The team did not seem as happy as I was however, as Claire muttered, "But so many died…"
I shook my head, replying, "This was a 15 men difficulty mission, of course there were going to be casualties. And there will be more in the future. But for now, we survived, and it is time for rest. I have things to tell you, but right now I need to sleep. Do not buy anything other than Human Creation while I am not here."
I didn't wait for their response, and turned to look at Sarah, who was within her own creations' arms, adding, "I'll leave the explaining to you?"
Sarah nodded tiredly, to which I smiled, before I headed for my house.
---
I slept like a baby, for an entire 12 hours. This was a lot, as with my enhanced stats, I required far less sleep than the normal person. This was probably the equivalent of sleeping for more than 24 hours for the normal person, if not more.
Walking out of my house with a yawn, I realized there wasn't anyone outside. Moreover, now that I wasn't dead tired, I noticed something I hadn't noticed yesterday. There was a golden tablet levitating behind God. I don't even know how I didn't notice it.
Since I was alone, I decided to approach it.
'When a team has broken at least three Genetic Constraints, a team becomes eligible to enter Team Fights, and encounter other Teams. Killing a member from another Team who hasn't unlocked their Genetic Constraint will reward 2000 Points. Killing a member who has unlocked the Genetic Constraint will reward increasing rewards, depending on the number of Genetic Constraints unlocked. Eliminating the entire enemy team rewards every member of your Team with a Rank C Reward.'
That certainly was quite the incentive to kill the other teams. There was also another bit of information.
'Every Team has a rating, which will not only decide which Team they will face, but also in which order the teams will enter the world. The weaker teams will enter earlier, and the stronger ones will enter last.'
And that was it. Moreover, we would soon get to test this new type of mission, as it was our next mission.
While I was reading this, it seemed my team had noticed me, as they got out of Sarah's house, and as they reached me, I said, "Well, we might as well get everything done. Follow me."
They said nothing as I started walking. Reaching God, I quickly looked for my prize, and confirmed my purchase.
[Chosen Force Sensitivity: Gain 25000 Midi-chlorians per cell. Costs Rank A Reward and 6000 Points. Requires High Force Sensitivity.]
I was excited to get this already, but I still kept in mind there was something beyond. Anakin Skywalker, as the Chosen One, was known to have the greatest potential in the Force, ever.
And I was about to get it.
[-6000 Points and Rank A Reward]
The moment the purchase was completed, the particles flew over from God to me, and this time there were so many of them that I seemingly turned into a miniature version of God as I was completely covered in them.
I couldn't see anything, nor could others see me. Still, as God worked on my cells, adding Midi-chlorians to them, I said, "With this mission, I received the position of Team Leader. And by that I mean that God officially appointed me as the Team Leader of our Team. You should have seen the Golden Tablet, right?"
Sarah was the one to reply for the group, "We did."
I nodded, although none of them could see it, and continued, "One of the benefits from becoming the Team Leader was that I have become capable of knowing where our next mission will send us."
Asher asked with a serious tone, "Where will it be?"
"The Boys. And it will be a Team Fight, meaning we will encounter another Team."
Everything turned silent as they processed what they were told. I left them some time, before I resumed my explanations of my new powers as the Team Leader.
By the time I finished my explanation, God also finished his transformation of my body as the particles disappeared, and I landed back on the ground.
I felt… different. Something important to note about Midi-chlorian count in one's cell is that the increase in potential and power doesn't move up proportionally. Someone with 20000 Midi-chlorian wasn't twice as talented as someone with 10000.
And in the same way, the difference between High Force Sensitivity and Chosen Force Sensitivity wasn't merely 25%, although it went from 20000 to 25000.
To put things in perspective, Anakin joined the Jedi Order when he was 9 years old, and by the time of Revenge of the Sith, 13 years have passed. And by then, Anakin is said to have reached the heights of Yoda and Darth Sidious in raw power in the force. The two were the best masters of the Light and Dark Side of the Force in their era, and all it took Anakin to reach their level from zero was 13 years.
