Buy More Chests!

Shen Mo saw the fanaticism in the man.

And not just him.

His two sons as well.

Sure enough.

Compared to someone like Tsunade, who was already powerful, the weak were more easily consumed by the desire for strength.

With a raise of his hand, Shen Mo produced another set of chests.

"Please." Smiling, he directly took the money the man handed over.

To Shen Mo, the more obsessed his customers became, the better.

Unable to restrain himself, Kitahara Yuki immediately began opening the chests.

One item after another was taken out.

This time, another Experience Pack appeared, containing training experience for a certain sword technique. Kitahara Yuki used it himself right away.

Though they were memories of grueling training, he wore an expression of utter enjoyment.

He was so excited that his body even trembled slightly.

For an ambitious man like him, the sensation of becoming stronger in an instant was unimaginably tempting.

"Sir, I want to continue!" He looked at Shen Mo with both fanaticism and reverence.

Shen Mo said nothing, merely smiling as he waved his hand.

Continue opening chests!

A full twenty sets of Level 1 Chests were opened in less than an hour.

The total price came to ten million in Naruto world currency, equivalent to six hundred thousand Trading Points.

He was already closing in on Tsunade.

Yet the Kitahara Family's wealth had only diminished by a small fraction.

"Congratulations, customer. You now qualify to open Level 2 Chests."

For the second time, Shen Mo said those words in an unhurried manner.

"Level 2 Chests?" Kitahara Yuki seemed to realize something as he looked at Shen Mo expectantly.

"Correct." Shen Mo pointed at the items before them. "Only customers who have purchased a certain number of Level 1 Chests qualify to buy higher-level chests. I believe you have noticed as well that while these Level 1 Chests contain quite a few miraculous items, most of them are not particularly valuable."

Not particularly valuable?

Kitahara Yuki's breathing quickened.

Indeed.

Although these items were miraculous, their effects were not especially great, and they offered him limited enhancement.

"Each Level 2 Chest costs five hundred thousand." With a wave of Shen Mo's hand, ten larger chests appeared before them.

Chests at this price point.

Selling one set would earn three hundred thousand Trading Points.

This was the true weapon for draining the Kitahara Family dry.

"Five hundred thousand..."

Kitahara Yuki hesitated for a moment. Even for him, that price was not low.

But as he looked at the miraculous items before him.

His heart grew hot again.

"Buy!" He took out five million and pushed it before Shen Mo. "Please give me one set."

"Trust me." Shen Mo cheerfully collected the massive sum. "You will not regret it."

And indeed, he would not regret it.

The third chest alone yielded something identical to what had appeared before.

Experience.

Body Tempering Experience.

The difference was that its effect was ten times greater than before!

The moment Kitahara Yuki used it, he felt his body grow hot. His aged, frail body actually swelled with muscle, becoming powerful and strong!

"This is simply a miracle!"

He looked at his body and felt that flawless sensation, the exact same feeling as strength he had built through training himself.

His heartbeat accelerated.

If he relied on these chests, he could do it. He could surpass ninja!

"A tenfold price naturally brings tenfold value." Shen Mo chuckled softly, his voice seeming to carry a trace of temptation. "If you open chests from the Medical Series, you may even obtain the Fountain of Youth and regain your youth."

"Hiss—" Kitahara Yuki sucked in a sharp breath.

But he did not doubt it.

Everything before him had already proven how miraculous these chests were.

Even his arms were covered in goosebumps from excitement.

"Sir." He seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Shen Mo excitedly. "Are there even higher-level chests?"

A smile curled across Shen Mo's lips as he nodded gently.

"Of course."

Kitahara Yuki's eyes instantly turned red.

Filled with intense emotion.

He panted heavily, then fell silent for a moment.

Then suddenly.

He pushed all the money on his side toward Shen Mo.

"Father!" His eldest son was startled by the gesture. "That's all our family's money!"

"Idiot!" Kitahara Yuki kicked his son, veins bulging on his neck. "As long as we have strength! As long as I can regain my youth, what does it matter if all the Kitahara Family's money and businesses are gone? Everything will come back!"

Shen Mo's words about regaining youth had truly stirred him.

He had originally been hesitating over whether to leave some assets for his sons.

But now.

The ambition within him, the ambition constrained by his talent and ability, rapidly swelled before the miracles displayed by these chests.

"These assets are worth two hundred million in total," Shen Mo said unhurriedly. "They can purchase forty sets of Level 2 Chests. Which series would you like to buy?"

"I can only buy Level 2 Chests?" Kitahara Yuki was stunned.

This was all the wealth his family had accumulated over many years.

Even aside from their fixed assets.

Even the gold hidden in their sleeves was all here.

"After purchasing fifty sets, you will qualify to buy Level 3 Chests." Shen Mo smiled faintly. "Those are the rules."

The instant he spoke those final four words.

Abruptly.

A bone-chilling feeling swept through the hearts of all three men.

They would die.

If they broke the rules, they would definitely die!

Though the fear lasted only a brief moment, Kitahara Yuki discovered that his back was already completely soaked with sweat.

His gaze toward Shen Mo became even more reverent.

Those miraculous chests were merely goods sold by the man before him. Just what kind of unimaginable existence was he himself?

Shen Mo was very satisfied with that look.

The effect of that Fear Descends was fairly good.

By now.

He was becoming increasingly skilled at using one-time items to put on a show.

After Kitahara Yuki decided on the chest series.

Shen Mo waved his hand.

Four hundred chests densely appeared before them.

"Then the transaction is complete." Shen Mo bowed elegantly. He knew the man before him had no money left. Then, as usual, he handed over a Badge. "You are now a member of my Omniscient and Omnipotent Merchant Guild. If you need to purchase chests in the future, you may use this Badge to notify me."

"Thank you, sir."

Kitahara Yuki accepted the exquisite Badge with the utmost 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 like an invisible barrier around him. The strange sight made the scalps of the three present tingle.

But as they looked at the hundreds of chests before them.

They were filled with fanaticism once more.

What Kitahara Yuki did not know was that the value he had paid was enough to buy a powerful ability. Yet after Shen Mo skimmed off four-fifths of it, and it was further diluted among countless useless chests.

What remained for strengthening him would, at best, raise him only to the level of a barely qualified Chunin.

When he discovered that even after spending all his wealth, he still was not truly powerful.

Would he regret it?

No.

He would buy more chests!
