Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

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, better hunt pollution sources, and 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 specific type of mining tool. They have no other rights."

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

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

However, once the ownership of the family territory is given to the player, it is equivalent to completely relinquishing control of the game. 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, and it has already made the players take out all the savings they've 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."

"Not much money? This is just the appetizer..."

Fang Yi sneered repeatedly, saying, "Since it's family territory, it's obviously a private place. How could it not have city 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 starting village cost 500,000 reward points. How much do you think they'd need to build the 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 sense, right?"

Afu questioned, "Can't the players refuse to upgrade the city walls?"

"Of course, Reincarnation Games is dedicated to creating joy 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 you don't build territory walls, a constant stream of polluted monsters will flood into the clan's territory and wreak havoc!"

"Can players really 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.

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 city walls must 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 drain this part of the resources, right? ...So the 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.

But... it just feels so strange.

Afu felt like his brain was about to break down, and he had the illusion that he had been brainwashed by unscrupulous businessmen.

"Finally, shouldn't we have a family hall, which symbolizes the family's reputation?"

"You have to spend money to research family skills, right?"

"The clan training ground can increase the experience points of clan members, so we can't not build it, right? If you don't build it, other clans will. If the clan's functions are insufficient, players will defect on the spot."

"Forge, tailor shop, materials processing workshop, blueprint study room... which of these things doesn't cost money?"

Afu nodded blankly, then shook his head, and asked, "Master, won't this make the players less motivated to play?"

Fang Yi spoke very directly, showing no mercy, saying, "A passive game?"

"You're not talking about the Hidden Leaf Village, which has already been destroyed, are you?"

Ah Fu suddenly remembered,

Konoha Village seemed to have been part of the passive-aggressive game before, and now the outcome is very bad.

If you lack resources, being a nobody and playing passively is fine.

However, if a large, resource-rich village like Konoha Village cannot seize the opportunity and convert all its resources into a driving force for progress, it will only be torn to shreds by the wolves.