Moreover, Anakin never reached his full potential, be it in power or in training. He trained in the Jedi Ways, where emotions were to be ruled in and temperance was the greatest virtue. But Anakin not only was arrogant because of his own talent, he also was plagued with traumas of the past. Moreover, he also wasn't very hard working. Finally, he joined the Order when he was 9, which was years older than any other Jedi.
And yet, despite all these circumstances that would have made anyone else into a mediocre Jedi even with decades of training, Anakin reached the peak of the galaxy in 13 years.
That's how big the difference between 20000 and 25000 Midi-chlorians was.
Even now, I could feel it. I had grown much closer to the Force, and any Force Abilities would be much easier to use, and learning new ones wouldn't be hard.
And unlike Anakin, I wasn't torn between the Light and the Dark Side. I would use this enhancement to its full potential, reaching power Anakin could never have.
After all, the reason Force Masters, be it Jedi or Sith, did not grow infinitely stronger, was because of the weakness of their physical bodies. I did not have that problem.
Meanwhile, as they digested the information I had given them, Johnathan asked, "What about Chris?"
I looked at Jonathan, and shook my head, "I tried to stop him, but he insisted on coming. He ended up dying to Konoha's Root."
As I said that, I turned to look at Claire, the teammate I had the least seen, and asked, "Did you accompany Mifune to the battlefield?"
Claire showed a wry face as she replied, "No, I stayed in the Land of Iron. I was tired from running all the way, and I figured I wouldn't be of much use anyway."
I nodded, as she was right.
Rolling my shoulders, I pointed at God and said, "Before we deal with your enhancements, a rule. No use of the Return without asking for it. And don't try to sneak it, because once someone or a group returns to a world, no one will be able to return after them before the next mission."
They nodded, and I added, "Good. So, those enhancements?"
So everyone can see it, the reason I decided to make a change in last chapter with leadership level was because I did not think it made much sense. In the original novel when someone becomes a Team leader they earn one level of Genetic Constraint. In the novel, it went fine becasue Zheng unlocks the Third Genetic Constraint, which is basically useless, so this doesn't throw everything off, but since I changed the Third Constraint, it would be too big of a boost.
Besides, God's Game was created to send people through life and death situations, and only allow those capable of evolving and opening their Genetic Constraint to live. Simply giving one for free felt cheap, and counter productive.

3000 Points and a Rank C Reward were quite the sum, and allowed them to exchange for quite the rewards.
My ability to see compatibility between powers also helped them choose as they all bought their enhancements.
To start off, my oldest teammate still alive, Johnathan.
[Ancient Magic: Grants you affinity to Ancient Magic from Hogwarts Legacy. Costs Rank C Reward and 2800 Points. Requires Wizard Mutation.]
This wasn't too bad of an upgrade, especially since it had a good compatibility with many other rewards. And having played the game myself, if trained well enough this could lead to some interesting powers, and he would definitely become a strong ally. Especially with how fast the game character rose in power, although I doubted he would be this fast in real life.
Next was Sarah, who went for Skyrim's power system. With the Dragonborn upgrade costing a Rank A Reward and 10000 Points, I expected her to start another path while she gathered what she needed for the Dragonborn enhancement, I even showed her a few compatible enhancements, but she took something that surprised me, as I didn't even know about it.
[Nede Bloodline: Grants you the bloodline of a Nede, which allows you to use the power of the Stars. Costs Rank C Reward and 2200 Points. Requires Breton Bloodline.]
I didn't even know about the Nedes, but Sarah had found them after some research. Apparently, they are the ancestors of the Bretons, and lived during the First Era. One of their most famous members was Saint Alessia, one of the most badass women in Tamriel history as she led enslaved humans to rebel against the Ayleids, who were High Elves, and created an Empire. The First Empire of Cyrodiil, actually.
After her death, she was canonized by Akatosh himself, and became the patron saint of humanity.
So yeah, that was a cool race, and I was curious to see what she would be able to do with that.
In comparison, Erik simply followed the path he had set out on, and bought Intermediate Level Qi.
As for our three newbies, both Asher and Claire bought something I recommended to them both, and which I considered to be one of the best enhancement of its level because of its compatibility with nearly everything else.
