Chapter 129: New Map: Arad Continent - Sky Tower

"In that case, how should we guide the conflicts between players?"

A weak voice came out.

"Since conflicts arise from interests, then control the cost of conflict to indirectly control the degree of conflict, achieving a perfect balance."

Fang Yi laughed: "The method is also very simple: activate Sin Value, the Arena, and the Punishment Space, so that all conflicts remain within a controllable range."

"Pollution Reward Points are prepared for this very moment; once the Sin Value accumulates to a certain level, they will be thrown into the Punishment Space, which is the territory of the pollution forces."

"Only by killing enough Pollution Monsters and using Pollution Reward Points to purchase Atonement Tickets can one leave the Punishment Space!"

Inside the Ninja Channel,

【Game Merchant】: Two days remain until the new map opens; releasing intelligence in advance.

All Game Players had their attention drawn by the Game Merchant's message.

Even Terumi Mei, who was immersed in the joy of receiving a special reward, temporarily set aside other matters to carefully watch the message in the Ninja Channel.

【New World Intelligence, price 200 Reward Points】

Terumi Mei's expression stiffened; it actually cost money?

At the same time, after all Game Players touched the Game Merchant's message, the same text popped up.

They all revealed expressions of dissatisfaction.

You said it was public intelligence, so why is there still a fee? Doesn't this just turn into paying for information?

Although they thought this, most players still skillfully paid the money; anyway, thousands of Reward Points had already been scammed away by the game, so they didn't care about these two hundred Reward Points.

After paying,

A video slowly began to play.

The sky was lead-gray, as if covered by a layer of thick mist.

The air was filled with a pervasive Pollution Aura.

Twisted and swaying forests, fragmented earth, and collapsed, ruined nations.

At the very center of the world was a giant castle that rose from the ground, rising layer by layer until it finally pierced the sky.

【New Map: Arad Continent - Sky Tower】

World Mission: Occupy the City Lord Palace, eliminate the Pollution Source 【Fallen City Lord of Light】

Intelligence Introduction: This is a continent ravaged by pollution; the once brilliant and magnificent light of civilization has only a weak spark left, struggling to burn. Pollution Monsters continuously pour out from the palace of the Sky Tower until they can completely destroy the world.

Hint: After entering the new map, the level 20 level cap will be lifted.

Hint: Players can bring their real combat power from the ninja world into the new map; resurrection costs will increase.

【To open the new map, you must complete the 【New World】 mission.】

"Just as I thought, the maximum level in the Novice Village is 19; if you want to break through, you must reach the New World."

"It's actually an entire continent attacked by pollution; we need to clear the Pollution Source and save the world?"

"Just looking at the video, I can feel that the monsters inside are extremely vicious; I'm afraid they will be harder to deal with than ghosts and Vampires."

"Hey, didn't you all notice the main point? To open the new map, you still have to complete the mission!"

Hot Water Village,

The bricks, tiles, and walls were all painted red, as if they were burning flames, inheriting the Will of Fire.

Inside the conference room,

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at the head of the table, his expression serious, and said: "What does everyone think about the New World mission?"

The remnants of the Hot Water Village had been completely cleared, and the entire Hot Water Village had completely transformed into New Konoha.

At the same time, the Konoha ninja who inherited the Will of Fire also gathered a group of civilian players from the Land of Hot Water to become the new Anbu.

Managed by himself personally.

Minato was still too young and lacked experience in handling many things; now was a time of turmoil, and when everything settled down, he could safely hand over the position of Hokage to him.

After Asuma pondered slightly, he spoke: "Uzumaki Naruto has already accepted the New World mission; he needs to collect one hundred Monster Fragments to fuse them into one 【Arad Continent Map】. Only by carrying the Arad map can one enter the New World."

Nara Shikaku revealed a puzzled expression and asked: "Do the Monster Fragments need to be dropped from ghosts and Vampires?"

After the Konoha Family was founded, they could receive two Game Invitations every month.

All the major ninja clans were staring eagerly; everyone wanted to get an invitation to become a player of the Samsara Game.

Especially the heavily damaged Clan Head of the Hyuga and the Ino-Shika-Cho who were close to the Hokage.

