A Survival Manual for the World of Science

Page 119

“Sonoko? Xiaolan and Conan, are you guys coming to the game hall too?” Chu Ming put down his gaming helmet and picked up the big bag beside him, which was full of dolls he had just caught.

He picked out two cute ones and handed them to Sonoko and Ran, and stuffed the rest at Conan, squeezing his small body so tightly that no one could see them from a distance.

“?” Conan struggled to get his head out from under the oncoming plush toys, “Brother Chu Ming!”

Chu Ming smiled and patted him: “This is a toy for children. Take it home and play with it. Then share some with those kids.”

Conan originally wanted to throw the toys to Chu Ming, but when he heard that they were also gifts from several children, he thought about it and stuffed the toys into his bag, grunting and dragging the transparent bag with him as he followed the others.

“Wow, Brother Chu Ming, there’s a shooting competition in front for toys!” Yuanzi shouted, pointing at the large circle of people in front.

Chu Ming thought about it and waved his hand. He would only go there to earn toys with this kind of dimensionality reduction attack. The key point was that he had no shortage of toys. If it was for bonuses, he would have rushed for it long ago.

“Then let’s go and give it a try, Xiaolan?” Seeing that Chu Ming was not interested, Sonoko pulled Xiaolan into the crowd. Seeing that Conan was having a hard time walking, Chu Ming picked him up, picked up the bag and followed.

“How is it? How do you feel after the confession?” Chu Ming asked in a low voice, standing far behind Xiaolan.

“Hehe…” Conan scratched his head and sat steadily on Chu Ming’s arm. He had to say that habit was a good thing. He used to feel embarrassed when being suddenly hugged, but now he has become completely calm. “It’s okay, but it’s a pity that the time is too short, and Huiyuan is unwilling to give me a few more extra antidotes, alas——”

“After all, this is an incomplete antidote. No one knows if there will be any side effects, and generally drugs will have drug resistance. You thought that the first time you drank white liquor, you would experience changes, but the second time you drank so much, there was no reaction at all. Maybe you can’t even last a day if you take this medicine again? Just wait for Xiao Ai’s next version of the antidote. After all, you are the only one who can test the medicine on her.”

Conan sighed. He understood the reason, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xiaolan looking a little lost before.

While Conan and Chu Ming were chatting, Xiaolan and Sonoko in front of them also met their English teacher and they started communicating.

Chu Ming quickly carried Conan over and said, “Why aren’t you playing games anymore? Who is this?”

Yuanzi introduced Chu Ming with a smile: “Brother Chu Ming, this is our school’s English teacher, Ms. Judy. Teacher, this is Xiaolan’s and my friend Chu Ming, who is still in college. The child he is holding is the child who is currently staying at Xiaolan’s house.”

Chu Ming held Conan in his arms and greeted Judy with a smile: “Hello, Teacher Judy~”

Judy roughly analyzed Chu Ming, and after confirming that there was no threat, she said enthusiastically: “Hello, Mr. Chu Ming, I am Judy Saint-Timilian, currently working as an English teacher in high school. Mr. Chu Ming, I just saw you playing games. You are really good at it!”

Listening to Judy’s fake poor Japanese-English mixed language, Chu Ming blinked his eyes: “No, Teacher Judy was also very handsome when she shot with a gun just now!”

“Okay, okay, stop flattering each other~” Sonoko interrupted their awkward chat, “Teacher Judy, which game here is more fun? Xiaolan and I haven’t played it much.”

Judy mysteriously pulled Xiaolan to an empty chair and said, “Come on, Xiaolan, I heard that you have learned karate? Then try this game, it’s very exciting~”

Chu Ming nodded. He didn’t remember the name of the game. He gave the game a nickname – Kyogoku Makoto Simulator.

There are a bunch of tough guys like Kyogoku Makoto fighting passionately, and even when they are beaten, the sensor will hit them back…

Seeing Xiaolan’s eyes full of murderous intent and punching wildly after being punched, Chu Ming held Conan a little higher so that he could see more clearly.

“See? You will be beaten like this in the future too (#^.^#)”

Chapter 230 Could it be that organization’s…?

