No fame, no land, suppressed by peers, hungry, and creditors are about to come to the door. If you add some settings like monsters invading and destroying the dojo, then this can be said to be a background of sky collapse, and the playability is extremely high.
Is it true that only colleagues have naked hatred?
Yagyu Shinkage Ryu, right? I'll remember you guys!
Cursing in his heart, he directly classified the Yagyu Dojo, whom he had never met before, as an imaginary enemy, and stood up and patted his butt.
From Qiye's bloodline perception, he hasn't sensed the presence of any monsters around, and his cell phone is temporarily unusable. Zangma and the others are not in the same location, and they are about to face the issue of debt collection.
Although Youfang had just earned a considerable amount of money not long ago, he obviously did not want to spend his little money on this.
The 400,000 yen he had obtained before plus the tens of thousands of savings he had before, after treating those people around him who didn't know what moderation was, to dinner, he actually only spent about 100,000 yen, and he only carried the rest with him.
However, this time when he checked his wallet because of the "creditor's" reminder, he found that there was an exchange option behind the funds. His 320,000 yen plus some change could be exchanged into the currency used in the Warring States Period according to the ratio.
The person on the right was stunned for a moment, then nodded to himself in understanding.
The campuses I visited before were either places where no money was needed or places where funds were universal. As someone who has read a little bit of history of various countries, I knew that during the Warring States Period, which was at least five or six hundred years ago, there was no need to use ten thousand yuan bills printed with "Fukuzawa Yukichi".
It should be a setting added by the system to deliberately make things difficult for the players, but it is also very interesting.
He glanced to the right and found that all his current assets of 320455 yen could be exchanged for a maximum of 4 Musashi Pan and 22 copper coins. In addition, there were options for exchanging for silver and even exchanging all for copper coins...
Gold Dapan, Gold Xiaopan, Ding, Yindouban, Yintongqian, these are all types of currency used in this era. Fortunately, these three commodities of gold, silver and copper are all unified into a single form of currency, instead of the large number of different currencies that appeared in ancient times according to the different metal content of the currency when minting as you remember. However, even so, you are still scratching your head, because the exchange ratio and weight unit are very different from the modern education you have received.
Guan, bi, fen, liang, bu, zhu, what are all these?
Youfang’s math is not bad. After all, he is a small boss in reality. It is not good to be insensitive to numbers. However, when suddenly encountering a currency system that is far different from reality and games, let alone Youfang, everyone would be at a loss.
I want to play a game and I have to learn about other countries’ ancient currency systems? Bullshit!
However, when he saw the two-way exchange item in the currency exchange option on the right, his originally sullen face suddenly became cheerful.
Isn't it possible to make money from this area and spend it on other campuses? This setting is very humane~
As he was a little confused about the purchasing power of currency, he exchanged all his loose change into copper coins. There were twenty-two coins in total with square holes in the middle. The words "Musashi Tongbao" could be vaguely seen on them.
Are they all prefixed with Musashi?
Youfang is not in a hurry to find any Gintama fragments or monsters. In fact, he is more interested in the true appearance of this ancient city than fighting. It seems that this plot will not be too short. Youfang’s current mood is actually similar to traveling to a strange place.
Tossing the copper coins in his hand, Youfang planned to find a store or something like that to spend the money and roughly judge the purchasing power of the copper coins, which would also make it easier for him to rob other robbers later.
Just when Youfang was about to say goodbye to the money-losing dojo behind him, the gate of the dojo yard was violently knocked open.
Two sword-wielding warriors dressed very similarly to Youfang rushed in rudely. When they saw Youfang playing with coins, they were stunned at first, and then their expressions became playful.
"Has the owner of Tono raised the money to pay the rent? These ten cents are far from enough."
The leading warrior spoke sarcastically as if he wanted to deliberately provoke the right side.
Youfang couldn't understand everything for a moment. After all, he didn't know the two people in front of him.
But just when both sides wanted to do something, accompanied by a very loud eagle cry, a brown and white eagle suddenly fell from the sky, circled around, and then landed on the courtyard wall.
The eagle's eyes are different from those of ordinary animals. There is a mixture of hostility and curiosity in its eyes. It wants to make contact but feels a little disgusted. It wants to warn but feels it is unnecessary. It is very contradictory. Its flexible eagle head stabilizer keeps shaking as it looks to the right, as if it is trying to discover something deeper from the person on the right.
Chapter 684: Your Knife
The appearance of this strange eagle was just an episode. The two warriors who were obviously serving as debt collectors quickly chose to ignore it and continued to provoke the right.
Youfang also temporarily withdrew his gaze from the eagle and returned it to the two warriors in front of him.
However, just from the brief eye contact just now, Youfang already felt that this eagle should not be an ordinary species. If he had to describe it with something he had seen in the past, perhaps the elf fire was closest to its aura?
