I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

After the man in black was repelled, everyone's attention, as if drawn by invisible threads, refocused on the treasure chest. However, when Guild Leader Winnie and her team rushed to the chest, they found it had already been opened, and the man in black had stealthily taken the pointer fragments inside. Those pointer fragments were no ordinary objects. Now, they were in the hands of the man in black. It should be noted that although this man in black had just experienced a fierce battle and was seriously injured, he was like a wounded but even more cunning wild beast, moving with uncanny speed, and for the time being, no one had been able to track him down.

In this helpless situation, Guild Leader Winnie, like a calm navigator in the face of danger, could only lead the team silently back to the guild headquarters. The guild headquarters was like a formidable fortress, a place where wisdom and strength from all directions converged. Everyone clearly understood that at this critical moment, they had to gather together to devise a practical solution; otherwise, this mysterious fragment of the pointer could trigger a series of unimaginable crises.

Wang Xiaoyi, Alpha, and Allen, the three guys secretly known as "newbies," were like outsiders excluded from the inner circle, completely unqualified to participate in such high-level meetings. However, Wang Xiaoyi wasn't particularly interested in attending. This adventure had been incredibly arduous; the journey across mountains and rivers was exhausting enough, not to mention the constant evasion of monsters. Wang Xiaoyi felt like a little mouse being driven around relentlessly, chased relentlessly by the monsters, his body and mind utterly tormented.

Alpha and Allen were in no better shape, equally exhausted from the ordeal. When they finally returned home, Alpha was like a deflated balloon, collapsing onto the sofa as soon as he entered, yelling, "Finally back alive!" He recalled the ordeal with lingering fear. He had instinctively attacked the man in black. Thinking about it now, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a chill ran down his spine. After all, that man in black was going to kill Brother Renn; how could he just stand by and watch? He thought to himself that if he encountered that situation again, he would probably still rush in without hesitation. But the thought of that horrific scene made him shudder again.

Seeing Alpha's cowardly appearance, Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He joked, "Alpha, look at you, you little coward. That man in black is a ninja, the profession you've always dreamed of becoming."

Upon hearing this, Alpha's eyes lit up instantly, like stars suddenly illuminated. He exclaimed with curiosity and longing, "The strength of ninjas is terrifying? That black fire was truly amazing; it even broke Lady Linglong's magic!" His eyes were filled with anticipation for his profession and awe for the ninjas.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoyi smiled and continued, "Yes, Alpha. Actually, every profession has its own advantages and disadvantages. The ninja profession has its advantages and disadvantages..."

The advantages of ninjas lie in their high mobility, their ability to hide and move quickly, and their ability to attack enemies unexpectedly; their diverse skills: they master assassination techniques, ninjutsu, and other skills to deal with different situations; their excellent adaptability: they can calmly and quickly respond to complex situations; and their superior intelligence gathering: they can infiltrate and obtain intelligence silently.

The relative disadvantages are also very obvious, such as weak defense, as light equipment makes it difficult to withstand strong attacks; low health: it is easy to lose too much health and lose combat power in prolonged battles; dependent on the environment: its skills are greatly affected by the environment; weak in melee combat: its melee ability is slightly inferior to that of melee classes.

"That ninja in black would be in deep trouble if he encountered our Vice President Leon." Alpha thought about it and realized it made sense. There are always counters between different classes. President Winnie, being a mage, is countered by assassins and ninjas. "By the way, Brother Renn, you're a priest now, so you should be countered by ninjas too. But you weren't instantly killed in that battle." The other two high-level adventurers were instantly killed, and Alpha asked this probing question. Wang Xiaoyi gave a wry smile. He wasn't dead because all his attribute points were allocated to health, and he had a bunch of passive skills. Under normal circumstances, he was harder to kill than a cockroach. The time he was ambushed, his Cowardice passive skill didn't trigger, meaning it wasn't life-threatening. Now, triggering Cowardice was a signal that his life wasn't in danger. Wang Xiaoyi understood this perfectly. But there were some things he couldn't tell Alpha; he wouldn't understand anyway. He could only say that he had allocated all his attribute points to health and was lucky.

