In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Che calmly withdrew his gaze.

Look, in just a moment, the details are gone.

……

Uesugi Che collected his thoughts and let out a breath.

——Lilizi said she washed quickly, but according to his previous experience, it would take her at least five minutes to take a shower.

Five minutes may not be enough time to do other things, but it is definitely plenty of time to draw a card.

Open the card pool page, and the four big words [Edo Suburbs] pop up again.

It was drizzling, and the Edo city area and the monsters' card pool background first appeared suddenly, and then gradually faded away.

The Edo Castle card pool page was once again dominated by the black-haired Hyakumeki lolita, who was hugging her knees and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Beside the black-haired loli was a pile of treasures that seemed a little taller. The many treasures were shining brightly, making people unable to take their eyes off them.

Uesugi Tetsu's gaze didn't stay on the black-haired loli for even a second - he knew it was unnecessary to hold out hope for something that was impossible to pull out.

You can get the demon incarnation after twenty draws?

Uesugi Che would never dare to do this in his dreams.

He shook his head and used his mind to click on the word "Salvage Ten Times" which was wrapped in a deep, crystal clear blood-red shell.

1500 soul ashes were consumed like water.

In the card pool with Edo Castle as the background, the black-haired loli who was originally floating in the air with her knees hugged suddenly opened her eyes as if stimulated by some movement, and a cruel look shot out from her scarlet pupils.

She landed at the foot of the tall treasure mountain, frowning, with a look of discontent and anger surging on her porcelain doll-like face.

Ok?

Uesugi Tetsu remembers that it wasn’t like this during the last ten consecutive draws?

A brand new version of the card drawing animation?

The black-haired loli looked around, snorted coldly after finding nothing, and raised her little feet, which were still spotless white even if they stepped into the mud.

Then, without even looking, he turned around and kicked Baoshan with a roundhouse kick, kicking a large pile of debris towards Uesugi Tetsu.

After doing all this, the black-haired loli kicked the mud under her feet several times, and then her anger gradually subsided. She returned to the air and curled up into a small ball, hugged her knees and closed her eyes.

Ten items fell at the same time, a rare occurrence.

The prompts popped out at once—

[Soul-soothing Incense Ashes (Micro) × 2], [Soul-soothing Incense Ashes (Small) × 3], [Rikiri Talisman], [Soul-soothing Incense Ashes (Large) × 1], [Ashigaru's Spirit], [One Eye of the Hundred-Eyed Demon], [Ashigaru Armor].

Uesugi Tetsu first took a quick glance to confirm that there were no demon incarnations.

Then he looked at the ten items he had drawn again. Except for the [Hundred-Eyed Demon's Single Eye] that he had drawn again, he did not see any items that had impressed him before.

"How come I got so much junk? My luck is so bad... Could it be related to the change in the card drawing animation just now?"

Uesugi Che smacked his lips, thinking, does he have to ask the divine fortune-telling box to draw a card, pick an auspicious day and a good time?

He sighed and sorted the old-fashioned incense ash into different categories - although this thing polluted the card pool, it was also very necessary.

It not only upgrades the demon incarnation, but also helps with one's daily practice.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Tetsu looked at the [Soul-Restoring Incense Ashes (Small)].

My willpower has just increased by 15 points, so it shouldn't be a big problem to use this thing to replace the soul-resting incense ash (micro).

After deciding to use one portion when practicing with Ririko later, Uesugi Tetsu turned his attention to the remaining items.

First of all, it’s [Hundred Eyes Demon’s single eye].

Uesugi Tetsu read the introduction over and over again, then took out another one and found that the introductions of the two seemed to be carved from the same mold, with no difference at all.

He held the two eyeballs in his hands. Hmm, they were cool and smooth like jelly.

Generally speaking, items that can be drawn repeatedly from a card pool should be common and widely used consumables such as Requiem Incense Ashes or Spell Scrolls.

So the same should apply to the eyeballs of the Hundred-Eyed Demon, but it probably has to wait until the Hundred-Eyed Demon incarnation is extracted before it can be used.

Nowadays, it actually feels pretty good to use it as a walnut plate.

So, Uesugi Tetsu rolled his eyes and looked at other objects.

——[Ashigaru armor].

"Haha, can Ashigaru also wear armor? That would be invincible."

Uesugi Tetsu took out this so-called "armor".

As expected, this ashigaru armor only has the "torso" that protects the front and back, and the "kusarigaki" that hangs at the waist like a skirt, and a "jinkasa" that is no different from a thin iron sheet, which is also a helmet.

As for other places?

Sorry, no.

The ancient Japanese Ashigaru wore this kind of protective gear, or even worse, on the battlefield. Their life or death depended entirely on how accurate their opponent's attacks were.

Let’s look at its properties -

【Ashigaru Armor】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: Can defend against iron weapons' slashing and stabbing attacks to a certain extent, but that's all.]

[——Ordinary armor can be found everywhere. If you go to a battlefield that hasn't been cleaned up late at night and search for armor, you might be able to find hundreds of pieces in a single night.]

Uesugi Che couldn't help laughing.

This thing is sitting at the same table with the previous ronin or samurai Osode, and they are all destined to be taken away by Katsumi.

In addition to the Ashigaru armor, there is also an [Ashigaru Spirit].

Uesugi Che is familiar with the spirit spirit and has a good impression of it.

After all, the essence of Congyuanhuo and the essence of Qinggui had added a rare "blazing" effect to Kaga Kiyomitsu.

