Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 326: Building a Nation Through Games?

The sheer volume of enhancement and forging, along with the endless stream of otherworldly shops, keeps players glued to their screens, leaving them with no energy for anything else.

How could they possibly give up a combat power system that could rapidly boost their strength?

Instead, they devote most of their energy to purifying the world and increasing their reputation?

"Of course, it's because of... power!"

Fang Yi smiled and waved his hand through the air in front of him.

A screen of light suddenly appeared.

The territories of various game factions are constantly changing within it.

"For example, family territory..."

Fang Yi's gaze fell on the territory of the Wuyin family, and he said, "The Reincarnation Game has broken the rules, allowing players to build houses, cultivate fields, and raise wild animals within their territories."

The crops planted in the fields are not ordinary crops.

Instead, they are herbs that emit a faint water-attribute aura, which can be used to make water-attribute potions.

The various wild beasts raised can also continuously produce low-level equipment, which can be distributed to civilians and ninjas in Kirigakure who have not yet become players.

Not just the Fog Concealment,

Most factions in the ninja world and among pirates have cultivated expensive professions to ensure logistical support.

"However, the family territory is too restrictive. Each expansion requires a lot of reward points, and it can only accommodate a few thousand or even tens of thousands of people at most."

Fang Yi laughed heartily and said, "So, what if we turned the clan into a village?"

"Townships, prefectures, or even the nation?"

"If players hunt pollution diligently enough, I can even let them create countries and truly rule a certain territory."

say nothing else,

The emergence of the clan system has changed the way battles are fought in the world of One Piece and the world of ninjas.

Whitebeard once destroyed an entire island with his bare hands, and Kaido destroyed a country with brute force.

Sasori's puppetry techniques also have a history of destroying nations.

And now,

Even Orochimaru, the strongest ninja in the world, would be badly wounded by the defensive weapons of the city walls if he tried to destroy a small force like Frost Village all by himself.

It came at a very high price.

Why were the concepts of nationhood in the ninja world and the pirate world once overlooked?

Fang Yi looked at the white-haired loli with a puzzled expression and laughed, "That's because even if you accumulate a lot of wealth, it can be easily plundered by people with military power."

Especially in the resource-rich world of One Piece,

No matter how wealthy a country is, it can be destroyed with just a flick of the finger from a top expert like Kaido.

Therefore, most powerful people treat their country with disdain.

Big Mom's country exists solely to satisfy her appetite and her desire for all races to live together in harmony.

"However, the towns and countries given by the Reincarnation Game are not the kind of fragile things."

The clan territory system has already given players a taste of success.

The various weapon manufacturing functions, breeding, animal husbandry, and other functions can completely save a lot of reward points.

A single family can support a small army of several hundred people.

Furthermore, unless someone intentionally commits suicide, an enemy would need to be at least as large as themselves to destroy a clan, rather than just any random person being able to wipe out the clan.

This gives them ample motivation for self-production.

"The right to rule a country means a continuous supply of soldiers, a large amount of constantly regenerating game resources, and manpower to produce and create assets for players..."

Fang Yi ruffled the white-haired loli's hair and asked, "Do you think the players will be interested?"

"My heart is fluttering!"

Not to mention the players, even Afu was very interested.

Fang Yi aims to disrupt most of the world's existing order.

Such a vast nation possesses immense resources, yet these assets and resources are squandered due to concerns and anxieties surrounding global consciousness.

Alabasta, for example, possesses a vast amount of primal energy, yet it cannot even produce a decent powerful individual.

They were easily manipulated by the sand crocodile.

In this case,

Then let the game of reincarnation provide a ladder to climb to the top for these wasted resources and blocked nations.

……

The group followed Uncle Jiu away from the cemetery and back to the mortuary on the edge of Renjia Town.

[Has entered the Taoist faction [Nine Uncle's Mortuary], Reputation Status: Normal]

Note: Under normal reputation, players are in a neutral state with this faction, with certain restrictions, but can engage in basic communication and accept regular quests.

