Doesn’t the star skill have a cooldown time?

"Buzz——"

Soon, Li Guanqi was completely hypnotized.

"Translate! Translate! Translate for me quickly!!!"

Shinji Tokugawa looked excited and stood nearby and shouted continuously.

At this moment, facing the artifact so close at hand and revealing his true nature, Tokugawa Shinji no longer showed the gentleness and stability he had before, as if he were two completely different people from before.

One of the Nine Sakura Warriors, the Tokugawa family.

Tokugawa Shinji, who was born into a noble family, has pretended to be elegant all his life. Those so-called aristocratic temperaments have been deeply penetrated into his flesh and blood, allowing him to face people with low cultivation levels such as "Sakuragi Hanamichi".

Maintain a certain level of gentleness and courtesy.

Staying high but not looking down upon those below is an elegant virtue in the Sakura Shogunate.

However, after pretending for a lifetime, the elegance that has penetrated into the flesh and blood has never been engraved in the bones.

At this moment, facing the artifact that he had been dreaming about all his life, Tokugawa Shinji's excitement could no longer be described in words, and he was no longer in the mood to maintain that bullshit aristocratic elegance!

"The tablet says, What is the end of life?"

Li Guanqi, who was under hypnosis, looked at the puzzle slate and four stone tablets and said dullly: "The red stone tablet says that there is no end, death is the end.

The green stone tablet says, Become the strongest.

The blue stone tablet says that there is no end, but if you continue to live, you may be able to find it.

The yellow stone tablet says, Eat, drink, have fun, enjoy life, get the most wealth, play with the most luxurious things, and sleep with the most beautiful women."

"Um?"

Hearing these words, Tokugawa Shinji's original excitement was extinguished in an instant, "The end of life...the end of life..."

After all, he was a top expert at the Jiugong level. He quickly stabilized his emotions, kept himself calm, and began to continue thinking about what the answer to this puzzle should be.

This thought lasted only a few minutes.

During this period, Li Guanqi also automatically exited the hypnotic state.

"Shunkong, doesn't it mean that the star technique has a cooling time, and once it is used up, it cannot be used a second time within a certain period of time? Isn't it possible that this period of time only lasts a few minutes?"

Li Guanqi asked curiously in his mind: "Why did this old guy hypnotize me twice in a short period of time?"

"God knows."

Shunkong's voice also revealed a little surprise, "Normally speaking, this 'period of time' is at least one day. The cooldown time of this old guy is indeed a bit short, but it is not impossible. He has a star skill

Ability should depend on consumption to determine the cooling time.

With his Nine Palace level cultivation, it doesn’t take much power to hypnotize you now, so the cooling time is also very short. Well, that’s probably it... right?"

"..."

Li Guanqi was speechless.

"What is the end of life?"

At this time, Tokugawa Shinji suddenly raised his head and walked toward the puzzle slate and the four-color answer stone, muttering softly to himself as he walked.

"The end of life?"

"To become the strongest?"

"No, even gods will perish, so the answer to this puzzle should be red - death is the end!"

"Even for the gods, death is still the end. This puzzle is the feeling of the master of the gods here about his own fate!"

At the end of the sentence, Tokugawa Shinji's expression became more and more determined!

Listening to his explanation, Li Guanqi blinked at the side. In fact, in a sense, there is nothing wrong with Tokugawa Shinji's way of solving problems.

It's a pity that although he sealed his memory and forgot which part of his understanding of Greek he had tampered with, in short... the translation of this puzzle is definitely different from the original meaning.

If you read the question wrong, what other correct answer can you give?

"Bang!"

Tokugawa Shinji raised his right hand and slapped it towards the red stone tablet.

"Buzz——"

However, this seemingly ordinary stone tablet directly withstood the palm of the Jiugong-level old man. Not only did it remain motionless, it even emitted a dazzling red light that flickered continuously.

"Red light?"

Tokugawa Shinji's expression changed drastically, "Failed, failed..."

"brush--"

The next moment, Li Guanqi suddenly felt an irresistible pull in space. His vision went dark, and he felt like stars were shooting out of his eyes, and the world was spinning.

…

…

When Li Guanqi opened his eyes again and came to his senses, he found that the space around him was no longer the arena, but the dark and barren land... wilderness!

He looked around and found that he had returned to the place where the castle ruins originally were. After all, the three bare black crooked-necked trees around him left a deep impression on him.

Can't be wrong.

This is the original place.

But as the simulator said at the time, the castle ruins no longer existed at this time, and the place was empty, as if no castle ruins had ever appeared. Except for black soil, it was still black soil.

"..."

Tokugawa Shinji stood there with his head lowered. After being silent for a while, he sighed softly.

"There is a time in life that must be met, and there is no time in life...Don't force it..."

"Are these words of the ancients really meant to be open-minded, or are they used to comfort oneself?"

The Jiugong-level old man, who was only one step away from the artifact, sighed heavily.

"Ha, that's fine."

In the end, Tokugawa Shinji smiled calmly and said, "I am lucky to have gained it, but my life has been lost."

It sounds weird.

Facing the artifact that was only one step away, Tokugawa Shinji was so ecstatic that he could hardly control his emotions.

But at this time, faced with the situation of "the duck that was about to be obtained has escaped", the old man calmed down and controlled his emotions very well. It seemed that he really had a sense of "I am lucky to get it, but I am missing out".

The feeling of "fate".

Li Guanqi stood beside him, looking helpless.

Life is like this.

The situation in this matter was like this. In fact, he had no choice at all.

Tokugawa Shinji has obtained the artifact, and in order to kill people and silence them, he must die.

Even if he used Shun Kong to escape, Tokugawa Shinji, who wanted to silence him, was determined to hunt him down secretly, so that he didn't even dare to enter the Sakura Shogunate again.

The situation will become like this: Li Guanqi helps people translate and get artifacts, but not only does his work become useless, but he also gains a Jiugong-level enemy for no reason.

As for the transfiguration technique to cover up the face?

Unable to track when running in the air?

It seems to be double insurance and seems to be very stable.

But to be honest, Li Guanqi didn't want to bet that a top Jiugong-level expert who was an enemy would never be able to find him in the future.

Moreover, why would he bet on this?

There was absolutely no need for him to let the situation turn into this.

Rather than having another enemy in vain, it is better to nip this ending in the cradle and still get the artifact by yourself.

Um……

Thinking of this, Li Guanqi suddenly remembered an ancient saying.

——I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me.

——Cao Cao

Li Guanqi somewhat understood Cao Cao's mentality... Instead of waiting for others to trick me, it would be better for me to trick them first, so that they can no longer trick me.

In fact, he is not as extreme as Cao Cao.

Li Guanqi now simply feels that working for others for nothing will not only bring no benefits, but in the end he will offend a top-notch Jiugong-level expert. Isn't it such a huge loss?

Rather than doing something like this that would bring a loss to my grandma's family, it's better to get the benefits myself, and I won't be able to provoke any enemies.

"Tokugawa-senpai? What's going on now?"
To be continued...
