Heaven-Piercing Sword also received a prompt from the game system.
He formed hand seals casually, and sure enough, a brand-new ninjutsu appeared before him.
The massive amount of Lightning Release Chakra far surpassed the previous E-Rank Ninjutsu.
"As expected of a D-Rank Ninjutsu, it really packs a punch!"
Heaven-Piercing Sword could not help but exclaim with a self-satisfied sigh.
This setup in the game was indeed quite nice.
As long as one contributed ninjutsu they had comprehended or created to the village.
They could receive rewards in the form of corresponding contribution points.
Moreover, contribution points could be used to redeem items that enhanced one's strength.
For instance, redeeming Chakra Energy was the most direct way to boost one's strength.
[Ding, do you wish to contribute the Lightning Release, Raikage Flash to the village? You can obtain 800 contribution points.]
Brand-new ninjutsu comprehended by players met the standards for system inclusion.
Thus, at the exact same time, Heaven-Piercing Sword received a notification message.
"Yes!"
Zhang Tian nodded repeatedly in confirmation. Why pass up 800 free contribution points?
What is more, 800 contribution points were no small amount.
It was enough for a spending spree at the ninja tool shop.
Just right, after redeeming five types of ninjutsu, his remaining contribution points had dwindled to single digits.
This was hardly good news.
[Ding, player Heaven-Piercing Sword contributed the C-Rank Ninjutsu Lightning Release, Raikage Flash, obtaining 800 contribution points.] [Ding, the C-Rank Ninjutsu Lightning Release, Raikage Flash has been listed in the Ninjutsu Store. Players in need may inspect and purchase it themselves.]
Two consecutive full-screen announcements flashed past.
"Holy shit, big shot Heaven-Piercing Sword just whipped up a brand-new ninjutsu."
"This is 800 free contribution points right there, I'm so jealous it hurts."
"Yeah, that's way more than daily quest rewards."
"I'm done talking. Even though I didn't comprehend any ninjutsu, I've got other fun stuff."
"If for no other reason, I'm going to contribute just for this reward. These are real, hard-earned contribution points-miss this village and you won't find this shop anywhere else."
Some players cried out in surprise.
They directly stated that although they had not created any new ninjutsu.
In the game, contribution points weren't rewarded solely for contributing ninjutsu.
Instead, as long as the skills you created were confirmed by the system to have value, you would be rewarded with contribution points.
Meanwhile, yet another game announcement drifted across the screen.
[Player Xiao Huo Huo has studied diligently and successfully created a brand-new attack method: Gum-Gum Pistol (C-Rank).] [Player Xiao Huo Huo has contributed the C-Rank attack method Gum-Gum Pistol to the village, obtaining 800 contribution points.] [All players may now inspect and purchase the new skills to learn from the Ninjutsu Store on their own.]
Holy crap, Ye Chen thought as he saw this game advertisement.
He could not help but blurt out a curse word.
Wasn't this special attack skill exclusive to Luffy from One Piece?
It actually got created by the players too.
The crucial part was that it even met the system's criteria for recognition.
What is more, it was an attack method that reached C-Rank.
There was no helping it; the troll index of this batch of players was truly a bit too high.
He had no idea what other bizarre antics these troll players could pull off if things kept developing this way.
[...]
Wait, all sorts of outlandish, wildly imaginative skills were being whipped up by the troll players.
Bizarre though they were, they still met the system's evaluation criteria for new skills.
Consequently, these players all received rewards upon contributing their skills.
This entire spectacle left Ye Chen feeling somewhat amused yet exasperated.
The players in his village were all a bunch of trolls.
However, as the village chief, Ye Chen's harvest was massive.
He could directly learn and master any new skills the players comprehended.
Just like that, without having to do a thing.
Ye Chen had already learned and mastered a B-Rank combat ninjutsu.
Fire Release, Flame Storm.
A B-Rank Ninjutsu was a rare commodity even across this Shinobi World.
Furthermore, its learning difficulty was no joke.
Fortunately, he had the system's blessing, allowing him to learn and master it directly.
It spared him the intermediate steps of grueling cultivation and practice.
This point made Ye Chen, acting as the veteran village chief, feel deeply gratified.
As long as the players worked hard, he could grow stronger while lying down.
There was nothing more comfortable than this.
However, Ye Chen's comfort did not last much longer.
Immediately following that, yet another game announcement flooded the screen.
[Congratulations to player Fighting Master for creating a brand-new taijutsu: Wing Chun.] [Ding, the rank of the taijutsu Wing Chun is variable and determined by the caster's strength. The stronger the caster's own strength, the greater the power and the higher the rank of Wing Chun.]
"This... I, I, I've decided. I'm going to walk the path of taijutsu cultivation from now on."
"Not for anything else, just because it's cool enough."
"Who says only ninjutsu can be used for battle? The power of taijutsu is by no means weaker than ninjutsu..."
For a time, quite a few players rushed eagerly into the Ninjutsu Store.
They redeemed the Wing Chun taijutsu, wanting to experience the shadow of a generation's grandmaster.
Right after.
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.
A massive cloud of smoke directly blanketed a small patch of mountains ahead.
When the smoke cleared, the crowd finally saw the scene before them.
The explosion from a moment ago had actually blasted away a good fraction of a mountain base.
"Phew, it finally worked."
The Daoist Arts Master wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and exclaimed with intense excitement.
Without a doubt, the explosion just now was caused by him.
"Holy shit, what kind of commotion is this? The sound is so loud."
"This power is even stronger than my C-Rank Ninjutsu, way too overpowered..."
"Daoist Arts Master is tinkering with new talismans again. I just wonder what rank this new talisman will be."
"Judging by that power, it's at least C-Rank."
"..."
Discussions broke out among the players.
Daoist Arts Master slightly restrained his expression, waiting for the game system to issue a judgment.
Naturally, the higher the rank, the more bountiful the rewards he could obtain.
After a moment, a full-screen announcement appeared.
[Ding, player Daoist Arts Master has created a B-Rank talisman, the Mountain-Crushing Talisman.] [Ding, Daoist Arts Master has contributed the Mountain-Crushing Talisman to the village, obtaining a massive amount of contribution points.]
"A B-Rank talisman! That power can definitely rival B-Rank ninjutsu."
"I'm done talking, I'm going on a shopping spree."
"New talismans are a must-have..."
At this moment, everyone's enthusiasm reached an unprecedented high as they collectively opened the redemption panel, frantically purchasing and upgrading.
This wave of events left the players in Hidden Jun Village with massive boosts.
Whether in their chakra realm or combat methods, they had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Compared to before, it could be described by four words: a world of difference.
Trading a bird gun for a cannon!
Meanwhile.
Although Kusagakure was doing its utmost to conceal information and prevent leaks.
The intelligence-gathering capabilities of the other Four Great Shinobi Villages were not just for show.
Before long, all the major shinobi villages had learned of Hidden Jun Village, this newly emerged small shinobi village.
They even gathered intelligence that Kusagakure was about to go to war with Hidden Jun Village.
However, the subsequent reaction from each shinobi village was remarkably consistent.
That was to selectively ignore it.
