Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

Even the newly mutated venomous dragon scales were crushed.

"hateful……"

The rascal raised its head, but dared not continue to provoke the burly white-bearded man.

The other party truly possesses the ability to kill him.

That kind of extreme power burst, an attack that shakes and shatters everything, is something even a true dragon can't do; it's a special ability the opponent acquired from the game.

Without exchanging a word with anyone, it slunk away, wriggling its snake tail.

"It's just good luck that I was chosen by the reincarnation game first. Once I've completely transformed into a true dragon, I'll definitely swallow you all whole."

The players who had gathered at the Moonlight Tavern quickly dispersed.

The conversation between the young Ying Zheng and Mei Terumi also came to an end. She did not expect that the little brat in front of her would be even more troublesome than she, the Mizukage who had single-handedly overthrown the Blood Mist Village and led the rise of the Hidden Mist Village.

Although she eventually achieved her goal of recruiting the other party, the price she paid was equally huge, causing her considerable financial pain.

"What a cruel brat, but he does suit my taste."

Mei Terumi licked her rosy lips and said with a coquettish smile, "In a few years, I'll marry my sister directly, and then the entire Kirigakure will be yours."

Levi ultimately refused Whitebeard's offer to recruit him and did not leave the Giant Town simply because Whitebeard displayed his muscles.

"The real wall may have disappeared, but the illusory wall still exists."

Levi returned to the town of giants, watching the people inside the walls gradually adapt to the rules of the cycle game, and gripped his newly acquired two-handed greatsword.

In the past, the city walls were built to defend against giants.

Now that the city walls have been lost, there seems to be no threat from giants, but the pressure from the corrupted monsters and other players is a hundred times stronger and more terrifying than that from the giants.

Fortunately, although the gap in strength is still as huge as a chasm.

But the humans in the giant town no longer felt the fear they once had when facing giants, because anyone could potentially become stronger.

"Erwin, stop slacking off! Come with me to hunt the monsters roaming the wilderness!"

Levi grabbed his companion; now a Berserker, he easily dragged Erwin out of the house and towards the wilderness of the danger zone.

……

The Tower of Death, second floor.

It was still a black fog, obscuring all senses, and no exploration items could be used.

The Reincarnation Shrine emitted a faint glow, like a campfire in the pitch-black night, protecting fragile lives from attacks by ferocious beasts.

"Continuing like this is not a solution."

Orochimaru stood at the very edge of the light covering the Samsara Shrine, his face grim, with the roars of monsters constantly echoing in his ears.

The difficulty of the [Black Myth] map far exceeds that of all previous game maps.

Until now,

Despite being hailed as the strongest player, he wasted a great deal of resources to barely kill the weakest world boss, the Black Wind Mountain King.

A mountain king, an ordinary bandit, was transformed into a high-level monster on the second floor simply because of a drop of polluted black blood dropped by a third-floor boss.

The remaining players were slaughtered and killed by the monsters of Black Myth.

"If we can't defeat the world boss, we can't build a safe zone, and we'll have to spend a lot of reward points every day as detention fees."

Orochimaru had a terrible headache.

In the past, when encountering a powerful boss, we could use a large number of people as a tactic, but now we can only rely on our own strength to fight against it.

If you die by accident, you will need to complete the Underworld Mission to be resurrected.

He was killed during his first battle with the Black Wind Mountain King and was tasked with a mission to the underworld.

A very strange world.

All the extraordinary energy has converged on the basketball, and the mission's objective is to lead the team to victory in an academy basketball game.

His own abilities were sealed, and he could only exchange for various basketball skills.

Orochimaru managed to revive in a strange basketball world after spending half a month using the bizarre skills he obtained through Yomi Points, such as the [Blue Butterfly Cloud-Walking Step Lv.max].

The time wasted was even more than that was Jiraiya's.

"The penalty for death is too severe, and it's easy to waste a lot of time breaking through the black mist. So, unless absolutely necessary, you must not die."

Orochimaru's gaze was cold.

Unlike idiots like Jiraiya, he approached the task with the mindset of saving the world and redeeming the souls on their journey to the underworld.

No sooner had he teleported away from the basketball world than he branded that basketball idiot named Yuan Daying with a curse mark, turning him into a slave of the Fire Empire.

Nurturing? Redemption?

I don't have that kind of leisure and refined taste. In a low-level world like basketball, it's hard to find talented players. It's only fit to be my experimental material base.

