Chapter 9: New Product: Random Pottery Jar

"This is, after all, a grand prize worth two million."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment; deep down, she still had a bit of a conscience and didn't want to take things from a strange young man for nothing.

Although she owed a mountain of gambling debts, those were all to black-hearted merchants and black-hearted Nobles, so she was still a good girl.

Fang Yi waved his hand casually and said, "It's fine. I am the boss of the Pottery Jar Lottery; this kind of doll can be produced at any time. I have as many as you want."

Tsunade was stunned at first, then widened her eyes and exclaimed, "It's you, the one voted by the Five Great Nations as the most black-hearted merchant, the champion who has topped the list for four consecutive years?"

"It is me, but I am not a black-hearted merchant."

Fang Yi rejected the title of black-hearted merchant; he was clearly an entrepreneur.

Upon receiving a definitive answer, Tsunade stuffed the doll directly into her pocket. Such a black-hearted merchant deserved to be killed by everyone.

Tsunade sneered, "What a boastful claim."

Enemies are especially prone to jealousy when they meet; she was a victim who had lost millions in the Pottery Jar Lottery, and all she ever pulled were low-quality dolls like the Ox-Head.

"Thank you for your contribution to the people of the Five Nations."

Fang Yi explained patiently, "Every time you buy a pottery jar, a portion of the money is donated to ordinary commoners who cannot afford to eat. Our full name is the Five Nations Welfare Lottery Pottery Jar."

Tsunade hadn't expected that the Pottery Jar Lottery would actually donate money. If it were true, the young man before her heart wasn't entirely black.

However, she still stubbornly said on the surface, "Tch, who knows if you're telling the truth or not?"

"It is naturally true."

On this point, Fang Yi was not lying. He had originally just wanted to earn some money to be well-fed and clothed in the Ninja World, but he hadn't expected the money to snowball more and more.

In any case, he was only staying for five years, and keeping the money was useless, so most of the money was donated every year.

In the Ninja World, which had been at war for years,

Ninjas sacrificed their lives, and in places unseen, commoners were likewise being bled dry by the Daimyo of their nations to supply the war machine running at full speed.

Fang Yi had no hero complex and would not burn himself to light up the world, but he would help where he could.

"Our welfare pottery jars have always strictly controlled the prize pool probabilities. We won't let the buyers lose too much; selling the dolls can help them recover their costs, so they won't lose their entire fortune."

Fang Yi displayed the demeanor of an entrepreneur.

Tsunade's expression stiffened. Although she was very unwilling to admit it, her luck was truly too poor; the dolls she opened from the pottery jars were all the lowest-level original-skin Ox-Head Chieftains.

Noticing Tsunade's expression, Fang Yi guessed the reason and said politely, "Sorry, I really didn't expect that a customer would be unlucky enough to lose even their lodging money."

Can you even hold a conversation?

Tsunade was annoyed inside, but she had no way to refute the fact the other party had stated.

Considering that Fang Yi had given her the Teemo doll, she would just pretend she hadn't heard it.

Fang Yi patted the White-haired Loli's head, and the little loli very understandingly fished a pottery jar out of her pocket.

It was the same as the doll pottery jar.

It was his new attempt.

A pottery jar capable of absorbing Qi and essence, with random internal rewards that would produce different items based on the attributes of the surrounding Qi absorbed.

For example, if a player killed a Gargoyle, there was a probability of it dropping a pottery jar; a pottery jar that absorbed Gargoyle Qi could yield related equipment or skills like the 【Gargoyle Staff】.

Simply producing Reward Points was too monotonous; this could be considered as increasing the fun and randomness for players hunting Pollution Monsters.

The five Game Towers in the Ninja World had not yet opened. Once someone managed to kill a Pollution Source boss, it would be activated after the Samsara Game version update.

The Game Towers, which included functions like the Ninja World Auction House and the Colosseum, would be the first line of defense where the Samsara Game and reality intersected.

Fang Yi would also officially land in the Ninja World as the owner of the auction house.

"As compensation, I'll give you this Samsara Clay Pot that hasn't been released yet."

"Samsara Clay Pot?"