Alpha was skeptical. He said he had also put all his attribute points into Agility. There really was another idiot like Wang Xiaoyi, who couldn't be locked into adding points to Health by the system, while Alpha had voluntarily added all his points to Agility. Wang Xiaoyi was both amused and exasperated. Hadn't the teacher taught him that development should be well-rounded? If Wang Xiaoyi knew what the teacher had done, he would definitely give Alpha a good beating.

Thinking back to the black flames used by the man in black, it must have been Amaterasu. Although this ninjutsu is very powerful, its aftereffects are fatal; it can cause blindness. I still need to remind Alpha in advance that some ninjutsu with serious aftereffects should not be learned lightly, and even if learned, they should not be used lightly.

Alpha's eyes were filled with worry upon hearing this: "Amaterasu? That's a truly terrifying ninjutsu."

Wang Xiaoyi frowned slightly, his expression grave, and said, "Since this black-clad ninja can use Amaterasu, he must have a special method or a strong will to suppress the aftereffects. However, this might also be a desperate gamble, since this kind of ninjutsu is extremely taxing on the user. Alpha, this also reminds us that we must be cautious in learning and using ninjutsu."

Alpha asked, somewhat confused, "Brother Rein, what do you mean?" Wang Xiaoyi slowly replied, "You see, even if a ninjutsu like Amaterasu has severe side effects, no matter how powerful it is, it shouldn't be learned lightly. You know, once you learn it, you might fall into an irrecoverable situation. For example, the Sharingan among bloodline limits, once activated, although it grants immense power, the damage to the body is immeasurable. Moreover, using it in battle, a slight mistake could lead to a backlash from that powerful force, causing blindness or even endangering one's life."

Alpha's eyes widened in surprise: "There's such a ninjutsu?" Wang Xiaoyi nodded, "But don't worry about that, you're not from the Uchiha clan, so even if you wanted to learn it, you couldn't learn the Sharingan." Then Wang Xiaoyi continued, "There's also the ninjutsu, Corpse Soul Reincarnation. It's a ninjutsu that allows you to control corpses. While it can unexpectedly turn the tide of battle, if used improperly, the evil power carried by the controlled corpse can backfire and invade the caster's soul. Many ninjas who use it have their souls corrupted by darkness, becoming insane and cruel."

"Brother Rein, are there any others?" Alpha asked curiously. Wang Xiaoyi pondered for a moment, then said, "Like Fire Release: Kagutsuchi. It can transform the form of flames into various weapons or defensive fortifications, making it a very powerful ninjutsu. However, every time this ninjutsu is used, the user's body will be burned by the high temperature, and the impurities in the flames will slowly erode the body's internal organs. With long-term use, the body will become weaker and weaker, and in the end, the user may collapse due to the decline of bodily functions before even being attacked by the enemy."

Alpha listened attentively, his expression turning serious: "Brother Rein, I understand. Then we must be careful and follow the correct methods in learning and using ninjutsu."

Alpha muttered to himself, "But Brother Rein, I haven't become a ninja yet. I'm just a little thief right now."

Wang Xiaoyi laughed, "No need to rush, young man. Just take it slow. As long as you don't die, you'll have everything."

Then Alpha asked another probing question, "By the way, Brother Rein, how do you know so many ninja techniques?"

Wang Xiaoyi coughed twice. "You'll know if you watch Naruto." Thinking back, was that man in black from the Uchiha clan? Why did he use Amaterasu? Didn't he need a bloodline limit? More questions arose. There were too many mysteries in this world; too many plot holes to fill slowly.

Alpha looked bewildered, his eyes full of confusion: "What is Naruto?"

Wang Xiaoyi smiled and comforted him, "If you have the chance in the future, I'll let you read the comic books. They're really good, the three big ones: Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece."

Alpha looked completely bewildered; why was Brother Renn acting so strangely today? Allen, standing nearby, couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only laugh awkwardly.

