Chapter 444 Time jade pendant, new functions of the simulator
The matter in Wenshui County has become a foregone conclusion.
The Kitamura family fell, and the Minos family became the dominant orc force.
The shogunate quickly discovered this phenomenon, and just a few days later, he ordered Takeda Ryoko to return to Heiankyo to report on his duties. However, he secretly talked to her and explained the distribution of resources to support the local Sakura family.
And she also kept her promise and chose the Kawashima family as the next "Kitamura family".
Since then, Takeda Ryoko's situation in Wenshui County has been completely reversed, from a clown county chief who was ignored to a powerful county head who sticks to his word.
Every family has to fawn over the county head who has the power to allocate resources.
Because of this, Takeda Ryoko will definitely be able to gain her great-grandfather's approval in this three-month assessment and get back her things.
In the following time, Li Guanqi wandered around the Sakura Shogunate for more than ten days. In the end, he didn't even trigger a single task, and he didn't encounter anything worth mentioning.
Finally, he returned to Wenshui County again in the days at the end of January, waiting for the final assessment results to appear.
Early next month.
New Era 4872, February 1.
Today is the first day Takeda Ryoko ends her March assessment.
Likewise, it is also the first day of the twelfth month of Li Guanqi's fifth trip to the strange world.
At the end of this month, he will return to the real world.
And his long-cherished wish to get the simulator charging items before returning to reality also came to fruition.
Takeda Ryoko's March assessment was rated as a lower than first grade within the family. Although it was not a perfect upper grade, it was still a good evaluation.
The most important thing is that the evaluation of Grade A has already reached the standards of her great-grandfather.
Because of this, all of Takeda Ryoko’s space storage devices were sent over by her great-grandfather—including Wang Xiu’s relics!
So, are the simulator's charging items included in Wang Xiu's relics?
These relics have become Li Guanqi's last hope.
If there are no charging items in these things, then he really can't find even the slightest idea and can only accept his fate.
And the answer will be revealed soon.
…
…
"It's all here."
Wenshui County, County Lord's Mansion, Study Room.
Takeda Ryoko handed a string of space necklaces to Li Guanqi, "This is the space necklace of Senior Wang Xiu, a sixth-level space storage device with a space of 3000m3, but Senior Wang Xiu has lived a carefree and unrestrained life, very romantic... Well, let's be direct.
At the very least, I don’t have any savings.
The money he originally asked me to donate to the poor people was actually only 20 million gold coins.
Many of the remaining things are items of little practical value, and the rest are various cultivation elixirs, magic weapons and other items. I took a few glances at them, and the total value was about
About 100 million gold coins.
As a seven-star peak different-blood warrior..."
Takeda Ryoko was slightly hesitant, but still said: "After all, it is the pinnacle of seven-stars. This family fortune is considered very poor at the level of seven-stars."
"A lot of his early savings were used to upgrade his sword, which he upgraded from a six-level sword to a seven-star sword."
Li Guanqi took the space necklace and looked inside.
The first thing that caught the eye were rows of weapon racks, swords, guns, swords and halberds. There were thousands of them. They were all magic weapons, high and low. The most valuable ones were these magic weapons.
Li Guanqi knows the origin of these magical weapons.
When he was still learning swordsmanship from Wang Xiu in the Nameless Valley, he would occasionally listen to the handsome old man telling stories.
One thing Wang Xiu often said is - weapons have spirituality.
But actually there isn't.
Shunkong mentioned to Li Guanqi that any weapon in the world, whether it is a magical weapon or a sacrificial weapon, cannot contain spiritual intelligence and will not have its own consciousness before it becomes a sacred weapon.
As for blowing a whistle, snapping your fingers, hooking your fingers, and the weapon will fly back automatically... those are the various functions that the maker of the magic weapon sets up inside the magic weapon to achieve various functions.
The theory of instantaneous space is similar to artificial intelligence and biology.
