Time passed quietly, and Haruto's Golden Egg Shop was finally upgraded successfully!
The upgraded Golden Egg Shop now features not only the egg-smashing function, but also a full mall system and an equipment upgrade function.
Additionally, the original egg-smashing feature has undergone tremendous changes!
First and foremost, the biggest change is the type of eggs!
The original golden egg has now been upgraded to a platinum egg, priced at 8888 Ryo each.
Each platinum egg still contains three items, but the number of times a person can smash an egg has been greatly reduced—now, each person can only smash one egg per day!
Though platinum eggs are more expensive and opportunities to smash them are fewer, the quality of the items inside has greatly improved!
Basically, something useful comes out of every egg!
Haruto's own egg-smashing privileges have also changed.
Now, only after selling 100 platinum eggs can Haruto earn the chance to smash a special egg—this egg is no longer a diamond egg, but has evolved into a King Egg!
The King Egg contains only one item, but that item is guaranteed to be an S-level reward!
"Damn! There's even a King Egg now?" Haruto muttered to himself. "This system even has ranks?"
"Then why did it skip Master and Grandmaster?! Are Masters not worthy?!"
As for the new mall and equipment upgrade functions—they're the biggest game-changers!
Combat items like recovery potions and specialized kunai sets will no longer drop from platinum eggs.
All those items have been moved to the mall, and their acquisition method has changed as well.
This was the surprise Haruto had mentioned to Naruto earlier!
Now, you can purchase these items using blue essence obtained by smashing golden eggs, with the cost depending on the item's rarity.
Another update: blue essence can now be directly bought with money at a one-to-one ratio!
Also, the biggest feature of blue essence is that it enables a ten-time draw option with golden eggs!
However, golden egg draws no longer grant diamond eggs, nor do they contribute toward a King Egg reward.
And if you choose to do ten golden egg draws in one go, you can't draw a platinum egg on the same day!
Finally, the equipment upgrade system now utilizes the Woodcutter's Fountain created by Haruto.
Just toss your weapon into the fountain and add 1998 blue essence to upgrade your gear.
Typically, each enhancement gives +1. If you're lucky, the Fountain Goddess might bless the weapon with a +2 boost!
But beware—overusing the fountain may anger the goddess, causing your item to shatter completely and become nothing more than fertilizer for the spring!
Haruto looked at the upgraded Golden Egg Shop and nodded in satisfaction.
Although from the outside the shop still looked like a humble storefront, inside—it was a whole different world!
The shop now covers 1,000 square meters and is divided into four sections: egg-smashing area, shopping area, strengthening area, and testing area. Each section boasts its own unique aesthetic!
The testing area is the largest, covering 500 square meters!
It's filled with all kinds of equipment so customers can test out their newly obtained powers.
On the shop's reopening day, business was booming!
Every customer who stepped inside was stunned by the luxurious interior.
"Whoa!!" Naruto shouted, running around and exploring every corner.
"Boss! Why is your shop so huge now?!" he asked in surprise.
He still remembered how cramped it was when he smashed the Mirror of Erised—there had been barely enough room to stand!
Thankfully, the shop had been temporarily expanded that day. Now, those problems were a thing of the past.
Even if they added dozens of mirrors, it wouldn't feel crowded anymore.
Naruto also noticed a subtle aroma in the air that seemed to boost his chakra flow.
"If I could train here, I'd definitely grow way faster!" he thought.
"Haha!" Haruto laughed. "Of course! I spent a fortune upgrading this place! If it stayed the same, I'd go bankrupt!"
At the thought of it, Haruto's heart ached. He had spent 100 diamond eggs—his stash from over half a year! All gone in one shot!
But when he looked around at the new store, his heart balanced out. At least his sacrifice wasn't in vain.
"Speaking of which… the Chūnin Exams are coming soon. Time to prepare a branch store," Haruto thought to himself.
After checking out the new store, Naruto pulled out his wallet to smash an egg—only to be stopped by Haruto.
"What?! This is 2,000 Ryo!" Naruto protested.
"Haha!" Haruto smirked. "You think this is just a renovation?"
He then explained the shop's new rules to everyone in detail.
"Damn it!" Naruto yelled. "Sasuke, your junk essence finally came in handy!"
Sasuke stood to the side, his face darkened with three black lines.
He'd been smashing eggs daily, only to get nothing but blue essence and chakra potions. Over time, his stockpile had grown absurdly huge!
Finally, the upgraded shop gave that junk a purpose!
"The Golden Egg system got upgraded?!" Kakashi asked. "The classic items inside…"
"Don't worry—they're still there," Haruto chuckled. "And now the drop rate is even higher!"
"Of course! Classics are classics. How could they disappear?"
"Then I'll take a platinum egg," Kakashi said, placing 10,000 yen on the counter.
"Boss, you're so generous!" Haruto snapped his fingers, and a dazzling platinum egg materialized!
It wasn't as flashy as the golden eggs, but its noble aura was unmistakable.
Crack!
Kakashi didn't bother admiring its beauty. He picked up the special platinum hammer and smashed the egg.
Three balls of platinum light floated in front of him.
"Just place your hand on one of the lights to learn what's inside," Haruto said calmly.
"Oh, this is cool!" Naruto exclaimed.
Kakashi nodded and placed his hand on one of the light orbs. Immediately, a stream of information flowed into his mind, describing the items contained within the three glowing balls.
