In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Che tried it and found that the maximum amount of food he could feed at one time was 10 portions, and he currently had a total of 12 portions.

["Laughing Prajna (juvenile form)" is upgrading: 0%]

Looking at the Laughing Prajna mask spinning in the exquisite card, Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but sigh:

The evil dog planner, could he have even calculated this?

Draw a large amount of soul-soothing incense ash from the card pool, feed the incense ash to the demon incarnation, and then use the upgraded demon incarnation to open a new, more expensive card pool...

This is simply a perfect mechanism for internal circulation and digestion.

However, it is still a very good feeling to be able to directly see that Xiao Prajna is gradually becoming stronger.

After all, if Xiao Banruo becomes stronger, doesn’t that mean that he, Uesugi Che, will become stronger!

I just don't know if Laughing Prajna can upgrade by just eating these 10 portions of soul-soothing incense ashes...

Looking at the progress bar that showed no signs of movement after dozens of seconds, Uesugi Che estimated that it would take at least two or three days to finish eating, and it was not impossible that it would take longer, even more than a week.

Judging from the sudden appearance of "mother" and "sister" at home tonight, and what Nanjo Aimi said before, although supernatural events are not common, it seems that the probability is not extremely low.

So during the time when Xiao Prajna is upgrading, I also need to develop quickly.

If I meet Lilizi tomorrow, I must tell her not to ask anyone to investigate the club first. It would be bad if Taijun was involved.

When Uesugi Tetsu was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of a football match on TV.

He was in a trance for a while, and suddenly many warm memories of his time with his "father" came to his mind.

Then, Shang Shanche smiled at the person beside him: "Dad, why are you still not sleeping so late?"

Beside Uesugi Tetsu, the middle-aged man did not respond, but just stared silently at the football game on the TV screen.

"Oh, forget it." Uesugi Tetsu shook his head: "You can stay here and watch the game all night. I'm going to bed."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards his room. Halfway there, he did not forget to untie the "restraints" in front of the rag doll's eyes.

Then I found a small rope in the room and hung the doll at the door.

Use the doll that Nanjo-san gave you as a door god and carry it with you when you go out.

boom.

Uesugi Che stared at the [Enter the Eternal World] option that suddenly popped up in front of him and closed the door impatiently.

Outside the room, the rag doll hanging in the air spun lightly, and the middle-aged man's destitute face was reflected in its black pupils.

Chapter 6 Walking in the Eternal World

What is this [Enter the Ordinary World] that suddenly pops up?

Uesugi Tetsu looked at this option with interest.

[The appearance of a rift in the Eternal World has been detected. You can now choose to enter the Eternal World to explore.]

Apart from this, there is no more explanation.

He nodded thoughtfully.

Hmm, I can’t understand.

Then Uesugi Tetsu clicked on the flashing option of [Enter the Eternal World].

There is no point in thinking too much. The game mechanics that you don’t understand will become clear to you once you actually play it.

In an instant, Uesugi Che's eyes went dark and he fell on the bed.

……

Cold, not shaking.

The smell of rotten thatch filled his nostrils. Uesugi Che took a deep breath of the turbid and cold air, covered his head, and sat up staggeringly.

Without hesitation, he chose to transform into Laughing Prajna, and the chaos in his senses disappeared immediately.

When Uesugi Che opened his eyes, he saw the gloomy thatched house and a large amount of translucent text in front of him.

[The long, deep dive ends, and you arrive in the mortal world...]

This land, once bordering the present world, has been forgotten by all over the ages, sinking into the depths of the ocean. Even the fall of the Eternal Lord remains unknown.

[The world has lost its common master, and once different eras have fallen into one. Filth breeds in the decaying land, and evil spirits run rampant...]

[This is a paradise for demons and a hell for the living.]

[The living soul that can only transform into the weak Laughing Prajna, the future Lord of the Eternal World.]

【Welcome to the eternal world. 】

Eternal life?

In my impression, it seems to be the opposite of the "real world" in mythology where humans live...

The world where ghosts, monsters, and strange stories live.

Uesugi Che's eyes lit up.

Wouldn't the streets of this world be filled with ghosts and monsters, and moving souls everywhere?

——These are all my precious card drawing resources!

He stood up impatiently, but accidentally hit his head on something.

wow——

A faint light lit up in the dilapidated thatched hut. When Uesugi Che looked up, he saw an old and dilapidated shrine covered with cobwebs.

[You have lit up the shrine of Edo Castle.]

[Shrine: Basic anchor point. Once lit, you can use it to transfer or be reborn.]

Uesugi Che roughly understood that this was the fountain in the online game, but this was probably an online game where he was the only one playing.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Che immediately prepared to go out and explore, and by the way, kill all the monsters he encountered on the way to save resources.

Soul ashes, here I come!

[Current area unlocked: Edo Castle (4-star)]

[Main Mission 80: Explore Edo Castle at least 0%, Current Exploration Degree: %]

[Main Quest 2: Exorcist of the Demon Warrior - Ten Thousand Killers·Fang Xiang (four stars), Thousand Enemies·White Bones, Wax Figure (three and a half stars).]

[Side Quest 1: Peering from Underground - Ever since you entered Edo Castle, you seem to have sensed a vague sense of surveillance.]

