Chapter 160 Suspense Drama
Akaishi and the other two were resting in the mountainside village.
As a supply point, rooms carved into the mountainside were also prepared for the ninjas being escorted.
Moreover, this village is entirely inside the mountain, which was originally a hollow mountain that was further carved out to become what it is today.
Akaishi also created a clone to keep watch again, and at the same time—prepared to finish the last bite of Akaishi tonight!
This immersive short drama, which Akashi had been promoting for several days, was also sponsored by "Antarctic Mythical Beasts".
Akaishi's original intention was to try and see if he could unlock other games—it seems that "games" are more suitable for practicing skills.
Although Orochimaru disliked him before, mostly because Orochimaru wasn't good at being a teacher, but—Akaishi is a self-disciplined person, and even if only 10% of the reason was his own fault, Akaishi would try his best to make up for it!
However, none of the several that came up were very practical.
At the same time, the drama I chose this time is actually a little "suspenseful", which makes Akaishi look forward to the ending.
"The Truth of Bias" - the title is very straightforward. Akashi was also scared by the previous "Forget That Veil", so he deliberately chose a straightforward title this time.
At the beginning of the story, Hong Yan is a married middle-aged man and the youngest son in his family. There is also an older son, Hong Hong, who is more favored and is also married with an eighteen-year-old child.
This surprised Akaishi somewhat, because the title contained the word "favoritism," and Akaishi had assumed it meant something like giving all the eggs to the older brother from a young age.
They're all so grown up, what's the point of being biased or not?
Moreover, Akaishi discovered that, within the memories he had absorbed, his family seemed to have been quite wealthy in the past, and he couldn't say that they had suffered much hardship.
Soon, Akaishi also understood the main theme of "favoritism" —
During the first hour of the immersion, the Hong family's old house was demolished, and the total compensation was 1020 million yuan. Hong's father called his two sons and their families over and immediately decided to give 950 million yuan to the eldest son, keep 50 yuan for retirement, and give 20 yuan to Hong Yan.
Akaishi:————
【No, why not just not split it at all?】Ichikashi felt a sense of helplessness when he tried to retort.
Whether this distribution method is reasonable or not can be put aside for now. The key point is that it is unreasonable to invite your whole family here. If you really want to distribute things this way, wouldn't it be better not to invite me at all?
Sure enough, Hong Yan, being honest and unassuming, hadn't said anything yet, but his wife's expression immediately changed. However, she was stopped by Hong Yan just as she was about to speak.
"Xiufen, Dad knows what he's doing, don't interrupt!" Hongyan said.
Although I don't know why, I know there must be a reason why my father did this.
When Akaishi heard this inherent "inner voice," he was completely stunned.
At the same time, I can't help but wonder, what could be the reason?
Judging from the title and the hints in the message, there must indeed be some hidden story behind it all.
This is what Akaishi had been hoping for: a sense of suspense.
As for this period—
Right after the money was distributed, Akaishi underwent a baptism.
"How could you be so foolish? Haven't we always been the ones taking care of our parents? Our older brother rarely even comes home. And you have nothing to say about dividing the money like this?" the wife complained.
"Don't worry about it, Dad knows what he's doing," Hong Yan said righteously.
Akaishi:————
Akashi's curiosity was piqued, but he didn't feel much, since two hundred thousand seemed like a lot in terms of purchasing power in this world.
only----
Soon Hongyan saw his elder brother's post on WeChat Moments: "[Respecting the elderly brings blessings; one must not forget one's roots.]"
Akaashi:? ? ?
Akashi got a little angry—if we're not friends, can't you just block me?
And why are you turning around and accusing me? Anyone who didn't know better would think that this way of dividing the money is because I'm unfilial.
"Ayan, when I was leaving get off work just now, I saw my brother's family drive by in their convertible luxury car. I was thinking of going up and saying hello, just to be polite, but—they glanced at me and then pretended not to see me!"
"When they asked us for money before, they said things like we're family and should help each other out—"
"And—have you heard? That little rascal of his deliberately told our girl that he was going to study abroad and didn't need to go to school anymore—we don't even have the money to send her to a good school, and you—"
"Alright, that's enough. Dad knows what's going on!"
[Hard work pays off; seaside villa easily acquired] — Hong Yan saw his nephew's hard work on WeChat Moments again.
Below is another comment from the older brother: [Don't let people who don't work hard but like to complain see this].
Refresh the page again, and the post will be gone.
-
"Hongyan! Did you see what your nephew just posted?"
"I didn't see it. Don't bother looking. I've already told you, so Dad knows what's going on."
"Your nephew has been expelled from that foreign school again—this is the third time! And all that money spent—"
"Don't concern yourself with how other people spend their money."
