Tokyo Juggernaut 2077

——Why does it feel like an inexplicable sense of guilt?

Yuan Ye thought so, turned off the social software, communicated with Shiori Hoshino again, and approached the house marked by the address given by the client.

After Yuan Ye approached the client's house, the door sensed his arrival and opened automatically. He turned off the night vision mode that was turned on because the sky was getting dark quickly, thought for a while, and walked directly into the house.

===Chapter 50 Psionic Energy and Qi===

After Yuan Ye entered the house, the door of the house was automatically closed.

——Why is this scene so familiar? Can they find someone to open the door? It's always the same as a supernatural event.

But Yuan Ye thought about it again, this era is basically intelligent furniture controlled through the network, the situation just now is actually normal, but he, the traverser, is really not used to it.

But what is even more uncomfortable is the decoration of this house. The weird color scheme and strange placement give people an irresistible sense of nausea, which makes people very uncomfortable.

After the smart butler gave the information the master was preparing, Yuan Ye randomly found a sofa in the lobby and sat down, waiting for the client to arrive.

But before the client arrived, two messages popped up on Yuan Ye's personal terminal, reminding him that there was a new signal connection - Shiori Hoshino's drone surveillance array went online first.

"Is the signal still working?" Yuan Ye said to the headset he was wearing.

"No problem, the signal is good." Hoshino Shiori replied.

Today's weather conditions are very good, and the drone surveillance array can observe the terrain of about five kilometers, which is enough to deal with the attack.

When Yuan Ye was communicating with Hoshino Shiori, the client finally showed up.

The client who walked down the stairs slowly was a thin old man with a cane. He looked like an old man who needed protection from others, but Yuan Ye felt that he looked familiar.

Yuan Ye felt a little strange, so he directly asked Hoshino Shiori in the channel and asked her to search based on the client's photos.

Before the client could walk down slowly, Hoshino Shiori heard the client's detailed information.

Ito Taketa, 112 years old, Minato thought he looked familiar because his photo was hung on the wall of his school Kendo club. He was invited to come when Tokyo implemented the capital reform and established many digital public middle schools. I visited the Kendo Club, and was once hailed as a swordsman in the early 21st century—of course, this is very likely to be bragging. Before he was born, the genetic adjustment technology hadn't been seen yet, and it was almost impossible to reach the carbon-based limit.

These exaggerated titles, as well as the "like an ant" label on the old man's head, made Yuan Ye more suspicious, so he took the initiative to greet him.

"Mr. Ito." Yuan Ye asked, "Excuse me, are you my client?"

"If you were introduced by the drone, that's it." Taketa Ito responded with a smile, looking like an amiable old man.

"Are you wondering why I hired a bodyguard? Obviously I have the title of swordsman." Taketa Ito narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Ye, "And I want to use this special method to find a bodyguard. Obviously I have the title of swordsman." With a shout, there are a lot of people who are willing to act as my guards for free, and even those who exceed the limit of the carbon base can be found everywhere."

"Everyone who accepts this commission will have such questions when they see me." Taketa Ito deliberately pretended, "It's just that some of them will know the answers to these questions, and some will not. I can guarantee that everyone who took over this mission left here intact."

Yuan Ye heard from his words that this entrustment is probably not an urgent entrustment, but has been announced so that many people can pick it up. The guy with the drone probably took advantage of the poor information to deceive himself. A sum, which made Yuan Ye secretly scold this fraudulent informant in his heart.

"You mean that you actually don't need a bodyguard at all. Is there something else you want to announce this commission?" Yuan Ye asked tentatively, "Is this commission a fake? In fact, there are no enemies at all?"

"Indeed, you are one of the smarter group." Taketa Ito nodded, "But there are still enemies."

"But before announcing the answer, let's talk about your reward." Taketa Ito walked to the other end of the living room and took down the sword hanging on the wall. "This is the gas-containing item you are looking for."

"It's not a precious thing, it's essentially an ancient knife made by modern technology. After you really have Qi, you will find that this kind of thing can be made no matter how much you want."

"Of course, for those who have crossed the carbon-based limit, the fragile swords made in ancient times are more convenient." Like a real old man, Taketa Ito kept talking about what he knew , "For the operation of qi, a certain structure is more suitable for its use. This structure is actually not conducive to the increase of the material strength of the weapon."

