Chapter 116 Should the family expand its territory?

Accompanied by a dazzling white light, the token slowly rose into the air.

Like a protective shield, a ring of white light enveloped the surrounding area, which was about the size of two football fields.

[Has the family territory been determined?]

Xiao Nan, who had activated the family token, could clearly feel that she could freely control the movement range of the area shrouded in white light.

It can be scaled up or down.

Expanding the territory is free, but it requires the same material as activating the Clan Token: Salina's Heart.

Each heart can expand the family territory by 20m x 20m.

Waiting time: 5 hours

"Give me all your silver hearts in exchange!"

After clearly understanding the effects of the silver material, Xiao Nan quickly reacted and shouted loudly to all the players of the Dawn faction.

At the same time, messages are published within the server.

[Paper Flower]: Buy [Salina's Heart] at a high price of 40,000 reward points, and sell it to players in the Scarlet Wasteland and the Dawn faction.

Within the server, most of the chat is random chatter about team play.

Suddenly, text flashing with an orange halo appeared, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

This is a hidden feature discovered by players.

Each message, worth 20 reward points, can only be posted as inconspicuous black text.

The 200 reward points for the shout can change the text color, making it dazzling and eye-catching, and it can float in the most conspicuous top position for half an hour.

However, most players are reluctant to spend 200 reward points to make a message unless there is a really important event. The message posters are mostly leaders of various factions.

For example, the Dawn faction's Paper Flower, a mysterious noble from the Land of Rain, demonstrates unfathomable wealth in both auctions and equipment purchases, and has managed to build a Dawn faction capable of rivaling the four great ninja villages.

"Are they buying silver materials at such a high price in an attempt to create a family business right now?"

Players inquired, but received no response.

The merchants, who spent most of their time in the ninja beginner village, were eagerly watching this newly released message.

Currently, a Silver Heart has a market price of 30,000 reward points, and can sell for up to 34,000 reward points.

Although silver hearts are produced in small quantities,

However, there are only four factions with family tokens, and the demand is not large. Merchants want to ask for exorbitant prices, while Kirigakure and Sunagakure are bargaining on the spot, and they are still engaged in a fierce price war.

At this time, the Dawn faction suddenly bought silver materials at high prices. Could it be that they were secretly colluding with the Merchant Alliance?

They want to inflate the price of silver materials and take advantage of the Black Mist Village and Sand Village to make a quick buck?

Many players share this sentiment and are closely watching what will happen next.

Hidden Mist Village

Mei Terumi frowned and asked the elderly man beside her, "Master, I sent people to the Land of Rain to investigate the Dawn Force. The intelligence they gathered said that the Dawn Force is a special organization that has suddenly emerged recently."

"I will not get involved in the ninja's battles."

"Some players in the Dawn faction possess strength comparable to that of a Jonin, but they take on low-level tasks such as breaking rocks, loosening soil, and digging canals, and they interact most with civilians."

Kirigakure also has missions that involve contact with civilians, all of which are D-rank missions, and most of them are assigned to Kirigakure genin.

This is the norm.

No ninja village would send high-level combatants like Jonin to farm and weed; it would be a complete waste of their talent.

"The Dawn Forces..."

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 Rinne Game appeared.

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.

He could 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 when making crucial decisions.

"The Land of Rain experiences heavy rain all year round, making the soil unsuitable for cultivation. Furthermore, it is 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 probably don't 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, unfolding an extremely detailed map, and said, "This is a game map of the Dead Soul Mountains, which 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 lava spirits 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 sharp eyes. She hurriedly said, "All players of the Mist Hidden Alliance, quickly contact your familiar solo players and buy 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.