"I don't want to get involved, but every time before he goes abroad, he deliberately comes to mock your daughter for being a fool for studying! All that money is just—"
"Dad knows what he's doing!"
After repeated attempts, Akaishi, in terms of genuine emotion, first felt speechless, and then—
It's hard not to become curious!
What exactly is the number?
What exactly is the "truth"?
Tonight, we finally stayed naked until the very last hour —
The eldest brother's family, true to form, got into a gambling addiction and insulted Hong Yan, who tried to warn them, believing he was just jealous.
result----
Three years after receiving the demolition compensation, the eldest brother's family gambled away their house and sold their car, but they were still in debt, and even their nephew was detained by the casino.
So the elder brother and sister-in-law went to their parents again, hoping to get help once more.
The father also called Hongyan, asking him and his wife to come home to discuss the matter.
Akaishi was also a little nervous at this moment!
After all this back and forth, and so much secrecy, is it finally time to reveal the secret?
Akaishi had made many guesses, trying to rationalize them all, but—
I really can't guess!
Even if Hong Yan isn't his biological son, it doesn't explain it, does it?
"Dad! Please save your grandson! He still owes two million. They said if he doesn't pay back the money tomorrow, they'll break his legs!" Hong Hong cried out hoarsely.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you should still have money, right? If you don't save your nephew, our Hong family line will end!"
"Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? Our family doesn't have any money. Father only gave Ayan 200,000 yuan back then."
"Sister-in-law, we're family, why are you talking like that? People will laugh at you!"
Akaishi:————
Okay, okay, you're going to disgust me one last time, aren't you?
Wind Release Pressure (Rage) +1.
However, Mr. Hong calmly replied, "You still want money?"
"Dad, don't you still have money?"
"That's right! Dad, we've kept track of your expenses, you should still have—"
Hong Yan frowned at the couple's shameless behavior.
Akaishi was also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of truth Hong's father would reveal later!
"You want to settle accounts? Fine—then let's settle them!"
"I also like to keep evidence—"
As he spoke, Mr. Hong took out a worn-out iron box.
Akaishi was itching to see it and secretly urged him on.
"Twenty-five years ago, you said you didn't have enough for a down payment on a house and asked to borrow 50 yuan from me —"
"Twenty years ago, you hit someone with your car. To pay you compensation, we sold one of our storefronts and gave you 80 yuan."
Million.
"Eighteen years ago, your mother became seriously ill. You were unwilling to pay for it, but your younger brother paid 60 yuan and sold ancestral property for 60 yuan. You said that this money was a loan from you."
"Fifteen years ago, your business failed, and creditors came to your door. You said it was a loan, and you borrowed 80 yuan —"
Chishi was increasingly surprised as he listened—was Hongyan's family really that rich?
This is much richer than "Immersive Memory" —
It's just that Hong Yan himself didn't get to spend it.
The "bias" has already been shown; hurry up and reveal the "truth"! Akaishi was looking forward to it.
"I've calculated it for you. In these 25 years, you've owed your family a total of 9.5 million!" Mr. Hong said, uttering a familiar number.
Isn't this the money he received three years ago?
"Dad—you—you mean—"
"That's right! I originally wanted to give you 9.5 million to pay off your debts of more than 20 years, so that the family and you would be even. Who knew that you would squander it all in three years!" Father Hong shouted angrily.
Akaashi:? ? ?
What is this guy saying?
"Want more money? Dream on! The Hong family has already settled its accounts!"
Akaashi:? ? ?
"Why? Dad—how could you calculate it like that?" Hong Hong was still angry at the old man for keeping the accounts.
Akaashi:? ? ?
"So that's how it is! Dad, I've been misunderstanding you all along!" Hong Yan's wife said with relief.
Akaashi:? ? ?
[I knew it, Father knew what was going on.] The thought echoed in my mind.
Akaashi:? ? ?
Are there any humans left in this house?
"I—" Akaishi had so much to say, but his words were cut off.
Hong's father held Hong Yan's hand and said, "Second son, you're the good boy. We've remembered all the money you've given us over the years—it's been 20 yuan since three years ago! You don't owe this family anything anymore!"
Akaashi:? ? ?
"Honey, you're right. I was too hasty before."
Apart from Chishi, everyone, including Hongyan, had somehow come to accept this method of accounting.
After his elder brother's family fled in disarray, Hong Yan, along with his wife, daughter, and parents—a family of five—began making dumplings.
After waking up, Chi Shi couldn't help but smash the stone wall.
"What's wrong?" Lan Wu's voice came from next door.
"It's nothing, I'm just sleepy!" Akaishi said irritably.
Lanwu: ? ? ?
Why didn't the Hyuga brothers give you extra time this time? Why are you so angry?
