Lushan Castle, castle tower.
It is obviously not as big as Inabayama Castle, but it is also well repaired. After all, this city is where Saito Douzan plans to retire. Even if he doesn't care at all, the people below him will. Don't dare to treat it carelessly.
Precisely because it is the retirement place chosen by Saito Douzan for himself, there is currently no city owner in this city. In other words, the city owner is Saito Douzan himself, but the viper has not moved here yet... So, take Saito With Tōdōsan's handwritten letter of appointment, the three of them successfully temporarily entered the highest power center of Lushan City.
There was no hindrance.
"Because originally the city lord was Master Dao San, and before Master Dao San came over, this place was originally empty..." Tokichiro explained, "If we can't even get in at the beginning, then it's not an obstruction, but a blatant act. Disobedient."
This is the truth...
Gu Mo stood on the watchtower of the castle tower, looking at the scenery in the distance and the city below. He once again regretted that his mobile phone had run out of battery early... If I had known better, I would have brought a mobile power bank, but considering the time, It's so long, I'm afraid just one or two won't help.
Anything more would be unrealistic. After all, unless something is approved by the system, it cannot be put into the inventory. There is no way he can carry something like this weighing more than ten kilograms around.
"But we will definitely encounter obstacles in the future. Even if those people say nice things on the surface due to our current status, they will still say bad things secretly..." Tokichiro who was standing next to him continued with a wry smile. He said that he knew very well that even a small village, even if it was not full of factions on the mountain, would still be divided into many different interest groups.
Families with a large population will naturally try to control the interests of the village and occupy a greater say, which will invisibly harm the interests of households with a small population, let alone such a larger family than a village or town. There are many cities, and Lushan City is not a new city built recently.
Local forces and old interest groups have also followed the development of this city to the present. As an important part of Lushan City, they have already been intertwined and mixed.
"It's quite normal to do things in a positive and negative way. This kind of thing happens all the time. After all, everyone has his own ideas."
Gu Mo nodded lightly, knowing that this was what the monkey said, but his tone was quite calm. His eyes looked down at the city below with strange eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"The main thing is that we are not Daosan Daosan and have insufficient prestige. If we want to achieve something, we still need the cooperation of these local guys." Fujikichiro chuckled and said in an optimistic tone as much as possible: "If we convince them well, , as long as they guarantee that their own interests will not be harmed, there should be no problem..."
After all, in the final analysis, what comes and goes is nothing but the words "interest and stance"——
In fact, that group of people are either full and holding on, or they are opposing for the sake of opposition. They are mainly worried that their own interests will be damaged due to changes, so as long as they make concessions and make promises in this regard, those who might otherwise Those who stand on the opposite side become allies of their own camp...
Then the resistance can turn into a boost, this is what Fujikichiro thinks. It cannot be said about the limitations of the times, because no matter before or in the future, the world will operate according to such a rule.
"Ah, there's no rush..." Gu Mo nodded, but looked a little noncommittal. He didn't object but didn't agree either, but seemed to have other ideas.
Monkey opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he stopped in time. He carefully looked at the expression of the person in front of him and felt that the other person seemed to have something in mind. In this case, there was no need to repeat the urge himself. Talk too much. It's always easy to annoy people.
Moreover, I and others have just arrived here today. If they want to take over the management of Lushan City, they need to figure it out slowly. They cannot rush for quick success and quick success. Thinking of getting it right in one step without knowing anything clearly is obviously not good. realistic.
"Ahem, then Brother Gu Mo, should I go get some information now?"
After thinking this, Tokichiro restrained his original thoughts. He tried very hard to show a very friendly expression, but when this expression appeared on his face, it always had a more obscene meaning.
"Don't worry, it's quite late today. Let's go tomorrow." Looking back, Gu Mo looked at the monkey up and down, then waved his hand and sighed in his heart.
Coming from a society where everyone is equal, or at least verbally and in most situations, everyone is equal. He is actually quite sensitive to this aspect. Whether others are deliberately arrogant or put down their posture, he can clearly detect it. question.