"Thus, for warriors who have trained their Qi, it is easier to infuse Qi into the fragile ancient swords that are not as refined as modern technology." Taketa Ito said somewhat mockingly, "This is also an ancient sword made by modern technology in recent years. The reason why it became popular is nothing more than the effect of the upper and lower."

"Here you go, it doesn't matter if you pay this amount in advance." Taketa Ito threw the knife to Yuan Ye indifferently.

Yuan Ye took the knife, and the moment his body touched the knife, a warm current flowed into his body along his fingertips.

"Your body and Qi are very compatible, and you are still far away from the carbon base, so you can store spiritual energy in your body." Taketa Ito was a little surprised, "Have you undergone genetic adjustment? "

"No." Yuan Ye told the truth.

"Then you are really lucky to have a good body." Taketa Ito admired, "In this way, you can reach the carbon-based limit with only repeated mechanical exercises. If you are fighting over the head, if it is the son of a commoner, then the wealthy family who wants you to marry into their family will desperately send their own women of the right age to your bed."

"It's just luck." Yuan Ye guessed that the high degree of fit between his body and Qi may be because his physical fitness was directly upgraded by him. For the human body in this world, it is obvious that the body that can operate the structure of Qi With a perfect structure, what the system gives him may be to directly adjust his body to the perfect structure of his current physical fitness.

Yuan Ye said a few words, pretended to watch, pulled out the knife, and opened his own label by the reflection of the mirror.

[Number of spiritual powers: 130]

The appearance of the new sub-item made Yuan Ye excited instantly, which confirmed his long-standing guess that psionic energy and harmony are actually a kind of thing.

In this way, as long as you keep looking for items containing gas, you can continuously accumulate psionic energy, or simply find a person who exceeds the limit of the carbon base, and arrest him as a psionic energy production machine-of course, this is unlikely, now The source of the night is afraid that it will shatter at the touch of someone who exceeds the limit of the carbon base.

Yuan Ye tried it out, and found that he could use this psionic energy to add points to skills or physical fitness, but he didn't find an option to use psionic energy to increase lifespan. Fortunately, Yuan Ye has always been more restrained in adding points to the lifespan of the point-adding system. He now has His lifespan is not short, not to mention that with the improvement of his physical fitness, his physical lifespan will inevitably increase, which is undoubtedly profitable.

After finishing the short research, Minato put his sword back into its sheath, and asked Sato Taketa the question he had been burying in his heart: "What exactly is Qi?"

===Chapter 51 Psionic Energy and Qi===

"This question is very good. In fact, this question is the fundamental driving force for the advancement of qi research." Taketa Ito smiled and replied, "But it is a pity that no one in this world currently knows the answer. Including me, I am afraid that there is no one in the world who can answer this question for you."

"I just took two small steps forward in the extraordinary realm." Taketa Ito sighed, "Let me tell you a story. This story may help you understand what qi is."

"Before telling this story, you must first understand that qi is an energy that goes against common sense." Taketa Ito thought for a while, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, "I can't say it's against common sense, I can only say that it doesn't conform to human common sense. , which is very consistent with the mathematical model."

"Under this premise, come and listen to the story I told."

Suppose there is a completely fictional world, there are two people, let's call them Taro and Jiro.

Both Taro and Jiro are top swordsmen. In other words, they have both practiced Qi, but their swordsmanship strength is almost the same. One day, they will meet for a duel. Through a real sword duel, the world will be decided with sword and blood. The title of the first swordsman.

Taro is a child of a big family. He is romantic and spends his days drinking and drinking. His swordsmanship is only due to his noble blood, natural talent, coupled with his family's illustrious family, relying on the family's large resources to reach this level.

Jiro, on the other hand, was born in a poor family. He has been scorned since he was a child, and relied on the selection of the killer organization to kill all the way from the bottom. He used the corpses of his enemies to achieve his superb swordsmanship.

After the two agreed to a duel, Taro still did not change his mind, lingering on the cotton bed all day long, not to mention the increase in strength, even if he did not retreat, it would be difficult.

