Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

However, the Chunin Exams will begin soon, and Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan will be launched, throwing the entire Hidden Leaf Village into chaos. All that's needed is for Naruto to be kept in the dark and taken away by him.

Mabu-i said with a solemn expression, "Lord Mizukage, are you trying to start a war by acting so recklessly?"

"Oh?"

Mei Terumi retorted without backing down, "Does the Hidden Cloud Village intend to bring the grudges of the Reincarnation Game into the real world?"

"Don't argue."

"If the infighting continues, although we, the Hidden Mist Village, will suffer the greatest losses, you won't get any spoils either. Group invisibility items aren't cheap either. Do you all want to return empty-handed?"

"Let's hunt monsters together, and settle our scores back in the starting village!"

The threat of the Ghost General remains; a moment's carelessness could lead to death.

The ruined castle is filled with ghostly streams; touching them will bind you and continuously reduce your health with ghostly claws.

The terrain is a constraint.

This led to a significant increase in the death rate of the players present, and reward points flowed continuously into Fang Yi's pocket.

What was originally a solo operation by the Fog Concealment Alliance has now transformed into a battle between the first batch of top-tier technical players in the Reincarnation Game and the Ghostly mini-boss.

Naruto and Neji, this new generation of ninjas, didn't feel much.

However, Mei Terumi, Asuma, Samui, and the others fought in a very awkward manner.

They had all experienced the Ninja World War, where the five great ninja villages attacked each other. They had always fought as enemies and never imagined that one day they would be able to join forces.

Behind the screen,

The white-haired loli couldn't help but ask, "Master, if you use levels to limit the items that can be purchased in the game store, it will cause their growth rate to be too slow."

She meant to refer to the blonde, big-breasted Tsunade player.

Despite having reward points, you are unable to purchase high-level equipment and items due to your low level.

If the restrictions are lifted, the player's strength will skyrocket, and the master will also earn enough reward points.

A win-win situation.

"Don't put the cart before the horse."

Fang Yi looked at the white-haired loli who ate a lot of high-calorie food every day but still had a flat figure, and gently poked her forehead with his finger.

"Collecting reward points is the means; defeating the source of pollution is the goal."

"Because of insufficient productivity, the purchasing power of funds in the ninja world is very weak. Therefore, most of the resources are concentrated on ninjas. Removing the purchase restrictions will naturally create a group of powerful players in a short period of time."

"But we need to think long-term. Once the Ghost General is successfully hunted down, we'll have enough reward points to unlock a new world."

Fang Yi already had a plan in mind: spend 1 reward points to touch the coordinates of the new world.

The New World was vast, with countless islands and shipping routes.

Rare treasures, famous swords and sword techniques, and fruits that grant magical abilities when eaten...

Navy and pirates, World Government and Revolutionary Army.

This is a world completely different from the ninja world. People who possess treasures here do not necessarily have the talent and power to fight against the source of pollution.

For example, if the restrictions on exchanging items were lifted, such parasites could become the strongest pay-to-win players on the new server overnight.

While spending real money is the most powerful method, you might not even be able to unleash one-tenth of your full potential.

This kind of pay-to-win pig... can only be used to collect funds in the short term, and is not good for anything else.

After all the top players had relentlessly hunted and spent their reward points like flowing water, the Ghost General's massive body collapsed heavily.

"Lady Sarina!"

In its final moments before its body dissipated, the monster let out an angry roar.

A pile of dropped items, shimmering with blue and purple light, appeared.

Server Channel

Mysterious Merchant: Congratulations to the player of Reincarnation Game for successfully hunting the Ghost General.

The game map [Dead Soul Mountain] storyline has been updated. Boss Ghost Mage Salina has noticed the general's death and will attack the beginner village in 15 days.

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

Map Update: A special dungeon, [Ruins Castle], has been added. Players can purchase game tickets in the game store. Clearing the dungeon will grant a large amount of experience and has a chance to drop low-quality [Castle] items.

Chapter 22 War of words

Outside the ruined castle,

Most players who were still resisting the ghost army suddenly felt that the ghost army was no longer as endless as the tide.

Instead, like ordinary monsters, it only condenses from ghostly aura every so often.

Upon seeing the announcement, everyone was in an uproar.

"The Ghost General was actually hunted down?"

