Double B-Rank Enhancement!

--Main God, heal everyone.

"Deduct the cost from my account."

The absurd plane crash did not occur; the aircraft ascended safely, and the East Sea Team returned successfully.

Two beams of light descended.

Suspended within them were the two withered figures, one on the left and one on the right, carried by Uchiha Xiu.

Within the healing radiance of the Main God, Kobayashi Yoshito clearly felt his flesh knitting back together and his genes being repaired.

Kitagawa Nacai, whose mental energy had been completely exhausted, saw the color rapidly returning to her pale face.

According to the captain, no matter how severe the injury, as long as one returned to the Great Light Sphere, it would never worsen and would lead to a swift recovery of consciousness.

[Request accepted. East Sea Team Captain Uchiha Xiu, 351 reward points deducted...]

A bit pricey, but worth it.

It wasn't about buying loyalty; since he had accepted these two rookies and they had both shown sufficient potential, Uchiha Xiu would absolutely be the qualified, good captain he promised to be, rather than a penny-pincher.

Right now, he had over twenty thousand points sitting in his account!

Time to eat his fill in one go.

"Congratulations. Although unlocking the first stage of the Gene Lock causes massive side effects the first time, every time you endure it, your physical fitness will improve."

"As the number of times you open it increases, the side effects will gradually vanish until only the positive effect of enhancing your physical fitness remains."

"For an A-rank level enhancement, you can exert twenty to thirty percent of its potential."

As Kobayashi Yoshito's feet touched the ground, he immediately heard the captain's thoughtful explanation.

The more he learned, the more he supported him!

"Thank you for your care..."

Subconsciously, the underlying code etched into the bones of a Japanese person was triggered, and the salaryman bowed deeply.

If Uchiha Xiu had need of it, he would have performed a dogeza.

"Forget it. I've said it before... the East Sea Team I lead has only one goal: to support each other until we reach the end of the reincarnation cycle and clear the final team battle."

"There is no need for partners to bow back and forth or repeat empty pleasantries. Just focus on working hard to become stronger."

"Yes!" Kobayashi Yoshito straightened up and nodded.

At this moment, Uchiha Xiu continued to instruct:

"Hurry and use your existing resources to strengthen your chosen Soul Bender path. The higher the degree of strengthening, the better you will be able to adapt to the Gene Lock."

"..." Kitagawa Nacai looked blank.

Am I useless? The healer fell into deep self-doubt.

The captain had said before that unlocking the Gene Lock was very difficult, yet a carefree guy like Kobayashi had managed to do it just like that.

Was it because the pressure she faced as a support wasn't enough?

Or perhaps, she lacked talent.

"There is a gap even within the first stage. Some have a solid foundation—for example, the assassin Zhao Yingkong. Without any spatial enhancement, her fingernails can slice through steel, she can dismember people with her bare hands in close combat, and she can rely on her reflexes and intuition to dodge shots from a silenced pistol the moment the gunman pulls the trigger."

"As for the average shut-in, after unlocking the Gene Lock, they can at most match a special forces soldier."

Uchiha Xiu, his thoughts racing, looked at the team's healer. Sensing her dejection, he suppressed his thoughts and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be in such a hurry to deny yourself; you will open it sooner or later."

"Whether it's sooner or later doesn't make much difference—it's all a matter of life and death in a split second."

Because he was reluctant to let his team members fall into path dependency, he chose to temporarily keep quiet about the two shortcuts: the T-Virus and Dragon Blood Essence.

"Thank you, Captain. The next world we descend into is The Mummy... I will definitely do my best!"

Out of absolute trust, Kitagawa Nacai took his words to heart. Her inner turmoil eased, and she began to browse through the next level of Saint enhancements to pick a suitable skill to learn.

Everyone became immersed in their mental connection with the Great Light Sphere.

--Main God, list my gains.

"East Sea Team Captain Uchiha Xiu, currently holds 2 B-rank side story quests, 2 C-rank side story quests, and 21,641 reward points."

