Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

They discovered another tactic employed by their opponents: to casually transform the entire world into a game map for players to hunt.

Tsunade sighed, "It is precisely at times like these that one feels most insignificant."

Despite possessing abilities far exceeding those of the past, they still cannot comprehend the methods of the game merchants.

"Therefore, as a reward for saving the world, the natives of the Arad continent will take on the task of guiding the players."

Lorian explained the reason for her existence, saying, "It's like the way to the Sky Sea. If I hadn't told you about the [Sky Sea Key], you would be running around like headless flies. Even if you were lucky enough to find one, you would have wasted it."

"Like the original inhabitants of the town, they possess various abilities such as forging, strengthening, and trading, all to allow players to grow better and hunt for pollution."

They are able to issue tasks.

The game collects materials hunted by players or allows them to purify polluted nodes, but these are all transit points; ultimately, the reward points will flow into the cycle of reincarnation.

This is all to make the game run more smoothly.

To prevent players from wasting time on unnecessary things.

Sakazuki asked impatiently, "So, you can give the Navy the [Sky Sea Key] so we can enter Sky City?"

"Yes."

Lorian nodded and said, "I can gather three keys every week, which can allow three groups of players to challenge the [Dragon Tower], with no more than five players at a time."

"To obtain the key, you must first complete the task I have assigned you."

A string of black text appeared, clearly visible to everyone present.

【Hunting Commander-level monsters within the area covered by the Skysea (0/10)】: A quest issued by Lorian. Completing it will reward you with the [Skysea Key], which allows you to enter the Dragon Tower.

Naruto scratched his head, surprised that it was so troublesome. He asked, "Can't we just go into the Sky Sea without a key?"

A commander-level monster, and a hunt of ten of them.

"If it were the Gran Forest, it would be easier to deal with. Those Minotaur Beasts and Venomous Cat Kings, although they have terrifyingly powerful Commander-level skills, are not high-level overall; they are all Tier 1 monsters."

Jiraiya also felt a headache coming on.

However, the monsters in the area shrouded by the Sky Sea are not simple at all.

Nourished by the polluted sky and sea energy, their life levels have broken through, and they are all genuine second-tier monsters.

Even an ordinary blue winged dragon possesses strength comparable to a Kage-level ninja.

Not to mention the [Commander-level] monsters, which are second only to lords.

Even one of them requires top-tier players to put in a lot of effort, let alone ten.

"If you don't even have the ability to hunt ten commander-level monsters, I suggest that you continue to train. Even if you go into the Sky Sea, you'll just be throwing your life away."

Lorian spoke bluntly and without any tact.

Leaving aside the top-floor [City Lord's Palace] and [Floating City],

Even in the lowest-level Dragon Tower, the thoroughly corrupted Dragon Chieftain [Lucas] is capable of easily annihilating a Tier 1 player.

"Very good, a battle has been avoided."

The unexpected situation swept away the tense atmosphere. Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Tsunade, who was wearing armor, and said, "In that case, let's see who can hunt down the commander-level monster faster and get the key to the Sky Sea."

The navy also did not want to suffer unnecessary losses.

Although they have a large and powerful family, they have many enemies in the pirate world. Countless pirates and revolutionaries are eyeing them covetously, and the World Government has ill intentions.

Nearly ten thousand naval players are eagerly awaiting rewards, and military pay has long been converted into reward points.

Therefore, the Navy Headquarters has always been short of assets and reward points, and urgently needs game dungeons like Dragon Tower to recover its resources.

"let's go."

Tsunade did not continue the standoff with the Navy.

Only a few ninjas were dispatched to stay by Lorian's stone tablet, while the rest of the ninjas began to scatter and search for the lair of the commander-level monsters.

The Navy, too,

The three admirals and players with top-tier combat power all went out to search for the hiding place of the commander-level monsters, while the remaining naval forces with slightly weaker strength stayed behind.

Nami tugged at the ears of her straw hat and urged, "Luffy, let's go hunt a leader-level monster too!"

A second-tier monster after its life stage transformation.

Using a Tier 1 skill on a monster is like trying to stab a thick-skinned wild boar with a wooden fork; the fork breaks easily, and the damage to the wild boar is negligible.

no way,

The difference between the life essence of first-order and second-order beings is like that between plastic and steel.