The former, naturally, went without saying.

A large portion of the elite Hyuga Branch House had been turned against the clan by Neji, leaving only the Main House, which lacked strong combat ability, and the Branch House members who had been brainwashed since childhood and were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Main House.

But these Branch House members were all those with slightly inferior talent, insufficient to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

After all, power breeds ambition; no one was willing to be the Shield of the Main House voluntarily.

"Hyuga Neji, you have betrayed my trust!"

After being betrayed, Hyuga Hiashi was immersed in pain and incomprehension, unable to extricate himself.

He was clearly Hizashi's child, a new generation of Shield to protect the Main House that he valued highly, yet he had committed an unforgivable crime, killing the previous generation's Main House Elder and leading the clansmen to defect from Konoha.

On the night of the Konoha Collapse Plan,

On the ruins of the Hokage Rock, Hyuga Hiashi and Neji looked at each other from afar, and he had once angrily questioned him.

"Why kill the Elder, why break free from the Caged Bird, why lead the clansmen to rebel?"

"As a Hyuga clansman, shouldn't you inherit the legacy of Hyuga Tenin?"

That night,

The usually gentle and modest Hyuga Neji revealed a rare, cold expression and retorted: "Since we are to inherit the legacy of Hyuga Tenin, why didn't the previous generation of the Main House wear the Caged Bird after the new generation of the Main House appeared?"

"It has already been determined that Hyuga Hinata does not have the qualifications to inherit the Main House, and it was decided to hand the Main House to Hyuga Hanabi; why wasn't Hyuga Hinata made to wear the Caged Bird?"

At that time,

The Hyuga Clan Head felt his overflowing rage as if it had been tightly locked away, with nowhere to vent.

Even the act of wanting to take out the handwritten notes left behind by Hyuga Hizashi became pale and powerless.

Even now,

Neji's sharp words still echoed in his mind, and even he was somewhat shaken.

Watching the slightly distracted Hiashi, Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe lightly, and only then did he snap back to his senses.

Asuma replied: "That's right, but the probability of ordinary ghosts dropping Monster Fragments is extremely low; one needs to hunt Elite Level, or even Commander Level ghosts and Vampires to have a high probability of them dropping."

Elite Level and Commander Level are, aside from Ghost Mages and Vampire Barons, the strongest batch of Pollution Monsters.

In reality, they are slightly stronger than an Elite Jonin.

"Therefore, among the tens of thousands of players in the game, those who can obtain the Arad Continent Map within two days will likely not exceed one thousand."

The difficulty of wanting to hunt one hundred Elite Jonin in a mere two days can be imagined.

Except for the first-tier players like Terumi Mei, Konan, Tsunade, and Asuma, whose strength is strong enough even among the Shadow-level, most players must hunt in teams.

An entire team is needed to support one player in collecting enough Monster Fragments to obtain the New World map.

Of course, Orochimaru, the Imperial Preceptor of the Konoha Empire who holds the power of finance, is under no pressure; he hunts alone while purchasing fragments at high prices that low-level players were lucky enough to have dropped from ordinary monsters.

"The New World can completely be seen as a ladder to step into a new stage."

Tsunade has always been unwilling to participate in such boring meetings; although she is usually dissatisfied with her teacher's various methods, seeing his miserable state now—having lost both legs and his face covered in scars—she cannot bear it.

She spoke up: "Everyone should have heard about the commotion Terumi Mei caused in the Land of Waves, right?"

All the Ninja Clan Heads in the conference room nodded repeatedly, their expressions complex.

That kind of terrifying strength has already surpassed the limits that ninjas of the current world can reach; only Akimichi Torifu, who once witnessed the demeanor of the Shodai and Madara Uchiha, could barely accept it, while everyone else was shocked beyond measure.

Tsunade scanned the room and said slowly: "Terumi Mei, who can create the power of a natural disaster, is only level 19 in the game, and the New World can unlock the level cap, meaning level 19 is just the starting point."

"With the updates of the game version."

"In the future, more and more natural disaster-level ninjas will appear, or even stronger ninjas... no, such existences can no longer be called ninjas."

"To us, they are Gods capable of easily destroying the Ninja World!"
