Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 431 The Rascal Snake

Spiritual wine,

A type of liquor that can quickly restore energy, sold exclusively at Moonlight Tavern, considered one of the top-tier consumable medicines.

Because the ingredients are rare and the brewing process is complicated, the production volume is low.

Furthermore, each cup requires 20,000 reward points, which can be used as hard currency.

"The rules are simple: whoever selects the new player who can reach the top of the leaderboard is the winner."

Sosia laughed and said, "The loser must pay the winner ten times the amount of their bet as a reward."

In other words, there was only one winner from beginning to end.

Standings

During the initial trial, the leaderboard for players hunting pollutants will award points to new players based on the strength of the polluted monsters.

The most crucial one is...

The points awarded for hunting monsters are independent of the monster's level and will adapt to the new player's skill level.

Even a weak mortal can earn points by hunting monsters of similar strength to themselves.

For example, if that little dragon, formed from venomous soul, were to hunt the lowest-level monsters, it wouldn't earn any points.

This leaderboard,

It tests the potential and combat ability of new players; attacking each other is strictly prohibited.

Therefore, high-level players from all sides gather together, hoping to recruit their favorite new players.

and,

The key point about this betting system is that the stronger a player is, the higher the reward points they need to pay when placing a bet.

For example, the black-haired boy that Mei Terumi bets on isn't very strong, so she needs around 40,000 reward points.

Akainu spent a full 100,000 reward points betting on that venomous dragon.

"After all, while it's not absolute, the stronger a new player is, the higher their combat ability and potential will be."

If Akainu loses, he will have to pay the winner a million reward points.

That's what makes the Moonlight Tavern points leaderboard so interesting—one thought can lead to heaven, another to hell.

There have been several times,

An ordinary person, seemingly unremarkable, unleashes astonishing potential, surpassing the scores of special life forms that were already incredibly powerful upon entering the game.

This resulted in bettors losing everything.

Therefore, bettors are very cautious, and every decision is a high-stakes gamble.

"Being able to condense elemental souls would have made them an extremely powerful existence in the past."

Akainu, brimming with confidence, coldly laughed: "Those who fight their way to the top are the strongest beings. There are no weaklings. Even if you start from the same point, you can definitely surpass others and become the champion of the leaderboard."

Despite the high stakes, he remained completely calm.

This was a judgment made by the naval intelligence department after they learned about the Moonlight Tavern's points rankings.

The potential level is determined based on the performance of previous new players.

Generally speaking,

New players appearing in worlds like Teigumo, Claymore, and Demon Slayer are mostly relatively weak.

They have no special abilities and low four-dimensional attributes. Most of them are ordinary people who dare not even touch monsters. They are scared out of their wits by the monsters in the [Dungeon] world as soon as they appear.

Only a very small number of newcomers

Such as Teigu users, silver-eyed witches, demons disguised as humans, and demons and members of the Demon Slayer Corps from the Demon Slayer world.

These are slightly stronger. Although their four-dimensional attributes are not high, they have the same starting line and can adapt to the combat environment and grow quickly.

Whitebeard, for example, made a fortune.

A young man named Will was discovered in the world of Imperial Arms. He is an Imperial Arms user and possesses the armor-type Imperial Arm, [Noble Chariot].

I heard he was a very simple and honest young man who had just arrived in the capital from a port city.

If Whitebeard hadn't acted quickly and taken him in as his son, he might have already joined Esdeath's [Hunter] organization.

"Woohoo! I'm sure I won't lose, everyone just wait and see!"

Whitebeard looked at the newcomer he had chosen with great confidence.

have to say,

Whitebeard possessed immense personal charisma, allowing him to thrive in this multiverse environment and gather like-minded sons from all corners of the world.

After the Demon Slayer Corps agreed to join the Whitebeard Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates' power surged like never before, with several new players gaining significant potential.

This time, he bet on the newcomer.

He is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps who has just left [Demon Slayer Town], purchased a game invitation, and is participating in the rookie trials.

The older sister who was resurrected by Shinobu Kocho

Kanae Butterfly.

Akainu glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully, "Just because of the troll stench you reek of, old man!"

Elemental life form, or dragon form.

It's an absolutely overwhelming force; who can compete with it?

"Stop arguing, let's just watch the game quietly."

Sosia stopped the argument from erupting, feeling helpless.

These players are really like powder kegs that could ignite at any moment; it's not easy for them to get together.

Only Mr. Fang Yi could keep these guys in check, right?

hum.

Countless white lights lit up,

New players who knew the rules of the cycle of reincarnation were all enveloped in white beams of light, then disappeared and were teleported to various parts of the Tower of Death.

The seemingly numerous players, scattered across the vast first floor of the Tower of Death, appeared as insignificant as grains of sand.

"Such a magical place exists! Damn traitor, fat catfish and lobsters, two-faced turtles... and most damnably, bubbles!"

The little dragon formed from Venom's soul was first shocked and surprised, then delighted.

It's a rascal snake.

From an aquatic world, where there is an endless ocean everywhere, inhabited by all kinds of aquatic creatures.

The strongest being in that world was a true dragon, and the Rascal Snake was once the true dragon's subordinate.

The fall of the true dragon caused the sly snake's ambition to surge. It stole the dragon horns left behind by the true dragon, wanting to become the new true dragon and rule the entire aquatic world.

However, in the end, he was defeated by the stinky carp spirit who had collected all five dragon scales.

As death approached, she sensed the call of the cycle of reincarnation and agreed without hesitation.

The dragon's horns were destroyed, and the sea serpent's thousand-year-old venomous fangs were lost.

Even the snake's body, which had cultivated for a thousand years, was destroyed.

Fortunately, the lizard's soul survived and gained the ability to venom.

"Hunting corrupted monsters will drop reward points and in-game items?"

The rascal swayed its tail.

Even if its soul is damaged and it is difficult to form a concrete shape, it is still unwilling to give up its dream of becoming a true dragon.

On its serpentine, serpentine soul, a pair of dragon horns were forcibly assembled to serve a decorative purpose.

This has become the obsession with keeping the rascal alive.

"Wait for me, Bubble, I'm going to make the Spiny Ball Flower bloom all over the aquarium world."

The scoundrel gritted its teeth in hatred and moved forward.

All around, there was steaming magma, magma containing special energy. The scarlet light shone on the rascal, making it itch all over.

It is called the rascal snake because...

It was because after it stole the dragon's horn, it was cursed by the real dragon, and its whole body was covered with pustules like leeches, which were extremely itchy.

This curse runs deep into the marrow and the soul.

Even without a physical body, it can still be disturbed.

Click.

The black earth, crystallized by magma, shattered, and a black arm tore through the ground.