Unless one can also break through to the second tier and replace the wooden fork with an iron fork, those tough-skinned monsters will no longer be a problem.

"To break free from the shackles and advance to the second tier, you need to complete a main quest."

Zoro took a deep breath.

After stepping into the Sky Sea area, while hunting those second-tier monsters, I always felt that my sword energy was as powerless as cotton when it hit them.

Although it is possible to kill them, it is extremely difficult.

He definitely wants to break through to the second tier.

When I first entered the Arad map, a new quest appeared in my quest log.

【Life Metamorphosis (World-Class)】: Collect materials to build a [Second-Tier Metamorphosis Device]. Upon successful completion, the life form can be transformed into a second-tier life form.

The materials are difficult to obtain, requiring the remains of commander-level monsters, as well as ores and herbs that can only be found deep within dangerous areas.

The most difficult part is that the [Second-Tier Metamorphosis Device] is a building and needs to be built within the player's private territory.

It cannot be located in public areas of towns and cities.

That's why.

Until now, due to the constant fighting among themselves, no one has completed the task of [building family territory] and therefore cannot build the metamorphosis device.

"Nami, with the Marines and Konoha ninjas around, we simply can't outmaneuver them."

After Zoro expressed his thoughts,

Robin nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "That's right. We probably can't steal the key, so we might as well collect the materials first to complete the transformation mission."

Even the strongest top players are only at Tier 1.

If the Straw Hat Pirates could have a Tier 2 player, even if their four-dimensional attributes and skills were not as strong as the opponent's, they would still be able to gain an advantage in battle due to their overwhelming life level.

"Alright, let's go collect the resources for the metamorphosis device, and then build up the family territory!"

Luffy readily nodded in agreement.

He craves adventure, and he doesn't care about the outcome, as long as the process is fun.

Robin, as one of the few bright members of the Straw Hat Pirates, came up with this idea precisely because she was seizing the current opportunity.

Players in the One Piece world have just landed in the New World; the number is small.

The Navy is preoccupied with the Konoha ninjas and is temporarily unable to attend to the activities of these pirate players.

The players in the ninja world didn't even notice them.

This is the perfect time to sneak around and steal chickens!

Chapter 285 The Navy and Ninjas Ambushed, Orochimaru is the Culprit?

at this time,

Within the dangerous area shrouded by the Sky Sea, both the Marine Headquarters and the Konoha ninja are frantically searching for a Commander-level monster.

A monster's lair turned upside down.

Protected by countless magical armors, [Bomb Kage] is frantically hurling powerful bombs.

Rumble.

The continuous explosions directly shattered the orderly naval formation.

"hateful!"

Kuzan stared at the wounded navy soldier, his jaw clenched.

Holding a magical ice bow that exuded a chilling aura, he continuously fired icy arrows.

The magical armor called [The Exterminator] was shattered by countless icy arrows.

Even with only steel handguards remaining, the mangled body, gripping the heavy iron axe, launched a final attack on the naval soldiers.

Bomb Kage isn't strong.

These exterminator legions are the real troublemakers.

"Ice Dragon Whirlwind Dance!"

Kuzan took a deep breath and stretched out his hands.

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and a layer of white frost visibly condensed, followed by two ice whirlwinds that shot into the sky.

The giant ice pillar rotated, and tiny ice blades constantly cut through the air, producing a sharp, crackling sound.

They resembled two giant white dragons dancing.

The entire Exterminator Legion was devoured by the white dragon. Their armor, imbued with a rich magical aura, was cruelly torn apart by the ice blades and shredded into thumb-sized ice shards.

"Now!"

Unable to move, Kuzan, who was controlling the white dragon, shouted at the two vice admirals who were with him.

There's no need to say more.

Those who can become vice admirals in the navy have extremely sharp combat awareness. Before Kuzan could finish speaking, he had already rushed forward.

boom.

The scene of Bomb Kage being beheaded, which I had imagined, did not occur.

On the contrary, the two vice admirals were pierced through the chest by a white bone spear before they could even get close to the commander-level monster.
