The invitation was simple: a game launch event would be held at the Mihana City Hall.
As the renowned detective Kogoro Mouri is a household name in society today, the Mouri family naturally received an invitation from the organizers.
"Pshaw, I thought it was some kind of banquet, it's just a game launch event."
Uncle Mori looked at the invitation in his hand, his eyes filled with disdain.
He's almost forty, and games no longer hold much appeal for him.
"No, Uncle, I want to go!"
Upon hearing that Uncle Mori seemed reluctant to go, Kōyū quickly pleaded with him.
The two stared at each other for a moment. Uncle Mori frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, alright, this is really troublesome."
Guangyou was very excited. He was very interested in the "Cocoon," but the case was actually secondary.
"Goro is just that kind of person who is stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside."
Guangyou inadvertently revealed his inner thoughts.
Uncle Mori's veins bulged, his fists clenched, and he gave Kōyū a sharp rap on the head.
"How dare you call him Goro!"
-----
Before we knew it, it was evening of the press conference.
Throughout the journey, Guangyou's face was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"I didn't expect you to be a gamer."
Ai glanced at Kousuke and said.
Guangyou didn't deny it, and nodded: "Yes, it's just that the games of this era don't suit my taste at all."
"Seriously, it's just a game launch event, why make such a big fuss?"
Uncle Mori was very puzzled.
However, if he knew that the prize money for global gaming tournaments would reach 40 million US dollars in the future, Uncle Mori would probably faint on the spot.
"I heard that before the press conference, our colleagues' spies had already started making moves."
Conan's information came from who knows where, but anyway, it's useless for Mitsuyu to know that the spies have arrived. Without the help of the artificial intelligence developed by Hiroki Sawada, it's pointless for them to know more.
Aside from games, the person Kōyū admires most is Hiroki Sawada, a true genius boy.
This boy just lacked the protagonist's halo like Conan, but in the end, the outcome was still acceptable, fulfilling his wish.
To some extent, at the age of 10, he was already a pioneer who ushered in a new era.
However, fate is cruel to talented people, and the final result was regrettable.
Artificial intelligence—so many scientists in the past tried to develop it but failed.
The so-called artificial intelligence on the market is no different from the artificial intelligence developed by Hiroki than an adult is to an ant.
However, since this is the world of Detective Conan, there's not much to compare it to.
Several people, including Genta Ayumi, accompanied the Mori family.
"Did you know that because of the emergence of this 'cocoon', it is said that the entire landscape of the gaming industry will undergo a major transformation?"
Mitsuhiko turned his head and told the others about the news he had received.
"Of course, this is no ordinary game, but it doesn't change anything for players with limited resources."
Guangyou chimed in from the side.
The press conference was also covered by television stations.
Therefore, almost everyone in Tokyo knew about this game launch event that was said to be able to change the landscape.
Those who could come were naturally overjoyed, while those who couldn't could only sigh and lament.
The latter group accounts for approximately 99% of the total. Those who come here are either industry leaders, celebrities, or political bigwigs.
The organizer, Sindora, also spent a lot of money and must have invited many political figures; otherwise, how could they have taken over the city hall to hold a game launch event?
As he walked toward the venue, Genta saw through the glass windows along the aisle that there were fifty egg-shaped installations on the huge stage.
Wow, could that be a 'cocoon'?
Kids are always interested in these games. Genta sighed, "I really want to play with cocoons too."
"That's impossible. Although we can come to the party, we weren't selected and we can't be cocoon experience participants."
Mitsuhiko shook his head, looking quite helpless.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't interested; he simply understood reality.
"But I feel it's really special to be able to experience historical events firsthand."
Ai looked at the stage. She wasn't usually very interested in games, but suddenly she became interested in this game that was advertised as amazing.
"It's just a game, isn't it?"
Unlike the others, Conan wasn't particularly interested.
Perhaps because he was beaten by Guangyou in the game, he didn't feel anything about this "cocoon".
"Hehe, you'll know once you experience it."
Guangyou shook his head, offering no further explanation.
It's best to let Conan experience this for himself; he'll understand once he does.
"I think it's because Conan isn't very good at games."
Ayumi meant no harm; she was simply stating a fact.
Genta squinted at Conan and said with amusement, "Conan hasn't even finished playing Dragon Quest yet."
"I never expected Conan to be so smart, yet so clumsy with his fingers."
Seemingly having spoken the truth, Conan blushed and glared at the group, saying, "None of your business."
The party venue was already packed with people.
These so-called upper-class people all have their own small circles, but the Mori family doesn't.
For Guangyou and his friends, chatting was less enjoyable than eating at a buffet.
The people here are high-class, so the buffet is naturally of a high standard as well.
However, few people moved; they only occasionally took a glass of wine from the tray of a passing waiter.
Since we can't play, let's eat as much as we want!
