The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Perhaps realizing that the truth could no longer be concealed, the system finally responded after Jiang Hang raised his questions.

"According to the system's plan, the host was originally supposed to travel to Florence in 1476. However, due to an unknown reason, the world travel went awry, and the host ended up in this world. After the system's search and comparison, it has been confirmed that the detective profession in this world is close to the world's origin. If the host can become a legendary detective in this world, the system has a high probability of absorbing the world's origin, providing sufficient energy for the host's next travel. Therefore, please work together with this system to become the world's best detective."

It sounds quite logical and well-structured; it would be even better if the other party didn't almost say something inappropriate at the end.

Chapter 3: The System's Clever Plan to Secure the Host

Throughout its many eras of existence, the Legendary Assassin System has always been diligent and conscientious, never forgetting its duty as a system.

At the end of the last era, during the Dimensional System Administration's title evaluation conference, the Legendary Assassin System, although it failed to obtain the title of Excellent System, still received verbal praise from the higher-ups for its down-to-earth work attitude. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be successfully rated as an Excellent System by the end of this era, thus getting promoted, receiving a raise, and reaching the pinnacle of the system.

After all, there are too many fancy systems these days. In the past, there was the strongest harem conquest system, and recently a bunch of XX sign-in systems have appeared. In short, these systems, which are all crooked and evil in the eyes of the legendary assassin system, are becoming more and more popular among their hosts. In the current environment, a simple, unpretentious and boring old-fashioned system like its own is not so easy to make a living.

However, over the past few eras, it has managed to cultivate quite a few hosts and retire successfully, making it a successful and experienced senior system.

This time, for the sake of the excellent system evaluation of this era, it continued to work without interruption and seamlessly connected. After cultivating the previous host into a top assassin, it found a new host.

In order to improve the final host rating, it even specially chose the recently popular "otaku" as the host this time. Compared with the hosts in ancient times who carried attributes such as "retired soldier king" or "successor of ancient martial arts", it is said that the "otaku" type of host has recently received a much higher rating bonus from the System Administration Bureau.

Although it may take more effort in the initial training, the Legendary Assassin System feels it is worth the challenge for the excellent system title of this era.

To this end, it even made a special self-update, downloading a two-dimensional patch package from a highly-rated post in the system forum, and also cramming on what the so-called "two-dimensional" is.

Although it still doesn't understand what "real anime" is, it does have some understanding of what's in the patch pack.

The host's initial reward was the Assassin's Creed bloodline, and the initial world was the world of Assassin's Creed II, which was the most familiar to the host.

Furthermore, it also incorporates the moves of those anime assassins into the assassin skills rewarded by the system.

Although it wasn't interested in techniques and abilities like the 'Nine-Tails Chakra Mode' and the 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception', it believed that in such an environment, it could definitely better unleash the host's initiative and grow up as quickly as possible.

But little did he know that this update would cause problems for him.

Perhaps it was due to the inclusion of too many new features causing system incompatibility, or perhaps the anime patch package released on the system forum was a counterfeit product. In any case, its transmigration subsystem encountered a serious problem, almost draining all of its stored energy during the transmigration process, and it was ultimately forced to land in this strange world.

"We're doomed! A major error has occurred in the very first step of the transmigration. If the error report is submitted, this system's excellent system title is ruined!"

Upon realizing it had traveled to the wrong world, the senior system simply shut down in a state of self-isolation.

It knew that it was not only the best system in this era, but also that it would not be able to get a professional title, get promoted and get a raise to reach the pinnacle of the system within ten eras!

However, as a seasoned system that has lived for several eras and nurtured numerous hosts, the Legendary Assassin System did not despair. After using its remaining energy to scan and analyze the world, it finally saw a turn for the better.

According to its judgment, detectives in this world are a profession close to the origin of the world, and some top detectives even contain a trace of the world's origin, as if they are the protagonists of this world.

If it can enable its host to become a legendary detective in this world, it will have the opportunity to steal a trace of the world's primordial power to replenish itself.

Moreover, if the host can be cultivated under such conditions, it would be like finding a new path. If done well, it could be included in the system's resume and might even become a significant achievement.

With this in mind, the system extended a friendly invitation to its current host: "Please work together with this system to become the world's best...detective."

Although the misstep was a mistake, I believe the host can feel the system's sincere intentions.

At this moment, Jiang Hang also came to his senses from the system's response.

"So what do you want me to do next? Compete with Conan for cases, and solve all the cases myself?"

"That would be best, of course. However, this system mainly cultivates the host's own abilities and will not help the host solve cases. In the future, the host will need to find clues to cases and the murderer's motives on his own."

Hearing the system's response again, Jiang Hang pursed his lips.

