Prompt

The Wall Maria Reclamation Battle was an epic-level mission. If other teams had gone to complete it, then given that the Giant Space restricted entry to Veteran Reincarnators at most, even several teams working together would have been unable to achieve the objective!

Without the Founding Titan and without a magically modified Survey Corps, the only way to deal with those hordes of Titans would have been to fill the gap with human lives.

Yet even a mission of this intensity only awarded A-rank mission rewards. Even with three of them, Xu Yue did not feel particularly excited.

How was one supposed to obtain S-rank mission scenarios beyond that?

Was it because of the space’s upper difficulty limit?

When he appeared in the familiar little wooden cabin, Xu Yue pondered for a moment before throwing a backward punch without even turning his head, striking the seemingly crude wall directly.

Boom!

A fierce spiraling gust erupted within the sealed space, whipping Xu Yue’s clothes and hair about as the entire room shook violently.

"Although the effects of the extended time keep diminishing, the gains are still acceptable."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yue gained a clearer understanding of his current raw power.

Even though he had only experienced three Mission Spaces so far, his raw strength alone was already close to the level of a Special Jonin.

And…

"Upgrade Sage Body."

Sage Body (Advanced). Upgrade requires two A-rank missions and 8,000 Reincarnation Points. Confirm?

"Confirm."

Because he had completed the Wall Maria reclamation mission, the upgrade Xu Yue had originally planned to undergo after selling his goods could now be carried out ahead of schedule.

He had not used the Special Auction House yet. There might be some risk in selling goods next, so increasing his ability to protect himself came first.

Sage Body (Advanced): Greatly increases vitality, stamina, Chakra recovery speed, and maximum Chakra capacity. Grants battle-damage repair ability, compatibility with senjutsu, and greatly reduces Sharingan fatigue.

Feeling the vitality surging from within his body, the boundless energy and the beauty of the world it brought, Xu Yue’s bones crackled crisply all over. It felt like soaking in a hot spring, making him want to let out a satisfied groan.

With his Sage Body at the advanced level, his physique should already be comparable to Hashirama’s in his youth!

Uh, except for Chakra…

Since upgrading the Sage Body did not require prerequisite items, Xu Yue submitted another upgrade inquiry after reaching the advanced Sage Body level.

Sage Body (Mastery). Upgrade requires two S-rank missions...

All right. Judging from the advanced Sage Body corresponding to the Three Tomoe Sharingan, upgrading to the Mangekyo would indeed definitely require S-rank missions.

But that was the cost for a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan. Since every Sage Body upgrade cost double, perhaps a single eye would be cheaper…

Still, remembering the space’s damned habits and the improvement the Mangekyo Sharingan offered over the Three Tomoe Sharingan, Xu Yue felt that the space would not let him get a bargain.

And above the Mangekyo was the Eternal Mangekyo. Going by that, there might be another level above the Mastery Sage Body.

As for the Rinnegan, judging by Madara obtaining the Rinnegan, it was the product of combining the Eternal Mangekyo with the Sage Body. It could not simply be considered an advancement of the Sharingan.

Afterward, without a second thought, Xu Yue directly purchased Advanced Body Mastery from the auction house.

An intense tearing pain, so powerful that even his advanced Sage Body could feel it, flooded into his body. It was the complete opposite of the comfort he had felt during the Sage Body upgrade.

It instantly elevated Xu Yue into the ranks of Advanced Body Mastery. The strain caused by such a massive influx in such a short time was beyond imagination.

His body continuously tore apart, only to heal beneath that immense vitality, leaving him drenched in blood.

When it was over, Xu Yue brushed his body, and blood scabs fell away as powder. Sweat and Blood Water mixed together, filling the air with a foul stench.

After enduring the ordeal while looking as though he had been dragged out of water, Xu Yue even suspected that people might die attempting this enhancement.

Because Body Mastery imposed such a tremendous burden on the body, this skill, which was absolutely above A-rank, received little interest just like Intermediate Body Mastery. The cheapest copies only required two B-rank missions.

However, since most of his Reincarnation Points had been spent on extending time, Xu Yue was completely broke after purchasing it.

"Skill books like Body Mastery probably aren’t obtained directly from Mission Spaces. Most are likely issued as mission rewards, much like missions that reward training cards."

Xu Yue also made his own judgments about some of the items in the auction house. Although Advanced Body Mastery cost relatively little among items of the same rank, the difficulty of completing the mission that rewarded it must have been extremely high.

