I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 1047 Meeting between Travelers [4400]

Qing Deng was stunned.

Literally stunned.

His eyes widened to their limit, his mouth agape, and he looked at Ogata in daze and disbelief.

At that moment, he felt cold sweat pouring down his back like a waterfall, wetting his clothes.

The mother tongue that he had never heard since he traveled through time, the word "plug-in" that only modern people understand... the huge amount of information almost made his brain crash.

In this mess, the first thought that came to his mind was "Why?"

However, this "why" quickly disappeared.

Because it's not hard to understand.

Ogata's words and actions have already revealed the answer.

It’s just that Qingdeng’s rationality and sensibility have not yet caught up with reality, and he is unable to accept this fact for the time being.

After a brief moment of shock, he swallowed hard, then asked cautiously in stiff Chinese, which was much more fluent than Ogata's:
"...Mr. Ogata, you too?"

Ogata raised his eyebrows:

"Great, we're from the same hometown. I'd be embarrassed if you spoke a language I couldn't understand."

He said and waved his hand, signaling Qing Deng to calm down.

Qing Deng also wanted to calm down, but how could he calm down immediately after hearing such a shocking fact?

Ogata Ittosai was a time traveler who had come to this world just like him… Qing Deng couldn’t help but take a breath, his heart beating violently due to his agitated emotions, hitting his sternum and chest muscles hard.

Ogata has been observing Qing Deng's changes in expression.

Looking at Qing Deng's messy expression, he couldn't help but smile:
"'Odds change, evens don't.'"

Qing Deng was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter as if he was amused.

"'Symbols look at the quadrants'."

"Great, the code has been connected."

"Luckily you didn't say 'Palace Jade Wine'. I don't understand this joke at all. I wasn't even born when this joke came out."

"What a coincidence! I don't understand this either. I don't even know if this is an advertisement slogan or a classic line from a movie."

"Mr. Ogata, what was the era before you traveled through time?"

“Early October 2020.”

"We traveled through time at very similar times. I traveled more than two years later than you. I traveled through time in mid-April 2022."

……

……

When the fellow sees the fellow, tears well up.

Qing Deng never expected that after traveling to this world, he would have the opportunity to meet and chat with his "fellow villagers"!

As both of them are time travelers, Qing Deng feels much closer to Ogata.

A time traveler from the 21st century, living two lives, and having a gifted system in his body - all of the above are Qing Deng's biggest secrets.

He could not share it even with his closest and most trusted wives.

Even if he shared it with them, they would not be able to understand it. They would just think he was having sleep hysteria and talking nonsense.

And now, he had a partner with whom he could share these secrets... Qing Deng felt a different kind of joy rising in his chest!
He seemed to be venting his feelings by pouring out topics that he normally couldn't talk about - his age in his previous life, his occupation in his previous life.

The same is true for Ogata. Judging from his happy expression, he is also happy to be able to talk about these topics with outsiders.

The two chatted freely without any scruples, and the atmosphere at the scene became much more relaxed.

In a short while, Qing Deng's heartbeat gradually calmed down and his emotions became stable again, no longer as chaotic as before.

"Jujun, I didn't expect you to be so surprised. Haven't you ever thought that I'm a time traveler?"

Qing Deng couldn't help but laugh awkwardly when he heard that.

In fact, when he first heard about the deeds of the "Eternal Sword Saint" Ogata Issey and the "Hidden Sword Saint" Kinoshita Genichi, he suspected that these two were time travelers.

The deeds of these two gentlemen are more exaggerated than each other! They don’t look like “indigenous people” at all!
Although he felt doubtful, Qing Deng quickly put the matter behind him.

Firstly, he was very busy at the time and had no time to verify these trivial matters.

Secondly, he really didn't expect that there would be more than one traveler in this time and space...!
Will there be more time travelers coming in the future?

Qing Deng took a deep breath and asked:

"Mr. Ogata, could it be that even the 'Hidden Sword Saint' Kinoshita Genichi is a time traveler?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the tombstone of Genichi Kinoshita not far away.

Ogata shook his head slightly:
"No, he is not. He is a genuine 'native'. He has earned the title of 'Sword Saint' entirely through his own talent and hard work. So I admire him very much. He is a true 'Sword Saint'."

After hearing this, Qing Deng couldn't help but stand in awe and cast an admiring look at Kinoshita Genichi's tombstone.

