What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?

[Beep~ Congratulations, Host! You've sold a total of 5,000 game copies, earning 100 million local currency, which is approximately 33.33 million RMB when converted according to the price. You've surpassed the sales target, completing the task ahead of schedule.]

[Beep~ Congratulations, Host! You've received the highest-level reward. The system is now fully activated, the store is open, and the emotional value exchange system is now available.]

[Beep~ Congratulations, Host! You've received 1 Platinum Chest, 1 Gold Chest, and 1 Silver Chest.]

[Beep~ Congratulations, Host! You've successfully completed the beginner trial and the system is officially unlocked. Please work hard and strive to become the greatest game developer in the world.]

[Host, please prepare well over the next three days. The task system will be reactivated after three days.]

This was the information transmitted by the system.

The task that originally had a one-month deadline was completed instantly—all thanks to the explosive sales.

500 copies + 100,000 RMB for the original limited edition, and now, the game copies sold were ten times the initial amount, with sales revenue reaching 333 times the target.

Such an exaggerated overachievement directly exceeded the system's maximum limit for task completion, leading to early settlement and the highest reward being issued.

Moreover, different quality chests were directly given, and Uchiha Kai observed that these chests were somewhat like lottery prize draws, containing items of corresponding quality. 

When the chest was opened, items of the same quality would randomly appear.

Damn it, this is just a treasure chest lottery system!

Damn, even after crossing over, the Goose Factory is still after me!

Uchiha Kai sucked in a cold breath. While he was happy about the early completion of the task, he couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort.

However, completing the task was a good thing. He immediately checked out the store and mood points exchange system that were activated after the system's official launch.

These were the features unlocked after the system officially launched, serving as rewards for Uchiha Kai's successful completion of the beginner trial.

This wasn't unexpected. When the system announced this task, Uchiha Kai already understood that the tasks he had completed earlier were just part of the classic beginner guide phase released during the early stage of the system.

Now, having truly completed the series of tasks, he had achieved the real reward.

And not just completed, but exceeded the requirements.

The facts proved that Uchiha Kai's decision to seek support from the Uchiha clan and hold this press conference was indeed correct. 

It was because of the experience during the press conference and the marketing techniques from Earth that he was able to sell out immediately after the event.

Not long ago, the representatives of the major clans who had come to event immediately found Uchiha Fugaku and the others, expressing their desire to purchase the Genjutsu game.

After all, that "gift to Konoha" was incredibly impactful, fitting the classic sentiment of "If you don't buy, you don't love Konoha." Even if the ninjas wanted to express their affection for Konoha, they had to spend money to buy it.

Moreover, the actual effectiveness of the Genjutsu game had been fully demonstrated through Minato Namikaze's performance. In order to improve themselves, their families, friends, and clans, the ninjas would not hesitate to spend the money, eagerly placing orders.

Although 20,000 Ryo wasn't cheap, compared to the enhancement in strength, it was practically like a giveaway, so of course, they were all eager to buy as much as they could.

There was no situation involving deposits; they all paid in full upfront. Although the organizers had not prepared enough game scrolls, simply taking preorders wasn't a clever tactic, so Uchiha Kai naturally decided to use the stock directly.

Additionally, the merchants who had come to Konoha were also very interested and would buy some to sell in other places.

Although these merchants couldn't immediately calculate the actual sales, the demand from the ninjas within Konoha alone was enough to be absorbed.

Since each official version of the Genjutsu game scroll could only be bound to one person by a blood drop, when ninja clans purchased them, they would often buy in bulk based on the total number of ninjas in the clan. 

The system would then count the actual situation of the buyer, resulting in a final quantity that matched the actual needs.

In this regard, the system was indeed intelligent, at least being able to judge based on the actual situation of the buyer, rather than assuming that purchasing more would only be for one person.

Similarly, even though the number of Genjutsu game scrolls ready for sale was limited, as long as there was an order and payment, the system would include those in the final sales statistics.

Hmm? 

How is the currency exchange rate between the ninja world and Renminbi (RMB or Yuan) calculated?

The "Ryo" in the ninja world isn't the ancient Chinese silver, but rather a general currency term in the ninja world.

