Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

The moment the duration was reset to zero, a red light appeared on the gacha interface, and the words "Swordsman" instantly changed to a new line of text, transforming into a brand new limited-time gacha pool.

[Naruto World Limited Gacha Pool]

[Duration: 23 hours and 59 minutes, February 29]

Upon seeing the changed limited-time gacha pool, Ron instantly stood up, his eyes widening, before breaking into an excited smile.

"Finally, you've appeared!"

After more than a year of waiting, a limited-time gacha pool featuring only one world has finally arrived, and it's the world he needs most.

Not only to supplement one's clay modeling magic, but also to gain more useful abilities, and these abilities, after being localized, can become many powerful magics!

[Currently a Naruto world-exclusive gacha pool. Would you like to make it a permanent feature?]

With a thought, Ron ultimately chose to permanently reside in that limited-time card pool!

Chapter 40 Out-of-Town Performance Mission

After Ron decided to turn the Naruto World Limited Gacha into a permanent gacha, a new notification appeared in the air in front of him.

[Permanent Resident Quest Now Available: During the limited-time gacha period, accumulate 1000 Popularity Points in towns other than Magnolia.]

[During the mission, the target limited-time gacha pool will not disappear. Once the target gacha pool becomes a permanent gacha pool, the limited-time gacha pool will be replaced by a new one.]

【Accumulated popularity points from other regions during the mission: 0】

After reading the prompt, Ron lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"Is the only requirement that I go to other places to build up my popularity?"

Ron had thought it would be a much more difficult task. If it was just a performance in another city, then it wouldn't be a problem. Maybe he could get everything together in a little time.

Moreover, his original intention was to accumulate popularity and then exhaust the Silencer ability in the Phantom God card pool, which would not hinder his improvement.

Since they need to go out, the town's theater troupes can't completely shut down. The popularity points they passively accumulate every day can add up to a considerable income.

"Fortunately, the script for Naruto was already written, so I can use it directly."

Ron walked to the bookshelf, took out the script for the Naruto production, and prepared to hand it over to Leqi and Uncle Weiss.

Although Leqi is young, she has been studying at the drama troupe recently, so there won't be any problem having her fill in for the storytelling.

Furthermore, her wood-shaping magic allows her to temporarily create several character puppets. Although the performance effect cannot compare to visual effects magic, the quality of the script is enough to retain many viewers.

Now all he asks is that the Pure White Theater Troupe can maintain normal operations and accumulate popularity points when he goes out.

After finishing reading the script, Ron noticed that the night outside the window was getting darker, and it was time to return to the theater troupe to prepare for the evening's performance.

"Tomorrow's performance is in their hands."

After making his decision, Ron changed back into his costume and headed toward the theater troupe's tent.

……

The next morning, in the Fairy Tail guild hall.

Ron appeared in the lobby again, dressed in brand new clothes. He had drawn a C-rank character card this morning, but he still equipped it.

Ron was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, with a black spiky wig over it, and red inverted triangles painted on both sides of his face. It was the outfit of Kiba Inuzuka from Naruto when he was a child.

This time, Ron took a liking to the C-level olfactory talent on his character card. He needed it to enhance his five senses. He happened to have one more sense of smell left, which he could use to fill the gap.

Currently, his five senses and reaction abilities have been enhanced to a certain extent, so if he encounters danger, he can react immediately.

Ron could clearly smell the strong smell of alcohol in the hall when he was at the door, and the smell became even stronger once he entered.

Everyone greeted Ron as usual, seemingly ignoring his outfit this time.

Over the past year, everyone has become so used to Ron's cosplays that they are now curious about what kind of eye-catching outfits he will wear.

Ron has already raised everyone's threshold; if it's not novel enough, they won't actively complain.

The lobby on the first floor was as noisy as ever. When Kana saw Ron come in, her eyes lit up and she waved to him.

"Hey, Ron, is the theater troupe not performing today?"

"There's a performance today as usual, but the plans have been changed recently."

Ron smiled amiably, offering no explanation, and instead ignoring Kana's questioning gaze, walked toward the quest bulletin board deep within the guild.

He raised his head, his eyes quickly scanning the densely packed task lists, looking for tasks he could take care of while he was away performing.

Then, his pupils focused on a mission sheet with a rather unusual location.

[Expulsion Commission: Drive away the pack of Icefield Wolves on the edge of the northern snowy region]

Location: Snow Mountain Icefield Township, Northern Taiwan

[Reward: 70000J]

Ron pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but smile slightly.

So, at this point in time, the only Fairy Tail members left are Cana and Laxus, which is a bit few.

If it were a perverted man who took off his clothes, I might be able to bring him back.

Fairy Tail's timeline has gotten a bit messed up; it still doesn't know what state that person is in now.

Ron tore off the order form, turned around and walked to the bar, handing the form to Makarov, who was sitting at the bar.

"President, I accept this commission."

Makarov picked up the order form, glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and gave Ron a curious look.

"Ron, isn't your Pure White Theatre Company performing these days?"

This town, Icemark, is near the snow-capped mountains in the north; it takes several days to get there.

Ron had already prepared his explanation and began to explain to Makarov.

"Recently, I've encountered a bottleneck in writing scripts for the drama troupe, and I feel like I need to go on a long trip to sort out my feelings."