Jiro, on the other hand, continued to practice almost self-abuse. It can be said that his strength is improving every minute and every second, and his swordsmanship is becoming more and more refined.

As the date of the duel approached day by day, Taro found that Kazuro's strength was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a completely unignorable difference unknowingly. Fighting each other, I am afraid that I will be decapitated by Jiro in an instant.

But they were the two strongest swordsmen in the world. Taro couldn't find someone else to get rid of Jiro in advance, so he came up with a trick. I bought it, turned it into a theater or a storytelling stand, and then recruited a few scholars to write a few novels and plays with Taro as the protagonist, boasting that Taro is the world's number one swordsman. The storytelling booth interpreted these things loudly for Jiro to listen to.

When Taketa Ito talked about this, he deliberately paused, and asked Yuan Ye with a smile: "What do you think will be the result of the final duel?"

"It's just that Jiro lost to Taro because of interference, or Jiro withstood the pressure and defeated Taro." Yuan Ye tried to guess.

"Indeed, the corresponding plots in novels, movies, animations, and various entertainment works are all deduced in this way, and they are all results that are very in line with ordinary people's logic." Takeda Ito laughed, "If you don't know the relevant plots at all, case, I have yet to see anyone who can guess the answer."

"Actually, Jiro withstood the interference. Instead, he used these interferences to sharpen his sword heart and improve his swordsmanship to a higher level." Taketa Ito narrowed his eyes again and looked at Yuan Ye, "But He still lost in the end."

"Why?" Yuan Ye, who was always very qualified as a listener, asked in a timely manner.

On the day of the final duel, Jiro came to the duel venue with his sword, and started the final duel with Taro.

As a top swordsman, even though he knew that Taro was addicted to sensuality, he still had to test, so both Jiro and Taro used almost one-tenth of their own strength to test the opponent, although the total strength was much different. , but once it is cut to one-tenth, the sword skills of the two will not be much different.

Therefore, the two of them maintained a balance of power at the beginning, but as the duel progressed, Jiro discovered that Taro was becoming stronger.

Not only is Taro getting stronger, but he is also getting weaker. This discovery made Jiro terrified, and he quickly increased his output, but as the battle continued, Jiro found that this situation intensified. In the end, Jiro was defeated by Taro's sword , had an arm severed.

"Did Taro use some trick again?" Yuan Ye asked proactively.

"No, after the duel, Jiro also scolded Taro angrily, suspecting that Taro had practiced some evil skills and absorbed his own skills." Taketa Ito said slowly, "But Taro gave a reply, saying that he was in his own woman He didn't even have enough beds, how could he have that kind of free time to practice those evil skills? He didn't know why, but he became stronger inexplicably during the duel. Originally, he still came with the heart of death, maybe He's talented."

"No one could give an answer to this question in the era of Taro and Jiro, but as the research on qi continued to deepen, later generations finally figured out the reason for Taro's victory." Taketa Ito said in a strange tone talk.

This tone made Yuan Ye a little uncomfortable, and made him irritable, but Yuan Ye, who was eager to know the answer, still endured it, and asked in a hurry: "What's the reason?"

"Because Taro's propaganda offensive made Jiro believe that Taro is the best swordsman in the world, so Taro won." Ito Taketa still spoke in that tone.

"What kind of logic is this? Jiro believes that Taro is the number one swordsman in the world, and Taro becomes the number one swordsman in the world?" Yuan Ye was a little confused and complained subconsciously, but he immediately realized the logical problem in his words , after understanding that logic, Yuan Ye instantly knew the reason for Taro's victory.

Ito Taketa looked at Yuan Ye's changing face, and helped him say what he thought of with satisfaction: "Qi is the energy that moves with the change of the heart, so as long as Jiro believes in his heart that Taro is the best swordsman in the world, Jiro's qi will help him achieve this idea, whether he wants to do it or not, as long as he believes in his heart, Jiro's qi will flow out of his body, bless Taro, and help him become stronger. "

"That's the end of the story." Taketa Ito suddenly changed the subject and asked, "In your impression, what kind of person am I?"

Itoh Taketa's tone seemed to have a different kind of magic power, which led Yuan Ye to subconsciously reply: "A modern swordsman in the 21st century should have cultivated his Qi."

