After enhancement +5, now 6000 points is needed to enhance the White Snow.
(T/N: From now on, Ryosuke's Kusanagi sword will be called White Snow)
At the same time, Ryosuke also used a Guarantee Charm, a Luck Charm, and a Strong Luck Charm.
These three charms can be used at the same time, instead of only one at a time. But only rich people can do this.
Ordinary group members dare not do things like this at all.
After all, using three charms together, not to mention the basic cost of enhancement—
Just these three charms will cost 4500 points!
For these people in the group, who the hell would spend so many points for one enhancement?
If so, enhancing ten times will cost more than a hundred thousand points, right?
But Ryosuke, with his hundreds of billions of points, doesn't care about these expenses.
Ding~!
"Enhancement success!"
'Ding~!'
"Enhancement success!"
Ding~!
"Enhancement success!"
Really!
With the three charms, the success rate of the enhancement doubled.
From +5 to +10 without a single failure!
However, from +10 to +20, there were fifteen failures in between.
[White Snow +20]
[Characteristics: Ultimate Freeze, Ultimate Sharpness, Ultimate Lifesteal, Ultimate Piercing]
The characteristics of the White Snow increased to four.
And all four characteristics have reached the Ultimate effect.
Going up, who knows what level it will reach?
Ryosuke glanced at it but didn't stop. He continued to enhance!
...
Ryosuke kept clicking the enhancement button with his mind until all his 300 charms were exhausted.
In the end, he enhanced it a total of 105 times.
A total of 15,000 + 30,000 + 180,000 + 600,000 + 2,640,000 points were spent on enhancement, adding up to a total of 3,465,000 points!
Nearly 3.5 million!!!
This is much more than the points spent on buying the three kinds of charms.
A little more than twice the cost.
And finally, this White Snow was enhanced to +25 by Ryosuke!
The last 55 enhancements were all spent in the process of +20 to +25.
Just for +24 to +25, it took 19 tries.
All 18 attempts had failed. Only the last one succeeded.
+25 is too difficult!!!
Even with the combined effects of the Strong Luck Charm and Luck Charm increasing the success rate by 50%, the probability of success in enhancement was still too low.
"This 50% chance of success—why does it feel like it makes no difference at all? Is this real?"
Ryosuke couldn't help but complain.
Even though he's rich, it shouldn't be this brutal, right?
Fortunately, +25 White Snow is strong enough!
[White Snow +25]
[Characteristics: Godly Freeze, Godly Sharpness, Godly Lifesteal, Godly Piercing, Godly Sword Qi]
After being enhanced to +25, thi sword now has god-level lethality.
Even if someone who knows nothing about swordsmanship holds this, they can easily kill gods.
White Snow's five characteristics are all god-level.
Ryosuke took it out of the enhancement slot.
Holding it in his hand, he felt an almost peak god-level power surge into his body from the blade, becoming part of his strength.
"Good grief, a sword alone has the combat power of peak god-level!"
Ryosuke seemed to have discovered another way to get stronger.
That is—enhancement!
But this enhancement process is really not for ordinary people.
Just look at his expenses today.
More than three million points!
And he could only go up to +25!
If he wants to go to +26, the cost per enhancement will be 96,000 points, and even if he enhances it a hundred times, it still might not reach +30!
That hundred attempts would cost 9.6 million points!
But…
If it reaches +30, would the combat power of this sword ascend to godking-tier?
Ryosuke pondered.
But if reaching god-king level only required nine million points, it would be insanely cost-effective.
Not to mention nine million points—
Even if it were ninety billion, Ryosuke would consider it a worthy investment.
After all, it's god-king level!
"However, at +30, it likely won't reach true godking-level power. At most, it will be stronger than invincible god-tier, but still far from god-king level, like I am now."
"By the way, is there really no other rank between god-level and god-king level?"
"It feels strange!"
Ryosuke sheathed White Snow while contemplating these thoughts.
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "Screenshot.jpg! Just spent a little on enhancing a weapon successfully. Any thoughts from you guys?"
All the Hokages, whether busy with their own matters or debating whether to buy Guarantee Charms to enhance their gear, saw the new message in the chat group.
They instinctively glanced at it.
And with just that one look, they clutched their chests, feeling a suffocating weight settle in.
Damn!
Is this what it means to be rich?
But why isn't that them?!
All the Hokages felt a sense of existential crisis, wanting to curse but not knowing what to say.
For a moment, shockingly, no one spoke in the chat group.
After more than a minute later, someone finally sent a message.
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "What's up with your sword? It's too white, I don't like it."
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "Would you like me to give it to you?"
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Ah?! Are you going to give it to me? How embarrassing!"
