Chapter 121: Terumi Mei: Wuyin Rogue Ninjas, Come Back!

Hiring a craftsman, the appearance fee is based on stamina points.

For every two hundred points of stamina consumed, a reward of two thousand Reward Points is charged; it is simply an exorbitant price.

But now,

during this competitive period, even if one pays, it is not certain one can find a craftsman player.

The emancipated serfs are singing songs of joy.

……

Jiekebao!

Terumi Mei gathers her hands together, and the scorching, explosive flames are compressed into a ball.

In the center of her palms, a crystalline and brilliant bright red Flame Pumpkin condenses, its core consisting of constantly boiling explosive flame energy, and the terrifying fluctuations it emits even surpass the intensity of a Tailed Beast Bomb in the real ninja world.

Opposite her,

is a Hell-level Ghost Mage, whose gaze remains murky; although it possesses half the power it had while alive, it cannot give birth to wisdom.

Even so,

after sensing the terrifying energy emitted by the Flame Pumpkin, it still involuntarily experiences a sense of fear.

Boom.

A beam of crimson light shoots out.

The Flame Pumpkin lands in a place within arm's reach of the Ghost Mage and explodes with a bang; the entire Sihun Yingdi is swept by the wave of fire, and the remaining ghost monsters are also swallowed by the layers of spreading flames.

"So strong, is this Lady Terumi Mei?"

The members of the Wuyin Family look at the destructive scene with shock on their faces, their admiration for the Mizukage deepening.

Hum.

Light flickers, and materials and equipment drop all over the ground.

Terumi Mei frowns, takes elegant steps, bows slightly, and then casually picks up a bottle of energy Recovery Potion.

The remaining spoils are left to the members of the Wuyin Family who followed her to fish in troubled waters.

Four consecutive Hell-level runs, and not a single Silver Heart dropped, not even a lower-quality Purple Heart; just two Blue Hearts that were better than nothing.

"Jiekebao, a Purple Skill that wantonly displays destructive power, is my strongest means of attack."

Terumi Mei very keenly perceives that,

up to now in the Samsara Game, the best quality is the Purple Skill, and beyond that, Silver Skills and Gold Skills have never appeared.

Perhaps, some kind of condition needs to be met.

The countdown ends,

and after a burst of teleportation light shines, Terumi Mei and the members of the Wuyin Family are teleported out.

After a slight sense of dizziness,

Terumi Mei asks: "How many bottles of Xinzang Nianheji dropped?"

"Twenty-nine bottles."

"Not bad."

Terumi Mei nods slightly; although no Silver Heart dropped, as long as the Cailiaogongfang is built, she will be able to synthesize high-quality hearts.

Suddenly, she catches a glimpse not far from the teleportation array,

an old man wearing a conical hat and a full beard standing cautiously in place.

Beside him stands a young girl with delicate features, wearing a Wuyin forehead protector and ninja attire, looking around with vigilance, protecting the cautious old man.

Outside the teleportation array of the Sihun Yingdi,

in an area where one cannot fight freely without player protection, a group of players dressed as wandering samurai stare covetously at the cautious old man and the Wuyin girl.

"Wuyin ninja?"

Terumi Mei frowns slightly; she has no impression at all of the Wuyin girl not far away, not even a sense of familiarity.

Her gaze shifts, landing on the name of the stall.

【Craftsman player, Construction skill lv. 10, tearful clearance sale, 200 stamina points for 800 Reward Points.】

"So cheap?"

Beside her, Guidengchiyue also discovers the stall, not expecting the unremarkable old man to be a currently hot-commodity craftsman player.

And even among craftsman players, a level 10 Construction skill is a very formidable existence.

Terumi Mei tucks a strand of hair from her forehead, her beautiful emerald eyes looking with interest at the surrounded old man, and asks: "In Iron Country, there are two craftsman players with the same Construction skill as him; how many Reward Points does it cost to hire them?"

Guidengchiyue replies: "Four thousand Reward Points."

After saying this, even he feels that the craftsmen of Iron Country are truly black-hearted.

But there is no help for it; in the beginning, players did not value craftsmen, and now it is too late to cultivate them. Only Iron Country, which was originally a neutral country rich in weapons and Forging crafts, could produce craftsman players.

It has always been a state of supply falling short of demand.

Unexpectedly, they were able to accidentally run into a lone craftsman player, and the hiring price is ridiculously low.

"Let's go take a look."

"Yes!"

Guidengchiyue circles the stall, strolling leisurely as he approaches the cautious old man's stall.

Before he can speak,

one of the wandering samurai walks over and says with a fierce expression: "Get lost."

Having said that, he actively displays his equipment panel.

A level 15 Green armor set for physical attack Reinforcement, a level 15 Green jewelry set for energy recovery, and a samurai sword that is also for physical attack Reinforcement.

To tell the truth,

Aside from the family forces, the equipment slots displayed by the sinister-looking wandering samurai before him could be considered quite formidable among average players.

Judging by his appearance, he should be the leader of this group of wandering samurai.

Dazuna clenched his fists tightly, staring at the wandering samurai with hatred, and cursed, "You damn bastards, helping the wicked Gato will surely bring retribution upon you!"

"Retribution?"

The samurai leader sneered, "You'd better worry about your own head. That rogue ninja called Zabuza has already been thrown into prison by President Gato. Once we mobilize the mafia to find your hiding place, and once we find it..."

There was no need to say the rest.

President Gato is ostensibly a world-class tycoon running a shipping company, but in reality, he employs hundreds of mafia members and ninja to smuggle drugs and sell contraband, with the entire Land of Waves under his control.

If he wanted to kill the bridge-building old man's entire family, it wouldn't even cause a splash.

If it weren't for the fact that he values the old man's status as a craftsman player, he would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks long ago for daring to refuse President Gato time and time again.

He glanced at Guidengchiyue standing to the side, frowned, and said, "Didn't you hear me? Get lost right now. Whoever dares to hire this old man Dazuna shouldn't even think about stepping out of the Novice Village gate again."

His words were full of threats.

Before Guidengchiyue could speak, Terumi Mei had already walked up, revealed a charming smile, looked at the samurai leader, and asked, "Mr. Samurai, the Kirigakure rogue ninja you just mentioned, is it Taodizabuzhan?"

"So what if it is?"

"I see. According to the intelligence we received, when Taodizabuzhan left the Land of Water, he was accompanied by an orphan of the Yuki Clan. That's you, isn't it?"

After Terumi Mei finished asking, she ignored the wandering samurai and looked directly at the black-haired girl wearing a Kirigakure forehead protector, a hint of excitement showing in her eyes.

The destruction of the Kirigakure Kekkei Genkai families had always been a pain in Terumi Mei's heart.

The Kaguya, with their Dead Bone Pulse, could manipulate their entire body's bones to grow freely and become incomparably hard; they were a Taijutsu clan capable of traversing the ninja world.

The Yuki Clan, with their Ice Release created by wind and water chakra, possessed power that was in no way inferior to her own Boil Release and Lava Release.

It was just a pity that if the Kirigakure girl before her were a man, she might have been able to revitalize Ice Release.

After all,

Although the Samsara Game allows for the exchange of Bloodline Limits, it cannot be passed down through bloodlines; even Bloodline exchanges don't work. This is a rule set by the game merchants that cannot be changed.

Terumi Mei's thoughts raced.

She must find a way to recruit the Kirigakure girl into Kirigakure.
