Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

"The forces of dawn..."

The Yuan Master, leaning on a snake-head cane, was hunched over, yet possessed an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger.

His head was bald, with no hair.

The elders, who should have held the highest power in Kirigakure, had their power completely taken away by Mei Terumi after the appearance of the Reincarnation Game.

Yuan Shi was not angry, nor did he have any intention of opposing the Water Shadow.

He had no desire for power and had always opposed Yagura Karatachi, but he didn't want to watch Kirigakure be destroyed.

The current Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, surpasses all her predecessors in both intellect and strength.

I can entrust the Hidden Mist to the other party with peace of mind.

Therefore, he voluntarily steps down and yields to a more capable person, only offering targeted advice based on his years of experience during critical decision-making processes.

"The Land of Rain is plagued by heavy rains all year round, making the soil unsuitable for cultivation. It is also a land of constant warfare, making normal development impossible."

"In such an impoverished country, even nobles do not live comfortably."

"I heard there's a terrorist organization that stirs up wars everywhere, with its headquarters in the Land of Rain. I originally suspected that the Dawn Organization was connected to that terrorist organization, but now it seems that one stirs up wars while the other quietly helps civilians. These two different ideologies are simply incompatible, and the two should not have much to do with each other."

Master Yuan widened his eyes slightly and said, "If that's the case, the Dawn Organization's rapid rise in the game is likely due to the secret support of the Merchant Alliance."

The purpose is to cooperate with the performance and manipulate the market prices of various materials. This is a trick that the Merchant Alliance has been using frequently lately.

After a moment's thought, Mei Terumi summoned Chojuro and instructed him, "Take out a silver material and go to the Crimson Wasteland to trade with the Dawn Organization. See if they will accept it."

If this is not accepted, it can be concluded that the Dawn Organization is a force that the Merchant Alliance has brought to the forefront.

If you accept the deal, you can cancel it at the last minute without losing any silver materials.

"Master Yuan."

Mei Terumi leaned against her desk, unfolded an extremely detailed map, and said, "This is a game map of the Dead Soul Mountains that we hired some players at a high price to survey. If Kirigakure wants to establish a clan, where would be a good place to set up their territory?"

All parties who wanted to establish a family business carefully and tacitly chose the location of their family business.

This is just like when the Five Great Ninja Villages were created.

The first Kage would conduct thorough discussions and ultimately build the ninja village in an area that would maximize its advantages.

For example, in Kirigakure, the first ninja, Byakuren, was skilled in water-style ninjutsu and had many water-style masters under his command. So he built the village on the sea off the Land of Water.

The same applies to the other ninja villages.

"In the northwest corner of the Dead Soul Mountain Range, there is a lava pool with a strong aura of the underworld. The family territory is set up near the lava pool."

Move to the conference room.

After discussions between Mei Terumi and the ninja clan, the location of the clan's territory was finally determined.

She quickly logged into the game and led the players of the Fog Shadow Alliance to the vicinity of the lava pool.

Ring of Blazing Inferno.

Mei Terumi waved her purple staff, and a giant ring of flames, resembling a ring, imprisoned dozens of lava wraiths before suddenly locking them in place.

The Lava Wraiths, also fire-attribute creatures, had no chance to resist or struggle; they were scorched by the exploding flames and turned into dark red stones.

"Don't waste it, pick it up."

"The lava rocks dropped by the Lava Wraith can be used to forge level 5 white weapons with fire damage."

You don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the household.

The number of players in the Hidden Mist Alliance has exceeded 700, which brings with it a huge logistical burden that the Hidden Mist Village's funds alone cannot support.

Fortunately, he managed to recover some health by attacking Konoha.

Otherwise, even a dignified water spirit like myself would be so poor that I'd have to sell myself to a game merchant as a slave.

The cleanup of the contaminated monsters is complete.

A family token slowly rose into the air, bursting forth with dazzling light.

Mei Terumi's expression suddenly changed drastically, and anxiety appeared in her delicate eyes. She hurriedly said, "All players of the Mist Hidden Alliance, quickly contact your familiar solo players and purchase silver materials!"

At the same time, a message was quickly posted in the channel, also offering the highest reward of two hundred points.

【Light of the Mist】: Buy [Salina's Heart] for 41,000 reward points. Sell it at the Lava Pool in the Dead Soul Mountains. Trade with players from the Mist Alliance.

Chapter 117 You think you won't have to spend money after building the family territory?

The white-haired loli asked nervously, "Master, are we really going to give them their family's territory?"

Through the light screen,

The Fog Shadow Alliance and the Dawn Forces can be clearly seen arguing fiercely in the channel.

They all abandoned their restraint and frantically plundered all the silver materials in the ninja beginner village. The value of a single silver-quality [Salina's Heart] material had already soared to 45,000 reward points.

