Amidst the cries of "You will lose a lot if you don't buy it" and "You will miss out on billions if you don't buy it".
One spy after another lost himself.
Humans are such easily influenced creatures.
However, these are not the only tourists who travel to the Land of Water.
There are also organized groups of various sizes led by businessmen from various countries.
In addition to advertising, selling goods and purchasing new special products from the Yu Yue store, their main purpose is to cheer.
The Sand Village's Chunin Exams opened up a new mode of 'cheering' that could be participated by everyone, and those who had already tasted the fun began to prepare spontaneously without waiting for publicity.
Especially since there were not many people last time due to various reasons, we started recruiting people early this time.
Apart from anything else, we cannot lose in terms of numbers and formation.
Compared with individual tourists, they are not only more numerous and better organized, but also have clearer goals.
"We must be the loudest this time!"
“It’s the largest number of people!”
"Last time, those people from the Land Kingdom relied on the close distance to bring a lot of people with them. Let's see what they say this time."
"Go, brothers! It's time to show our strength!"
——The atmosphere became heated.
What was even more exciting than the atmosphere was the rush to Yu Yue Store, or to be more precise, the rush to Xiao Nan's order.
Xiaonan:?
After finally finishing the arrangements for the Chunin Exam (advertising, promotional pages, etc.), she thought she could just wait to get the money and go buy the peripheral products of "Ninja Girls".
Who would have thought that before I had the chance to say goodbye, the orders would come in one after another.
"This is an order from the Thunder Country Group."
"And there are an additional 300 items added by the Wind Country Group."
"The Grass Country has also placed an order, and they also want a large banner."
"In addition, the Sand Village hopes that we can provide customized services here. They said that money is not a problem."
As the orders came in front of him one by one, Xiaonan was almost petrified.
But seeing that if she didn't stop the orders, they would continue to increase endlessly, she still forced herself to regain her sanity.
After all, if we don’t stop, the construction period will take at least two months.
But the Chunin Exam is just around the corner. No, more importantly, the theme store of "Ninja Girls" is also coming to an end soon.
If she had all the time
If all the time is used for work, how can I go to the store?
"etc!"
Thinking of this, she quickly stopped.
"Why are there so many?"
She actually didn't quite understand.
Although she was the one who made almost all of these support products before.
But it wasn't like now, where all the people came here in a swarm?
They are all paper products, so it would be the same if we asked other shops to make them, right?
There are also various banners. They can be made of cloth or wood, right?
"Oh, this one."
After listening to Xiaonan's question, Yu Yue gave a considerate explanation.
"Of course, it's because we are the 'official partner', so the support items we produce are more authoritative."
"Especially since we have cooperation with the ninja village that holds the Chunin Exam, a portion of the sales of the support products will be directly given to the winners of the Chunin Exam."
——That is what is called "genuine".
Although this world has not yet formed a trend of brand recognition except in the Ninja Village.
However, the strong development of Ugetsu Store in recent years and its cooperation with the Ninja Village have made it difficult for imitation and counterfeit goods to survive, so people still have a high degree of recognition for Ugetsu Store.
Besides, they came here to support the Chunin Exams. How could they not buy products from the Ugetsu Shoten, which 'sponsored' the Chunin Exams, but instead buy things from other shoddy small workshops?
What everyone wants is not just a support product, they want "official certification" and "prestige".
Therefore, the products of Yuyue Store are not just "support items", but "face".
Otherwise, when everyone's support items are taken out together, everyone else's items will be "genuine" from the Yuyue store, and only mine will be a bunch of handmade items and products from unknown small shops.
Wouldn't that be embarrassing to the end of the world?
From now on I won’t be able to raise my head and show my face when greeting people.
Making it yourself is a token of your thoughtfulness, but if you want something that looks good, then of course it has to be from Yuyue Store!
“…That’s about it.”
Yu Yue finished her explanation and took a sip of the warm water handed to her by the gold medal assistant.
Xiaonan: I understand, but not completely.
Although she was young, the girl, who had spent most of her life hiding and acting in secret, had no idea what these people were competing for.
It's a good thing to make some extra money from this.
But there are cheaper options, so why not use them?
"Well... For example, if someone was holding a product of "Ninja Girl" that was not produced by Ugetsu Shoten, what would you think?"
"It's not produced by Ugetsu Store? It's not a peripheral at all."
After the answer came out of his mouth, Xiaonan covered his mouth.
She obviously hid the fact that she was a fan of "Ninja Girl" very well.
Why this time...
No, that's not right.
Konan blushed slightly, then she noticed Ugetsu's smiling gaze, looking at her hands.
hand……?
No, it’s the notebook at hand.
Konan followed Ugetsu's line of sight and noticed a bookmark of "Ninja Girl" tucked inside the notebook.
