What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?

"Ahhh!! Too many! Too many! I can't kill them all!!!"

"Idiot, stay in your position and don't move around!"

"Obito, Kakashi, keep it up, we can do this!"

"Don't worry! Sensei will protect you!"

The sounds of flesh being torn, slicing, explosions, and the detonating seals all intertwined, and along with them, the howls of the zombies.

This was the situation that Minato's team was facing.

Because after advancing for a while and easily taking out some of the zombies, they encountered a typical feature of zombie games—a zombie horde.

At a certain point, due to loud noises or encountering special zombies that could call for reinforcements, hordes of zombies would burst out from all directions, accompanied by terrifying howls.

Of course, in games, it may look like zombies are charging from all sides, but from a bird's-eye view, you'd realize they are just spawning out of nowhere.

These zombies continued to emerge like a tide, filling the entire visible area. This scene was something the ninja world had never seen before—an unprecedented terror. 

Whether it was those fighting in the Genjutsu game or the viewers watching the live broadcast, everyone was shaken by the scene.

In fact, many couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned their eyes away, with their heartbeats racing and heads buzzing, clearly showing the impact of the fright.

However, just like most scared people watching horror films, those too scared to look away couldn't help but sneak peeks. The most common way was to cover their eyes with their hands, only to look through the gaps in their fingers at the projection.

It was all about wanting to watch despite the fear.

Then, several bellowing sounds like that of a bull rang out, followed by piercing shrieks. Special mutated monsters appeared alongside these sounds.

The first to appear were a few "humanoids" over two and a half meters tall, with one arm thin and the other incredibly thick. 

After they appeared, they immediately charged forward using their thick arms, and the bull-like bellowing sound came from them.

These creatures were like armored vehicles, charging wildly. Wherever they passed, any zombies blocking their way were immediately crushed into pieces, fully displaying a sense of bloodthirsty violence.

Next, the shrieking creatures appeared. They were all grotesque, small, and deformed, with rotten bodies that were horrifying to look at. 

They resembled monkeys, leaping through the horde of zombies. As they moved, they often stepped on the heads or shoulders of the zombies, using them as springboards to leap even further.

These mutated monsters, which were different from regular zombies, had their sights set on Minato's team of four, launching a fierce attack on them, who had originally maintained a formation.

Seeing this, the four-person formation was broken. At Minato's command, "Scatter!" the team quickly split up, avoiding the attack of a few charging mutant bulls. 

Unfortunately, Obito was unlucky and got directly ridden on the head by a monkey mutant that charged in later. 

After that, a flurry of tearing and biting ensued, causing Obito to let out screams of agony.

Once the monkey mutant mounted a player's head, it triggered a "strong control" effect, rendering the attacked player unable to do anything. They could only run wildly, uncontrolled, or collapse on the ground, needing others to rescue them to break free.

At a critical moment, Minato acted swiftly. With precise shuriken throws, he exploded the monkey mutant's head. He then threw more shuriken, knocking down the other monkey mutants, resolving the trouble of being surrounded.

Afterward, Minato, wielding his sword, and Kakashi entered their "frenzy mode," while directing the rescued Obito and Rin to use ranged weapons to pin down the mutated bulls charging at them.

In no time, blood and flesh were flying, and blood splattered everywhere, creating a scene resembling a meat grinder—a truly terrifying and thrilling sight.

In this world, which had no censorship or rating system, the footage played out without any edits.

Some viewers, with low psychological tolerance, felt an intense wave of nausea and almost vomited.

Fortunately, the staff on-site had been instructed beforehand, and some quickly brought up vomit bags and water to assist those who couldn't handle the scene.

Luckily, these individuals were in the minority. Konoha was a military stronghold, and its residents had witnessed many bloody and horrifying scenes. 

Merchants from other regions were well-traveled and used to such sights.

Plus, the ninja world itself was a barbaric place where human lives were as cheap as grass, so people's reactions were generally calm.

