Ding~!

"The items you put on sale have reached the upper limit, and the operation has failed!"

Seeing this prompt, Ryosuke sighed.

But he had already expected this to happen.

After all, it was impossible for the group mall to accept the same item indefinitely.

Even the blood of the Ōtsutsuki clan, Rinnegan, and similar things—

There was definitely a limit!

He hadn't encountered it before simply because he hadn't reached this upper threshold.

But now...

It had finally happened!

Since the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki clan had reached the limit, this time, he had only managed to sell about three Ōtsutsuki corpses.

The same was true for Rinnegan.

However, Tenseigan was still far from reaching the limit and could continue being put on sale because it was much rarer among the Ōtsutsuki.

But there weren't many Tenseigan. So, in total, this trip only earned him a little over 6 billion points.

And there might be nothing left to earn next time.

Luckily, he had already accumulated more than 100 billion points in his account.

In the short term, that amount should be enough to spend.

After all, he actually didn't have many places to spend points.

Only the enhancement required a significant amount, but even that wasn't too bad.

Moreover, he wasn't completely out of income sources.

Even though the Ōtsutsuki bloodline corpses had hit their limit—

What about the Ōtsutsuki bloodline potions that could be used directly?

Surely those hadn't reached the limit yet, right?

So—

That very day, Ryosuke approached Orochimaru with a large number of Ōtsutsuki corpses and asked him to extract Ōtsutsuki bloodline from them, turning it into a sellable bloodline potion.

Currently, this technology was only available to the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru in the group.

Even the Orochimaru of other worlds, though also skilled, did not possess such an ability.

Faced with this request, Orochimaru readily agreed.

However, according to him, it would take three days to extract a single potion.

Since Ryosuke had brought thousands of corpses, the process could take quite some time.

To this—

Although Ryosuke was a bit dissatisfied with the efficiency, he didn't complain much.

After all, this was Orochimaru's limit. He wasn't being lazy—it really just took that long!

"Then take your time. Extract one potion every three days, and we'll split the profits—you take 10%, I take 90%." Ryosuke said.

Hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes widened in surprise.

After all, he had never expected to get a cut of the profits. He had assumed he would be working for free.

But unexpectedly—

There was a profit share!

Even if it was only 10%, a single Ōtsutsuki bloodline potion could be sold for a massive 10 million points in the group mall.

This meant that even at 10%, he would still get 1 million points per sale.

Orochimaru's total points hadn't even reached a million before.

And now—

He could make 1 million in just three days?!

This was too good!

So good in fact, that it made him a little uneasy.

"Actually... I'll take 5% instead."

Orochimaru offered to lower his share.

His main concern was that, in the future, others might master his technology, and at that point, he might lose this exclusive partnership.

If that happened, the deal could go to someone else.

Besides—

Even at 5%, he would still be earning 500,000 points every three days.

That was already a lot!

After hearing this, Ryosuke gave Orochimaru a deep look—then nodded and agreed.

"Alright. I'll leave 100 Ōtsutsuki corpses with you for now. Let me know if you need more."

With a wave of his hand, one hundred shrunken Ōtsutsuki corpses were restored to full size.

Orochimaru immediately arranged for his subordinates to preserve them properly.

"Also, here's a pair of Rinnegan. See if you can extract the Rinnegan bloodline without any burden."

Ryosuke handed a glass bottle containing a pair of Rinnegan to Orochimaru, letting him study it when he had the time.

If the extraction failed, he could just sell the Rinnegan at a discount to members of the group.

But—

There were only so many members in the group.

Even if everyone bought a pair, how many could he really sell?

So—

It was far better to extract Rinnegan bloodline potion, which could be sold directly to the group mall.

That would bring in far greater profits.

"Hehe~! Don't worry, Ryosuke-kun, I'll make sure to research this thoroughly and help us earn another fortune!" Orochimaru said with a sinister smile like a snake.

