I just decided not to be a person who saves skill points. I want to add all the skill points now and in the future to my personal attributes to make myself a superman. In the future, I can defeat the enemy just by ordinary slashing, but the result is only passed.
Within a few minutes, the cold reality came to Ogata - even if he increased his agility to 10,000 points, there was no way he could become Superman.
The characteristic of the system that "the higher the personal attribute value is, the lower the increase will be after adding points" directly limits Ogata's upper limit, and there is no way he can "withstand a hundred cauldrons" or "one jump".
Thirty-foot-tall Superman.
After scratching his hair and feeling annoyed for a moment, Ogata began to reorganize his thoughts.
——Okay... now let’s sort out all the features of the system that are currently known...
——Instead of spending points on sword skills, use all points on personal attributes... This method is no longer feasible...
——When my personal attribute value becomes very high, the cost-effectiveness of adding more points will become extremely low...
——But my current attribute values are still very low, and the current price-performance ratio of spending points on them is still very high.
——So it is still worthwhile to spend points on personal attribute values.
——I have somewhat figured out some of the features of this system...
——The level of each sword skill is still very important!
——Compared to the cost-effectiveness of improving personal attributes, which will continue to become lower and lower, the cost-effectiveness of improving sword skill level should always be very high!
——So after improving your personal attribute values, you have to focus on adding points to the levels of each sword skill...
——When personal attribute values are still very low, it will be worthwhile to spend skill points on improving personal attribute values.
——After the personal attribute value becomes higher, the importance of sword skill level will increase linearly...
——So now that the value of each personal attribute value is very low, my focus is on "personal attribute value".
——Then slowly shift the focus towards "sword skill level"...
After sorting out all the currently known features of the system, Ogata reorganized a new "point-adding plan".
But after sorting out a new "point-adding plan", a new doubt emerged in Ogata's mind.
——As long as the level of martial arts school increases by one level, I can get 2 skill points...
——Then can I learn 100 martial arts styles in one go?
——After learning all the swordsmanship schools such as Ito Itto-ryu and Katori Shinto-ryu, can I keep collecting skill points?
——When the level of each genre is still low, it is very convenient to upgrade.
——As long as I can learn 100 martial arts styles, and after reaching 5 levels in each style, I will immediately change to a new style to practice, wouldn’t I be able to easily accumulate hundreds of skill points...?
——Using these hundreds of skill points to support the skills of certain schools, I can instantly become the strongest swordsman in the world...
——But...since this system can limit the growth of my body functions...
——It is very likely that the system will also have extremely high restrictions on the practice of "relying on learning various martial arts schools to earn skill points"...
Ogata lowered his head and thought for a long time.
Finally, he seemed to have given up thinking and sighed softly.
——Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
——I’m just thinking about it here, and I can’t think of any restrictions this system will impose on me.
——When I have the opportunity to learn a new swordsmanship style in the future, I will slowly experiment with what kind of restrictions the system will give me.
After deciding to temporarily put aside his thoughts on the various functions and limitations of the system, Ogata picked up the wooden sword and walked slowly into the center of the dojo, preparing to start today's practice.
…
…
When Ogata started today's practice——
Yuan Shan strode toward his house.
Unlike Ogata, whose annual salary is only 50 dan, Yuanshan's annual salary is a full 250 dan.
This level of annual salary is enough for a large family to live a decent life.
Because his annual salary is five times that of Ogata, Toyama's home is far more elegant than Ogata's home.
Opening the entrance hall, Yuanshan saw a young girl kneeling respectfully in front of the door.
"Welcome home!" the young girl shouted loudly.
"Yes." Yuan Shan nodded coldly, then handed the long and short sabers around his waist to the young woman.
After receiving the sword from Yuanshan, this young woman stood up and walked towards the knife rest in the house with small steps.
This young girl is Yuanshan’s wife whom he married half a year ago—Ashi.
Yuan Shan doesn't like his wife very much.
There are many reasons for dislike.
The first reason: The marriage between Yuanshan and Ashi was forcibly arranged by Yuanshan's father.
