Looking at the upgraded system panel, Shane felt there wasn't much change.
The level changed from LV1 to LV2, but the parenthesis still said "Apprentice Ninja" (Genin).
The problem is, whose apprentice ninja knows so many ninjutsu?
You think this is a Konoha Genin?
Wake up, you are a Naruto God Tycoon System, not Konoha. This job title is very unreasonable!
The heartbeat reward did increase, from the original $1 USD to the current $2 USD. At the same time, the experience required to upgrade also changed from 10,000 to 20,000.
Overall, the feeling this upgrade gave Shane was: Come, come, come, I'll give you a raise. Continue playing music, continue dancing!
"The upgrade didn't open other functions. It shouldn't increase the quality level of the lottery prizes either, right?" Shane looked at the lottery that now required 200 points per draw and secretly muttered a reverse jinx (trying to jinx himself into good luck).
2000 points, ten consecutive draws.
Ding!
"Consumed 200 points."
"Reward obtained: Spirit Transformation Technique."
Holy shit!!!
The first shot was the Spirit Transformation Technique. Did the reverse jinx succeed?
Ding!
"Consumed 200 points."
"Reward obtained: Short Sword."
Pretend I didn't say what I just said.
Finally, the ten consecutive draw results:
Spirit Transformation Technique x1
Short Sword x1
Sealing Tag x1
Konoha Forehead Protector x1
Sealing Jutsu (Basic) x1
Shuriken x5
...
Although the reverse jinx didn't succeed perfectly, Shane was very satisfied with the result of this lottery draw. Originally blessed with European Emperor (extreme luck) status, perhaps the first draw after upgrading also increased the luck attribute?
The Spirit Transformation Technique was one of the three ninjutsu he wanted most at the moment. It could let his soul leave the body. Common uses were possessing to kill, transmitting intelligence, or confirming a target's life or death.
Shane believed the biggest use of this move was dealing with those spirit bodies without physical forms. A real man has to clash head-on, whether it's body or soul.
Uh... that sounds a bit weird somewhere. Forget it, that's not important. What's important is that he now has the ability to deal with ghosts and wraiths.
Unfortunately, there were no ghosts or wraiths right now for him to try it out on.
The Sealing Tag was very useful. With it, he wouldn't need to expose his unpresentable drawing skills in the short term.
Sealing Jutsu (Basic)—this wasn't a collective name for the prefix of all sealing ninjutsu, but the most basic sealing knowledge and techniques. simply put, things like bagging heads after hunting vampires today wouldn't happen again. He could directly use Sealing Jutsu to seal items or corpses into scrolls. It was a very practical ability in daily life.
For example, the Colt. After learning Sealing Jutsu, he wouldn't need to carry it with him. He could seal it directly into a scroll and put it back into the system. Even if the Yellow-Eyed Demon, Azazel, knew the Colt was in his hands, he shouldn't even think about finding a chance to steal it.
I don't want to give it. Don't say you, Azazel, are a Prince of Hell, the current ruler of Hell. Even if God comes, it's useless—I said so!
Poof!
Shane used a blank scroll to seal the Colt, gun and case together, directly. Then he retracted the scroll, thinking somewhat greedily of Obito Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan ability, Kamui.
To be precise, the Kamui Dimension!
The Kamui Dimension was equivalent to bringing a portable otherworld space. The effect was much stronger than sealing scrolls. At the very least, sealing scrolls couldn't seal living people, while the Kamui Dimension could. It was very suitable for someone like him who had no fixed abode, liked to buy various things, and loved to bring a driver when traveling for adventures.
Suddenly encounter danger, worried about the driver's safety?
Put them in the Kamui Dimension.
Bought too many things, inconvenient to travel?
Put them in the Kamui Dimension.
No fixed abode, don't know where to put items?
Put them in the Kamui Dimension.
The Kamui Dimension was simply a must-have ability for home and travel. Want it so much!
Leveled up, drew lottery, sealed gun. Although somewhat dissatisfied, Shane could only comfort himself that there would be bread (better things will come). And then... sleep.
Nothing to say all night.
The next day, Shane and Jo checked out and left the hotel. First, he transferred one hundred thousand dollars to Elkins, then drove away from Manning.
"Do we really have to go back directly? We've only been out for a few days. The bar hasn't been renovated yet, so there's no place to live. I don't care; I'm a country girl, any environment is fine. can you handle it?"
Jo pretended to be calm while driving, trying to persuade Shane to change his mind.
Shane smiled lightly and raised the corners of his mouth. He didn't intend to go back so soon this time anyway.
On one hand, with the bar renovation, he would have nothing to do if he went back, wasting time and missing many surprises. On the other hand, after getting the Colt, he definitely had to find the Yellow-Eyed Demon, Azazel. It's best not to drag out face-slapping and revenge for too long. Revenge is most satisfying when taken immediately.
Although Shane didn't know where Azazel was and didn't want to follow the plot to wait for a rabbit by a tree stump (wait passively), with the Colt in his hand, he could totally make Azazel come to him on his own initiative.
However, in this case, he couldn't let Jo follow.
If Azazel possessed Jo, not only would his advantage come to naught, but he would also be restricted everywhere due to fear of collateral damage. He was looking for Azazel to slap his face, not to send his face over to be slapped!
"should be about time." Shane said suddenly.
Jo asked in confusion, "About time for what?"
"Time is about up. Even if you turn back now, you probably won't find the main body. So... don't waste your efforts. Be good and drive back to Wisconsin yourself."
"What do you mean? What main body? Aren't you right here?"
After three consecutive questions, Jo, realizing what happened, hurriedly slammed on the brakes and asked tentatively with a fluke mind, "You... you are a Shadow Clone?"
Although Shane hadn't used the Shadow Clone Technique in front of her, she had heard Olivia and the others talk about this magical Shadow Clone before.
"Bingo!"
"Correct, but unfortunately no prize."
The Shadow Clone smiled and explained: "The main body wants to kill the Yellow-Eyed Demon. It's inconvenient for you to follow him. So after transferring the money to Elkins, he replaced himself with me. My chakra isn't much; I should disappear after explaining. Be careful on your way back. Remember to call home to report safety."
Poof!
White smoke appeared. The Shadow Clone disbanded and disappeared.
Jo looked at Shane, or rather Shane's Shadow Clone, who disappeared just like that, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is it necessary?
To drive me home, he actually used a Shadow Clone to trick me?
But... this kind of Shadow Clone is really magical. If I knew Shadow Clone, Mom probably wouldn't be able to stop me from being a hunter, right?
Leave the Shadow Clone at home, go out hunting myself. Just thinking about it feels exciting!