In the eyes of artifacts like Shunkong, no matter how advanced artificial intelligence is, it cannot be called a living thing, because they do not have autonomous consciousness, and all their reactions are programmed and programmed in advance.
However, if this artificial intelligence can produce autonomous consciousness, it will no longer be artificial intelligence, but another life form.
It is equivalent to the transformation from a weapon to an artifact.
However, in real life, people often do not like rigorous theories, and people sometimes prefer less realistic romanticism.
For example, Wang Xiu.
In the eyes of the swordsman, weapons have spirituality. Even if it is an ordinary iron sword, as long as the owner uses it for a long time, it will definitely become spiritual and connect with the owner's mind.
Because of this, when Wang Xiu kills someone, he will not destroy the opponent's personal weapons, but will hide them.
However, the reason why he did this was not due to sympathy between swordsmen and their love for swords.
When Li Guanqi heard him talk about this for the first time, he was very emotional at first, but after learning the true motive, he couldn't help laughing.
"Master..."
Li Guanqi looked at the rows of weapon racks in the space necklace, with a complicated smile on his face, and thought of that time in the past.
That old scumbag's voice and smile seemed to reappear before his eyes and ears.
——
"Master, what are you doing? Why are you taking out so many weapons to bask in the sun...wait, why are there so many! Are they at least several thousand?"
"They are all trophies."
"The spoils of war?"
"Well, these weapons are all the weapons carried by the souls who died under my sword."
"Master, what are you doing? After killing people, you still keep their weapons?"
"Because weapons have spirituality."
"Oh? So you keep these weapons? Is it... out of sympathy? You don't want these weapons to be buried? But that's not right. If you keep them in the space necklace, isn't it also buried?"
"We are so sorry for each other!"
"ah?"
"In my whole life, I can say with a clear conscience that the sword in my hand has never been stained with the blood of any good person or innocent person. I held the sword when I was young, just to kill all the injustices in the world, so all the people I killed deserve to die.
Bandits and villains.
Those guys all deserve to die!
And weapons have spirits. After being used by those damn masters for so long, these weapons are all stained with sinful spirits.
If they are taken out and sold, the person who buys them will inevitably be influenced by the evil spirits of weapons. Over time, their minds will be polluted and they will surely degenerate into villains.
I don't want to see such a thing.
Therefore, after I kill evil people, I will never sell their weapons, so as not to make the good people who bought them suffer a loss, and also to prevent these evil weapons from spreading and falling into the hands of even more evil people to continue to help the evildoers."
"Forehead……"
"Huh? What's your expression? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I was thinking, why don't you just destroy it? What does it mean to store it?"
"This is not a collection."
"What is that?"
"It's detention."
"Ha, Master, are you treating these weapons as criminals and locking them in your space necklace? Let them serve their sentences?"
"That's exactly what it means."
"666, what do you mean by pulling them out to bask in the sun now?"
"Tell me first what does 666 mean? Where is the slang for it?"
"Um...it's not important, so Master, why did you pull out these sinners' weapons to bask in the sun?"
"The sun is the most positive thing in the world. Exposure to the sun more may be able to remove the evil spirit from their bodies."
"Ah, I understand, the prisoners in the prison have to come out for fun occasionally, right?"
——
The voices in the memories gradually faded away.
Li Guanqi also shook his head slightly and returned his attention to reality.
However, looking at the familiar space necklace in his hand, he still couldn't help feeling emotional and sighed.
"Old man, you choose your own path. If you had controlled yourself when you were young, stopped being a philanderer, been nicer to Takeda Kosai-senpai, and expressed your feelings, you would have married and had children long ago. Hug?
Fucked the big fat boy, didn’t you?”
As soon as he said this, Takeda Ryoko next to him also had erratic eyes, "Senior Wang Xiu has a romantic nature, so Master can never get over the hurdle in his heart. But I believe that as long as Senior Wang Xiu is willing to run over, hug Master and say a few words to coax him,
Master will definitely not be able to resist him at all."