Although almost all the peripherals of Yuyue Store are made by Xiaonan.
But she had never used any of them in the past, except this time.
"I didn't take this away, I bought it."
However, even though his "little hobby" was exposed, Xiaonan's first reaction was not to explain his hobby, but to clarify that he did not embezzle the goods or use his status as a producer to withhold the goods.
Besides, of course you have to queue up and spend money to buy the surrounding products.
It was taken directly from the workshop and has no soul at all.
"Of course, I never doubted that."
Yu Yue quickly responded.
——This is our own gold medal manufacturer, and it is almost the same as a money printing machine.
We must not make things difficult for her.
"I'm just giving you an example."
Xiaonan understood this time.
The genuine product really has a soul, which is completely different from the crude imitations made by small workshops just to make money.
She understood.
The status of these cheering items in the hearts of the participants is like the status of Ninja Girls itself...
I was too superficial before.
That's not 'spending money indiscriminately', but pursuit and belief.
Xiaonan's face turned grim, and he said solemnly: "I understand, Miss Yu Yue, I will definitely complete these orders well."
It's just a matter of not sleeping for three to five days and using ten or eight paper clones to work simultaneously. It's not a big problem.
Yu Yue smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yu Yue didn't know what made Xiao Nan look so serious.
Be serious.
But she knew that as long as the other party agreed, even if the sky fell and the earth collapsed, the other party would definitely complete the work with quality and quantity.
That's enough.
But she was also a little curious.
"Who does Miss Konan like from Ninja Girls?"
Even a rational and calm woman like Miss Xiaonan can contribute. She needs to remember this element of success.
Xiaonan was stunned for a moment.
"Ritsuko... No, it's Sakura after all."
She changed her mind halfway through her speech.
"Sakura... looks a lot like a friend of mine."
Speaking only of her own preferences, it would of course be Ritsuko.
When she disobeyed the organization's orders and not only did not kill Ying and Yayoi but let them go, what Ritsuko said to the scientist who created her still shocks her.
"It doesn't matter even if it costs my life. This is my choice."
"Father, you chose the wrong tool."
Even in endless darkness.
Even if your life has been arranged from the moment you are born.
The girl still blossomed into a pure white flower in the darkness.
How beautiful, how dazzling.
Xiaonan thinks that he can't do it... No, it should be said that most people in the world can't do it.
But precisely because we cannot do it, we yearn for it and long for it so much.
How could anyone not like Ritsuko like this?
but.
A hint of nostalgia appeared on Xiaonan's expression.
Sakura looks so much like Yahiko.
I was not forced to embark on the journey, but I actively chose the light.
Even if you know that this road is destined to be full of hardships, you can still move forward with a smile.
As Konan read Sakura's story, it was as if she saw Yahiko again.
Seeing him... or rather, people who share the same ideals as him constantly overcoming difficulties and moving towards success, and seeing "justice" defeat "evil" time and time again, my heart seems to become relieved.
At least I can temporarily forget the terrible reality and some terrible companions.
When choosing a companion, one really must not get carried away.
Especially those who talk nice things but don’t even have a plausible plan.
She herself is a bloody lesson.
"…Sorry, did I say too much?"
Speaking of the best
Xiaonan, who couldn't help but explain, stopped with a red face.
Only at this time did she behave like an ordinary young girl.
He will be very excited when talking about something he likes, unlike usual when he always repeats simple words like "yes" and "okay" with a blank expression at work.
"No, I gained a lot from what Miss Xiaonan said."
Having gotten the element, Ugetsu thanked him sincerely.
After listening to Xiaonan's words, she felt that she had grasped a lot of eye-catching points.
I'll go back and organize it, and after talking to Jiraiya, I should be able to work on a third work.
He looked relaxed, as if he was about to go to the store to order food by himself.
...But in this case, she provides the elements, and Jiraiya provides the complete story after integrating them.
It’s not much different from placing an order with a tablet in a restaurant.
It just so happens that he has been resting for a while, so it's time to prepare for a new job.
“A-choo!”
Jiraiya, who was preparing at the port, sneezed suddenly.
The noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of people several meters around. Tsunade, who was watching, couldn't help but frown.
He obviously couldn't stand the sloppy look of his former teammate.
"have no idea."
Jiraiya shook his head, then reached out to Tsunade for help.
"Tsunade, come on, help me."
Tsunade looked over with an expression that said 'what the hell are you doing again?'
"I, I think I sprained my waist."
The force of the sneeze just now was so strong that he couldn't move his waist.
Tsunade: “…”
Is it too late to say you don't know this guy?
It’s too late to say it now...of course.
After all, they will soon be responsible for the security of the 'Ocean Star'.
