UGB Chapter 119 Gold
Chapter 119 Gold
The strongest healer...
Looking at the newly acquired Pearl Jam and reflecting on his existing abilities, Naruto couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
In an unexpected field—healing—he unexpectedly reached a pinnacle that no one else could achieve.
【Crazy Diamond】: Possesses the power of "restoration". No matter how severe the external injury, comminuted fracture, or even organ damage, as long as there is still a breath left and the soul has not left the body, it can "repair" everything back to its original perfect state.
The Gold Experience: Possesses the creative power to "give life." It compensates for the shortcomings of the Mad Diamond, capable of creating entirely new, living organs and tissues to replace those congenitally missing or irreparable parts due to special reasons. It is a creator that brings something from nothing.
Now, the emergence of [Pearl Jam] has completely filled the last piece of the puzzle! It focuses on internal "conditioning" and "healing." For internal ailments, chronic injuries, toxin accumulation, and even mental fatigue and trauma that are difficult or inconvenient to deal with during the crazy diamond and gold experience, it can gently and thoroughly eradicate and condition them through a unique "food therapy" approach.
Naruto still has a long way to go in terms of strength, but in terms of "saving lives" and "protecting health" alone, he feels like he has already maxed out his skill tree!
This gave him unprecedented confidence that he could make up for the tragedies in the original work in the future.
If you have such an incredible combination of healing techniques and can still prevent those tragedies from happening again... then you might as well just find a place to smash your head against and die!
At this moment, Naruto had 6050 points left... The next three 10-pulls were still all unsuccessful, and the feeling of being unlucky made Naruto a little annoyed, but in the end he calmed down and spent the remaining points.
The final three draws have begun.
On my first ten-pull, the light was still mainly blue and white, and I got some standard ninja tools and chakra boosting rewards. However, I was lucky enough to get another [Basic Natural Energy Affinity (+5%)], bringing my total affinity to 15%.
Although no new rewards were given, Naruto was not disappointed. Moreover, as his affinity with natural energy gradually increased, he began to feel some extremely subtle unusual sensations.
It was as if some kind of chaotic energy particles, different from chakra, existed in the surrounding air, drawn to his body and slowly and spontaneously merging into it. This process, unlike chakra refining, did not require active guidance; it was more like a passive breathing process, happening naturally.
This feeling was very strange and indescribable. Far from causing any discomfort, it made him feel warm and exceptionally comfortable.
Immediately afterwards, Naruto began his second ten-pull with anticipation.
However, the moment he opened the first card, a burst of purple light suddenly erupted!
Another purple reward?! Naruto immediately looked excitedly at the reward details in the purple light.
However, when he saw the details of the reward, the smile on his face froze instantly.
Congratulations on obtaining: Top-tier Culinary Skills
[Item Description: Possesses extraordinary culinary skills sufficient to bring out the ultimate flavor of ingredients. The resulting dishes will possess a soul-stirring deliciousness, enough to make tasters exclaim from the bottom of their hearts, "It's so good to be alive!"]
[Note: Even with such culinary skills, the food still won't glow... Come on, no matter how delicious the food is, it can't glow, right?!]
...Top-notch culinary skills?
Domestic life skills?
A skill that seems to have absolutely no connection to combat, cultivation, or improving strength?
Naruto was momentarily dumbfounded. Could it be that because he had just drawn [Pearl Jam], the system had thoughtfully given him a matching cooking skill as a bonus?
To be fair, Naruto is aware of his own cooking skills. Having lived alone for many years, his cooking level is roughly at the "home-style cooking" level, which is about the same as what you'd find at a roadside eatery.
While the healing effect of [Pearl Jam] needs to be triggered by "eating" it, this Stand itself does not have any function to enhance the taste of food!
In the original JOJO series, the reason why its user, Tony Trazadeh, was able to make dishes that were so delicious that people would scream was entirely due to his own superb culinary skills; the Stand was only responsible for the "healing" part.
Naruto was initially disappointed, but soon, he had a sudden realization!
Wait a minute! This might be... an unexpected and wonderful reward!
He suddenly realized that the core of his [Bond System] was to gain points and become stronger by establishing deep emotional connections with important figures!
If you want to quickly build rapport and gain favor, what could be a more classic and effective method than "winning someone's heart through their stomach"?
Whether in dating sims or anime, being "good at cooking" is a classic attribute that male protagonists use to show their "gentle" side!
This reward not only enhances the effects of the pearl jam, but it's also a fantastic way to boost favorability! From now on, I can cook for the Satsuki family, deliver bento boxes to Iruka-sensei, and even entertain the occasional visiting elders of the third generation…
Instantly, the value of this "housekeeping" reward in Naruto's mind soared to a strategic level!
And so, with a sliver of hope, Naruto began his final ten-pull.
To be fair, today's gains were actually quite good, especially the [Natural Energy Affinity] and [Pearl Jam] and their accompanying cooking skills, which are all abilities with great potential and are very practical.
However… deep down, he still secretly longed for something that could directly bring about a leap in strength… Hmm, it seems his luck wasn’t that good today.
With these slightly mixed feelings, he clicked on the cards in front of him one by one... Chakra Boost... Taijutsu Enhancement... Hmm, more blue skies and white clouds...
Just as he opened the seventh card—
"Wow! The Golden Legend!!!"
An unprecedented, extremely exciting notification sound suddenly exploded in his mind. The sound was so loud and intense that it almost made Naruto stumble!
"Gold...Golden Legend?!" Naruto instantly became fully alert, all his drowsiness and disappointment vanished, and his heart pounded wildly!
Gold! Even more advanced than the previous legends?! The ultimate reward?!
What could it be? Wood Release? Rinnegan? Tenseigan?! Countless of the most powerful and top-tier possibilities in the ninja world flashed through his mind.
The light gradually faded, and the physical reward slowly emerged...
However, what appeared was not the world-destroying ninjutsu or bloodline he had imagined.
It was... about the size of two soccer balls, completely white, with green circular patterns on it...
Egg.
Naruto, "...?"
Congratulations on obtaining: Pokémon Egg (Legendary)
[Item Description: This egg contains a mysterious and powerful legendary Pokémon. Hatching requires the host to carry this egg with them and accumulate a certain number of steps.]
[Please note: Although the eggshell is extremely hard, far exceeding ordinary textures, it still requires careful protection from the host. Pokémon are pure and magical creatures; if the host treats it with sincerity, it will surely repay you with sincerity and become your most reliable partner.]
