Alone and Infinite

Page 266

The man with a gloomy face didn't speak, but instead gripped the drink in his hand and stared intently at the prompt in front of him.

White Wolf, as one of the top-tier second-tier warriors, runs a small team.

The White Wolf Squad was once a top-tier team in the second tier.

After advancing to the third tier with superior skill, he was fully confident that he could replicate his previous path once he reached the third tier.

As a result of their lack of experience, their team configuration encountered significant problems in Tier 3.

Moreover, those teams backed by guilds have gradually taken shape after the initial accumulation period.

The chaotic battle between apostles in the previous world made him realize something was wrong; if they hadn't reacted quickly enough, they probably would have been directly caught up in it.

After much painful reflection, he spent a large sum of money to buy the Hokage's secret information through a favor.

I plan to optimize my team composition and address any shortcomings in the Naruto spin-off world.

He understood that buying information was like drinking poison to quench thirst, but if he didn't do it, he would probably only be a pushover in the next derivative world, receiving only the guaranteed reward.

After entering the world, through careful study of secret intelligence, coupled with a bit of luck and the full support of the team members, they succeeded.

White Wolf successfully obtained the position of Special Jonin of Kirigakure, and thought he would definitely secure first place.

But I never expected that I, with a score as high as 76, would only be second place!

White Wolf's face grew increasingly gloomy. Even without his teammates saying anything, he knew that the situation before him was definitely caused by the number one.

Beyond anger, I was mostly terrified.

Just who is the number one winner that they can so drastically change the plot?!

Even the main storyline has to be postponed. He can't control the situation in the ninja world all by himself, can he?

A mere twenty days.

"Oh shit."

The cup in the white wolf's hand trembled and shattered into pieces.

The team members watched the white wolf in silence; they knew why their leader had broken down.

As a spin-off world, Naruto is a very popular world, even though the main storyline keeps changing its form and missions.

However, the apostles still managed to identify certain patterns.

For example, large-scale events like the Chunin Exams, Pain's attack, the battle for the tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails' invasion, the Third Shinobi World War, and the Fourth Shinobi World War.

It will basically adopt a semi-battlefield mode and will open a reward pool, with each apostle having a different reward pool.

Only the first-place winner will unlock the most comprehensive reward pool.

In other words, there was no battlefield communication platform; otherwise, Li Xia would have definitely discovered that the apostles were greeting him in various ways.

At this moment, the 'culprit' who caused the second round of main quests to be delayed is rubbing his chin and staring at the text in front of him.

[Executioner, please complete the 'Strange Movements in Kumogakure' as soon as possible and hand over the evidence to Kumogakure to initiate the second round of the main quest.]

That's right, the Temple of Light gave him a side quest.

The task was simple: to persuade Kumogakure to decide to attack Konoha.

Li Xia had originally planned to do this, but he delayed it because he wanted to control the pace and prevent Konoha from being completely crushed.

Unexpectedly, the Hall of Light had a very high probability of Li Xia bringing this to fruition during their deductions, which would cause great uncertainty in the second round of missions that the Hall had prepared.

In order to eliminate any uncertainties, the Hall of Light wanted to wait until everything settled down before formulating the mission.

From this perspective, the legendary dynamic task system is indeed quite powerful.

"Boss, did the Temple of Light create a special side quest?"

"Hmm." Li Xia pinched his chin, a strange smile suddenly appearing on his face.

"Hey, tell me, what will happen if I don't answer?"

Huh? Not accepting the mission?

Aowu looked at him blankly, because even in Aowu's memory, it seemed that no one had ever refused a mission from the Hall.

Refusing to answer is definitely not an option; if you really anger the Temple of Light, you're sure to suffer the consequences.

I am the one who transcends my beloved child, yet I am not the one who embodies light.

But as Li Xia looked at the task, a thought vaguely popped into her mind.

The Hall of Light could directly achieve this result through 'cognitive distortion'.

But now he stubbornly insists on pushing things forward himself.

Does this mean that even if the temple has such abilities, it cannot use them recklessly, but must abide by certain rules?

So he can try to bargain.

The Temple of Light only gave us the task, but not the reward, which won't do.

"What are the rewards for the side quests in the Hall of Fame?"

[Based on the assessment, this side quest aligns with the executioner's interests; therefore, based on the principle of aligning benefits, no additional reward will be given.]

The principle of aligning benefits?

Is there such a thing?

Although we didn't get anything out of the Temple of Light, we did manage to discover something new.

Without hesitation, Li Xia accepted the request.

The Chunin Exams will be announced tomorrow, and the entire Chunin Exams will last for 10 days.

Even with the ninjas' high mobility, 10 days is barely enough time to launch a major attack on a village.

Therefore, he had originally planned to inform Yunyin tomorrow or the day after.

From this perspective, the deduction of the Hall of Light is indeed correct.

The leaves of Konoha were tinged with a touch of languor in the early morning.

Life here is not fast-paced, and it has moved away from traditional farming.

The streets were unusually quiet, with only a few pedestrians yawning and walking along the deserted streets.

Li Xia first went to Ichiraku Ramen for breakfast before leisurely arriving at the music and video store.

The shop owner hadn't arrived yet. On days when they didn't need to restock, the owner's hired handyman, Kai, was responsible for getting up early to open the shop.

Kai, who was wiping the window with a rag, called out as usual.

Only then did he notice Li Xia standing at the door, and his pupils contracted.

Then, with a smile, he said, "So it's Lord Xia. Have you finished listening to the tapes you bought last time?"

Li Xia nodded casually: "I really like A Jin's rap, let's have a few more rounds."

A glint flashed in Kai's eyes; 'Akin's rap' was a code.

He is said to be the favorite rapper of the Fourth Raikage's younger brother.

"Teacher A-Jin's tapes are in high demand; we just restocked them a couple of days ago."

Kai greeted Li Xia with a smile and began to explain the contents of the tape in a pretentious manner.

After Li Xia left, Kai hid in the cubicle, suppressing the horror in his heart.

The intelligence conveyed by Li Xia was recorded onto the tape at an extremely fast speed.

The most important sentence is:

"Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure, is about to leave Sunagakure to go to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams."

[Executioner, the side quest 'Strange Events in Hidden Cloud Village' has been completed as determined by the Hall of Fame.]

Li Xia, who was walking towards the mansion, stopped in her tracks, somewhat surprised.

So fast? It was just submitted, right?

[Announcement: The second round of main quests is about to begin]

Li Xia simply stopped walking, seemingly admiring the river shimmering in the morning light from the bridge.

In reality, he was intently staring at the control panel.

[Executioner, the second main quest, 'A Pre-Rehearsal of the Fourth Shinobi World War,' has begun!]

[Mission Rewards: Battlefield Exclusive Reward Pool]

This was the main quest, and then a large amount of personal content began to appear in front of Li Xia.

[Executioner, depending on your assigned role, you can switch between the Konoha faction and Orochimaru's faction.]

[Executioner, when switching identities, you must ensure that your true identity is not revealed; otherwise, the identity that is revealed will be used.]

[Executioner, based on the results of the first round of main quests, you have unlocked all reward pools.]

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xia directly opened the reward pool page.

Awoo also came over.

Then the two of them let out a hissing sound as they inhaled.
