Chapter 10: Buy More Chests!
Shen Mo saw the fanaticism in this man.
And not just in him.
His two sons as well.
Sure enough.
Compared with someone like Tsunade, who was already powerful to begin with, weak people were more likely to become immersed in the desire for strength.
Shen Mo raised a hand, and another group of chests appeared.
"Please." He smiled as he directly accepted the money the other party handed over.
For Shen Mo, the more obsessed his customers became, the better.
Unable to restrain himself, Kitahara Yuki immediately opened the chests.
The items were taken out one by one.
This time, another Experience Pack appeared, containing training experience for a certain sword technique. Kitahara Yuki used it on himself without hesitation.
They were clearly memories of arduous training, yet his expression revealed indescribable enjoyment.
He was even so excited that his body trembled slightly.
That feeling of becoming stronger in an instant was an enormous temptation for an ambitious man like him.
"Sir, I want to continue!" He looked at Shen Mo with fanaticism and awe.
Shen Mo said nothing, merely waving his hand with a smile.
Continue opening chests!
A full twenty groups of Level 1 Chests were all opened in less than an hour.
The total price was ten million in the Naruto world's currency, which converted to six hundred thousand Trading Points.
It was already closing in on Tsunade's total.
Yet the Kitahara Family's wealth had only decreased by a very small portion.
"Congratulations, customer. You now qualify to open Level 2 Chests."
Shen Mo said these words unhurriedly for the second time.
"Level 2 Chests?" Kitahara Yuki seemed to realize something. He looked at Shen Mo expectantly.
"That's right." Shen Mo pointed at the items before him. "Only customers who have purchased a certain number of Level 1 Chests qualify to purchase higher-level chests. Surely you can see that although these Level 1 Chests contain many miraculous items, most of them aren't very valuable."
Not very valuable?
Kitahara Yuki's breathing became somewhat hurried.
Indeed.
Although these items were miraculous, they did not have much of an effect, and their enhancement of him was limited.
"Level 2 Chests cost five hundred thousand each." Shen Mo waved his hand, and ten larger chests appeared before him.
Chests at this price...
Selling one group would bring in three hundred thousand Trading Points.
This was the weapon that could truly drain the Kitahara Family dry.
"Five hundred thousand?"
Kitahara Yuki hesitated for an instant, because even for him, this price was not low.
But as he gazed at the miraculous items before him,
his heart grew hot again.
"Buy!" He took out five million and pushed it in front of Shen Mo. "Please give me one group."
"Trust me." Shen Mo cheerfully collected the large sum of money. "You won't regret it."
He truly would not regret it.
The third chest alone produced the same kind of item as before.
Experience.
Body Tempering Experience.
The difference was that its effect was ten times greater than before!
Kitahara Yuki only had to use it once to feel heat spread through his body. His originally old and feeble body suddenly bulged with muscle, becoming strong and powerful!
"This is simply a miracle!"
He looked at his body, feeling a flawless strength identical to what he would have gained through training himself.
His heart raced.
If I rely on these chests, could I surpass the ninjas?
"Ten times the price naturally means ten times the value." Shen Mo chuckled lightly, his voice seemingly carrying a hint of temptation. "If you open chests from the Medical Series, you might even find the Fountain of Youth and regain your youth."
"Gasp—" Kitahara Yuki sucked in a sharp breath.
But he did not doubt it.
Everything before him had already proven how miraculous these chests were.
His arms were even covered in goosebumps from his excitement.
"Sir." He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and looked at Shen Mo excitedly. "Are there even higher-level chests?"
The corners of Shen Mo's mouth curled into a smile, and he nodded lightly.
"Of course."
Kitahara Yuki's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
They burned with intense fervor.
After panting heavily and remaining silent for a moment,
he suddenly
pushed all the money on his side in front of Shen Mo.
"Father!" His eldest son was startled by the action. "That's all the money our family has!"
"Fool!" Kitahara Yuki kicked his son, veins bulging on his neck. "As long as we have strength! As long as we can regain our youth, so what if all the money and property of the entire Kitahara Family are gone? Everything will come back!"
Shen Mo's words about regaining his youth had truly stimulated him.
He had originally still been hesitating over leaving some property for his sons.
But now,
his ambition, restricted by his aptitude and abilities, was growing rapidly before the miracles displayed by these chests.
"These assets are worth a total of two hundred million." Shen Mo spoke unhurriedly. "That can purchase forty groups of Level 2 Chests. Which series would you like to purchase?"
"Can we only purchase Level 2 Chests?" Kitahara Yuki was stunned.
This was all the money their family had accumulated over several decades.
Even apart from those immovable assets,
even the gold hidden in his sleeves had been placed here.
"After purchasing fifty groups, you will qualify to purchase Level 3 Chests." Shen Mo smiled faintly. "Those are the rules."
The instant he spoke the final four words,
an abrupt
bone-chilling feeling swept through the hearts of the three people.
They would die.
If they broke the rules, they would definitely die!
Although the fear lasted only a brief moment, Kitahara Yuki discovered that his back was already completely drenched in sweat.
The awe in his gaze toward Shen Mo grew even stronger.
These miraculous chests were merely goods sold by the man before them. Just what kind of unimaginable existence was he himself?
Shen Mo was very satisfied with this look.
The effect of this Fear Descends was quite good.
He was now becoming more and more skilled at using disposable items to show off.
After Kitahara Yuki selected the chest series,
Shen Mo waved his hand.
Four hundred chests appeared densely before him.
"Then, the transaction is complete." Shen Mo bowed elegantly. He knew that the man before him had no money left. He then, as usual, handed him a Badge. "You are now a member of my Omniscient and Omnipotent Merchant Guild. If you need to purchase more chests in the future, you can notify me through the Badge."
"Thank you, sir."
Kitahara Yuki accepted the exquisite Badge with extreme solemnity.
"Then, I shall take my leave." After Shen Mo bowed once more,
with a soft bang, his entire body seemed to shatter and dissipate along with the invisible barrier around him. The strange sight made the three people present feel their scalps go numb.
But as they looked at the hundreds of chests before them,
they were filled with fanaticism once again.
What Kitahara Yuki did not know was that the value he had paid was enough to purchase a powerful ability. However, after Shen Mo had skimmed off four-fifths of it and the rest had been dispersed among countless useless chests,
what remained for strengthening his power would at most enhance him to barely the level of a Chunin.
When he discovered that even after paying all his wealth, he still was not particularly powerful,
would he regret it?
No.
He would buy more chests!
