Increasing Strength
Merlin's Wizard Tower.
Everyone rushed back after receiving the notification. Looking at her team and the outside helper Tony, Charlotte said, "We have determined the location of the initial invasion of the Hell Dimension. In a moment, everyone will go with the Magic Corps to set up defenses. We can prepare some traps on site in advance."
"Professor Balthazar, please take everyone to the battlefield to prepare. I need to activate the Magic Tower."
Without Charlotte's authorization, the archmages of Merlin Knights could not invoke the power of the Magic Tower, nor could they build a permanently effective magic circle. Otherwise, relying solely on their own power, the magic circle could only play a temporary role.
Looking at the group of people wearing Headband in front of him, Balthazar knew they were not weak, so he said directly, "Everyone, follow me. I'll lead you to the battlefield."
The ninjas followed Balthazar, but Tony didn't go with them. Instead, he went to Charlotte and took a box from his pocket.
"Here are the things you wanted, but due to time constraints, aside from the ones I need, only these ten are available."
"I didn't expect war to break out here so soon, otherwise we could have created even more."
Looking at what Tony was holding, Charlotte knew it was an isotope of the Space Stone, and her heart was filled with anticipation.
"How much?"
Tony felt somewhat helpless when Charlotte mentioned money. He wasn't planning on selling this stuff, and he had already told Charlotte the cost price. It wouldn't make sense to charge too much, and he wouldn't mind charging less.
"The cost price is 30 million each, but I have conditions."
"After this, you'll have to send Pakkun to protect me for a while."
Upon hearing Tony's request, Charlotte knew that Tony wanted to play with the dog again, so she didn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll let you take it back and play for a month."
Charlotte took the box from Tony and held it in her hands before asking:
"Have you named the New Element yet?"
"BADASSIUM" (Badassium)
Hearing the name Tony came up with, he was speechless, as it reminded him of another person who was terrible at naming things— Minato Namikaze, whose talent for naming was just as amazing.
"This name is very distinctive."
Tony laughed, "Haha, I think so too."
"By the way, aren't you a ninja?"
"I heard from Dave that you're a Mage, or even a Sorcerer Supreme, and that you have a very high status here."
"Tony, besides being Iron Man, you're also Playboy, a millionaire, and a scientist, while I'm not only a ninja but also a Mage."
"OK, I understand."
Hearing Charlotte's explanation, Tony understood and didn't say anything more. Instead, he put on his Iron Man Armor, picked up his prepared spare equipment, and flew out of the Magic Tower, heading towards the main force.
After Tony left, Charlotte went to the room on the top floor of the Magic Tower, and with a wave of her hand, she made him take out Merlin's Robe and Merlin's Staff from her spatial ring.
After emerging, the two magical artifacts circled the room once before standing aside. Watching their performance, Charlotte nodded; they would be indispensable tomorrow.
He then opened the New Element Tony had given him, looked at the neatly arranged triangular crystals in front of him, took one out and placed it in his palm.
Ding! Items available for recharge have been found. Do you wish to recharge?
Top up!
Recharge successful! You have received 500 Gold Coin!
Ding! Triggered the 500 first recharge bonus, receiving an extra 500 Gold Coin!
Discovering that Tony's New Element is so valuable, it truly lives up to its $30 million price tag, though it is indeed quite expensive.
Getting something for free is always the best, but it's a supplementary method. Once you get the real Space Stone, you won't need to spend money to buy it anymore.
Without hesitation, Charlotte immediately used the remaining 9 New Element to recharge, adding 4,500 Gold Coin.
Charlotte then tallied up her gains over the past period. Through system check-ins, she received 500 Prestige, 200 Reincarnation Stone, 80,000 copper coins, 10 Ninjutsu Scroll, 600 Prestige, 50 servings of Delicious Ramen, 1 ninja summoning scroll, and 1 random A-rank ninja trial card.
During these check-ins, Charlotte also received system reminders that she did not receive double rewards because her VIP level was not high enough (levels 11 and 12).
When Charlotte obtained the A-rank Ninja Random Trial Card, she unfortunately missed the double reward because she hadn't reached VIP level 12. As for why the ninja trial card appeared, Charlotte didn't know what was going on. After all, the sign-in rewards have always been quite mysterious, unlike Mobile Game where there's a sign-in page that lets him know in advance what the monthly sign-in rewards are.
