Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 110

Dealing with this old man is quite simple. He has no real power, just a title. Give him some benefits and spread some rumors about Kidd.

Compared to matters concerning the Suzuki family, the old man Jirokichi Suzuki was more concerned about Kid.

In my memory, every time he appeared, it was to catch Kidd. As soon as Kidd ran away, he would disappear without a trace.

Moreover, this old man has no children, no wife, and is probably like Suzuki Shiro, a man without a penis, which is why he focuses his energy on eating, drinking, having fun, and causing trouble for Kid.

"Okay, please tell Aunt Pengzi thank you for me. If there's a chance, the four of us can get together again, as a way of repaying you and your daughter for your help."

Hoshino Yu spoke with utmost sincerity, but it sounded somewhat strange.

The Suzuki family's help to him was immense, arguably no less than that of the system.

Of course, the system was also a great help in receiving the full support of the Suzuki family.

Upon hearing Hoshimiya Yu's words, Suzuki Ayako subconsciously clenched her long legs together.

She was so envious of the goalkeeper last time, and now it's finally her turn.

She had originally planned to spend time with Hoshiguma Yu during her vacation at the mountain resort, but she couldn't go, and now she really misses it.

In reality, in order to conceal their relationship, Tomoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki rarely had the opportunity to have sex with Hagumi Hoshimiya.

Only Sonoko Suzuki gets to be intimate with Yu Hoshimiya every day. Despite being the youngest, her body is developed better than that of Tomoko Suzuki, a married woman.

When it comes to sex, Sonoko Suzuki is far ahead of her mother and sister, and could easily be their teacher.

"Hi, I'll pass it on properly."

Ayako Suzuki blushed and agreed, deciding to quickly figure out Ryoichi Takahashi's situation and then focus on dealing with the annoying Jirokichi Suzuki.

Without sending Suzuki Jirokichi away, or persuading him like Suzuki Shiro did, it's virtually impossible for him to have a secret rendezvous with Hoshimiya Hare.

These playful old folks aren't actually annoying, but if they get in your way, they can be really difficult to deal with.

Just as Ayako Suzuki hung up the phone, Hitomi Kujo called Yu Hoshimiya.

Kujou Hitomi's assistance in the previous few days helped him a lot, but it also caught the attention of Mizunashi Rena.

Rena Mizunashi was an undercover agent, so she was naturally very attentive to the people the organization sent to her side. Kujou Hitomi's frequent actions only made her more concerned.

"Senior Hoshimiya, Gil keeps trying to find out about our relationship and our joining the organization. Does he have some suspicions?"

Seeing Kujou Hitomi's concern, Hoshimiya Yu whispered, "Don't worry about her, she's not on the same page as the organization anyway."

"Huh?!" Kujou Hitomi was clearly surprised, and her voice became a few degrees sharper.

“Gin made you his assistant partly to keep an eye on you,” Hoshimiya Yu explained. “So just give her a rough draft; she wouldn’t dare tell the organization.”

He didn't directly reveal Rena Mizunashi's CIA identity; it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Gin already had suspicions, but he lacked evidence, and neither did he have any.

It feels great to have someone on your side assisting in the operation. It's a pity that there's only Kujou Hitomi right now. I wish there were more.

After hanging up the phone, Hoshiguma Yu couldn't help but think to herself.

The Red Team has no shortage of helpers, but it's difficult to place people at the brewery...

Suddenly, Xing Gongyu's eyes lit up.

If planting doesn't work, why not just try to turn them to defect?

The term "策反" (cèfǎn) is written as "策反" (cèfǎn) and read as "

Through the effect of the fate contract, Hoshiguma Yu can directly turn the female cadres of the winery into his own people.

There aren't many female cadres in the distillery, but every single one of them has a great figure and good looks, and they are all destined for greatness. Xing Gongyu only benefits and never loses!

Even characters like Chianti, who don't have much screen time, get to interact; Curaçao, Vermouth, and Kiel will definitely do the same.

