Chapter 88: Performance Fee—Twenty Million
Aside from the good stuff from the Naruto world, Li Jiexuan even discovered something he had been longing for day and night—a Gundam…
So this must be what "ability items from other worlds" meant!
First-Generation Gundam: 1 billion points.
Not expensive, not expensive—after all, this thing is meant for interstellar warfare…
Li Jiexuan comforted himself: anyway, whether it's one billion or one hundred million, I still can't afford it either way…
"How do I obtain points?"
Even though it was extremely expensive, Li Jiexuan didn't give up!
After all, compared to loot boxes whose contents he couldn't control at all, this kind of clearly priced purchase was obviously much more reliable… right?
"You can obtain points by completing system tasks and unlocking achievements."
The system kindly announced: "You have completed two normal achievements and one epic achievement, for a total of 1,200 points."
"Very good. Give me tasks!"
Flames burned fiercely in Li Jiexuan's eyes: Rinnegan, Sage power, Gundam—I'm coming!
"Please complete all test missions before accepting tasks!"
"I still have unfinished missions?"
Li Jiexuan widened his eyes in confusion. After rummaging around for a while, he finally discovered that it was that earlier mission to earn ten million ryō that he still hadn't completed. Who would've thought that now, strong as a Kage-level ninja, he'd actually be stumped by ten million ryō…
At that moment, the system gently reminded him: "Given your current physical condition, a life potion can fully restore your body…"
At the cost of one Kage-level treasure chest, the upgraded system really had become much more proactive and friendly!
The gorgeous red potion gently swirled inside the glass bottle. Li Jiexuan downed it in one gulp.
A vast surge of energy slammed into his body. Under the potion's stimulation, every nerve throughout his body began to regenerate, and even some old hidden injuries left behind from past battles were completely healed. In just an instant, it was as if he had been reborn!
Power surged out from within his body!
The system's potions were still as overpowered as ever. Li Jiexuan felt that his condition had never been better, and he could hardly wait to go complete his mission…
But before he could even get out of bed, Tsunade and Senju Tobirama pushed the door open and walked in!
"Jiexuan-kun!"
Like a swallow returning to its nest, Tsunade burrowed straight into Li Jiexuan's bed and hugged him tightly.
The corner of Senju Tobirama's eye twitched, but in the end he forcibly held his tongue…
He's a vegetable, I'll endure it!
However, the bald-headed hospital director standing nearby could see right through Tobirama's thoughts. Smiling, he shook his head at Tsunade. "Princess Tsunade, pressing on Little Li like that isn't good for his recovery."
Hearing this, Tsunade decisively burrowed underneath Li Jiexuan instead. "Then let him press on me! I don't want to be separated from him for even a second!"
Now the position became even more disastrous!
Senju Tobirama's teeth were practically grinding themselves to dust: he's a vegetable, a vegetable…
Seeing that his good intentions had backfired, the bald-headed director hurried to patch things up. "Princess Tsunade, it's no use. He's a vegetable now—he can't feel your presence!"
"How could that be?"
Tsunade hugged Li Jiexuan in confusion. "I can feel his heartbeat. Why can't he feel me?"
Seeing this, the director smiled and nodded toward Li Jiexuan. "Well? Little Li, can you feel Princess Tsunade's body temperature?"
More than just her temperature—her smooth, tender skin, her soft fullness, and that uniquely sweet, milky scent belonging to an adorable young girl.
Li Jiexuan really wanted to say that he could feel everything clearly…
However, glancing at the murderous-looking Senju Tobirama nearby, Li Jiexuan decided to obediently keep his mouth shut…
"Heh heh, Little Li can't speak, but I can run a test to find out!"
The bald-headed director chuckled as he lifted Li Jiexuan's blanket and located his knee. "For a normal person, tapping here causes a knee-jerk reflex, but for a vegetable like him…"
As he spoke, the director raised his fist and lightly tapped down.
"Bang!"
A lightning-fast kick sent the smiling director flying violently across the room…
"This was just an accident—there might still be a tiny bit of nerve activity left!"
After quite a while, the director crawled back up while clutching his face, then found Li Jiexuan's other leg and gave it another gentle tap.
"Bang"…
This time, the director was launched straight out the window, crashing onto the lawn below.
After another long while, the director limped back upstairs with a cane, forcing out an awkward dry laugh. "This… this was also an accident…"
With strength like that, was it really something a vegetable could produce?
If he hadn't personally delivered the heavily injured Li Jiexuan here himself, Senju Tobirama would've suspected that the kid hadn't been injured at all—that this was nothing but a scheme to gain fame!
But the moment that thought appeared, Tobirama immediately began to reflect on himself: no, I can't keep holding prejudice against Li Jiexuan.
It was precisely this prejudice of mine that harmed him. I… am ashamed!
"Director, take good care of him. Whatever you need, just ask!"
Senju Tobirama couldn't stay any longer. He felt ashamed of himself for still not fully trusting Li Jiexuan. Arrogance and prejudice should never exist in a Hokage!
Tobirama left—but strangely enough, the usually sycophantic bald-headed director didn't follow him out this time…
"So you've already noticed?"
Li Jiexuan smiled and nodded at Tsunade. "Tsunade, go outside and see your second great-uncle off…"
Tsunade no longer had even a trace of her former willful-princess temper. At a single word from Li Jiexuan, she nodded affectionately and left the room.
The moment Tsunade stepped out of the ward, the bald-headed director rushed over impatiently.
He threw off the blanket and hugged Li Jiexuan's thigh, giving it an enthusiastic rub. Pale blue chakra flowed across Li Jiexuan's leg, as if probing something…
After a long while, the director finally let go and let out a deep sigh. "It's all over…"
"You know I've already fully recovered?" Li Jiexuan stood up with a grin, looking at the ashen-faced director teasingly. "What's wrong? The patient's better, and that's the face you're making?"
Hearing this, the director forced out a smile uglier than crying. "Your illness is cured, but now we medical ninja are going to have to tighten our belts again! That thirty million research budget we just applied for hasn't even been approved yet!"
Two hot tears slid down the corners of the director's eyes…
You ask why my eyes are full of tears? Because I love money with all my heart!
"Who said that money is gone?"
Li Jiexuan wore a teasing smile.
Hearing this, the director's eyes flew wide open in excitement. "You're willing to keep pretending to be a patient?"
"No!"
The director's face flickered like a traffic light, switching colors nonstop.
"But I am willing to put on a performance!"
Li Jiexuan smiled and held up two fingers. "Performance fee—twenty million!"
