Uchiha Qi: I've Thought of a Better Way to Exploit People!

Of course, the so-called Mangekyo Sharingan was just Uchiha Fugaku's helpless scoff. He knew very well that Uchiha Qi's technique wasn't the Mangekyo Sharingan; otherwise, to activate it, he wouldn't need others to offer no resistance at all.

After all, if it truly were the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan, whether one resisted or not would make little difference—they wouldn't be able to resist anyway.

It could only be said that the activation conditions for Uchiha Qi's technique were indeed very strict, but the effect after success was quite astonishing.

However, Uchiha Fugaku didn't consider the possibility of this technique continuing to upgrade and rival Wood Release, unlike Minato Namikaze. After all, despite Uchiha Qi's talent, his aptitude as a ninja was too low.

As the leader of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku was a staunch believer in bloodline supremacy. Naturally, he didn't share Minato Namikaze's idea that one could break physical limits and bloodline restrictions given the right opportunities and conditions.

Yet, this technique did indeed give Uchiha Fugaku hope—the possibility of significantly increasing the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan awakening rate and speeding up its evolution.

Such a level of realism, coupled with its unbreakable nature even by a powerful Three Tomoe Sharingan, made it an ultimate secret technique seemingly created for the Uchiha.

Putting everything else aside, just the utterly terrifying experience, never before felt, could potentially cause anyone with even a slightly better bloodline to awaken their Sharingan directly under such stimulation.

Uchiha Fugaku, for one, believed that if he hadn't already awakened his Sharingan, he would have been on the verge of doing so after the recent stimulation.

And now, as the terrifying blood creatures in the crimson domain charged, the scene of being besieged by countless foes and, despite fighting with all his might, ultimately being outnumbered and killed, only solidified Uchiha Fugaku's conviction.

Because the experience of death was truly too real, and the painful sensation of having his body torn apart by enemy weapons was astonishingly vivid. It genuinely made Uchiha Fugaku feel as if he couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality—if the Sharingan hadn't been completely useless after being activated, Uchiha Fugaku might have truly believed it.

Note that "useless" here doesn't just mean the Sharingan couldn't break the Genjutsu Game; it also means the Sharingan was just ordinary eyes in this world.

Don't forget, Uchiha Fugaku was playing a game character here, and it was strictly limited.

While the game didn't restrict Uchiha Fugaku from using a cosmetic contact lens skin, this skin couldn't break through the underlying code to provide actual enhancement.

Thus, Uchiha Fugaku, with his Sharingan activated in the game, was essentially just playing with a cosmetic contact lens skin. The strength of his game character was whatever it was supposed to be.

In fact, because the Sharingan was useless, Uchiha Fugaku's actual combat prowess was even lower.

Uchiha Fugaku was already inferior to Minato Namikaze in combat technique. Under the same conditions, Uchiha Fugaku, who was accustomed to the Sharingan's augmentation, lost that very augmentation. He completely became a super noob playing a Dark Souls-like game, primarily focused on dying.

What Uchiha Qi saw was Uchiha Fugaku repeatedly challenging and dying again and again after each death, fully showcasing the art of various demise methods.

Being stabbed to death, stomped to death, crashed into, hacked to death, impaled, dismembered, split open, turned into 2.5 Fugakus, and all other forms of death were displayed, truly revealing what a passion play it was.

Uchiha Fugaku also went from being initially terrified by death to gradually becoming numb, then simmering with resentment and anger, becoming increasingly fixated. He held his breath, determined to "defeat these blood creatures no matter what today," and steadily pushed forward, slaying individual blood creatures with all his might.

That desperate and persistent demeanor left Uchiha Qi silent for a moment, then he couldn't help but scratch his head. "Should I tell him he doesn't need to fight so desperately to defeat every single blood creature, and just needs to break through their encirclement to reach the end?"

"Looking at how fixated he is, if I tell him the truth now, he might get angry out of embarrassment."

"Never mind, I won't say anything. Anyway, I don't need these users, who provide emotional value, to complete the game; I just want them to provide enough emotional value."

Muttering these thoughts, Uchiha Qi's gaze turned to the system panel, where the numbers made him nod with great satisfaction.

Because Uchiha Fugaku had already provided 1024 emotional points. Although it wasn't increasing anymore and wasn't as much as Minato Namikaze provided, this number was still quite substantial, pushing Uchiha Qi's mission progress forward significantly.

Moreover, the emotional value that could be provided had already reached its limit.

The game had barely been played, yet the emotional points were already fully supplied, showing just how great Uchiha Fugaku's emotional fluctuations were.

Uchiha Qi felt a bit of regret.

He regretted making the game "too big." Although in his opinion, a game with less than two hours of gameplay was completely a small game, based on current player feedback, he actually only needed to make a micro-game of about half an hour.

Even if it couldn't maximize emotional value, it would be enough to earn a significant amount. The saved Chakra and eye power could allow him to open the game several more times a day, achieving a "small profits but quick turnover" effect, instead of only being able to open two or three games at most per day as it was now.

"I still overestimated the psychological resilience of the Ninja World's elites, or rather, these ordinary, grim Earth-based tactics are simply too advanced for this world, to the point that even these Ninja World elites can't help but 'drop coins'."

Muttering this, Uchiha Qi also considered another possibility: splitting the existing game and creating a "trial version" with a half-hour duration.

It was normal for single-player games to have trial versions, but typically, single-player games had at least five or six hours of gameplay, with a 20 to 30-minute trial version. He, however, would cut a two-hour game into a half-hour trial version.

Since it was just to complete the novice mission and collect 5000 emotional points, if doing so could accomplish the mission, then there was nothing wrong with it.

Thinking this, Uchiha Qi couldn't help but ask the system if he could cut out a trial version to collect emotional points.

Although the system was still an artificial idiot, it still provided an answer, and the answer was: Yes.

As long as it was the first game, no matter how much content it provided, as long as it met the minimum requirement of ten minutes of player experience, it could achieve the effect of collecting emotional value. The only difference was that if the game time was too short, the collected emotional value wouldn't reach its peak.

Undoubtedly, the system's answer made Uchiha Qi incredibly satisfied, and he also somewhat regretted not asking clearly at the beginning. Otherwise, he might have completed the novice mission today.

It must be said, the leniency of the tasks given by this system was truly high; it offered complete operability. A trial version alone could thoroughly extract emotional value from players for the entire game. Judging by Minato Namikaze's and Uchiha Fugaku's performances, it was highly probable that most other players would provide all their emotional value within half an hour.

Based on the concept of completing the mission, it seemed even just making a trial version would be sufficient.

In reality, however, this was due to the unique nature of the Ninja World. In a world where entertainment culture was an absolute desert, encountering the Genjutsu Game created by Uchiha Qi was a dimensional strike.

If this were on Earth, putting aside the fact that Earth's technology couldn't yet establish the foundation of a Spiritual Network, even the most realistic game would have limited stimulation for modern people who had already experienced various entertainment bombardments.

A mere trial version, no matter how well made, would only make those people excited and anticipate; the emotional value it could provide certainly couldn't compare to people in the Ninja World.

Furthermore, Uchiha Qi believed that as he created more games in the future, players in the Ninja World would also develop high resistance to various game tropes.

By then, this small game, in its current form, would probably at most only slightly increase their heart rate, or perhaps not even that much.

This was a matter of course. After all, humanity's threshold for pleasure was constantly rising.