What he wants to do most right now is to hunt down the corrupted monsters and get the legendary game items.

"I want to buy the Giant Totem."

Orochimaru arrived at the Reincarnation Shrine and opened the Black Myth exclusive shop.

On the shelf, a few game props were displayed alone.

At the very front is the [Giant Totem], which can summon a giant to see through the nearby black mist, preventing attacks from dark monsters and providing some direction within the black mist.

This is a must-buy game item once you enter the Black Mist World to explore.

Otherwise, even a player with exceptional perception like the Hyuga clan would get lost in the black mist and be swallowed by the tide of dark monsters.

Next came several gold-level game items.

These are all bosses who have already been killed by Orochimaru. They are sets of armor from the Black Wind Mountain bandits, with various attributes, and are classified as gold-level items.

For most top-tier players, these gold-tier [Black Wind Mountain Bandit] items hold no appeal whatsoever.

Characters like Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Onoki from the ninja world, as well as admirals and top pirates from the One Piece world, have long since collected enough gold-level items, and have had them forged, enhanced, and reinforced with gems.

Changing your outfit hastily can easily lead to a decrease in strength.

These game items are actually intended for players who will later gain access to the Black Myth map.

Therefore,

The main role of pioneering players like Orochimaru and Naruto Uzumaki is to clear obstacles for subsequent players.

"Orochimaru, shall we cooperate?"

A voice sounded from behind.

Orochimaru turned around and saw his mortal enemy, the Marine Alliance Admiral whom he had killed before.

Akainu.

Chapter 442 Guobei County

"Don't look at me like that, it's disgusting."

Akainu's face was cold, and he made no attempt to hide the disgust in his eyes. He looked at Orochimaru as if he were looking at a plate of snake meat soup.

If it weren't for the Navy Alliance's rich resources and accumulated resurrection coins...

He was indeed killed by the [Death Duel Badge] that Orochimaru pulled out. Such a grudge could not be easily forgotten.

"It's just surprising that the self-proclaimed righteous naval alliance would come after me."

Orochimaru smiled, his purple tear troughs widening slightly, and looked at Akainu, who had come to him on his own initiative, with a very puzzled gaze.

A robust physique; physical fitness should exceed 200 points.

The [Hellfire Master], a melee-type fighter capable of fusing with the Hellfire Demon, could potentially give the Undead Legion a Gold-rank leader if they could kill Akainu.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his chin.

Swish!

A sharp lava spike grazed Orochimaru's cheek, shot out of the Samsara Shrine's range, and illuminated the black mist behind him.

The menacing dark monster, poised to pounce, is like a hunter crouching outside a glass tank, waiting for the player to peek out.

sizzle.

The Hellfire Spikes were instantly extinguished by the black mist, having only traveled less than five meters.

If this were in the world of One Piece, this spike formed from hellfire lava would be able to destroy at least a small island.

Akainu frowned and said, "I told you, don't look at me with those disgusting eyes. If you're not sincere about cooperating, I don't mind finding other forces in the ninja world."

"I see."

Orochimaru retracted his tongue and asked with interest, "So, Admiral Akainu, how do you... no, how does the Marine Alliance intend to cooperate?"

Akainu, who hates me to the core, certainly wouldn't take the initiative to contact me; it must be the intention of the Navy Alliance behind the scenes.

Sakazuki said coldly, "The power of the dark monsters is beyond the imagination of the Navy Alliance. I'm afraid even you would be helpless against them."

It was definitely not my intention to come to Orochimaru.

It was the result of a vote by Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Naval Alliance, Chief of Staff Tsuru, and most of the commanders of the four seas.

"The Navy Alliance must be the most upset, right?"

Although Orochimaru is not interested in managing power, he has a keen insight and the ability to do so.

The former Sound Village and the now thriving Fire Empire are examples.

"In the past, the key to the Navy Alliance's ability to continuously hunt bosses was the presence of hundreds or even thousands of elite players."

"Let me think... Magellan, the viper warden; the fiery swordsman, the blazing mountain; the eight-clawed ghost spider..."

He spoke with a smile about the naval alliance's predicament.

It is precisely because of its large number of elite players that the Navy Alliance has been able to occupy the throne of the strongest power.

These players, while not possessing the same "Gold-level" strength as top-tier players, are not significantly different in skill level.