"I did it all myself."
Li Guanqi shook his head, "It's just to tell the truth to the person you like. Is it so difficult? Even if you hesitate, you will lose. Look, they have lost their whole lives."
"..."
Takeda Ryoko didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly turned around, looked at the fox wood carving on the table and remained silent, saying no more.
Li Guanqi did not indulge in memories anymore, and instead went about his business. He began to check the items in Wang Xiu's space necklace one by one, refusing to let go of even the slightest clue.
During this process, he felt extremely anxious.
final.
After he opened a box for storing sundries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Facts have proved that his guess was not wrong.
I was sitting in the teleportation array in southern Xinjiang, and there happened to be an error in the teleportation. I happened to arrive at the nameless valley of the Sakura Shogunate. I happened to meet Wang Xiu, and I happened to be accepted as his disciple by him. I just happened to trigger the [Sword Pact] mission...
These things are actually not that "just right".
Somehow, these things were connected or attracted to him, or let him go there.
The mission of [Sword Pact] is related to the simulator!
"bite!"
"You found a charged item - the Time Jade Pendant!"
Li Guanqi looked at the cyan jade pendant lying among the many debris in the space necklace, and his expression changed slightly.
This jade pendant...is it carved with a Buddha statue?
I can’t tell what kind of Buddha it is.
Anyway, it is the classic image of the Buddha - a rich and fat figure, gentle eyebrows, half-dressed robes, and a posture of sitting cross-legged on the ground.
There is no Buddha in this strange world.
There were still some in the Old Era. Shunkong told him that there were a few gods who believed in Buddhism. After becoming gods, they called themselves Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, etc. However, after a gap in the New Era, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky disappeared.
into history.
The gods that New Age people believe in are basically humans who became gods during the Old Age.
The existence of this Buddha Jade Pendant charging item once again proves that simulators have appeared before the old era.
Although, the time crown that Li Guanqi obtained from the belly of the demon whale in the apocalyptic era has already proved this point.
Moreover, the appearance of this Buddha statue jade pendant also gave Li Guanqi a slightly different feeling about the simulator.
So far, Li Guanqi has collected 4 charging items.
Time ring.
Time necklace.
Time earrings.
Time Crown.
In fact, the overall style of the appearance of these four charging items is more "Western", especially the style of the crown of that time. The dynasties of Eastern China almost never used that type of ring crown style.
But the Buddha Jade Pendant completely breaks this rule.
Buddha statues and jade pendants have appeared, but can charging items with ancient Taoist charms be far behind?
"Liangzi, let's share it equally."
Li Guanqi was not in a hurry to get the time jade pendant, lest it would cause strange phenomena when he touched it, and he would have to make up an excuse to explain to Takeda Ryoko.
"However, there is a jade pendant inside. I definitely want it. You can do anything else..."
"No need."
Before he could finish speaking, Takeda Ryoko smiled and waved his hand, "These are the relics of Senior Wang Xiu. You can take them all."
"ah?"
Li Guanqi was stunned, "But... my master's last words were for you to share these things equally with me. These were his last words, weren't they?"
"Senior Wang Xiu indeed said that."
Takeda Ryoko nodded lightly and said with a smile: "But why do we juniors have to be so pedantic? It depends on the situation. I don't need these things. What's more, you helped me so much, and I wanted to thank you.
In addition, you killed Kitamura Shinpei but did not get his space necklace, and the space necklace he hid in the Kitamura family's treasure house was confiscated by the Enforcement Hall as family property, so I can't help you get it back.
…
I have to repay you in return, right?
You can think so too.
We have already divided the relics of Senior Wang Xiu equally, but in order to repay you, I will give you half of the things again, is that okay?"
"Forehead……"
Li Guanqi looked hesitant.
The majority of the master's relics are the magical weapons, which number in the thousands. Although most of them are trash weapons, they are gathered together into a tower. The total value of so many magical weapons is almost 100 million gold coins.
