I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

If he had used a real knife, a big hole would have been poked in his chest.

By the time a big hole was poked in his chest and he still wanted to use skill points, it was already too late.

Ogata said to himself in a decisive tone:

——If you encounter such a strong enemy in the future, you must spend your skill points before the battle begins!

——Spend skill points after the battle starts, it will be too late!

After seriously reflecting on the mistakes he made in the first round of battle, Ogata began to reflect on the second round of battle.

After seriously recalling the second round of battle with Toyama just now, Ogata found that he still made a mistake in the second round of battle.

That is - still stingy with skill points.

If he had spent all 5 skill points and 3 exclusive skill points in one go, he might have defeated Yuan Shan.

But Ogata hesitated when he clicked off these skill points.

"Skill points can't be spent casually, and future skill points will become more and more difficult to obtain, and every skill point can't be wasted" - this concept has been deeply rooted in Ogata's mind.

Because of this, Ogata dared not spend all his skill points.

Only 6 points were used, leaving 2 points.

Although Ogata thought about it carefully now, he realized that even if he had spent all his skill points just now, he might not be able to defeat Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan's current strength is too strong.

Even if he spends all his skill points, he may not be able to defeat Yuan Shan with full confidence.

"Ugh……"

Ogata sighed softly at a volume that only he could hear, and then said:

"Adding skill points... This kind of thing is far more troublesome than I imagined..."

"If you save it, you may encounter a situation where you can't spend it in time..."

"If you use up the skill points as soon as you have them, you may encounter the situation of 'you will hate less when you use them'..."

"……Um?"

At this moment, an idea suddenly appeared in Ogata's mind.

——Although skill points are very precious, they cannot be used casually.

——But as long as I don’t waste every skill point, wouldn’t it be fine?

——At this stage, the least wasteful way to add skill points should be...to add all of them to personal attributes...

——A person with a strong physique takes advantage of everything in battle.

—— Let the body become stronger first, there should be nothing wrong.

——As long as I add all the skill points to my personal attributes and turn me into a "Superman", then even if my sword skill level is very low, I can easily defeat all opponents...

——No matter how good the swordsmanship is, he should not be able to defeat a superman who can "resist a hundred tripods", right?

——Even if my level of sword skills is very low, if I have the power of "strength against a hundred cauldrons", even if I only know how to slash, I can still easily defeat my opponent...

——In this way, it doesn't matter whether the level of sword skill is high or low...

——As long as my personal attributes are high enough...

"Spend all skill points on personal attributes and make yourself a 'Superman'" - this idea lingered in Ogata's mind, and it has not dissipated for a long time.

……

……

A few days later—

In the first year of Kanzheng, 179 A.D., May 5——

Today is a special day for Ogata... no, it should be said that it is a special day for all the treasury officials of the Hirose Clan including Ogata.

Today is the day when the lord of the Hirose Domain and their lord, Matsudaira Gennai, inspects the various warehouses in the domain.

Early in the morning, all the treasury officials put on their robes and took their positions.

The 裃 is the dress of the samurai.

It will only be worn on special events and occasions such as meeting your own lord.

Ogata doesn't like to wear samurai.

The reason why I don't like to wear polo, on the one hand, is because I'm not used to wearing it, and it feels very twisted.

Another reason is because Ogata felt that Li was ugly.

Ogata couldn't appreciate the dress of the samurai.

Ogata felt that the style of the gun was very similar to the battle uniforms worn by people in the famous manga he had read in the modern earth - "Dragon Race".

There are many warehouses with different functions in the Hirose Domain.

There are warehouses dedicated to storing weapons.

There are warehouses dedicated to storing food.

There are warehouses dedicated to storing salt.

……

The warehouse officials were also divided into several groups and stationed in each warehouse, so that when Matsudaira Yuannei inspected each warehouse, someone would come to introduce him to the storage situation of the warehouse.

Ogata was stationed in a warehouse dedicated to storing salt.

In addition to Ogata, the people who were also stationed in the warehouse dedicated to storing salt included four of Ogata's colleagues and one superior in rank above him.

The boss above him is named Inoue.

Ogata's task today is actually very easy.

Among all treasury officers, his rank is the lowest.

Naturally, a small character like him would not be assigned any important tasks.

In the case of Matsudaira Gennai, Ogata only needs to kneel on the ground with his four colleagues to welcome Matsudaira Gennai's arrival.

