Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 305 The Strongest Player on the Game Rankings

this time,

The update includes a great deal of content and brings about significant changes.

Players from all sides understand that such a massive update will inevitably lead to a major reshuffling.

"Master, after the version update, our game rewards will be lower."

Afu looked puzzled.

Especially deleting [random keys],

Players who keep spending money in order to randomly obtain a large number of compatible items will lose a major source of in-game purchases.

"You're too easily swayed."

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "Second-tier items are not something that can be purchased with real money."

First-tier items contain very low levels of inherent energy.

Players can purchase items from game merchants by spending real money, at a price slightly higher than the original item price, and everyone gets what they want.

All are happy.

However, the source contained within a second-tier item is extremely vast.

Let alone ordinary players, even the Celestial Dragons, who control most of the assets in the One Piece world, would have to go bankrupt to exchange for it.

For forces like Whitebeard and Shanks, or those in the Hidden Mist and Hidden Cloud ninja worlds, a single valuable Tier 2 item can cripple them.

Therefore,

Even if Fang Yi puts second-tier items on the game shop, they are still unattainable items for them.

To drain the pond to catch all the fish is always the worst approach.

The goal of amassing wealth on a large scale

It is to eliminate the polluted monsters.

Fang Yi now possesses most of the resources of two worlds, enough to reach out and save those consumed by pollution.

Or a world that is about to be swallowed up.

The game room will provide players with the most basic equipment and abilities.

The Arad map will provide players with assets to purchase these game abilities.

To break through to the second tier and become stronger, one needs to devote all their energy to eliminating the polluted monsters.

The goal is to gradually reveal their true identities to the players.

A hero who saves all the worlds.

Afu nodded, seemingly understanding, and asked, "So, Master, that's why you issued the counterattack mission?"

"That's right."

Fang Yi smiled and said, "The leaderboard, arena, and killing system are all means to promote healthy competition and avoid the vicious cycle of locking each other's strengthening paths, like the ninjas did before."

"They're all just supporting characters to highlight the [Counterattack Mission] system."

As I said before,

Even Naruto Uzumaki and Luffy Straw Hat, these chosen ones favored by fate, can at most break through to the second tier by relying on the world's favor.

Including parasites like the Celestial Dragons,

It was forcibly transformed by the accumulation of massive assets.

then,

Next, all players will need to confront the source of the pollution.

Better equipment, more powerful game skills, and a wide variety of items and tools can only be obtained through counter-attack missions.

After all, what Fang Yi needs are combatants who can actually fight against pollution sources.

Instead of a pay-to-win sow with no combat power.

Some players who lack willpower will be eliminated in the new version, becoming weaklings who can only roam low-level maps.

Naval Headquarters

The Warring States Marshal sat in the center, flanked by the four admirals of the navy, followed by the high-ranking officers of the headquarters.

"Orochimaru, ranked number one on the power level list?"

Unfold the panel for the cycle of reincarnation game.

Sengoku's gaze was serious as he stared intently at the top of the power rankings—the name of the ninja who had killed Akainu earlier.

Power Ranking

It reflects the player's overall combat strength; more precisely, it is the sum of the scores of all skills, equipment, and items.

After the update, each game item will have a combat power rating as a suffix.

The higher the level of equipment, the greater the combat power.

Therefore,

Orochimaru, who is at the top of the power rankings, means that all his skills, items, and equipment are the most expensive and advanced among all players.

Although advanced skills and equipment do not fully represent strength,

Just like the Celestial Dragons, who were considered useless, after the formation of the God Race, Marinejoar was constantly targeted by pirates and ambitious individuals who secretly attacked it.

Some Celestial Dragons who are usually lazy, even if they are equipped with purple gear, are defeated by pirates wearing low-level gear several times in battle.

but,

This is a special situation in the world of One Piece. Under normal circumstances, the stronger the combat power, the stronger the strength.

"So that's how it is. Orochimaru's combat power is actually the highest among the players. No wonder I lost to him."

After Sakazuki was resurrected, his face remained gloomy.

It wasn't until they saw the top spot on the power rankings that their spirits lifted slightly, and they regained some face.

The Warring States Marshal took a deep breath and displayed the full power rankings.

[Power Ranking]

First place: Orochimaru (Ninja World): 1000 combat power

Second place [One Piece World] Im: 960 combat power

Third place: Mei Terumi (Ninja World): 910 combat power

Fourth place [One Piece World] Monkey D. Dragon: 900 combat points

20th Place [Ninja World] Samui: 700 combat points

Note: The ranking on the combat power leaderboard is based on a comprehensive score of equipment, skills, and items, and does not represent actual strength.