As soon as Yuan Ye finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Yuan Ye instantly let go of the sword that Taketa Ito handed him, but he could still feel something inexplicable flowing out of his body.

Pulling out the sword he was carrying, Yuan Ye turned on his system with the reflection of the blade, and found that the number of psionic energy had dropped from 130 to 100.

Yuan Ye knew that if he didn't do something, the amount of psionic energy would continue to decrease. Although there were still many things that he hadn't figured out, the current situation didn't allow him to think about it, so he waved the sword in his hand and slashed at Ito Wutai's neck.

===Chapter 52 Levitating bullets===

"Young people, don't be too anxious." Ito Taketa raised his crutches and blocked Yuan Ye's sword path. Although he blocked Yuan Ye's attack, the crutches were also blown away by Yuan Ye's strength.

An attack failed, out of caution, Yuan Ye opened the distance to prevent Ito Taketa from counterattacking.

Yuan Ye glanced at the combat power gap label on Taketa Ito's head, and found that it was still [Like an ant. 】

--too weird.

——Why hasn't the gap in combat power changed? It's all over the table. Hasn't he shown his true strength yet?

——The system will not go wrong, there must be something wrong.

Yuan Ye raised his mind, wanting Taketa Ito to take the initiative to attack, and he counterattacked to find an opportunity, but Taketa Ito still stood there smiling, without any action.

Adding points requires concentration, and now it’s not like the battle machine Baiyi, who knows the attack power and distance of the enemy. If the attention is diverted, Ito Taketa suddenly attacks violently, it will be troublesome.

- Taketa Ito is garbage, Taketa Ito is garbage.

But the warm current flowing out of Yuan Ye's body made him have to make some attempts. After he started to meditate in his heart, the speed of the outflow of Qi slowed down, but it still didn't stop.

"It's a very smart decision, and psychological hints to yourself are indeed a way to quickly change your mind." Taketa Ito looked at Yuan Ye with some approval, "After you heard the story just now, you must be wondering why Jiro lost. .”

"Even though qi is the energy that moves with the change of the mind, but that is actually the number one swordsman in the world. Is his sword heart so fragile?" Continue to explain, "Of course not, I have emphasized in the story that Jiro actually withstood the pressure, and also used this pressure to hone his sword heart and make his swordsmanship go to a higher level."

But now Yuan Ye has no patience to listen to Taketa Ito's nonsense. Although these spiritual powers come for nothing, he has not reached the carbon-based limit, and his body will not produce gas, but no one knows that these spiritual powers will disappear completely. After he dies, will his psionic energy continue to be lost? At that time, the lifespan may be consumed.

So Yuan Ye chose to continue the attack, slashed horizontally, and aimed at Taketa Ito's throat again.

This attack was dodged by Ito Takeshi with a slight difference, and the next few slashes all got the same result.

——His muscles obviously didn't move at all, why did his body move?

Yuan Ye concentrated on analyzing Ito Taketa's body, but didn't get any information. It was like facing a stone statue, or facing an ordinary person who had no idea of ​​action at all.

——No, the skin moved, he was pushed away by external force, is he using Qi to move himself?

"Very exquisite swordsmanship." Ito Taketa still maintained a high degree of praise, "In the years I have lived, there are very few people who can have your swordsmanship at your age, really very few, so few that even after After a long time, I can still remember the names of each of them."

"Are you curious, even though my own experience tells me that the body on the other side didn't take any action, but I can still dodge your attack?" Taketa Ito said with a smile, "Your experience didn't lie to you Of course, a swordsman with superb swordsmanship will cover up the movement of his muscles, what's more, he can even make the movement direction shown by the superficial muscles completely different from his real movement direction."

"But unfortunately, I am not. Maybe I used to have this ability, but now I am just an old man who is exhausted and is about to reach the end of his life. There is nothing to be afraid of." Taketa Ito said with emotion said in a tone.

Yuan Ye put aside Taketa Ito's words, or in other words, his ears heard these words, and his brain remembered them, but his brain did not allocate any resources to understand the meaning of the language, and he concentrated on , and entered the black and white world composed only of dots and lines.
