Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Collecting Herbs to Pay Off Debts

Yuto fully recovered after half a month of recuperation at Bubu Pharmacy, which made him admire Baizhu's medical skills. If he had sustained such injuries in the Naruto World, he would have been bedridden in a hospital for at least half a year.

During his half-month recovery period, Yuto wasn't idle; instead, he continuously checked his body and the compatibility of his abilities within the allogene World.

Fortunately, Yuto seemed to have brought everything he gained in the Naruto World with him, completely intact. As a qualified Chunin of the Uchiha Clan, Yuto's skill level was genuine, without any exaggeration.

Beyond that, there were the basic ninja techniques of standing on walls, walking on water, and parkour.

Even the greatest cheat of the Uchiha Clan was just a pair of Sharingan with two tomoe, which he only awakened when he was on the verge of death in the Naruto World, under immense despair and unwillingness.

Although it sounds rather weak, in the allogene World, such combat power is enough to stand out among ordinary people. However, if he were to encounter a Vision holder, he probably wouldn't be considered strong enough.

But Yuto knew that none of the above were the most valuable things in the allogene World; the most precious thing was the Chakra refining technique.

On the continent of Teyvat, there are seven elements: Hydro, Pyro, Electro, Cryo, Anemo, Geo, and Dendro. These seven elements originated from the seven elemental Dragon Sovereigns of ancient times. However, the First Throne, Phanes, descended upon Teyvat from another world and defeated the seven elemental Dragon Sovereigns.

Afterward, he created a new world with humans, and humans thus stepped onto the stage of history. But because human bodies were too frail, they could not withstand the side effects of wild elements entering their bodies. Therefore, most humans were unable to master elemental power.

This is very similar to the Senjutsu Chakra in the Naruto World. If a human absorbs too much natural energy while practicing Senjutsu, their body will begin to petrify.

But the gods always show a special fondness for humans. To certain special individuals, the Heavenly Principles will bestow a Vision as a gift. The Vision has become an external magical organ that allows humans to master elemental power. With a Vision, one can avoid being corroded by the wild elemental energy when absorbing elemental power.

It's just a pity that the Vision seems to be unique; once it recognizes a master, only the owner can use it. Even if someone steals his Vision, they cannot use it. And if the owner dies, the Vision becomes an empty shell, good for nothing but display, possessing high collection value.

However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, Tianquan Ningguang's Vision was an empty shell that suddenly glowed brightly while she was playing with it and writing an auction proposal. This empty Vision shell surprisingly recognized her as its master, which actually made her quite disappointed.

The Chakra refining technique he brought from the Naruto World gave him infinite possibilities in the allogene World. He could confirm that he did not have a Vision, but he could still cast the Great Fireball Jutsu.

Chakra is a special energy created by mixing physical energy, produced by the 130 trillion cells in the human body, with mental energy in equal proportions. This energy originates from the human body itself, not absorbed from external sources.

Theoretically, everyone can produce Chakra, and then, by leveraging their own Chakra affinity, transform it into the corresponding element and release it. This would allow them to master elemental power without the aid of a Vision.

If others knew he possessed this technique, not to mention anything else, Snezhnaya would probably go to extreme lengths, perhaps even sending a Harbinger to personally bring him back and hand him over to Dottore to interrogate him for the Chakra technique, given that their painstakingly researched Delusions would suddenly lose their market.

On one side, there's the completely harmless but slightly higher-threshold Chakra technique, and on the other, the Delusion, which requires the sacrifice of life force to use. The superiority is immediately clear.

Thinking of this, Yuto decided to find an opportunity to get a fake Vision as a cover. Before he found a fake Vision, he would never expose his secret of being able to use ninjutsu in front of outsiders.

However, as far as Yuto knew, the only people who could make fake Visions, besides a certain Archon of Anemo who doesn't do proper work and a certain penniless God of Geo, seemed to be Yoimiya in Inazuma, who possessed the craftsmanship for fake Visions. Currently, Inazuma has the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree in place, so he couldn't possibly go all the way to Inazuma just for this, could he?

After Yuto recovered, under Baizhu's smiling gaze, he was semi-forced to join Bubu Pharmacy for work. The reason was simple: to cover his half-month medical expenses. It wasn't much, just a hundred thousand Mora, but for Yuto, who had just transmigrated and was penniless, it was an astronomical sum.

Mora, a currency created by Lord Morax, the Geo Archon, and widely used throughout the continent of Teyvat. From Yuto's understanding of allogene, the purchasing power of Mora is quite perplexing. In the game, Taroumaru's secret stash has 180,000 Mora, Sayu's monthly salary is 200,000 Mora, and a certain white mysterious floating spirit, who also serves as emergency food, consumes 300,000 Mora in food expenses alone each month.

The prices in Teyvat are roughly 100 to 1 compared to real-world prices, meaning one yuan's purchasing power is similar to one hundred Mora's. Calculating this way, one hundred thousand Mora is roughly one thousand yuan. Yuto found this price for fifteen days of medical expenses acceptable, so he readily agreed.

After much thought, Yuto decided to stay at Bubu Pharmacy as a temporary herb gatherer, led by Qiqi, accompanying him to gather herbs. As a well-known large pharmacy in Liyue City, Bubu Pharmacy has an enormous demand for medicinal ingredients. Some common herbs can be purchased from herb merchants.

However, some special herbs, such as Qingxin and Violetgrass, grow in towering mountains and steep ridges. Herb merchants have very limited stock of these and they are expensive. Therefore, herb-gathering children like Qiqi are needed.

At first, when Baizhu heard that Uchiha Mikage wanted to become an herb gatherer, his first reaction was to object. Sending a young man who had just recovered from a serious illness to climb various mountains to pick herbs was simply not taking his own life seriously.

But Yuto immediately demonstrated his skills to him. Under Baizhu's horrified gaze, he directly jumped down from Bubu Pharmacy, landing safely without the aid of a Wind Glider. Then, with a few jumps, he easily returned to the high-up Bubu Pharmacy.

Baizhu stared at him for a long time, considering, and finally agreed to Yuto's request. However, given his unfamiliarity with medicinal herbs, he arranged for Yuto to go gathering herbs with Qiqi.
