GA: Chapter 150: [Rule-Class Items]— Infinite Possibilities
Uchiha Dance King: "This is certainly something worth paying attention to."
Uchiha Madara was also eyeing it with some covetousness. Dongfang Bubai had once shared the effects of her enhanced Star-Absorbing Technique in the chat group — the leap in capability had been so vast that an ordinary martial arts manual had essentially been pushed toward the realm of immortal cultivation.
If he could successfully enhance the Rinnegan... Uchiha Madara's eyes flickered. An enhanced Rinnegan should be no less than the Rinne Sharingan — perhaps even stronger.
No. Wait.
He could save this enhancement opportunity for later. Open the Nine-Tailed Magatama Rinne Sharingan after absorbing the God Tree, then enhance it after obtaining Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's power.
At that point, his strength would undoubtedly undergo a qualitative transformation.
Worst Spirit: "I'll leave this to the heavyweights to sort out. Someone as ordinary as me has no ability to participate."
Worst Spirit: "Wuwuwu, sad .jpg"
Electromaster: "I really want to take part too — I don't know if a successful enhancement could push me to Level 6, but judging by the magnitude of the jumps, it seems like it might."
Electromaster: "If I had Level 6 strength, I wouldn't need to be so wary of Accelerator."
Electromaster: "And lately — I don't know why — I keep feeling like someone's watching me. Probably just stress? Though things have been sorted out and there's nothing to stress about. Frustrating .jpg"
Misaka Mikoto found the feeling odd even as she was experiencing it. She was probably just imagining things.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Level 6 — as far as I know, nobody had reached that when I crossed over."
Ordinary Group Leader: "No idea what the situation is now."
Ordinary Group Leader: "I'd suggest not getting your hopes too high about succeeding, because the chat group itself said the enhancement probability changes based on the base value of what's being enhanced."
Ordinary Group Leader: "So the weaker the starting point, the higher the success rate."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Good thing the chat group isn't like a certain mobile game's gacha system. Because even at 99.9% I'd feel like it was impossible."
As she said it, the image of that infamous gacha mechanic surfaced in her mind.
She shook her head quickly. She wasn't going to think about that. Thinking about it made her feel like nothing would ever succeed.
Golden Flash: "I just noticed something in the task template — the one million points reward appears to be deducted from Lin Fengjiao?"
Golden Flash: "That's..."
The task reward — it came out of his pocket?
That said, it did make sense. It was his world's crisis after all. But it still looked strange somehow.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Yeah, that is a bit odd. Though I hadn't expected that someone as quiet as Master Nine would have at least a million points sitting in his balance."
Child of Nature: "A sect with ancient lineage — it would be more surprising if there weren't some accumulated reserves."
Child of Nature: "That said, this task's rewards are genuinely a little sparse."
Child of Nature: "One portion comes from Lin Fengjiao's own points, the other is an enhancement opportunity with a possibility of failure."
Child of Nature: "The task rewards don't seem to include the [Rule-Class Item]?"
Martial Arts King: "What exactly is a [Rule-Class Item]?"
The Oldest Godslayer: "Anything connected to rules is not to be taken lightly."
Ordinary Group Leader: "A [Rule-Class Item] is most likely a system — or possibly something like a Spacetime Bead, Chaos Bead, Heaven-Earth Bead, Transit Gate, Spacetime Door, or any of those items that let you travel between worlds. We collectively call these Golden Fingers."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Every transmigrator carries some kind of Golden Finger to varying degrees. What exactly it is comes down to their luck."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Back when I first crossed over, I thought the chat group was my Golden Finger — and then it turned out to be this useless thing!"
"Ding — error detected in chat group. Group Leader has been muted for ten minutes."
Child of Nature: "..."
Child of Nature: "Chat group — I want to know whether the [Rule-Class Item] would be of use to you, and whether we'll receive rewards beyond the stated task compensation after completing the mission."
Child of Nature: "A [Rule-Class Item] capable of transporting its host between worlds — you should understand its value better than I do."
In Bai Xuan's view, any transmigrator's Golden Finger could be classified into one of four types.
The first was self-enhancement oriented — improving memory and physical constitution. Common among urban rebirth protagonists.
The second was absolute within a single world — capable of helping the host reach the apex of that world, but without any cross-world capability.
The third could transport the host between worlds and possessed the ability to shield against the rules of other dimensions.
The fourth not only had cross-world capability but also provided the host with various forms of assistance and rewards — the way some Ten-Thousand-Worlds-type systems typically functioned.
Any Golden Finger connected to cross-world travel held enormous value in Bai Xuan's eyes.
Because they represented infinite possibility — those limited to two worlds notwithstanding.
The transmigrator in Master Nine's world was clearly of the third or fourth type. Their value absolutely should not be reducible to a pile of points and an uncertain enhancement opportunity.
"Ding — query from group member Child of Nature detected. Response initiated."
"Ding — the [Rule-Class Item] will provide different rewards based on its tier and the proportion of combat contribution from each group member."
The chat group's mechanical voice sounded in everyone's ears. Bai Xuan gave a single nod.
Child of Nature: "Let's decide on participants. To ensure the [Rule-Class Item] rewards are maximized, I'd suggest limiting participants strictly to the number the task specifies."
Child of Nature: "If too many people join, it won't benefit anyone."
Beyond denying rewards to the excess participants, it would also create friction between group members.
Lighthouse Richest: "Naturally, we understand that."
Lighthouse Richest: "So to make sure the task goes smoothly — those of us who are weaker shouldn't go and cause trouble."
Lighthouse Richest: "Sigh. If only I were stronger, I'd genuinely want to compete for a spot."
Golden Flash: "I'd actually like to go — but given Kushina's current situation, it's better if I stay with her."
Golden Flash: "There's also plenty in Konoha that still needs handling."
Namikaze Minato shook his head with a touch of regret. The time for Kushina's delivery was drawing closer — as her husband and the father of their child, he should be at her side. And there was far too much in Konoha that needed his attention.
The ANBU, the Foundation, the various clan affairs.
His current strength already far surpassed what the memory copies had shown. He wasn't certain whether it matched the First Hokage — but it shouldn't be far off.
Suppressing the current Konoha was well within his capability. But Konoha's problems couldn't be solved with strength alone.
Even Danzō — without sufficient evidence, he couldn't move against him yet.
