On the other side.
Drake, far away in San Francisco, also saw the news about the family's lawsuit. Watching the interview on television, he frowned slightly, immediately summoned his chief secretary, and pointed to the news on TV, saying:
"William, why hasn't this matter been resolved yet? Instead, it's been leaked to the media."
"Boss, I'll send someone to investigate right away and cover this up."
Drake glanced at William and said coldly, "Resolve this as soon as possible."
Drake then turned and walked into the Laboratory, where research on true Symbiote was underway.
The first controlled experiment is now underway.
Inside a sealed Laboratory, there was a container filled with Symbiote. The container was divided into two parts, separated by a metal plate. One side contained the Symbiote, while the other side held a small white mouse.
As the first controlled experiment began, the metal baffle inside the container retracted, and the Symbiote crawled toward the mouse, quickly entering its body.
The detector scanned the mouse's body from all angles, and after the Symbiote entered the mouse's body, the mouse's body showed a significant increase in temperature under the detection.
Looking at the situation before him, Drake was stunned. Could this thing possibly be able to coexist with other creatures?
However, less than three seconds later, the rat collapsed and died, Symbiote crawled out of the rat's body and returned to its original place.
Upon seeing these results, Drake remained silent for three seconds before speaking, "Collect the data, dissect the mice, analyze all experimental variables, and then report the results to me."
"Yes, Dr. Drake."
Drake didn't stay in the Laboratory afterward; he had a shareholders' meeting coming up, and the company's stock had been falling recently. He needed to communicate with the shareholders and prepare for them to contribute capital to stabilize the stock price.

On the other side.
Eddie Block, who had only been in the business for a week, didn't care about being unemployed. In his opinion, given his popularity in the media industry, finding another job would be very easy. On the contrary, the blow of heartbreak was greater for him. Looking at the ring on his hand, he felt a mix of emotions.
He felt some remorse for his actions, which led his fiancée to leave him, and he hadn't had a chance to apologize to her.
Thinking about all this, Eddie felt very annoyed. He had been drinking all night, and now he picked up another bottle of beer and chugged it down. He had only taken two sips when he collapsed on the floor and fell asleep in the living room.

On the other side.
After breakfast, Charlotte returned to her room and then her consciousness entered the System Space to check the Ninja Fragment Shop updated today.
Upon opening the Ninja interface in the System Store, the portraits of four ninjas come into view.
Jiraiya Fragments: Daily purchase limit of 0/9, 720 Gold Coin /1 fragment!
Cursed Seal Kimimaro Fragments: Daily purchase limit of 0/9, 180 Gold Coin fragment!
Shisui Uchiha Fragments: Daily purchase limit of 0/9, 420 Gold Coin /1 fragment!
Might Guy Fragments: Daily purchase limit of 0/9, 230 Gold Coin /1 fragment!
Charlotte's eyes lit up as he looked at the four newly spawned ninjas. He was interested in every single one of them, especially the S-rank Ninja, Jiraiya the Toad Sage, who had just been spawned again. He was very satisfied with that.
Even with Might Guy already recruited, he was willing to max out his Star Upgrade for 230 Gold Coin.
Having made up her mind, Charlotte didn't hesitate any longer. She immediately started collecting all the fragments of the S-rank Ninja Jiraiya, spending 6480 Gold Coin to reach 18 fragments. She was still 82 fragments short of collecting all the fragments, so it seemed she would need to refresh the page 9 more times to Jiraiya.
Charlotte then clicked on the portrait of Cursed Seal Kimimaro, which showed that she currently only had 8 fragments. Charlotte glanced at it and, thinking that in order to further enhance the opponent's strength, she directly spent 1620 Gold Coin to buy 9 more fragments, bringing the total to 17.
Thinking of Kaguya Kimimaro, Charlotte recalled an analysis she had seen online in her previous life, which said that if Kimimaro didn't have the Kekkei Genkai Disease, he would be the body Orochimaru most wanted. She didn't know if it was true or not, but Kimimaro was indeed free from the Kekkei Genkai Disease now.
Having dealt with the first two Ninja Fragment, Charlotte's gaze fell upon Shisui Uchiha, the fourth member of the Uchiha Clan. He was also an A-rank ninja and a user of the Mangekyō Sharingan. It was unknown whether his dual Kotoamatsukami could control the powerful figures of this world.
Charlotte's portrait displays 16 Ninja Fragment, indicating that she refreshed the page 4 times, spending 3760 Gold Coin to bring her total to 25 fragments.
Now only A-rank Might Guy remains. Charlotte portrait on it, showing that she has 15 fragments. To upgrade him to three stars, she needs 60 fragments. However, considering that A-rank Might Guy is currently available for recruitment, Charlotte thinks that upgrading him to three stars will not be difficult. So she directly spent 2070 Gold Coin to buy him, bringing her fragment count to 24.