Conan slapped Chu Ming’s hand and struggled to get off. It was too cruel and scary. Why did Xiaolan still seem full of resentment even though he had confessed to her? QAQ

Chu Ming put Conan down, leaned over and stared at the machine eagerly: “Xiao Lan, let me have a try, I want to play this too!”

Xiaolan stood up decisively and made way for him: “Brother Chu Ming, this game is very stress-relieving. You should try it. I feel much better after playing it.”

Chu Ming sat in his seat, put on his helmet, and tried it casually. Suddenly, a muscular man appeared on the screen and hooked his finger at him.

“Come here——”

“This is a challenge. This person will appear when someone challenges you.” Judy on the side explained like a commentator.

Chu Ming was holding the joystick, but before he could move, he was attacked on the leg.

Although it doesn’t hurt, it is extremely insulting.

Knock, being beaten up by Gin is fine, but being beaten up by others while playing games? Impossible, absolutely not.

Chu Ming’s eyes focused. Although he was a little immature in controlling the game, he still attacked the opponent several times with his superb fighting skills. In the end, he was hit by the aftermath of the opponent’s ultimate move, and the game ended in a draw.

“Wow, the guy on the other side is so powerful. Mr. Chu Ming can actually tie with him. Isn’t that amazing!”

Judy was praising him exaggeratedly, but something strange flashed through her mind. Most people who practiced martial arts mostly did fixed routines such as karate, taekwondo and jeet kune do. However, the fighting method Chu Ming used just now seemed to have no routines and he just threw random punches, but they hit the vital points of the human body.

——It has a little bit of Krav Maga feeling, but not quite. After all, it is aimed at killing the enemy. Most people can’t learn this…

What is the identity of this Chu Ming?

At the last garden party, she hid in the dark and observed Tomoaki Aida. According to her intelligence, Tomoaki Aida was most likely the murderer of her father, Vermouth, in disguise. At that time, she also saw Chu Ming and Tomoaki Aida in contact, but she didn’t sense any murderous aura or the evil aura of killing too many people from Chu Ming, so she just thought that Chu Ming knew Tomoaki Aida. Now it seems –

——Could it be that this Chu Ming is a Japanese public security officer and is also here to investigate Vermouth?

Although there were thousands of thoughts in her mind, Judy’s expression did not change at all. She still looked at Chu Ming with admiration in her light blue eyes.

“Boy, I was careless just now. Do you want to play with me again? The position you are sitting on now is my exclusive throne. If you beat me, I will give this position to you, but if you–” Oto Kengo took off his helmet and stood up to declare war.

Chu Ming took off his helmet and stood up: “Oh, then you sit down. This game is not fun. It’s not as interesting as a real-life fistfight.”

Looking at the man in front of him with a sly look, Chu Ming clenched his fists and said meaningfully.

The man was choked for a moment, and looked at Chu Ming. Inexplicably, he didn’t dare to say anything else. As he walked to the position, he became more and more angry. He kicked the server who came to collect the coins from the machine and said, “Hurry up, you are taking so long to collect the coins. Don’t disturb me while I am playing games.”

“Hey, this guy is really too much. Brother Chu Ming, I support you in having a real-person PK with him offline!” Yuanzi clenched her fists, filled with indignation.

“Haha, little girl, games are games, don’t take it to real people.” The old man who was playing games nearby reminded her, “Although this little rascal is indeed called the Caesar of Rice Flower because of his good skills, and he is showing off in the game hall and making people feel uncomfortable, you must not hit him, there are cameras here.”

“Haha, you’re worrying too much, old man. I’m just talking…” Sonoko scratched her head awkwardly.

“Ah, but his gaming skills are really good. This guy is really talented to be able to tie with him. Before, there was someone who wanted to challenge him – look, here he is, the smoking guy. He has always said that he wants to challenge Oto. Recently, he has become quite famous and is called Louis of the Cup House.”

“This is too childish…” Chu Ming complained, “Is this how the video game industry entertains itself? Then I am the Japanese one who knows the autumn leaves?”

“Who is that?” Conan asked curiously, blinking his eyes. Strange names kept coming out of Chu Ming’s mouth.

