Chapter 69: New Ability! No More Need to Drink Coffee! Seeking Support

"Made it in time!"

On the Main God Plaza, Main God Ren Arakawa heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

"Did you resolve the trouble you wanted to resolve?"

A nearby Nuowa asked weakly.

Ren Arakawa couldn't help but give Nuowa a hug. "Yeah! You were a huge help! If it weren't for your Side Plot..."

Main God Ren Arakawa had exchanged for the return time from *Alien: Covenant*. From Nuowa's perspective, it was just an instant.

One second Ren Arakawa was still wearing a spacesuit.

The next second, he reappeared, looking disheveled, covered in scars, and missing an arm.

As soon as he returned to the plaza, he eagerly checked the exchangeable items in the Main God's sphere of light, which Nuowa found very strange.

Seeing Ren Arakawa's anxious appearance, stomping his feet and beating his chest, Nuowa couldn't help but ask what had happened.

Main God Ren Arakawa's return point in *Alien: Covenant* was Earth.

At that time, Earth didn't have rare things like Xenomorphs, so it was very difficult to earn Reward points.

Originally, he had planned to simply treat it as a vacation and rest for a few days.

But then on TV, he saw that the Weyland-Rentani Corporation was preparing to launch a new Ship.

The new Ship was called the Covenant, and its speed was more than five times that of the Covenant.

Seeing this, Main God Ren Arakawa didn't hesitate. He charged into the Weyland Corporation alone and successfully took control of the Ship.

After boarding the Ship and contacting the female lead Denise, after a brief reminiscence, Ren Arakawa obtained the coordinates of the Engineer's planet, flying towards a point-farming spot.

By the time he reached the Engineer's planet, there were already less than six hours left before his return time.

Fortunately, the Engineer's plaza was too conspicuous, and the last time Mengyao went on a frantic incubation spree, this place had long become a gathering spot for Xenomorphs.

The new generation of Xenomorphs were much stronger than the ones Ren Arakawa had first faced.

The Xenomorphs here were evolving!

Also, whenever a Xenomorph died, it would forcefully thrust out its tail barb.

The corrosive effects of the Xenomorphs' blood and saliva had also been strengthened.

Despite the harrowing experience, losing an arm, and completely depleting his Chakra, Main God Ren Arakawa still successfully farmed six thousand points and returned to the Main God Plaza.

The synchronized screen showed Hokage Ren Arakawa unexpectedly confronting Kakuzu, and his heart sank.

They could only synchronize things like physique, ninjutsu, and skills, but not items. With only Reward points and no Side Plot, Main God Ren Arakawa didn't know how to save this situation.

It was at this moment that Nuowa saw his predicament, and Ren Arakawa voiced his needs.

Nuowa didn't hesitate either, trading him a C-rank Side Plot.

Ren Arakawa didn't have time to ask how Nuowa got a C-rank Side Plot and immediately exchanged for the Stitching ability he wanted.

[Stitching: From the Abomination in *World of Warcraft*. Requires 3000 Reward points and a C-rank Side Plot.]

Seeing Hokage Ren Arakawa stitch the Earth Grudge Fear onto himself, obtaining the ability of Wind Release: Earth Grudge Fear, Main God Ren Arakawa finally had a moment to speak with Nuowa.

"Thank you for your generosity. How did you get that Side Plot?"

"I..." Nuowa's face flushed red. "I took that corridor back then and entered a small room. On a table in the room, I saw a pile of unknown metal triangles. Thinking they might be useful, I took all of them with me."

"Later, I forgot about it. When I arrived here, I heard the Main God say that I had collected the Engineer's genetic modification technology and received a C-rank Side Plot."

Ren Arakawa quickly helped her check the relevant entries.

Sure enough, among the Xenomorph-related entries in the sphere of light, there was indeed an unlocked technology.

[Engineer Bio-Armor Crafting Manual: From *Alien: Covenant* and *Alien: Prometheus*.]

A dense list of required materials was written on it. Ren Arakawa couldn't be bothered to study it, so he closed the sphere of light and seriously thanked Nuowa.

"No matter what, I'll protect you in the next movie. To show my gratitude, I'll pay you back with interest."

"It's alright." Nuowa quickly waved her hands. "You saved me. It's all thanks to you that I even have this. I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway. I'm happy I could help you."

