Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

After the launch, the group began playing various games around the venue. Kogoro Mouri was left on a stool to sober up. The crowds of people were bustling around, laughter and chatter were surging, and the atmosphere was lively. As Conan walked, he secretly decided to defeat Chen Shuo in the game and give him a lesson.

"Chen Shuo, I want to challenge you!" Conan said suddenly, with a challenging gleam in his eyes.

"Oh? What do you want to play?" Chen Shuo smiled slightly, seeming to be very interested in Conan's challenge.

"Let's play this shooting game and see who gets the higher score!" Conan pointed to a game console in front of him, his heart full of confidence.

"Okay, I'll take it!" Chen Shuo agreed readily, but he was thinking in his heart, shooting... Kudo boy, you're just walking into trouble.

Several people gathered around the game console. The screen flashed with colorful images, and the rules were simple and clear. The player with the highest score, whoever hit as many targets as possible within the time limit, won. As the game began, Conan focused intently, trying to perform at his best. His fingers rapidly tapped the buttons, attempting to close the gap with Chen Shuo.

"You're taking this too seriously, Conan!" Mao Lilan teased beside him, "This is a game, not a life-or-death case."

"This is different. I want to prove that I can win!" Conan said with gritted teeth, somewhat unconvinced.

However, reality was cruel. Chen Shuo remained calm, his fingers moving effortlessly, as if every target was under his control. His score soared, while Conan's score gradually widened as he struggled to catch up.

"Why? How could this happen?" Conan became more and more frustrated as the fight went on. He began to doubt his own abilities, as if his confidence had been hit in an instant. He had studied marksmanship at the Hawaii Vocational and Technical College.

"Hey, kid, relax, games are meant to be fun!" Seeing this, Chen Shuo smiled and tried to ease Conan's tension.

"Fun? I'm about to lose!" Conan couldn't help but shout in his heart, trying hard to adjust his state, but everything seemed to be of no avail.

Finally, the game ended, and Chen Shuo won with an overwhelming advantage. Conan could only shake his head, his heart full of doubts: "Is this my limit?"

"It's okay, come and challenge me next time." Chen Shuo patted his head and encouraged him.

"Next time? How can you be so relaxed!" Conan felt that he must work hard to regain his dignity.

Chen Shuo smiled slightly, ignoring Conan who was doubting his life, and turned to Mao Lilan and said, "Next, what do you want to play?"

"I want to try that fighting game!" Mao Lilan pointed to a fighting simulator not far away, her eyes flashing with excitement.

"Fighting? Okay, I want to try it too!" Chen Shuo nodded and walked to the machine with Mao Lilan.

"Then let's get started!" Chen Shuo seemed very interested. He actually liked playing games very much and was good at it. He had no choice before, but now he had to have fun.

"I'm a master of fighting games, Xiaolan, you'd better be careful!" Chen Shuo said confidently, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Please, let it go a little, Brother Shuo." Mao Lilan clasped her hands together, looking a little nervous. She had obviously never played this kind of game before. "I really don't know how to do it."

"It's okay, just try it first and relax." Chen Shuo said with a smile, thinking to himself that winning or losing is not important, what is important is to enjoy the process with friends.

As the game started, Chen Shuo effortlessly displayed his skills, his combos flowing smoothly as he easily dealt with Mao Lilan's attacks. Mao Lilan, on the other hand, seemed a bit bewildered, not knowing how to operate the system, and her fingers randomly tapped the buttons.

"You have to press this button! Only then can you make a move!" Conan was giving instructions, but Mao Lilan still made a mess of it. Occasionally, she hit a few buttons, and the character ended up running around on the screen like a headless fly.

"Ah! What should I do?" Mao Lilan was a little anxious, with a helpless look in her eyes.

However, just after Chen Shuo easily defeated her several times, something unexpected happened. As Mao Lilan's fingers randomly tapped the buttons, her character unexpectedly completed a series of complex combos, as if her hands had given some mysterious instructions.

"Wow, what am I doing?" Ran Mao Li was stunned, with surprise flashing in her eyes.

"What? How could this happen?" Chen Shuo suddenly became nervous. He hadn't expected Mao Lilan to be so lucky. As she operated, the character performed a set of difficult-to-replicate special moves on the screen, as if performing peerless martial arts.

"Go! Ultimate move!" Ran Mao Li exclaimed, her fingers pressing the buttons quickly. The flashing effect on the screen made her feel extremely excited in an instant.

Just when Chen Shuo wanted to fight back, Mao Lilan's character suddenly completed a gorgeous spin, killing Chen Shuo's character instantly, and the words "Game Over" appeared on the game screen.

"What? I lost?!" Chen Shuo was stunned and shocked. He couldn't believe his eyes and felt a strong sense of doubt in his life.

"I... I actually won!" A brilliant smile bloomed on Mao Li Ran's face. She seemed completely unaware of what had just happened. She jumped up, full of joy.

"That's impossible!" Chen Shuo rubbed his eyes and shook his head, his heart filled with confusion. "Have you really never played this kind of game?"

"No, I just pressed it casually!" Mao Lilan responded happily, as if she didn't care at all.