"Mr. Ogata, when did you find out that I was a time traveler?"

Ogata chuckled a few times:

"I discovered it when you first became famous."

"Although I don't know much about Japanese history, my intuition tells me that you must be a time traveler."

"In just a few years, he was promoted from a retainer of the Baigoku family to the actual ruler of the Edo shogunate... Is this reasonable?"

That embarrassed smile appeared on Qingdeng's face again.

Judging from the outrageousness of his personal deeds, he is even worse than Ogata!

In this case, it is not surprising that Ogata recognized Qing Deng as a time traveler.

At this time, Ogata tilted his head and looked Qing Deng up and down with interest.

"Jujun, you must have a cheat, right? If it's convenient, can you tell me what your cheat is? I'm very curious."

Even the identity of the "time traveler" has been revealed. At this point, there is nothing to hide about the cheats in the body.

"'Talent system'. When the battle lasts for more than 10 seconds, you can copy the opponent's talent. Each person can only copy once, and the same talent can be stacked and upgraded."

"Hey, your cheats are outrageous. As long as you continue to accumulate talents, won't you be able to grow into an almighty person who can do everything and knows everything in time?"

"In theory, that's true. Mr. Ogata, what is your cheat?"

"As long as you kill the opponent, you can gain experience points. After the level is increased, you can increase the physical strength and skills to upgrade the 'point system'."

"Hey, your cheat is outrageous, isn't it?"

Qing Deng twitched his lips and refuted it unhappily.

Compared with his "Talent System", Ogata's "Point Addition System" is much simpler and more brutal!
The entire system is designed around “rapidly enhancing combat power”; it’s simply a “combat power-enhancing plug-in”!
As long as it is used properly, it only takes 1 or 2 months to transform from a weakling into a strong man!
Thinking back to the days when he had been practicing swordsmanship with great difficulty, even though he had a swordsmanship talent that was hundreds of times better than that of ordinary people, he still had to slowly hone his skills and accumulate experience... Qing Deng's mouth twitched again.

Ogata spread his hands.

"That's all. My 'point-adding system' can only be used to improve my personal combat power, so I have no other skills besides killing people."

"You are different. You have so many talents. Even if you are not a swordsman, you can still thrive in other industries."

Qing Deng did not refute Ogata's comments.

If we consider the "comprehensiveness", Qing Deng's "talent system" is indeed better. If Ogata's "point addition system" is a "big early plug-in" that can gain a huge advantage in the early stage, then his "talent system" is a "big late plug-in" that becomes stronger as time goes by.

As long as he lives long enough, has enough talent, and works hard enough, he will sooner or later become a genuine "bucket number"!
"Mr. Ogata, let me ask you one more question. How much experience did you gain after defeating me?"

"3000 point."

"3000...is this a lot or a little?"

Ogata smiled:

“In terms of numbers, it’s a lot.”

"According to the rules of my system, the experience points gained from defeating an opponent are relatively small, while the experience points gained from killing an opponent are relatively large."

"The experience points gained from defeating ordinary warriors are only 3 or 40 points at most."

"Just by defeating you, I can gain 3000 experience points. This is already an inflated number."

"However, for me now, I have to defeat you at least 100 times before I can reach the next level."

Qing Deng was stunned:
"It takes 300000 experience points to level up again... How high is your level?"

Ogata waved his hand and acted calmly:
"I no longer care about rank."

"Based on my current martial arts realm, level and so on are meaningless."

"Not to mention the mere first level, even if I were to level up to ten and gain 10 skill points in one go, it wouldn't significantly improve my current strength."

At this point, Ogata paused and asked:
"What about you? After defeating me, what talent did you gain? I'm very curious. According to your system's judgment, what kind of talent do I have?"

Ogata's words reminded Qing Deng.

After the duel, he was so busy eating lunch and talking with Ogata that he didn't even have time to check out his newly acquired talent.

He didn't even hear the talent introduction clearly just now, he just remembered copying the "eternal talent" from Ogata.

He immediately opened the system interface to check the new talent he had just acquired.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, he was stunned and so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

After a moment, he slowly recovered and began to introduce himself to Ogata:
"The chosen one of 'eternal talent'."

He briefly introduced the "eternal talent" and the specific abilities of the "chosen one".

After hearing this, Ogata couldn't help but look surprised:

"I am the only one in the world who has this unique talent... I am truly honored."