With the current price of 60 Ryo for a bowl of ramen, the system directly converted the local currency into Renminbi at a 3:1 exchange rate, resulting in a total sales figure of 33.33 million Renminbi.

Of course, this was just the amount counted by the system. The actual final sales volume and revenue were definitely much higher, but once the system recorded a large order, it stopped further calculations.

Uchiha Kai estimated that the final sales would exceed 200 million ryo.

That's nearly equivalent to ten Asumas.

Huge profit!

Without a doubt, huge profit!

Although the sealing scrolls were expensive, in bulk purchases, the price could be reduced to below 5,000 ryo, while the actual production cost was around 6,000 ryo. The rest was pure profit.

With such a large profit, even the Uchiha clan would be envious.

It should be noted that from constructing the venue to hosting the press conference today, as well as hiring numerous ninjas and laborers, the total investment from the Uchiha clan was just over a million ryo—after all, in a world with low productivity, labor costs are truly low.

In terms of making money, this was a huge win.

Just look at Uzumaki Kushina's expression. This sealing jutsu researcher had been roped into the genjutsu game as a partner by Uchiha Kai. 

She, along with Namikaze Minato, the lifetime spokesperson, shared 5% of the stock, and now they were both excitedly counting their earnings.

Although it was only 5%, the profits from the genjutsu game were not solely for the Uchiha clan. Even Uchiha Kai, the founder, only held 10%.

The remaining 85% was divided, with the Uchiha clan claiming 35%, and the remaining 50% being shared today with some other worthy ninja clans.

In fact, Uchiha Fugaku was already negotiating with representatives from various clans, explaining that the genjutsu game would soon operate as a true business model. 

A Company had already been established for this purpose, with the simple and unremarkable name of "Konoha Gaming Company," which would exclusively handle game-related operations.

The Uchiha clan would not monopolize the profits. They warmly invited any ninja clan with an interest and vision to join, simply requiring them to invest some funds and contribute some of their clan resources to help promote the products to the ninja world in exchange for eligibility.

Naturally, after the major ninja clans heard about it, they all agreed.

Anyone with a keen eye could see the vast potential of the genjutsu game and understand just how much benefit it could bring. 

And the fact that the Uchiha clan wasn't keeping it all to themselves, but rather sharing it with everyone—who would miss this feast?

In the end, the Hyuga, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, and other famous ninja clans from Konoha all joined in.

Even the Senju clan, who had abandoned their surname to integrate into Konoha, had members join, generously offering to invest. 

Among them were even the Sarutobi, Mitokado, and Utatane clans—the three clans of the Konoha Council.

As for Shimura Danzo...

Well, one can only say that the Shimura clan was really unlucky to get caught up in the mess with Shimura Danzo. The clan had long since fallen into decline, becoming mere commoners, with a policy of being ruthless to enemies and even harsher to their own people.

In short, a super-interest group, almost containing most of the major ninja clans of Konoha, was formed.

Most people only saw huge profits and a bright future ahead. They also thought that the Uchiha clan had really changed their ways. 

Such a large business, one that would continue to make money in the future, was surprisingly being shared with everyone. It was completely unexpected, and as a result, the public's favor toward the Uchiha clan skyrocketed.

Only a few smart people, like Nara Shikaku, saw deeper things. They recognized that a powerful interest group, capable of influencing all of Konoha, had emerged.

Moreover, even if the higher-ups of Konoha saw the problem, they couldn't do anything about it. This time, even their own people had joined in. 

If they wanted to take action against the Uchiha clan, they would be directly opposing this interest group and would face resistance and opposition from their own clans.

It was truly...

A move to cut off the root of the problem!

Nara Shikaku, who had played a role in getting the Ino-Shika-Cho trio involved, couldn't help but feel emotional. He thought the person who had orchestrated such a massive plan for the Uchiha clan was really impressive.

Although, on a global scale, this kind of strategy wasn't all that remarkable—those daimyo, nobility, and ruling classes would all play similar games—it was a completely different matter in Konoha, a place with no relevant professional education. 

Most people only thought with their muscles, and political education was almost nonexistent. This was a true dimensionality reduction blow.
