Chapter 708: The Female Lead's Intrusion!
Chapter 708: The Female Lead's Intrusion!
A Feast!
Nature is a wonderful thing.
Grilled Meat!
Beef from the Lightning Country and Sandworm Meat from the Wind Country.
Both meats were incredibly tender and delicious.
In the past, only the nobility and daimyo of various countries could afford to taste such delicacies.
Ninjas were not entitled to such luxuries.
After all, in the eyes of the nobility and daimyo, ninjas were merely tools and henchmen. When would they ever be qualified to eat the same food as them?
However, Skyguard Tower didn't bother with such concerns and directly acquired these items.
Transportation via the sky and sea, coupled with the 'Frozen' Barrier, ensured the freshness and tenderness of the meat.
Sizzle!
Slices of tender meat with snow-like patterns were placed on the grill, emitting a mouth-watering aroma.
"I never imagined that we could enjoy such delicacies. If I had known earlier, I would have come to Skyguard Tower sooner!"
Yaya Uchiha opened a bottle of strong liquor.
The beef from the Lightning Country and the strong liquor were renowned.
Skyguard Tower offered them in limited quantities.
Note that only ninjas could purchase a certain amount, and if ordinary people wanted to buy, the price would be doubled, and the quantity would be even less.
Are you worried that these shop owners only sell to ordinary people and not to ninjas?
The Bill!
By checking the bill, one could ensure that the seller provided half to ninjas and the remaining half to ordinary people.
If the seller didn't follow the rules, there were ways to deal with them.
There were quite a few similar situations.
Overall, Skyguard Tower provided top-notch welfare and treatment for ninjas, miko, and similar groups.
Of course, there were severe punishments for using these privileges to bully ordinary people.
"Have you encountered any troubles?"
As Takaki Nagai ate the grilled meat, he showed concern for the group.
These were potential stocks he had scouted, so it was natural for him to care about them.
"With me around, how could you possibly encounter any troubles!"
Yaya Uchiha confidently took responsibility.
And she wasn't exaggerating; with her personality, she had made friends with many people and was indeed doing very well.
"That's good. There will be some Water Country missions coming up. If you have time, you can take them on and earn excellent Contribution Points!"
Takaki Nagai took a sip of the strong liquor, causing his fair skin to blush, resembling the enchanting beauty of a crimson sunset.
"I... I'll consider it!"
Hina Hyuga, who was usually bold and carefree, seemed shy for some reason and nodded gently.
Tian Tian, with a scowl on her face, took a fierce bite, as if gnawing on Takaki Nagai's flesh.
"Tian Tian, if your contributions are sufficient, I guarantee you'll receive something that will allow your talent to flourish!"
Takaki Nagai turned to look at Tian Tian, Ning Ci, and Shino...
Yes, these missions were specifically designed to accommodate ninjas who didn't want to fight against Konohagakure, keeping them away from the battlefield.
It wouldn't be right to let them join Skyguard Tower and then have them turn against Konohagakure, would it?
So, it was better to send them to the Water Country to make use of their abilities.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir!"
The group expressed their gratitude.
"You can just call me Takaki in private!"
Takaki Nagai waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities.
He had always disliked such tedious etiquette, and Skyguard Tower was aware of this, so they didn't bother with formalities unless it was a public occasion.
To put it bluntly, these were just tools used by the nobility to restrict others and showcase their status. For ninjas who possessed extraordinary power, it wasn't something to worry about.
"Yes, sir!"
The group completely relaxed.
Especially Tian Tian, whose eyes sparkled as she looked at Takaki Nagai—he had prepared a special reward for her, and she felt his affection.
There was no resisting the allure of a heroic savior, coupled with the effort he had put into bringing her to Skyguard Tower, and now with the special treatment, he was the epitome of a 'domineering CEO' in their eyes.
Even Takaki Nagai's sisters, who had experienced countless social situations in their past lives, couldn't withstand the charm of a domineering CEO, let alone Tian Tian, a pure and simple girl. She was completely smitten and hooked, her lips curling into a pout.
After the barbecue, the group naturally disbanded.
"We'll take our leave first. Enjoy yourselves!"
Yaya Uchiha suddenly pulled Kurenai, who had a 'surveillance' look on her face, and left, leaving only Takaki Nagai and Hina Hyuga.
