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

"I've already filled in my name, but what's in the gift bag in my backpack? A citizen of Beika Town? Is this map only for Beika Town?"

Vermouth habitually entered her organization code, first glancing at the red dot on her backpack to open it and take a look, then looking down at her body from all angles.

She felt like there was something strange going on, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Gin and Vodka, after entering their names, both experienced a strange feeling.

This device seems to be different from the one in the organization.

The most obvious thing is the UI of the interface in front of them.

concise.

Unlike the training equipment in the organization, which pops up a daily recharge offer of 150 yen as soon as you enter, and whose store is full of pay-to-win outfits.

"Everyone, open the gift packs in your backpacks and take a look. Also, don't read the function descriptions, just open them."

Seeing that the three of them had finished their operations, Qi Ming suddenly spoke with some impatience.

After all, gossiping is human nature.

Qi Ming felt a thrill from prying into other people's inner secrets.

Speaking of which, if someone longs for someone and actually pulls someone out of it, wouldn't that mean they've got someone...?

Qi Ming suddenly wanted it.

If he had a newbie pack right now, he'd probably open a dozen of them from this box.

"...What is he doing?"

Vermouth watched as Qi Ming's expression changed constantly, from suppressing a laugh to looking confused, and now to being melancholy.

Incomprehensible.

Qi Ming quickly regained his composure and looked at Gin and Vodka, rubbing his hands together like a fly while nodding and looking up repeatedly.

"Don't just stand there, open it now! And whatever you do, don't look at the item descriptions, or you won't be able to open the gift pack."

Qi Ming had a general idea of ​​what Vermouth might produce.

What he most wanted to know was what Gin and Vodka would actually come up with.

Even now, Qi Ming has no idea what they want or what the ultimate goal of humanity is.

If it were in the past, Gin would probably have gotten a pair of glasses or something, so he could tell who was an undercover agent just by looking at them.

But he doesn't need such things anymore.

Maybe he's a repressed pervert?

Who knows, they might pull a woman out of the box.

Vodka is also someone without much ambition, so it's not surprising that he pulled out a woman who looks similar to Gin from the newbie pack.

"……All right."

Vermouth sighed.

Weren't we supposed to help them see a new world? Why are we doing all this?

Besides, you created this whole game.

They're opening blind boxes, but you're the one who put these in. Why are you getting so worked up?

Without further thought, Vermouth opened the newbie gift pack first.

The ribbon was untied, the lid was opened, and beams of golden light suddenly burst forth from the box.

The drop rate is really high.

As the golden hue faded, Vermouth frowned and took out a... pocket watch.

"what is this?"

Although it is a pocket watch, the markings on the dial are not like those of a typical clock.

The first number is not 1, but 6.

The number at the finish line is not 12, but 125.

Moreover, there are no minute or second hands, only an hour hand.

At this moment, the hour hand is stopped at the mark of 29.

"Don't move yet!"

Seeing Vermouth open the newbie gift pack, Qi Ming immediately stopped her and snatched the pocket watch from her.

Well, Vermouth, you've even managed to pull off the time-stopping pocket watch?

This was Qi Ming's first thought upon seeing the pocket watch, especially since the word "time" was also on the item's name.

However, it's clear that this kind of golden legend, which even he doesn't have, is impossible for others to obtain.

【Item Name: Body Time Adjuster】

[Item Description: If I could do it all over again, I'd choose... jungle.]

[Item Function: Rotate the knob to any mark, press the start button above, and the physical age will be adjusted to the current mark]

[Can be used once every 24 hours, or after 24 hours press the knob twice to return to the current age]

"..."

After reading all the descriptions of the pocket watch, Qi Ming's expectations instantly vanished.

So this thing is just a simplified version of the character creation system, right?

No, it shouldn't be called a simplified version, but rather a youth version.

At least without looking at photos, Qi Ming cannot use face-shaping to 100% recreate his childhood appearance.

Qi Ming looked up at Vermouth, and the look in his eyes made the latter feel uneasy.

He handed the pocket watch back, cleared his throat twice, and said...

"This thing you found is amazing. Just as I expected, this pocket watch can stop time!"

"If you drag the hour hand to a certain number, you can pause time for that many hours!"

Vermouth crossed her arms and responded casually.

"Oh, is it so?"

Qi Ming nodded emphatically.

"So I strongly suggest you adjust the hour hand to 6 now."

After saying that, Qi Ming handed another box to Vermouth.

"But this pocket watch seems to have side effects. If you find anything wrong, open this box in your backpack. The contents inside can help you resolve the side effects."

"……Oh."

Vermouth, utterly dejected, accepted the box and pocket watch.

Based on her experience of being tricked by Qi Ming so many times...

The one I found is definitely not a good thing.

Pause time?

Can the longest pause be 125 hours?

Who believes it!

"Hurry up, hurry up, turn the knob on the side to tell the time, and then press the button on the pocket watch."

Hearing Qi Ming's urging, Vermouth could only raise her hand and turn the knob to do as he said.

Seeing this, Qi Ming immediately pulled Gin and Vodka around, plugged their ears, and blindfolded them.

He wasn't exactly a gentleman; his main concern was that something bad might happen.

"..."

Seeing Qi Ming's actions, Vermouth felt increasingly uneasy.

She really didn't want to press that button.

But there was no way around it; if she didn't press the button, she figured this guy would definitely give her a hard time once she left the game.

The clock had already struck six, and Vermouth finally pressed the button.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in her mind. To Vermouth's shock, she clearly saw her body shrinking visibly!

It turned out to be the case.

Even though Vermouth hadn't read the item description, she knew the purpose of the pocket watch at that moment.

Because all she could think about was how Qi Ming would help them acquire these extraordinary abilities as well.

So she momentarily overlooked the pocket watch's default time.

29, the same age she appears to be.

This is clearly something that adjusts age.

"..."

Unlike ordinary women who would immediately scream, Vermouth waited until her body stopped shrinking, then clenched her now-small fists and glared fiercely at the three people who had turned away.

The main thing was glaring at Qi Ming.

Remembering what Qi Ming had just said, Vermouth immediately opened the box that Qi Ming had given her in her backpack.

Her inventory immediately filled with a bunch of clothes, pants, and shoes that she could wear in her current state.

"..."

I definitely got scammed.
