Never mind, customer first.
The waitress carried the plate away.
Conan sat there like a real child, his hands supporting the edge of the chair, his head tilted back, his eyes even a little clear.
So what exactly do you want to do?
Lin Che took a spoonful of soup. "I already said in the text message that building friendship and trust with you is that simple."
“I know your and Ai Haibara’s identities, and I don’t want to beat around the bush with you, so let’s just be direct.”
He lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. "Honesty is the best way to gain friendship and trust, isn't it?"
Conan was at a loss for words after hearing this.
Honesty is indeed a good thing.
But you're being too candid, without even a hint.
He had been hiding his identity perfectly, but suddenly someone he had never met before exposed it.
That's terrifying!
But if Conan were to find fault with Lin Che, he wouldn't be able to.
The waves on the sea of thoughts gradually subsided.
Conan sighed, "So I can assume you're on my side, right? I heard from Haibara that you gave her an unhacked USB drive from the organization."
Lin Che raised a finger and shook it, "When it comes to the organization, I am indeed on your side, but that may not be the case for other things."
Conan pursues ultimate justice and wants to bring all evil to justice (the emphasis is on the law).
Lin Che upholds a selfish sense of justice: if you mess with me, then I'll mess with you, no matter the means.
His initial identity was that of a street thug, and he started out as a five-star wanted criminal.
With the existing gaming experiences, he has gradually come to see this world as comparable to GTA.
Before transmigrating, I was treated like a beast of burden and suffered all kinds of mistreatment. After transmigrating to the game world, am I supposed to go to work and continue to suffer mistreatment?
That's impossible.
The only thing Lin Che could guarantee was that he wouldn't really act like a madman, indiscriminately killing innocent people like he does in GTA.
After all, he himself is now living in this world in a very real way.
As for the rest...
Luxury cars need to be bought, and luxury homes need to be lived in.
How to make money quickly?
Going against Conan is the fastest way to make money.
After listening to Lin Che's words, Conan remained silent for a while before forcing a smile: "At least you're not on my side, which is a good thing."
Not necessarily.
But Lin Che didn't say it directly, to avoid any complications.
If a max-level debuff is applied to me, then I'll really have to consider abandoning the main quest and instead taking down Conan.
"So what are your plans now, or do you have any relevant clues about the organization that you plan to tell me?" Conan asked again.
Lin Che shook his head. "I only came into contact with that organization by accident. Let's just live our lives as usual for now. I'll let you know when I have any news."
Conan smiled. "Thank you. By the way, what do you do for a living?"
Forehead......
"Freelancing, various part-time jobs, I have no idea what kind of work I'll be doing." Lin Che looked out the window.
Conan nodded as if suddenly realizing something. "So what kind of work were you doing that night at Dr. Agasa's house?"
Why are there so many questions?
Lin Che's gaze remained fixed on the beautiful foreign woman with the gray name on her head outside the window.
【Prumia (?)】
Other NPCs at a distance do not have any information above their heads.
Even when you get close, all that's displayed is the words "Citizen of Beika Town".
And now, suddenly a woman with a gray name has appeared.
It's definitely a hidden NPC!
Lin Che stood up and sipped his still-hot latte in one gulp. "That night, I was entrusted with protecting some goods."
"Alright, I have other things to do. See you another day."
Before Conan could speak again, he quickly walked out of the coffee shop.
Conan wanted to see which direction Lin Che was going, but then the waitress from before came back, smiling and saying:
"Little brother, your brother said he left the money for you to pay the bill later, don't forget."
What? ? ?
When did he give me the money?
Conan opened his mouth, but then fell silent. He shook his head helplessly with a wry smile and looked out the window, but Lin Che's figure had already disappeared.
Don't even say it.
Lin Che's actions of having himself pay for things actually increased his credibility.
the other side.
[Conan's favorability +7, current total: 9]
Add this much at once?
It seems that being honest with each other is indeed very effective.
Now Conan's popularity has surpassed Ai Haibara's.
Lin Che refocused his attention on reality, slowed his pace, and slowly walked towards the graceful and delicate-looking Pramia.
