"Damn it!" Tsunade raised her fist, clearly somewhat annoyed.

But seeing Shen Mo's innocent expression, she still lowered her hand.

This was when the benefits of his earlier "working man" explanation became apparent.

No matter how bad the luck was, it had nothing to do with him.

"You still have more, right? I mean jars from this medical series." Tsunade glared fiercely at Shen Mo. She felt a surge of frustration pressing against her chest, and she had to open more jars to vent it.

"Of course." Shen Mo nodded.

He was secretly overjoyed.

He knew this feeling all too well.

The better the things one got, the more one wanted to open.

"Shizune." Tsunade gulped down a huge mouthful of wine and waved her hand. "Pay him!"

"Lady Tsunade." Shizune's faint voice came over. "We're already out of money."

"What?" Tsunade blinked, looking somewhat dumbfounded.

"Have you forgotten how much you lost yesterday?" Shizune's face was full of resentment.

Shen Mo was somewhat stunned as well.

Apart from the two free ones, they had only opened eight jars just now, totaling merely four hundred thousand.

Converted into Trading Points, that was only around twenty-four thousand.

And they were already out of money?

A renowned medical ninja, one of Konoha's Legendary Sannin, the Princess of the Senju Clan, and she only had this much money?

"Haha, hahahaha." Tsunade laughed awkwardly a few times, then slammed her palm onto the floor with a bang. Leaning forward, she moved close to Shen Mo and said viciously, "Put it on credit!"

Shen Mo's expression immediately darkened. "My apologies, but this is a small business. No credit."

What a joke. Tsunade might have decent gambling manners, but she had far too many gambling debts.

Just look at those miserable debt collectors in the original story.

They did not even know Tsunade had repaid them—just how many years had they been chasing her?

"Hey, hey, don't be so stingy." Tsunade casually patted Shen Mo's shoulders twice, her strength astonishingly great. "Do you know who I am? Tsunade, one of Konoha's Sannin, understand? Are you worried I'll borrow money and refuse to repay it?"

You won't refuse to repay it, but you'll wait several years before doing so.

Shen Mo did not voice that complaint. He merely shook his head firmly.

No room for negotiation!

He was not worried that Tsunade would fly into a rage and give him a little punch or something. How about a Vajra Body Protection Talisman from the cultivation world?

"Tch." Tsunade pouted in dissatisfaction.

She would not go so far as to seize things by force, but being unable to continue opening jars because she had no money felt rather unpleasant.

"Even so, you can exchange other items," Shen Mo added. "Knowledge, objects, anything from any field will do, but I'll determine the value."

"Oh?" Tsunade seemed to regain some interest. "You'll determine it? What if it's something you don't understand? How will you determine its value?"

"I naturally have my ways." A mysterious smile curved Shen Mo's lips. "I guarantee a fair valuation. If you disagree, you don't have to trade."

This was another benefit of the system.

Free appraisal.

As long as something was confirmed to be a trade item, it would not only provide a value, but also identify some of its contents.

"Shizune, show him the spoils from last time."

Tsunade crossed her arms and spoke to Shizune, putting special emphasis on the words "spoils."

Though this man's products were indeed astonishing.

The man himself was an ordinary person without Chakra and with slack muscles. She could still be certain of that.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade." Shizune got up and left. A short while later, she returned carrying several items.

Although Tsunade had already left Konoha.

There was still no shortage of people who came to provoke her.

These scrolls were spoils taken from those ninjas.

Ninjutsu, tools.

How could someone who was not a ninja possibly determine their value?

And Shen Mo.

He raised two fingers before his brow and said:

"We possess an ability called the All-Knowing All-Seeing Eye."

As he spoke, a golden pattern slowly emerged at the center of his forehead amid flowing light, an indescribable aura spreading outward.

Tsunade's mocking expression froze on her face.

What was this?

She looked at the pattern on Shen Mo's forehead. It seemed to resemble an eye, but merely staring directly at it made even her feel a faint sting.

Shizune, overwhelmed by an indescribable emotion, instinctively lowered her head.

Nobility.

Even without knowing what it was, she could sense an aura of supreme nobility.

It could not be looked upon directly, nor could it be disrespected.

Tsunade had never seen or heard of such an eye pattern before. And what had this man just said? The All-Knowing All-Seeing Eye?

Shen Mo took in both their expressions.

Quite satisfied.

If a modern person saw this pattern, they would probably recognize what it was.

The Eye of Agamotto.

The one hanging around Doctor Strange's neck.

However, Shen Mo had merely spent a full twenty-five thousand Trading Points through the Trading System to customize something that only looked the part. Emitting a faint, noble, mysterious aura was its only function.

Though it was not cheap, it was well worth it.

This was also an "excuse," an excuse for why he could determine the value of items. He could even reveal abilities such as "Future Sight" during certain verbal exchanges.

"Three Ninjutsu scrolls." Shen Mo pretended to inspect the items and read out the appraisal results given by the system. "They are respectively the C-Class Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall, the C-Class Earth Style: Earth Release Bullet, and the B-Class Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave. The B-Class Ninjutsu also comes with notes on Ninjutsu written by a Jonin. Among those tools, only one is an Elite Tool. Their total value is approximately three million six hundred thousand."

These were worth over two hundred thousand Trading Points in the system.

That was even more than Shen Mo had expected.

But it made sense.

B-Class Ninjutsu was already considered powerful in this world, and usually only Jonin could master some.

Once it reached A-Class, the price would rise sharply, since most of them were closely guarded secrets.

"You didn't even open them to look?" Tsunade gave Shen Mo a deep look. After a moment of silence, she suddenly removed the necklace from around her neck. "How much is this necklace worth?"

"Lady Tsunade, that is..." Shizune could not help crying out beside her.

However, Tsunade did not reply. She did not even look at her, only stared intently at Shen Mo.

Her gaze seemed filled with deep sorrow.

An ominous necklace.

Shen Mo looked at the necklace, which was tied with a cord and appeared to be made of some kind of ore, and information about it surfaced in his mind.

A relic of the First Hokage.

A Chakra Crystal that reacted only to the First Hokage's Chakra.

Tsunade had once given it to her younger brother, Senju Nawaki. Nawaki died the very next day, and in an especially miserable manner.

Later, she gave it to her lover, Dan Katō. Dan Katō died as well, with even his kidneys blown away.

Thus, Tsunade called this necklace the "Death Necklace."

So, how should he answer?