Although it has been tested several times before, this is an unprecedented underwater voyage in the world. To ensure safety, Tsunade will also go into the water with the "Ocean Star" on its first official operation to complete this twelve-hour voyage.
She and Jiraiya were standing at the port, waiting for the departure of the passenger ship to the 'Sea Port' where the Ocean Star was located.
"Lady Tsunade!"
Tsunade just turned around and saw the old man greeting her.
"Ah, Mr. Dazna."
"Master Tsunade, hey, Keisha, stop being so arrogant.
Me! "
Dazna trotted, patting his side to carefully protect himself, fearing that he would fall and cause a bad son-in-law.
"Father-in-law, didn't you complain about leg pain a few days ago? Be careful."
The man next to her smiled innocently, protected the old man, avoided the crowd and came in front of Tsunade.
"This is made by Tsuna|mi, you can eat it on the way."
Dazna said with a smile.
"Oh, I like this. Thank Tsuna|mi for me."
"No way, you helped us treat our illness, and we haven't repaid you yet. I can only provide you with this, and I feel extremely guilty."
Because Ugetsu chose to launch a new project in Wave Country, Jiraiya and Tsunade, who came from Ugetsu Store as store employees, also stayed.
This place had just been exploited, and its location on the sea was far away from any village or shop, so there was not even a place to have fun. Tsunade had no choice but to follow Ugetsu's arrangement and treat the people here.
Although she cannot see external injuries due to her hemophobia, the people of Wave Country are still very grateful to her.
Because if it weren't for her, they and their relatives and friends might have been suffering from illness for a long time.
How could it be like now, where I not only get rid of the pain, but also have the opportunity to find a job, and can smoothly get a job and earn money to support my family.
Dazna shook his head.
At this moment, his face no longer had the gloomy look of the past. He not only looked energetic, but even looked a few years younger.
His personality is becoming more and more lively, sometimes even too lively.
For example, like today, I took the things and ran away.
Don’t you think about how old he is? What will happen if he really falls?
As a daughter, Tsuna|mi tried to persuade the child several times but it was useless, so she had to ask her husband to help keep an eye on the child.
Dazna's clothes were still simple, but it was obvious that they were made of good and comfortable materials.
——This is not surprising. As a famous bridge builder in the Land of Waves, he naturally had more work to do after the economy of the Land of Waves was revitalized.
"That's nothing."
Tsunade's gaze fell on Keisha again.
"I've recovered completely."
Noticing Tsunade's gaze, Kaisa raised his arms and made a 'strong' pose, then patted the muscles on his arms hard.
Tsunade feels a little guilty towards Keisha.
Because of hemophobia
Due to the reasons, she did not directly participate in Kesha's treatment, but only helped with the treatment of internal injuries and physical conditioning afterwards.
——Although they rescued Kesha in time that day, he had already suffered a severe beating from Cardo and his men before that. Coupled with the heavy rain, he was truly breathing more than breathing in.
In addition, although he was physically strong, he was not a ninja after all... Tsunade was once worried that he might be left disabled.
Now seeing him alive and kicking, as a medical ninja, she is really relieved.
The two sides didn't say much before boarding the ship not far away.
Seeing this, Dazna took a few steps back and waved goodbye:
"We are just here to deliver something, so we won't delay you."
The old man did not stop after he finished speaking, but walked into the crowd again with his son-in-law.
Although she had not acted as a ninja for a long time, her keen sense still allowed her to capture the movements of the two people at the first time.
Keisha's persuasion and Dazna's unhappy complaints floated faintly into her ears.
Tsunade looked at the food wrapped in her hands and smiled.
The Kingdom of Waves is no longer the barren and desolate country it once was.
Standing on a high place at the harbor and looking around, there are people everywhere, up and down, left and right, front and back, east and west.
The arrival of the new Yu Yue Store project and its role as a hub between the continent and the ocean, as well as the constant flow of customers and goods have injected vitality into this once impoverished and invisible country.
The emergence of a large number of jobs not only boosted the income of local people, but also attracted many outsiders to settle here and make money.
As the population increases, various industries that are derived from people also develop.
Like a snowball, the Kingdom of Waves became more and more prosperous.
Tsunade was in a trance and couldn't even imagine what this place looked like when she first arrived - not to mention her, even many of the people of the Wave Country who had lived here for generations could not imagine how barren and desolate this place was in the past unless they specifically recalled it.
The suffering and trauma brought by Cardo are gradually healing in the rapid development. There is no need to heal them. I believe that one day in the future, they will be completely forgotten by people who have already lived a happy life.
The sea breeze with the unique salty smell of the sea blew through Tsunade's hair along with the noisy voices.
The sound was loud, but not annoying.
It even gave Tsunade a vague illusion.