"A purple greatsword and a blue suit of armor—who exactly got the divine gear?"

"Are the Ghost Mages going to attack the starting village?"

"Castle dungeons can also drop fixed equipment, so wouldn't that mean we can also get top-tier equipment?"

Merchant players, in particular, have a keen sense of business opportunities.

Although their combat strength is weak and cannot be compared with ninja players, buying and selling is their innate talent.

Several merchant players have already purchased large quantities of materials and items in advance, and have made a fortune after the life system update.

Each announcement and update to the game offers an opportunity to make money.

"Quickly buy tickets and find out what the castle dungeon is all about!"

Countless players flocked to the scene.

Immediately afterwards, a player posted a statement in the server's announcement section.

The Mist Shadow Alliance has successfully hunted the Ghost General and is now recruiting casual players.

The Cloud Concealment Alliance has secured the first kill on the Ghost General and is now recruiting solo players.

The two largest player groups have both issued statements claiming that they hunted down the Ghost General.

Nobody's a fool.

This kind of display of strength and flexing of muscles, once made public, will definitely attract many indecisive solo players.

"Lady in linen, the Ghost General was clearly killed by us. Isn't it wrong of you to deceive everyone like this?"

"Your Mist Village merely infiltrated the castle first. If it weren't for our Cloud Village's intervention, could you have defeated the monster?"

Neither side was willing to back down, and both wanted to claim the credit for themselves.

They even started a war of words right there in the server's announcement section.

[You people from Kirigakure like to do these sneaky things. I heard you even stole a Byakugan, making the Hyuga clan consider you an irreconcilable enemy?]

[Heh, you haven't even cleaned up your own mess, yet you dare to slander Kirigakure. Do you really think nobody knows about you kidnapping the Hyuga clan's eldest daughter?]

"You're talking nonsense! It was Konoha that struck first and killed our Kumogakure envoy..."

"I am Sarutobi Asuma, a Jonin of Konoha. I hereby raise an objection: Konoha did not kill the Kumogakure envoy back then."

……

Every two hours, players can post a sentence on the bulletin board.

If you want to post continuously during the cooldown period, you will receive 20 reward points for each post.

At this moment, the issue of who should be responsible for the death of the Ghost General sparked a conflict between the Hidden Mist and the Hidden Clouds. They were both reluctantly issuing announcements and trying to suppress each other's arrogance.

In the end, it turned into a battle of financial resources.

[The Cloud Village, surrounded by rocks, dares to boast on the bulletin board? If they say another word, they'll probably run out of mission commission funds!]

[Let's have a real-world showdown! Are those Kirigakure water ghosts all they do? They've been utterly routed by Kumogakure in every war!]

All the players were watching the spectacle.

The verbal battle between the two sides lasted for two whole hours, directly bringing Fang Yi a net profit of nearly two thousand reward points.

Players purchase various equipment and skills from the game store, and Fang Yi also needs to consume reward points to create them, earning a profit from the price difference.

But using loudspeakers like this is a completely risk-free business.

Every penny that was swiped went into his pocket.

Fang Yi stroked his chin, thinking, "It seems that if I have the chance in the future, I should secretly instigate battles between different factions in the game. Even if we don't actually fight, it would be good if we just insulted each other and spammed the megaphone."

In the end, Yunyin's financial resources couldn't sustain the situation any longer, so they stopped posting announcements.

【Dear players, this is the evidence of our Cloud Hidden Village's hunt for the Ghost General: the [Blood Fiend Greatsword].】

The suffix includes the equipment's attribute links.

[Blood Fiend Greatsword (Purple)]

Type: Greatsword

Durability: 45/45

Attack: 50

Equipment Requirements: Level 10, Strength 8, Constitution 10, Melee Weapon Mastery Level 5

Additional skills:

Blood Dance (Active) - When activated, consumes 5 health points per second, deals 10 points of Blood Fiend damage with each strike, and reduces the enemy's defense by 15 points.

Note: A left-handed greatsword that has fought alongside the Ghost General for many years.

"It's a purple-grade item; any one of those in the game store would sell for tens of thousands of reward points!"

"Such high attack power, and it can also weaken the enemy's defense. If I wear this greatsword, I can probably walk sideways among hundreds of players."