Moreover, the organization doesn't have many core members, and these female cadres make up almost half of them. They've all become one of our own, so Xing Gongyu won't have to worry about her identity being exposed anymore.

Even without cooperating with the Red Team, he can still live a carefree life.

Thinking of this, Xing Gongyu suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of motivation.

He had never paid attention to things on the organization's side; now it seems he was narrow-minded.

Having figured this out, Hoshiguma Yu stopped worrying about the little girl.

Instead of focusing on external factors, we should concentrate on the organization itself.

Once Shiho Miyano discovers the 'truth' about Akemi Miyano's murder, she will definitely start to resist, and then she will be imprisoned by Gin.

As Gin's 'personal disciple,' Hoshimiya Yu will definitely get wind of it by then.

Even if Shiho Miyano was imprisoned and he didn't receive the news, he would definitely receive the order to hunt her down once she shrunk and escaped.

If you're quick enough, you can still be the first to find the shrunken Shiho Miyano before everyone else.

Of course, Hoshimiya Yu will also be extra careful during the recent rainy weather.

He remembered the incident of picking up a little girl on a rainy night perfectly well, without even needing to consult his memory palace.

Regardless of whether his intervention will cause changes to the timing of Shiho Miyano's escape, it's always good to pay more attention to rainy nights.

After Hoshimiya Yu finalized the next course of action, the news on television came to an end.

The last news item was a bombing.

The building was completely destroyed, but only a few people were slightly injured, so the authorities used it as the last piece of news of the day.

The report barely touched on the details of the explosion, focusing entirely on the official report that the rescue was timely and there were no casualties.

Bombings are nothing unusual in the world of Detective Conan. Hoshimiya Yu glanced at it twice, but found no clues related to the fate incident, so he stopped paying attention to the bombing.

After the news broadcast ended, he focused his attention on his personal panel.

Name: Hoshimiya Yu

[Talents]: Transmigrator (Red), Favored by Lady Luck (Red), Celestial Appearance (Orange), Memory Palace (Orange), Eye of Truth (Purple), Flexibility (Purple), Aura Concealment (Purple), Perpetual Motion Drum (Purple), Magic Resistance (Blue), Deep Sleep (Blue), Rapid Recovery (Blue), Muscle Enhancement (Blue), Drug Resistance (White)

Number of draws: 7

Upgrade Count: 2

[Number of copies]: 2

[Number of raids]: 0

The more detailed introduction to the talents was completely folded by Xing Gongyu. After this period of hard training and use, he knew the function of each talent without having to look at the system's explanation.

Looking at that row of talents, Xing Gongyu felt a great sense of accomplishment, but at the same time, he also felt a little dazzled.

There seem to be many, but in reality, there are basically only three types of effects.

These are talents that enhance the body, talents that enhance the mind, and conceptual talents that involve luck, charm, and other aspects.

Instead of dividing it into such detailed categories, it would be better to simply integrate it into three major categories, such as XX physique, XX spirit, and XX law.

After acquiring a talent, the corresponding experience points will increase based on the grade of the talent acquired.

For example, white adds 100 experience points, blue adds 1000, purple adds 10000...

And so on.

Once experience reaches a certain level, you can level up, and leveling up will enhance all aspects of that type of talent on an average basis.

For example, if you acquire a talent like the Golden Physique, your strength, speed, reaction, recovery, endurance, and all other aspects will be enhanced in all aspects after you gain experience.

With all these cheat codes, you're bound to become an all-around warrior.

Everyone understands the "barrel theory," but if you crash because of that one weak point, you'll truly become a nobody.

The system is now divided into such detailed categories, but Xing Gongyu himself has always strived for all-round development; otherwise, he would have always wanted to acquire talents that enhance his other five senses.

The last system upgrade gave him the fate contract function he needed most. It would be great if the system could evolve and upgrade according to his ideas.

In that case, he'd also like a shop and inventory feature, and ideally, a quest system to provide even more ways to earn rewards...

