“Even the technology category isn’t cheap?!” “Is this Main God Space seriously balanced this tightly?
There’s absolutely no way to trade low-level rewards for some ridiculous high-end weapon and just carpet-bomb everything!” Shu rubbed his chin as another thought suddenly occurred to him.
“If it’s this balanced, then those broken exchange bugs Reincarnators used to abuse probably don’t exist either, right?” He immediately typed into the search bar.
“Search: Elf Wind Archer Bloodline, Telekinetic Floating Cannons, Water Transportation Art…” A few seconds later, the screen displayed the results.
The Elf Wind Archer Bloodline actually existed.
But when Shu opened its description, he discovered that the absurdly broken skill Wind Arrow had been ruthlessly removed by the Main God.
If he wanted it, he’d have to purchase it separately.
As for things like Telekinetic Floating Cannons and the Water Transportation Art, they didn’t even exist in the exchange list.
‘So much for exploiting bugs.’ ‘Forget it.
I’ll just upgrade honestly.’ Shu began typing in what he actually needed.
As an Uchiha, there was only one enhancement that could bring him the greatest immediate leap in combat power.
Hashirama Cells!
If he could obtain Senju Hashirama’s terrifying regeneration and enormous chakra reserves, it would make up for the Uchiha clan’s relatively fragile bodies.
More importantly, once Shu awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future, Hashirama Cells could nourish his eyes and eliminate the risk of going blind.
It was practically the perfect cheat for an Uchiha!
“Search: Hashirama Cells.” The screen flickered and quickly displayed several matching results.
[Senju Bloodline (Senju Hashirama Version)] [Description: From Naruto.
The exclusive bloodline of First Hokage Senju Hashirama and the ultimate mutated form of the Senju clan’s bloodline.] [It is the perfect Sage Body of an Asura chakra reincarnation.] [The holder gains physical abilities at the absolute peak below Six Paths level, along with tailed-beast-level chakra reserves.] [It also grants seal-less super-regeneration, allowing even fatal injuries to heal automatically within seconds.] [Exchange Cost: 1 A-Rank Side Plot and 8,000 Reward Points.] Everything matched what Shu already knew.
But when his eyes reached the final line of small text, his brows furrowed.
[Note: This bloodline only provides the constitution and may serve as the foundation for awakening Wood Release.] [The Wood Release Kekkei Genkai itself must be purchased separately.] “What the hell?!” Shu froze.
‘An A-Rank Side Plot makes sense.
We’re talking about the God of Shinobi here.’ ‘But Hashirama’s perfect bloodline doesn’t even come with Wood Release?!’ ‘How is this any different from that Elf Wind Archer Bloodline?!’ A bad feeling suddenly rose inside Shu.
He immediately searched for Wood Release.
[Wood Release] [Description: From Naruto.
A Kekkei Genkai formed by combining Water and Earth-nature chakra.] [It allows the user to freely control the growth of trees and create forests.] [It possesses exceptional physical offense, absolute defense, wide-area control, and other versatile capabilities.] [It also possesses the unique power to suppress and absorb the chakra of tailed beasts.] [Prerequisite: Senju Bloodline required.] [Note: The power of Wood Release is directly related to the user’s bloodline.] [Exchange Cost: 1 A-Rank Side Plot and 6,000 Reward Points.] “…” The corner of Shu’s eye twitched.
‘Well, fuck me.’ The Main God had taken Hashirama’s complete cheat package and deliberately split it into two separate products.
If you wanted Wood Release, you first had to buy the bloodline.
And after buying the bloodline, if you wanted to actually use its greatest ability, you had to pay again for Wood Release!
‘Why does this look exactly like the scummy DLC schemes those shameless game companies used back in my old world?!’ Shu sharply sensed that something was wrong.
The Main God’s pricing strategy was apparently far more predatory than he’d initially imagined.
To fully confirm his suspicion, he immediately searched for the Uchiha Bloodline.
The results appeared.
Shu was left completely speechless.
Just as he’d expected, the Main God really did fucking sell everything in separate pieces!
[Uchiha Bloodline: Cost: 1 B-Rank Side Plot and 4,000 Reward Points.] [Note: This bloodline only provides affinity for Fire/Yin chakra natures and basic enhancement to neural reaction speed.] [It does not include any level of Sharingan awakening.] Shu sneered and continued scrolling through the accessory list.
Then he actually started laughing from sheer anger.
[One-Tomoe Sharingan (Requires Uchiha Bloodline): Cost: 1 D-Rank Side Plot and 1,000 Reward Points.] [Two-Tomoe Sharingan (Requires One-Tomoe): Cost: 1 C-Rank Side Plot and 2,000 Reward Points.] [Three-Tomoe Sharingan (Requires Two-Tomoe): Cost: 1 B-Rank Side Plot and 3,000 Reward Points.] It was a bottomless pit designed to drain a Reincarnator’s savings one level at a time.
But when Shu saw the ultimate option at the top, his blood pressure nearly exploded.
He almost spat blood directly onto the screen.
[Mangekyo Sharingan (Requires Three-Tomoe): Cost: 1 A-Rank Side Plot and 6,000 Reward Points.] [Note: The basic Mangekyo Sharingan exchange only includes ultimate dynamic vision and a massive chakra enhancement.] [Unique Dōjutsu such as Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Kamui, and Kotoamatsukami, as well as access to Susanoo, are advanced independent skills.] [They require an additional equivalent Side Plot and Reward Point cost for a random draw, or double the price for a specific selection.] Shu stared blankly at the screen for a long time.
Then he quickly did the math in his head.
Under this scammer Main God’s piecemeal pricing system, turning yourself into a proper Mangekyo-level Uchiha powerhouse through exchanges would cost a fortune.
First came the Uchiha Bloodline.
Then One-Tomoe, Two-Tomoe, Three-Tomoe, and finally the Mangekyo itself.
After that, you still had to buy two unique Dōjutsu and Susanoo separately.
The entire deluxe package would cost at least an S-Rank Side Plot’s worth of resources plus tens of thousands of Reward Points.
“Sure, this body already comes with the Uchiha Bloodline and One-Tomoe Sharingan, so I can skip two purchases…” “But honestly, it still isn’t much better!” Shu clutched his chest.
His heart felt like it was bleeding.
A moment ago, that high-rank Side Plot and 8,800 Reward Points in his pocket had felt incredibly satisfying.
After seeing the price list?
They suddenly felt worthless.
That much money wouldn’t even make a splash.
“With what I have now, if I stay within the Naruto system, I could probably only afford an ordinary Senju Bloodline at most.” But an ordinary Senju Bloodline would only slightly increase his chakra capacity and physical recovery.
It wouldn’t provide any decisive leap in combat power.
Besides, although the Uchiha clan had smaller chakra reserves compared to the Uzumaki clan, Shu wasn’t actually lacking chakra compared to ordinary civilian-born shinobi.
“Or maybe upgrade my One-Tomoe all the way to Three-Tomoe?” Shu checked the prices again.
After calculating carefully, he immediately rejected that option too.
The Main God’s rules were written perfectly clearly.
Every stage had to be unlocked in order.
Skipping levels was forbidden.
