After the lottery ended, Genba didn't rush to check his latest system panel. Instead, he summarized his experience from this scratch-card lottery.
He mused to himself, "From this scratch-card draw, I can see there are four types of cards in the pool: white, blue, purple, and gold. White cards are food, with the lowest being expired milk and the upper limit likely being something like Ichiraku Ramen."
"This time, all the blue cards were ordinary ninja tools, but I estimate blue cards could also yield basic ninjutsu or other items."
"Purple cards yielded rare ninja tools, like the Uchiha Flame Fan I drew this time. There might be other rare ninjutsu and items, but I didn't draw them this time."
"The most anticipated are the scratch cards that burst with golden light. This time I drew the DC Universe's BUG-level ability, the Speed Force, which gave me a better understanding of the Pay-to-Win System."
Genba felt that golden scratch cards were definitely something special.
The prizes he drew from the golden scratch cards this time might not even be the upper limit of the golden card pool, but merely relatively good prizes.
Perhaps one day in the future, he might draw world-ending items like the Infinity Stones or the Infinity Gauntlet.
If he truly obtained such items, it wouldn't be him preparing for battle in the Ninja World and defending against the Otsutsuki Clan aliens, but him leading the Allied Shinobi Forces to counter-attack the Otsutsuki Planet.
However, he didn't need to think about those things now; he had to focus on the present.
His gains this time were, overall, very good.
Once his other four-dimensional stats broke through ten thousand, he would receive more growth gift packs.
If the other growth gift packs also contained scratch cards, then by scratching a few more times, he could summarize his experience with scratching cards from the growth gift packs.
As long as he could scratch out a purple card, the growth gift pack would basically break even.
If he could scratch out a golden card, that would be a massive profit!
After finishing the scratch-card drawing, Genba checked his latest system panel.
[Name: Uchiha Genba]
[Age: 18]
Four-Dimensional Stats:
[Stamina 2000: Incredible! Your stamina is now approximately equal to 0.9 Kakuzu! The Genba Brand Heart, one is better than six, is not a dream!]
[Strength 4013: Your strength is terrifyingly powerful! If you were to engage in a pure strength contest with Kakuzu, you would have a very significant advantage!]
[Speed 10102: Your speed is lightning fast, placing you at the peak among Super Kage-level ninjas! Your speed isn't just speed; it's Kakuzu's helpless tears when you steal his bounty targets right in front of him!]
[Spirit 951: Have you been to the Leaf Village hospital for a check-up? The system suspects you might have neurasthenia!]
Talent:
[Speed Force: Possessing the Speed Force, you have become a speedster. However, the strength of your Speed Force is tied to your Speed stat, and its duration is tied to your Stamina stat. Your current stats mean you are still in the rudimentary stages among speedsters.]
Abilities:
[Leaf Whirlwind Lv10: Your Leaf Whirlwind taijutsu has gained a special effect, "Whirlwind Fierce Kick." Whirlwind Fierce Kick: When you use this move, you can kick out a powerful whirlwind that can even blow Kakuzu away!]
[Three Body Technique Lv10: Your Three Body Technique has gained a special effect, "Chakra Clone." Chakra Clone: You can create chakra clones that are like Tailed Beast chakra lifeforms. The strength of the chakra clone depends on the quantity and quality of your chakra.]
[Body Flicker Technique Lv10: Your Body Flicker Technique has gained a special effect, "Phantom Body Flicker." Phantom Body Flicker: Within a specific range, create multiple shadow clones that exist between solid and illusionary. The main body can switch between multiple illusions. The illusions are immune to attacks, and multiple illusions can attack simultaneously. The strength of this ability is influenced by the Sharingan.]
[Healing Jutsu Lv2: Your Healing Jutsu is atrociously learned. Don't claim it was upgraded using this system's pay-to-win features; it's too embarrassing!]
[Current Balance: 73,600 Ryo!]
After reviewing his system panel, Genba couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
His speed stat was already formidable. Next, he could focus on stamina, strength, and spirit stats.
Stamina, in particular, might need to be prioritized.
Having a body of iron would allow him to grind missions relentlessly, day and night.
Furthermore, raising his stamina stat to 10,000 points would grant him another growth gift pack with a lottery draw.
At that point, drawing one purple card wouldn't be a loss, and drawing one gold card would be like Ying Zheng touching a live wire – he'd be absolutely winning!
The part that made him feel regretful was that the Speed Force was listed under Talent, not Abilities, meaning he couldn't directly upgrade it with brute force.
He needed to continuously increase his speed and stamina stats for the full power of the Speed Force to gradually manifest.
Since he had drawn both purple and gold cards from the growth gift packs this time, Genba hesitated whether to upgrade his Healing Jutsu.
After a brief moment of thought, Genba stood up expressionlessly, his eyes as resolute as if he were going on a pilgrimage.
However, he wasn't going on a pilgrimage; he was going to grind missions to earn money.
He had already discovered the fundamental reason for his indecision: he had too little money!
If he had a lot of money, he could both increase his stats and upgrade his ninjutsu.
In short, all problems stemmed from not grinding enough missions and not earning enough money.
There was nothing more to say; it was time to grind!
In Kakuzu's room, Kakuzu had just lain down. Not long ago, he had investigated mission intel in various places and made some plans for upcoming tasks.
He intended to get a good night's sleep, recuperate, and then thoroughly deal with that brat Genba.
Since Genba dared to freeload off him, he shouldn't blame Kakuzu for not treating him like a person.
He would make up for the losses incurred by Genba freeloading by his side, as well as the losses from Genba stealing his bounty targets several times before, through extremely high-intensity mission grinding!
Kakuzu pondered to himself, No matter how you look at it, this mission grind is five hearts against Xuan Yu's one. The advantage is mine!
Thinking this, Kakuzu gradually drifted off to sleep.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, Xuan Yu arrived outside his door.
Without wasting any time, Xuan Yu unleashed his Unrecognizable Footwork directly onto Kakuzu's door.
"BANG!"
With a thunderous crash, Xuan Yu burst through the door.
The massive noise caused Kakuzu, who had just entered dreamland, to jolt upright in shock!
As a mercenary, being hunted for revenge or becoming a bounty target for others was a perfectly normal occurrence.
However, once Kakuzu prepared himself for battle, he nearly lost his mind.
With eyes wide enough to split, he glared at the grinning Xuan Yu not far away and roared in immense fury, "You motherf***er..."
Seeing that Kakuzu was about to speak, Xuan Yu anticipated a grand oration filled with toxic profanity, so he decisively covered his ears.
After Kakuzu had roared for a long while and finally calmed down, Xuan Yu said to him, "Kakuzi, are you trying to live a healthy lifestyle or something? Why are you sleeping in the middle of the night? Let's go grind some missions! Come on, let's go!"
Kakuzu: (O_O)???
Kakuzu didn't know if he had gone mad, or if Xuan Yu had.
Was Xuan Yu even speaking human language anymore?
What did he mean by "why are you sleeping in the middle of the night?"
But Xuan Yu didn't give him a chance to think further, hoisting him onto his shoulder and heading straight for the Black Market!
