Chapter 2 Diligent Kurosawa Online Value Farming
"No, no, no, there's still a chance!"
"Huh? Who's talking?" Kurosawa Jin suddenly opened his eyes and instinctively reached for his gun, but saw a girl with a black ponytail.
The world has been transformed; the surrounding scenery is no longer that of the previous room, but has been replaced by a tranquil garden.
Kurosawa Jin was sitting on a bamboo chair with a wooden table in front of him, and the girl was sitting opposite him.
The girl wore black-rimmed glasses and a white dress, and looked to be of school age.
"Who are you?" Kurosawa's eyes narrowed, and he released a murderous aura, as if he was about to grab the girl's neck at any moment.
"Hey, calm down, calm down, I won't hurt you." The girl blinked.
After listening, Kurosawa Jin still had a cold face. Having worked in the brewery for many years, how could he believe the words of the person in front of him?
The girl scrutinized Kurosawa Jin for a moment, her mind turning into a screaming chicken.
Ahhh—as expected of my son, every expression he makes is breathtakingly handsome!!!
"Ahem." The girl coughed twice to cover her embarrassment, then reached out and poured Kurosawa Jin a cup of tea. "Have some tea."
Kurosawa Jin took the teacup and looked down at the tea leaves floating in the cup.
“There’s no poison inside,” the girl added.
At this moment, Kurosawa had a strange feeling. He had never seen this girl before, but a voice in his mind was telling him that she was a relative who had been with him for many years.
This is so strange, so strange. I should be dead. Kurosawa Jin frowned, but still didn't drink the tea.
“You can call me Gu Gu, I’m actually… your mother.”
"Pfft cough cough cough—" Kurosawa's expression broke down for once.
Kurosawa Jin: Do you want to hear what you're saying?!
"It's...it's the identity of a creator." Gu Gu quickly explained, staring awkwardly at the lily bushes in front of her, a hint of panic in her eyes.
"Well, you might find it unbelievable, but it's true."
"Not only you, but the entire world you live in was created by me."
"Are you the creator god?"
"You could also say that the world you live in is one I created based on the plot of another world. That world is the main world, and this world is the 'what if' scenario."
Gu Gu turned her head and stared at Kurosawa's blue eyes, "You can understand me, right?"
Kurosawa Jin's expression: Oh~ Unbelievable~
Kurosawa Jin's inner thoughts: Should you go to the hospital to get checked out?
Gu Gu could see that Kurosawa Jin was distrustful, and his defenses were visibly starting to crumble.
"How should I put it? Ugh—" Gu Gu grabbed her hair in frustration and pulled up a panel out of thin air. "I'll just give you the main world's plot directly."
She pulled a ball of light from the panel and, with lightning speed, thrust it into Kurosawa Jin's forehead.
"Bang!" Kurosawa Jin felt his mind go blank for a long time before he could recover.
"Now you understand, right? Your world was created based on this world," Gu Gu said calmly. "I am your creator, and you are the person I created. You should be able to feel the spiritual connection between us."
Kurosawa Jin could indeed sense the spiritual connection.
Kurosawa Jin took a sip of tea and said, "The 'me' in the main world is really... evil."
"There's nothing I can do about it; you're the distillery's top killer in the main world."
"Their personalities are also very different; that 'me' was a bit crazy."
"Because your identity has been changed to that of a public security police officer, your persona must be changed to be a little more positive and righteous." Gu Gu walked forward and squatted down in front of the lilies, arranging the flowers.
"Actually, you are already different people, you just look the same."
"And that Bourbon too."
"Uh... As the brewery's number one workhorse, there's really no one left in the brewery after your identity is changed. To maintain balance, I'll turn Furuya Rei into a pure black faction character."
Gu Gu felt that she had let Furuya down a bit.
"Oh, I see." Kurosawa Jin squinted at Gu Gu. "However, I have a question."
"Go ahead and ask."
Am I dead?
"Of course not! Aren't you standing right here?" Gu Gu stammered.
"You're feeling guilty."
"Really? Where?"
"You don't seem to be very good at lying," Kurosawa said expressionlessly, revealing the truth.
Gu Gu: Ah—(screams like a mouse)
"Ahem, I called you here because I have something to discuss. Don't you want to know what it is?"
"You changed the subject so abruptly." Kurosawa Jin looked at her speechlessly.
The girl awkwardly sat back down in her original spot.
"Well... uh... I need you to go to the main world and find something..."
What are you looking for?
"Uh... a supreme magic weapon... you just need to get close to the main characters and accumulate enough approval points from everyone on the red team, and that thing will naturally appear." Gu Gu shook his head and said mysteriously.
"So what exactly is it that can be called a supreme magic weapon?"