The majority of emotions stemmed from this unprecedented, entirely new experience, contributing to an immense emotional value.

Uchiha Kai looked at the emotional value, which had already surpassed 100,000 in such a short period, feeling quite satisfied. 

He decided to try spending 10,000 emotional points for a ten-pull lottery. 

Each lottery pull cost 1,000 points, and unlike the initial mission, the emotional points earned here did not require waiting for a settlement and could be used immediately.

In an instant, a stunning crystal appeared in front of Uchiha Kai on the system panel, and it immediately shattered with a loud crash.

Then, ten glowing items exploded out from within.

As far as special effects go, it was quite impressive.

But...

"..." Uchiha Kai's expression went from mild anticipation to complete indifference in an instant.

The reason was that the items from the ten-pull were quite difficult to describe.

It wasn't that he got the classic "Thank you for your patronage," and there were indeed items, but unfortunately, there were only four types: canned cola, bagged chips, chicken leg burgers, and braised beef instant noodles—basically, fatty snacks.

And they were all unbranded, no-name products.

In the end, Uchiha Kai could only mutter "6" before trying another ten-pull.

This time, there were two more items: grilled Orleans chicken wings and spicy beef instant noodles.

"..." Uchiha Kai stared at the items that were automatically stored in the system's backpack, then silently took out a can of "Fatty Happiness Water" and opened it for a sip.

Ssss~~

It tasted pretty good, giving him a feeling of nostalgia for Earth, and he could clearly feel his mind becoming much clearer. Despite it not being cold, it had a strong energizing effect.

No mistake, after taking that sip, the frustration brought on by the disappointing gacha pool did indeed fade a little. While savoring the past, Uchiha Kai carefully examined his emotional value and the pool's status.

He then noticed a "20/300" number in the corner of the system panel. After inquiring about it, he learned it was a special "guarantee" system—after 300 pulls, he would definitely get an item of blue quality or higher.

By the way, both of his ten-pulls had yielded white-quality items, and the pool had a typical mix of white, green, blue, purple, and gold items.

One couldn't help but say, the Game Developer System was truly something—learning all the shady gacha tactics from those money-grabbing mobile games, it seemed like it only picked up the bad stuff, not the good.

Only after 300 pulls would there be a guarantee, and even then, the guarantee was just a blue-quality item. Whether he could get something better was purely a matter of luck. 

From the looks of it, the pool was incredibly disappointing, and the emotional value gacha pool was truly something else.

Compared to this gacha pool, the mall system is more straightforward. You can see the good items for sale, and you're guaranteed to be able to buy them.

I can only say that this "artificial intelligence" system has really gone all out to turn the host into a super grind king.

After a moment of silently complaining in his mind, Uchiha Kai took another sip of his "Fat Happy Water" soda. 

The refreshing sensation revived him, causing him to pause for a moment and subconsciously glance at the can of cola in his hand.

It seems…

This "Fat Happy Water" isn't just any ordinary soda.

After a moment of thought, Uchiha Kai took out two new cans of cola and called over an Uchiha guard. He instructed them to deliver the soda to the Uzumaki sisters in another room, along with a message: "While tasting, check if this drink has any special effects."

Though a little surprised that Uchiha Kai suddenly pulled out something they had never seen before, the Uchiha guard faithfully carried out their mission without asking questions or thinking too much. They simply took the items over as instructed.

Once the guard left, Uchiha Kai returned his gaze to the projection screen in the square. He continued watching Minato's team's "performance" while occasionally drawing from the emotional value gacha pool. His approach was casual, simply clicking and drawing at random.

Meanwhile, his system bag kept filling up with various items. The focus was on collecting more of those "storage rats"—after all, the system's "junk" didn't seem like ordinary trash. 

Instead, it appeared to have special effects. It was necessary to stock up on more and then carefully study them later.

As for Minato's team in the game, after cooperating in battle for a while and adapting to the constant fighting, they started to come up with new ways to have fun.
