Enhancement

Because the small wooden cabin had considerable defensive and privacy capabilities, Xu Yue was not in a hurry to leave. According to the Space's rules, at Xu Yue's current Second Lieutenant rank, he could remain in Reincarnation Space for seven days after completing each mission, then return to the real world for half a month.

When returning to the real world, he could not reveal information about the Space or use items from the Space. Items brought out would be sealed and become blank items until he entered Mission Space again. Only under special circumstances could items be brought into the real world for use.

However, his own abilities would not become invalid. It was just that using them casually in the real world would deduct Reincarnation Points according to the extent of use. If he did not have enough points, he would have to mortgage items; if he lacked items, he would mortgage skills; if he lacked skills, he would mortgage his lifespan.

Within Reincarnation Space, no matter how long a mission lasted, only an instant would pass. However, all other time was fully synchronized with the real world, meaning he would undertake a mission roughly once every twenty-some days.

This was only because Xu Yue had reached the Second Lieutenant permission level. According to the initial display, the Recruit title only granted one day in Reincarnation Space and a three-day interval in the real world.

Moreover, after reaching Second Lieutenant rank, he could choose to enter and leave Reincarnation Space whenever he wished, as long as he ensured that he did not stay in Reincarnation Space for more than seven days.

Based on this pattern, missions were frequent in the early stages to conduct high-frequency selection. Once one reached a certain level, however, the intervals before entering Mission Space would be controlled.

"Open the auction house."

At Xu Yue's command, a huge menu appeared before him inside the originally crude and primitive wooden cabin, like a holographic projection, brimming with a futuristic feel.

'Public Auction House'

It looked somewhat similar to the in-game auction houses Xu Yue had encountered before. It was directly divided into numerous category menus, with bidding prices and optional buyout prices.

Since the prices were publicly visible, the price differences between items generally would not be too great. The market fluctuated directly according to supply and demand.

In Xu Yue's eyes, this was also the most suitable option for a newcomer like him who was unfamiliar with prices.

However, he needed his current Second Lieutenant rank to access it. Although Xu Yue did not yet know how difficult it was to earn merit, his performance during the rookie mission could absolutely be described as one of a kind.

Ordinary newcomers clearly would not receive such treatment.

After opening the auction house interface, Xu Yue first searched for the hottest-selling items. Due to their high transaction volume and quantity, supply and demand had already reached equilibrium, so the prices of popular items could generally serve as market indicators.

They were the equivalent of everyday necessities in the real world.

Beginner Training Room 7-Day Pass: Grants seven days of access to the Beginner Training Room upon use. Time spent in the training room does not count toward the interval between missions. Its time and space are independent, equivalent to Mission Space. Users also receive the 'Beginner Training' bonus while training. Requirement: Corporal.

Note: The higher the permission level, the more days one may use. Corporals have a maximum usage limit of seven days.

This best-selling training pass had consistently fluctuated around 1,000 Reincarnation Points.

Training passes were also sold in the direct exchange menu of Reincarnation Space, at a fixed price of 1,200 points. No matter how much they sold for at the auction house, the direct-purchase shop always had one fixed price.

This should be the most basic benchmark and reference.

"The training room has a time advantage and also boosts training results. This should be the most basic and reliable way to improve strength. If everything is judged by the basic rewards, then the basic reward for one mission is probably equivalent to seven days in the training room. Since the doubled physical attribute bonus is removed after the second mission, those seven days of training should still be fairly valuable."

After this thought flashed through his mind, Xu Yue gained a point of reference. After consulting the Space about his permissions, he learned that at Second Lieutenant rank, he could use a maximum of three Beginner Training Room 7-Day Passes during the interval after each mission.

After selecting the 'Watch' option, Xu Yue temporarily skipped it and began browsing other popular items.

Medical Kit: Possesses one-time spatial storage capacity. Items taken out cannot be put back in. Includes: emergency hemostatic bandage ×3, hemostatic spray ×1, adrenaline ×1, Oral Platelet Capsule ×1, universal antivenom ×1, broad-spectrum Antibiotics ×1, auxiliary medical equipment set ×1, compressed nutritional rations ×10.

Each item could be selected with a finger to view its detailed description. Xu Yue also discovered that these standard-issue items produced by the Space indeed had many advantages unavailable in ordinary items.

Leaving aside the Oral Platelet Capsule, a piece of Black Technology capable of stopping internal bleeding, even the hemostatic spray and bandages were more effective than anything from the era before Xu Yue had transmigrated.

They could practically count as one or even several extra lives. As long as one did not die directly in battle, they could almost always be saved afterward.

Their price was likewise not low, fluctuating around 1,000 Reincarnation Points.

Looking at the other items, it became clear that Reincarnation Points had considerable purchasing power.

The standard Ninja Tool Bag required by ninjas cost only 50 Reincarnation Points, though it did not include Explosive Tags.

A single Explosive Tag cost 200 points. Its power was far lower than a C4 Grenade of the same price, but it won out in portability and versatility. Both types of single-use explosives could be called miraculous tools for turning the tables.

A Sealing Scroll capable of storing items at one time also cost 200 each, and sold extremely well.

Among the high-volume items, there were even firearms and ammunition.

A handgun cost only 50 to 200 points depending on its make and type.