"Ugh, you're asking so many questions! This is confidential, please stop asking and just help me!"
A person is at their most humble when they are asking others for help, and Gu Gu is in that state right now.
Kurosawa Jin stared at Gu Gu, thought for a while, and then deflated like a punctured balloon.
"Sigh—" He leaned lazily against the bamboo chair, a stark contrast to his previous aggressive demeanor, now resembling a lazy cat.
"I won't do it."
"Why?"
"I'm already dead, I don't want to work."
"The main world is a lot of fun, let's just treat it as a vacation there." Gu Gu started to make grand promises. "That way, whatever identity you want, I can provide it."
Sure enough, the man's eyes lit up.
"Then I want to be rich, lots and lots of money."
"OK."
"A distinguished status".
"no problem."
"He also needs to hold absolute power."
"arrange."
"It's gone."
"OK, I'll send you over right away. Get used to it as soon as possible and start doing tasks." She pulled over the control panel and quickly operated it, eager to pass on this hot potato.
"I will arrange your identity properly and ensure that you have no connection with Gin from the past."
A moment later, a door appeared beside them.
"You can just walk in."
Then, Gu Gu took out a watch and handed it to Kurosawa Jin, saying, "This is the Red Team's approval value detector. It can be used to check the approval value."
"The watch face looks ordinary. To activate the watch, you need to slide two fingers upwards, and the screen will change."
"Because you are an outsider, you need to gain the approval of the Red Team. If your average approval rating is below ten points, you will be targeted by the world."
Gu Gu licked his dry lips and said seriously, "At best, you'll be plagued by bird droppings every day; at worst..."
"Eliminated!"
"Hmm, interesting." Kurosawa Jin took the watch, turned around with a flourish, and strode towards the door.
As he stepped inside, a distant shout came from behind him.
"Son, have fun there! Mom will cover for you if anything happens—you just have to be happy!!!"

"Mr. Kudo, we meet again." Inspector Megure looked surprised. "I remember you went abroad. When did you come back?"
"Long time no see, Inspector Megure." Yusaku Kudo had already guessed that Inspector Megure would be the one responding to the call, after all, he was a regular NPC in the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.
"I came back to see my son, and I'll go back in a few days."
"Oh, this is your son." Inspector Megure looked down at one of his future younger brothers—Shinichi Kudo.
"Little friend, how old are you this year?" Inspector Megure asked, squatting down.
Shin-chan, hands in his pockets, said nonchalantly, "Six years old."
"Six years old." Inspector Megure stood up and patted Kogoro Mouri on the shoulder. "Brother Mouri, the same age as your daughter."
Then Kudo Yusaku introduced the people around him one by one, and also briefly mentioned Kurosawa Jin.
Kogoro Mouri stared at Jin Kurosawa for a while, then pulled Inspector Megure aside and said, "Who is that guy? He looks familiar."
"Huh? You mean Mr. Yusaku Kudo? You forgot that he solved that perverted serial killer case last year, and you were even with him back then..."
"I wasn't asking about him." Kogoro Mouri's face twisted slightly as if he had recalled some unpleasant memory.
"It's that young man with white hair."
“Him? He does look familiar. Kurosawa isn’t a very common surname.” Inspector Megure put his hand on Kogoro Mouri’s back. “Well, let’s focus on solving the case first. We can ask him questions later.”
Soon, everything got down to the point of solving the case.
"Now, tell me about the circumstances surrounding the incident," Inspector Megure said sternly.
"The deceased died ten minutes after the lights came on at the end of the show. To find out the exact time, we need to ask the lady who was closest to the deceased." Kudo Yusaku looked at the deceased's girlfriend, whose face was streaked with tears.
"Then, miss, please show me your identification and tell me what happened at the time of the incident? What are your identities and those of the deceased?" Kogoro Mouri asked, holding up his notebook.
The woman's name was Kyoko Maeda, and she was a nurse. The deceased's name was Masao Ogawa. The two had come to the movie theater for a date.
"I don't know, I really don't know. Masao just took a sip of my drink, and then... and then..." Before she could finish speaking, she started crying again, looking pitiful.
Yukiko Kudo stroked Kyoko's back; she was the one comforting Kyoko until the police arrived.
"Based on the strong almond flavor of the drink that fell on the ground, we can preliminarily conclude that it was poisoning by [unspecified substance]," said Yusaku Kudo, stating the clues he obtained at the scene.
“In that case, Ms. Maeda is the most suspicious, because that drink originally belonged to Ms. Maeda.” Kogoro Mouri looked at Kyoko Maeda. “Moreover, of all the people present, only you have any connection with the deceased.”
"You are the murderer, Ms. Maeda Kyoko."
