Just strengthening and forging, along with the endless flow of interdimensional shops, already kept players fully occupied, leaving no energy for other matters.
Why would they be willing to abandon the combat power system, which allowed for rapid strength enhancement, and instead invest most of their energy into purifying the world and increasing their reputation points?
"Of course, it's because… power!"
Fang Yi smiled, waving his hand through the air in front of him.
A light screen suddenly appeared, displaying constantly changing territories of various game families.
"For example, family territories…"
Fang Yi's gaze fell upon the Hidden Mist Village's family territory as he said, "The Reincarnation Game has lifted its rule restrictions, allowing players to build houses, cultivate fields, and raise beasts within their territories."
The cultivated fields did not grow ordinary crops;
instead, they grew herbs emitting faint water-attribute aura, which could be used to create water-attribute potions.
The various beasts raised could also continuously produce low-level equipment to be distributed to the civilians and ninjas of Hidden Mist Village who had not yet become players.
Not just Hidden Mist Village,
most factions in the Ninja World and Pirate World cultivated expensive life skills to ensure their logistical support.
"However, family territories are still too limited; each expansion requires a large amount of reward points, and they can only accommodate a few thousand, or at most tens of thousands, of people."
Fang Yi smiled broadly and said, "So, what if a family could become a village?"
"A town, a prefecture, or even a nation?"
"As long as players hunt pollution diligently enough, I can even let them establish nations, truly ruling a certain territory."
Leaving aside other things,
the emergence of the family system had already changed the combat methods in the Pirate World and Ninja World.
In the past, Whitebeard could destroy an entire island with his bare hands, and Kaido could annihilate nations with brute force.
Sasori of the Red Sand's puppet jutsu also had a record of nation destruction.
But now,
even the strongest Orochimaru in the Ninja World, attempting to destroy a small faction like Frost Ninja Village alone, would be badly wounded by the defensive weapons on its city walls.
He would have to pay a very high price.
"Why was the concept of nations in the Ninja World and Pirate World once overlooked?"
Fang Yi looked at the perplexed White-haired Loli and smiled, "It's because, no matter how much wealth you accumulate, it can easily be plundered by those with military strength."
Especially in the resource-rich Pirate World,
no matter how wealthy a nation was, if a top-tier expert like Kaido merely lifted a finger, even the nation itself would be destroyed.
Therefore, most powerhouses treated nations with disdain.
Big Mom's nation was merely to satisfy her gluttony and her desire for all races to coexist harmoniously.
"However, the towns and nations bestowed by the Reincarnation Game are not such fragile things."
Family territories had already given players a taste of the benefits.
Various weapon manufacturing functions, breeding, animal husbandry, and other features could save a large amount of reward points.
A single family could raise a small army of hundreds of people.
And as long as they didn't actively seek death, enemies wanting to destroy a family would need to be of comparable strength, not just any single person who could blow up the family.
This gave them ample motivation for self-production.
"The right to rule a nation means an endless supply of soldiers, a large amount of constantly regenerating game resources, and manpower that can produce and manufacture assets for players…"
Fang Yi rubbed the White-haired Loli's head and asked, "Do you think players will be tempted?"
"Very tempted!"
Not to mention players, even Afu was very tempted.
Fang Yi intended to break the original patterns of most worlds.
Vast nations possessed enormous origins, but due to the world consciousness's concerns and worries, these assets and origins were simply wasted.
Like Alabasta, it guarded vast origins but couldn't even birth decent powerhouses,
and was easily manipulated by Crocodile.
Since that was the case,
then the Reincarnation Game would bestow a ladder to the peak for these wasted origins and sealed nations.
…
Everyone followed Uncle Jiu out of the graveyard and returned to the Yizhuang on the outskirts of Ren Family Town.
[Entered Daoist Faction [Uncle Jiu's Yizhuang], Reputation Status: Normal]
Tip: Under normal reputation, players are neutral with this faction, with certain restrictions. Basic communication and regular quests can be undertaken.
