The two families finalized the wedding date. Since the wedding was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, Bai Chanyi was taken away from Yu Zhibo by the Wang Shouyi couple after the New Year's Eve dinner, returning to their luxurious villa.
"Bao Bao, you must miss me!" Before leaving, Bai Chanyi said in a sweet and coy tone, her wine-red eyes filled with joy and anticipation as she spoke to Yu Zhibo.
"I will. Remember to wait for me. The day after tomorrow, I will arrive with a grand sedan chair to welcome you home!" Yu Zhibo said with a smile, under the amused or gratified gazes of both families.
Since they had agreed to the marriage, there was no need to delay. Although Yu Zhibo was young, he lacked no responsibility and even felt a sense of anticipation.
After seeing off the Wang Shouyi family, his clone began to help clear the dinner table. Due to the immense appetites of supernaturals, all the dishes on the table were cleared by Yu Zhibo and Yu Xiaoying, except for a plate of fish. Thus, cleaning up was exceptionally easy.
"Water Release: Purification Jutsu!"
The clone spat out a ball of water, heated it with Fire Release Ninjutsu, and quickly washed the tableware. Yu Zhibo, meanwhile, quickly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the headquarters of the Dawn Organization.
Much had happened in the past month. Besides Yu Zhibo's own level reaching Rank 29, thirty-four supernatural academies had been established across Dragon Country. Simultaneously, the government issued a policy removing English from mandatory subjects, making it an elective.
This news brought immense joy to many struggling students. Along with the removal of English, supernatural subjects were fully implemented in primary, middle, and high schools, becoming mandatory subjects.
Yu Zhibo's actions, such as bringing back the Sensing Stone and initiating the Awakening Live Broadcast, which significantly improved Dragon Country's supernatural landscape, were even included in textbooks and became mandatory exam content, making him famous.
The cancellation of English subjects was not without reason.
The primary reason was that countries where English was spoken had largely ceased to exist, leaving only the nominal Lighthouse Country. Secondly, with the rapid advancement of technology, English vocabulary had begun to exceed the limits of human memory, and it was destined to be completely replaced by Chinese.
It was reported that researchers at the Super Research Institute were already fully engaged in studying how to replace English with Chinese in all fields, including computer science.
The Super Research Institute had many research-oriented supernaturals, whose intelligence was generally several to tens of times higher than ordinary people. Therefore, various modifications faced almost no obstacles. However, achieving widespread adoption would still require some time.
Since the announcement of the supernatural era, Dragon Country's technology had advanced by leaps and bounds. After the appearance of the Destiny Shield, it entered a period of explosive growth. New patents emerged almost daily in various fields, with controllable nuclear fusion-related patents alone numbering over a thousand.
Against this backdrop—
The operations of the Dawn Organization began to fall into place. The mode of group missions was similar to the Akatsuki organization in the anime, with teams of two responsible for infiltration or eliminating evil forces abroad.
In the Fusang Secret Realm, after Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto returned from their battles, they walked side-by-side on the marble-paved streets of the village, heading towards Ichiraku Ramen.
"Hey, Sasuke, our coordination this week was pretty good. We eliminated sixteen A-rank Anomalies and eight A-rank Black Demons on the west side of Greenland, along with 162 A-rank Sea Beasts, not to mention countless B-ranks. Your energy points should be almost enough, right? Who are you planning to revive next?"
"Annoying, what business is it of yours who I revive!" Uchiha Sasuke said coldly.
"Don't be so distant. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't covered me with your Armored Susanoo in time, I would have been seriously injured by that seahorse's attack. We're best friends!" Naruto said with a grin, slinging an arm around Sasuke's shoulder.
*Jiji~*
Arcs of electricity immediately jumped from Sasuke's body. He symbolically zapped Naruto with Chidori Stream. As Naruto yelped and jumped away, Sasuke snorted and quickened his pace.
"Wait for me!" Naruto quickly chased after him, shaking his hand and complaining, "Don't just discharge electricity randomly, damn it..."
"Don't put your arm around me, we're not that close!" Sasuke said, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he shifted his attention to the system interface in his mind and began to ponder.