The quantity it possessed immediately exceeded one-third, making its Star Upgrade no longer a distant prospect.
In the blink of an eye, Charlotte had already spent 13,930 Gold Coin. Looking at the remaining 81,215 Gold Coin, Charlotte thought for a moment that she was lucky today. All the Ninja Fragment refreshed in the Ninja Store were powerful ninjas, and she thought today was a perfect day for ninja recruitment.
Having this idea, Charlotte felt it very strongly, and without hesitation, she exited the System Space and immediately began to set up a blessing ritual.
Charlotte used magic to construct a Merlin-style Merlin Array on the ground. Then, she took out a New Element Ice Crystal given to her by Tony Stark from her Storage Space and placed it in the upper left corner of the circle. Next, she took out an unused ice crystal and placed it in the upper right corner. Then, she took out the Ankara Stone and the Heart of the Earth and placed them in the lower left and lower right corners, respectively. Finally, she lit a candle in the center.
After arranging the items for the blessing ceremony, Sherlock began his prayer.
"God of Ninjas doesn't belong to this era;"
"Prime Merlinian ruler of magic;"
"Charlotte Doyle, the God of Otsutsuki who traverses the stars;"
"I beg your attention;"
"May you grant me good fortune;"
After doing all this, Charlotte felt an even stronger sense of good fortune, and immediately entered the System Space without further delay.
After entering the System Space, Charlotte immediately went to the recruitment interface, spent 5040 Gold Coin to purchase thirty Ninja Recruitment Scroll, and immediately began recruiting.
"Ninja Recruitment, 10-pull, open!"
A Whirlpool Symbol from the Land of Whirlpools appeared before Charlotte Doyle, emitting a strange light. After a flash of light, the recruitment results also appeared before Charlotte Doyle's eyes.
Ding! You have obtained 2 fragments of the C-rank ninja, Shikamaru Nara!
Ding! Obtained 1 C-rank ninja, Gold Hammer Fragment!
Ding! You have obtained one fragment of the C-rank ninja, Hanabi Hyuga!
Ding! You have obtained 1 fragment of the C-rank ninja, Temari!
Ding! You have obtained 2 fragments of the B-rank ninja, Naruto Shippuden - Sasuke Uchiha!
Ding! You have obtained 4 fragments of Might Guy, an A-rank ninja!
Ding! You have obtained 5 fragments of Mei Terumi!
Ding! Obtained 1 fragment of Mei Terumi!
Ding! You have obtained one A-rank ninja, Might Guy fragment!
Ding! Obtained 1 C-rank ninja, Zaku (Orange) fragment!
After the recruitment ended, Charlotte glanced at her recruitment results. Seeing the second row full of avatars flashing with golden light, she knew that this was a huge success. Just as she had predicted, her luck was off the charts. She got 6 fragments of Mei Terumi, which was guaranteed to be 1, and 5 fragments of Might Guy, an A-rank ninja.
It's fair to say that Charlotte was very satisfied with this recruitment, thanks to the result of her own actions. Indeed, taking advantage of oneself is the most effective way to achieve success.
After reviewing all the information, Charlotte discovered that only 3 fragments were needed to recruit Mei Terumi, indicating that the rebirth of Kirigakure was just around the corner.
I tallied up the results of this 10-pull recruitment and obtained 19 fragments. Although the quantity is relatively small, the quality is quite high.
There are 11 A-rank ninja fragments, 2 B-rank ninja fragments, and 6 C-rank ninja fragments. The entire number of fragments is concentrated on A-rank ninjas, so the smaller number is acceptable.
Having collected all the fragments, Charlotte, taking advantage of her good fortune, immediately did another ten-pull recruitment without wasting any time.
"Ninja Recruitment, 10-pull, open!"
The Whirlpool Symbol of the Land of Whirlpools reappeared before his eyes, glowing with a strange light. After a flash of light, the recruitment results appeared before Charlotte Doyle's eyes.
Ding! You have obtained a B-rank ninja and 4 white shards!
Ding! You have obtained 4 fragments of the B-rank ninja, Naruto Shippuden - Sasuke Uchiha!
Ding! You have obtained 2 fragments of the C-rank ninja, Dosu Kinugami!
Ding! You have obtained 2 fragments of the B-rank ninja, Naruto Shippuden - Sasuke Uchiha!
Ding! You have obtained 2 fragments of the C-rank ninja, Dosu Kinugami!
Ding! You have obtained 2 Orange Fragments of C-rank Ninja, Zaku!
Ding! You have obtained a B-rank ninja and 2 white shards!
