Chapter 47 The Influence of Soul Potential

Five days have passed since the news of the Hyuga main family boy's disappearance broke out. What started as a family case has escalated to the point of reaching the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi promised to send an ANBU unit to investigate.

However, with nobles from various countries all waiting in the village to watch the Chunin Exams, they were unable to launch any large-scale operations. A conclusion could not be reached until at least after the Chunin Exams were over.

period,

Fang Yi used up his reward points to recruit another two thousand players into the game.

Most of them are ordinary players with white and green potential, and only two players are worth paying attention to.

One is Yugito from Kumogakure, who has the Two-Tails sealed within her and possesses a purple-level soul potential.

There's also Xiangling, who possesses the Uzumaki bloodline. When she was summoned, she was in Kusagakure serving as a "power bank" (a device for replenishing energy), and she also has purple-level soul potential.

Fang Yi sighed, "It's not so obvious when players are low level, but later on, the stronger a player's soul potential, the higher their combat power at the same level. Most players, without the luck to defy fate, can only become cannon fodder."

The white-haired loli exclaimed in surprise, "Master, it seems the players are plotting something."

Fang Yi sat in the bumpy carriage, feeling very uncomfortable.

Consume five reward points to exchange for a special metal structure in the technological world, making the carriage move as smoothly as if it were on flat ground.

As a renowned philanthropic nobleman, he was invited to Konoha Village to observe the Chunin Exams.

To be idle is to be idle,

We happened to arrive at a place where ninjas were gathered, so we collected a bunch of reward points.

"The villains are the ones who use schemes and tricks; we are the partners of justice, we are just being resourceful."

Fang Yi flicked her head and glanced at the players gathered together.

Led by the two major alliances and the Rock Shadow Force, countless players gathered to discuss a plan to defeat the Ghost Mage Salina.

The first wave of ghost beasts has been completely wiped out.

The Ghost Knights, who followed closely behind, were stronger than the Ghost Beasts, but they were also constantly resurrected by the players and gradually worn down.

then,

The battle reached a stalemate.

The four ghost generals, leading their ghost legions, mobilized together, dividing their forces into four groups to surround the starting village, causing the players' forces to be scattered.

The city walls were also constantly being scratched by the ghostly legions, reducing their durability.

However, the players are stuck in the starting village and cannot go out to collect materials to repair the city walls. If this continues, the starting village may be breached.

"This cannot continue."

Mei Terumi said with a serious expression, "As you all know, after we leave the game, our game bodies will return to the houses in the starting village. Once the starting village is destroyed, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

The better the equipment and the higher the level of the player, the less they want the starting village to be destroyed.

Because Fang Yi released a new announcement.

[The ninja beginner village has been breached; all player rewards have been reset.]

The fact that Kirigakure has invested over 10 billion yen in the game is something Mei Terumi absolutely cannot tolerate.

The same applies to Kumogakure and Iwagakure; both have large sums of money flowing into the game. If all of it disappears, it will not only be an economic loss, but also a great blow to the prestige of the ninja villages.

"Bypass the ghost army and hunt the ghost mages directly!"

Mei Terumi glanced at the Cloud Village ninja and said, "I'm afraid of a repeat of the situation when we hunted the Ghost General. We, the Mist Village, contributed the most, but some people stole the credit."

The man in linen robes replied indifferently, "If Cloud Village doesn't intervene, I'm afraid Mist Village won't be able to kill Ghost General either, right?"

"Quiet down, let's focus on hunting ghost mages."

Huang Tu from Iwagakure tapped the table and said, "You should have noticed that the Samsara Game has a first-kill reward system."

"The equipment and reward points dropped after the first hunt of the Ghost General are very generous."

The ghost generals in the ruined castle were similar in strength to the commander-level ghosts currently appearing on the battlefield, but the former produced a much larger number of ghosts.

This is the first kill reward.

Granny Chiyo, a veteran powerhouse from Sunagakure and now a high-level advisor, nodded and said, "That's right. If we can be the first to kill a Lord-level Ghost Mage, the reward will be unprecedentedly generous."

Their Sand Village is severely lacking in funds, so there are relatively few players willing to join the Sand Village faction, and their levels are not high. If they fight alone, the probability of hunting a Ghost Mage is extremely low.

Therefore, cooperating with other forces is the best option.

Granny Chiyo may appear old, but unlike ordinary ninjas, she is skilled in poison and puppetry, and does not have high demands on her physical abilities, so she still maintains Kage-level combat power in reality.

After becoming a player, he relied on his keen combat intuition to make Sunagakure a place among the beginner villages.

Furthermore, thanks to the [Monster Siege] event, all Sand Village players upgraded their equipment, donned full blue sets, and saw their strength soar.

In contrast, the Konoha forces were left behind by the Sunagakure forces, becoming the weakest ninja village in the game.

"I agree."

A woman wearing paper flowers in her hair agreed to cooperate.

Even Mei Terumi, from Kirigakure, the most powerful village among the beginners, looked at the woman who spoke with apprehension.

Despite having been a player for a shorter time than anyone else present, she managed to reach a level of skill approaching that of Mei Terumi by spending a fortune on in-game purchases.

This is very rare.

Because reincarnation games have no shortage of paying players, especially those who are wealthy or powerful.

However, even after spending money, the nobles are not strong in combat, and this refers not only to their combat instincts and awareness.

Many high-spending players can only awaken the zero-tier [Mage Apprentice] and [Rogue] classes, and are unable to advance to stronger advanced classes.

"Is it luck or talent?"

A flicker of doubt crossed Mei Terumi's exquisite emerald eyes.

As players level up, the hidden mechanics of the cycle game are revealed.

Just like her,

After reaching level 10, a game prompt will appear indicating that you can change to the first-tier class of Fire Mage, [Explosive Mage]. If you want to change to other classes, you need to purchase a class change scroll from the store.

However, most players in the Fog Shadow Alliance do not receive a job change notification when they reach level 10 and can only purchase job change scrolls from the shop.

The failure rate is very high.

Even if you manage to successfully change jobs and reach [Tier 1], you will unlock four empty skill slots. To learn job skills, you will need to purchase different materials.

If you fail to comprehend the material, it will be wasted.

Mei Terumi easily mastered two skills in succession: [Exploding Fire] and [Exploding Chains].

Ordinary players, however, keep failing and need to try several times, or even dozens of times, to learn a low-quality skill.

"To cleanse yourself of inferior skills, you need to buy a Drop of Forgotten River Water and then learn it anew."

"The worst part is that to unlock the fifth or sixth skill slot, you have to buy materials and gamble on the probability..."

Mei Terumi felt like her head was going to explode.

Talented players will quickly become stronger because upgrading class skills in the skill bar does not require reward points; you only need to reach the required proficiency level.

But for ordinary players, this combo attack would cost more than anything in the entire ninja world, let alone Kirigakure.

later,

The gap between different players will become increasingly wider.

Pay-to-win players can barely keep up, using purple or even silver equipment to forcefully increase some of their enhancement attributes.

Most remaining players will be limited by their talents. Although their level is high enough, their various attributes will be far behind those of players with talents.

Just like those polluting monsters.

The Ghost General, also a level 15 commander-level monster, has far superior stats compared to the level 15 Ghost Soldier.

It's likely that soon, all factions will change their strategies when trying to win over players.

Cast a wide net, then identify talented players, nurture them, recruit them as elite players, and reward them handsomely.

Kirigakure absolutely cannot fall behind!
