Half an hour later, at the Tohsaka Residence.
Iron Man Tokiomi assessed the situation at the Tohsaka Residence.
The old man frowned, his disdain completely undisguised, and in Robert Downey Jr.’s voice, he mercilessly complained in English, stating that the things in the building were old and outdated, full of decay, completely out of touch with the times, and only a backward Magus who lacked ambition would find this place good.
He truly left no face for Tohsaka Tokiomi, making Tohsaka Tokiomi’s expression very dark.
As for why it was Robert Downey Jr.’s voice and not Hayami Sho’s, the voice lines were completely different, which was naturally because Iron Man Tokiomi’s New York accent English was standard and very factual.
After all, it is well known that dubbing varies by region, and Iron Man Tokiomi’s authentic New York accent English was naturally completely different from the Japanese language.
In any case, Tohsaka Tokiomi, listening to Iron Man Tokiomi’s authentic English complaints, did not feel the slightest sense of incongruity; all he felt was depression and anger, as Iron Man Tokiomi’s complaints were truly unpleasant.
As a Magus who had studied at the Clock Tower, although Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn’t speak English with an authentic American New York accent like Iron Man Tokiomi, he had no problem understanding it.
Thus, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was gradually fuming because he understood, finally couldn’t hold back and angrily roared ‘Enough!’, instantly breaking his elegant composure.
He excitedly started arguing with Iron Man Tokiomi.
His arguments against Iron Man Tokiomi were naturally from the perspective of a Magus, accusing Iron Man Tokiomi of not being a Magus at all, being a disgrace among Magi, shaming the Tohsaka Family, abandoning the Tohsaka Family’s centuries-old aspirations, and being completely unworthy of being called ‘Tohsaka Tokiomi’.
Iron Man Tokiomi naturally retaliated, sneering and mocking Tohsaka Tokiomi as an old-fashioned and foolish fellow, whose beliefs were outdated and rotten, completely unable to keep up with the changing times, destined to be abandoned by the era, and a doomed tragic loser.
One spoke in Japanese, the other in English, both expressing intense and undisguised emotions towards each other, completely unaffected by each other’s voices; it was entirely a case of ‘you say your piece, I’ll say mine’.
The emotional output was quite precise and intense, and Tohsaka Tokiomi’s fuming was genuine, as evidenced by the constantly refreshing fun points increase log in Lynch’s system.
It was clear that, facing Iron Man Tokiomi, his parallel-world self, Tohsaka Tokiomi, after accepting this premise, subconsciously abandoned the restraint and elegance he usually had to maintain.
After all, when facing ‘themselves’, people often drop the masks they wear, and when ‘themselves’ are still wildly dissing and negating them, it often leads to even more intense emotional reactions, making people difficult to control.
Moreover, in the Fate World, there is often the mysterious rule of ‘I hate myself’, leading countless people in this world to be in the strange state of ‘I hate myself’.
Tohsaka Tokiomi didn’t know if he was affected by the underlying code of this world, but he now deeply detested this older’self’ in front of him, and the disgust in his eyes was no longer hidden.
Of course, Iron Man Tokiomi was the same; his disdain for Tohsaka Tokiomi was completely undisguised, and his venomous tongue constantly stimulated Tohsaka Tokiomi’s nerves with his verbal output, causing his emotional reactions to continuously intensify, his fists clenching as if he was about to engage in a true man’s PK with Iron Man Tokiomi at any moment.
Such a fierce ‘confrontation’ should have scared everyone else in the Tohsaka Residence and prompted someone to intervene.
However, after returning, Tohsaka Tokiomi had Tohsaka Aoi take their daughters away from the Tohsaka Residence first, to return after some time, as he wanted to have a private conversation with Iron Man Tokiomi.
Tohsaka Aoi listened to Tohsaka Tokiomi in this regard and felt it was better to leave the space for the two ‘husbands’ to handle, so she took the children and left first.
Therefore, the two Tokiomis who were now arguing were alone in the Tohsaka Family residence.
Of course, Iron Man Tokiomi’s intense emotional reactions were all acting, Lynch’s perfect performance as the Masked Fool beneath the suit, all to make Tohsaka Tokiomi produce more emotional output, determined to squeeze every bit of emotional value from Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Yes, the output of these fun points has an upper limit, which varies from person to person.