However, Lan Wu heard that everything was alright, so she went back to sleep.
Akaishi had initially thought that his true emotions, when "immersed" in the act, made him less prone to anger, but unexpectedly—
The thought that he had actually been looking forward to the ending these past few days made Akaishi really angry!
Although the Sharingan did not advance immediately, it involuntarily activated, and the tomoe patterns rotated—its eye power had significantly improved.
The "GG" notification was still urging him on. After taking a few deep breaths and calming himself down, Akaishi entered GG—
Break through barriers with wisdom, ascend to the top with combat power—each level presents a new challenge! Sacred Spire invites you to try it out!
"Sacred Spire—another useless game!" Akaishi complained.
at the same time----
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
"I'll give that lousy show a bad review first!"
Ding! [Your report has been verified. Testing confirms the show was indeed created by an AI-generated, unintelligent creator. The uploader has been punished. To express our gratitude and apology, the Immersive Platform will compensate you 10000 yuan.]
Ten thousand taels?
More than thirty small sculptures ————
The key is that if you rely on "Liuliu," you need to "immerse" yourself in more than thirty dramas to redeem so much.
That's also acceptable.
I just don't know what this "artificial stupidity" thing is, or why it's so bad!
[We've detected that you're playing "Sacred Spire" and have automatically topped up your account.]
Akaashi:? ? ?
Akaishi looked at the Sacred Spire and saw that his remaining "life" had reached 5000. For a moment—
Wind Release Range (Music) +1.jpg.
I'm so angry I could laugh!
Are you also an artificially disabled person?
Of course, Akaishi also understood that this was not artificial stupidity; this "Antarctic mythical beast" was intentional!
Things have come to this point —
"Huh? What does this [VIP.3] mean?" Akashi then realized that he seemed to have gained some kind of new privilege.
Spend 1000 in Sacred Spire: Receive 10 hours of free game time every month (with unlimited respawns).
Spending 3000: You can "undo" a move once per game;
Consumption reaches 10000: The actual time ratio increases 30 times (currently 1:300).
Akashi then discovered that if he spent enough money on a certain game, there would be some "benefits".
First, 10 hours per month —
Unfortunately, it's "game time," not "real time."
Undoing a move once reduces the rate at which "life" is consumed, increasing efficiency.
The final increase in the percentage allows for further reduction in the game's required time.
At a ratio of 1:300, Akaishi estimates that even 5000 lives wouldn't be enough for 100 hours of real-world use!
only----
"Why is it 'The Sacred Spire'?" Akaishi complained.
This is a game that I've played before with little effect ———
For Akashi, none of the games actually had any real effect; they could not bring about any real improvement or change to Akashi.
Their only effect is to assist the red stone in "learning," whether physically or mentally.
Currently, Akashi believes that the most effective game is "Merge Warriors". If he spent 10000 on "Merge Warriors", Akashi doesn't even dare to imagine how many "combination ninjutsu" he could learn!
Secondly, there are "Wilderness Survivor" and "Temple Run".
As for this "Sacred Spire," it can't be said to be useless, it's just that—
The rule is that you choose a chakra nature at the start of the game. Akashi has already unlocked three: "fire", "earth" and "lightning".
Once you enter the game, your goal is to "climb the tower," where each floor presents opponents or unexpected situations.
Moreover, during battles, it's not direct combat, but rather the use of ninjutsu created from pre-constructed card combinations.
Each type of card is divided into six subcategories—that is, each type of transformation corresponds to a different type of card, such as the "Scorching Card" of Fire Release, which includes [Heating Up], [Cooling Down], [Overheating], and so on.
Each card has its own effect, and the goal is to build a deck and challenge higher levels as much as possible.
This is actually a way of constructing "ninjutsu"!
For example, in a Fire Release deck, if the deck construction leans towards using "Scorching" cards, it will create ninjutsu that emphasizes temperature; if it leans towards using "Swift Flame" cards, it will create high-speed Fire Release techniques.
Previously, Akaishi had also created several new ninjutsu using the "Sacred Spire".
but----
They have no practical value!
After all, the current "practical ninjutsu" is already the best of the best. The new ninjutsu created by Akaishi is like the discarded products created by the major ninja clans during the Warring States period hundreds of years ago!
Take "Great Fireball Technique" for example. It looks ordinary, but it can be used frequently because it is the most cost-effective technique in its own niche!
Akaishi's fire-breathing technique—
It requires more hand seals than the Great Fireball Technique, consumes more chakra, and has a smaller power and range than the Great Fireball Technique—what's the point?
Only one bonus can be given to the Uchiha clan!
However, the situation is different now—
"Since I've already paid, I can't just not use it—why don't I try playing a few more rounds?"
