Super Reward, But Uchiha Qi Was Reminded of the Terror of Being Dominated by Tencent

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've sold a total of 5,000 game copies, generating 100 million ryo in local currency. Based on current prices, this is approximately 33.33 million RMB. This super explosive sales volume means you've completed the mission ahead of schedule!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received the highest-tier reward. The System is now officially activated, the Shop is open, and the Emotion Value exchange system is now available.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received Platinum Chest x1, Gold Chest x1, Silver Chest x1.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Player! You have perfectly passed the novice trial and officially activated the System. Please continue to work hard and strive to become the greatest game producer in the world as soon as possible.]

[Please prepare well for the next three days, Host. The mission system will reactivate in three days.]

These were the messages from the System.

The mission, originally with a one-month deadline, was completed directly because of the overwhelming number of orders.

The original limited edition, priced at 500 copies + 100,000 RMB, had now sold ten times that many copies, and the sales volume had reached 333 times the initial amount.

Such an exaggerated surplus directly surpassed the highest limit set by the System for mission over-completion, leading to an early settlement and the highest possible rewards.

Moreover, chests of different qualities were directly awarded. Uchiha Qi looked at them; these chests were somewhat like lottery items, containing corresponding quality items. After opening a chest, an item of that quality would randomly appear.

Damn it, isn't this just a gacha system?

Holy crap, I've transmigrated, and Tencent is still chasing me!

Uchiha Qi gasped, feeling both happy that the mission was completed early and also a bit constipated.

However, completing the mission was a good thing, and he immediately checked the Shop and Emotion Value exchange functions, which became available after the System officially activated.

These were functions that unlocked after the System's official activation, a reward for Uchiha Qi successfully completing the novice trial.

This wasn't surprising, though. When the System issued this mission, Uchiha Qi understood that all the previous missions he had completed were merely System directives during the novice period, classic novice guidance stages.

Now, he had truly completed the series of missions.

And he had over-completed them.

Facts proved that Uchiha Qi's decision to directly seek the Uchiha Clan's support and then hold this press conference was absolutely correct. It was precisely because of the experience from the press conference, and the marketing strategies from Earth, that the games were bought out immediately after the event.

Just before, representatives from various major clans who had arrived immediately sought out Uchiha Fugaku and others, expressing their desire to purchase the Genjutsu Game.

After all, that "gift to Konoha" was simply too impactful, a classic case of "if you don't buy it, you don't love Konoha." Even if ninjas just wanted to express their love for Konoha, they had to spend money to buy it.

Furthermore, the actual effects of the Genjutsu Game had been fully demonstrated through Minato Namikaze's performance. For the improvement of themselves, their families, friends, and clan members, ninjas would not be stingy with their money; they eagerly placed orders.

Twenty thousand ryo wasn't cheap, but compared to the improvement in strength, it was practically a steal. Naturally, everyone bought like crazy.

There was no such thing as collecting deposits here; all payments were made in full—although the organizers didn't have that many game scrolls prepared, pre-ordering and similar methods weren't exactly sophisticated. Uchiha Qi naturally just adopted them.

Additionally, merchants who came to Konoha were also very interested and would, of course, stock up to sell elsewhere.

While these merchants couldn't directly calculate the actual sales volume yet, the ninjas within Konoha alone were enough to consume the supply.

Since each official Genjutsu Game scroll could only be played by one person through blood-binding, Ninja Clans often bought many copies at once, based on the total number of ninjas in their clan. The System would then tally the quantity based on the purchaser's actual situation, ultimately arriving at a final number that matched the real circumstances.

In this regard, the System did possess intelligence. At the very least, it could make judgments based on the purchaser's actual situation and wouldn't assume that if only one person purchased, then no matter how many were bought, they were only for that one individual.

Similarly, even if not many Genjutsu Game scrolls were ready for direct sale, as long as a user placed a pre-order and paid, the sales volume would also be included in the statistics.

Hmm? How were the exchange rates between the Ninja World's currency and RMB calculated?

The Ninja World's 'ryo' wasn't ancient Chinese silver; it was just a common currency term in the Ninja World.