Originally, players were extremely eager for the silver materials that could unlock the clan token, but now they have reached a point of near-madness.

The silver heart was originally intended as a one-time material to unlock the family token.

I never expected that we would be able to expand our family territory!

Who can resist temptation?

"I ate too much today, so dinner is canceled."

Fang Yi glanced at her round belly, poked it with his finger, and her belly flattened like a deflated balloon.

Ah Fu became deflated and even forgot about the tense things.

"How can a family business exist without territory?"

Seeing how worthless Afu looked, Fang Yi covered his head in disgust and explained, "Just like a real ninja village, only after players have territory will they spontaneously gather together, cooperate and compete with each other, and better hunt pollution sources to break through the polluted world."

After the Crimson Wasteland was breached, the massive feedback from the source caused his flesh and soul to transform once again.

They went directly from the first level of perfection to become a true second-level life form.

He also obtained the authority over the Crimson Wasteland, becoming the master of this world fragment. With two world fragments, he could use them as stepping stones to unlock the second-tier world.

Our focus can no longer be limited to the ninja world.

Because the world of One Piece is too vast and its origins are insufficient, Fang Yi did not devote as much attention to it as he did to the world of ninjas.

It simply uses a game tower to randomly recruit players every month.

Now, the reward points from conquering the Crimson Wasteland have accumulated to five million, enough to begin planning for the Pirate World.

"But Master."

Afu hesitated and said, "Unlike the previous resource map rental, players can only mine on the resource map and manufacture a certain type of mining tool. They have no other rights."

"However, if we give them their family territories, it means that we will have no right to interfere with any of the outputs within their territories, and the efficiency of the source recycling will be greatly reduced."

After renting a resource map, players only have the right to mine and cannot make changes to the map.

However, once the ownership of the family territory is given to the player, it is equivalent to the reincarnation game completely relinquishing control. The player can then build houses, dig land, and so on on this family territory.

Furthermore, the ownership of these modified products belongs to the player.

Even if Fang Yi wanted to reclaim the family territory, he would still need to pay the players this portion of the reward points.

"This is exactly the effect I wanted!"

Fang Yi rubbed her little head and explained speechlessly, "Didn't you see? This is just the expansion of the family territory. It has already made the players take out all the savings they have accumulated over this period of time."

Afu said worriedly, "Expanding the family territory with tens of thousands of reward points, the master didn't lose out, but he didn't gain much either."

"Didn't make much money? This is just the appetizer..."

Fang Yi sneered repeatedly and said, "Since it's family territory, it must be a private place. How could it not have territory walls?"

"When monsters attack the city, even for someone like me who doesn't have any middlemen taking a cut, the walls of the ninja beginner village cost 500,000 reward points. How much do you think they need to build the city walls of their territories?"

"The larger the family territory, the larger the city wall area, and the more materials and reward points are needed for construction. That makes perfect sense, right?"

Afu raised a question: "Can't the players refuse to upgrade the city walls?"

"Of course, the Reincarnation Game is dedicated to creating happiness and will definitely not force players to participate."

Fang Yi smiled kindly and nodded, saying, "However, I will issue clan defense missions every month, randomly opening polluted spaces that match the clan's level. If we don't build territory walls, a continuous stream of polluted monsters will rush into the clan's territory and wreak havoc!"

"Can players bear to watch their hard work be destroyed by corrupted monsters?"

He paused briefly, giving Afu time to think.

Ah Fu puts himself in others' shoes.

If it were me, and I had the means to create world walls to protect the original world, I would definitely spare no effort in building those walls as well.

The master's move was too ruthless.

What's even more ruthless is that the monsters that attack the clan's territory will also become stronger as the clan's level increases. In other words, as long as the clan is upgraded, the clan's walls must also be upgraded, otherwise they will be unable to stop the corrupted monsters.

Just as the white-haired loli was already drenched in a cold sweat,

Fang Yi continued, "Moreover, the reward points for the family territory are not only consumed by the city walls."

"Whether it's the Dead Soul Mountains or the Crimson Wasteland, the reward points consumed to conceal our presence and avoid being discovered by the polluted world, as well as to maintain the slow growth of the world fragments, have always been paid for by me."

"Now that the clan territory has been handed over to the players, I certainly can't continue to take this part of the source, right? ... So players need to pay me a clan territory maintenance fee every month."

After hearing this,

Afu was dumbfounded. Wasn't resisting the pollution of the world and the source of pollution something that the master had to do?

How can the burden be shifted onto the players?

Just like the barbecue I just ate, when players come to the Reincarnation Game to eat, you not only charge for tableware, but also for charcoal and seating.

Is this how you bully people?

But upon closer reflection, it inexplicably feels somewhat reasonable.

Since the clan territory has been handed over to the players, theoretically, the players should naturally assume the responsibility of maintaining the clan territory.