Uesugi Che, who was about to push open the door of the thatched hut, was stunned for a moment. He squinted his eyes to look at the two words behind "Edo Castle". After confirming that he was not mistaken, he stood there in confusion and remained silent.

Not a buddy?

I am a young Laughing Prajna with a star and a half level, and you want me to explore a four-star map?

I'm afraid any wild monster passing by on the road could kick me to death with one kick.

And this main quest... let me, a half-star little Karami, exorcise a four-star demon warrior who can defeat ten thousand enemies?

If so, haha, then it's invincible.

But then again.

Uesugi Tetsu was lost in thought.

Risk often also means opportunity.

There are definitely more than just those monsters in the high-star maps that can kill you with one kick. There are definitely also high-star items and props that far exceed what you can currently obtain in reality and in the card pool.

And judging from the information from the shrine just now, he does not have only one life, but can be resurrected continuously in the eternal world.

Thinking about it this way, it’s not that hard to accept.

And the hints are not over yet.

[Weak future Lord of the Eternal World, please choose one of the following three identities as the foundation for your foothold in this turbulent world.]

Uesugi Tetsu looked through the three identity options at a glance and immediately made a decision in his mind.

[Hojo's son: Our clan has fallen. The Kamakura era was destroyed in a fire. Now, you are the Hojo family's only hope. Effect: Charm +10, increased reputation. Unlocks the unique special event "Revitalize the Hojo Family"]

[Walking: Since ancient times, people have measured the history and land of the world with their feet. You do the same. Effect: Increases the chance of triggering hidden events.]

[Warring States Ronin: A ronin lost in the land of the mortal world. Effect: +5 Vitality, instantly gains the "Ronin Katana," instantly gains 500 Soul Ashes, and increases Kendo training speed.]

There is no need to say much about the option of Warring States Ronin, just rule it out.

Although the "Ronin Katana" is shining with a deep blue light, it is probably a rare and good weapon. You will also immediately obtain 500 soul ash to fill the current lack of soul ash.

But it was obvious that this was a pure early-stage hero, and he wasn't facing any urgent life-or-death crisis right now. The only late-stage talent that increased his cultivation speed was limited to "Kendo".

The development scope is too narrow, pass.

As for the remaining two identities, Uesugi Tetsu thought for a moment and ruled out the "son of Hojo" who could increase his charm and reputation.

Because if he guessed correctly, the clan mentioned in "Hojo's descendants" should be the Hojo family in the late Kamakura period.

There is no problem in revitalizing the Hojo family, and maybe he can even reap many unexpected benefits because of this identity.

But the problem is that different eras in the eternal world all exist on the same land.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't want to confront the behemoth that destroyed the Hojo family as soon as he entered the world of mortals. His half-star Laughing Prajna was probably not as strong as the other party's watchdog.

In this case, the only option is to "walk".

Increasing the probability of triggering hidden events is a good idea, but how high this "probability" is is worth studying.

And Uesugi Tetsu felt that his luck had always been bad, otherwise he would not have traveled through time and space to the cold iron cabinet.

【You have selected the identity "Walking".】

His hand sank, and Uesugi Che saw a copper token covered with rust and dust appear in his palm, with unclear words written on it, which should be "walk".

Uesugi Che picked up some straws, tied a simple knot, and hung the token around his waist.

He stood there and waited for a few seconds. After confirming that no new prompts appeared, he took a deep breath again, put on the Laughing Prajna mask inlaid with the eyes of a hundred demons, and held the old hatchet in his hand, ready to stab in the back at any time.

In this state, Uesugi Tetsu even has the confidence to fight against one-star evil spirits.

Then he gently placed his palm on the door of the thatched hut.

Push it open slowly.

Chapter 7 [Work to Death] and [Moon Sand Sauce]

What comes into view is a dirt road with mud flowing slowly, and a large area of Gassho-style houses with steep eaves dripping with raindrops.

The air was filled with misty water vapor, and the low houses on both sides looked quite like the architectural style of the early Edo period.

Was Edo Castle really built during the Edo period?

Gassho-zukuri, to put it simply, is a simple wooden house with a large amount of thatch on the roof.

The reason for this name is just to distinguish the residences of ordinary people from the shops called "machiya" and the "nagaya" where craftsmen live.

But there is one thing that is very strange.

Why are houses built upside down?

Beside the Laughing Prajna, whose head and body had been separated at some point, the red-faced warrior with drooping eyes nonchalantly withdrew his gaze.

Uesugi Tetsu's consciousness fell into darkness. In his final moments, he could only curse in his heart:

"You told me this just increases the probability of triggering hidden events..."

……

A huge water pressure came.

Uesugi Che, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up sweating profusely, touched his neck tremblingly and gasped for breath, and the dry air rushed into his lungs frantically.

Looking around again, what I saw was not upside-down Gassho-zukuri houses and muddy streets, but the familiar layout of a room.

There was no red-faced ronin beside him, but a pillow printed with two-dimensional patterns that the original owner had bought early on to hold while sleeping.

Uesugi Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart rate, which had been racing all the way, gradually dropped.

He had just learned that a person can still retain consciousness and thinking for a few seconds after his head is cut off. Facts have proved that Lavoisier did not lie to everyone hundreds of years ago.
