In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Che stood there and waited patiently for the ellipsis to end, but he waited for two minutes and no reward prompt popped up.

Instead, there were new and strange prompts that he had never seen before.

[The end node of the first ring of the main mission has not yet arrived, please wait.]

This means that the rewards will be delayed.

This is not a big problem. After all, one month in the Warring States Period is only equal to one day in the modern world, so Uesugi Tetsu can definitely wait.

"The key point is, the rewards for this main quest don't seem to be cumulative, but are simply distributed?"

It seems that this is also the effect of using the Key of History to unlock the map.

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head, and then saw Shiraishi standing alone under a straw hut not far away.

He was rummaging in his pockets with his hands, looking hesitant, as if he was hesitating about something.

In fact, Uesugi Tetsu had already heard the footsteps of Shiraishi following behind him, but because Imagawa Yoshimoto was beside him, he didn't dare to turn around and say hello.

Uesugi Tetsu walked over to him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Uh-huh!"

Bai Shi, who was in the middle of an intense psychological struggle, was startled. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was. "Why is it you, Boss? You almost scared me to death."

Uesugi Che said, "Why? I'm the one who came here, but I can't?"

"It's not impossible..."

Bai Shi stuck out his tongue and took out the white cake from his pocket: "Here, Boss, I saw you didn't eat this before, so I saved a piece for you."

Although Bai Shi's words sounded nice, when it came to actually handing over the pastries, the little hand hesitated and stopped moving.

Obviously, he couldn't bear to do that.

Uesugi Tetsu was amused by his appearance: "It's just a snack, eat it if you want."

"no!"

Shiraishi shook his head firmly, closed his eyes tightly, and broke the snack into pieces with his hands as if he had made a great decision. He then handed half of the snack to Uesugi Tetsu.

"Boss! Take it now! I can't control myself anymore!"

Uesugi Che didn't refuse and just picked up the pastry and threw it into his mouth.

He chewed it twice and tasted a hint of sugar and honey, but nothing else.

The taste is just passable.

But for Shiraishi in front of him, this kind of cake is...

With tears in his eyes, he ate the remaining half of the cake bit by bit. Even though his mouth was already tired of the taste, he couldn't help but smile happily.

Uesugi Che glanced at Bai Shi's bulging belly and said, "Don't eat so much in the future. You'll have plenty to eat, and you won't be at risk of starving to death anymore."

After hearing this, Bai Shi's smile gradually faded. Even though he was already certain of what was going on, he still asked, "Boss, have you become that Imagawa's subordinate?"

Uesugi Tetsu: "About the same."

"Oh……"

Bai Shi responded somewhat listlessly.

He thought it was a good idea this way, because this way he wouldn't be kicked to death by other warriors like a wild dog.

Shiraishi accepted the result.

Because if he had to choose between life and dignity, he would choose to abandon the latter and embrace the former without hesitation.

For Shiraishi, this was an option that didn't even require any thought.

He's made that choice too many times.

Shiraishi muttered, "Boss, should I stop saying dirty words as I please in the future? Imagawa doesn't seem to like that kind of talk."

"She probably really doesn't like it. If you say too much, she might chop off your head." Uesugi Tetsu explained.

Bai Shi stopped talking.

After a pause, Uesugi Tetsu added, "But you just need to keep quiet in front of her. After all, you will be a samurai of the Imagawa family in the future, and she won't be so harsh as to care about things she can't see or hear."

"Oh! Boss, you're a fucking genius!"

Bai Shi just exclaimed, then froze for a moment as if realizing something: "Boss, what did you just say?"

"—She's not so harsh as to care about things that can't be seen or heard."

Bai Shi shook his head repeatedly: "No, the previous sentence."

"——Anyway, you will be considered a samurai of the Imagawa family from now on."

Uesugi Che spoke clearly, word by word, to the little kid in front of him.

So Bai Shi was stunned.

He opened his mouth in confusion, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

After a while, he patted his cheek and asked again: "Boss, what did you just say?"

Uesugi Tetsu repeated it over and over again without getting tired of it.

"Did you hear that?"

"Listen, I hear it clearly..."

Bai Shi still answered blankly. He shook his head violently and confirmed that this was not his hallucination.

"But how can a piece of trash like me, found anywhere, qualify to be a warrior?"

——It is an indisputable fact that Shiraishi hates samurai.

But he also understood that those guys who could be called warriors, even apart from the blood flowing in their bodies, were far stronger than scum like him who relied on various tricks to survive year after year.

For Bai Shi, these words were equivalent to giving him the qualifications to be a human being, so that he no longer had to walk with his head down and no longer had to regard himself as trash or scum.

——Shiraishi didn’t understand this.

He only knew that he had become the warrior he hated the most, and he actually felt happy about it...

Two extremely complicated emotions intertwined in Bai Shi's heart, causing a feeling of nausea to surge up his throat, making him unable to help but dry heave.

But the next moment he remembered that he had just eaten so many pastries.

If you spit it out, it will be a waste of food.