Assault rifles cost 100 to 500 points.

They were relatively cheap. Only sniper rifles were comparatively expensive, starting at 1,000 points, while bullets cost 10 points apiece.

However, every firearm was marked with a note stating that their power would be weakened or restricted in many missions.

Even so, these affordable and effective items were absolutely the most cost-efficient route for newcomers.

Beginner Firearm Mastery (Handgun)

Beginner Firearm Mastery (Assault Rifle)

These two skill books cost only 500 points each. However, when it came to skills, the Space seemed rather stingy. The direct-purchase shop only offered beginner skills and skills at the level of D-Rank Ninjutsu.

Higher-level skills apparently had to be acquired through Mission Space, which caused skill scroll prices in the auction house to become wildly polarized—cheap ones were dirt cheap, while expensive ones were absurdly expensive.

This vaguely made Xu Yue realize that, at least in the early stages, a considerable number of Reincarnators he encountered would definitely use guns.

However, Xu Yue already possessed the Sage Body and the Sharingan, Kekkei Genkai potentials that were practically cheats. He certainly would not rashly change his path, especially when it was not worthwhile at his current stage.

The extra reward gained from his first mission was not bad either, enough for a comprehensive improvement.

Afterward, Xu Yue searched for what concerned him most at present.

Search query: Sharingan

Sharingan (Single Tomoe), quantity: none, price: none.

The first option that appeared surprised Xu Yue somewhat. According to the Space's rules, one had to start from the lowest-level Single Tomoe Sharingan to use the Sharingan. It now seemed that due to the Uchiha Clan's protection of minors, obtaining one was not easy.

However, after seeing the information below, Xu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Sharingan (Two-Tomoe Sharingan), quantity: 178, latest transaction price: one C-Rank Plot, 2,000 Reincarnation Points. Note: Requires possession of a Sharingan (Single Tomoe). Advancement requires payment of one B-Rank Plot and 2,000 Reincarnation Points as upgrade costs.

Seeing this, Xu Yue could not help finding it strange. The upgrade cost was even more expensive than the Sharingan itself.

As for the number of Sharingan available, Xu Yue was not too surprised. The number of people in Reincarnation Space was there for all to see. With Single Tomoe Sharingan being scarce, those Two-Tomoe Sharingan accidentally obtained by people who had entered the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War had accumulated. This quantity was not exaggerated.

Because supply and demand were unbalanced, this should be the cheapest item among those of the same grade.

Sure enough, when Xu Yue tried to purchase one and checked the details, he discovered that the current price was already the lowest price allowed for items of this grade in the auction house.

Looking further up, there were also quite a few Three Tomoe Sharingan, but their minimum price required one B-Rank Plot and 4,000 Reincarnation Points, while upgrading one required an A-Rank Plot.

He would have to give up on that for now.

Without hesitation, Xu Yue purchased a Two-Tomoe Sharingan. With a flash of light, his Reincarnation Points and Plot rewards were deducted. Then, a pair of eerie eyes soaked in an unknown solution inside a transparent container appeared in Xu Yue's hands.

Convenient, fast, delivered instantly.

"Upgrade."

Sharingan (Two-Tomoe Sharingan) upgrade. Consumes one B-Rank Plot and 2,000 Reincarnation Points. Confirm?

"Confirm."

A cool sensation spread through his eyes, and his already exceptional vision seemed to receive another boost.

As long as he focused, he could seemingly count every beat of a fly's wings with ease.

Sharingan (Two-Tomoe Sharingan): Gains a significant boost to dynamic vision (technique analysis), significant resistance against Illusion Techniques, a certain enhancement to Illusion Techniques, and the ability to temporarily copy conventional movements...

"So that's how it is. It only has a temporary copying effect. No wonder the Sharingan isn't highly regarded. The Space really won't let people exploit loopholes."

Based on the Sharingan's description in Naruto, the Two-Tomoe level could already copy ordinary ninjutsu. But clearly, the Space—which charged so much even for an upgrade—would not let people take advantage of such a loophole.

Even if he copied a ninjutsu, he would probably only be able to use it once temporarily. It might even be too unpracticed to achieve the intended effect, or he might need to spend additional points to learn it.

Even so, compared to the Single Tomoe Sharingan, the current Two-Tomoe version already offered a considerable boost. Setting aside its Illusion Technique enhancement, the technique analysis mentioned in the notes alone could play a huge role in ordinary combat.

He could clearly capture his opponent's techniques, flaws, and trajectories, allowing him to respond accordingly. Defeating the strong while weak was not impossible.

Having upgraded one of his greatest trump cards, Xu Yue naturally shifted his attention to the Sage Body. However, after consulting the Space, he learned that because he had already fused with the cells, improving the Sage Body did not require any additional materials.

But the cost was directly twice that of upgrading the Sharingan. It required two B-Rank Plot rewards and 4,000 points to advance to the intermediate level.

Clearly, he could not improve it this time. Still, having something to look forward to and work toward left Xu Yue fairly satisfied.

After all, while the Two-Tomoe and Three Tomoe Sharingan could be purchased directly, obtaining the Mangekyō Sharingan was far more troublesome. Perhaps the Sage Body would surpass it later...

Ahhh, please support the new book and send it some votes.

The contract has been mailed out again. There shouldn't be any problems this week, really~