I've realized I've spent most of my life in Magnolia, and I plan to use this commission to broaden my horizons, maybe do a performance in the north, gather some inspiration, and then come back.

Upon hearing this, Makarov felt that what Ron said made some sense, so he nodded.

"Going out to gain experience is indeed a good thing, but as I always say, when you encounter danger, survival comes first."

After saying that, Makarov handed the task back, tacitly accepting the task for Ron.

Kana, who was listening nearby, paused for a moment, then got off her chair and moved closer to Ron.

"Ron, when are you coming back?"

Does this mean the Pure White Theatre Company is suspending its performances?

Kana asked half of the question, then turned her face away, blushing, and added another sentence.

Ron turned around to comfort Kana.

"Don't worry, we recently switched to a new story. I've already handed over the script to Leqi and Weiss, and they'll be in charge from now on. The performances won't be suspended."

After hearing what Ron said, Kana nodded slightly and muttered:

"Alright then, remember to come back soon, and bring back some local specialties with you."

Ron agreed to Kana's request, then turned and left to go home and prepare.

Kana watched Ron's departing figure, a complex expression on her face.

When Kana heard that the Pure White Theatre Troupe was still performing, she should have looked happy.

But she still couldn't feel happy inside, and she didn't know why.

She tilted her head in confusion and turned back absentmindedly.

She didn't realize that she had sat down at an empty table on the other side.

In her daze, she was completely unaware that her tarot cards were still in their original seat.

Chapter 41 A fortunate encounter, a tragic end.

Back at his home, Ron packed warm clothes and enough dry food, then slung his heavy travel bag over his shoulder and opened his front door.

Before leaving town, Ron went to the tent to rehearse with Rachel and Weiss to prevent them from making mistakes.

After personally correcting some of the problems, he went straight to the Magnolia post station to prepare a carriage.

The journey to the north is long and the location of the mission is too remote to be taken by the magic train.

Ron's physical strength and magical power also need to be preserved, so renting a carriage is the best option.

After making his request and paying a deposit at the post station counter, Ron boarded the covered carriage and headed north on the road.

Tap tap~ Tap tap~

Ron sat in the wagon, listening to the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves outside the window. He leaned back on the soft cushions and summoned the Multiverse Item Warehouse.

He was planning his next move in his mind. In order to draw better Naruto world character cards as soon as possible, he would have to use some of the character cards he had stored in the Multiverse Items Vault.

He had previously used a level 1 card when equipping the Buggy character card, so he always kept some with special features, so he was always ready to use them.

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Castle

Ron couldn't help but laugh when he saw the character card with the exaggerated facial expressions on it.

For the next three days, the card draws will all depend on you, you gambling dog.

Over the next two days, Ron's carriage made frequent stops and starts.

At each small town they passed, the carriage would stop for a short rest, and Ron took the opportunity to improve his current role-playing skills. He completed his role card around the first day and gained the talent of the sense of smell.

The effect of equipping the character card within the castle on the second day after departure was immediately apparent.

Ron rubbed his hands together, watching the countdown to the card draw in the wagon, and opened the Multiverse Item Vault on the other side.

He needs to time the character card draws carefully for three days to ensure he can borrow enough points for the next three draws.

As soon as the card draw cooled down, he immediately drew the card the instant the [City Within] character card merged into his body!

Then came the gacha CG scene, illuminated by a bright red light.

After the red light faded, Ron looked at the A-rank character card floating in front of him with a red border and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

Card Name: Minato Namikaze

[World: Naruto]

[Character Ability Level: A]

[Ability 1: Flash Throw (D)]

[Effect: Grants a wide range of throwing techniques, allowing for subtle changes in trajectory and attacks from blind spots, while also increasing throwing accuracy]

[Ability 2: Magic Bullet Magic - Rasengan (B)]

[Effect: Gathers high-density magic in the palm of the hand, and spins and compresses it at ultra-high speed to form a destructive magic sphere.]

[Ability 3: Swift Reflexes (B)]

[Effect: Grants superior dynamic vision and nerve reaction speed, enhances basic physical reflexes, and enables the user to clearly seize opportunities in chaotic combat situations.]

[Ability 4: Spatial Magic - Flying Thunder God (A)]

[Effect: Can imprint a unique Flying Thunder God magic mark on a target location, weapon, or person, allowing the user to instantly teleport to the location of the mark, regardless of distance or spatial obstacles.]

[Ability 5: Sealing Magic - Corpse Demon Sealing (S)]

[Effect: A one-time active sealing skill that can forcibly seal magical life forms into a specially made container or abdomen, regardless of the difference in power level. Due to the reduced side effects of death and the cost of use, this ability can only be activated once.]

Sure enough, we still have to rely on the gambling dog's tricks!

After scanning the five abilities, Ron finally decided to choose the fourth ability, which is the Flying Thunder God Technique, the most famous of the Fourth Hokage!

The others were ruled out.

First, there's his first ability. Although it's only D-rank, when combined with his clay bombs, it definitely increases his bomb-throwing accuracy. Moreover, this trajectory change is also crucial; it's one of the Fourth Hokage's specialties.

However, compared to the Flying Thunder God Technique, this D-rank ability is still far inferior.

Then there's his second ability, a localized version of the Rasengan, which is also a very powerful magic and compensates for his lack of destructive power in close combat. However, Ron doesn't plan to compensate for his close combat abilities in the near future.