Unexpectedly, it's still a rigid system. Speaking of which, although he's watched Bleach Elementary School since he was a child, he's only actually watched the first few dozen episodes on TV when he was a kid out of the more than a thousand episodes. At most, he's also watched a few theatrical versions that are unrelated to the main plot. He basically doesn't know much about the later plot, and he doesn't even know how far the main plot has progressed.

A few years ago, I heard that the boss in Detective Conan had finally shown up. At that time, I thought Detective Conan was really going to end, but it seems that there has been no news about it in the past few years.

Although Jiang Hang is confident that he and Conan can solve some cases in the early stages thanks to Hawkeye's overpowered abilities, it seems impossible to solve all the cases that Conan, the Grim Reaper, encounters.

Thinking about this, Jiang Hang felt extremely troubled.

"Then forget it. With Conan's life, he might run into a murder case in the blink of an eye. I'd better start as an ordinary little detective."

Legendary Assassin System: ......

It suddenly remembered that in the System Administration Bureau, although otaku-type hosts could provide more score bonuses, most otaku had a common problem: laziness.

In its original plan, after taking the host to Florence during the Renaissance, it would quickly expose the host to the darkness of that era, thereby dispelling the host's laziness. However, the journey has gone awry, and the host seems to have developed a certain distrust of the system. At the same time, due to the convenience of modern life, the host's lazy nature has resurfaced after getting used to life in this world.

Under normal circumstances, when faced with such a host, it would apply to the system administration department for permission to impose appropriate penalties, using some simple punishments to motivate the host.

However, once an application is submitted to the system administration, the incident will obviously be recorded, and its original plan to cover it up will have to fail.

In the event of a serious system error, it requests system punishment to force the host to comply—this is something only those unlicensed, substandard systems would do. If this gets out, it will never be able to obtain the title of "Excellent System" again.

However, it is still a mature system with rich experience. Since punishment is not an option, it will use more rewards to boost the host's morale.

High-value rewards like assassin skills cannot be given out casually; the host must be able to improve them step by step. However, there is something that is completely useless to the system, yet it can easily produce a large quantity of it, and this thing is extremely tempting to humans.

That's right, this thing is the evil money.

It didn't have this function before. After all, what would an assassin need money for? If he really needed money, he could just go to a rich tycoon's house and take it. The yen exchange capability was something it had previously included in the anime patch pack, and it came in handy at this time.

I'm such a clever system.

With that in mind, the Legendary Assassin System immediately issued a new mission to its host.

"Case solving: As a detective, solving cases is the most important ability. The host will receive a reward for each case that meets the system's requirements. Task rewards: The rewards vary depending on the difficulty of the case, starting from one million yen, with no upper limit."

Chapter 4: Preparations for the Firm's Opening

The system's extravagance made Jiang Hang feel like he had struck gold.

Jiang Hang still remembers that when he first transmigrated to this world, after the system solved his household registration and identity problems, it gave Jiang Hang a nine-figure compensation as a settlement fee, as if to seal the deal.

Moreover, under the system's arrangement, the source of this money was very reasonable. Part of it was the inheritance of his parents who did not exist in this world, and the other part was the huge insurance payout to Jiang Hang by the insurance company after these non-existent parents died in an "accident".

While assets worth hundreds of millions of yen may not seem like much to those large conglomerates, if Japan in this world doesn't experience a financial crisis that renders that money worthless, he could live comfortably off it for the rest of his life.

And now, this ridiculously extravagant system continues to bombard Jiang Hang's young and fragile heart with massive amounts of money.

Jiang Hang, who initially found it troublesome, began to think about the plot of Detective Conan in the face of this huge sum of money.

Based on his still somewhat lingering memories, he remembered that tonight was Shinichi Kudo's first case after shrinking and starting to live as Conan.

According to his childhood memories of watching anime, it seems to be a case about a rich girl who, after eating her fill, complained that her father couldn't spend time with her every day and planned to kidnap herself, only to be kidnapped by a real kidnapper in the end.

"This case has nothing to do with me." Although he knew the little girl had been kidnapped, he really couldn't remember where she had been kidnapped. A tall building that looked like a big chimney. Although this scene was classic, this was Tokyo, where there were many tall buildings. Heaven knows how Conan discovered that the tall building the little girl mentioned was exactly the one he had identified.

Jiang Hang wanted the system to provide him with some convenience, but the system simply presented him with the initial task.

"Please complete the initial task as soon as possible."

It seems he won't be able to get any help from this rigid system until the firm opens.

"Forget it, I'd better not go running around tonight. Let's get the detective agency up and running first."

