In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Rather than rewarding something that doesn't matter whether it exists or not, it's better to look at the growth of proficiency—

[You have completely mastered the basic spear style, mastery level!]

[Your skill, Natural Rational Flow proficiency +188! ]

[Your skill, Coronal Breathing proficiency +592! ]

[Your skill, Five Thunder Method: Qi Combination Proficiency +481!]

Among the three skills, the natural reason flow has grown the least, while the Five Thunder Method: Qi He has almost reached the critical point for upgrading.

——Because Uesugi Tetsu’s main purpose was to hone his spearmanship with Suzuki, he would only draw out Kaga Kiyomizu when he had no other choice.

As for the latter two, they can be trained by breathing, and they naturally increased significantly after going through a bloody battle.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Che turned over his palm and suddenly found that his injuries were not brought back with him.

This is a good thing, as it saves time recovering from injuries.

In that case, why not just open the new map first?

"Enter."

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was about to feel the water pressure from his old acquaintance, a bright white prompt suddenly popped up in front of him.

[——Should we use the "Key of History"?]

Uesugi Che was stunned for a moment, looking at everything around him that had turned deep blue, and realized that he had arrived in the boundless deep sea between the present world and the ordinary world.

According to common sense, he should open a new map probably related to the Warring States Period after feeling a wave of water pressure, and then go to formally light up the shrine.

But now the key to history in the backpack is stuck here.

Uesugi Che opened the storage backpack with his mind and found that the key to history inside was shining with a bright white glow, with the words "Use me quickly" clearly written on it.

Want to use it?

Uesugi Tetsu smiled.

——Is there any need to hesitate?

——He wanted to use it before but couldn’t find the opportunity!

This is a mythical item that was personally handed to him by Huo Jinshen, the great patron of the Walking Camp. It was even said that it was ordered by the former Lord of the Eternal World.

What's more, the walking clock in his backpack was crying out for help, waiting to be unlocked.

If you miss this opportunity, you might never find this store again!

[You have used the special item, the Key of History!]

【Attention! Unlocking of the current area has stopped! 】

After the two prompts, the Key of History in the storage backpack suddenly burst into endless dazzling white light, blocking Uesugi Che's vision and preventing him from seeing the last prompt.

[You are entering the era designated by this historical key: the middle of the Warring States period!]

At this moment, a feeling a thousand times more dizzy than the so-called "blackness" enveloped Uesugi Che tightly.

Without leaving any room for maneuver, his self-consciousness fell into a deep coma.

……

When Uesugi Tetsu regained consciousness, the damp, rich smell of thatch rushed into his nostrils, making him smell the homely scent that made him feel at home.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Uesugi Tetsu was just about to reach out and rub his half-closed eyes when he found himself tied up with tattered straw ropes to an equally damp wooden pillar.

Even the fingers were not spared, which shows that the binder was very careful.

But Uesugi Tetsu raised his eyebrows, and with a little force he felt the straw rope was about to make a mournful cry under the weight.

What's the situation?

This demon looks down on me so much?

Just when he was feeling puzzled, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the thatched hut.

Chapter 137: Movable Shrine, Please Let Me Recognize You as My Boss! (56k)

The footsteps were very light and slow, as if a lighter person was walking on tiptoe. If it weren't for the quiet surroundings, even Uesugi Che might not have noticed it.

He listened for a while and found that the footsteps had always been in this house...

No, after observing for a while, Uesugi Tetsu realized that this place should be called a warehouse to be precise - and the footsteps had been lingering around the warehouse, with no intention of coming in immediately.

He was a little puzzled.

There is no other footsteps or breathing sounds around. What is that guy outside doing? Is he entertaining himself?

In short, Uesugi Tetsu, who was tied up with this fragile straw rope, was not very worried about his current situation.

Instead, he had to carefully control the strength so as not to accidentally break the rope and lose the events that might be triggered by the current opening.

"Let's clear the red dots first."

Uesugi Tetsu used his mind to move the prompt line in front of his eyes, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

[Your special item, the walking clock, has been activated! ]

【Walking Clock (Special Item)】

[Effect: Accurately measure the impact of the act of walking in the world itself on history. Current impact: 0%.]

[——Respected Changshi Xingzhe, please maximize your influence on history and leave your mark on history.]

[Warning: Do not expose any information directly related to "walking" or "future" to avoid any unknown consequences.]

How much influence did it have on history…?

Uesugi Tetsu frowned slightly in confusion and looked at the area tasks below.

[Currently unlocked area: Modern World - Warring States Period (three stars)]

[The first ring of the current main mission, the admission ticket, has been unlocked.]

[Ticket: Choose to join any daimyo's army, or choose to start your own.]

[Task time limit: None]

[Note: If this task is delayed for too long and not completed, subsequent tasks may be skipped directly.]

A main quest guide that was completely different from the three maps unlocked previously popped up, leaving Uesugi Che silent for a moment.