Ashi is the daughter of an old business friend of Yuanshan's father.
When Yuan Shan was very young, under the arrangement of his father, he had been engaged to Ashi.
Ever since Yuan Shan was a child, he had not had a good impression of his wife, whom he married by fingertips.
The second reason is that Yuanshan doesn't appreciate his wife's character very much.
Ash's courage is really too small.
He is the kind of person who doesn't want to take any risks and just wants to live a peaceful life.
It’s okay to be timid, but Ash is also very stupid.
Ash's kind of stupidity is not the kind of stupidity that comes from lack of intelligence.
It's the kind of stupidity that wants to use money to solve any problem.
Ash's father is a wealthy businessman.
Perhaps due to the influence of his father, no matter what problems Ash encounters, he always thinks of using money to solve them.
Ash once did a ridiculous thing that left a deep impression on Yuan Shan until now.
Ash's father once attended a private calligraphy gathering.
Let's all discuss together and compete in calligraphy - this is the content of this calligraphy meeting.
But who would have thought that in order to let his father win, Ash actually went to bribe the organizer of this calligraphy fair with money.
After her father found out about this incident, he scolded Ashi severely and told him not to do such ridiculous things again.
As for whether Ash actually listened to her father's teachings, Yuan Shan didn't know.
Apart from being a little stupid, Ashi doesn't have any other shortcomings. He is quite pretty and is quite diligent in doing housework.
Taking off his straw sandals and socks, Yuanshan strode into the house.
After sitting carelessly on the tatami, Yuanshan shouted:
"Bring me the wine!"
As soon as Toyama finished speaking, Ashi quickly brought over a small pot of sake and a wine glass.
Having a few drinks after returning home is a habit in the mountains.
While Yuan Shan was sipping his wine, Ash knelt down quietly and sat aside.
In the past, Ah Shi would have just watched Yuan Shan drink quietly, waiting for Yuan Shan to finish drinking before taking the wine and the glass away.
But this is not the case with Ash today.
Sitting on his knees next to Yuan Shan, Ash seemed to have something to say to Yuan Shan, but hesitated.
It wasn't until Yuanshan almost drank all the wine in the bottle that Ash finally mustered up the courage to ask Yuanshan:
"Dana, I heard today... that you had a duel with Ogata Isei from Sakakihara Kenkan a few days ago... Is this true?"
"Oh, that's it." Yuan Shan responded in a calm tone while continuing to pour wine into the wine glass in his hand.
Toyama naturally knew about his duel with Ogata, and it was widely spread in these days.
Although this matter is not something worth boasting about, it is not something embarrassing that cannot be known to others.
So Yuanshan just allowed this matter to spread wildly everywhere.
"Yes." Toyama said bluntly, "That rumor is absolutely correct. A few days ago, I played 2 games with Ogata from Sakakihara Kenkan. I won the first game. As for the second game
...Although it was interrupted by the sudden arrival of Tongxin in the end, we were indeed tied."
"Is that Ogata so strong..." Asami murmured, "I remember that the strongest person among the disciples at Sakakibara Sword Hall was Mikami, wasn't he..."
"Ha..." Toyama sneered, "That Mikami was just the strongest person in the Sakakibara Sword Hall before."
"He was once the strongest person in the Sakakibara Sword Hall, but that doesn't mean he will always be the strongest person."
"Swordsmanship is a skill where if you are not careful, your level will be far behind."
"I will probably have a third match with that Ogata soon."
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
"That Ogata is very strong. According to my guess, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to become the leader of the upcoming competition at the Sakakibara Sword Hall."
"I know the rules of the Sakakihara Kenkan."
"After Ogata becomes the chief of this grand competition in the hall, he will have to participate in the God Sacrifice Competition."
"I am still the one representing the Ishikawa Kenkan in the God Sacrifice Competition this year."
"So - I will be able to fight that Ogata again soon!"
Having said this, the pupils of Yuanshan began to shine with a captivating light.
"Next time, I will definitely defeat Ogata Issei beautifully!"
"...But..." Ashi said cautiously, "Dana...are you really sure of defeating that Ogata?"
