The Sound Ninja Four looked at each other.
They didn't dare to get close enough to overhear their conversation,
but judging from Orochimaru's emotional fluctuations, even he didn't dare to overstep the bounds of etiquette with the young noble in front of them.
Naturally, they couldn't act recklessly, so they obediently helped Orochimaru into the carriage.
Ah Fu reminded, "Should we purchase protective covers?"
When a player's soul consciousness reaches the game world, their physical body in reality loses consciousness, falling into a coma or sleep.
This state is very dangerous and can easily lead to sneak attacks by those with ill intentions.
Although no players have died from such incidents yet, there are always safety concerns.
Fang Yi nodded in agreement, "That's right, protecting player safety is our top priority."
He added, "However, I'm not buying them; the players themselves are."
"Huh?"
Ah Fu thought she misheard and asked, "The players have to buy the protective covers?"
Fang Yi continued to nod, "That's right. Do you expect me to pay for them?"
Ah Fu said weakly, "Didn't you say that protecting player safety is our top priority?"
She meant for her master to provide protective covers for players to ensure the safety of their physical bodies while gaming.
She didn't expect her master to want the players to pay.
"Exactly!"
Fang Yi said, "So, I'm giving players the opportunity to purchase protective covers. The price will be fifty reward points per day."
Players willing to pay for protective covers clearly need protection, while those who find it too expensive and don't buy it likely don't need protection yet. Once they feel a sense of crisis, they will naturally purchase it themselves.
Very reasonable.
Ah Fu couldn't look her master in the eye at all. She estimated that even the Heart-Eaters in the hellish regions of the Contaminated World, who feast on human hearts, would steer clear of her master.
Because his heart was too dark, it had likely already gone moldy.
Fang Yi glanced at her sideways and asked, "Are you talking bad about me in your head?"
Ah Fu guiltily lowered her head and mumbled, "I just feel that the players might complain."
"Complain?"
Fang Yi sneered, "I'm doing this for their own good. Not only will they not complain, but they'll also thank the Game Merchant for his thoughtfulness."
Not buy?
Most of the time, players' soul consciousness is in their game bodies.
Nobles lock their doors and windows, living in fear, not even trusting their personal servants.
Mei Terumi and her group have trusted subordinates guarding them every time they log into the game, fearing assassination attempts by reckless assassins.
After all, the Hidden Mist Village's atmosphere prioritizes strength. The aftershocks of the Kaguya clan's rebellion and Zabuza's assassination attempt on the Mizukage have not yet subsided. Who knows how many people are still discontent with the village in the shadows?
Cloud Hidden, Iwagakure, and even the impregnable Konoha, players need to stay together and dispatch guardian ninja when logging into the game.
"The emergence of protective covers can completely guarantee players' life safety and also reduce the defensive pressure on the major ninja villages."
"Tell me, shouldn't they thank me?"
It sounded logical, but something felt off.
Ah Fu really wanted to refute her master, but her mind couldn't quite grasp it. After much thought, she genuinely felt it was a good thing for the players.
...
[Small Trial Activated]
Trial Content: Kill the fallen [Magic Stone Goblin].
Note: A low-level race from the magic world, they underwent collective corruption after being contaminated. Goblins capable of throwing magic stones are warriors among the Goblin tribe.
Black text appeared before Orochimaru's eyes, then gradually faded after he clearly saw it.
Orochimaru thought to himself, "Fallen Goblins? Aren't they Specters?"
It seemed the intelligence Kabuto provided was still not accurate enough, or rather, ordinary players simply couldn't delve into the depths of the Reincarnation Game.
At least, Fallen Goblins and the small trial grounds available for purchase in the game invitation were not within Kabuto's intelligence scope.
A deep, grey-black dense forest,
the vegetation seemed to be contaminated by some unknown energy, appearing menacing, like monsters wanting to devour people.
At the top of the light screen panel was the map of the trial ground.
There were five rooms in total, and Orochimaru's green arrow stood quietly in the center of the first room.
Red dots, symbolizing danger, rapidly approached from all sides.
[You can open your inventory and equip novice gear.]
A guiding prompt like this appeared.
Orochimaru followed the instructions and opened his inventory. In the first slot, there was a dry, hard wooden stick.
Behind the screen,
Fang Yi, observing Orochimaru's trial, clicked his tongue, "Orochimaru's luck seems pretty bad."
Players are all given random novice equipment, most of which are white-grade weapons.
Some lucky players can even get green-grade weapons.
White-grade weapons include cold weapons like short swords, long blades, and daggers, as well as firearms like automatic pistols and hand crossbows.
The lowest grade among them was the wooden stick in Orochimaru's hand.
It was not much different from one picked up casually by the roadside.
"No wonder he had such an illustrious military record but was robbed of the Hokage position by the inexperienced young Minato Namikaze."
"He researched forbidden knowledge, could have chosen anyone as a collaborator, but chose Shimura Danzo, the 'Darkness of the Shinobi,' and was completely sold out."
"He coveted the Sharingan, and because his soul was damaged, he was completely countered by Itachi, losing an arm."
"He finally managed to train Sasuke, who turned out to be a tough nut to crack, the reincarnation of Indra, who directly cut down the White Scaled Great Snake."
"Finally, he endured humiliation and ambushed himself in the cursed seal, waiting for an opportunity, but unexpectedly ran into Itachi, who possessed a sealing divine artifact, and didn't even have a chance to escape."
Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh.
They all said Sasuke was unlucky, but Orochimaru was no less so.
Ah Fu asked, puzzled, "Master, wouldn't it be cheaper to directly select Specters from the Dead Soul Mountain Range and throw them into the trial grounds? Why spend reward points to teleport Orochimaru to an unknown contaminated area?"
She knew her master's stingy nature, and logically, he shouldn't be making such a losing deal.
Fang Yi pinched her chubby cheek and said, "Did you forget what I said? We are here to hunt contamination sources and attack the Contaminated World, not to accumulate wealth."
"Accumulating wealth is just a means; ultimately, it's about nurturing players."
A rune emitting a brilliant golden light appeared, held in Fang Yi's hand.
Ah Fu's eyes widened, exclaiming, "Master, you created the [Rune of Fate]?"
"Yes."
Fang Yi nodded, smiling, "It cost me a full million reward points to barely gather enough essence to create the Rune of Fate."
Ah Fu simply couldn't believe it. Had her stingy master been possessed?
Bang.
Fang Yi bent his finger and flicked her forehead, saying, "Don't think too much; this is related to the game's upcoming update."
Rune of Fate.
It contains a rich aura of fate and can automatically capture scattered fate fragments. When players encounter certain special events, these fate fragments will be triggered, and they will receive guidance from fate.
That is the [Quest System].