"I thought you wouldn't copy talents from me."

"After all, before traveling to this world and obtaining this 'point-adding system', 'Ogata Yisei' was just an ordinary country warrior."

At this moment, although Qing Deng tried hard to suppress his ecstasy, his eyes involuntarily swept to the entry of "The Chosen One" in the talent list.

As expected of a senior “time traveler”, his talent is truly impressive!

Greatly increase the physical limit and remove the talent limit... This should be the most powerful talent he has copied so far!
Removing the talent cap is equivalent to directly updating his "Talent System"! The talent cap is no longer "+9", but has no upper limit!

Although the statement "greatly increases the upper limit of physical fitness" seems vague, considering Ogata's extremely abnormal physical strength, this "great" increase will definitely not be small!

In recent days, he has clearly felt that his physical strength is approaching its limit. Even with the talents of "+7" and "+9", it is difficult for him to make any further progress in strength and speed.

And now, this trouble has been solved!

He can happily exercise his muscles and physical strength again!

While Qing Deng was immersed in joy, Ogata's sigh suddenly brought him back to reality.

"Ju-kun, I thought the talents specified by your 'Talent System' were the kind of talents that one naturally possesses from the moment one is born."

"For example, Yao Ming's height talent and Bolt's sprinting talent."

"It seems that's not entirely true."

"In addition to 'innate talent', there is also 'acquired talent'."

"It was only after I absorbed the 'Power of Immortality' that I broke through the limits of my body, and the restrictions of the system were also lifted. 'The Chosen One' was probably derived from this characteristic of mine."

"Since 'acquired talent' exists, the scope of your cheats is wider than I expected."

Qing Deng listened while lowering his eyelids thoughtfully.

For some reason, he suddenly recalled what Ogata had just said:
(Some people are born with a strong affinity with the 'world' - Ju Jun, you belong to this category)

(Maybe this is your talent)
——'Acquired talent'...

He lowered his head unconsciously, looking straight at the palm of his right hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this time, Ogata cleared his throat and stretched out his tongue with great effort:

"Oh, I haven't spoken Chinese for a long time. I feel rusty now. I don't know how to pronounce many words."

Qing Deng came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze from his right palm, smiled bitterly and nodded, expressing his agreement with his actions.

"Same here, I'm a stranger to you too."

Suddenly, Qing Deng remembered something, paused for a moment, and then asked directly:

"Mr. Ogata, since you discovered that I was a time traveler a long time ago, why... didn't you come and 'recognize' me earlier?"

Ogata smiled and shrugged.

"On the one hand, I don't want to disturb you."

"On the other hand...I don't want my current peaceful life to be affected."

"I have lived for nearly a hundred years, married the most beautiful woman in the world, encountered the most difficult enemies, witnessed the ugliest crimes, and experienced the most heartbreaking emotional entanglements..."

"To be frank, no one in this world is more qualified to say 'I have seen all kinds of storms and waves' than me."

"Perhaps because the first half of my life was too exciting and full of ups and downs, my threshold has been greatly raised. Now I am particularly fond of a peaceful life."

"Although my life is very dull now, I have to knead dough as soon as I open my eyes every day and run around in the store, but I don't hate such a quiet life."

"You are the 'Nio' who is widely loved and hated. Once you are involved, it is no wonder that I encounter any kind of misfortune."

"Therefore, I deliberately keep my distance from you. You live your life and I live mine, and we try our best not to let our life trajectories intersect."

After Ogata finished speaking, Qing Deng pursed his lips and then slowly spoke:
"That being said, you not only rescued Xiao Si, but also specially gave me guidance today...Excuse me, are you considering me as your 'junior'?"

Ogata chuckled a few times:

"I don't deny that I am taking care of my 'younger generation'. However, the main reason... is still out of curiosity."

Qing Deng looked puzzled:

"curiosity?"

Ogata changed his tone to a quiet one:
"I rescued Souji because of Jiulang's sake."

"And I'm personally guiding you because I want to see with my own eyes how far you can develop."

"With Genichi dead and Kuro old, it's been a long time since a swordsman has appeared in this world that I can look at in a different light."

"So... I really want to see how far you can go."

"Will you become the next Genichi or Kuro? Or...will you surpass me?"

After saying that, Ogata cast a meaningful look towards Qing Deng - a look that flashed with fighting spirit!