Looking at a Ninja Card in the Warehouse labeled "A-rank Ninja" and marked with a question mark, Charlotte didn't use it immediately. After all, the trial period for the card was only 24 hours, and he didn't know how long this defensive war would last. He could only wait until an unexpected event occurred to try it out. After all, the strength of an A-rank ninja was not to be underestimated. There were many Jinchuriki of Tailed Beast and even Mangekyo Sharingan users among them, including Sage Mode Naruto and Kurama Mode.
Besides the rewards from signing in, his ninjas completed 9 missions every day for the next 12 days, totaling 98 C-rank missions.
Despite the intense workload, Charlotte reaped considerable rewards.
The reward for a C-level mission is 500 x 98 Prestige, 50,000 x 98 copper coins, and 1 x 98 Normal Treasure Chest.
Seeing that his current resources Prestige had reached 76,970, Charlotte did not hesitate. This time, he planned to upgrade Gamakichi to the maximum level.
The next second, Charlotte began Gamakichi's upgrade journey.
At this point, Gamakichi was level 25. Each level up cost 2,800 Prestige and 320,000 copper coins, and his strength increased with each level up. After spending all her Prestige and 12.13 million copper coins, Charlotte leveled up her Summoned Beast Gamakichi to level 50, bringing his strength to its peak.
Charlotte hadn't expected the consumption to be so high; she almost ran out of Prestige. Copper coins were easy to buy, but not having enough Prestige was a problem. Fortunately, she had enough.
At the same time, with Gamakichi reaching the maximum level, the next Summoned Beast was also activated.
Ding! Congratulations on signing a new Summoned Beast - Ninja Turtle.
Click to view the introduction of the Ninja Turtle.
Ninja Turtle
Skills: Earth Spike, Earth Style Wall.
Earth Spike: Summons a large number of Earth Spike forward to attack enemies.
Earth Style Wall: Summons an Earth Wall that can be used for defense or to block enemy movement routes.
Additional skill: Ninja Turtle Protection, increases the defense of the entire Ninja Squad by 30% for 15 seconds.
Looking at the Ninja Turtle's skills, Charlotte nodded in satisfaction. She had to admit that the skills were quite powerful, especially the additional skill, which could be a lifesaver in crucial moments. It was just a pity that she didn't have enough Prestige to upgrade the Ninja Turtle for the time being.
Gamakichi, who was practicing his Toad Short Sword Slash in the Summoning Realm, suddenly felt his strength increase. He excitedly jumped a hundred meters high and shouted, "Hahaha, Blue Snake, where are you? Let's spar!"
"I'll show you the power of Mount Myoboku!"
Gamakichi excitedly rushed towards the direction of Blue Mountain, while unbeknownst to Gamakichi, Michael's Ninja Turtle also descended upon this Summoning Realm.
After resolving the issue of increasing the strength of her Summoned Beast, Charlotte then turned her attention to her equipment. After opening the outfit menu, she looked at the equipment she was wearing.
With six pieces of Chunin equipment, Charlotte first set her sights on the Chunin Shuriken and began upgrading it. Each level cost 300,000 copper coins, and after investing 30 million copper coins, she reached Chunin level 100 and was directly promoted to Jonin Shuriken.
After looking at the remaining five pieces of equipment, Charlotte didn't hesitate and invested 180 million copper coins to upgrade all her equipment to Jonin level.
To this end, Charlotte even recharged 100 million in cash and converted it into copper coins. After some maneuvering, she had more than 28 million copper coins left, but her own strength was also enhanced accordingly.
Charlotte felt that her strength had increased by about 30% while wearing the Jonin set, which was basically 5% higher per piece of equipment. Of course, this was only at the current stage, and this percentage would continue to decrease as Chakra 'Charlotte strength increased.
This money was well spent, and most importantly, the equipment is in the equipment slot, so it doesn't prevent him from wearing an additional Merlin Set.
After experiencing the improvement in her own strength, Charlotte looked at the resources she still had and began to consider where to continue improving her strength. After all, others might not know Mephisto's strength, but Charlotte knew very well that the guy's true form was a behemoth, and even though his strength would be severely weakened in the Magic World, he was still very difficult to deal with.
