Naruto: I Am Not Really Related - Chapter 496
Haru didn’t go too far after “politely borrowing” the other person’s cards. Instead, he left duplicates and less valuable cards for the other person. Then, with the other person’s expectant gaze upon him, he activated “Fellow Traveler” and instantly transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the town of Masadora, where he had come from.
“This is the magical town of Masadora…” Haru curiously looked around at his surroundings.
“You can’t just leave like this; you said you would save me!”
Just as Haru was about to leave, “Ronaldinho” started wailing.
Haru muttered, “Troublesome!”
But still, with a few snaps, he forcefully set the guy’s limbs back in place, and then found a shop (he didn’t even know what it sold), and threw the guy who was in so much pain that he was almost unconscious into it.
“Treat him ten times the payment, thank you.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, incredibly suave.
Indeed, you must keep your word when you’re out and about!
Of course, he didn’t forget to hit the other party with a “Track” spell. It’s all about casting a wide net, harvesting the leeks, as they say. He’s well-versed in this tactic!
But it was just a minor victory.
After all, given the guy’s level, it’s highly likely that there won’t be any surprises the next time they meet.
Among the cards “borrowed,” there were only 7 “Designated Pockets,” and the rest mainly were spell cards, including many like “Track,” “Pickpocket,” “Theft”…
Haru was helpless.
So, having nothing better to do, he casually used one.
“Pickpocket”
Card No. 1006
Difficulty of acquisition: F-170 (from high to low SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G…)
Effect: You can take one card from any player’s card deck.
Usage Range: Close distance
Use successful!
The “Pickpocket” card shattered, and then it automatically activated on a random unlucky old man Haru chose on the street. Then, one card disappeared and turned into a stream of light that fell into Haru’s hand.
Haru didn’t take it seriously, but he looked down and laughed!
Goodness, it was card number 073, “Dark Emerald,” with a difficulty of A-15. Its effect was to transfer to someone else when the holder was in danger.
It’s such a good item!
Not only was it one of the designated cards, but it was also one that Haru needed to have.
The most crucial part was that he just stole it so casually.
The unlucky old man immediately got anxious!
Perhaps afraid that Haru would run away, he raised his hand and threw a card.
“You’re looking for death! Go, Cyclops!”
Instantly, a Cyclops holding a club appeared in front of Haru.
Haru, regardless, sneakily did it again.
“Theft”
Card No. 1007
Difficulty of acquisition: C-50
Effect: One card can be taken from a player’s specified card deck.
Usage Range: Close distance
Use successful!
With a swoosh, the unlucky guy who had just summoned the Cyclops had another card stolen.
Haru looked and laughed again!
“Lost Ruby” Card No. 076!
Yet another card he didn’t have.
But honestly, he only had a few cards to begin with…
So happy!
Indeed, games like this that involve collecting are more fun when you steal and rob from others!
“Cyclops, crush this thief to death!”
The unlucky guy who had two cards stolen from him was furious, not even thinking about how to get those two cards back, but instead focusing all his thoughts on killing the despicable thief!
With a whoosh~
A vast club smashed down from above, and with a boom, the ground shattered.
However, the figure of Shin’you was nowhere to be seen.
“Staring with such big eyes, who are you trying to scare?”
Shin’you, leaping up, somehow bizarrely appeared right in front of the Cyclops’s single eye and then gave it a fierce poke!
Pop!
The Cyclops hit right in its weak spot and collapsed on the spot!
As a monster from the Rock Zone, the difficulty of obtaining G-333 was indeed pitiable.
The other party knew this, too.
So, the Cyclops was just a decoy.
Similarly, a monster from the Rock Zone, but a Bubble Horse with a difficulty level of C-50, was summoned.
Red and white bubbles were spat out in large quantities, and then, with a sweep of its tail, all flew towards the landing spot of Shin’you.
When the red bubbles hit an object in a non-gaseous state, they exploded, and the white bubbles exploded upon contact with objects in a gaseous state, making it difficult to distinguish between the two.
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of explosions sounded.
The unlucky guy’s complexion improved slightly, but then he felt pain for the two cards stolen.
“Damn, how can there be such a disgusting card? Did that guy get blown up? It would be best if he were left with half a life so that I…”
“So that you what?”
A voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting his thoughts.
He was shocked and immediately tried to touch the ?Again? card that could fly to a specified place.
But a sudden, intense pain engulfed him, making him let out a kind of terrifying howl.
“Shut up, scream again, and I’ll kill you.”
When Shin’you said this sentence with an icy voice from behind, the unlucky guy seemed to regain some calmness and said, “If you kill me, you won’t get a single card.”
“Oh.”
“Then go die.”
Puff!
The unlucky guy incredulously looked down at his chest, where… a hand had just retracted, leaving behind a terrifying blood hole.
Until the moment of death, he couldn’t understand why the other party would kill so decisively and cleanly.
Everyone here is for collecting cards through the game.
So, killing is not the goal. Threatening the other party to hand over the cards they want is!
The person and the card collection all disappeared…
Throughout the process, Shin’you was seriously observing.
To truly understand the secrets of this game, one must try everything.
Now he knows what it’s like to die here; due to the change in thoughts, even the rules are different.
At least outside, people don’t disappear after death.
Can you return to reality after dying in the game?
Dream on!
There is no virtual game because this is the real world!
Shin’you rubbed his chin, making some guesses about this place.
Then he noticed that many people around him were giving him hostile looks.
His behavior just now had violated some taboo or unspoken rule here.
But he didn’t care.
Since it’s playing a game, then, of course, play it however it’s enjoyable.
So, he pretended to be panicked, took out a card, and instantly turned into a stream of light flying towards the sky.
Many people nearby did the same, turning into streams of light and chasing after him!
But there were even more people who looked cautious and weren’t fooled.
Although he was a new face, being new doesn’t mean people can be bullied at will.
Moreover, the battle ended quickly, and acting rashly without knowing the other party’s bottom line could also cost them.
