Chapter 8 Chapter 8 The famous detective who was tricked is cute...
Dear detective, whatever you say is what it comes down to!
Players with average stats looked at this high-IQ NPC and shed tears of envy.
"I want the special wallet that Miss Stupid just stole from a passerby. The condition of the transaction is that Miss Stupid can ask me three questions. How about it?" Edogawa Ranpo seemed very sure that the player would not refuse him.
[A deal from a famous detective: I'll trade a special wallet for three questions from a famous detective. Do you accept?]
Of course I accept it!
How could players miss such a good opportunity?
She looked left and right, grabbed the famous detective and went into a dessert shop next door.
Ignoring the blue-eyed kitten's frantic dessert ordering, the player sat down on a chair and handed him his wallet, which had already been emptied of banknotes.
Just click it, players won’t pay him anyway.
"Hey--, there's also the ability of space. Miss Silly is really special." Without any awareness that he was invading other people's privacy, Edogawa Ranpo stuffed another piece of dessert into his mouth.
Players who regarded such terrible remarks as the special personality of the NPC ignored them. After all, no matter how bad they were, they were not as bad as her teacher who liked to perform suicide art.
"Well, I'm going to start asking."
The player took out a brand new bottle of hair dye and placed it on the table. "What I am going to do now, can I complete it smoothly if I do it according to my idea?"
“If this is done successfully, what should I do next?”
"Emm, these are two questions. Although it is very risky, if it is you, the chance of success is still quite high." Edogawa Ranpo glanced at the item the player had just taken out, then glanced at the player's face, and answered casually.
"Miss Idiot, you can go to Raibo Street after you dye your hair red. If it's you, it will be easy to sneak in, but it will be a bit troublesome later. You must try your best~" In this way, the chaos in Yokohama can end sooner.
Very good, it seems like another challenge of higher level.
The player couldn't help but wonder if he had chosen the wrong birthplace. Would it have been better to choose Namimori Town?
Is her luck that low?
Edogawa Ranpo looked at Kamikami Chiyo who was in deep thought, and had deep expectations about how she could disrupt the already chaotic situation of the port mafia.
This fearless look shows that he is a person with a strong sense of self-awareness. The perverted uncle who once bullied Akiko-chan is probably in the port mafia now.
The ambitious and perverted uncle will definitely suffer a great loss when he faces the confident lady with many tricks up her sleeve. He did this definitely to avenge Akiko-chan!
Hehehe! If Akiko knew about this, she would definitely buy him some delicious snacks!
Thinking of this, the famous detective raised his head confidently.
"Ranpo." The voice from a familiar person made the originally confident and flamboyant detective freeze in an instant.
"President..." Edogawa Ranpo looked at the figure gradually approaching from the door, a hint of panic on his face. "Good afternoon, President. Uh... these desserts are commissions! They are definitely not because the great detective wants to eat them."
Doesn't this guilty expression expose himself clearly?
The player looked at the person who was still trying to argue and couldn't help but reveal a crescent eye.
"Ranpo." Fukuzawa Yukichi walked forward and looked at the plates piled high on the table. A hint of helplessness appeared on his calm face. "You've eaten too much."
"Go back and give up snacks for a week, and add half an hour of exercise every day."
"What? Nooo ...
The gray-white soul appeared!
In order to prevent the rare high-IQ NPC from disappearing, the player decisively chose to grab the soul and stuff it into Edogawa Ranpo's mouth.
"It really is a commission fee, President! If you don't believe me, ask that idiot... Miss Chiyo!"
"That's right, commission fee." The player nodded in agreement and used his eyes to indicate the NPC's recent transaction. After receiving a reluctant but resigned look, he nodded again with satisfaction, "We are doing a good thing."
[A favor from the famous detective: You helped the famous detective who was avoiding sports, and you retained three questions.]
"Okay." How could the experienced Fukuzawa Yukichi not see the quarrel between the two young men? It was just family matters. He planned to go back and deal with Ranpo.
Edogawa Ranpo, who knew nothing about it, was secretly feeling lucky that he had escaped and was trying to change the subject.
"Let's not talk about this, President. The commission we accepted yesterday has already had a result. It was the clue provided by Miss Chiyo." Edogawa Ranpo waved the wallet in his hand.
"Ms. Chiyo, I'm Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency. Hello." Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the flattering look on Maomao's face and didn't ask any further questions. "Thank you for the clue you provided."