You need 26,926 Gold Coin, 102 Normal Treasure Chest, and the next Deployment Slot requires 16,000 Gold Coin.
After thinking for a moment, Charlotte decided to open all 100 Normal Treasure Chest first. This way, she could get a lot of good stuff. Based on her past experience, she could get at least 30 Ninja Fragment, some Gold Coin, and about 10 extra Ninja Recruitment Scroll, which would be a good supplement.
Open 10 Normal Treasure Chest
The Treasure Chest emitted a dazzling light, and after a flash of brilliance, the contents of the chest were revealed to Charlotte Doyle.

Ding! You have received 60 Gold Coin!
Looking at the information arranged on the screen, Charlotte glanced at it and first checked if there were any Ninja Scroll. She found that one of the ten Treasure Chest chests actually contained a Ninja Recruitment Scroll.
Charlotte was very satisfied with the result, it seemed that her luck had improved, so she did not hesitate and opened all the remaining 90 Treasure Chest.
After opening nine consecutive 10-pull Treasure Chest, Charlotte began to tally up her spoils.
I drew 40 times and got 2,400 Gold Coin Gold Coin, 5 Ninja Recruitment Scroll, 10 times and got 100,000 copper coins, 10 times and got 600 Prestige, and the rest were all 35 Ninja Fragment.
There are 14 B-rank ninja fragments: 5 for Naruto Shippuden Naruto Uzumaki, 3 for Kankuro from Naruto Shippuden, 3 for Ino Yamanaka Naruto Shippuden, and 3 for Sakura Haruno Naruto Shippuden.
21 C-rank ninja fragments: Kankuro 8 fragments), Hinata Hyuga 4 fragments), Sakura Haruno 2 fragments), Kiba Inuzuka 3 fragments), Shino 1 fragment), Choji Akimichi 2 fragments), Naruto Uzumaki 1 fragment).
All the rewards from the loot boxes were collected, and statistics showed that Kankuro and Sakura Haruno, both C-rank ninjas, had reached the summoning standard of 10.
Although Charlotte hadn't yet decided which ninja would be assigned to the battle slot, she still went to the ninja section to recruit one first.
The first thing you'll see is the portrait of Kankuro, Sand Ninja from the Land of Wind. He has 10/10 fragments. Do you want to recruit him? Click to recruit.
A new screen popped up the next second.
Kankuro's index fingers were covered in Chakra Threads, and two Puppet floated behind him, ready for battle!
Congratulations on successfully recruiting the new C-rank ninja: Kankuro.
Upon opening the ninja's details, Charlotte's first priority was to determine the ninja's skills.
Kankuro: C-rank ninja
Skills: May Rain, Attack Mechanism, Dark Secret Technique - One Shot, One Kill.
May Rain: Controls Puppet Crow to take off, circle, and throw Explosive Orb. The orbs explode immediately upon landing.
Attack Mechanism: Control the Puppet Crow to dash forward quickly, spinning and slicing through enemies.
Dark Secret Technique - One-Shot Kill: Releases Puppet Black Ant that charges forward, grabbing all enemies in its path and trapping them inside. The Puppet Puppet 'Black Ant Crow then pierce the enemies with their sharp blades, finally detonating the Puppet Black Ant to kill them. (Dear viewers - The End!)
Basic Attack: Uses Puppet Crow to perform mid-to-long-range attacks.
Charlotte was quite satisfied to finally have a ninja who could play with Puppet. Although Kankuro's strength was not very strong at the moment, he was still a promising talent. On the one hand, the Sunagakure stronghold that was to be released separately had one more ninja, which at least supplemented the number of people.
On the other hand, Kankuro, after seeing modern materials, is also able to upgrade the Puppet's materials. Presumably, this guy can also find a lot of inspiration from Tony.
Although Kankuro is far inferior to Elder Chiyo and Sasori, he is still a considerable help.
With Kankuro successfully recruited, Charlotte's Chakra increased by 1 card, reaching 57 cards. She also Kankuro's Puppet Manipulation Technique, as well as the methods for creating and using Black Ant and Crow.
The only difference is that Charlotte didn't obtain these two Puppet. If she wanted to use them, she would either have to create them herself or take Kankuro's puppets. Fortunately, she didn't need to use these things. The only thing she cared about was the increased Chakra.
