While the two were conversing,
the Dead Soul Mountain Range and the Scarlet Wasteland had already gathered countless players.
Even the Four Great Ninja Villages, who had been busy digesting their spoils in reality after invading Konoha, rushed into the Reincarnation Game.
The competition between Dawn and Kirigakure had reached a fever pitch.
Inside the warehouse, various materials and equipment were continuously sold off for reward points, which were then used to acquire silver hearts from rogue players.
Although most elite players were ninjas,
there were also commoner players who, by virtue of their methods and strength, became part of the first tier.
They chose not to join any faction but instead gathered together, capable of hunting in the Hell-level Dead Soul Camp. Although the success rate was not high, they could still occasionally obtain silver hearts.
"Zhihua-sama,"
said a Dawn Faction player dressed in a Level 15 green mage robe, "Most of the materials in the warehouse have been sold out. The remaining reward points cannot be used further; they are needed to maintain the normal operation of the faction."
The Dawn Faction leader, Konan, with her flowing purple hair and indifferent expression, nodded and said, "Twenty-seven silver hearts. I'm afraid this is most of the hearts players could collect during this period. As for the rest, even if Kirigakure has some hidden materials, it's impossible for them to surpass us."
Over several months, even ignoring the new players, the number of top-tier players capable of clearing the Hell-level Dead Soul Camp was nearly a thousand.
Yet, the number of silver materials dropped was pitifully small.
It was likely that the entire Reincarnation Game wouldn't have more than fifty.
"Zhihua-sama, all the reward points accumulated during this period have been spent. Shouldn't we wait until Kirigakure and Sunagakure establish their families and the price of silver hearts drops before we acquire them?"
A Dawn Faction player with a wrinkled face and pale skin asked, puzzled.
Most commoners in the Rain Country shared his appearance; strenuous labor accelerated skin aging, and lack of sun exposure gave them a sickly pallor.
He was among the first recruited players. By leveraging his early start and his desire to change his difficult circumstances, he climbed to a high position within the Dawn Faction, responsible for managing the warehouse.
Konan shook her head slightly and said, "According to the Reincarnation Game's rules, the first hunt of a Lord-level contamination will have a first-kill reward. The first faction to establish a family will certainly also receive an additional reward."
"However, if that were the only reason, the Game Merchant would never have allowed five hours to expand the family territory."
She paused, and a hint of indignation, rare for her usually cold expression, couldn't help but surface as she explained, "I'm afraid it's to make players compete with each other, so they can drain the reward points we've accumulated in our warehouses."
The facts proved that the option to expand family territory very easily drained all the assets of the two major factions in the Reincarnation Game.
Yet, these reward points absolutely had to be paid.
One by one, silver hearts were thrown into the family token, and the area enveloped by white light continuously expanded.
Boom.
As white light scattered, a massive stone tablet descended from the sky.
Around the stone tablet, a circle of city walls rose from the ground, quickly enclosing the family territory and blocking all players except Konan from entering.
Family territory: Without the approval of a family official, no external player may enter.
[Family territory selection successful. Please name your family.]
[Dawn!]
As Konan named the family, the massive stone tablet began to shed stone chips, as if a craftsman was carving the words "Dawn" into it.
A light screen popped up.
[Dawn Family]
Family Level: 1
Family Emblem: None
Family Buildings: Family Tablet (Family disbands if destroyed), Level 1 Family Wall
Patriarch: Zhihua
Family Officials: None
Family Members: 1 / 200
...
In the server channel, the Game Merchant released a new announcement.
[Game Merchant]: Congratulations to player [Zhihua] for creating the Dawn Family! As the Dawn Family is the first family in Ninja Newbie Village, if it maintains the top family ranking for three days, a special reward [Fixed Family Emblem] will be issued to the Dawn Family.
"There really is a reward!"
Konan's face lit up with joy.
At the same time, looking at the subsequent rules, she realized she had to maintain the top position for three full days to receive the reward. The subtext was that if a newly established family surpassed the Dawn Family, the reward would not be obtained.
How was "surpassing" defined?
Konan, curious, clicked on the folded detailed content.
[Family rankings are temporarily not enabled. Family ranking is currently based on territory size.]
"Good, with the remaining silver materials, no one should be able to surpass Dawn in terms of family territory size."
Konan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It seemed the reward points spent on high-priced silver materials were not wasted. If no major changes occurred, the special reward would undoubtedly belong to Dawn.
"All eligible Dawn Faction players, enter the family first!"
"Once the family level increases, subsequent players can then apply."
A Level 1 family has a limited number of members it can accept. It needs to increase its family level and expand its members' residences before it can continue to recruit new members.
Looking at the humble family territory, consisting only of a stone tablet and a circle of walls, everyone was excited.
This was the first family in the Reincarnation Game.
The server channel was already abuzz with discussion.
"I already guessed that the Dawn Faction players would be the first to establish a family. The financial power of Zhihua, a noble from the Rain Country, is like a bottomless pit. Everything makes sense."
"Didn't you notice the special reward? Kirigakure spent a high price acquiring silver hearts. Do you think they'll just let this go?"
Indeed, not long after this statement, a new announcement from the Game Merchant appeared again.
[Game Merchant]: Congratulations to player [Light of Kirigakure] for establishing the Kirigakure Family! As the number of families has changed, a special reward [Fixed Family Emblem] will be awarded to the strongest family in three days.
"Can we no longer acquire silver hearts?"
Mei Terumi's gaze remained gentle, but her lips held no curve. The Kirigakure player who had been gathering intelligence had already reported to her.
The Dawn Family had invested a full twenty-seven silver materials, making their family territory larger than Kirigakure's by a circle.
She coveted the special reward as well.
"All the silver materials in the hands of rogue players on the market have been sold out. We acted too late and the Dawn Family snatched up a large portion."
"The Merchant Alliance still has five, but they are asking for ninety thousand reward points per piece."
The Kirigakure player in charge of the warehouse said indignantly.
The Merchant Alliance was a group of bloodsuckers who raised prices on the spot.
"Then forget it,"
Mei Terumi waved her hand and said, "Do you have any clues about the special reward?"
She was more skilled in combat and command. As for detailed analysis, someone in the Kirigakure Family was good at it.
Ao bowed slightly and said, "I just finished reading the family introduction. The [Family Emblem] is a special item that can provide a buff effect to the family."
"Every week, the patriarch will have one opportunity to purchase a random family emblem. After activating it, they will receive a family emblem with a random effect, priced at one hundred thousand reward points."
Mei Terumi's exquisite eyes widened abruptly, and she exclaimed, "How much money?"
"One hundred thousand reward points."
Ao looked at the somewhat flustered Mizukage-sama and repeated helplessly.