Looking at the mission introduction and the panel of the walking clock, it seems that after using the key of history, I have entered the real Warring States period in the past history.

Rather than entering a region related to the "Warring States Period" in the ordinary world.

"But how is this possible..."

Uesugi Tetsu first muttered subconsciously.

Then he remembered Okita Souji, whom he last met in Fishing Master, and the street scenes and crowds he saw in the Zancemaru Trial that were no different from the real Edo period.

It seems that time travel is not impossible.

What's more, this "Key to History" is a mythical item handed to him by the God of Huojin himself.

If you think about it this way, things seem to make sense.

They come, the security.

Uesugi Che put aside his unnecessary guesses for the time being, carefully felt the concentration of the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and then was stunned.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the Warring States period was too thin.

Not to mention comparing it with the current ordinary world, it can't even be compared with the world before the wave came - to be more precise, the concentration of spiritual energy in the previous world is less than one tenth.

"No wonder there weren't any particularly famous ghost stories or monsters during the Warring States Period. I feel like that's the reason."

Uesugi Tetsu recalled the Oda army he had seen in the historical projection, which did not even have a three-star general, and he suddenly understood.

Generally speaking, changes in the concentration of spiritual energy cannot affect the speed at which people practice breathing techniques.

But if it is too low - this is when we have to bring out the sea level theory that Nanjo Aimi mentioned before.

If the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth is too low, the "sea level" will correspondingly drop, becoming the upper limit of this world.

I think "Three Stars" should be the restrictive pass between heaven and earth today. The closer you are to this pass, the slower your cultivation speed will be, and it will be even more difficult to cross this pass.

Uesugi Che blinked. With a strength of about three stars, doesn’t that mean he is already a great master in the chaotic Warring States period?

However, if you follow the main mission, you may not just be fighting one-on-one, but hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.

So it’s better to keep a low profile - Uesugi Tetsu, who was drowned by the sea of ​​chi, doesn’t want to experience this kind of death again.

Gua ...

The hoarse sound of the door opening drew Uesugi Che's attention back.

He immediately looked towards the door with an expressionless face, and then saw a child with messy hair, pale face and thin body, wearing a coarse cloth jacket and a pair of rotten straw sandals on his feet walking in.

The child's eyes lit up when he saw him wake up, and he ran over impatiently.

Is this a child?

Uesugi Tetsu was a little unsure about the age of the other person who was a little over 1.3 meters tall - because people of that era were probably that short, and many of the foot soldiers in the Oda army were of this height.

And the other person's face was sunken because of hunger.

Even though Uesugi Che had good eyesight, he couldn't tell the age of a short skeleton soldier from the Warring States Period at a glance.

Uesugi Che, who didn't have much information, didn't say anything, but quietly looked at the child with a gloating expression, and after humming twice, he sat in front of him.

Then, he muttered a lot to him.

Uesugi Tetsu:?

The child was also stunned when he saw the confused look on his face, and then changed to another gibberish language and repeated what he had just said.

Uesugi Che still didn't understand what he was saying.

After repeating this seven or eight times, the child, who was proficient in so many languages but still couldn't communicate successfully, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He slapped his thigh suddenly, pulled out a short knife with a cold glow from his waist, and put it against Uesugi Che's neck, revealing a ferocious look.

Wow, this knife is real.

When Uesugi Tetsu saw the knife, his gaze moved to the child's waist - in addition to the short knife, there were also two kunai and some strange things that he could not recognize.

Ninja?

It turns out that I was tied here by a ninja.

But he had just arrived and was most likely asleep in the wild or in the forest before. Why would this little ninja choose to go to the trouble of tying him up?

Uesugi Tetsu looked up and down at the slender little ninja, and he guessed that he didn't know how much effort it took for him to drag himself over.

In that case, doesn't that mean he should be grateful to the other party for not leaving him out in the wind and sun?

The little ninja stared at Uesugi Tetsu for a long time without any expression change, and then discovered a fact.

——That is, the guy in front of him didn’t take himself or the dagger at his neck seriously at all!

damn it!

It was with great difficulty that I dragged this fair and tender warrior master back from the road outside.

Not only was there a language barrier, but the other party was also suspected of having practiced the legendary "breathing method" - otherwise, how could anyone not be afraid of a knife held to their neck!

"Dead ball, this is a huge loss... How about just pawning this thing and leaving?"

The little ninja murmured softly, touching the bone key with a lining as smooth as jade, accidentally revealing a corner of it.

A prompt immediately popped up in front of Uesugi Tetsu's eyes.

Key to History: Shrine

[Effect: Equivalent to a normal shrine, but can be easily moved.]

[——Please give it to someone you trust, otherwise…]

Has the key to history become a shrine?

Seeing the familiar noun, Uesugi Tetsu didn't think much about it and subconsciously wanted to reach out and light up the shrine, but he forgot that he was still "firmly" trapped on the pillar.