Ding! Obtained 1 fragment of Mei Terumi!
Ding! You have obtained 4 fragments of Might Guy, an A-rank ninja!
Ding! You have obtained 4 fragments of the A-rank ninja, Asuma Sarutobi!
As the recruitment ended, Charlotte's eyes widened. Although the results weren't a huge upset with Mei Terumi, the overall quality was quite high: three A-rank ninjas, four B-rank ninjas, and the remaining three C-rank ninjas were all members of the Otogakure.
Although it's not as good as the previous ten-pull recruitment, with Mei Terumi, it still brings the total to 38 fragments. It's only a matter of one or two more ten-pull recruitments to successfully recruit her.
Asuma Sarutobi gained 4 more, reaching 38, which is very close. Might Guy, needless to say, has exceeded 30, clearly heading towards three stars.
As for the Ice Style Master Haku, he's only one fragment away from being successfully recruited. Perhaps in the next ten-pull recruitment, Kirigakure will finally make its debut.
The only pity is that although Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto Shippuden: Uchiha obtained quite a few fragments this time, they only had 26, which is still a long way from successfully recruiting him. Fortunately, Naruto and Sasuke are both on missions, so there's no need to worry about anyone surpassing anyone else.
I tallied up the results of this 10-pull recruitment and obtained 27 fragments, which is a significant increase compared to the previous 10-pull recruitment.
There are 9 A-rank ninja fragments, 12 B-rank ninja fragments, and 6 C-rank ninja fragments. However, this time the number of A-rank ninja fragments has decreased, while the number of B-rank and C-rank ninja fragments has increased.
Having collected all the fragments, Charlotte compared the results of the two recruitments and concluded that her luck had slightly diminished. Without hesitation, Charlotte immediately conducted a third ten-pull recruitment.
"Ninja Recruitment, 10-pull, open!"
The Whirlpool Symbol of the Land of Whirlpools reappeared before his eyes, glowing with a strange light. After a flash of light, the recruitment results appeared before Charlotte Doyle's eyes.
Ding! You have obtained 5 fragments of Mei Terumi!
Ding! Obtained 1 C-rank ninja, Dosu Kinugami Fragment!
Ding! Obtained 1 C-rank ninja, Zaku (Orange) fragment!
Ding! Obtained 1 fragment of C-rank ninja, Umino Iruka!
Ding! You have obtained 4 fragments of the B-rank ninja, Naruto Shippuden - Sasuke Uchiha!
Ding! You have obtained 4 fragments of the A-rank ninja, Asuma Sarutobi!
Ding! You have obtained a B-rank ninja and 2 white shards!
Ding! You have obtained one C-rank ninja, Shizune Fragment!
Ding! You have obtained 4 fragments of Might Guy, an A-rank ninja!
Ding! Obtained 1 fragment of C-rank ninja, Sakura Haruno!
As the recruitment ended, Charlotte was overjoyed. This final ten-pull hadn't let him down, and he also felt that the feeling of good fortune had faded. He knew that the blessing of luck had ended.
In this final round of ten-pull ninja recruitment, I got 5 fragments from the guaranteed Mei Terumi, and Might Guy and Asuma each got 4 more fragments. As expected, with the blessing of luck, everything went smoothly and my wishes came true.
I tallied up the results of this 10-pull recruitment, and I got 24 fragments, which is a fairly average result compared to the other three 10-pull recruitments.
Charlotte was very satisfied with the result, which included 13 A-rank ninja fragments, 6 B-rank ninja fragments, and 5 C-rank ninja fragments.
Having collected all the fragments, Charlotte concluded her ninja recruitment campaign. She had used all thirty Ninja Recruitment Scroll she purchased, and overall, she was extremely satisfied with the recruitment results.
Mei Terumi, Asuma Sarutobi, and Haku all met the recruitment standards. Two of them were A-rank ninjas and one was a B-rank ninja. Their strength was at the Kage Level, Elite Jonin, and Jonin, respectively.
Recruiting these three ninjas, without considering anything else, would increase Charlotte's Chakra reserves by a full thirty-five chakra units, which is an incredibly terrifying amount. He could use Ninjutsu like Chidori a hundred more times.
To put that into perspective, a hundred Shadow Clone, each wielding a Chidori, would increase the number by that amount. This means that during the next rebellion in the Nine Realms, Charlotte could directly take Thor back to Asgard using Merlin Array.
In addition, after Charlotte manifests the three ninjas, he will directly gain three Kekkei Genkai: Ice Style, Boil Style, and Lava Style. It can be said that he will eventually be a collection of countless bloodlines, even greater than the Otsutsuki, and may even reach or surpass the height of the Otsutsuki God.
