Chapter 13 The Great Competition in the Museum and the Competition of the Gods (1)
In this peaceful era, even though Ogata doesn't know what he is going to do or where to go in the future, Ogata knows that there is nothing wrong with making himself stronger.
This system in his mind was the foundation for his survival in the Edo period.
Relying on this system to make yourself stronger is definitely not a wrong thing.
If you don't quickly rely on the system in your mind to become stronger, it will be a waste of resources and a waste of the system in your mind.
After 10 days of hard training, Ogata's personal level and Sakakibara Itto-ryu level are about to be upgraded.
The personal level is only 150 experience points short of being promoted to level 9.
Sakakihara's Itto-ryu level is only 200 experience points short of reaching 5th dan.
At that point, you will be able to gain skill points again.
On his first day in the Edo period, Ogata upgraded the Sakakibara Itto-ryu level by defeating Brother Mikami and gained 2 skill points.
Ogata still retains these two skill points to this day and has not used them to improve his personal attributes or upgrade his sword skills.
The reason why I didn't add any points was because Ogata wanted to be cautious.
Skill points are quite precious and should not be used casually - this is the conclusion Ogata came to after investigating the system for the first time.
Good steel must be used on the blade.
When you encounter a strong enemy in the future, you can activate these skills and use them in a targeted manner.
On his first day in the Edo period, when competing with senior brother Mikami, Ogata used the only skill point he had at the time to improve his general agility.
After feeling that there was nothing interesting about his personal interface, Xu conveniently closed the system interface in his mind and returned his attention to reality.
As soon as Ogata returned his attention to reality, a soft female voice suddenly sounded beside Ogata:
"Lord Ogata."
Ogata followed the sound.
The person who spoke was none other than Afu, the only maid in the house.
Ah Fu was now looking at Ogata with a smile on his face, holding a plate in his hand with a small pot of sake and a few skewers of glutinous rice balls on it.
Looking at the pot of sake and the bunches of glutinous rice balls, Ogata smiled helplessly.
"Miss Afu, you always treat me to food like this, I will feel embarrassed..."
"Lord Ogata, please don't be polite. Consider this our thank you gift and accept it with peace of mind. Without your help, we would not be able to do business properly now."
After saying that, Ah Fu placed the plate with sake and glutinous rice balls beside Ogata, then turned back to the kitchen and continued to help Asaki prepare the food.
Ogata looked at Afu's back, which had disappeared from his sight, and then at the pot of sake and the bunches of glutinous rice balls beside him.
After sighing helplessly, Ogata directly picked up the pot of sake and drank it.
Ever since she became the "security guard" of Ryuya, Asaki would treat Ogata to drinks and food every two days.
This made Ogata feel a little embarrassed.
Because Ogata always feels that his workload is not too big, he always eats and drinks from others, which is really a bit embarrassing.
Ogata also expressed or hinted to Asaki and Afu more than once that they no longer need to invite him to eat or drink, but they never listened to Ogata's words and continued to entertain him warmly.
Ogata.
Ogata also tasted sake from the Edo period for the first time because of the hospitality given by Asaki and the others.
When he was on Earth before, Ogata didn't think sake was that delicious.
But I don’t know if it was because of the lack of delicious food and drink after arriving in the Edo period that the taste was too bland. After Ogata drank the sake served by Afu for the first time, he found it quite delicious.
From then on, Oconi fell in love with drinking sake.
Ogata sipped the sake from the pot in small sips and nibbled on the bunches of glutinous rice balls.
Ogata's salary is calculated daily, so Ogata can receive his salary from Asaki every day.
Thanks to this part-time job, Ogata's quality of life has finally improved slightly. Now he can eat porridge with more rice in every meal.
At the same time, you can also eat some snacks prepared by Asaki and Ah Fu from time to time every night, adding some salty and sweet taste in your mouth.
Although the current quality of life is not completely different from the previous quality of life, it is still completely different.
Through these 10 days of getting along, Ogata also gradually understood some of the past events of Asaki and Afu.
Asaki is a widow.
Two years ago, his husband, who ran an izakaya, died of illness.
I have to say that losing my husband at such a young age is quite unfortunate.
But Asaki is quite strong.
Relying on the experience of running an izakaya that she learned from her late husband, she opened a new izakaya that belongs to her alone - this is the ryuya.
Ah Fu is an orphan who was almost sold to a brothel.
At that time, Ah Fu didn't even have a name.
In an extremely accidental situation, Asaki met Afu.
Asaki felt sorry for Ah Fu's life experience, so she bought Ah Fu, named her "A Fu", and asked her to serve as a maid in the house.
Therefore, Asaki can be regarded as Ah Fu’s adoptive mother.
Thinking of this, Oome admired Asaki even more.
Asaki is a widow, running an izakaya with her adopted daughter without the help of any man - this is really strong.
…
…
The next day——
Early in the morning——
The time Ogata hates most every day is during the day.
Because every day during the day, Ogata had to deal with the tedious work of the warehouse officer.
Full of extremely unhappy mood, Ogata stepped into his office.
Ogata's colleagues have basically sat down at their desks and started working on their own.
——Oh, let’s start working...
Ogata sat in front of his desk with a mentality of going to the execution ground.
However, as soon as Ogata's butt touched his heel, an old voice suddenly came from one side of the room:
"Um...everyone! Stop what you are doing! I have something important to explain to you."
As soon as this old voice fell, Oufang and the other colleagues in the room stopped what they were doing and followed the sound.
The person who spoke was Ogata's boss, the "leader" of their group of warehouse officers.
After everyone in the room focused their attention on the boss, the boss cleared his throat and then continued:
"Everyone should cheer up from now on."
"In five days - that is, on May 20th, the Lord will come to inspect the inventory of various materials in our Hirose Domain treasury."