“He is a person who is very good at playing games.” Chu Ming evaded him casually.

Conan knew that Chu Ming was just answering him casually, and walked away dissatisfied.

Before the competition between the two sides started, Chu Ming suddenly felt a magnetic field sweeping over him. Although the points were not many, Chu Ming accepted them without hesitation.

However, even though he accepted it with a smile, Chu Ming picked up Conan, casually said hello to Sonoko and Xiaolan who were watching Judy driving a racing car, and walked towards the door with Conan in his arms.

A murder has happened. Take Conan and run away before anyone notices.

Conan has been discovered by Vermouth, so he should try his best to wear the vest in front of Judy.

Having too close contact with the FBI is actually not a good thing. Now the organization from top to bottom is paying close attention to the situation of the FBI. If Conan shows up too much in it, Chu Ming will not be able to protect him.

It would be better to reduce Conan’s presence from the beginning.

“Brother Chu Ming, Sister Xiao Lan and the others are still inside, why are we coming out?”

“That teacher Judy will probably play for a while. My ears hurt from the noise inside, and it’s not good to go out alone. It will be much better if I have you as an excuse to run away. I heard there’s a super delicious dessert shop on the pedestrian street ahead. Let’s go and have a meal alone. After we’re done, I’ll take you back to the office.”

“Okay~” Conan had wanted to leave a long time ago, but seeing how excited Xiaolan and Sonoko were, he didn’t say anything.

Because Xiaolan and Sonoko didn’t bring their cell phones when they went out, when Conan was sent back to the office by Chu Ming, he learned that a murder had occurred after they left, and the police had already brought the suspect to the police station. When Conan heard that it was teacher Judy who helped find the clues, he couldn’t help but feel sad. If it wasn’t for some food, he could have experienced the joy of solving the case today QAQ

“But Teacher Judy has been asking about Brother Chu Ming. Could it be that she has also taken a fancy to Brother Chu Ming and plans to become my love rival?” Yuan Zi, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for the driver to pick her up, was full of resentment. “That won’t work. Although I do think Teacher Judy is pretty good now, Brother Chu Ming is not suitable for her at all!”

“Ask about Brother Chu Ming?” Conan lowered his head and thought, Teacher Judy doesn’t look like a flower-crazy person like Sonoko, it is absolutely impossible that she is seeking information just because Brother Chu Ming is good-looking, could she be sent by that organization… ?

Chapter 231: Drama is the most relaxing

“Are you saying that she secretly inquired about me?” Chu Ming held the phone with a puzzled expression.

“Yes, Brother Chu Ming, do you think she could be a member of that organization who came to investigate you? After all, you have been the one solving cases at the murder scenes recently. Is it possible that…” Conan’s imagination ran wild.

“I’ll investigate this matter. Don’t be impulsive, especially your props. It’s best to keep them away. Xiaolan is still in her class. If your props are discovered, Xiaolan will be in danger.”

Chu Ming knew that if he tried to persuade Conan directly, he would definitely be stubborn, so he now used Xiaolan to check and balance him.

“I know, Brother Chu Ming. I promise I won’t be impulsive. By the way, when teacher Judy was playing video games and shooting guns in the playground today, I noticed slight marks on the joint between her thumb and index finger and on the left and right sides of her index finger. It seems that she had calluses before and had used medicine to remove them recently. The calluses in these two places indicate that she often touches guns. My father told me about this when I was in Hawaii. Brother Chu Ming, you must be careful.”

“Okay, don’t worry. You should be more restrained at crime scenes recently. It’s best not to show up and it’s best not to use anesthetic needles. Here, take the earring-shaped phone the doctor gave you with you. If there is any case during this period, just call me and ask me to come over.” I can collect the magnetic field and help you solve the case at the same time. How nice.

Conan also knew the seriousness of the matter. What he cared about was not his own fame, but the sense of accomplishment he would feel when solving the puzzle, so he agreed honestly.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ming sat on the sofa and carefully thought about Judy’s intention of asking him.