"Ahem, I remember there's a movie premiere today. How about we go and watch it?"
Takaki Nagai cleared his throat twice before extending the invitation.
For a beauty like Kurenai, he wouldn't pass up such an opportunity.
With some rare free time and no Uchiha Yaya or Hyuga Tsukikage around, if he didn't seize the moment, he'd start questioning if he was one of those 'Xin Wu Neng' male leads from manga.
Of course, Kurenai wouldn't refuse.
Upon arriving at the cinema, Tang Ping felt a bit awkward.
The movie was called "Fengyun Princess." The leading actress was indeed impressive.
Feng Hua Xiaoxue!
When he saw her, Tang Ping instantly thought of the 'Snow Country' storyline and, more importantly, two valuable technologies.
The Heat Generator and Chakra Armor!
Both were incredibly precious technologies.
The former could control a country's temperature, melting ice and snow.
Although it was only a small country, it still proved the potential of this technology.
However, compared to the latter technology, it was slightly weaker.
Chakra Armor!
This was the excellent invention that Feng Hua Nu Tao had 'hand-crafted.'
Not only was its defense power astonishing, but it could also amplify chakra, making it an extremely valuable item.
Although Tang Ping could also research it, he didn't have the time now. It was perfectly reasonable to target the other party.
After the movie ended, the production team came on stage to express their gratitude.
After all, Tenjiku was one of the most prosperous commercial cities in the Ninja World, so it was normal to have the movie premiere there.
Tang Ping turned to look at Kurenai, who was still blushing.
"Kurenai, do you want to earn some contribution points?"
Instead of sending her to the Water Country, he might as well have her help him retrieve those items.
With her as the leader and the newly arrived 'Qiang Qiang' as part of the team, it would be a perfect setup.
"One contribution point?"
Kurenai was no 'foolish beauty.' As a specialized genjutsu ninja, she sensed the opportunity.
"One contribution point will be a number that will satisfy you!"
Tang Ping made a promise.
If this mission succeeded and he obtained the two technologies he wanted, giving Kurenai additional contribution points wouldn't be excessive.
In the original storyline, it was just an S-class mission.
Pfft!
He didn't care about face.
Tang Ping could enjoy the benefits himself, and it was fine for others to have some soup.
"The total reward is ten million ryo, and five million contribution points. You'll lead Tian Tian... and the others on this mission. The enemy's strength is around the level of a Shadow Kage..."
Tang Ping explained the rewards.
Money was just a number to him; if he wanted, even ten billion ryo wasn't out of reach.
However, he had to maintain the mission system.
Nowadays, S-class missions typically offered hundreds of millions of ryo in rewards. If he set the reward at ten billion ryo, wouldn't future missions of similar difficulty have to increase their rewards?
So, he could publicly disclose the monetary reward but keep the contribution points as a hidden bonus.
To ensure the smooth completion of the mission, he also revealed Feng Hua Nu Tao's background in advance.
He had watched this movie edition, which was why he remembered it so clearly. In contrast, he hadn't watched the one by Hiruko and had only heard about it.
The advantage of prophecy!
Even though he had changed the plot by flipping the table, there were still benefits.
"I'll take on this mission!"
Kurenai exuded confidence.
She wasn't just a pretty face; she had fought on the battlefield and had the advantage of intelligence. If she couldn't complete the mission with all this support, she might as well retire on the spot.
"Perfect!"
Tang Ping no longer paid attention to this matter, but he soon felt dumbfounded.
With this super mission, Kurenai immediately left him behind and went straight to contact Feng Hua Xiaoxue.
Damn!
At that moment, Tang Ping realized what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
In the end, he could only return to the lab, feeling frustrated.
The next day, Kurenai eagerly accepted the mission and set off.
Besides recruiting Hanao and Guren for help, she also brought along Shino, Neji, Tian Tian, and Hinata.
She included Hanao and Guren to ensure overwhelming strength, while the others were there for training.
As for Hinata, she could join because, after a day of rest, she could fight even in her weakened state.
Even in her weakened state, she was stronger than Neji by a small margin.
Less than two days after the team's departure, a shocking piece of news rocked the entire Ninja World.
