Unconsciously, nine days had passed.
The countdown in Uchiha En's mind finally reached zero.
Uchiha En quickly checked the changes to the turntable, and ultimately found that, apart from the turntable getting slightly larger, there were no other changes.
"It seems I'll have to experience the specific changes in the text game." Thinking this, Uchiha En immediately spun the turntable.
Previously, when Uchiha En spun the turntable, a mysterious fluctuation would sweep across his body, giving him the strange feeling that he had extracted something without losing anything at all.
Then his vision distorted; the turntable vanished instantly, replaced by countless specks of light scattering in all directions, like a brilliant meteor shower in the depths of the starry sky. When the light specks re-aggregated, they formed lines of text.
The special effects after spinning the turntable were now noticeably more magnificent. If the previous effect was a meteor shower, the current one was the Big Bang.
Furthermore, the re-aggregated font changed from ordinary black block letters to something that felt like a vibrant, colorful black—seemingly black, but actually showing multiple color variations.
"You have logged into the Naruto of a parallel dimension."
"I can log into a parallel dimension?" Uchiha En thought with some surprise.
"This is Konoha Year 63. The current Hokage of Konoha is the Fifth Generation, Tsunade."
"You are an ordinary Chunin in Konoha Village. Under the influence of the Will of Fire, you diligently execute missions and dedicate everything you have to Konoha."
"After finishing a full day's work, you arrive at the entrance of the izakaya. The location is excellent; you can look up and see the Hokage Rock featuring the four Hokage-sama."
"The person you admire most is the Fourth Hokage-sama, Haruno Kizashi."
Seeing the name Haruno Kizashi, Uchiha En frowned. This wasn't a parallel dimension; this was clearly the world of Limited Tsukuyomi!
"After admiring the heroic appearance of the Fourth Hokage-sama at the entrance, you turned and walked into the izakaya."
"After eating and drinking your fill, you returned home and fell asleep."
"Late at night, a violent explosion suddenly echoed through the Village. Startled awake, you quickly dressed and rushed outside."
"At this moment, a black-haired person wearing a blue robe and a fox mask was floating above Konoha. The powerful Chakra emanating from him made you afraid to look him straight in the eye."
"In his hand, he held a high-density black Chakra sphere. The sphere gradually expanded before he threw it down toward the Village."
"Rumble—Following a deafening crash, a flash of white light occurred, and then you knew nothing."
"You died under Uzumaki Menma's Great Spiraling Ring."
"Game over."
"Gained Attribute Point x1. Gained Character Game Ability Draw Opportunity x1."
After reviewing the rewards, Uchiha En understood what this upgrade entailed. If all went well, after every text game, he would be able to draw one ability from the game characters.
Uchiha En then chose to draw. A small turntable appeared out of thin air, evenly divided into more than a dozen small grids.
The grids contained Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and personal assets.
Uchiha En quickly scanned the options. The best reward inside appeared to be 200,000 of the two types of silver (money).
The Ninjutsu known by this Chunin was only C-rank at best and had no value for learning.
Uchiha En casually spun the turntable. The pointer finally stopped on C-rank Wind Release: Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.
"Since the player has already learned this Ninjutsu, the drawn Ninjutsu will automatically be converted into Attribute Points. Player gains Attribute Point x1."
Seeing the prompt from the text game, Uchiha En nodded in satisfaction. Gaining an extra Attribute Point was certainly good.
Uchiha En then turned his attention to his attribute panel.
Chakra Level: 266
Constitution: 145
Eye power: 260
Vitality: 29
Nature Affinity: 4
Level: lv30 (0/50)
Attribute Points: 2
"Did the experience points increase?" Uchiha En muttered to himself.
He remembered that it took 10 experience points from Level 1 to 10, 20 points from 10 to 20, and 30 points from 20 to 30. If the previous pattern held, 30 to 40 should require 40 points, but now it required 50 points.
So, would the experience requirement from 40 to 50 become 70 points? Or was there some other growth pattern?
Uchiha En couldn't figure out the experience point issue for now, so he put it aside. He checked the other changes and basically grasped the functions after the text game upgrade.
First, the text game's special effects had become flashier. Second, the reward mechanism changed to a fixed grant of Attribute Points plus the ability to draw the protagonist's ability from within the text game. Finally, the increase in Experience Points had changed.
Having figured out the changes to the text game, Uchiha En clicked on the gift package icon to the right of his Level.
Two gold gift boxes appeared in his hands.
"Huh? There are two this time? It looks like one of them is compensation for these 100 days." Uchiha En muttered to himself.
He then immediately opened both gold gift boxes.
Inside one of the gold gift boxes was something that resembled a Ninjutsu scroll.
Just like the previous two times, the scroll vanished the moment Uchiha En's hand touched it, and a skill appeared in his mind.
Skill Name: [Return of Life - Modified]
Skill Type: Passive Skill
Skill Effect: Allows the user to quickly replenish consumed physical energy through eating, heal injuries, restore Chakra, and increase recovery speed.
Skill Cost: None
Friendly Tip: This skill is not the same as the original Return of Life. It removes the ability of Return of Life to perfectly control the body but enhances the effect of recovering oneself simply by eating. Consumed food can be immediately converted into Chakra and Vitality; the same applies to soldier pills. This skill cannot be upgraded, but as long as you have enough food, you can activate the 'invincibility cheat' like Luffy.
After reading the skill description, Uchiha En's eyes lit up—this skill was incredibly powerful! It was a divine skill, just like Teleportation.
If he were to rank the three skills he had received so far from the gold gift boxes, Teleportation would definitely have the highest versatility, followed by Return of Life, and finally Insight.
This wasn't to say that the Insight skill wasn't strong; it was just that Uchiha En already possessed the Sharingan. At this stage, the Sharingan's observational power was essentially sufficient, and Insight only slightly raised the Sharingan's upper limit.
Both Teleportation and Return of Life, however, directly enhanced Uchiha En's combat strength.
Starting with Teleportation, Uchiha En's current strength, without using it, was about 50/50 against an average Jonin.
But with Teleportation, he could catch a Jonin off guard and instantly kill them. Even when facing an Elite Jonin, Uchiha En could remain undefeated.
And Return of Life greatly improved Uchiha En's stamina during combat. Just imagine fighting an evenly matched enemy: you fight for a while, then pop a soldier pill to restore health and Chakra. The enemy would surely break down!
