As a transmigrator, Gong Yi had naturally pondered the existence of golden fingers or cheat codes.
However, in his one or two years of observation, he possessed no such cheat; the only thing special about him was his inherently vast mental energy.
After all, his actual mental age was over twenty.
After a brief moment of frustration, Gong Yi did not feel too disappointed, as his familiarity with the plot of the Naruto world could be considered the greatest cheat of all.
It was precisely because of this that he followed the arrangements of the Konoha Ninja Village step by step.
Entering the orphanage, moving into a residence in the outskirts of Konoha, then attending the Ninja Academy, and next, perhaps graduating as a genin to head to the battlefield.
In the end, he would either die on the battlefield or struggle to carve out a bloody path, roaring, "My fate is determined by me, not by the heavens!"
But now that the cheat had arrived, Gong Yi felt a bit excited.
"Ninja Scholar System? Come on, explain it to me—what exactly is a Ninja Scholar System!"
The system's voice echoed in his mind once more, indifferent and devoid of any emotional color.
"Being a ninja is a profession that requires constant learning. Since learning is required, scholars naturally exist."
Gong Yi smacked his lips, thinking of a few characters.
Sakura seemed to be a scholar-level ninja; well, purely in terms of academic completion.
Uchiha Itachi—no, Uchiha Itachi—could also be considered a scholar.
After all, he was proficient in ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu; to say he wasn't a good student would be a joke.
Wait, that's not right!
Gong Yi shook his head: "I told you to explain what a Ninja Scholar System is!"
"The so-called Ninja Scholar System is designed to help you solve various problems in the development of the ninja profession in the fastest, best, and most efficient way possible."
"No, explain it to me again—what is a Ninja Scholar System!"
"Host, what exactly are you trying to ask?"
Gong Yi bared his white teeth and chuckled: "Since it's a golden finger, there should be some benefits, right!"
"I apologize, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. No benefits will be provided to the host unless you complete corresponding tasks or increase your scholar rank."
Gong Yi curled his lip; so it was just a task-issuing center after all!
He had thought that with this system, he could activate "Musou" mode and crush the Naruto world.
Shaking his head, Gong Yi cast such thoughts of getting something for nothing out of his mind.
He was never the type to look for a free ride; he believed that for every bit of effort, there is a reward!
This was the fine traditional virtue of the Chinese people for thousands of years!
Gong Yi stared at the system in his mind, pondered for a long time, and carefully browsed his personal status.
His low physical constitution was within his expectations, as he was still young.
His mental energy was high, comparable to a jonin in this world, which was also expected.
If he were to follow the path of precise chakra control in the future, he would actually have great potential—at least he wouldn't be weaker than a ninja like Sakura Haruno.
However, his basic chakra attributes surprised Gong Yi; he actually possessed all five.
Most other rare attributes were formed through the fusion of basic attributes, with the exception of the strongest, Wood Release.
Although Wood Release was theoretically derived from Water and Earth, almost no one could use Wood Release ninjutsu except for the First Hokage.
Subsequent Wood Release users mostly relied on transplanted cells from the First.
In Gong Yi's view, the deepest reason for this might be that Divine Tree that would appear in the Fourth Great Ninja War!
These things were still too far away; as a rookie who hadn't even reached genin status, Gong Yi cared more about the system's other functions.
"System, what is a scholar rank, and what about these scholar skills?"
"Based on the number of research topics successfully completed by the host, the scholar rank can be increased. Ranks range from one to five; the higher the rank, the better the effect on the host's subsequent research. The scholar rank restricts the upper limit of scholar skills; rank one allows for three scholar skills. The host's current number of skills is zero!"
"Scholar skills are rewards given by this system for the number of tasks completed by the host. Each scholar skill is incredibly precious; please use them with caution!"
Gong Yi was thoughtful, and just as he was pondering, the system spoke again.
"System task preparation complete, now opening!"
"Main Quest: Become the God of the Ninja World!"
"Side Quest: The Indestructible Xiaoqiang."
Task Description for The Indestructible Xiaoqiang: The body is the capital of the revolution. The process of becoming a scholar will be full of various accidents, and an excellent physique will provide the host with the greatest support. Therefore, please strive to improve your physical fitness to unleash the full potential of this system! Please complete one thousand push-ups, five hundred sit-ups, and a thirty-thousand-meter run every day.
Gong Yi opened his mouth, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
After gaining some understanding of the system, he roughly grasped a few things.
The reason the Ninja Scholar System had only just activated was likely because he had finally cultivated chakra.
To study the ninja profession, chakra would undoubtedly be the foundation of foundations.
And to make full use of this system, vast mental energy and an excellent physical constitution were the elements that formed a stable triangle!
Thinking of this, Gong Yi no longer felt such dread toward the terrifying training volume of Xiaoqiang's missions.
Instead, he began to look forward to it.
Physical conditioning could provide a significant boost to taijutsu.
In the early stages of being a ninja, the constraints on chakra levels meant that high-damage ninjutsu could not be unleashed frequently.
Therefore, taijutsu would determine the outcome of a battle!