After this adventure, Alpha and Allen were exhausted, like two limp noodles that had been bent many times. They dragged their heavy steps, supporting each other, back to their room. Wang Xiaoyi himself felt as if he had been severely beaten; every muscle ached in protest. He shook his head helplessly, thinking he should probably relax in a large bathtub.

Wang Xiaoyi slowly lay down in the warm and spacious bathtub. The warm water enveloped his body, like a pair of gentle hands massaging him. Leaning against the edge of the tub, his thoughts began to drift. He wondered if it was possible to find a shortcut to get through this difficult main quest. For example, was there a way to sneak through it? But after thinking it over, he could only shake his head helplessly. After all, the difficulty of this quest was undeniable; it wasn't something that could be easily faked.

After showering, Wang Xiaoyi, dressed in loose casual clothes, lazily walked to the sofa and sat down. He opened the system interface, saw the annoying ads popping up, and skillfully closed them without expression. Then, he expertly navigated to the gratitude points exchange interface and chose to exchange for two bags of potato chips. He opened one bag, handed one to the equally relaxed Elf King Dragon (in human form) next to him, and picked up a bag for himself, enjoying them immensely.

With his mouth stuffed full of potato chips and his cheeks bulging like a little squirrel, Wang Xiaoyi mumbled to the Elf King Dragon (in human form), "Teacher, you're really amazing! Imagine if you took action and wiped out all those bad guys in one go, wouldn't that be wonderful? I'd find you tons of comic books to read, all sorts of fun games to play to your heart's content, and I could even get you countless delicious foods!"

The Elf Dragon King (in human form) sighed softly, and said with a serious and earnest expression, "I'd like to, but I can't. If I were to casually disrupt the balance of the world, such behavior would be punished by the gods. You must understand that the birth of every power is not without reason; they all exist within the natural balance system of this world. Like a sophisticated machine, each part has its function. If you arbitrarily change a part, the entire machine may not be able to function properly."

Hearing the words of the Elf King Dragon (in human form), Wang Xiaoyi scratched his head, pondering: "So this world plays the same game, the so-called balance. It's like a company: there are diligent, hardworking employees whose efforts form the foundation of the company; but there are also those who only know how to flatter and fawn, lacking any real work ability. Logically, the boss should value those who actually do the work, so why allow those who only talk a good game to exist? There seem to be complex reasons. Perhaps they possess special resources, or perhaps they are adept at creating a superficial harmony within the company? Anyway, now that he understands the rules of this world, he'd just go with the flow. Let the brave ones be the ones charging into battle, confronting the dark forces head-on; he could just grab whatever he could find."

The Elf Dragon King (in human form) fell into deep thought, then his eyes lit up. He slowly said, “While we can’t directly confront those dark forces head-on, we can try a different approach. For example, we can find their weaknesses and dismantle them step by step, just like attacking a weak point in war. We can start with those they’ve coerced or seduced. These people are like pitiful worms slowly being swallowed by darkness. If we can rescue them, we can weaken the dark forces to some extent, then gradually infiltrate their ranks and slowly dismantle them. Moreover, we need to establish closer ties between the continents and share intelligence. That way, we can know immediately about any movement and take effective countermeasures.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyi's eyes suddenly lit up. Whether the structure collapsed or not wasn't important; what mattered was rescuing those poor wretches. They would all be incredibly grateful to him, their gratitude immeasurable. This idea was absolutely brilliant! Instead of directly confronting those dark forces, he could sabotage their plans from the sidelines. He wouldn't have to face those powerful bosses head-on; it was like playing a game, defeating the smaller monsters and mid-level bosses while casually accumulating gratitude points. Brilliant, truly brilliant!

The system made me change my class to priest, and even told me to put all my attribute points into health, plus gave me a skill that looks really cowardly. Is it just trying to make me cower like this until the final boss is defeated by the hero? Haha, this system is such a mischievous little system, going to great lengths to save my life. I wonder what kind of expression the goddess would have if she knew what I was thinking? Is that what she meant?