[Super Soldier Physique: Transforms the user into a perfect human being. Rank C Rewards and 2500 Points.]
That's right, they both got the Super Soldier Physique, just like me. And why wouldn't they, it not only was compatible with nearly everything, it also granted great power, and improved one's potential in nearly everything.
I, for sure, wouldn't have made as much progress with the Force without the Super Soldier Physique.
Finally, for Jordan, he also took something I found to be good. He took Genin Level Chakra. It only cost him a Rank D Reward and 300 Points.
Chakra moved all the way up to Rank A, and was a good choice by itself. However, it was the fact that we had access to Naruto's world that really made this choice shine to me. I had actually considered taking this as a secondary path myself.
The reason for that, is that even with a Genin Level Chakra, one could potentially reach God level in Naruto, if they somehow managed to get the Ten Tails.
Moreover, even without that, even if Jordan didn't buy the higher version of Chakra, he could make it grow by himself, and reach Jonin or even Kage level with training only. Hell, he could even go and get tailed beasts.
Actually, out of the entire group, I expected the most out of him, because he was going to have the most time in our incoming training session.
Everyone had received new abilities, but except for Claire and Asher, we needed time to get used to them. That's why they are going to use all the Points they have left to buy time in Naruto, and train their skills in there.
That would be for everyone, except for Asher. She was already good enough in fighting, and while I would have liked for her to get used to the unlocked mode, she also said she would be much more efficient with a sniper.
So she used her remaining 500 Points to buy a Barrett M82, not the infinite version as she didn't have enough Points, but she bought enough ammo to practice with it and for our next movie.
Considering the worth of a sniper in a team fight, I would have actually bought her the Infinite Barrett M82 50 Cal, as it was worth 1000 Points. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford it.
After my own purchase, I was left with 5035 Points. And I would use nearly all of them.
Despite being the strongest in my team, I ironically also was the one who would use this training time the best.
But more importantly, I had an objective in mind.
We had arrived in Naruto on the 1st of July within their world, and left on the 7th. Well, technically, we left on the 8th at 00h00.
But more importantly, after some research on Naruto's world timeline, I discovered that we had arrived slightly more than a year from Naruto's birth.
489 days away from his birth, actually.
And his birth, or rather the attack on Konoha that came with it, happens to be exactly what I was aiming for.
In Skyrim, completing the Bleak Falls Barrow dungeon had rewarded me with the Fists of Randagulf, an item I intended on using for quite a while.
So taking part in the attack on Konoha and changing its outcome… that should give me quite the reward.
But even without that, helping Konoha with their crisis would make me friends with the most powerful village in the world, and potentially grant me access to Jutsus that could turn out to be very useful. For example, having Jordan master the Flying Thunder God Technique would definitely be a huge help in any mission.
And if I wanted to get to that night, starting from the 8th I would need to buy 22 days to finish June. Then, 62 days to go through July and August, another 30 for September, and 10 to get to the 10th of October. That was 124 Days.
According to the timeline though, Naruto was born the year after, so I got to add 365 days to that, and so that makes for a total of 489 days. And at the rate of 10 Points per day, that was 4890 Points.
So if I wanted to get to Naruto's Birthday, and the release of Kyuubi on Konoha, I would only be left with 145 Points, which was far from enough to buy her gun.
Besides, even if I had more Points, I would have kept them. Only if I had 6000 Points or more after the training in Naruto would I afford her the gun.
That's because if I had more Points, I would only buy enough days to be sent back to God's dimension the day after Naruto's birth, to get healed.
After all, Kyuubi's attack was quite the devastating attack, and I didn't know in which state I would be in after the attack. So the best situation would be to have 5000 Points left for eventual healing.
Unfortunately, I didn't have that many Points.
And since I doubted 145 Points would heal much, I decided I might as well use all my Points in paying days in Naruto. Like this, even if I get out of the fight in a bad shape, I would still have fourteen days to recover with medical ninjas.
That's why I decided to spend 5030 Points to buy myself 503 days worth of time within the world of Naruto, and I used the remaining 5 Points to buy precious gems, so I would have money within this world.
