——But first of all, we need to clarify what exactly is the so-called "psionic energy".
Yuan Ye focused his attention on the word psionic energy. The explanation given by the system was: the energy to maintain the existence of a complex system, one point of psionic energy per day.
——The news we can get from here is that lifespan can be exchanged for spiritual energy, so there must be some kind of unusual relationship between them.
——Psionic energy is the energy that maintains the existence of complex systems. In other words, complex systems must contain spiritual energy.
——But first we must understand what the definition of complex system is. Does mechanical system count? Does the chip count? Or can it only be human?
Miscellaneous thoughts kept popping up in Yuan Ye's mind. Golden Finger did not come with anything he liked to see, such as a beautiful girl system girl, to escort him and answer difficult questions. He could only rely on his own guessing.
——What is certain at present is that the human body definitely contains psychic energy. The use of psychic energy should reduce the energy that maintains the complex system of humans. It is natural that life span will be reduced.
Yuan Ye opened his notebook, took out a piece of scratch paper, and wrote the words "psionic energy" and "human" on the paper, then circled them and connected them with double arrows.
——But how to obtain spiritual energy from others? Just killing people is definitely not enough. After the mechanical white clothes were killed by me, I didn’t gain any spiritual power. At least, I didn’t have any special feelings, and the system didn’t prompt me.
——Does it need to be extracted using special methods? That's indeed possible.
Yuanye wrote "Unknown extraction method" on the double arrow, and then listed a sub-item under the Chinese character "Qi".
——Mechanical Baiyi once said that after the human body reaches the carbon-based limit, it will naturally produce high-level energy in the body. He described this as a biological energy revolution, and also used the example of a warrior in Chinese mythology: Fighting Boiling the muscles and bones, transporting Qi and blood, and then the magic appears.
Yuanye also connected Qi and spiritual energy with double arrows, and wrote "doubtful" on the double arrows.
——Looking at it this way, spiritual energy and qi are very likely to be very closely related. The biological structure of the human body cannot be said to be more complex than a chip in any case, but the complexity of the brain is different. Mechanical Baiyi said that dead people and animals cannot produce Qi also proves this.
——From this point of view, the real complex system of human beings is the carbon-based brain, or it is the soul that still does not know whether it exists.
——In any case, it is very possible that Qi and spiritual energy are closely related, and may even be the same thing.
A five-pointed star was marked next to Qi by Yuanye to show its importance.
——What about the others? For example, let’s take the natural environment that evolved humans. If the natural environment can be considered a complex system, then where is the spiritual energy it contains? Is this world like a fantasy world with such things as "spiritual stones"?
——It is also possible that, according to common sense, this thing exists in famous mountains and rivers.
All the words he had written before were circled by Yuanye, and then he drew a new line and wrote two sentences.
"The holder of Qi" and "the psychic energy that exists in other complex systems".
Under these two sentences, Yuanye listed two sub-items - "Genetically modified upper class people" and "Famous mountains and rivers (guess)"
After sorting out his thoughts, Yuan Ye put the piece of paper back into his notebook with satisfaction and set a goal.
——First find a way to get into the circle of those genetically modified upper-class people, see if there is a qi holder who has reached the carbon-based limit, and get information from him.
——If that doesn't work, go explore the famous mountains and rivers and see if you can find anything related to psychic energy.
——But at the moment, I need to make up for my social experience time quickly, otherwise I won’t even be able to graduate, not to mention that I still have to try to get into Cintiq University.
Thinking like this, Yuan Ye took out two promotional flyers. The one in the museum was very short of people. Even if you didn't know the relevant knowledge at all, you could get a job as long as you signed up, but the salary was very small. Two-fifths of them work part-time in factories.
The one at the dojo requires a trial training, and you can only take up the job after passing the test. After all, this is more or less a technical job, and the salary is the same as Yuanye's odd job in a convenience store, and it can also be entered into the official work system to calculate the hours.
Yuanye sent the information according to the contact number printed on the promotional leaflet of the kendo dojo's sparring partner, and made an appointment to go to their place for a trial training in the afternoon to see if he was qualified to be a sparring partner.
But thinking about it, an ordinary sparring partner doesn’t need any superb swordsmanship. According to Yuan Ye’s conjecture, a swordsmanship skill of LV.3 can safely pass the test. Even if he is of the same level as the original master before he traveled through time, he may be selected. This should be one of the reasons why Yamauchi-sensei recommended him.
After school, Yuan Ye first went back to the low-rent house he rented before, and confirmed that there was someone squatting around the house. Then he bypassed the squatter, went home, packed up all the things that he should take away, and put them in the renter's room. In the hotel where I stayed.
——It seems that Sakata will not forget me for a while, so I’d better not live in that place.
Yuan Ye thought like this. He went to the landlord to cancel the lease, and the entire process was completed through the intermediary rental system. After the landlord completed the inspection and release, the system would automatically refund his deposit. If the landlord claimed that the house was damaged, an employee of the intermediary system would assess the damage. After the repair fee is automatically deducted, the remaining deposit is refunded or additional money is required. He does not need to worry about the entire process.
After doing this, Yuanye went to the dojo. Although it was not far away, Yuanye's school ended early after all, so he arrived at the dojo before the sun set.
"Hello, I'm Yuan Ye who came to apply for a job as a swordsman sparring partner. I'm already at the door." Yuan Ye sent the message to the people at the dojo through instant messaging software and waited quietly at the door.
While waiting, Yuanye observed the dojo.
Even in Tokyo, where land is at a premium, this dojo occupies a large area, and its exterior is a classic Japanese-style ancient building. Although it can be seen that it was rebuilt with modern technology, even if it was rebuilt, it would still have at least It has been decades old, and even though the dojo has been well maintained, time has still left obvious traces.
There is a cherry blossom tree planted deep in the dojo. It looks quite old. Even Yuanye standing outside the dojo can catch a glimpse of its beauty. However, since the cherry blossom season has just entered, there are only some in the southern part of Yingzhou. The Han Fei Sakura is in bloom, but this one obviously hasn’t arrived yet.
It was far away from the main road, so it was very quiet. While waiting, Yuan Ye could clearly hear the power of the deer in the dojo, that is, the crisp sound of adding water hitting the bluestone, and the sound of the wind breaking through the swing of the sword in the dojo.
Yuan Ye calmed down, and the sound of breaking wind gradually separated into several different sound layers in his ears. There was an obvious sense of layering. He could hear that some of the sound of breaking wind was uneven, one was fast and the other was slow. This is a sign that the basic skills of swordsmanship have not yet been fully mastered, but there are also many who, although there are slight fluctuations, can generally maintain a similar sound, which shows that the level of these sword wielders is pretty good, at least they are getting started.
Among these sword swinging sounds, one was the most unique, rapid and powerful, but without any fluctuation at all. It was like a windless lake surface. The sound had the same frequency as the sound of water hitting the yard. Yuanye even missed it at first. But if you look carefully, you can still hear the sound of the sword that seems to be integrated with the environment, like reciting a simple poem.
Suddenly, the poetry stopped.
Then, the door to the dojo was opened.
Sakura Yagyu was standing behind the door in kendo uniform, her long hair tied into a ponytail, and her hairband reflected orange light in the soft light of the entrance.
