Many Prizes, Fei Shi's Plans

ﾍ(;´Д｀ﾍ)

Tsunade's mouth watered at the corners.

"Ahem."

Shizune coughed a few times to remind her. Realizing she had lost her composure, Tsunade coughed again to mask her embarrassment. She then looked at Fei Shi with a stern expression and said:

"Little brother, you are still young. Having too much money will hinder your growth and make you lose your goal in life. So, let me keep this gold for you. I'll save it for when you grow up and need to get married."

I don't believe a word of that! You're just greedy for my wealth.

Fei Shi complained inwardly. He couldn't understand how, in such a short time, Tsunade had come to treat him like her own brother. It felt overly intimate, and she didn't even blush while taking his money.

"System, what is going on?"

"Ding. Host, this is an item you signed in for before your mother passed away: the Affection Card. It makes members of your clan feel favorably toward you and increases their trust. The effect is doubled for those with blood relations. You used it casually."

"So, after losing her brother and lover, she met me—someone with a blood connection. Once she accepted me in her heart, she started seeing me as a younger brother. And because of the Affection Card, her favorability doubled, making her view me just like her own brother, Nawaki?"

"Bingo. This kid's been sharp since he was little. ಡωಡ"

"What the hell, what is this?"

"Self-sabotage."

"You're pretty cheeky, aren't you? Can you tone it down?"

"Hey, I'm feeling bored, just teasing the host." ~(￣▽￣~)~

(눈_눈)

You'd better tone it down. My money is all gone.

"Ding. Congratulations to the host for obtaining... one million points... three yuan... a rusty kunai (with tetanus effect)..."

What the hell is this three yuan?! You trash system!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining five hundred million... one hundred thousand points... Rinnegan Three-Time Trial Card (Sasuke)... a set of kitchenware... a copy of Young A-Bing."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten million points... Flame-Flame Fruit... five million points... three million points."

Whoa, good stuff! ^o^/ System, I love you!

At noon, Tsunade took Shizune and Fei Shi out for a feast. They ordered only the most expensive items, without a hint of hesitation. Under Fei Shi's disgruntled gaze, she paid the bill with his gold.

That afternoon, just as Fei Shi expected, after Tsunade finished paying off her debts, she went straight back to gambling. Fei Shi wanted to play too, so he left with Shizune, used a Transformation Jutsu, and returned to the casino. He played high-low, and with the blessing of the Super Lucky Card, he successfully made it onto the blacklist of every casino in Tanzaku Town by the end of the afternoon.

This left Tsunade feeling incredibly envious.

Two hundred million earned in a single afternoon!

Then the money was swiped away again, leaving only ten million. I suppose she still has a conscience, Fei Shi muttered to himself.

As the days passed, Fei Shi's bloodline power continued to rise. He believed that in a few more years, his Byakugan would reach its peak, and he wouldn't go blind even if he awakened the Mangekyou. After all, his bloodline power was currently evolving toward Indra's lineage; he didn't need an Eternal Mangekyou.

That day's haul had been massive. He had drawn all sorts of items that didn't exist in the Ninja World: Devil Fruits, game equipment and abilities, summoning beasts, resurrection cards, and so on. Of course, most of it was points. At first, it was fine, only getting a million every two or three draws. Later on, every draw guaranteed points, and never less than ten million. This was the result of using Enhancement Cards to continuously upgrade the Super Lucky Card along the way.

After twenty-four and a half hours of drawing, Fei Shi could say he was practically invincible. But that would take the fun out of life, so he didn't push himself to the absolute limit.

Occasionally using a cheat to keep his opponents pinned to the ground with one hand was enough.

"Sister Tsunade, can you help me buy some land?"

Tsunade, who was drinking in frustration over her gambling losses, froze.

"Why do you want to buy land?"

"To farm."

"Aren't you a ninja?"

"Is there a conflict?"

"..."

"Fine, no conflict. But do you even know how to farm? You're still so small."

"I can hire people. I discovered a magical type of rice seed; it's taller than ordinary rice and has more grains. It must be a new variety formed by the natural cross-breeding of two different types of rice. I happened to collect some seeds, so I want to buy land and try planting them. If they're better than other rice, I can slowly promote them. Not only can I make money, but I can also help ordinary people fill their stomachs. Haha, maybe I can even bring peace to the Ninja World, becoming someone comparable to my grandfather and great-uncle who ended the Warring States period."

Tsunade clearly didn't believe him: "You think a single type of rice can end war? Don't dream, you brat."

Fei Shi found it amusing. You don't know, but this is the ultimate weapon that solved the food crisis in my previous life's motherland.

"The wars in the Ninja World happen because of the imbalance of resources among many countries. The Land of Fire possesses the richest resources, which is why it is targeted by multiple countries and ninja villages every time."

"I know that, but what does that have to do with this rice?"

"If—and I mean if—this rice really has a high yield and can be promoted on a large scale, then the people will have more surplus grain left over after paying their taxes. They will also know that the more they produce, the more they get to keep. We can have the ninja villages coordinate with the Daimyo to keep the tax rate unchanged."

"This way, if the people have grain, it's equivalent to having money. If the people have money, it's equivalent to the country having money. If a country is wealthy, it doesn't need to solve resource shortages through war; it can just buy what it needs. And there's more..."

Over an hour passed, and Fei Shi's throat was parched. Tsunade sat in her original spot, her expression dazed.

After a while, Tsunade finally spoke slowly: "According to what you're saying, there won't be any more wars in the future?"

Fei Shi drank a bowl of water to moisten his throat before speaking: "If mass production can be achieved, it's possible. Furthermore, through experimentation, we can continue to improve the strain to be cold and drought-resistant, allowing it to be grown anywhere in the world."

Tsunade nodded thoughtfully, then grabbed Fei Shi's head and said, "I really want to crack your skull open to see what's inside, coming up with a plan like this. But you have to understand, it's incredibly difficult. Those nobles won't care about the interests of the lower classes; they only see themselves. They understand the logic, but as long as they live well, they are satisfied. When war breaks out, the ninja do the fighting, and they don't have to die themselves, so your idea is almost impossible to realize."

Fei Shi remained unimpressed. He didn't want to be some savior; he was just bored. If he encountered an enemy later and couldn't win a fight, he could just use an Enhancement Card to power up instantly.

He also felt that his future days would be quite dull, so he wanted to find something to do and had come up with a challenging idea.

This rice seed was obtained through a system lottery. He could use points to further optimize it, making the resulting rice drought and cold-resistant with a massive yield.

Promoting the seeds was the first step. He would spread them throughout the Ninja World and establish his reputation.

The second step was to secretly build his own power. He would save certain people from the original plot, leaving a good impression on some, and letting them temporarily exit the stage to be resurrected later.

The third step was to introduce new ideologies—the red ideology of his past life—and let these new ideas spread among the lower classes.

The fourth step was to unify the Ninja World. He would consolidate all nations and ninja villages, establishing a new country with a new system.

"Heh, who knows?"