Ryosuke said, "Alright, I have other matters to attend to—I'll be off now."

After handing over the items, he left this parallel world.

This time—

He had encountered a transmigrator in Tsunade's world, the newly added Fifth Hokage, which made him wonder—

Were there similar situations in the world of the other Hokages?

After all, this group of transmigrators wasn't small. There were a lot of them.

So, Ryosuke spent the entire afternoon traveling across each group member's world, checking whether similar transmigrators had appeared in their respective timelines.

But after searching everywhere, he didn't find anything.

It turned out—

Among all the parallel worlds, the only one with a transmigrator was Tsunade's world.

And—

That transmigrator hadn't even been around for long—only a few months.

Soon

More than a month had passed.

The previous batch of gold talent entries had been upgraded one after another, and were replaced with new ones.

The upgrade of these gold talent entries did not improve Ryosuke's strength significantly.

It had only increased his upper limit by about 30%.

After all—

He had already upgraded the truly powerful talent entries in advance.

The further back they were, the less effect they had on him. So naturally, the impact on his strength was lower.

Even a 30% increase was actually quite good.

In addition, he had accumulated more than 3,000 charms of each type.

He figured that this many charms should be enough to enhance his White Snow to at least +35, right?

So on this day, he used up thousands of accumulated enhancement attempts, spending a massive amount of points, and finally enhanced White Snow to +37.

Although his goal of +40 hadn't been reached yet, it was getting close.

After all, once past the +35 hurdle, future enhancements wouldn't drop it below +35 anymore.

If he got lucky, he might even reach +40 in just three more enhancement attempts.

Of course, he wasn't counting on his luck being that good.

Speaking of which—

Even though Ryosuke possessed the [Lord of Destiny] talent entry, that talent entry did not increase his luck value.

He wondered—is there a talent entry for increasing luck in this world?

By the way... is there anyone in this world who is actually lucky?

Ōtsutsuki Teuchi?

However, when it came to Ōtsutsuki Teuchi, he didn't seem to be particularly lucky—just strong.

If he were really lucky, he would have been able to defeat bosses effortlessly.

But in reality, he was just an ordinary person. Ordinary people couldn't even get him white talent entries.

"...Maybe I can train Teuchi in a parallel world and turn him into a ninja?"

It seemed like a good idea, so he decided to give it a try. Maybe this could get him a talent entry that increases luck.

And once he has that talent entry—whether it's for synthesizing talent entries or enhancing items—

The success rate will be greatly improved!!!

Thinking of this, Ryosuke couldn't wait any longer.

He immediately selected a parallel world—one where the timeline was relatively early.

He chose the world of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The timeline there was far back enough that Teuchi was still a teenager.

Just what he needed.

Then, Ryosuke used his chat group privileges to travel to this world and found the young version of Teuchi.

At this point in time, the Ichiraku Ramen shop was still run by his father, who was quite wealthy.

He was just like Ayame in the future, mainly helping his father run the shop.

On this day

The ramen shop was on an afternoon break, and Teuchi was called out by a few friends to play.

But as soon as they arrived at their usual hangout spot, they ran into a strange person.

"Kid, come here!"

The voice called out to the young, somewhat mature-looking teen.

He wasn't particularly tall, but he had the demeanor of someone in his twenties.

"Me?"

Teuchi pointed to himself, puzzled, before walking over.

The strange thing was—his friends didn't seem to notice anything.

They were still laughing and joking nearby.

Feeling a bit confused, he approached the figure.

"Sir, what do you need?" He asked curiously.

"Do you want to be a ninja?" The man asked.

"Of course! But when I got tested, they told me I have no talent for being a ninja." Teuchi replied, his expression full of disappointment.

Growing up in Konoha, who wouldn't want to become a ninja?

But for him, it seemed impossible. He simply lacked the talent.

This meant that, in this life—

He could only be an ordinary person.