For example, Tohsaka Tokiomi can produce a maximum of over 600 fun points each time, after which he enters a cooldown state and cannot acquire fun points from the target again until the cooldown is complete.
Some people can only acquire fun points once.
The specific situation depends on the character’s role in a story.
For instance, Lynch has now transmigrated into the Fate World, but the story selected by the system is “Fate/Zero”, so the main source of fun points comes from the relevant characters within it, and it depends on their screen time.
For example, Tohsaka Tokiomi, as an important character, can have the unique constitution of being able to be exploited for fun points multiple times and repeatedly, while his wife, Tohsaka Aoi, is just a minor character with not much screen time, so she can only be exploited for fun points once, and the fun points are very few.
Furthermore, in addition to this collection of fun points, Lynch was pleasantly surprised to find an extra gain.
Ding ~ Achievement: Famous Scene Created, Reward 500 fun points.
A prompt sound came from the system, leaving behind a photo that could only be viewed through the system, named by the system as ‘Tohsaka Tokiomi’s I Hate Myself’.
This photo was precisely the scene of the two Tohsaka Tokiomis arguing, with Iron Man Tokiomi raising his right hand and pointing his index finger at Tohsaka Tokiomi’s chest, speaking with a look of disdain, while Tohsaka Tokiomi, red-faced with anger, spread his hands and spoke excitedly.
Moreover, a piece of information entered Lynch’s mind—the intelligence related to this achievement, letting him know that this achievement could be completed repeatedly.
As long as the conditions for leaving a photo or short video were met, the system would automatically save the scene and give corresponding rewards.
Now, Lynch had 1125 fun points.
A great harvest!
He would spend a good amount later, maybe upgrade or something.
Yes, for Lynch, as the Masked Fool, to upgrade, he needed to consume fun points, unlike normal game players.
What?
Are there other ‘players’?
Who knows?
Anyway, the system didn’t answer Lynch, and Lynch didn’t care about it.
After all, as the Masked Fool, having fun and being able to create fun was enough.
When Tohsaka Tokiomi’s fun points that could be produced during this cooldown were almost squeezed dry, Lynch actively stopped arguing with him.
However, the way he stopped was by showing an attitude of ‘Forget it, I don’t want to continue arguing with someone of insufficient intelligence; it’s a waste of my precious time,’ emphasizing his disdain and arrogance towards Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Naturally, this made Tohsaka Tokiomi unbearable, and he immediately prepared to initiate a righteous PK to defend his honor as a Magus.
Then, Tohsaka Tokiomi suffered a crushing defeat, being instantly killed amidst extreme unwillingness and disappointment, handing over all the last fun points he could contribute.
After that, he entered a cooldown state, and in Lynch’s view, this cooldown recovered very slowly, needing at least half a year to fully recover.
It must be said that Iron Man Tokiomi’s character card template was simply too overpowered, incomparable to an ordinary Magus like Tohsaka Tokiomi, because it was a combination of Doctor Strange and Iron Man from “Avengers: Infinity War.” Although neither reached their absolute peak, the combined attributes of the two were enough to overwhelm Tohsaka Tokiomi.
The fact was indeed so; facing Tohsaka Tokiomi’s challenge, Iron Man Tokiomi agreed, then started with a magic-restraining device.
The nano-machines, like mechanical claws, instantly clamped onto Tohsaka Tokiomi’s chest, directly sealing his magic and turning him into an ordinary person.
Subsequently, Iron Man Tokiomi stepped forward, raised his hand, and delivered a ‘personality correction punch’ with his hand encased in the Iron Man suit, instantly defeating Tohsaka Tokiomi and leaving him in a state of self-doubt.
With his stats and mechanics completely countered, it would be a miracle if Tohsaka Tokiomi could win.
What?
Is this character card too powerful, potentially leading to power creep and not meeting the basic requirements for leveling up and training?
Is there a possibility that the Masked Fool doesn’t even have such a thing?
As long as it can create interesting fun, this profession doesn’t need to follow the settings of conventional power systems at all.
Anyway, the amusement system’s various functions all embodied this fundamental demand.