As for various troublesome matters such as leading Matsudaira Gennai to visit the salt warehouse and explaining the various storage conditions of the salt warehouse, Ogata's boss, Inoue, is in charge.

Chapter 25 Ito Issou-ryu is exempt from being passed on [Please recommend!Ask for collection! 】

Ogata could tell——Inoue was quite nervous right now.

Ogata and the others are standing outside the gate of the Yanba Warehouse, waiting for Matsudaira Gennai's arrival.

Since just now, Inoue has been taking out his handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

Inoue was already over 40 years old, and this age was already considered an old man in the Edo period.

Looking at Inoue's legs that were constantly trembling due to tension, Ogata couldn't help but worry about him.

"Master Inoue." Ogata asked Inoue, "Are you okay? Do you want to try to take a few deep breaths? If you keep taking deep breaths, you may feel better."

"No." Inoue smiled wryly and shook his head, "No need. I've already taken deep breaths until my chest hurts..."

Compared to Inoue's nervousness, Ogata was much more relaxed.

When Matsudaira Gennai came, he only needed to kneel on the ground.

Apart from kneeling on the ground and welcoming the arrival of the lord, Ogata didn't have to do anything else.

So Ogata didn't feel nervous, and even hoped that Matsudaira Gennai would come to inspect the Yanba warehouse sooner, so that they would be relieved sooner.

……

……

While Ogata and the others were waiting for Matsudaira Gennai's arrival, a samurai hurried towards Ogata and the others.

Ogata recognized the samurai - also one of the treasury officers.

But Ogata didn't know him very well, he just recognized him as one of his colleagues, other than that, Ogata didn't even know his name.

The fellow warehouse officer rushed to the front and back of Ogata and the others, and said anxiously:

"The lord is coming! Hurry up and prepare!"

As soon as the samurai finished speaking, Inoue turned his head and said to Ogata and the others in an anxious tone:

"Quick! Get down on your knees! The lord is here!"

After saying that, Inoue took the lead in kneeling on the ground, buried his head so deeply that his forehead almost touched the ground.

After Inoue fell to his knees, Ogata and the others followed closely behind.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Inoue and Ogata's colleagues all slowed down their breathing, not even daring to breathe.

Ogata couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Gradually——Ogata gradually heard the sound of footsteps and horseshoes approaching from far and near to his left.

Judging from the loudness of footsteps and horseshoes - there were quite a few people coming.

Ogata could only see the soil in front of the tip of his nose because his hands were on the ground and his forehead was almost touching the ground, but he couldn't see anything else.

Therefore, it is natural that the lord and his party who are walking slowly towards the Yanba warehouse cannot be seen.

Ogata couldn't see it.

At the same time, I dare not look at it.

In this day and age, to look up at one's lord without permission is a felony punishable by beheading.

Ogata didn't dare to try his own tricks, and threw his head away just to catch a glimpse of the lord.

……

……

Soon, the dense footsteps and horseshoes finally stopped in front of Ogata and the others.

Da da.

Ogata heard the sound of his feet landing on the ground.

Somebody who was riding must have jumped from his horse.

"All raise your heads."

An extremely indifferent male voice, whose tone seemed to contain no emotion, entered the ears of Ogata and the others.

"Thank you, my lord!" Led by Inoue, Ogata and the others shouted "Thank you" in unison.

After raising his head, Xu conveniently saw a young man standing not far in front of them.

The young man is wearing a kimono with a light yellow color as the main color.

Although Ogata didn't know much about clothes, he could tell that the cloth used for this young man's clothes was quite advanced.

I don't know how many years of Ogata's salary is needed to buy such a set of clothes.

In addition, the wakizashi that this young man put on his waist can be seen to be expensive just from the handle and scabbard of the knife.

The young man's face was extremely pale.

Ogata originally thought that the reason why the young man's face was so pale was because of the makeup powder.

But after taking a closer look, Ogata realized that it wasn't like that.

The young man did not apply any cosmetics on his face.

His face was so pale.

The bloodless face looked very creepy.

The lips were thin, and they were as pale as his face.

The eyes are very thin, the eyes are dull, and they look careless.

At such a young age, wearing such exquisite clothes, and wearing such a precious sword on his waist, the identity of this young man is self-evident—it is the lord of the Hirose Domain and the lord of Ogata and the others: Matsudaira Gennai.

Behind Matsudaira Gennai stood an extremely tall and strong man.
