Chapter 8

Hoshino Ki wanders around the amusement park, grinding his dailies.

Life is comfortable and very relaxed.

On the other side.

Kudo Shinichi has just solved the roller coaster case.

Walking home with his childhood sweetheart Mouri Ran.

"Oh? That person, the one in black who rode the roller coaster."

Kudo Shinichi is suddenly startled.

He sees the man in black walking into a corner.

"Ah, ah sorry, Ran! Please go back first!"

He puts his hands together.

Greets Mouri Ran beside him.

And without waiting for a response, he chases after him.

"Ah? Wait! Ah!"

Ran falls to the ground.

"I'll catch up with you soon! Going now!"

Kudo Shinichi waves in the direction where Mouri Ran fell.

Hoshino Ki sees that the time is about right.

So he stops grinding dailies.

He returns to the car to wait for Vodka to send him the pickup location.

"Buzz buzz~"

Phone message notification sound.

Hoshino Ki immediately opens his phone.

Viewing the content of the phone message:

[Location: ........]

The message content only has one location.

Obviously.

It is for Hoshino Ki to go there to pick them up.

Hoshino Ki immediately starts the car.

Drives to the mission location.

You, take care of him.

"Do it cleanly!"

"Yes!"

Looking at Kudo Shinichi lying on the grass in front of him.

Hoshino Ki feels a headache.

The poison has not yet undergone human testing.

Whether Kudo Shinichi will die after taking the poison is an unknown situation.

According to the Black Organization's cautious style of operation.

It is indeed impossible to be so sloppy.

Leaving before confirming the other party's death.

It is reasonable for Hoshino Ki to stay behind to clean up.

But in the anime, there is no plot of destroying the body.

It seems that because Hoshino Ki, an outsider, did not die.

The plot has changed slightly.

Perhaps Vodka did arrange for a small fry to clean up at first.

But because the subordinate suddenly died.

And because there were police patrolling nearby.

Kudo Shinichi luckily survived.

After the two of them drive away.

Hoshino Ki stands alone, looking down at Kudo Shinichi on the grass, lost in thought.

Should he really finish him off?

Will killing him affect the anime plot?

".Ugh..ugh...my...my body, so...so hot!"

"! Is it changing?"

Hoshino Ki is startled.

His footsteps involuntarily move back half a step.

Kudo Shinichi's death throes will attract misunderstandings from others.

"My bones, they feel like they're about to melt!! Ugh... no!!"

Hoshino Ki is quick-witted.

Without any hesitation, he takes out the phone from his pocket.

Aiming at the lump of Kudo Shinichi curled up on the grass.

Presses the camera button.

"Click. Click."

The flash illuminates Kudo Shinichi's pale cheeks.

This is a world wonder.

Must take a picture. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====

[Ding! Mastered evidence of "Kudo Shinichi" shrinking + points]

[Please, host, keep up the good work and continue to dig for more hidden points.]

"!"

Hoshino Ki looks at his phone photo album.

It contains about a dozen photos of Kudo Shinichi's "scandals."

Just taking a picture earns points.

And it's a high score of points.

If he sends the photos to others, how many points can he get?

For example, the Black Organization?

The FBI?

Ran?

This is a math problem.

No matter how you calculate it, it's a profitable deal.

Hoshino Ki is somewhat tempted.

If he can obtain more points through this.

He can quickly simulate to obtain better life-saving skills.

It's just that.

Changing the plot without authorization might create a butterfly effect.

Every TV show is acted out like this.

The protagonist gains the ability to travel through time.

Changes the original plot.

Leading to many unknown dangers. ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

This is not what Hoshino Ki wants.

This world revolves around the protagonist, Kudo Shinichi.

If he acts rashly and threatens Kudo Shinichi's life.

Then Hoshino Ki's advantage as a transmigrator who knows the future will cease to exist.

Moreover, it might directly lead to the collapse of the entire anime world.

Not good.

"Buzz buzz~"

A message notification sound comes.

It is a message from Vodka.

The other party is asking if Hoshino Ki has completed the mission.

Hoshino Ki taps his finger.

Writes a "y" in the dialog box.

Sends it.

Then puts the phone into his pocket.

"You owe me, great detective."

Hoshino Ki looks down at the now-shrunken Kudo Shinichi.

Turns and disappears into the night.

Checking today's points.

[Today's points statistics: points]

[Yesterday's balance: points]

[: : System gift + points]

[: : Arrived at mission location + points]

[: : Met with Gin and Vodka + points]

[: : Communicated with Vodka + points]

[: : Conversed with a female + points]

[: : .......]

[: : Mastered evidence of "Kudo Shinichi" shrinking + points]

"Well, this number has a nice meaning."

Hoshino Ki has returned home.

He is lying comfortably on the bed, collecting today's point rewards.

It seems the system's point rewards have no upper limit.

As long as he works hard every day to trigger some hidden events around Kudo Shinichi.

He can obtain points with higher values.

It seems to be divided according to the importance in the anime plot.

The more critical the event or behavior.

The higher the point reward he can get.

Now he is by Kudo Shinichi's side.

As long as he follows him.

And does missions from time to time.

He can avoid wandering around blindly every day.

Hoshino Ki wandered around the amusement park for two hours.

It was time-consuming and laborious.

Rescuing a girl who fell.

Helping a little boy retrieve a balloon.

Helping an old lady get on the roller coaster.

Jumping up and down.

Doing a whole circle of good deeds.

It doesn't compare to taking one photo of Kudo Shinichi.

Furthermore.

Being too prominent outside might attract attention from others.

The murderer who killed him has not been found yet.

He cannot be so flashy.

He decides right now.

In the future, he will focus on doing high-level missions.

That is, doing missions revolving around the protagonist, Kudo Shinichi.

In Hoshino Ki's eyes, Kudo Shinichi has become a money tree covered in gold leaves.

"Start simulation!"

[Yes! Starting this simulation.]

[Deducting host's points, remaining points points]

[Wish you a pleasant experience!]

[Please select the personality for this simulation:]

[Selection: Lazy and Procrastinating: Delay if possible, slack off if possible, lacking spirit and drive]

[Selection: Indifferent and Handsome: Self-centered, independent, cold in words and deeds]

[Selection: Money is Priority: Strong sense of making money, money comes first]

[Selection 4: Single-minded in Love: Devoted to feelings, once moved, will not change]

Four options appear on the panel.

Still the old rules.

Hoshino Ki analyzes these four personalities separately.

The first two options are the same as the second simulation.

No refresh.

He didn't choose them last time.

He won't choose them this time either.

Excluded.

The third option.

Money is Priority.

Literally, it is a personality related to money.

Hoshino Ki indeed hasn't acquired the ability to make money yet.

He can consider simulating it.

The fourth option.

Single-minded in Love.

As the name suggests, it's about finding women.

As of now.

Hoshino Ki really can't think of what kind of skill rewards he can get from finding women.

Could it be lower-body art?

In Conan's world.

It doesn't seem very useful.

The third and fourth options combined are greedy for money and lustful.

He seems to understand. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