"Who are you? What school do you belong to?"
Youfang started playing with coins more and more aggressively. It was a simple finger-jumping technique, but Youfang was playing with more than a dozen coins in one breath. Just watching me make my fingers cramp.
If you don't understand, just ask. Youfang felt that he was a good kid who didn't hesitate to ask questions, although he had probably guessed something from the other party's attitude.
The two warriors looked at each other, saw the disbelief in each other's eyes, and then suddenly burst into laughter, scaring the eagle on the wall so much that it flapped its wings.
"Master, are you forgetful? We met yesterday!"
The mockery on the leading warrior's face quickly turned into contempt, and his tone became even more severe.
"Or is it that the owner of Tono is pretending to be stupid in order to avoid paying the rent? You have to think carefully, owner. No one in Edo Castle can encroach on the property of our Yagyu Shinkage Ryu. So far, you have been given a ten-day grace period for paying the rent. This is the final deadline!"
At this time, the other warrior who had been silent suddenly spoke.
"Of course, our school would not kill a samurai for a little money. If there is really no money..."
The other warrior, who was obviously wearing a white face, moved his gaze from the face on the right to the sword hanging on the right waist.
It is self-evident what they are seeking.
Could it be that this dojo was rented to me by Yagyu Shinkage-ryu? Or did they rent the dojo to me and suppress me until I was penniless, all for my sword? These people are amazing~
The expression on the right side hardly changed, and it could even be said that he was trying to hold back his laughter, because he has not yet developed empathy for the storyline told by the other party. He knows very well that this is a trick, but he looks at the problem from a third-person perspective. No matter how you look at it, all of this is just a clumsy but effective trick that makes people want to laugh.
The system settings are really quite interesting.
In this era, samurai swords are very valuable, and the train-kiri Hiromitsu and Hinata in the right hand must be even more valuable.
For a samurai, a good sword can improve his strength immeasurably.
"Isn't this enough?"
The right-hand man ignored the blunt hint from the other side and showed them the twenty-two cents in his hand, which was worth about 450 yuan.
"Are you joking?"
The warrior with the bad face asked back, and then as if he was enraged, he put one hand on the hilt of the sword.
At this time, Youfang noticed that the two people in front of him also had double swords on their waists, but one was a standard model and the other was a short model.
One tachi and one wakizashi, it's two swords style.
Youfang silently noted that the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu was most likely a two-sword style.
Youfang casually thought of the perverted Yue Yong who was killed by him.
"You want to pay the rent for the next two months with this money that can only buy a bowl of soba noodles? If you can't come up with a gold coin today, be careful, we two brothers will kill you without mercy!"
The angry black-faced warrior was about to step forward, but was grabbed by the sleeve by the white-faced warrior next to him as if for show.
Suddenly, the two warriors stood still at the same time, their eyes wide open.
Because they saw the other hand on the right take out a golden coin like a magic trick.
The color and luster are definitely real gold!
The person on the right flipped his hand again, and the Musashi Kin Koban that had just been exchanged was returned to the wallet. In the eyes of the other person, it was like a magic trick.
Oh, they may not know what magic is, although there are many people in this area who can do things much better than magic.
"This is impossible! Where did you get so much money!?"
The black-faced warrior looked incredulous. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the left hand of the person "hiding Xiaopan" on the right.
But the next second he was hit right in the abdomen, and the whole person flew out, with saliva in his mouth and blood oozing from his gums flying in the air.
The white-faced warrior was stunned. The scene before him was beyond his expectation, as well as the one on the right.
This minion's abdominal muscles are well-trained. It's a pity that this kick may not have damaged the opponent's internal organs.
Youfang patted his sleeve that was caught, and the black-faced warrior rolled on the ground, holding his stomach.
The yard of the Tono Dojo had not been cleaned for a long time. Maybe it had rained a few days ago, so the ground was still a little muddy. The black-faced warrior rolled over and rolled all the mud and dead leaves onto himself.
The white-faced warrior finally reacted. Instead of helping the dirty black-faced warrior up, he drew the sword from his waist, pointed the tip of the sword to the right, and shouted loudly.
"Are you planning to go against our Yagyu Dojo? Do you know what the consequences will be?"
And at this moment, the knife flashed.
The person on the right was actually making a gesture of slowly sheathing a sword.
With a clang, the samurai sword in the white-faced warrior's hand, which looked shiny and sharp and must have been well maintained, broke. At the same time, the belt of his skirt and pants also broke, revealing the white loincloth with some foreign color stains and thick slingshot.
The white-faced warrior's face turned even paler and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
He suddenly couldn't understand why Toono Shiki, who was so cowardly (system setting) before, suddenly became so scary.
"You guys are the ones who can represent the entire dojo? Your master's vision in accepting apprentices is not very good at all."
The contempt on the right side's face was returned super doubled.