"Sister Tongzi? Give me a response! Even just telling me how to level you up would be helpful."

Hoshigumi Yu had high hopes and even looked forward to it for a while, but the system did not respond.

After the system was activated, he tried to communicate with it, but unfortunately, he has not received a response so far.

I guess I've gotten used to it, so Hoshimiya Yu wasn't too disappointed.

Having received no response, Hoshiguma Yu had no choice but to continue strengthening herself according to her previous plan.

You should definitely save your two talent copy attempts. When you encounter a suitable orange talent, or preferably a red talent, find an opportunity to copy it.

Currently, apart from Ran and Conan, Hoshimiya Hayao has not yet detected anyone else with the red talent.

Gin only has one orange-tier talent, "Precision Shot," one purple-tier talent, "Intuition," and one blue-tier talent, "Rapid Recovery."

The name itself reveals the effect of the talent: [Precision Shooting] increases the hit rate of long-range weapons, with a maximum range of 1000 meters. This is the reason why Gin can remain the organization's number one sniper.

Shuichi Akai is slightly stronger than him, and probably also has a similar golden talent, although its effective range may be a bit greater than Gin's.

【Intuition】 can be simply understood as a lower-level version of Xiaolan's 【Sixth Sense】, which is strong intuition.

[Quick Recovery] is the same as Hoshimiya Yu's, so I won't explain it further.

Gin doesn't have any red talents, but Shiho Miyano does have one that increases calculation ability and research success rate.

Besides this red talent, there is also a purple charm talent.

However, none of them were what Hoshiguma Yu needed, so she didn't pay much attention to them.

Then there's the fact that Kyogoku Makoto has a red-quality [Humanoid Beast] talent, which Hoshimiya Yu specifically went to Beika High School to check.

This talent not only enhances physical attributes in all aspects, but also provides temporary boosts during combat, while also improving comprehension of combat techniques.

Gong Yu really wanted this talent, but unfortunately, he never had the chance to copy it.

He wasn't familiar with Makoto Kyogoku, who was a popular figure at school. It wasn't impossible for him to find an excuse, do something awkward, and force a three-second handshake.

However, Makoto Kyogoku's current combat strength is far superior to his, so success cannot be guaranteed 100%.

Moreover, this behavior is too strange and attention-grabbing, which is inconsistent with his consistent low profile.

After much deliberation, Hoshiguma Yu decided not to rush into copying it.

In terms of unarmed combat ability, I might not be the strongest, but I certainly won't get killed.

Even if it's Makoto Kyogoku, he can escape even if he can't beat him.

The two copying opportunities can be put on hold for now, but the two upgrade and draw opportunities don't need to be saved.

Although she hadn't saved up enough for a ten-pull, Hoshimiya Yu decided to take this opportunity to use them all at once.

"Sister Tongzi, upgrade the Eye of Truth."

Silently recite a phrase in your mind, and a familiar heat flow arises out of thin air.

Accompanied by a slight throbbing pain, the heat quickly concentrated around the eyeball and optic nerve.

A few seconds later, the heat and swelling dissipated, and Hoshiguma felt incredibly comfortable and relaxed in her eyes.

The system notification sounded in my mind as expected the next instant.

Upgrade successful. Obtained the orange talent 'Eye of Truth'.

The purple-quality Eye of Truth has been changed to the orange-quality Eye of Truth, with the permanent effect remaining largely unchanged, only slightly enhanced.

However, when used actively, the duration of bullet time increases from three seconds to ten seconds.

The cooldown time remains the same, but the power consumption has been reduced.

Now, if you use up these ten seconds, the consumption will be the same as the previous three seconds.

Bullet time doesn't have to last until the timer expires; it's just that three seconds is too short, and Hoshiguma Yu can't do much if it's further divided, so she always uses it all at once.

Ten seconds is a different story.

By splitting it into two five-second intervals, Hoshiguma Yu can now use it twice a day.

To take it to the extreme, break it down into three seconds, and you can use it three times!