Uncle Jiu led everyone to the backyard and said, "Since your goal is also to bury Ren Laotaiye, if you have nowhere else to go, you can stay at the Yizhuang for now."
"The Blood-Robed Taoist has already stolen the coffin, and Ren Laotaiye turning into an evil corpse is unavoidable."
"However, three days later, at the time of extreme yin, the evil corpse will need to absorb the fresh blood of its closest relatives to grow stronger. It will definitely return to Ren Family Village then and find the Ren Family mansion. We just need to set up an ambush in advance to catch both the Blood-Robed Taoist and the evil corpse in one fell swoop."
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, everyone felt a little more at ease.
Their main quest was to eliminate the evil corpse. If they failed to complete it, they would suffer punishment from the Reincarnation Game, deducting various items, skills, equipment, and even their four-dimensional attributes.
The backyard was very spacious, the houses were clean, and the doors were open.
As Tanjiro walked into one of the rooms, a prompt appeared before his eyes.
[Do you wish to reside in this building? 200 reward points will be deducted daily.]
[Yizhuang House]: Upon residing, gain [Purity Lv.1] status. Daoist spell-type skill cultivation speed +1.
"So expensive."
Tanjiro, who came from a small place, simply couldn't bear to spend those reward points as accommodation fees.
It wasn't until the game prompted that Breathing Techniques were categorized as a branch of Daoist spell-type skills that he reluctantly chose a room.
Kunie and Nohara Rin, among others, chose rooms in the corner,
which had no status bonuses and only cost five reward points per day.
After a night's rest,
Tanjiro felt refreshed. Although he had only been sleeping, his Water Breathing had gained new insights.
This feeling was like a sudden enlightenment.
His gaze fell on the room on the far right, which cost two thousand reward points daily and had a [Purity Lv.3] status bonus. It would likely bring him even greater gains in Breathing Techniques.
But it was indeed too expensive.
Tanjiro came to the front hall of the Yizhuang and saw a figure wiping a coffin. He actively walked up and greeted, "Are you the disciple Uncle Jiu mentioned? Thank you very much for the Yizhuang's hospitality. Is there anything I can help with?"
[Qiusheng Lv.7 (Daoist Acolyte)]: Uncle Jiu's disciple.
The handsome Qiusheng, seeing the somewhat clear-eyed Tanjiro, rolled his eyes and said, "You are Master's guests, so I shouldn't make you work, but since you offered, then help Master wipe all these coffins clean."
As his voice fell,
a line of black text appeared.
[Side Quest Activated]: Help the lazy Qiusheng clean the yin energy from the coffins.
Quest Reward: 200 reward points, Qiusheng's Favorability +5
"Leave it to me!"
Tanjiro was practically a born workaholic. Without a word, he took the duster from Qiusheng's hand
and began wiping dozens of coffins.
After a busy period, the quest was completed.
Players gathered together, exchanging information about what had happened.
Kunie said, "I followed Uncle Jiu to Ren Family Town and triggered many side quests, all related to vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts. Completing them grants reward points."
She didn't accept any of them to avoid complications.
Nohara Rin smiled gently and said, "I also went to Ren Family Town, but I went alone and didn't trigger the side quests that Sister Kunie mentioned."
"It seems that certain conditions must be met to accept side quests."
After some thought, everyone reached a general conclusion.
Reputation points.
As a highly respected individual who exorcised demons and protected the safety of Ren Family Town, Uncle Jiu naturally had very high reputation points, which is why Kunie, who followed him, could trigger side quests.
However, the players' reputation was too low, and some commissions would simply not be given to them.
"No wonder everyone rushes into the quest worlds."
Guina took a deep breath, her eyes resolute. "It truly is a good place to quickly become stronger. Although it's full of dangers, the rewards are extremely generous. I absolutely must become stronger!"
To become the strongest female swordswoman.
She couldn't be looked down upon by that lost little brother, Zoro!
Tanjiro scratched his head and said, "Everyone, I also have a new discovery…"