"How bizarre! This is totally unscientific!" Chen Shuo's eyes flashed with shock. "How is this possible? I've never seen this move before, and you pulled it off so easily?"

"I don't know what happened. Maybe it was luck. I was very lucky today!" Mao Lilan chuckled and shrugged, seeming very surprised by her victory.

Just as Chen Shuo was questioning his fate, one of the three people who had been in front of him walked over, his face brimming with excitement. He introduced himself, "Hi, everyone! My name is Takeshita. I'm from Mantiantang Company, and I designed this game."

"Wow, so you're a designer!" Mao Lilan's eyes sparkled with admiration. "Your game is so fun!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Takeshita responded with a smile, seeming to enjoy the recognition. "By the way, I saw your moves just now, they were amazing! That special move was quite complicated!"

"I don't know what happened, maybe it was just luck!" Mao Lilan said shyly, then asked curiously, "Do you have any game recommendations?"

"Actually, I have a new boxing game console here." Takeshita pointed to a running game console. A strong man next to him was trying it out. He was swinging his fists quite well and the score on the screen was rising rapidly.

"Wow, this game looks fun!" Ran Maoli's eyes flashed with excitement.

"That's right, look at this player, he scored 246 points with one punch! What a pity, if it could exceed 250 points, there would be a special animation display." Takeshita sighed softly, looking a little regretful.

"Nakajima, you try it!" Takeshita suddenly called his colleague Nakajima. Nakajima was a tall and strong man with an imposing demeanor, giving people an impression that he should not be underestimated.

Nakajima smiled slightly, walked forward, stood steadily, took a deep breath, and then punched down. A high score of 348 points immediately popped up on the screen.

"Wow, that's awesome!" Ran Mao Li couldn't help but cheer, her eyes flashing with excitement.

"This game is really good and suitable for relieving stress." Nakajima said confidently.

Seeing this, Takeshita turned to Mao Lilan with a smile on his face: "Xiaolan, do you want to try it? You can relieve some stress!"

At first, Mao Lilan was a little shy and didn't want to try it, but when she heard Takeshita say that she could vent stress, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes, and her mind involuntarily thought of her entanglement between Chen Shuo and Kudo Shinichi.

"Okay, I'll try!" She clenched her fists, a fighting spirit burning in her heart.

Standing in front of the game console, Mao Lilan took a deep breath, and as she vented her troubles, she punched it hard, and an extremely high score of 400 points instantly popped up on the screen.

"Wow! This is amazing!" Everyone around was stunned, staring at the screen intently, and looking at this seemingly petite girl with admiration.

"You actually scored 400 points!" Takeshita shouted excitedly, as if he had created a miracle with his own hands.

"I don't know why this happened... Maybe it's because I'm practicing karate!" Ran Maoli was a little shy, but there was pride in her eyes.

"Xiaolan, that's really good!" Chen Shuo was observing from the side and couldn't help but applaud when he saw Mao Lilan's high score. He knew Xiaolan's strength, so it was not surprising that she could get such a score.

"Hehe! Thank you, Brother Shuo," Mao Lilan said excitedly, "Brother Shuo, you should try it too!"

"Me? No, I don't want to be defeated by you." Chen Shuo hurriedly refused, but Mao Lilan's enthusiasm made it impossible for him to refuse.

"You can't just run away like this, I really want to know how much you can hit!" Mao Lilan's eyes were full of anticipation. She knew Chen Shuo's hidden identity, and she wanted to know how powerful people in this profession could be.

"Okay, okay, let me try." Chen Shuo was finally infected by her enthusiasm and had to step forward and put on boxing gloves.

"Remember to use force!" Mao Lilan reminded from the side, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

"I will." Chen Shuo smiled slightly and saw what Mao Lilan was thinking. In that case, he decided to give Xiaolan some shock.

As the game started, Chen Shuo seemingly casually threw a punch, and the numbers on the screen instantly soared. Just as he was enjoying it all, the screen suddenly went black, the game console issued a warning sound, and seemed to have received a considerable vibration, and a puff of white smoke came out.

"It seems... this game console has some quality issues." Chen Shuo ignored the stunned crowd around him, took off his boxing gloves calmly, and placed them in the dazed Takeshita's hands.

"Oh my God, big brother, are you a human-shaped Godzilla?" Takeshita's eyes widened and his face was full of shock.

"No! Chen Shuo's punch is definitely not simple!" Conan exclaimed in his heart, and his doubts about Chen Shuo deepened: "He is indeed not an ordinary person!"

The crowd gradually gathered around, their gazes fixed on Chen Shuo in amazement. At that moment, everyone was silently wondering what kind of power could easily destroy the game console.

"This is incredible!" Mao Lilan said in surprise, covering her mouth: "Brother Shuo, you are too amazing!"

"I didn't expect that the quality of this machine needs to be improved." Chen Shuo shrugged helplessly, his tone indifferent, seeming very pretentious.

"Now... I have to re-examine the strength of your 'Brother Shuo'." Conan thought to himself, and then began to think about some of the abnormalities shown by Chen Shuo.