So Bai Shi forcibly suppressed the intense nausea and vomiting, gasping for breath, and after a long while, he said to Uesugi Tetsu in a daze,

"Boss, thank you..."

Uesugi Tetsu looked at him for a long moment, then shook his head without further questioning. "No thanks. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself for not really wanting to kill me in the beginning."

Bai Shi didn't reply. He just stared at his palm silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

After that, Uesugi Tetsu and Shiraishi lived a precious little daily life in Imagawakan.

The next day, Imagawa Yoshimoto said that he would first be given an annual salary of 500 kan, and told her frankly that if it was not enough, he could ask her for more.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't quite understand the purchasing power of 500 kan in the Warring States Period. He only knew that as soon as Shiraishi walked in, he pounced on a pile of copper coins and said, "I'm rich, I'm rich!"

At Uesugi Tetsu's request, a secluded and quiet room with a small courtyard was specially cleared out for him in Imagawa-kan.

However, Uesugi Tetsu later discovered that his room was not far from Imagawa Yoshimoto's residence. Even if he walked slowly, it would only take two or three minutes to get there.

Other than that, Uesugi Tetsu didn't have many requirements.

The day of the real sword test is coming soon, and he wants to take advantage of this peaceful time to integrate what he has learned, and at the same time explore the path of the state of mind and the hundred refinements.

He practiced spearmanship, corona breathing and natural rational flow in the yard almost every day, and would teach Bai Shiqijutsu during his rest time.

The latter did not disappoint his expectations at all and made rapid progress in the field of "imitating Qigong".

It's been less than half a month, and Bai Shi's Qigong technique has probably reached the proficient level.

You know, he totally didn't understand what Uesugi Tetsu said about the so-called mantra principle, and he just imitated Uesugi Tetsu's movements and breathing to achieve it.

There is one more inevitable thing.

Ever since the first time I saw Uesugi Tetsu wielding Kaga Kiyomizu in the yard and practicing the Natural Rishin Flow.

——Every morning or evening, Imagawa Yoshimoto would sit in the small pavilion next to Uesugi Tetsu's yard, watching him practice and train while dealing with the trivial government matters to be dealt with.

Imagawa Yoshimoto always watched with great interest and was generous in praising Uesugi Tetsu.

She would always say in surprise, "Che Jun can actually do this," "Che Jun can actually do that," and clapped her hands, which can be said to have maximized the emotional value.

But Uesugi Tetsu doesn't buy it.

Couldn't he see through this little trick?

Another morning.

Imagawa Yoshimoto was sitting upright in a small rocking chair made of rattan, waiting expectantly for Uesugi Tetsu to finish his meditation and stand up to swing his sword.

To her, Uesugi Tetsu's sword-wielding and training are always filled with a kind of beauty, a clean, pure and serious beauty.

——When he first saw Uesugi Tetsu draw his sword, Imagawa Yoshimoto still felt a strong sense of disdain in his heart.

After all, if shaking a fan can release lightning, what kind of sword skills can an Onmyoji who summons Shikigami use?

It's just a matter of fiddling with it a few times to make sure you can use it.

But she was wrong.

After seeing Uesugi Tetsu complete his training, Imagawa Yoshimoto was captured by him.

From then on, Imagawa Yoshimoto never missed a day.

"Che Jun's thirty-minute meditation...is almost up."

As soon as Imagawa Yoshimoto finished her thought, she saw Uesugi Toru, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard, suddenly open his eyes and look coldly in front of her.

Huh? Why is it early?

Imagawa Yoshimoto blinked and found a pitch-black figure in front of him.

After seeing who was coming, she immediately restrained her happy expression, straightened her body and spoke.

"Hanzo."

The man, wrapped in black cloth and known only as Hanzo, spoke hoarsely, "Master Imagawa, there may be an imminent uprising in the Mikawa region."

After saying that, he turned back and glanced at Uesugi Tetsu who was already walking towards this side.

"——It seems like a big demon is causing trouble in the dark."

As Hanzo finished speaking, Uesugi Tetsu felt that everything in front of him lost its color and suddenly stopped.

A prompt that hadn't appeared for a long time popped up.

[Rewards for the first round of main quests are being distributed...]

[You have obtained the Key of History: Second Ring (Special Item)!]

[You have obtained 1500 soul ash points! ]

[You have obtained the "Unknown Core Factory Map" (Super Epic Item)! ]

Chapter 147: S-level seeds gather, two shipping mechanisms of the card pool, changing history? (75k

The prompt appeared, and everything around turned into a dull gray in that instant.

Everything in the world, whether it was the wind and water, the sky and the earth, the half-kneeling man in black called Hanzo, or Imagawa Yoshimoto who was looking at him.

Except for Uesugi Tetsu, everything came to a standstill the moment the hint appeared.

It was as if Uesugi Tetsu was pulled out of this world.

Uesugi Tetsu wanted to turn his eyes away, but he found that except for his thoughts, his body was also unable to move.

Only the prompts in front of me continued to pop up——

【You have temporarily left the late Muromachi shogunate and the middle of the Warring States period. 】

【please confirm. 】