After looking at the power rankings,

Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed deeply and said, "There are thirteen people in the ninja world who have made it onto the power rankings, but only seven in the pirate world."

The divine race Im needs no further explanation.

Without making a sound or releasing any information, he has somehow managed to closely follow the strongest player and become the most powerful fighter in the One Piece world.

It is likely that they are relying on the assets accumulated by the Celestial Dragons over eight hundred years.

This is something no one can envy.

Then there's the Marine Headquarters' archenemy, Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

As one of the earliest players in the One Piece world to become a player, and someone who believed in the cycle of reincarnation and placed a heavy bet early on, it's not surprising that his strength ranks among the top.

Then came the white beard.

The Whitebeard Pirates, ranked seventeenth on the power list, possess the power of the Crimson Trolls and have been causing trouble on the Arad continent. With logistical support from the New World of One Piece, they barely made it onto the list.

The most awkward thing is,

The Navy, which claims to uphold justice in the pirate world, has no one on the power rankings.

Previously, there was no power ranking, so there was no definitive conclusion about who was stronger or weaker.

Unless we can have a real fight.

And now,

The gleaming power rankings were laid out before everyone's eyes; the Marine Headquarters, whose mission was always to patrol the four seas,

Not only are they inferior to the Five Elders, who have deep roots like Im, but they are even less capable than pirates and the Revolutionary Army.

The Warring States marshal's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The atmosphere in the conference room was eerily silent.

In the tense atmosphere, Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up, asking, "Smoker, what is your combat strength?"

Smoker the Poison Dragon.

They should be considered the strongest fighting force in the Navy Headquarters at present, and even slightly stronger than the original three admirals.

Upon hearing this, Smoker sighed and said, "Six hundred and seventy points of combat power."

Vice Admiral Tsuru turned and asked, "Where are Kuzan, Akainu, and Kizaru?"

"Six hundred and thirty points."

"Six hundred and twenty points."

"I only have 600 points. These three generals are really terrifying."

Kizaru was the lowest, while the rest were mostly above the 600-point combat power level.

Lieutenant General Tsuru calmly analyzed, "There's no need to place too much importance on the rankings on the combat power list."

"Even the strongest player, Orochimaru, cannot withstand the combined attack of several players; this has been proven in actual combat."

When we challenged the dragon chieftain before,

After his defeat, Orochimaru was surrounded and captured by multiple players, and could only flee in a sorry state.

Given the circumstances, if Akainu had Kuzan's help, Orochimaru wouldn't have had a chance to escape, let alone fight back.

"Therefore, when the difference in combat strength is not significant, we still need to consider strategy and tactics."

Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke words to reassure the troops: "Judging from the current situation, although the Navy is not on the list, we are the strongest force in terms of overall strength."

This is both a measure to stabilize morale and a fact.

The situation in the ninja world is still unclear.

However, in the world of One Piece, even the Revolutionary Army and Whitebeard, who are ranked high on the power rankings, are still suppressed by the Navy.

Reincarnation games are not a game for lone wolves.

The Navy Headquarters has five highly skilled fighters with a combat power exceeding 600, as well as a double-digit number of high-ranking officers with a combat power of 500.

Even a large number of people could overwhelm Orochimaru, the strongest warrior in the game.

Even so.

The Warring States Marshal sighed and said, "Justice needs a banner. Justice that cannot be seen is easily smeared by those evil people and ambitious individuals."

A large player group like the Navy Headquarters,

Only when a player can make it onto the leaderboard to prove the Navy's strength will a steady stream of players with a sense of justice flock to join.

Justice must never be tarnished.

"That's right."

Vice Admiral Tsuru did not deny Fleet Admiral Sengoku's words, because the navy did indeed need a benchmark.

She thought for a moment and said, "The naval competition will be held in five days. Any naval officer can participate. Whoever wins first place will receive preferential resources from the Navy Headquarters for training. What do you think?"

"Can."

"Agreed."

I second that.

None of the naval commanders objected; they all looked tacitly at the leaders of their respective camps.

The focus was on the five figures.

The four admirals of the Navy, as well as the hero Garp who still clings to the title of vice admiral, are all truly top players in the Navy right now.

"Where's Garp?"

As the meeting was drawing to a close, the Warring States Marshal belatedly realized that he had not seen his old friend.

Beside him, a naval officer reported: "Report, Vice Admiral Garp said he is overseeing the construction of the Life Transformation Device and does not have time to attend the meeting."

"That damn guy, he's clearly slacking off again!"

The veins on the forehead of the Warring States marshal bulged.

That's the work of the Navy's logistics department. Does it have anything to do with you, Iron Fist Garp?

the other side,

As the vice president of the Adventurers' Guild, Hawkeye stared intently at the equipment rankings before him.

He fell into deep thought.