Although Youfang was also a fast-learning foreign swordsman, he had at least reached the level of Menkyo Kaiden. In his opinion, the two minions in front of him who only looked decent on the surface were at most low-level swordsman apprentices who had been doing odd jobs for two years in the Shenming School and were not yet qualified to be on the stage.
"I'm not planning on evading rent. I can pay whatever I'm owed, but you have to bring the land deed over to collect the rent. Do you think I'll just take whatever you say? And you want to rob me? Do you think I'm stupid? Ugh!"
After spitting at the ground, Youfang stepped over the black-faced warrior and walked out.
At this time, many passers-by who had come to watch the excitement had gathered on both sides of the entrance of the dojo. When they saw someone coming out from the right, they hurriedly made way.
The disciples of the Yagyu Dojo are not easy to deal with, but the owner of the Tono Dojo who failed to receive even half a disciple seems to be even more difficult to deal with.
For passers-by, they are just there to watch the fun, and no one would be so ignorant as to care about things that have nothing to do with them.
"Excuse me~"
Youfang regained his harmless expression and smiled at these people who were dressed either simply or gorgeously, as if the person who had just KOed the two warriors was not him at all.
Youfang’s current goal is simple, which is to find a noodle shop and eat a bowl of the soba noodles they just talked about.
The eagle that had been observing the right side from the top of the wall flapped its wings and flew into the sky, but apparently it did not fly far away. Instead, it hung in the air and followed the right side from a distance.
At the same time, in a hotel, a long-haired girl wearing a costume with strong Ainu ethnic characteristics, with her fingers crossed and eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes.
"The breath of life, the breath of monsters, the breath of humans... and even the breath of nature spirits. Mamahaha must be troubled now. She thought she had found her own kind but found such a strange freak."
There was deep confusion in the girl's eyes.
The mixed auras on the people she saw through the eyes of the guardian eagle Mamahaha also made it impossible for her to correctly judge whether the other person was good or evil for a while.
However, as a shrine maiden, she could not leave such an uncertain factor on the right side wandering around, so after thinking for a moment, she decided to go and confirm in person whether the other party was some kind of special monster.
One of the girl's lifelong beliefs was to never tolerate any evil. She grabbed the scimitar inherited from her father and rushed out of the room in a hurry.
Chapter 685 Yoshiwara Tour
The time has come to the afternoon.
Slurp~~
Soup splashing~
A pile of cooked and rinsed soba noodles was placed on a bamboo mesh tray, a cup was three-quarters full of light brown liquid, and there were three small plates containing thinly cut seaweed, cucumber and fried egg strips.
That was all that twenty cents could buy.
The cup is filled with a salty and umami soup made from kelp and bonito. Soba noodles are eaten with this soup, and you can also add your own ingredients when eating.
Judging from the taste on the right, the saltiness of the soba noodle soup is not enough, but everything else is fine. It was a relatively novel experience to eat noodles standing in front of the small bar for the first time.
There are many people like you who are standing hurriedly near the bar of the shop slurping noodles. They all come and go in a hurry, quickly finishing the food in their mouths and rushing to where they are going to work. This makes the slow-moving you seem a little different.
Youfang, who was not in a hurry at all, ate while watching the people coming and going on Edo Road and the surrounding architectural layout. It was indeed a different experience.
Think about it now, I have experienced the end of the world, the invasion of another world, Paradise Island, outer space, the magic world, etc. These places all have their own characteristics, and Edo in the Warring States Period is indeed worth experiencing.
At this time, Youfang was somewhat relapsing into his old habit. Just like what he had done before in Misaki and the online commercial street, Youfang really enjoyed the feeling of opening a map in this kind of urban area, so he decided to walk through every corner of Edo Castle, open the entire map, and by the way, try to sense something with the Nanaya bloodline.
So the guy on the right, whose temperament was somewhat out of tune with the people around him, began to walk around the streets seemingly without any purpose.
People like the one on the right, who blend into the background but whose temperament is out of tune with the surroundings, are not only found in Edo Castle, but also in neighboring capitals such as Kyoto and Osaka, which are not much inferior to Edo, and there are quite a few of them.
Obviously, these people are players and NPCs from other campuses like the ones on the right.
I hadn't been walking around the right side for long when I encountered a player who was in a hurry.
The male player's dress blended in naturally with the local customs, but he obviously didn't look like his own type.
Judging from the knowledge reserve on the right, the player's clothes look very similar to those of a samurai at first glance, but the details are closer to the style of a shrine's lord. Konoka has similar clothes.
In addition, this player also has a long-handled weapon in his hand that is a combination of a Zen staff and a naginata.
On his right side, which habitually opened its eyes, he even saw a white dog spirit next to him.
The player, with his hat pulled down, seemed to be walking in a hurry.
The other party obviously noticed Youfang walking openly on the street, but he didn't seem to have any desire to talk to Youfang. Instead, there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
