In the clearing of this small forest, the time had already shifted from morning to afternoon.
A group of people sat on the grass.
Shen Mo sat cross-legged, holding a handful of delicious system-produced cat food. Hikari lay across his lap, licking up the pieces one by one. With her silly movements, adorable appearance, and warm, soft feel, she was an excellent cute pet for passing the time.
However, Shen Mo was not in the mood to pet a cat right now.
Tsunade was opening Chests before him, nervous and excited.
But as the GM,
Shen Mo was considering how to further increase the Chests' appeal and sense of anticipation.
So far, some people's anticipation for Chest Opening had only been built upon their own desires.
For example, Tsunade was hoping for resurrection.
Watching the look in Tsunade's eyes as she opened Chests, Shen Mo's thoughts raced.
Resurrection would have to be offered sooner or later.
Keeping her hanging was not a solution. Failing to get what she wanted for too long would only dampen her enthusiasm for opening Chests.
However, a new source of anticipation also had to be established quickly.
If this were a game, the items drawn would be things the players already had some understanding of within the game. That way, they would not be left bewildered, and they would look forward to using the items once they obtained them.
But this was not a game.
Then he would create the conditions found in games.
Shen Mo glanced at Sasuke and felt that his earlier approach had been correct. He had left Sasuke with an impression of the Sword Body, so even if Sasuke drew one in the future, he could continue along that line of thought.
To sell Chests endlessly, he had to cultivate anticipation.
"Shen Mo." Tsunade raised her head at that moment, holding up a small bottle. "What kind of pill is this?"
She had already opened all ten Chests. This was the only new pill among them, and she did not recognize it.
"A Youthful Pill." Shen Mo smiled as he explained. "One pill will preserve your appearance for a year. There should be two inside, right? After taking them, you will not need to use Chakra to maintain your youthful appearance for the next two years."
"Hiss—" Tsunade sucked in a breath, her face full of delight. "You even have pills like this?"
"Of course." Shen Mo seemed to imply something as he spoke. "Medicine Chests are a very broad category."
Sakura, who was watching from the side, was incredibly envious.
Even though she was only twelve years old.
As long as they were women, no one would dislike pills like these.
"Kakashi, this one is mine. Take whatever you want from the rest." Without another word, Tsunade swallowed one. Then she delightedly discovered that her skin seemed to have become more radiant. Even after withdrawing the Chakra she had used to maintain her youthful appearance, there was not the slightest sign of aging.
Even though she knew resurrection was not easy to obtain from Level 2 Chests, Tsunade was growing increasingly expectant.
Kakashi did not stand on ceremony either.
He took a bottle of medicine for treating injuries, as well as a box of Chakra-version Qi Replenishing Pills—the latter was more useful to him.
"Let's continue!" Tsunade looked at Shen Mo, clearly getting into the swing of things. Her eyes had even begun to redden slightly. "How much are all of my Ninjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu knowledge worth?"
"If it is only knowledge, rather than memories and experience..." Shen Mo glanced at the system. "It is probably enough to buy twenty-one sets of Level 2 Chests."
"Only that little?" Tsunade seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
Twenty-one sets meant roughly one hundred million yuan. She had previously thought her secret techniques would be very valuable.
"The truly valuable parts are the few Ninjutsu you created yourself, the Medical Ninjutsu you researched, and your unique practical experience." Shen Mo spread his hands. "The reason they are worth over one hundred million yuan is because you are the first to sell much of that knowledge to me. Otherwise, it could be reduced by seventy or eighty percent. Unless—you are willing to sell your memories as well. Then the price could be multiplied fourfold."
Knowledge known by many people was not valuable to begin with.
Unless it was sold along with the memories and practical experience of using it.
Kakashi could use that method.
After all, quite a few of his Ninjutsu were not particularly useful, especially the miscellaneous low-level ones. Only the memories and experience of using them could fetch a decent price.
"Whatever. Bring out the Chests." Tsunade began to regret not studying more things in the past.
Indeed, although she was known as a powerful Medical Ninja, not much of it had been researched by her personally. Many methods were things she had learned and then mastered through integration.
Among the Sannin, she probably knew the fewest Ninjutsu.
However, Tsunade quickly stopped dwelling on it. Regret was meaningless now. Looking at the Chests before her, she continued opening them with nervous anticipation.
Kakashi moved closer to Shen Mo.
"Lord Shen Mo, how much can all of my knowledge and experience be exchanged for?" Kakashi asked.
"If it is only knowledge, you would not be worth much more than Tsunade, since not much of it was created by you either. However..." Shen Mo suddenly looked at the eye concealed beneath Kakashi's forehead protector. "That eye alone is worth more than ninety million yuan."
Before Kakashi could speak, Sasuke cried out in surprise from beside him.
"What—!"
A single Sharingan was worth more than ninety million yuan?
It could buy nearly two hundred Level 2 Chests?
"Sasuke, Kakashi's eye is no ordinary Sharingan." Shen Mo chuckled.
The price of a Mangekyō Sharingan in the system was high, but not high enough to reach that extent.
The main reason was that Kamui could open an Other Dimension.
It possessed extremely high potential for expansion.
More importantly, unlike Devil Fruits or Professor X's Mutant Abilities, Sharingan abilities did not require a long period of independent development and growth. If not for the excessive energy consumption, the risk of blindness from overuse, and a series of other flaws, its value would be even higher.
Kakashi raised a hand and touched that eye.
The eye Obito had left him was actually this valuable.
"I cannot sell this eye." Kakashi shook his head and sighed. "Then there is no choice. I will sell all my Ninjutsu knowledge, along with the memories and experience of using some Ninjutsu. Do I need to list them out?"
"No." Shen Mo shook his head, revealing a mysterious smile. "In my transactions, as long as you agree to sell something that belongs to you, you need not concern yourself with the rest. I will handle everything."
Once Kakashi confirmed the transaction and Shen Mo gave him the Chests, the deal would be complete.
Shen Mo could extract them at any time, then hand them over to the system and decide whether to convert them into Trading Points.
"Truly amazing..." Kakashi muttered, though he did not forget to ask about the value. "How much would that be worth?"
"For only what you intend to sell now, around three hundred and ten million yuan," Shen Mo replied.
Kakashi was truly ruthless.
After selling them, the number of Ninjutsu known by this Copy Ninja would instantly drop to fewer than a hundred.
Shen Mo had originally estimated that selling all of Kakashi's Ninjutsu memories and unique usage experience would be worth around thirty million Trading Points. Now, however, it would directly be eighteen million Trading Points.
Only a few refined usage memories remained.
After this, common Ninjutsu in this world would basically no longer be worth anything.
However—
The profit from these two combined was enough for Professor X's Mutant Ability.
I spent too much time considering the values. Given how hard I worked, shouldn't you hurry up and hand over your recommendation votes?