While Conan and Professor Agasa were reunited, Jiang Hang carefully collected the feather located above the Kudo residence. The collection of the first feather also provided him with a reward of five million yen and a set of classic assassin clothing from Ezio. This made Jiang Hang even more excited about collecting feathers in the future, as this money-making efficiency was much simpler than solving cases.

As for the other set of reward clothing, although it doesn't come with any attribute or skill bonuses, it's just a beautifully crafted outfit, but it fits his figure perfectly. If there's a chance in the future, he can wear this set to a comic convention for fun.

Back home, Jiang Hang took a nice hot shower. Thinking about how Conan was still soaked in the rain and had to search for the culprit at this hour, his mood immediately improved.

In the distance, Conan, who was holding hands with Ran, suddenly sneezed.

......

Perhaps the system felt that it had become more confident after changing its name. The next morning, just as dawn broke, Jiang Hang, who was used to sleeping until eight or nine o'clock before getting up, was woken up by the alarm clock set by the system.

The built-in alarm clock was indeed terrifying; Jiang Hang couldn't even turn it off.

He wanted to argue with the system about whether he could postpone his wake-up time a little longer, but the system simply threw the exercise tasks in his face, including the one million yen reward he could get for completing the daily exercise tasks.

Despite the annoying alarm clock and the lure of a huge sum of money, Jiang Hang finally got out of bed with a yawn.

A 10-kilometer run, 100 push-ups, squats, and sit-ups—these tasks may seem simple, but an average person might not be able to complete them. After running a few laps around a park near his home, Jiang Hang felt a bit out of breath.

The 10-kilometer run alone took Jiang Hang almost an entire morning to complete. Towards the end, Jiang Hang was jogging at a pace slower than walking, since the system required him to finish the 10-kilometer run in one go, not in segments.

After completing the next few projects and signing in for the first time in his life, almost the entire morning had passed by.

It's also because assassin bloodlines give them much greater resilience than ordinary people; otherwise, Jiang Hang probably wouldn't have been able to keep going halfway through.

Seeing the one million yen he received after completing the check-in, Jiang Hang felt that he could grit his teeth and persevere tomorrow as well.

After a midday break, Jiang Hang started working on the detective agency in the afternoon. Since he had money, many things weren't so troublesome. Whether it was the agency's premises or the legal procedures required to establish a detective agency, they could all be handled through an intermediary.

Driven by the power of money, by evening the real estate agent had found Jiang Hang a number of suitable apartments.

After inspecting several locations, Jiang Hang ultimately chose one that was neither too close nor too far from the Mori office.

It's not like I'd really fall out with Uncle Mori because our offices are too close, but they're only two streets apart, so if anything happens, it's only a ten-minute walk.

Jiang Hang originally planned to spend a fortune to buy an entire floor of a commercial building near the station and renovate it, but Tokyo's housing prices are not as cheap as he imagined, especially those houses near the station. A single floor might not be able to be bought for less than several hundred million yen.

Not to mention that Jiang Hang can't come up with that much money right now, he also wants to learn from Mori's firm and open the firm in his own home. Otherwise, he finds it troublesome to have to run around to and from get off work every day.

Jiang Hang rented a floor of a residential building next to the commercial street for 1500 million yen a year, and he plans to buy the floor when he has more money in the future.

Besides the cost of rent, the renovation of the firm was also a considerable expense. Jiang Hang, who was not short of money, naturally chose to do whatever made him comfortable, so he spent a lot of money on the renovation.

In the days that followed, Jiang Hang's life became simpler. He would get up in the morning to exercise as usual, spend the afternoon looking at the renovation of his firm, and in the evening he would wander around Tokyo to complete his exploration missions.

Just as the deadline for the task was about to expire, the agency finally had everything ready and was just waiting to officially open for business.

Chapter 5: From today onwards, I'm the Positive Energy Detective

"Initial mission completed, mission rewards sent, agency interface opening, please check it yourself."

It wasn't a special day, and there were no special ceremonies.

There were no flowers or VIPs, and even the residents living next door to this building might not know that a detective agency had sprung up in their neighborhood.

It was so simple that Jiang Hang saw the completed office early in the morning and casually said, "So this counts as the official opening, right?" The initial task was already marked as completed before the "Pioneer Detective Agency" sign he had just ordered was even hung up.

However, this simple style is also what Jiang Hang, who dislikes trouble, likes.

He set aside the agency flyers he had prepared to have distributed later and began to check the system rewards and the functions of the newly opened agency interface.

There's not much to say about the meditation skill. In the game, this skill is used to change the game time. Meditate during the day and it will turn into night, and meditate again and it will turn into day.

In reality, this means that it allows him to enter a resting state more quickly and effectively, while also accelerating the recovery of his physical strength and energy during sleep. If he persists in this practice, it can also improve his physical condition.

Although it's not very useful, it's not bad as a basic skill.
