just like Wood Release.

With the support of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, a player from Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) redeemed the expensive Wood Release skill from the game's shop.

The result, however, was less than satisfactory.

The effect of Level 1 Wood Release was far from ending the chaos; it lacked the powerful strength that the legendary God of Shinobi possessed.

At best, they can only build wooden houses; their strength is only that of an ordinary Jonin.

Having witnessed Hashirama Senju's power, the Tsuchikage was unwilling to give up and reluctantly upgraded that player's Wood Release to Lv.5, and then...

The originally weak Wood Release technique has become many times more powerful after the upgrade. Although it cannot reach the level of Hashirama Senju, it can easily create a small forest.

Behind the screen,

The white-haired loli asked curiously, "Master, merit points and reward points are both currencies used to buy items, so why go through all this trouble?"
