Spectator mode? Watching mode!

"Lord Qi."

"Lord Qi."

"Lord Qi."

Upon arriving at the Uchiha Clan Compound, Uchiha Qi truly experienced the trope of an underdog's comeback. Along the way, members of the Uchiha Clan waited for him, bowing respectfully and greeting him.

It was all about showing respect, status, and class.

Honestly, while Uchiha Qi was secretly thrilled, he also felt a subtle awkwardness. This scene immediately reminded him of some parody videos he'd seen in his previous life, like those about the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King, Dragon King's Return, or Invincible Son-in-Law.

The image of that Crooked-Mouth Dragon King seemed to reappear before Uchiha Qi's eyes, grinning at him with a crooked smile, as if saying, "Well done, you have inherited our glorious mantle."

But, seriously, Uchiha Qi really did have that vibe now.

It was mainly due to his personality; he would always nod and smile in response when others greeted him.

Even though his status within the clan had undergone a drastic change, he hadn't become arrogant or overbearing.

After all…

One shouldn't underestimate the mental fortitude and clear self-awareness of the Uchiha Pressure-Resistant King!

So, if you viewed it from the right angle, Uchiha Qi's smile truly had that crooked-mouth Dragon King feel.

Of course, that was just a passing thought.

For Uchiha Qi, the Uchiha Clan had given him high-level treatment from the main gate onwards, welcoming him every step of the way. While there was no grand public announcement, there were always some individuals within Konoha constantly observing the Uchiha Clan's every move.

Today's situation was undoubtedly very peculiar. Uchiha Qi estimated that, barring any mishaps, related news would soon reach the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Konoha's Shadow of the Pot, Shimura Danzo.

"I'll probably be targeted by those two old men, but the Uchiha Clan is still at its peak. Before the Nine-Tails Attack severely undermined our authority, even if that meddlesome Pot Kage Danzo wanted to do something to me, he'd have to seriously consider if he could handle the Uchiha Clan's wrath."

Muttering these thoughts to himself, Uchiha Qi wasn't too worried about it.

Soon, Uchiha Qi was nearing the main hall where the Uchiha Clan held important internal meetings.

There, Uchiha Qi saw a beautiful young woman with long black hair holding a baby.

She was none other than Uchiha Fugaku's wife, Uchiha Mikoto, and the baby in her arms was Uchiha Weasel, who had just turned one this year.

Facing Uchiha Qi, Uchiha Mikoto smiled and nodded, saying, "Lord Qi, congratulations."

Uchiha Qi smiled. "You're too kind, Sister Mikoto."

Uchiha Mikoto stepped aside. "Go on in! Fugaku and the others are already waiting for you."

Uchiha Qi nodded and walked to the front door of the house. Two Uchiha members respectfully pulled open the doors, revealing over a dozen people sitting inside, backs straight, radiating an air of authority.

Among them, the current clan head and his son, Uchiha Fugaku, occupied the main seats in the center, while others were seated in two rows on either side, according to their status.

When the doors opened, all dozen or so individuals, representing the highest echelons of the Uchiha Clan, turned their gaze towards Uchiha Qi.

Uchiha Qi neither humble nor arrogant, simply said "Excuse me" to the group, then politely walked inside. The doors behind him closed shortly after.

During this time, Uchiha Jiri also entered, walking directly to the last seat on the right side and sitting down. As an elite of the younger generation of the Uchiha Clan, she was also qualified to attend this crucial "meeting" today.

To be honest, Uchiha Qi wasn't particularly fond of such strict etiquette, but he couldn't argue with the fact that these large clans valued such things. He had been taught them since childhood, so he didn't find it awkward to use them now.

There were no melodramatic provocations or challenges. Inside the dojo-like main hall, the dozen or so Uchiha members looked at Uchiha Qi with genuine goodwill, some even with a hint of guilt. Most of these were members of the Konoha Military Police Force.

This situation meant that Uchiha Qi's previous fantasies of grandstanding and face-slapping were completely useless. It just goes to show that within the Uchiha Clan, some clichéd displays of showing off truly had no market.

If this were the Hyūga Clan next door, who loved to pick fights with the Uchiha Clan, there would probably be a lot of drama to watch right now.

Next, after exchanging greetings, Uchiha Qi, not wanting to waste time, immediately got to the point, stating that for any other matters, they could first "inspect the goods." Only after confirming certain things could they discuss what came next.

This direct attitude made the Uchiha members exchange glances, but no one seemed to dislike it. After all, the Uchiha were generally a straightforward bunch. Even the oldest, Uchiha Setsuna, could only be described as speechless in terms of cunning.

Then, Uchiha Qi explained that he had further improved the Genjutsu Game, stating that this modification was made so that more people could experience the game today, rather than only one person being able to experience it in a whole morning.

Furthermore, to make the realism of the Genjutsu Game even clearer, Uchiha Qi also developed new features based on the Genjutsu Game, allowing some people to enter a "Spectator Mode" together.

This meant that while one person played the game, others could observe their gameplay from a bird's-eye view.

Yes, this was the process Uchiha Qi had newly developed last night, and it was the main reason for his lack of energy this morning, as the consumption was quite significant.

As for the so-called "Spectator Mode," it was actually an inherent feature of the game development technology provided by the system.

What looked like live streaming was actually a "spectator" function found in many online multiplayer games.

For example, in CS, after a player is killed, they can "possess" a living teammate to follow their view.

And in real-time strategy games like StarCraft or Warcraft, besides the players directly participating, other players can observe the entire battle through the "spectator" function.

The technology provided by the game development system naturally included this common function, and Uchiha Qi expanded the game's features through the Spiritual Network, adding the "spectator" function.

Now, it was time to put it all to use.

Moreover, Uchiha Qi didn't develop this function just to create a new gimmick; he also wanted to conduct an experiment. Since the system collected Emotion Value, was there a clear limit to this Emotion Value? Could Emotion Value generated by watching a live stream also be absorbed?

Uchiha Qi had previously asked the system if it was possible, but this AI system didn't give an answer. At the time, it even seemed to freeze up a bit, fully demonstrating its unreliability. So, Uchiha Qi decided to test the actual effect himself.

Now, everything was ready to begin.

A Jonin with a Three Tomoe Sharingan from the Konoha Military Police Force sat in front of Uchiha Qi. He was the person who had refused Uchiha Qi when he had gone to test the Genjutsu Game yesterday. He was still quite awkward facing Uchiha Qi now, but he didn't try to avoid his mistake.

In front of Uchiha Qi, he leaned forward, bowing respectfully and apologizing, showing utmost sincerity.

Of course, Uchiha Qi quickly told the person to stand up, stating that he didn't care about these things. They were all members of the Uchiha Clan, all striving to make the Uchiha Clan even greater, so any past issues should simply fade away like passing clouds.

What he displayed was vision and emotional intelligence that most Uchiha could learn from for a lifetime.

What? Why didn't Uchiha Qi seize the opportunity to show off and put someone in their place?

Well, aside from offending people, what good would that do?

The current situation was that the Uchiha Clan had offered Uchiha Qi benefits he couldn't refuse, moving him deeply with genuine 'emotion,' much like the classic meme of "they gave too much."

Having received these benefits, Uchiha Qi simply wanted to make the Uchiha great again—and, incidentally, quickly complete his system missions to get his system rewards!

That was the key; everything else was just secondary.

And so, the first game began in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.

This time, entering the game world alongside him were six other Uchiha in Spectator Mode.