Or the monkey itself is accustomed to the survival rules of this era and agrees with this factual basis, so it doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, and will actively cater to this set of rules and strive for opportunities.
Flattery, please, cautious, strive for every opportunity as much as possible in order to get ahead, but even if you have already got the opportunity, you will still worry about gains and losses. As long as it is not implemented, you will always worry about the possibility of things happening again, and you will worry about annoying others if you keep repeating confirmations. It can only be confirmed by using indirect methods.
Gu Mo didn't like this, and he didn't feel inflated by the monkey's attitude change from the cheerful and open-minded at the beginning to the need to please himself. Instead, he felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's okay. Isn't it still early? I'll go and see what's going on first..."
Hearing that the other party said that he would do it tomorrow instead of not having to do it himself, Fujiyoshiro immediately felt at peace in his heart. He patted his chest with a smile and volunteered: "And it will be quick. After all, I have been to Lushan Castle several times before. Originally, I have a certain understanding, just see if there are any new changes in the past two years..."
You must seize this opportunity, and you will have to wait and see whether you can make a difference.
Tokichiro is not afraid that things will be troublesome or difficult, but he is afraid that he will not be able to play a role and show his value... He has spent the past few days in a mood mixed with excitement and anxiety, but he is worried that things will happen again. .
After quickly finalizing the matter, the monkey showed great mobility and hurriedly went down to the watchtower, preparing to use the last time between evening and curfew to do something.
Gu Mo looked back at the setting sun over the distant mountains and twitched his lips. He felt that if people like Tokichiro were born in modern times, they would definitely be the spokesperson of the involution spirit.
After one last look, he turned around and went down the watchtower.
After Hidechiyo assigned the room, he went to rest alone. He had been traveling all day and night these past few days. In fact, the black-haired girl was the one who was most stressed, so she felt a little tired now. After finally arriving at the destination, she naturally needed to take a good rest. Take some rest.
But Tokichiro was in a hurry to express himself, and Hidechiyo also went to rest... Gu Mo, who had also gotten used to being in a team during this period, looked at the empty room and felt that he was not very used to being alone at the moment.
He sat cross-legged and thought about it carefully. He felt that the world was really wonderful. Who could have imagined that this day would happen to him... He traveled through time and space and returned to the Warring States Period five hundred years ago. When he met his wife, he hugged his thigh and lived. After he came down, he held the position of acting city lord while still holding him in his arms.
In the past, I was tense a lot of time, or busy thinking about various things, and everything seemed to be taken for granted. But now I am alone, calm down and think carefully, but I find that everything is a bit fantasy and unreal. .
Of course, he didn't feel too much and quickly took action again.
Now that he is acting as the city lord, it is much easier to do anything. For example, let him prepare for himself, take a bath or something.
After giving the order, the necessary things were quickly prepared. A wooden bucket that could hold a whole person. The clear and clean hot water was steaming in the bucket. If the whole person was soaked in it...it would be beautiful just thinking about it, especially for him. This state, which was so dusty after traveling for several days, was simply heaven.
However, Gu Mo did not rush in. Instead, he asked the attendants on the left and right to step aside without their service. After closing the door carefully, he returned to the front of the big wooden barrel and could barely see clearly with the help of the white steaming water surface. own image and open the properties panel.
As usual, today's real-name verification is carried out, and of course there is still no network connection, effectively treating hypotension.
Then he switched back to the upgrade page, looked at it, and considered adding the allocable points obtained by upgrading the life level to LV5 to the "Strength" attribute... Three points were added to the physique. So far, it has been It's pretty good, and his physique has been greatly enhanced.
It is enough for the time being, when facing a battle at the level of ordinary people...
If you want to reach the next level, for example, the physical body can effectively resist swords, it is probably not a matter of adding a little or two, so after thinking about it, Gu Mo thought that he could first strengthen his strength and increase his output, instead of blindly strengthening his ability to take beatings. ability.
Although he currently has few skills, the only one he can use is strange. If it can be effective, it might be the kind where after the enemy severely injured him, he found that his health bar was longer than before being severely injured. If it is an evenly matched or evenly matched confrontation, this is the key point that determines victory or defeat.
