It was the fifth day since the Reincarnation Game had started.
Most players were still filled with enthusiasm, though a few had already begun to lose their minds.
This was especially true for the civilian players, who had initially been frightened. But once they realized they wouldn't die permanently—and that they could buy food and coins from the shop—their levels quickly caught up with those of the ninja players.
However, due to their lack of combat awareness, they often exchanged their lives just to kill a single monster.
Resurrection would also deduct reward points.
Lifeless artificial constructs had no concept of death. Like precisely engineered machines, their severed limbs could be reassembled, and even a decapitated head could be reshaped.
Thus, the cost for Fang Yi to repair these artificial constructs was negligible.
Upgrades were bound to the soul of the player, so even enhancing an artificial construct didn't require too many reward points.
On a bustling commercial street in the capital, a white-haired loli held a candied hawthorn skewer and a piece of fried chicken, her mouth greasy as she asked,"Resurrection costs money. Won't that discourage players from being active?"
With one hand in the paper bag, she subtly tightened her grip, but still failed to stop a piece of chicken from being snatched away.
Fang Yi took a bite of fried chicken, dipped in sauce, and replied,"You don't get it. Most players have already stepped over the threshold into professionalism. Even accounting for time spent in the game, they can still earn fifty reward points a day."
"And the ninja? They're even more outrageous. As professionals, they hunt pollution monsters daily and can earn hundreds of points."
He glanced at the last piece of chicken in the bag and added,"Resurrection costs are based on level. Each revival deducts five points. Is that really expensive?"
Reality, after all, was not the same as a game.
Eventually, players would have to confront the pollution sources in the real world.
Charging for resurrection prevented some players from abusing death to farm monsters, neglecting the development of their combat skills and abilities. At the same time, it provided an additional income stream.
The white-haired loli, quick and nimble, didn't use her hands this time—she dove her head straight into the bag and swallowed the last piece of chicken.
She nearly choked, thumped her flat chest a few times, then came back to her senses and asked,"But instant resurrection costs ten times as many points! Isn't that way too expensive?"
Fang Yi smirked,"I'm not forcing anyone to choose instant revival. Everyone can opt for standard resurrection and be sent back to the Beginner Village."
The white-haired loli bit into her candied hawthorn and asked curiously,"Then isn't instant resurrection kind of pointless?"
The two of them walked up to a lively booth, only to find it surrounded by a huge crowd. The white-haired loli craned her neck, trying to see what was going on inside.
But she was too short to see anything.
Seeing this, Fang Yi casually grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up so she could get a clear view of what was happening at the booth.
At the same time, he explained with a smile,"There are always special circumstances. Think about it: what if you're out in the wild and suddenly encounter a rare elite monster, and you die right at that moment—would you choose to revive in town?"
The white-haired loli thought about it for a second and instantly realized her master's devious intent.
Fang Yi gave a sinister grin."If you choose to revive in town, by the time you run all the way back, that elite monster might be long gone. Even worse, maybe you used up tons of health potions and expensive gear to get that monster down to a sliver of health. Would you really just give up and go back to town?"
"And the worst part? By the time you revive and get back, you find that some passerby has stolen your kill. Can you handle that kind of pain?"
"That's why I very considerately added the option for instant revival."
"I don't particularly care about points. What brings me real joy is running a business. Everything is voluntary on the player's part."
The white-haired loli thought to herself how lucky she was to be the consciousness of the world created by her master—rather than one of the players he was scheming against.
Otherwise, forget candied hawthorn and fried chicken—her underwear would probably end up swindled away too.
Amid the annoyed gazes of the crowd, Fang Yi moved confidently and calmly through the masses, squeezing his way to the center of the booth.
"I'll pick number nine!"A tall, curvy woman with long golden hair called out loudly.
On her smooth, fair forehead was a purple rhombus mark. Her rosy lips added to her charm.
"Congratulations! Inside jar number nine is a minotaur mud figure!"
In front of the booth owner was a table full of ceramic jars marked with numbers. The woman smashed open the jar she picked and inside was a finely crafted minotaur figurine.
She took a deep breath and slammed her fist onto the table. The sheer force nearly shattered it.
"Another minotaur? I want the grand prize!"
Beside her, a short-haired woman holding a small pig covered her face and tugged on her companion, saying,"Lady Tsunade, please stop gambling. If you spend all our money, we'll be sleeping on the streets."
Tsunade pouted, holding the minotaur figurine with clear dissatisfaction in her eyes."But I want the Bunny Girl Teemo plushie."
She had just reached out and pointed toward an inconspicuous jar in the corner.
Before she could even speak, Fang Yi had already taken it.
"Congratulations! You've won the grand prize—Bunny Girl Teemo plushie!"
The atmosphere became... awkward.
Tsunade turned around, her eyes fixed on the snow-white doll that Fang Yi was handing to the white-haired loli beside him.
As the prize was revealed, the crowd gradually began to disperse.
Tsunade clenched her teeth, glaring at the young man who had suddenly appeared and snatched her grand prize."Stop right there!"
"Me?" Fang Yi looked curiously at the fuming Tsunade.
He instantly recognized her. She was Tsunade, the Princess of the Hidden Leaf Village—one of the most famous kunoichi in the ninja world.
That's why he had rushed to buy that jar.
Because he knew that inside it was the prize Tsunade was chasing.
This lottery jar gimmick was one of Fang Yi's business ventures in the capital.
In the second year after crossing into the Ninja World, due to financial hardship, he wrote two novels based on League of Legends. In the entertainment-starved ninja world, they became bestsellers.
He then took the opportunity to sell plushie merchandise and even promised to buy back rare dolls at high prices, inflating the market value.
A limited-edition Bunny Girl Teemo plushie could fetch up to two million RMB on the open market.
Now Tsunade, who had bought most of the jars at the stall and was down to her last coins, could only watch helplessly as her two-million-yen prize was snatched away.
No wonder she was furious.
Tsunade gritted her teeth."I saw that jar first! You snatched it!"
"In that case, I'll just give it to you."
Fang Yi smiled indifferently. Seeing that the white-haired loli wasn't interested in the plushie, he tossed it over to Tsunade.
She felt its unexpected weight in her hands.
Tsunade's expression turned blank. She didn't know what to say.
Why wasn't this young man playing by the rules?
When the jar was snatched, she had only wanted to curse a bit to vent. But now that someone else had won the prize, of course she wouldn't try to take it back.
She had gambled so much—but she never expected someone would just hand her a two-million-dollar plushie?
Tsunade narrowed her eyes, unable to grasp the youth's intentions.
Who doesn't like a blonde, busty woman?
Fang Yi thought to himself.
Of course, that's just how ordinary people think. As the master of the Reincarnation Game, what he cared about more was Tsunade's potential.
To reach Kage-level strength, her combat instincts and soul strength made her a top-tier candidate for a player.
Meeting her was an unexpected stroke of luck.
While broad recruitment could quickly amass reward points and attract a large base of ordinary players…
A game designed to tackle high-difficulty dungeons and final bosses required elites. Razor-sharp, standout players—true experts—were indispensable.
And Tsunade, even before now, had the potential to be just that.