"I'm Kamikami Chiyo, hello." The player looked at the NPC who was wearing a kimono and looked very imposing.
[Name: Fukuzawa Yukichi
Age: 36
Do you have special abilities: Yes
Faction: Armed Detective Agency (President)]
Another person with special abilities.
"You use a sword too?" The player leaned close to the NPC's face and circled around him a few times.
"...Yes." Fukuzawa Yukichi seemed startled by her and subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword, but quickly let go. "Ms. Chiyo also uses a sword?"
"That's right."
Although the practice time was less than two and a half days, the player nodded confidently and took out her treasure, "The sword is not bad, attack!"
A person with space-related abilities.
Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes narrowed.
"Can we have a fight sometime?"
“…Of course not.” Looking at Edogawa Ranpo’s winking expression, Fukuzawa Yukichi paused but still agreed.
【Fukuzawa Yukichi accepted your challenge】

"Yeah!"
There is no limit on the number of challenges and time!
Doesn’t this mean that it doesn’t matter if players challenge a hundred times a day!
"I'll come find you once I finish what I'm doing!"
Carrying the freshly-made task, the player left the two NPCs behind and walked happily towards Leibo Street.
"Ranpo, this client..." Fukuzawa Yukichi wanted to discuss the client's strangeness, but when he looked at Edogawa Ranpo, who still refused to give up the food on the table, his eyes became more serious. "Why did you ask me to accept her challenge?"
"It's just a favor. You might need help again in the future."
Edogawa Ranpo rocked his chair, shifting restlessly. "Besides, if I don't agree now, I'll be forced to agree later. It's better to agree sooner rather than later, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if I get pestered."
The time he spends snacking will be greatly reduced!
"I don't know if it's troublesome or not, but I know you're in trouble, Ranpo."
Edogawa Ranpo looked at the president's unquestionable expression and felt that the Daifuku in his mouth was no longer fragrant, but he still had to eat it.
Because he probably won’t be able to eat it for the next week.
At least I can finish this meal, Edogawa Ranpo thought to himself, but soon, reality gave him a bigger blow.
"Sir, the bill hasn't been paid yet. Who will pay?" The waiter came over with a long bill and an impeccable smile.
What?! You didn't even pay? This is such a huge loss!
"Ranpo, I'll use your allowance for next week to pay this bill."
"What? President, you can't do this!!!"
…
The player who left the dessert shop found a sushi restaurant and exchanged all the money he had stolen for sushi. Then he ran to an alley and started his gambling journey.
First time dyeing my hair white.
Second hair dye, green.
The third time I dyed my hair, it was yellow.
The fourth time dyeing my hair...
Finally, it finally turned red. With the player's sensitivity to colors, this is definitely bright red!
To some extent, it's quite scientific.
After looking at his messed-up hair for a while with curiosity, the player walked towards the cabin - ready to fish.
First, the player walks to the edge of Leibo Street. After seeing the NPC in the black suit, he runs away in panic with a frightened expression, then hides deep in the alley, and then inadvertently runs to the entrance of a dead end. In this way, he will be caught naturally, and then the player can sneak into the port mafia.
I was planning to do that, but—
Looking at the group of people collapsed on the ground, unable to get up again, the player sighed deeply.
There is no other way. If you don’t eat these experience packs, which can be eaten with one blow, you are not a player.
"You are too weak. Send someone stronger."
"Did she really say that?" The pale old man was lying on the luxurious big bed. He had just taken medicine with the help of a doctor, but he still couldn't stop coughing.
"Yes... yes, chief." The person who delivered the message lowered his head and suppressed the trembling of his body.
"Ahem... ahem, a red-haired kid actually dares to do this! How arrogant, so arrogant! This is a provocation to the port mafia!" The old man's expression became more and more ferocious, and the skin on his face trembled with the sound of his voice, disgusting and hideous.
"Ahem... ahem, doctor, go... find Guangjin and have him bring... bring the black lizard back to me! I want to see her die with my own eyes!"
"Yes, chief." Mori Ogai lowered his head, hiding the gloom and impatience in his eyes.
This powerful man who once led the port mafia to dominate the area has long become a sick dog and began to vent his final madness to the outside world.
It’s not time yet, Mori Ogai thought.
He lowered his head even lower so as not to reveal his ambitions that would alert others.