Since she put it that way, Ren Arakawa wasn't stingy. He was extremely generous, spending one thousand Reward points to help Nuowa exchange for two Sanqing Daoist Talismans, and on top of that, tossed her another one thousand five hundred Reward points.

[Sanqing Daoist Talisman: Requires five hundred Reward points. Support type. Can heal all but fatal wounds.]

"Take these."

"Also, for these one thousand five hundred Reward points, I suggest you exchange for mental strength. If the next horror movie is a spiritual-type horror, it'll be hard for me to protect you. With mental strength, you might be able to do something."

"Th-thank you!" Nuowa hadn't expected the reward to come so quickly.

She originally only had one Side Plot, and without any Reward points, she couldn't buy anything.

Gaining the friendship of a powerful person and receiving a tangible return on top of that was definitely a net gain in her eyes.

Shinobi World!

Caught off guard by the Combination Ninjutsu: Scorch Style: Blazing Wind Wild Wave, Kakuzu was burning with anxiety.

He leaped between the trees, staring at the target who was about to escape his line of sight, so angry that smoke was practically coming out of his ears. His feet slipped!

He had never thought that one day, someone would steal his ability just like that.

Without the aid of the Wind Release: Earth Grudge Fear, Kakuzu could only watch as Uchiha Ren flew out of his field of vision until he disappeared completely.

"Hey! Hokuto, where is he?"

A rough-looking man carrying a large sword ran over. He had also come up empty-handed. Kakashi, focused solely on fleeing through the forest, was no different from a rabbit. The burly man hadn't gained any advantage at all.

Seeing no one around, the burly man patted Kakuzu's shoulder.

"Forget it. If he ran, he ran. There are plenty of bounty targets. The priority now is to check the intelligence on the Tailed Beasts. I heard the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki..."

"Pfft!"

The burly man looked down to see his heart being gripped by a fist of tentacles, his eyes filled with shock.

He would never have imagined, not in a million years, that he would be backstabbed by someone from his own organization.

"You..."

*Thump*.

The corpse fell to the ground.

————

In front of a waterfall, water splashed everywhere. A dark-skinned young man with a great sense of rhythm was grilling a fish while rapping.

"Yo, yo, check it out, I'm here by the waterfall, grillin' a fish, life's simple and free!"

"The fish is jumpin' on the fire, smoke's swirlin' around, just like my dreams, flying free without a sound!"

"Dark skin, big dreams, I use my rap to tell the tale!"

"In this nature, I find my paradise, just like the waterfall's water, never fail!"

"Ooh, that line's not bad. Gotta write it down, write it down."

As he spoke, he took out a notebook and started scribbling.

"Hmm!?"

Killer B was suddenly taken aback and looked up at the sky.

A figure, like a headless fly, crashed directly into the rocks of the waterfall!

The sound of the fall shattered the tranquility of the place!

Killer B leaped back, assuming his Seven Swords Dance stance, staring dumbfounded at the thing that had fallen into the water.

It looked like a young man, with a tail and wings—unusual.

There was something like a blue mask on his left shoulder, and a large hole in his chest, inside which black threads were writhing.

What kind of monster is this?

"Oh yo! A visitor from the sky, this ain't ordinary!"

He watched the water's surface warily, gripping the swords in his hands tightly, ready to face any potential danger.

The monster struggled to its feet from the water. Its eyes did indeed flash with a hint of surprise as they swept over Killer B, but immediately after, its attention was completely captured by the fragrant grilled fish nearby.

The corner of its mouth twitched involuntarily, as if it hadn't eaten in a very long time.

The monster's movements were swift and direct. It raised its hand and snatched the fish that was still grilling over the charcoal fire.

Its actions were rough and urgent. It took a huge bite, as if it hadn't eaten in years, and swallowed half the grilled fish.

The fish meat showed almost no signs of being chewed in its mouth before being swallowed directly into its stomach.

Immediately after, it pulled the tail fin and with a gentle tug, pulled out a complete fish skeleton.

The meat was stripped clean, leaving only a bare skeleton.

Killer B was completely stunned. His eyes widened, and an inexplicable anger welled up inside him.

He suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "You... you... you stole my fish?!"

The black tendrils of the Earth Grudge Fear were faintly visible at the corners of Uchiha Ren's mouth. With tears welling in his eyes, he said, "Finally... I finally get to eat a hot meal..."
