Chapter 16

"Stop saying that! I'm so happy!" Cat Fairy Xiao pounced on the snacks, rolling around in bliss.

"Explain the mirror to me!" For the foodie Cat Fairy Xiao, Bān was powerless, covering his forehead and saying helplessly.

Picking up the only secret item, Bān used the explanation mirror to shine on it, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.

"Eh? What's wrong with Bān!" Cat Fairy Xiao was taken aback, picking up the explanation mirror from the pile of snacks and shining it on the secret item, then chuckled.

【Wall-Mounted Dog House】

Item Description: Just stick this poster where you like, and a dog house will appear.

Item Evaluation: A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own dog house.

Cat Fairy Xiao patted Bān with her paw, laughing and saying, "Don't look at it as just a dog house. This is a spatial item, one of the wallpaper series items. The environment inside is great, much more convenient than a folding house. Why don't we stay in it tonight?"

"Forget it, I'll stay in the folding house." Bān sighed.

"Oh!" Cat Fairy Xiao was just joking with Bān; after all, she didn't want to stay in a dog house either.

"Chakra is almost gone, but I should be able to use the Sharingan one more time." Uchiha Bān sat up from the ground, piling all the cans under the machine and pressing the red button.

"My cans!" Cat Fairy Xiao was shocked, jumping up to grab the cans, but Bān held her down.

"Let me go, Bān, you big jerk, I won't let this go." Cat Fairy Xiao watched helplessly as the mountain of cans disappeared, her claws extending from her paws, glaring fiercely at Bān.

"Anyway, these cans were at least what I won, and there are still so many snacks left, enough for you to eat." Bān was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I don't care about other things, but anything edible belongs to me." Cat Fairy Xiao slapped Bān's hand with her paw, speaking with a domineering air.

"..." Just as the human and the cat were in a tussle, an electronic voice sounded from the machine.

"Congratulations on obtaining the secret item 'Banana Leaf Fan.' Welcome to use it again!"

A flash of white light, and a green banana leaf appeared in front of the machine. Bān's Sharingan returned to normal eyes, but he didn't care about that. The Banana Leaf Fan sounded powerful. Picking up the leaf, he used the explanation mirror to shine on it.

【Banana Leaf Fan】

Item Description: Just fan this banana leaf fan, and any kind of wind can be produced. The wind force can be adjusted through the dial.

Item Evaluation: I am a handsome man like the wind.

"This item is good, but I need to train now, not fight. I won't be using it for a while." Uchiha Bān sighed, throwing the fan aside.

"Sniff, sniff..." Cat Fairy Xiao sat on the ground, sobbing softly.

"Didn't you tell me that the higher the total value of the items, the higher the value of the secret item that appears!" Bān looked at Cat Fairy Xiao speechlessly, seeing her despondent look, he said, "When I find other valuable items in the future, I won't use cans. If I can't find any, I'll use one can, and I won't touch any other food, okay!"

"You promise!" Cat Fairy Xiao got up from the ground, staring at Bān seriously, a stark contrast to her previous weeping.

"Uh-huh!" Bān nodded quickly, feeling that communicating with Cat Fairy Xiao was more difficult than fighting the Sage of Six Paths.

"Since that's the case, I'll forgive you this time." Cat Fairy Xiao said magnanimously.

"Xiao, put these things away! Eh, what's this?" Uchiha Bān was about to tell Cat Fairy Xiao to take out the folding house, but a small box at his feet caught his attention.

Picking it up, he found ten small bottles inside, each containing a different colored liquid, and a large syringe beside them.

"It's Plant Modification Liquid No. 1, a good thing." Cat Fairy Xiao, who had been picking up the items on the ground, saw the box in Bān's hand, her eyes shining as she said.

"I remember now, looks like we won't have to eat fish cans tonight." Bān said excitedly, after several days of fish cans, he wondered if he would turn into a cat if he kept eating them.

"Hmph! Humans wouldn't understand the deliciousness of fish cans." Cat Fairy Xiao glanced at Bān with dissatisfaction.

"Right, right! You're completely right. But let's hurry up and find a plant to inject the modification liquid into, I'm a bit hungry." Bān said with a smile, not arguing with Cat Fairy Xiao.

"Leave it to me." Cat Fairy Xiao ran out of the cave quickly.

Bān was surprised, picking up the Plant Modification Liquid No. 1, he came to the surface and found that the sky had darkened without him noticing. Just as he was about to look for Cat Fairy Xiao, he suddenly saw various plants growing on the ground in front of him, stretching as far as the eye could see, with towering trees and unknown flowers.

The empty space beside the rock was like a small forest, and the originally barren cave entrance was now covered with countless plants, vines climbing up the rock behind it.

"What's going on?" Bān looked up and saw Cat Fairy Xiao squatting on a rock, looking at him proudly.

"Didn't you know about the plant series you just drew?" Cat Fairy Xiao jumped off the rock and stood beside Bān, saying.

"Did I draw that?" Bān rubbed his chin, seemingly forgetting. He had been so focused on the secret items that he had ignored the rest, curiously asking, "Is the plant series also a secret item?"

"The plant series is not a secret item, it's a high-tech method for growing plants in the future, just like the Plant Modification Liquid. Its effect, as you can see." Cat Fairy Xiao explained.

"Indeed, for a moment, I thought it was Wood Release." Bān said with a smile.

"How can they be the same? The plant series is a tool for greening, while the Wood Release you mentioned is for... killing..." Cat Fairy Xiao, recalling the Wood Release she had seen on the screen before crossing over, loudly refuted Bān, but quickly covered her mouth, seeing Bān's silence, she apologized, "I'm sorry!"

"You're right, Wood Release is indeed a tool for killing. Not just Wood Release, even an ordinary knife has the power to kill. So, power itself has no good or bad, it's the person using it that matters. A kind person will use it to protect what they cherish, while an evil person will use it to do as they please, satisfying their own desires." Uchiha Bān said with a smile.

"What about you?" Cat Fairy Xiao asked in return.

"I don't know!" Uchiha Bān shook his head, not lying to Cat Fairy Xiao, because he belonged neither to justice nor to evil.

"Alright, let's hurry up and eat! We still need to build a house later." Cat Fairy Xiao was about to ask more, but Bān cut her off. He didn't want to discuss these deep topics anymore.