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "I just asked if you want it, I didn't say I'd actually give it away."
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "..."
[Second Hokage] Tobirama: "Brother, shut up quickly! You're embarrassing our clan!"
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Haha~! That's not the case, right? Besides the world of the two of us and Madara, our clan in other worlds has been wiped out."
Ah, this...
Seeing the message from Hashirama in the chat group, Tobirama held his breath, unsure of what to say.
Should he scold his big brother from a parallel world?
But knowing Hashirama's personality, even if he scolds him now, he'll forget it in two days.
He won't remember it at all nor will he change.
He's just that kind of person—carefree but determined in his own way.
"Sigh~! It's my fate to have such a big brother."
Tobirama sighed, feeling an odd sense of relief.
Relief about what?
That his big brother in this world was already gone.
Though thinking that way might be wrong…
At this moment, Tobirama couldn't help but feel that way.
[Second Hokage] Tobirama: "@Ryosuke, how many points did you spend?"
[Fourth Hokage] Minato: "This sword looks insanely strong! A +25 enhancement level, with all god-level characteristics—it seems like it can kill gods!"
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "Not much, really. The base cost plus charms add up to less than six million. Honestly, it was dirt cheap!"
[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Less than six million, so cheap!"
[Fourth Hokage] Hatake Sakumo: "Less than six million, so cheap!"
[Third Hokage] Hiruzen: "Less than six million, so cheap!"
[Third Hokage] Orochimaru: "Less than six million, too cheap!"
[...]
[Sixth Hokage] Ryosuke: "I said it was cheap—what's the problem? Screenshot.jpg!"
…
The three Hokages who had joined the chat group yesterday instinctively clicked on the screenshot sent by Ryosuke, while the older members who already knew what to expect just laughed silently.
Then…
The three newcomers who opened the screenshot were instantly dumbfounded.
Tens of millions…
Hundreds of billions?!
Seeing the balance of over 100 billion points, they were speechless.
Subconsciously, they checked their own point balances again.
...
They fell silent.
Suddenly, they felt exhausted.
They just wanted the world to be destroyed—at least then, they wouldn't have to see this ridiculous gap.
If the difference were just ten or a hundred times, they might accept it.
After all, Ryosuke is absurdly strong—a god-level powerhouse.
Shouldn't his points be tens or hundreds of times greater than theirs?
But…
What the hell is this difference of hundreds of millions of times?!
Never mind.
Might as well destroy everything.
They felt tired. So tired.
"Haha~! These guys must be shocked."
"But this sword really is powerful."
"Spending just a few million points to get it to this level? Totally worth it!"
Ryosuke smirked as he looked at the silent chat group. Then, he closed the chat interface with a smile.
Afternoon, 2 PM
Ryosuke headed to Sakumo's parallel world.
He had promised Kushina a few days ago that they would train together today.
And when a beautiful woman invites you, you don't break that promise.
So…
That afternoon, Ryosuke trained with Kushina.
Of course, training inevitably led to some physical contact.
And for some reason—maybe it was exhaustion or heat—Kushina's face remained red the entire time.
She wouldn't even meet Ryosuke's gaze directly.
Evening
Kushina invited Ryosuke over for dinner.
At first, he hesitated. Rysouke remembered Kushina's questionable cooking skills and wondered if his god-level stomach could even handle her dark cuisine.
But after 0.1 seconds of hesitation, he agreed.
After all, if it turns out to be inedible, he can just pretend to eat it—then disintegrate it with Godly Dust Release before it hit his stomach.
For someone like Ryosuke, using Godly Dust Release in his mouth was child's play.
That way, he wouldn't offend Kushina or suffer himself.
A perfect plan!
But…
When Ryosuke arrived, he realized Kushina wasn't planning to cook.
She had ordered food from a restaurant instead.
"Ryosuke, do you want to drink?"
Kushina brought over a bottle of plum wine, glancing at him.
"Sure, but don't drink too much. Don't get drunk like last time."
Ryosuke nodded but reminded her to be careful.
"Hmph! That was an accident last time!" Kushina pouted in protest.
Ryosuke said, "Of course, of course, our Kushina is the best drinker!"
Ryosuke grinned, reaching out to pinch her cheek. He liked doing that—her cheeks were soft and fun to pinch.
Kushina said, "Hmph~! I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Kushina, blushing, huffed and quickly ran off to the kitchen.
Later that night
After dinner, Kushina dragged Ryosuke to the living room to watch what she called the latest movie.
Even though this world was at war, not every place was chaotic.
Places like the Land of Snow were still peaceful.
So naturally, the entertainment industry like movies hadn't completely disappeared.
