Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Qi Ming frowned and used his prosthetic eye to look around.

However, no third person was found in the building.

Hmm~ Could it be a ghost?

Wait a minute, that voice sounded familiar...

Qi Ming suddenly thought of something and asked again, puzzled.

"Ai-kun."

"Ok?"

Two voices rang out again.

One came from Ai Haibara in front of me, and the other came from the bedside table—

Mobile phone.

Qi Ming's eyes widened.

This phone has a unique design, and its appearance will still be considered good-looking even five or ten years from now.

Adding my own wake-up call...

"Holy crap! A Remy phone!"

Seeing Qi Ming shouting and holding up the glowing screen that had just made a sound, Ai Haibara leaned forward with some confusion.

"Is this board... a cell phone?"

"Oh, a smartphone? Never seen one before, have you?"

[Host, version update information has been sent. Please check on your phone.]

[Original data has been moved after the phone update]

Just then, the system voice sounded, and the phone also emitted a notification tone.

"Is this a sign of technological innovation? But since virtual reality has already been developed, it's about time that smartphones came out too."

Qi Ming eagerly opened his phone's text messages.

[Version Update: This game has been updated to version 2.0 - Age of Chaos. The update details are as follows:]

1. The crime rate has increased significantly, leading to more random chaotic events. The host has a chance of entering a chaotic event when traveling.

2. The technology version has been updated to the smartphone era, and the host phone has been automatically replaced with a Remy phone.

3. Fixed a series of bugs, including teleportation misalignment.

4. Enhance immersion and increase character agency; more characters will proactively interact with the host.

5. Please explore and experience more content on your own.

This version is a free system update. Versions 2.0 and later require the host to attempt to update manually.

Current update rate: 2.36%

"Is this a message from your AI?"

Ai Haibara moved a little closer to Qi Ming and could see the contents of the text message on his phone.

"It's either artificial intelligence or a system. Have you ever read a system novel? Oh, I don't think there are any in this era. I'll write a novel for you to read another day and you'll understand what I mean."

"..."

Ai Haibara said she couldn't understand at all.

Qi Ming read the updated information.

To be honest, it feels like a lot of things have been updated, but I don't really know what they're for.

What is a chaotic event?

And this version update? What the hell? You stopped updating the system and now I have to generate my own electricity to maintain the server?

When the host generates an event, the update progress will accumulate automatically based on the host's behavior. When it reaches 100%, the version will be automatically updated.

Example: The host can assemble a space warship and declare war on the world. The version update rate will be increased to 100%, and the game will immediately update to the new version, "Crisis Era: Alien Invasion".

understood.

Qi Ming rubbed his chin, finally understanding why the system had personally intervened yesterday and made such a commotion.

It seems this was to demonstrate how to update the version for him.

However, he was somewhat curious about this chaotic event, so he decided to go out and take a look first.

"Ai, what do you want to do today?"

"...I want to buy a set of equipment to facilitate future research."

Ai Haibara lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then looked up and said.

Qi Ming nodded, "You can go ahead, we can each do our own thing today, I'll go out for a stroll too."

Anyway, now that this little sister doesn't play children's games anymore, he can let her run wild.

However, just as Qi Ming got out of bed and took a half step forward, his clothes were grabbed by a small hand.

Qi Ming turned around and asked in confusion.

"what are you doing?"

"I...I don't have any money right now...can you lend me some?"

Ai Haibara blushed and said shyly, but she barely uttered the last sentence.

Qi Ming ignored the subtitles and nodded knowingly.

"No money? That's true. If you don't have money, then things will be difficult."

"..."

"Why are you staring at me like that? If you don't have money, go find a way to make some!"

Ai Haibara glared at Qi Ming, embarrassed and annoyed.

She took a deep breath and then said sweetly:

"Brother Qi Ming~ can you lend me some money?"

Qi Ming shuddered and pulled out a piece of white paper, handing it to Ai Haibara:

"Okay, then write an IOU, 14 percent per year."

"...It's really dark."

After Ai Haibara finished writing the IOU, Qi Ming put the IOU away and took out a bank card to hand to her.

Ai Haibara's eyes twitched involuntarily as she took the bank card.

It looks familiar, very familiar indeed.

Isn't this the New Year's money Chianti gave her yesterday?

I actually borrowed my own money and had to give someone an IOU?

"Wait a minute, I remember I also had a laboratory."

Qi Ming patted his head and stomped his feet in front of a certain floorboard.

The floor suddenly trembled and slowly moved upwards, revealing a descending staircase.

Ai Haibara stared blankly at the stairs.

I've been staying at home for so long, and there's still a secret passage?

"What are you standing there for? Let's go."

……

After descending several dozen steps, there is an elevator in front of you.

After the two entered the elevator and descended for an unknown distance, the elevator doors slowly opened.

"You're telling me this is a basement?"

Looking at the scene before her, Ai Haibara was a little dazed.

What kind of future technology is this?

What kind of guns are those hanging on the wall? And why does she feel like she can vaguely see the corner of a tank over there?

This isn't a basement, it's a bunker!

This is Qi Ming's secret magic house; he had been here before when he went to the casino.

After all, this house was purchased through the system, and since it's located in the Beikacho area, you can take the elevator directly from the house.

"Tsk, isn't it normal for every villa to have a basement to store odds and ends?"

"..."

You call these miscellaneous items?

"I remember the lab was around here."

Qi Ming looked at the map and led Ai Haibara around to the laboratory.

Ai Haibara was marveling at the completeness of the machines and materials here when she saw Qi Ming pull out a piece of white paper and wave it in front of her.

"Come on, let's write a lease agreement."

"Didn't I just write an IOU?"

“An IOU is an IOU, and a lease is a lease. If you want to use my machine now, you will definitely have to pay.”

"..."

Therefore, she now owes not only a sum of money that should rightfully belong to her.

Do I need to pay another rental fee?

Black, too dark.

Ai Haibara mechanically wrote the IOU, just as Qi Ming's phone suddenly rang.

Base 1

The sender was Gin.

"You take care of it yourself for now, I'm going to the base to find Lao Qin."

"Bye, on the way... um, is space travel safe?"

What is this little girl saying?

Qi Ming rolled his eyes at Ai Haibara and was about to teleport away when he suddenly appeared in front of her and said seriously:

"Remember, never go to the room where I kept the body."

"……I won't!"
