Chapter 30: Skill Refresh, A Beauty Descending from the Sky

Under the moonlight, the Uchiha squad continued to speed westward. The day's battles had already wasted too much of their time, and Uchiha Fenghuo, who had originally intended to take a detour, made a prompt decision to take the direct route.

The remaining few had no objections; the direct shortcut could save more than half their time.

Along the way, they had not encountered any interception from the Senju clan. It seemed the Senju clan was already overwhelmed and lacked the manpower to send anyone in pursuit.

"Alright, we'll set up camp here tonight."

Seeing the increasingly familiar road ahead, Uchiha Fenghuo ordered the squad to rest.

"Huff, huff."

Uchiha Liangyi and the other two had just been through a bitter battle during the day, and combined with the high-intensity travel, they were already exhausted like dogs.

The three, who had collapsed onto the ground, suddenly noticed that Uchiha Gin, who had the weakest strength, was actually still full of vigor; not only was he not panting heavily, but there wasn't even a speck of dust on him.

Sensing their strange gazes, Uchiha Gin thought to himself that this was bad, and immediately threw down the Senju Itama he had been carrying on his back.

He took the opportunity to lie on the ground, squeezed out a cold sweat, and stuck out his tongue to act exhausted, which finally made the three withdraw their attention with peace of mind.

"I'll go keep watch first; you all hurry up and rest."

Uchiha Fenghuo, who was skilled in concealment, was still in good condition and took the initiative to take on the watch duty so the others could rest.

The few who had rested a little got up one after another and began to set up their tents.

Seeing them walk away, Uchiha Gin also climbed up and took out his tent, but thinking of his strange skill, he gave up on camping in the same spot and chose a more secluded corner instead.

After setting up the tent, he didn't choose to tie Senju Itama outside this time, but instead threw him into the tent, then circled to the back and, just like last time, followed the same pattern to clear out an empty space.

"I hope I can roll some useful skills tonight."

Remembering last night's Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Gin felt another wave of pain in his gut. Although Tsukuyomi was sweet, no one could stand being dragged in to be tortured for two consecutive days.

Praying not to roll Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Gin sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the skill refresh.

But before that, he hadn't opened the rewards from the day's mission yet, so he decided to see how the rewards were first, and immediately sank into his mind.

Standing on the chessboard, Uchiha Gin saw that the point counter on the game console he had cleared during the day had become 50. He suppressed the restlessness of wanting to pull for rewards and turned his gaze to the five floating orbs. The mission clearly only gave four, so why was there an extra one?

"Reward for the mission of defeating Mito Uzumaki."

The system prompted at the right time.

"Damn it, then why didn't you open this orb when you were doing emergency avoidance, instead of using my points?"

Uchiha Gin, who had just recalled the reason for the extra orb, asked angrily.

"Mission orbs can only be opened by the host; the system has no authority to process them automatically."

Understood. Points were equivalent to the money he earned, so the system would naturally spend them on itself. The orbs were rewards given by the system, essentially the system's inventory, so it naturally wouldn't use them easily.

"What a profiteer!"

Ignoring the damn system, Uchiha Gin began to examine the orbs in front of him: two blue and three white.

Except for the fixed blue orb given by the young girl's mission, the four orbs given by the mission to save Uchiha Fenghuo and the others only had one blue one, with no purple and certainly no gold. A true non-lucky player.

He casually tapped on the first white orb, and a faint white light flashed.

【Gold Brick *1】 General currency, can be used for real-world consumption.

Dropped gold coins, not a loss.

The second one.

【Gold Brick *1】 General currency, can be used for real-world consumption.

Still gold coins, not a loss.

The third one.

【Gold Brick *1】 General currency, can be used for real-world consumption.

"#?"

What was the meaning of three gold bars in a row? So the most useless thing in the orbs was dropping gold coins.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Uchiha Gin tapped on the first blue orb.

【Gold Brick *5】 General currency, can be used for real-world consumption.

"*... #@%￥%@... ￥#￥%&*@!"

Uchiha Gin wanted to jump up and slap this system twice. At this moment, he felt like a non-lucky player who pulled ten cards and got all R-ranks, raging in impotence.

After venting, Uchiha Gin stretched out a trembling finger and, with his eyes closed, tapped on the last orb.

