Chapter 43: Healing Professions are Highly Sought After

【Monster Siege (Event)】

Event Perk 1: During the event, hunt Pollution Monsters to obtain double Reward Points, experience, and skill experience rewards.

Event Perk 2: Hunting Pollution Monsters grants Merit Points. A dedicated Merit Points Mall will be opened at the 【City Defense Officer】, where players can spend Merit Points to purchase 【Ghost】 series exclusive equipment.

Event Perk 3: The Siege Ranking is now open. The five players with the highest Merit Points can collect a mysterious grand prize from the 【City Defense Officer】 after the siege ends.

After the announcement appeared, players throughout the entire Novice Village were stirred into a frenzy.

Especially those players who had never seen such a grand spectacle; they swept away their previous fearful postures and began wiping their weapons, eager to rush out of the Novice Village and have a big fight with the ghosts.

"A game event?"

"It should be similar to a holiday celebration. With double skill experience, my Burning Wood Blade Technique will definitely be able to reach level five!"

"I'm right next to the City Defense Officer. The Ghost series equipment is all level 10 Blue-Purple gear. Do you guys dare to believe it?"

Ninja Novice Village,

The combat players' levels had all broken through the 10-level mark, but their equipment was quite pathetic.

Except for a few Nobles who were not short on money, ninjas who had exchanged for Ninjutsu, and wealthy merchants with deep pockets, the remaining majority of players were wearing a mix of white and green equipment.

Armor category: head/shoulders, top, bottom, belt, shoes.

Jewelry category: ring*2, necklace, bracelet*2.

Wearing a full set of equipment is a ten-piece set, not including the weapon.

Armor equipment has the lowest price; a piece of green armor (level 10) sells for 2,000 Reward Points in the Mall, and 1,600 Reward Points from merchants.

Jewelry equipment is priced higher; a piece of green jewelry (level 10) sells for 3,500 Reward Points in the Mall, and 3,000 Reward Points from merchants.

In other words,

To gather a full set of green gear, excluding the special case of having heaven-defying luck and being able to loot it all yourself, requires at least twenty thousand Reward Points.

Moreover, many are loose pieces without set bonuses; if you want a set, it's even more expensive.

But!

The City Defense Officer is actually selling complete sets of Blue-Purple equipment, and the price is shockingly low.

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill all the ghosts!"

"Ghost Legion, sounds valuable. I'm still missing a Ghost Cavalry Breastplate, I'll start with you guys!"

"Glory belongs to the Five Great Nations!"

There was no fear or cowardice, only a strong desire for the Ghost equipment.

The first wave of the Ghost Beast Army struck.

Agile and vigorous beast bodies rolled in like a surging tide, and Ghost Beasts flapping their wings circled continuously in the air.

Just at this moment,

Countless sunken pits appeared on the city walls, and thousands of Ghost soldiers walked out from within.

The special ability to upgrade the city wall can absorb the Ghost Energy in the air to summon combat soldiers.

"The inner walls of the city can store five thousand Ghost soldiers; let them serve as the vanguard to scout the way!"

The next second,

The Ghost soldiers' bodies dissipated and were all sucked into a giant cannon on the city wall to be used as ammunition.

Boom!

A black beam tore through the air like a sharp sword, hitting the center of the Ghost Beast Army with precision and blooming into a massive energy shockwave.

A charred gap was blasted open in the very center.

Hundreds of Ghost Beasts turned to ash, and countless others were blown away by the shockwave, throwing their formation into chaos.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Ghost Beam swept across the battlefield like a waving long whip, tearing the Ghost Beast Army into pieces.

The white-haired loli was very glad she had reminded her master to upgrade the city wall. She said, "Master, this is the immense power the city wall displays during a siege battle. Isn't it strong?"

Fang Yi didn't feel much,

If not for the players' help, upgrading the city wall would have cost a full five hundred thousand Reward Points; it was only reasonable that it would have this kind of power.

Besides, once the accumulated Ghost Energy is exhausted, the Ghost Giant Cannon will change from a rapid-fire Gatling to a single-shot Mauser Pistol, and its power will be greatly reduced.

In the end, they would still have to rely on the players to fight.

By the city wall,

Countless players gathered, watching the terrifying power of the Ghost Giant Cannon, which acted like a spirit-lifting banner for everyone.

"Lady Tsunade, I implore you to take action with us."

Asuma bowed slightly and said sincerely to the blonde mature woman wearing Plate Armor.

He was very depressed.

When he heard the Hokage announce the decision to give up on hunting Ghost Mage Sarina, the atmosphere among the Konoha Troops became very low.

Thick disappointment.

He had never imagined that the father he had once admired so much, the sun and protector of the village, would make such an irrational decision.

The Samsara Game had long since revealed its potential to subvert the ninja world.

It was like discovering a new island full of treasures; the powers of the ninja world were all frantically building ships, opening new routes, exploring new islands, and bringing the treasures back to the ninja world.

Yet, Asuma could only watch his beloved village waver and close its doors to the world.

"Terumi Mei can save Kirigakure, but what about me?"

Asuma was startled by his own thoughts and quickly discarded the notion.

Regaining his focus, he looked at the invited Tsunade.

There are many professions in the Samsara Game, including magic-style Warrior, Mage, Priest, Thief, and Hunter.

Martial arts types: Fighter, Pharmacist, Warrior, Swordsman.

Sci-fi types: Mecha Pilot, Mechanic, Sharpshooter, and so on.

But after comprehensive organization by the players, they are actually divided into six types.

The Tank responsible for blocking damage with high HP and defense, the Warrior for melee damage, the Archer for ranged attacks, the Warlock for ranged magic damage, the Assassin for sneak attacks and high burst, and the Support with healing abilities and buff effects.

If distinguished in detail, there are also the Artillery Mage who pours out damage instantly, the Mage for sustained damage, the Tank with high Resistance and high magic defense, and so on.

But among them, the relatively scarce and popular profession is undoubtedly the Support with healing abilities.

They are an indispensable force for group operations.

Just like the Medical Ninja in reality, they can significantly enhance a ninja's sustained combat capability and survivability.

Especially someone like Tsunade, who possesses both healing abilities and powerful combat capabilities.

"Wait, God of Gamblers."

To the side, a Noble player from the Frost Country hurriedly interrupted Asuma.

She had exquisite features and the arrogance of a noble young lady; she was draped in grey-black Mage robes that looked like they were made of stone, and she said with a look of anticipation: "God of Gamblers, I am willing to pay five thousand Reward Points for you to act with us."

Land of Fire God of Gamblers is Tsunade's game nickname.

A while ago, when she was hunting Ghost Cavalry in the depths of the Death Soul Mountain Range and saved players from the Frost Country from the hands of a Ghost Cavalry captain, they had kept in touch.

Occasionally exchanging information, materials, and equipment, they could be considered game acquaintances.

"If you want to invite the God of Gamblers, you should be clear about her abilities; do you really think you can take advantage of her with just empty words?"

The noble young lady was not short on money; she offered five thousand Reward Points right off the bat, equivalent to 500 million yen.

All of this was to recruit a healer for their team.

"Asuma."

Tsunade also did not expect the noble young lady to be so extravagant; no one wants to refuse Reward Points delivered to their mouth.

She looked at Asuma; after all, he was once a ninja of Konoha, and if the other party was willing to pay, she would prioritize them.

Dear readers, this book has finally reached the trial recommendation stage. I have summarized and categorized the suggestions and ideas you all put forward, and I will make improvements in the future. I just asked the editor, and whether it can continue to be recommended depends on the follow-up reading, which is the number of people who read to the latest chapter.