A kind of 'maybe such days will continue forever
Go down' illusion.
Although she also knew that this was not possible.
But there was also a small, really small and soft voice in her heart saying:
What if?
What if it really works?
If that's really the case.
Tsunade shook her head helplessly.
I really am getting old.
Otherwise, how could such an unrealistic idea come about?
but.
If there really is such a future.
Then she must...
"I want to see how great this 'Sea Star' is."
A young voice sounded.
"Yes, isn't it something similar to the Desert Star?"
"It's probably because the people of the Water Country have never played it before that the rumor spreads so loudly."
A group of brightly dressed young men gathered together to chat, but their conversation was full of contempt for the Star of the Sea.
"That's right, let me sit down. I'm too lazy to sit down."
"That's right! That's it!"
——I’m not saying sarcastic things here just because they didn’t buy the tickets.
Yes, the people here are those who failed to buy the ticket to ride the Ocean Star and can only depart on the VIP sightseeing boat.
Even though everyone is rich.
But rich people are also divided into different levels.
A branch of the family like them who have no worries about food and clothing is definitely not as good as those wealthy and powerful nobles who can really spend money lavishly.
They can use the money in their hands to eat, drink, have fun and enjoy life.
But when it comes to high-priced luxury goods like the Desert Star, which are prepared for the truly wealthy, they can only look at it and shake their heads.
If you want to ride, you have to buy a ticket.
Naturally, it is not their turn to get the coveted position of Sea Star.
Although Yuyue Store has prepared a winning qualification for each ship.
But this one in ten thousand or even one in a hundred thousand chance... that is not something that ordinary people can get.
You have to know the difference between 'lucky' and 'unlucky' people.
That's enough to create a Mariana Trench.
Because they didn't specifically avoid talking to people, their behavior of saying the grapes are sour was seen and heard by many people.
There is a secret in this
Agreed - after all, they were not the only ones who failed to buy.
There are also those who are disdainful.
If you didn’t buy it, then you didn’t buy it.
Why do you have to say that you don't care?
Is this going to make you look good?
Just then, a man with a plump figure, delicate features and a amiable face walked over.
"What is this sea star you're talking about?"
He asked curiously.
"you do not know?"
Several people looked at the person who suddenly spoke to them in surprise.
The man shook his head when he heard that.
"I was traveling from somewhere else, and I saw everyone taking a boat to the Water Kingdom to participate in the event, so I followed them."
He said it lightly, and the people around him didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Isn't this what rich people live like?
Take a spontaneous trip anytime and anywhere, and then change to a destination that interests you more at will.
The attribute of "loving to teach others" exists in most people.
Seeing someone who could give him some guidance, he was more eager to speak:
"Hey, it's nothing special."
"Yes, it's a vehicle that can sail under the sea - you know the Desert Star, right? It's pretty much like that."
"Yeah, it's pretty much the same thing. I don't know why they even made an underwater version. It's so dark under the sea, what's there to see?"
"Even with this, there are still so many people vying for it. These people really have no vision."
Of course, nothing good can be said in a sour tone.
But the man who asked the question still grasped what he needed from it.
A never-before-seen means of transportation that can sail under the sea and is extremely difficult to obtain.
The man's eyes lit up.
"Where can I buy this ocean star?"
"ha?"
The young men who spoke at the beginning looked over.
"I told you this thing is annoying, it's boring and has a lot of restrictions, making it hard to get a ticket."
"Yes, the qualifications for the next seven days are all full. There is no chance."
"Hello!"
Hearing his companion say this, one of them quickly reached out and poked him.
We are talking bad things, you said it so clearly...isn't it like I
Have you paid close attention and gone out of your way to understand it?
The person who was stabbed looked at his companion in confusion, but finally shut his mouth when he saw the other's warning look.
If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.
“… Anyway, that’s what happened.”
One of them shrugged.
“No chance.”
But the plump and amiable man just nodded.
"I know, so I asked where I could buy a sea star."
He gave a simple smile.
Several young masters: "..."
And the man continued to speak.
"If I buy one myself, I won't have to buy a ticket."
"I only have two Desert Stars, and I don't have an Ocean Star yet."
The man said this with a smile, his tone as relaxed as if he was going to the market to buy a few pounds of meat.
The expressions of several young masters fell.
——So after all they talked about, they just talked about loneliness?
The man continued without caring:
"So you don't know either?"
"Then I'll go ask someone else. Thank you for telling me these things."
The man left happily.
The already depressed mood of several people was made even worse by this.
Can afford two Desert Stars...
They are totally not on the same level as them.
The clown is actually me?
Let’s not talk about what happened on the sightseeing boat for now.
The Ocean Star, which was officially put into use for the first time by Yuyue Store, also welcomed its first batch of passengers. !