But it's not a problem to stay like this forever. He always needs to increase his regular combat effectiveness.
Accompanied by the comforting heat that seemed to flow to every cell in his body, washing all his limbs and bones, Gu Mo endured not making a sound. During this process, the mysterious power shook his whole body again. After shaping, it seems to shape the new composition of skin cells, strengthen the elasticity and toughness of muscle fibers, and so on.
But he didn't know all this. The only thing he could confirm was that the strength value on the attribute panel changed from 11 points to 12 points.
If 10 points of strength is the theoretical health level of a normal person, then 11 points is the level of strength and muscle, and 12 points...
The strong muscles are not exaggeratedly bulging, like those of bodybuilders, but have smooth lines, like Greek hero statues that were shaped with reference to the human image and given a more ideal and perfect art form. Generally, full of powerful beauty.
"This, this, this... is a bit exaggerated!"
Looking at the vague reflection on the water, he reached out and touched the strong biceps on his arms, and then lifted up his clothes and touched the angular tendons on his lower abdomen. Gu Mo had a look of surprise on his face. This was exactly what he had guessed before adding the point. He had passed the results and hoped to see them, but it was so smooth that he couldn't believe it.
With just one point increase, the change is obvious.
He clenched his fists hard and punched a few times quickly. Feeling the explosive power contained in his muscles, he nodded with relief. This was all due to his own efforts. It was so satisfying!
The increase brought by each point is very powerful. No wonder each upgrade only gives one assignable attribute point. If it were based on the situation of many games that allocate 5 10 points for upgrading, he would now have the original The ground took off!
"Well, it's okay. There doesn't seem to be any change when I put on clothes..."
He is a person with a relatively standard and well-proportioned body shape. He is neither fat nor thin. So although the muscle shaping effect after reaching 12 points in strength is a bit amazing, this is a change that he can only notice clearly. , others should not be able to see it.
I just don’t know whether this effect is based on changes in the ideal state of the human body, or whether it will trigger body changes again and again as long as the attributes are increased. If the strength continues to be strengthened in the future, will it become more and more exaggerated...
Pressing down a trace of worry in his heart, he quickly browsed the properties panel and quickly found the second thing he wanted to do.
That inexplicable home system——
It appeared at the mark in the lower left corner. After opening it, what appeared in front of him was a large map. If he looked carefully, he would find that it was a bird's-eye view of Lushan City. It was like a scaled sand table, with all the necessary details.
And below and to the left of his field of vision, there are densely packed various numerical displays and operation options, such as "Grain", "Wood", "Metal", "Weapon", "Ashigaru", "Farmer" ...Also like "market", "building", "barracks", and so on.
emmmm……
etc! I am familiar with this! Gu Mo blinked and suddenly felt confident.
If he were to actually manage a city and face various complicated problems, he would really be very helpless. After all, he had never had such experience before. No matter how Saito Douzan thought about it, he was still just an ordinary person.
But if with the help of the mentally retarded system, everything can be turned into a data panel that he is familiar with, and he can use the mysterious power of this panel to indirectly affect his decision-making and scheduling on everything in the corresponding real world... Well, It's time for Saito Douzan to see what it means to be a wise man.
It's just a Lushan City. Who are you looking down on? He was once the supervisor of the Star Sea, and he directly or indirectly controlled areas throughout the galaxy.
Gu Mo rolled up his sleeves enthusiastically and began to study this new method of playing carefully through the water.
"Sir, there is someone outside asking to see you."
But at this moment, a cautious voice came from outside, and the attendant reported something.
"Well, who wants to see me?" Gu Mo frowned. He didn't know anyone, or was it a local official who heard that a new boss was parachuted in, so he came to visit the dock to test the situation?
"There is an onmyoji and a... female warrior outside. However, they did not say their names. They just asked me to come and report. You will know better, sir." The attendant still answered cautiously.
Onmyoji and female samurai?
Gu Mo raised his eyebrows and suddenly had a strange thought... A Xiu's story involves elements of time and space and mutual causality. Did his arrival inadvertently affect or change something?