She looks like a gentle, older sister type of girl.
"Hello, may I get to know you?"
Chapter 20 Ai Haibara's side story
Lin Che put on a bright smile, his eyes filled with longing for the hidden mission.
He doesn't even know where Skobyn is right now, so he can't possibly be so anxious about Skobyn that he spends all his time on guarding against him.
There are no main quests at the moment.
That side quest is a great opportunity for him to develop!
As a result, right after Lin Che finished speaking, the name above Pramia's head changed to "Christina Lissier (?)".
Lisael looked visibly bewildered. She raised her hand to brush her hair aside and then laughed, "If this is about flirting... I already have a boyfriend, and we're considering marriage. Sorry."
Strike up a conversation?
"No, no," Lin Che took half a step back and waved his hand, "I just thought you looked a little worried, and I was wondering if you needed my help or something."
The name and question mark are still grayed out.
Lin Che is trying to find a way to make them green.
A look of surprise did flash across Lissell's face, but she still shook her head. "I'm sorry, I don't need your help with anything. May I go now?"
"Uh... okay." Lin Che said helplessly.
It seems this hidden side quest isn't ready for me to trigger yet. I'll try it another time when I have the chance.
Lin Che watched Lisa Er leave, then stood on the street feeling inexplicably lost.
So what should we do next?
"There's still a long time before dark, why don't we just scavenge some things in the city to replenish our resources?"
Although we just received 20 million yen, no one would complain about having too much money, and materials are really in short supply right now.
By focusing all your attention on collecting money and opening treasure chests, you might be able to collect hundreds of thousands of coins plus various other materials, so you won't have to go out and collect resources when you encounter NPCs like weapon crafters in the future.
You can also look around the city to see if there are any other side quests to do.
For example, the task fragments I picked up at the intermediary exchange that night, once collected, would probably be a pretty good task.
Just do it.
Lin Che was busy until dusk before he finally stopped and took a taxi back to his old, dilapidated safe house.
This place is actually very unsafe.
But he really had nowhere else to go.
"Why don't we just move into Shinichi Kudo's house?" Lin Che suddenly thought.
Let's take stock of what we gleaned from picking up trash all day.
"375640 yen, not bad."
"23 sets of various parts, that's not bad."
"A standard-quality machete, a high-quality PVC water pipe, and a pair of high-quality tactical military boots."
The machete and PVC water pipe are understandable; they're commonly used by members of yakuza groups during street team-building activities.
What the heck are tactical military boots?
However, these military boots not only increase movement speed by 15%, but also provide 20 points of bullet resistance and 30% kick damage.
Most importantly, these military boots look brand new and have no odor whatsoever.
In the current UI panel, Lin Che's personal data only includes his level; other things like health bar, stamina, hunger, luck, and even intelligence are all missing.
The bonuses provided by equipment cannot be seen intuitively; they can only be experienced firsthand.
Lin Che decided to put on the only piece of equipment he owned: military boots.
Earthy yellow color scheme, high-top design with a hard sole.
You can clearly feel the weight after putting them on.
But the clothes are actually very comfortable to wear, and walking on them gives you a strange sense of security.
As for the machete and... especially this PVC water pipe, hollow stuff, even if it's of legendary quality, it can only serve as a collectible.
Use it if you have the chance.
Lin Che now only has three things to do.
Eating, staying up past midnight.
While guarding against the late-night mudslide, one can also enjoy some late-night adult-oriented TV programs to pass the time.
The night passed quickly.
A wonderful day has begun again.
Lin Che woke up at around 12 noon.
The Mud Ginseng Association is despicable. I was on guard against them until 3 a.m. last night, which greatly depleted my energy. I'm still feeling tired now that I'm awake.
I glanced at my phone and saw two missed calls.
"I don't recognize any of them. Are these harassing calls really that serious? It must be because the original owner subscribed to adult programs like crazy, causing his information to be leaked to criminals."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Che decided to call back.
It's not necessarily a nuisance call.
The first call went through quickly, and it was Nakamura Tetsuya who answered.
"Mr. Lin, is there any news about Scowbin?"
"No."