Based on the current price of a bowl of char siu ramen at 60 ryo in the Ninja World, the System directly converted the local currency to RMB at a 3:1 exchange rate, resulting in the final reported sales of 33.33 million RMB.

Of course, this was only the amount calculated by the System. The actual final sales volume and revenue would definitely be far more than this; the System simply stopped counting once the orders exploded.

Uchiha Qi estimated that the final sales revenue would likely exceed 200 million ryo.

That's almost ten Asumas!

Pure profit!

Undeniably pure profit!

Although Sealing Scrolls were expensive, when purchased in bulk, the price could be pressed down to under 5,000 ryo, while the actual production cost was around 6,000 ryo. Everything else was profit.

Such a massive profit would make even the Uchiha Clan envious.

Keep in mind that from constructing the venue to holding the press conference today, plus hiring a large number of ninjas and laborers, the Uchiha Clan's total investment was only slightly over 100 million ryo—after all, in a world with backward productivity, labor costs were truly very low.

In terms of making money alone, this venture was a huge success.

Just look at Kushina Uzumaki; this Sealing Jutsu researcher was made a franchisee of the Genjutsu Game by Uchiha Qi. She and Minato Namikaze, the lifelong endorser, held a 5% stake and were currently excitedly counting money.

Don't underestimate that 5%. It's important to remember that the Genjutsu Game's profits weren't exclusively for the Uchiha Clan; even Uchiha Qi, the founder, only held 10%.

Of the remaining 85%, the Uchiha Clan itself held 35%, and the remaining 50% share would be distributed today among several Ninja Clans worth recruiting.

In fact, Uchiha Fugaku was already negotiating with representatives from various clans, explaining that the Genjutsu Game would truly operate under a commercial model moving forward. He had already established a guild for this purpose, simply named the "Konoha Gaming Guild," which would specialize in game-related operations.

The Uchiha Clan would not monopolize the profits but sincerely invited interested and discerning Ninja Clans to join. They only needed to invest a sum of money and contribute a portion of their family resources to the guild to help promote the products throughout the Ninja World to qualify.

Upon learning this, representatives from the major Ninja Clans naturally agreed in unison.

Anyone with an ounce of sense could see the vast prospects of the Genjutsu Game and understood the immense benefits and advantages it offered. And since the Uchiha Clan wasn't hogging the profits but instead sharing them with everyone, who would miss out on this Taotie feast?

Ultimately, the Hyuga Clan, Nara Clan, Akimichi Clan, Yamanaka Clan, and other well-known Konoha Ninja Clans all joined. Even members of the Senju Clan, who had abandoned their surname to integrate into Konoha, joined, generously offering to invest. This even included the families of Sarutobi, Mitokado, and Utatane, the Konoha F4.

As for Shimura Danzo...

Ugh, it's safe to say the Shimura Clan drew the short straw with Shimura Danzo as their "Pot Kage." The clan had long since fallen into decline, relegated to commoners, and he was known for being ruthless to enemies and even more ruthless to his own people.

In any case, a super interest group was formed, encompassing almost all of Konoha's Ninja Clans.

Most people only saw the immense profits and a bright future. They also thought the Uchiha Clan had truly changed their ways—such a huge, continuously profitable venture was actually being shared with everyone. It was completely unexpected, and their goodwill towards the Uchiha Clan soared.

Only a few clever individuals, like Shikaku Nara, saw something deeper: the emergence of an interest group powerful enough to sway all of Konoha.

Furthermore, even if Konoha's higher-ups recognized the problem, there was little they could do. This time, even their own family members had joined. If they tried to do anything to the Uchiha Clan, they would be going against this interest group and would face direct resistance and opposition from within their own families.

It was truly…

…a move designed to pull the rug out from under them!

Shikaku Nara, who spearheaded Ino-Shika-Cho's involvement, was filled with emotion, believing that whoever orchestrated such a grand scheme for the Uchiha Clan was truly formidable.

While such a strategy might not be considered groundbreaking in the wider world—rulers like Daimyo and nobles often employed similar tactics—it was a dimension-shattering blow in Konoha, a Ninja Village completely lacking specialized education in such matters, where most people preferred to think with their muscles, and political education was practically nonexistent.