Uncle Nine led everyone to the backyard and said, "Since your purpose is also to bury Old Master Ren, you can stay at the mortuary if you have nowhere to go."

"The Blood-Robed Taoist has already taken the coffin, so it's inevitable that Old Master Ren will become an evil corpse."

"However, at the extreme Yin time three days from now, the evil corpse will need to absorb the blood of its closest relatives to strengthen its power. It will definitely return to Ren Family Village and find the Ren Mansion. We just need to ambush them in advance to wipe out the blood-robed Taoist and the evil corpse in one fell swoop."

Hearing Uncle Nine's words, everyone felt a little more at ease.

Their main mission is to eliminate the evil corpses. If they fail to do so, they will be punished by the reincarnation game, losing various items, skills, equipment, and even their four-dimensional attributes.

The backyard was spacious, the house was clean, and all the doors were open.

As soon as Tanjiro entered one of the rooms, a prompt appeared before his eyes.

Whether or not you move into this building, 200 reward points will be deducted daily.

【Mortal Home】: Upon moving in, you will gain the [Purity Lv.1] status, and your cultivation speed for Taoist skills will increase by 1.

"So expensive."

Tanjiro, who came from a small town, couldn't bear to spend those reward points on lodging.

Only after the game indicated that breathing techniques were categorized as a branch of Taoist skills did he reluctantly choose a house.

Clare, Nohara Rin, and the others chose houses in the corners.

There are no status bonuses, only five reward points per day.

After a night's rest,

Tanjiro felt refreshed and invigorated. Even though he had just been sleeping, he had gained new insights into Water Breathing.

This feeling is like suddenly having an epiphany.

His gaze fell on the rightmost house, which required two thousand reward points daily and had the [Purity Lv.3] status bonus, so it would probably bring him greater gains in breathing techniques.

But it is indeed too expensive.

Tanjiro arrived at the front hall of the mortuary and saw a figure wiping a coffin. He stepped forward and greeted him, "Are you the disciple Uncle Nine mentioned? Thank you for taking me in. Is there anything I can do to help?"

【Qiusheng Lv.7 (Taoist Boy)】: Uncle Jiu's apprentice.

The handsome Akio, seeing the somewhat innocent-looking Tanjiro, rolled his eyes and said, "You are Master's guests, and I shouldn't be making you work, but since you offered, then help Master clean all these coffins."

As soon as he finished speaking,

A line of black text appeared.

[Side Quest Activated]: Help Qiu Sheng, who wants to slack off, clean the coffin of its yin energy.

Task Reward: 200 reward points, Qiu Sheng's favorability +5

"Then leave it to me!"

Tanjiro was practically a born workhorse; without a word, he took the whisk from Akio's hand.

They began wiping the dozens of coffins.

After a flurry of activity, the task was completed.

The players gathered together, discussing what had happened.

Gunia said, "I went to Renjia Town with Uncle Jiu and triggered a lot of side quests, all of which were about vengeful spirits and ghosts. After defeating them, I could get reward points."

She declined all offers to avoid any complications.

Nohara Rin smiled gently and said, "I also went to Renjia Town, but I went alone and didn't trigger the side quest that Kunia mentioned."

"It seems that certain conditions must be met before you can accept side quests."

After some thought, the group came to a general conclusion.

Reputation value.

As a highly respected figure who eliminates demons and protects the safety of Renjia Town, Uncle Nine naturally has a very high reputation. Therefore, Gunia, who follows Uncle Nine, can trigger side quests.

The players' reputation is too low, so some commissions simply won't be given to them.

"No wonder everyone's rushing into the mission world."

Kuina took a breath, her eyes resolute, and said, "It truly is a great place to quickly become stronger. Although it's fraught with danger, the rewards are extremely generous. I absolutely must become stronger!"

To become the strongest female swordsman.

We can't let Zoro, that lost little brother, look down on us!

Tanjiro scratched his head and said, "Everyone, I've made a new discovery too..."