"I've gathered the 4 million energy points needed to revive Itachi, but I still need 700 million emotional points. I've only accumulated over 300 million. My methods of tormenting people are too monotonous. I need to watch more horror movies. If that doesn't work, I can use the Naraka Path to upgrade the Anomalies. The upgrade process will inevitably generate more emotional points, and then I can kill them to earn more energy points..."
"Although the Main God's proxy doesn't interfere much, the strategy it provides is quite good and saves me a lot of time."
With that thought, Uchiha Sasuke quickened his pace, planning to continue grinding monsters after eating and resting.
Ichiraku Ramen was summoned by Yu Zhibo out of consideration for the lack of restaurants in the village where the Dawn Organization was located. While retaining his original ramen-making skills, he was given the added skill of making various Chinese dishes and tasked with opening the restaurant to earn money.
After the restaurant had been open for half a month, its profits were considerable. Although most of the profits went to Yu Zhibo, it was enough for Ichiraku to accumulate the initial down payment of energy points to revive Ayame. Now, father and daughter were busy in the shop, living a prosperous life.
"Uncle Ichiraku, four bowls of Spirit Tonkotsu Ramen and a pot of Braised A-rank Sea Beef!" Naruto announced as he lifted the curtain, his voice clear and loud.
"Oh, it's Naruto. Please wait a moment!" Ayame said with a smile, skillfully preparing the noodles.
"I'll have an A-set Thunder Serpent meat and a bowl of rice, thank you!" Sasuke sat down at the table, wiping the blade of his Thunderclap Sword.
This sword was obtained by exchanging 2 million merit points. With the increase in the number of supernaturals, the requirements for obtaining merit points had increased significantly. Previously, a D-rank Anomaly could be exchanged for two hundred merit points, but now it was only twenty. This was a macro-control measure by Dragon Country to prevent the inflation of merit points.
Upon exchanging for R
"This is a world completely different from the ninja world. Hinata, you should have received your sub-system. Digest the information well, and let's work hard together, Dattebayo!" Naruto said with a sunny smile, offering encouragement.
"I... I understand, Naruto. Thank you!" While Naruto was speaking, Hinata also heard the system prompt in her mind. Immediately, she began to study the system as Naruto instructed.
Naruto didn't disturb her further. He stood up and walked out of the room, rubbing his chin as he thought.
"Who should I revive next? Sakura? No, I have a feeling something terrible might happen if I summon Sakura. I'll think about it later. Then there's Teacher Kakashi and Teacher Iruka... Teacher Kakashi actually requires 400 million emotional points and 2 million energy points. The quantity isn't enough. Teacher Iruka is a bit cheaper... Yes, that's settled..."
And just as Naruto was preparing to summon Iruka, on the distant coast of the Anima Continent, a man with spiky hair wearing red armor stood in the void, arms crossed, gazing at the vast horizon.
Beside him stood a man with long black hair, bright black eyes, also wearing armor, standing respectfully and also looking forward.
These two were Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
"According to Black Zetsu's intelligence, the Sea King's son visits this place every month to receive food and spiritual energy from the Lighthouse Country. Hashirama, are you ready? Don't drag me down!"
Uchiha Madara's lips curled into a smile, a hint of excitement on his face. According to the intelligence, the Sea King's son was at Rank 46 of A-class, and after a month of development, he and Senju Hashirama were only at Rank 40 of A-class, making him a formidable opponent.
"We don't know who will drag whom down yet!" Senju Hashirama's face also showed a look of anticipation, his fighting spirit surging.
"Heh~"
Uchiha Madara let out a light snort, slowly closed his eyes, and then abruptly opened them.
When his eyes reopened, the original scarlet Sharingan had disappeared, replaced by a pair of Rinnegan with a faint purple glow.
——————
Madara developed it himself. Even without the power of Asura's reincarnation, it should be normal for him to develop it, after all, he was the one who unbound the Reanimation Jutsu with his bare hands!
Finally, thank you all for your gifts. I will thank you all together another day!