Tsunade's eyes lit up. Although she already had the Teemo grand prize, for a gambler, she didn't want to let go of any lottery opportunity placed in front of her.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Watching Tsunade being led by the nose, Shizune covered her face in helplessness.

Tsunade took the pottery jar and laughed loudly, "Since it's someone else's compensation, it would be very impolite to refuse."

She applied a little force with her fingers,

The seemingly fragile pottery jar was actually not crushed.

Tsunade revealed a look of surprise and suspicion. Although she hadn't released any chakra, as a Shadow-level powerhouse, especially one possessing the powerful physique of the Senju Clan,

Even rock would be crushed into powder by her, yet a pottery jar was this hard?

Fang Yi explained thoughtfully from the side, "The Samsara Clay Pot is quite special; it cannot be broken by brute force. The customer only needs to reach their hand inside to take out the item."

Is that so?

Tsunade's gaze fell upon him. She didn't sense any chakra fluctuations, and his walking posture and delicate palms were completely unlike those of a trained ninja.

This was the habitual thinking of a ninja: when encountering a special situation, first observe whether the other party is a ninja.

"Since that's the case..."

Tsunade didn't dwell on it and reached her hand into the Samsara Clay Pot to grope around.

A pure white, transparent ball of light was taken out.

Inside, wrapped in a halo like a transparent Paopao, was a tattered booklet filled with densely packed text.

Pop.

The transparent Paopao shattered, and the tattered booklet became the size of a palm, landing in the palm of Tsunade's hand.

"Seal Technique?"

Tsunade's expression was suspicious; she clearly hadn't sensed any chakra fluctuations.

Fang Yi smiled politely, "It is the special nature of the Samsara Clay Pot. Prizes that exceed the volume of the pottery jar are processed with special techniques before being placed inside."

"Because it is a test product that hasn't been officially released yet, if you have any better suggestions, we will also adopt them."

Tsunade was the first customer to test the clay pot.

If the experience was good, Fang Yi would list the clay pot in the Samsara Game as a mission reward.

Tsunade gave him a deep look, then looked at the booklet in her palm and frowned, saying, "Whose notes are these?"

After her gaze fell upon it, a light screen popped up.

【Griffin's Flesh Modification Notes (Fragment)】

Type: Item

Effect: After reading, one can learn the Flesh Modification Technique and Visceral Suturing Technique of the Second-Tier Pollution Source, the werewolf Griffin.

Note: After experiencing the pain of his internal organs being corroded by a Silver Bullet, Griffin mastered the craft of suturing internal organs.

Fang Yi glanced at the manual and explained, "A special medical method that can suture damaged internal organs at an extremely fast speed."

Tsunade's brows were tightly furrowed, her heart feeling as if it had been fiercely squeezed by someone.

There was a stifling sensation of being unable to breathe.

Bloody memories that were already on the verge of being forgotten surfaced in her mind; during the Shinobi World War, Kato Dan had his internal organs shattered by enemy ninja and lost too much blood, and even she, who was proficient in Medical Ninjutsu, had been unable to save him.

"Oh."

Tsunade's expression remained as usual as she extended her fair, slender fingers to flip through the tattered notes.

She did not believe there was a medical method capable of rapidly suturing internal organs.

As one of the strongest in the ninja world at Medical Ninjutsu, Tsunade had this confidence.

The slight favorable impression she had originally held for the young man before her had vanished completely, not just because of the inferior trickery, but also because of the pain of having her scars ripped open.

"Lady Tsunade."

Shizune keenly sensed Tsunade's mood and looked at Fang Yi with an unfriendly gaze.

As Kato Dan's niece, she was very clear about that unbearable past of Tsunade's, and being also proficient in Medical Ninjutsu, she exposed him on the spot: "There is no such medical method; are you trying to use witch doctor's tricks to swindle people?"

"Shizune!"

Tsunade's suppressed low shout rang out.

Her fingers trembled slightly, and her gaze toward the tattered notes was mixed with shock, doubt, and the emotion of avoidance.

Judging by her experience in Medical Ninjutsu, the suturing technique recorded in this tattered notebook was actually truly operable!