But now, looking at the gray glass ball in his hand, Uesugi Che was speechless.

【Ashigaru's Spirit】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: Directly inject spiritual power into the designated weapon item and use it to add a "very weak random gain attribute" to it.]

[——If the spirit of one of the countless foot soldiers were on the battlefield, perhaps he could find it by bending down in the mud beneath his feet.]

It seems that there is a gap between spirits.

Ashigaru is equivalent to the most insignificant soldier on the battlefield. Uesugi Tetsu estimated that its strength would not exceed one star, so the things that dropped from it are so common and ordinary.

This ashigaru spirit can only bring very weak enhancement properties. Uesugi Tetsu still wants to wait until he meets a blacksmith or a Zashiki-warashi again to see if he can turn waste into treasure.

So it’s not too late to use it later.

Uesugi Tetsu was about to close the card drawing panel and storage backpack helplessly, when he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not looked at an item.

He shifted his gaze to the inconspicuous yellow talisman, then his pupils shrank slightly and his whole body shook.

Oh my god, it’s shipped.

Good things are so inconspicuous!

【Hercules Talisman】

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: After using a small amount of spiritual power, it immediately summons 12 projections of Yellow Turban warriors in red caps and black armor, strong enough to lift a tripod and invulnerable to swords and spears. The projection lasts for one hour. It will be destroyed immediately after one use.]

【——Destroy the enemy's formation with force, like seeing the light of heaven breaking through the clouds!】

Epic props?!

Uesugi Che still remembered that he did not find this talisman when he clicked on the card pool before, and the highest quality of all the items that appeared in the card pool was only rare or rare+.

In other words, this Hercules Talisman is a hidden item in the card pool?

Uesugi Che remembered that the last time he drew cards, the black-haired loli carefully selected and took out the items one by one and put them away. But this time, she kicked the ten items over with a big kick without even looking at them.

Could it be that the card drawing animation really affects shipments?

Because all the card drawing animations that Uesugi Tetsu had seen before were normal, he had never drawn any items beyond the demon incarnations in the card pool.

"I didn't expect that..."

Carefully taking out the Hercules Talisman from the storage backpack, Uesugi Che pinched a corner of the cold yellow talisman and instantly felt the strong evil spirit coming from the talisman.

The evil energy rushed into Uesugi Che's body through his fingertips, making his blood hot.

It is indeed an epic item.

strong enough!

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the complicated spells on the talisman, and after trying hard to decipher them, he gave up. He just wrote down how to draw the cinnabar in case he needed it.

Wait, cinnabar?

Uesugi Che leaned in closer and sniffed, smelling a faint scent of blood from the talisman.

This talisman seemed to have been drawn with someone's own blood.

However, Uesugi Che, who was not proficient in drawing talismans, could not understand what the big difference was. He only needed to know how to inject spiritual power into it.

Just at this moment, the sound of the bathroom door opening was heard from upstairs.

Uesugi Tetsu put away the Rikishi talisman, stood up and found a good spot on the right side of the dojo that was not exposed to direct sunlight.

Then he took out the Samurai Zhan Ce Wan, which could not be put back after being taken out of the storage backpack, and threw it out.

thump!

Samurai Zangzemaru, whose body was completely black and whose eyes were tightly closed, landed on the floor of the dojo and swayed slightly.

A wonderful feeling suddenly emanated from its body, and then formed a connection with the word "Wu" in the dojo.

"Has the Samurai Zancemaru's training speed bonus talent been enhanced?"

Uesugi Che opened its panel and found a small "+" sign after the original "Dedicated Cultivation" talent.

This word is definitely not ordinary.

I don’t know who Nanjo-san asked to write it specially.

Uesugi Tetsu pondered for a moment and placed his hand on the surface of the Samurai Zansemaru - because of the latter's unique innate design, the contractor only needs to input some spiritual power into its body to complete the contract.

And it doesn't cost anything.

This design was truly ahead of the times in the Edo period... and even earlier, when a huge price was usually paid to contract a Shikigami.

In less than twenty seconds, Uesugi Tetsu felt that he had established a weak connection with the samurai Zhan Cemaru in front of him.

Although this connection is not as close as that with Nichi-sama, it is completely fine if it is only used for communication or to ensure loyalty.

——Although Uesugi Tetsu didn’t understand the point of keeping a Zancemaru loyal.

"Lord."

In the silence, the samurai Zhanzemaru slowly opened his eyes.

It leaned forward towards Uesugi Tetsu, which was considered a bow.

"Ah."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded at it and patted its head. "From now on, you will stay in this dojo as the guardian shikigami. With that crazy practitioner around, your days will definitely not be boring."

"A cultivation maniac?"

Curiosity flashed in the majestic eyes of the samurai Zancemaru.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't say anything, but stared at it for a long time. After confirming that the one in front of him was not the same Zancegan Maru that he had cut during the late Edo period, he felt a little regretful.

If I could take out the Samurai Zansakegan from the Slashing Trial, I would probably be able to understand many secrets of that era.

He took two steps back, glanced at the hanging plaque and the majestic Zhan Ce Wan, and thought that from now on this floor was indeed beginning to look like a dojo.

Less than two minutes later, Lilizi, with her hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a tight Taoist robe, came down the stairs.

This time she could finally walk normally and raise her hand to greet Uesugi Che: "Uesugi-kun, I'm here."