【Flying Raijin Kunai *1】 A weapon used by Minato Namikaze, containing a trace of space-time power. Note: Wearing it can accelerate the comprehension of space-time ninjutsu.

Looking at the three-pronged weapon in his hand, a yellow figure appeared in Uchiha Gin's mind.

This was the Fourth Hokage's signature weapon, marked with a special Flying Raijin formula, which could achieve long-distance teleportation when combined with the space-time ninjutsu Flying Raijin.

"Can accelerate the comprehension of space-time skills when worn?"

He tried waving the kunai in his hand a few times and found it quite handy. Even if he couldn't use Flying Raijin, this weapon could be used for daily life.

Putting away this hard-won kunai and the eight gold bricks scattered on the ground, Uchiha Gin walked to the game console.

Looking at his pitiful 50 hard-earned points, he gritted his teeth and pulled the slot machine lever. Gamble a little, and a bicycle might turn into a motorcycle.

Along with the classic slot machine BGM, the three characters on the panel began to flash rapidly. Uchiha Gin held his breath, staring intently at the changing patterns.

The first character: Tai.

A few seconds later, the second character also stopped on "Tai".

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but breathe rapidly. Was he about to go from non-lucky to lucky?

"Tai, Tai, Tai!" He couldn't help but shout out.

As soon as Uchiha Gin's voice fell, the last character stopped on "Nin".

"Congratulations to the host for rolling the Tai+Tai+Nin combination. Taijutsu effect doubled / Tai +1."

"I choose Tai +1!"

Fearing that the system would settle too quickly, Uchiha Gin chose first.

Striking while the iron was hot, Uchiha Gin continued to pull the slot machine. The next four times did not result in any critical hits; they were all small combinations.

Final settlement:

Tai +2, Nin +2, Gen +1.

Host: Uchiha Gin

Nin: 9

Tai: 10

Int: 9

Gen: 7

Cha: 1

Dou: 10

Skills: Basic Taijutsu, Fireball Jutsu, Uchiha Introductory Sword Technique, Intermediate Shuriken Jutsu.

Comprehensive evaluation: A punchable Uchiha Chunin with balanced development.

After adding the points, he felt that his strength had improved significantly. Comparing horizontally, his strength should be on par with Uchiha Liangyi and the other two.

After counting the spoils, Uchiha Gin exited the system space.

Opening his eyes, he was still met with pitch darkness. Only the Flying Raijin Kunai held in his hand gave him a sense of reality. He frowned.

"Why hasn't today's skill refreshed yet?"

Uchiha Gin muttered to himself in a low voice.

Before his voice faded, the aura around him suddenly stagnated. A light curtain with water ripples quietly emerged in the sky above his head, and then a figure descended from the sky, slamming a foot heavily toward Uchiha Gin, who was still sitting cross-legged.

Although he had some of the Uzumaki clan's sensory ability and had foreseen the danger in advance, he still couldn't dodge this swift and violent blow.

The opponent's powerful foot slammed heavily into his back, and the savage force surged through his body. Uchiha Gin immediately lay on the ground, spitting blood.

As the smoke cleared, a tall figure appeared before him. The visitor had light yellow hair tied into a large ponytail, light yellow thin eyebrows, bright brown eyes, and bright red nail polish on her tightly clenched hands.

The moonlight spilled down, reflecting a faint glow on her fair skin. She wore a tea-green long coat with black edges, a loose sleeveless top similar to a kimono underneath, a black cloth belt around her waist, and dark blue cropped pants.

But these were not the point. Spitting blood, all his attention was focused on the two magnificent peaks of the opponent. At this moment, Uchiha Gin felt a hot stream surging in his nasal cavity.

Before he could recover, the visitor threw a simple, straightforward punch at him. Uchiha Gin, who had no time to react, immediately activated his Sharingan, simulating the opponent's punching path, wanting to twist his body to dodge this world-destroying blow.

But before he could turn, he found that his body could not move, and at the same time, a sharp pain came from his right arm.

Unknowingly, the opponent had first used her other hand to grab his right arm, and his entire right arm was easily snapped by her like a withered branch.

Ignoring the pain, Uchiha Gin, who was trying to break free, discovered in horror that a delicate, fair fist had already rushed over with the momentum of thunder.

"The nail polish is quite pretty."

This was Uchiha Gin's last thought before losing consciousness.