However, Takeda Ryoko was born in the Takeda family, so these 100 million gold coins are probably nothing to her.
"Okay, you don't need these."
Thinking of this, Li Guanqi became more straightforward. Without saying anything, he nodded lightly, and then directly hung the space necklace around his neck.
Speaking of which, Master's sixth-level space necklace is 2000m3 larger than his original space necklace.
The space necklace he is using now was taken from the High Priest Moye in Moxie Gu Village. It only has 1000m3. It is estimated to be a fifth-level storage device, not as good as the sixth-level storage device of the master.
"So, how can I thank you?"
Seeing this, Takeda Ryoko smiled and asked Li Guanqi again.
"ah?"
Li Guanqi was stunned, "Didn't you finish thanking me? Isn't it just a thank you that you gave me half of the inheritance?"
"How can this be counted?"
Takeda Ryoko couldn't help but smile.
After she covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, she gradually became serious again, and looked at Li Guanqi seriously, "Thank you, I still have to thank you, but I don't know how to thank you, why don't you tell me? Even if it's some
The requests that I cannot fulfill now can also be fulfilled in the future.”
"Then just think you owe me a favor."
Li Guanqi smiled calmly, "When will I need you in the future, will I go to the Takeda family to find you again? Then don't turn your back and deny it."
"Absolutely not!"
Somehow, after hearing this, Takeda Ryoko was very happy and nodded excitedly.
"Why do you look so good..."
Li Guanqi looked at her with a strange expression, "Debts from favors are the most difficult to repay. Officials hate owing debts from favors. You should be more careful and avoid owing debts from favors in the future."
"I am not an official in front of you."
Takeda Ryoko smiled, her moist peach blossom eyes almost curved into crescent moons, "I'm just Takeda Ryoko, just Ryoko."
"I hope so."
Li Guanqi also smiled, then looked around, looked around, and finally looked at the window sill, looking at the blue sky outside, and chuckled: "Liangzi, it's time to say goodbye."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Takeda Ryoko's delicate body suddenly trembled. Looking at this tall man with white hair and blue eyes, bathed in the sun, he bit his red lips lightly.
"Goodbye."
Li Guanqi didn't like to be too pretentious when parting, so he waved to Takeda Ryoko, then turned and walked towards the study door.
"Can we meet again?"
Takeda Ryoko looked at his back and asked quickly.
"There is a saying in my hometown, there is no place in life where we don't meet again."
Li Guanqi didn't look back, but a slightly smiling voice came out, "What's more, you, Takeda Ryoko, still owe me, Li Guanqi, a favor. Sooner or later, I will have to pay you back, so don't default on the debt."
"Liangzi, we will meet again."
"Let's go, no need to send it off."
"Bang."
Li Guanqi pushed the door open and then closed the door gently with his backhand.
Takeda Ryoko was standing by the desk, with a bright smile on her face.
"Yes, we will meet again, definitely."
…
…
There is indeed a saying in Li Guanqi's hometown - we meet everywhere in life.
But his hometown also has another saying - the ends of the earth are far away from each other.
In fact, life is like this.
Many times, people do not realize that this moment is the last moment that they and the other person will see each other.
You thought this was just a normal encounter and farewell, but little did you know that this was the last time you saw her.
There are very few places in life where we don't meet each other.
What really becomes the norm is the saying that we are separated from each other at the ends of the world, and once we say goodbye, we will never see each other again...
But life is life.
Life will not stop because of a certain separation from a certain person.
At least Li Guanqi's life, after he and Takeda Ryoko broke up, was still moving forward, and he also made a big jump.
The acquisition of the time jade pendant engraved with a Buddha statue, a charged item, finally allowed him to gradually begin to uncover the mystery of the simulator.
"bite!"
"You have obtained one of the core components of the simulator - the Time Jade Pendant!"
"Unlock new features: Q&A!"
“You can ask the simulator any question about the simulator itself and get answers to a certain extent!”
