Naruto readily agreed to Akali’s proposal.
And there was no need to elaborate on the subsequent process.
Together with Naruto, Akali carefully discussed their next steps.
The photos from last time sold incredibly well, so the next photoshoot had to start as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow.
Afterward, to celebrate her success as a manager in signing the future superstar Naruko, Akali generously treated Naruto to a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen before they parted ways.
However, after enjoying the fine craftsmanship of Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku, Akali felt a long-lost laziness wash over her and didn’t want to walk at all.
Before transmigrating, she could have easily solved this by calling a Didi.
But now that she had transmigrated, unless she called someone to carry her back on their shoulders, she still had to walk by herself.
Fortunately, Akali was no ordinary person; she was someone with a cheat.
So, she simply found a secluded alley near Ichiraku Ramen.
Then, from her personal space obtained through the gacha, she took out a Control Ward and placed it in the alley.
Instantly, on the mini-map in Akali’s mind, the fog of war in the alley cleared up, replaced by the vision provided by the Control Ward.
Looking at the mini-map, she could see that there was no one lurking around to spy on her.
This was also a feature Akali had unlocked a few days ago—the mini-map.
However, compared to the game, the mini-map’s vision required placing wards, and Akali could only obtain Control Wards or Stealth Wards through the money gacha.
This was one of the reasons why Akali was so fixated on Naruto.
Vision was intelligence, and in the world of Ninjas, the importance of intelligence went without saying!
After confirming that no one was watching her, just to be safe, Akali also took out a smoke bomb and threw it down!
*Bang!*
A black mist as dark as the night enveloped Akali.
A sense of peace, as if she had returned to the womb, echoed in her heart, making her feel as though she was born to dwell within these shadows.
And at this moment, what Akali was about to do was also very clear.
Under the cover of the smoke bomb, Akali located her own house on the mini-map and targeted a Control Ward she had placed in her living room!
A Summoner Spell that every top laner was incredibly familiar with was activated.
In the smoke where no one could pry, a green whirlwind wrapped around Akali!
Then, after a four-second channel…
Akali’s vision blurred.
The familiar living room appeared before her eyes once again.
She let her exhausted body, which had been running around all day, collapse onto the sofa.
Feeling her light and petite body enveloped by the soft sofa, Akali relaxed.
Instantly, a wave of drowsiness washed over her.
But Akali knew she wasn’t actually sleepy; her current body was countlessly stronger than her otaku body from her previous life.
Right now, it was just because she had just eaten, causing her blood to pool in her stomach.
Still, Akali allowed this feeling to temporarily consume her.
To outsiders, Akali looked cool and sharp, just like a traditional Ninja, but once anyone got close, they could feel her abundant energy and a slight touch of goofiness, making her quite an interesting person.
But in reality, Akali knew that her current state of mind was somewhat like that of a gamer; wearing a skin and a mask on her face, she naturally had no inhibitions.
But while gamers were free-spirited, it was also true that in the real world, her connections with others were not very deep.
Akali didn’t have many friends right now.
At most, because of previous events, she had gotten a bit closer to Hinata and Naruto, while everyone else could only be considered classmates.
Going home alone, eating alone, she would occasionally feel a bit lonely.
Of course, Akali wasn’t one to wallow in self-pity.
She was very satisfied with her current situation.
Although she had changed genders and worlds, her past world didn’t have a magical power like Chakra, nor did it have a system.
Not to mention that she now had an exquisite and radiant oval face, a full and soft chest, a tiny waist with a delicate belly button and charming dimples when her shirt was pulled up, and a pair of long, gorgeous legs.
In her past life, if she wanted to find a girl like her current self, winning five million on the lottery probably wouldn’t even be enough!
So, Akali smiled freely.
As the Chakra in her body circulated once, her post-meal drowsiness, along with a trace of vulnerability, dissipated, and her physical senses returned to her mind.
Akali touched the mask on her face, as well as her slightly heavy bracers and greaves.
Then, she opened the system and found the skin tab on her personal status panel.
A 3D model wearing the champion’s default skin, a 1-to-1 replica of Akali herself, appeared before her.
This was also one of the system’s functions—skins, which could be drawn using money.
Through skins, Akali could change her outfit.
She guessed that high-tier skins might even grant her special abilities, like Star Guardian or something.
However, Akali only had her default skin at the moment, so these were just speculations.
Then, Akali lightly tapped the panel, deselecting the default skin.
The equipment on her body instantly vanished, and a fresh, seemingly delicate and slender little beauty appeared in the room.
Looking at her bare body and feeling the cool breeze brushing against her skin, Akali’s face flushed slightly.
The system’s skins were indeed convenient—no washing needed, one-click outfit changes, automatic repair when damaged, and they even provided protective effects equivalent to armor and magic resist in the game.
At the same time, the mask on her face didn’t feel like a mask at all; she felt no breathing obstruction whatsoever, and it even purified the air.
It was just that returning to being completely naked every time she unequipped a skin was not very user-friendly, making her feel like an exhibitionist who loved being naked at home.
So Akali hurriedly ran into the bathroom, turned on the hot water, and took a quick shower.
A while later, drying her wet hair, Akali stepped out of the bathroom looking like a fresh lotus flower emerging from the water.
Now that she was done bathing—though she lacked the means to burn incense—it was time to draw cards!
“System, calculate my current emotion points and money.”
[Ding! Host’s command detected. Calculation beginning!]
[Ding! Current emotion points: 20,069; Money: 34,985 Ryo]
“Have my emotion points accumulated to over twenty thousand again? Not bad!”
Akali nodded.
The system’s gacha cost ten thousand per draw, whether using emotion points or money.
Her current emotion points and money were enough for five draws.
At the same time, Naruto had confirmed he would join her venture, which meant Akali’s money would come in very quickly later on, so there was no need to save too much.
“In that case, let’s draw them all!”
Akali gave the command.
[Ding! Host’s command detected. Gacha draw beginning!]
Following the system’s words, two virtual wheels of fortune appeared before Akali’s eyes and then began to spin simultaneously!