He went to play games today. Even when he was boxing, he was always careful not to reveal his murderous intent. Even if he felt that there was something wrong with his skills, he shouldn’t have gone to Xiaolan to ask for information…

Chu Ming’s eyes lit up. Yes, the garden party. It must be that Judy noticed his brief exchange with Akai Tomoaki.

Hiss——So, Vermouth was exposed?

No, it can’t be so fast. This is not Vermouth’s strength. I don’t know whether she deliberately revealed her identity to protect Conan or she was luring the snake out of its hole.

Chu Ming took out his cell phone and wanted to call Vermouth, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

No matter what Vermouth thinks, it is impossible for her to capsize in the ditch. Judy alone cannot do anything to her unless Shuichi Akai also shows up.

Even if Shuichi Akai really comes out, that would be even better, because that’s Shuichi Akai he’s been waiting for!

All his points had previously been added to sniping, and he was waiting for the day when he would have a sniper fight with Akai Shuichi.

Shuichi Akai doesn’t have any strange buffs, so he can’t be a tool. Then just be a small monster on his way to becoming the boss of the organization.

When the time comes, catch them and send them to Rum, and start brainwashing. Wow, the red side -1, the black side +1, isn’t this a big strengthening of the black side?

After Shuichi Akai’s affairs were temporarily settled, Chu Ming thought that he should acquire a film and television company, shoot some TV dramas about the underworld, and publicize the organization to the whole society.

Similar to the “Young and Dangerous” of that year, how many people were attracted to those gangsters, thinking they were cool and handsome, and some even embarked on a path of no return. This also indirectly reflects the importance of controlling public opinion.

At that time, we can find some handsome young actors to act in movies like “The Domineering Gin Falls in Love with Me”, “Uncle Rum’s Forced Love”, “The Little Wife of the Black-hearted Bourbon”, “The Substitute Canary of the Organization’s Boss”, “There Will Be Rye to Love You for Me”, “Becoming Vodka’s Beloved”, “The Story of Lafitte”, “The Temptation of Returning to the Distillery” and so on. There will definitely be many people who will follow the organization for their looks…

Thinking of this, Chu Ming took out his computer and looked at his dark web background. After the story of Kotoko in the winery was updated last time, new stories have been updated and are now approaching the end.

The new novel tells the story of the shogunate era, when the emperor’s regime was in name only, the shogun’s Shogun Uesugi was away fighting, and the concubines in the harem were fighting for power (favor).

The general content is: Bozi is a maid who has just been chosen to serve in the harem. She is kind and weak, like a beautiful flower blooming on a branch. She is framed by other maids due to jealousy. Eventually, the death of her best friend makes her completely evil. She transforms into Niukuru Bozi, and slowly climbs up from a maid.

When Kako Kouji framed her, she used ruthless means to clear her grievances without any delay, and completely knocked Kako off her position as the Kouji;

When the female god Yasuko mocked her for being ugly, talentless and immoral, Namiko performed a top dance on the spot, shocking everyone present.

Concubine Lan Zi reported to General Wu that she had committed adultery and defiled the harem, a crime that was unforgivable. After Bo Zi presented evidence to prove her innocence, she planned to express her dissatisfaction by committing suicide, but was stopped by the general, who said that he would always believe in him and sent Lan Zi to the cold palace.

Concubine Langzi was jealous of Bozi’s favor, so she put the border defense layout map into Bozi’s room and falsely accused him of being a spy for the enemy country. General Wu was furious and refused to listen to Bozi’s explanation. He sent him to the cold palace, where a woman named Lanzi had already lived, bullying and exploiting Bozi.

During the period when Bozi was banished to the cold palace, a flatterer sent an exotic dancer named Qinzi to the general. With silver hair and green eyes, she was particularly likable. Since then, the general has a new favorite Qinzi, and he dotes on Qinzi even more than Bozi. When Qinzi is with him, the general can’t even remember that there is Bozi in the cold palace who is looking forward to him redressing her.

Bozi cried all day long in the cold palace. Her new friend Xiuzi sneaked into the cold palace and said that she was ready to help Bozi. She asked Bozi to escape from the general’s mansion first and she would help her.

Bozi believed it. She packed her luggage and prepared to run out according to the map given by Xiuzi.
