“For Hyuga Ninja, instead of wasting effort on these trivial matters, it's more effective to just go up and throw a punch.”
Zheng Zha's case is typical of someone who overestimates the power of thermal weapons and is insensitive to numbers, thinking that if a Kunai can kill a Ninja, then thermal weapons can do even more.
But in reality, to achieve effects like breaking stone tablets, cutting down large trees, or smashing through houses with one's bare body, it's impossible without some defensive power.
And Ninja can do all these things, very easily.
This represents extreme strength and defense; bullets would at most just graze their skin.
A Ninja can kill another Ninja with a Kunai, but that doesn't mean a firearm with fixed power can.
In the arc where Pain carried the rice, one of the Six Paths of Pain was a mechanical cyborg who specialized in thermal weapons, but the results he produced were just mediocre.
It cannot be said to be completely without power, but it can also be said that the effect was mediocre.
Zheng Zha's idea of combining Byakugan with a sniper rifle would definitely not work in the Naruto World.
However, in the Main God Space, it still has some practical use.
Electromagnetic sniper rifles manufactured with future technology might be able to inflict some damage on first and second-tier transcendents, but they would be useless against stronger individuals.
Hearing Uchiha Gen's explanation, Zheng Zha suddenly realized: “So that’s how it is!”
At this moment, Zhan Lan, the big-chested girl with glasses, touched her forehead.
She spoke with some distress, turning the topic to business: “I’m a girl who’s not very good at combat, so it seems I can only be a support. Little brother Gen, what can I exchange for with my C-rank side mission and three thousand reward points?”
While they were chatting earlier, Zhan Lan had been thinking about her future role in the team.
For close-quarters combat, Zhan Lan knew she didn't have the talent.
To become a primary long-range combatant, her reward points were too tight.
She casually looked at the magic-based professions in the Main God exchange list; to become a mage, she would not only need to exchange for the relevant bloodline but also additional spells.
Zhan Lan knew that if she chose this, she probably wouldn't become a qualified combatant for several horror movies.
At that time, not only would she be unable to play her proper role, but she would also require her teammates to protect her additionally.
Although the Central Continent Team had Uchiha Gen as a strong support, she couldn't really become the useless burden in this newly formed team, could she?
In that case, if her teammates thought she was useless, a slight hesitation during a rescue would easily lead to her death in a horror movie.
Under these circumstances, Zhan Lan chose support as her future development direction.
“Lan-jie, it’s perfectly fine for you to become a support.”
Uchiha Gen first affirmed Zhan Lan's choice.
Then he continued: “Healing and perception are the two highest priority types of support. Healing can increase our recovery ability after combat, and perception can help us better find targets or avoid enemy attacks.”
“For healing, we can have the Main God heal us when we return to the Main God Space. In horror movies, we can also use some healing items to compensate for now.”
“Therefore, what is most urgently needed right now is perception-type support. Lan-jie, search for a skill called Mental Power Scan here in the Main God, and see if you can reinforce it? This skill requires the reinforcee’s mental stats to meet the criteria.”
Zhan Lan opened her mouth in surprise: “I can reinforce it! The Main God says that after reinforcing this skill, I can release my mental power to perceive the surrounding environment, and as my mental power increases, the scanning range will also greatly increase.”
Then, she sighed:
“It's just that I don't have enough reward points. The reinforcement requires one C-rank side mission and four thousand reward points. I have the side mission, but I'm still short a thousand reward points. It seems I can only figure out a way to get through the next horror movie, and then reinforce this skill.”
Zheng Zha rubbed his head beside them and said, “The Main God says my physical constitution can’t handle mental energy; I need over three thousand mental power points to learn this skill.”
Beside them, Zhang Jie, the slacker, also feigned ignorance: “Me too, I need three thousand mental power points to learn it.”
As Zhang Jie spoke, Uchiha Gen also felt him using his Eye of Suggestion to cast a genjutsu to silence him, preventing him from exposing the secret that the other party possessed powerful strength but was acting like a slacker.
Uchiha Gen had extensive experience in countering genjutsu; he disrupted his Chakra flow and ignored his genjutsu.
But he remained calm on the surface, not saying anything.
If the other party wanted to be a slacker, then let him be.
If he exposed Zhang Jie's true strength now and forced the other party to initiate a captain selection, it would only lead to a fight to the death.
Uchiha Gen was not confident in defeating the other party for the time being, and the current relationship between them was not good enough for Zhang Jie to sacrifice his life for the Central Continent Team.
Because of this, exposing Zhang Jie's disguise and turning hostile now would not bring any practical benefits.
Sometimes, it's better to be wisely confused.
So, Uchiha Gen continued the topic of team exchange: “Lan-jie, just exchange it directly. I still have over seventeen hundred reward points left here. I’ll help Lan-jie exchange for this perception skill, Mental Power Scan, first.”
“With this skill, we can better complete the Main God’s missions.”
Uchiha Gen personally demonstrated with his actions what it means to contribute to team building.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan's face showed a look of surprise and eagerness: “We can help each other exchange things?”
Then, she looked at Uchiha Gen with some emotion.
She hadn't expected Uchiha Gen to be willing to lend her valuable reward points.
One thousand reward points, after all, could be exchanged for one hundred points of body attributes, which was a significant improvement for Uchiha Gen.
However, after a slight thought, she still refused: “Little brother Gen, your Saiyan bloodline can stimulate potential through injury recovery. Keeping these reward points for your cultivation will definitely be more useful than me exchanging for skills. I’ll just save up reward points to exchange for it myself.”
After thinking for a moment, Zhan Lan added: “I’ll first exchange for some physical stats and weapons and equipment to get through the next horror movie, and I’ll save all the remaining points.”
“Before the next horror movie begins, you can cultivate as much as you want. If you don't have enough reward points to restore your body, I can lend you my reward points first.”
A hanger-on must have the awareness of a hanger-on; ensuring the main carry's development is the optimal choice for safely getting through a horror movie.
Therefore, not only should they not drag down the main carry's economy, but they should also find ways to give him more resources for development; this is the optimal solution for team building.
Of course, the premise is that individuals must have sufficient trust in the team.
Zhan Lan's trust in Uchiha Gen was established when he, as a strong individual, was willing to protect them in the Resident Evil World.
Now, Uchiha Gen was also willing to lend her valuable reward points.
Zhan Lan believed that Uchiha Gen would protect her well in the horror movie world.
