Chapter 5: Chapter 3.1 : Game Rewards!!
The next day, around 10 AM, with the sun nearly at its peak, Uchiha Kai woke up from a deep sleep, feeling his body aching all over, and immediately realized that his bladder was about to explode.
The deep sleep had been so intense that even the natural urge to urinate hadn't been enough to wake him up.
After rushing to the bathroom and finally taking care of his physiological needs at lightning speed, Uchiha Kai felt a sense of relief. Only then did he recall what had happened the night before.
He felt somewhat speechless at the situation and decisively shifted into "cutting mode": "As expected, the inherently evil Uchiha bloodline has affected me. An Uchiha is an Uchiha—prone to extremes. Even I, a time-traveling individual with a strong sense of justice, am now thinking about revenge against world. What about the rest of the Uchiha?"
"When the inherently evil Uchiha collide with the even more sinister Konoha leadership, it's like Mars colliding with Earth, dry firewood meeting a blazing fire, a rat encountering rice—one side is bound to face a crushing defeat. And with the Uchiha clan's temperament, it's highly likely they'll be wiped out by their own clan member, Uchiha Itachi . Staying in Konoha, I'll end up like a pill for sore throats, it's clear now that I need to leave Konoha as soon as possible."
"Speaking of which, the game is set up, has the system rewarded me yet?"
With that thought, Uchiha Kai opened the system interface to check.
He saw the notification that the beginner's task from last night had been completed, and the reward had been issued.
However, the reward was something Uchiha Kai didn't expect at all. It left him stunned for a moment, followed by a surge of intense joy.
Because the system reward was—10% increase in physical attributes!
All physical attributes had increased by 10%!
The system's physical attributes included energy, stamina, strength, and agility.
A game system actually providing a physical attribute bonus was truly absurd.
Was this system doing this on purpose, or was it a mistake? Is it really some kind of artificial intelligence malfunction?
With such thoughts in mind, Uchiha Kai asked the system why it had given such a reward related to his physical attributes. The system provided an answer.
However, upon hearing the answer, Uchiha Kai was left speechless and confirmed that the system was indeed an "artificial intelligence handicap," in a way, still very much in its infancy.
The system's answer was that, as an excellent game developer, one must possess a strong body and energy.
In order to create exceptional games and outwork the competition, one must be ready to work overtime relentlessly, adopting the mindset of a "competition king" to defeat competitors.
Without an excellent body and sufficient energy, even if the host had extraordinary abilities, they would be "outworked" in the 2024 game market—damn, even the system knew how cutthroat the market was.
Thus, the system's decision to provide physical enhancement rewards was entirely reasonable, aimed at ensuring Uchiha Kai could better compete in the game market.
In addition to the physical enhancement, the rewards also included increased recovery abilities, further strengthened game development skills, heightened mental agility, focus abilities, and every other possible buff that would enhance Uchiha Kai's position as the "king of competition" in the gaming industry.
The system's ultimate goal was to make Uchiha Kai a being who would no longer need sleep, perpetually full of energy, an invincible emperor in the game industry—a legendary figure that would reduce countless capitalists to tears—an ultimate powerhouse!
Upon learning all of this, Uchiha Kai's silence was deafening.
Finally, he slowly spoke, "System, are you sure you are a game developer system, and not an innate powerhouse cultivation system?"
The system's answer was, of course, an unshakable yes. No matter how outrageous it sounded, it insisted that it was a game developement system.
Uchiha Kai couldn't argue with that.
However, after regaining his composure, Uchiha Kai became excited, even ecstatic.
Because this comprehensive physical enhancement reward was practically "heaven-defying" in the ninja world!
If he were still on Earth, the reward the system gave would likely only turn Uchiha Kai into a Captain America-level individual with enhanced recovery abilities—though impressive on Earth, it would hardly compare to the ninja world!
After all, the people in the ninja world naturally have cells that are twice as numerous as those on Earth, granting them stronger innate attributes.
As a ninja, even if Uchiha Kai's talent was fairly average, just an ordinary Chūnin for now, any percentage-based enhancement would be extraordinarily powerful.
For example, right now, after carefully feeling his body, Uchiha Kai realized that the physical limitation he had always been aware of had been forcefully raised.
Although he could still sense the height of his potential, it was much stronger than before.
Moreover, it's important to note that a 10% increase in all physical attributes meant far more than just a simple 10% increase for Uchiha Kai.
Because in the ninja world, chakra is a product of the fusion of mental and physical energy—essentially, it's energy created from the combination of mental strength and life force.
With the system providing a 10% boost to all attributes of his body, and since energy is also considered part of his physical attributes, Uchiha Kai's chakra had also been enhanced.
Combined, his total chakra amount had increased by at least 20%.
It may not seem like much, but for Uchiha Kai, it meant he could use one more B-rank ninjutsu.
And when it came to life-saving low-level jutsu and escaping ninjutsu, the benefits were even greater.
But the most important thing was…
"This is just a beginner's boost. If I continue completing system tasks, how strong can I become in the future? Reaching the level of a Kage shouldn't be a dream, maybe I can even imagine surpassing a Kage?"
Uchiha Kai murmured, his lips curling up into a smile so wide it was almost impossible to contain, like an AK being too quick to suppress.
Well, forgive Uchiha Kai for fantasizing about surpassing a Kage, after all, the harsh reality of the world had already taught him some painful lessons. He understood that, many times, effort alone couldn't compare to having an unfair advantage.
Now, though, he had his own advantage. But within the original Naruto story, those who could surpass the Kage level and reach the Six Paths level were, without exception, hackers.
Otherwise, they were members of the Otsutsuki clan, the complete "hack" family from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Everyone had a cheat, and Uchiha Kai didn't believe his cheat was stronger than theirs—after all, his cheat was just a broken artificial intelligence that happened to be in the wrong world.
If he had been given a system from something like Dragon Ball or a fantasy world, maybe then he could imagine something more.
At this moment, Uchiha Kai was waiting for the system to release a new game creation task.
Since making games could make him stronger, why not be a "workhorse" and become a developer of mass-produced games?
However, the system's response made Uchiha Kai fall silent because…