Its overall difficulty might not even have been much lower than his Wall Maria Reclamation Battle mission.

Yet there were still several copies of Advanced Body Mastery listed in the auction house, so he needed to remain wary of how many big shots existed in the Reincarnation Space.

With no Reincarnation Points left, Xu Yue naturally stopped buying.

Still, he was not overly worried about Reincarnation Points. He had a fixed source of income, so as long as he did not spend recklessly, he should be able to cover his expenses.

Besides Kabane flesh and blood, Jet Bullets and cold weapons reinforced with Kabane membrane were also cheap, high-value goods with excellent cost-effectiveness.

Now there was also the Omni-directional Mobility Gear, as well as the endlessly reproducible Omni-directional Mobility Gear operation manual. Although their limitations meant they could not fetch high prices, together they could provide a steady income and expand the range of beginner packages.

Moreover, Xu Yue particularly valued the fact that if newcomers noticed the "Penguin" Chamber of Commerce through these package goods during their beginner period and formed their first impression, then even after they grew stronger, they would still instinctively think of the "Penguin" Chamber of Commerce as cheap and high-quality!

For ordinary Reincarnators, their early mission progress was extremely rapid. They did not have a high military rank like his.

"Promote military rank."

Permission upgrade confirmed. Current permission: Captain. Merit points: 132/152.

Captain-level permission only required 100 points. This time, he had received seventy-five points at once, pushing his Captain progress past halfway. He only needed 200 points to reach Major-level permission, leaving just forty-eight points. With some effort, a single mission might be enough.

After becoming a Captain, Xu Yue could use five training cards during every interval between missions. At the same time, the amount of time he could spend in the Reincarnation Space between missions increased to fifteen days, though the time in the real world did not increase proportionally and only rose to twenty days.

Most importantly, after reaching Captain-level permission, he could begin using the Special Auction House. The Kakashi Sharingan Xu Yue needed was still waiting for him there, and the spinal fluid in his possession also needed to be sold there.

He first entered Kōkan Station to provide the blueprints for the Omni-directional Mobility Gear, preparing to establish a production line for it while also preparing to copy the operation manuals.

After making those arrangements and returning, Xu Yue intended to negotiate with those merchants again.

Last time, they should already have tasted the benefits. Now, he did not need to advance goods for them anymore. If they wanted goods, they had to pay first before collecting them!

However, just as Xu Yue left the cabin, a succession of notification sounds rang out.

Attention: Your next mission will be a Promotion Mission. This mission will be a Faction Mission. Kills between different factions will increase reward drop rates.

Attention: Promotion Missions are high-risk missions. High-level Reincarnators from hostile factions will appear. High-level Reincarnators receive no drop bonus for attacking low-level Reincarnators.

Attention: The interval before the Promotion Mission is doubled. The number of usable training cards is doubled.

Attention: Before the Promotion Mission, Reincarnation Points may be spent to enter a Special Leisure Space. Overdrafts are permitted if Reincarnation Points are insufficient.

The chain of red warning notices nearly blew Xu Yue’s mind apart.

A Promotion Mission, huh? The mission notes were quite detailed and clear. He could get some intelligence from those merchants later.

But what the hell was that last one? The space was actually being so kind as to allow overdrafts?

Since when had it changed its nature?

With an exploratory mindset, Xu Yue also checked out those Special Leisure Spaces.

Mm, time could be greatly extended in those spaces, but no form of training could be performed. Their only purpose was rest and relaxation.

And according to the undisguised brief descriptions, they were basically Mission Spaces like Flame X Transfer Student and Father’s Love Is Like a Mountain, along with spaces aimed at women and even BL-oriented ones.

Xu Yue was left speechless, staring up at the sky. As expected, it was still that familiar space.

Was this supposed to be a last meal before execution?

This was probably the place where those salted-fish Reincarnators, who muddled through life and would not survive more than three missions according to the newbie guides, could enjoy themselves one last time.

Shaking his head, Xu Yue completely ignored that final option and began contacting the founding members of the "Penguin" Chamber of Commerce…

Happy National Day, everyone~ Two chapters, two chapters~

Also, don’t worry that charging two S-rank missions for a pair of Sharingan is too much of a loss or anything. The space deals fairly—every penny gets you what it’s worth…

Don’t forget, a pair of Sharingan can also unlock a bug-level skill…