A massive amount of data!

That was a satisfying haul~

--Query the best double B-rank exchange for the evolution of my Sharingan that is compatible with Hashirama Cells.

The answer appeared instantly:

Intermediate Indra Power, rating 92. After exchange, you will obtain a portion of pure Yin Release power at the Indra level, significantly increasing mental energy and cell vitality, causing the Sharingan to evolve.

Note 1: The Sharingan is the mirror of the heart. Without strong emotional guidance, the awakening of ocular techniques is random; it will instead be influenced by inner obsessions.

Note 2: The exchanger must possess the Uchiha Bloodline and have awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan.

[Uchiha Xiu, you have met the prerequisites for this enhancement.]

Does obsession lead to the awakening of the eyes?

When it came to romance, Uchiha Xiu prided himself on being quite open-minded.

Before transmigrating, he had encountered countless girls he wanted to "protect" on short-video platforms—mere acquaintances through likes—and in reality, thanks to his modeling career, he had dated many beautiful girlfriends of every imaginable style.

Admittedly, he would feel down after every breakup, but it never reached the level of Uchiha Obito—

I will create a world where only Rin exists.

A Zheng Xingxing-style childhood sweetheart or an unattainable "white moonlight"?

He had none of those either.

Family affection?

Sorry, he was an orphan.

It is worth mentioning that when Uchiha Xiu was struck by the truck, his mobile browser history was squeaky clean; after all, he didn't need to watch adult films to satisfy his physiological needs, nor did he have the hobby of recording private videos with his girlfriends.

"But, people always have seven emotions and six desires. The Intermediate Indra Power must be able to channel some emotion, which in turn will become a Mangekyo ocular technique to make up for my regrets."

The Kamui dimension was formed when Obito saw the girl he loved most in his life have her heart pierced by his best friend, Kakashi. His love and friendship collapsed in an instant, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, to leave a world filled with lies and falsehoods.

Itachi's Amaterasu was born out of rage.

Kotoamatsukami stemmed from the idealist Shisui, who tried to find a balance between his clan and the village. Alas, the grievances were too deep, and reality did not shift according to individual will, until the Mangekyo appeared, birthing the strongest genjutsu capable of rewriting another person's will!

"My obsessions: one is regarding the Uchiha Clan; I truly want to protect those innocent, elderly, weak, and moderate clansmen."

"The other is to become stronger. In the twisted Ninja World, I craved power, and even more so after arriving in the Main God Space."

"However, can the Intermediate Indra Power, exchanged for two B-rank side quests and eight thousand points, push my Two-Tomoe Sharingan across the threshold of the Mangekyo in one go?"

Clearly, Uchiha Xiu was tempted.

The only thing that could stand on par with the modified Hashirama Cells in his body was Indra!

Moreover, the Main God was very considerate; this exchange ensured that he would not have his personal thoughts rewritten by the Indra will of Sage of Six Paths level, nor would he walk down the so-called path of destiny, and it certainly wouldn't attract the attention of the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

This sealed off any backdoors for anyone to pry into his secrets after he returned to the Ninja World.

"Main God..."

"Exchange for one portion of Intermediate Indra Power."

Well-versed in the art of going all-in, Uchiha Xiu closed his eyes.

A magnificent pillar of light descended!

The commotion immediately drew the gazes of the other two people present; Naicai instinctively wondered what level of enhancement could be so dazzling.

At the same time, Uchiha Xiu, sitting cross-legged, entered a state of introspection. He saw the situation within his body clearly: deep within his genes, a pair of blood-red eyes seemed to emerge, and a black, cold hexagram pattern slowly rotated.

An aura of Yin Release erupted violently, seemingly possessing a consciousness of its own, urgently wanting to change the state of Yin-Yang imbalance!

Yet, just like before, this bloodline evolution was not intense—the Main God, whose price is fair and who never cheats customers, provided the no-side-effect option as requested.

Within his pupils, the two-tomoe Sharingan spun faster and faster...
