Who Has People Dying Every Day in a Normal World?
"But speaking of being cool, I feel that Ms. Jodie's marksmanship is more superb."
Fujino looked at Jodie, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said with a smile, "After all, the way she held the gun and her posture were just too professional, like a professional detective."
Jodie paused briefly, her expression momentarily stunned.
Clearly, she hadn't expected that her unconscious use of shooting skills would be noticed.
The Great Detective in Japan is a little scary...
After thinking for a moment, she immediately came up with a corresponding response and said in a strange tone, "Oh~ that's too kind! Actually, I studied shooting in the United States, so I just unconsciously used shooting games and stuff like that."
Fujino remained calm. "I see. I'm really envious. You get to touch a gun."
"It's nothing... By the way, do you guys want to do something exciting?"
Jodie changed the subject, saying, "This arcade has the number one fighting game right now!"
Afterwards, the group arrived at an arcade game called "Super Warrior Spirit".
Ran was the first to sit on the Game machine, and she was immediately surprised when her hands and feet were locked by the device.
Jodie leaned against Ran and gently pushed her right hand away.
Then, a burly man appeared on the Game machine's big screen and punched the screen.
"Ah--"
Ran tilted her head, "My face is numb..."
Will damage taken in the game be reflected back to the player?
Fujino fixed his gaze on the Game machine in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He was becoming increasingly unsure about the technology in the Conan World.
In the future, there may even be contactless Brain-computer interface games similar to Metaverse.
Things like this don't even exist in his future.
However, a single kick of a soccer shoe can destroy a satellite, and a belt can withstand a fall from a 100-meter-tall building without any damage.
If you think about it, the Conan World cannot be approached with common sense at all.
In any respectable world, people die every day.
"Fujino- san is right! The damage you take in this fighting game will be reflected back to the player."
Jodie nodded in agreement, saying, "Although it only feels numb, it is indeed a bit difficult for girls."
"Is that so?"
Ran's face darkened, and she narrowed her eyes, staring directly at the burly man on the screen.
"..." Conan broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that Ran was getting serious.
The enraged unicorn doubled its fighting power, and soon the burly man on the screen was taken down in one go.
Fortunately, the machine was quite sturdy and wasn't damaged by the unicorn girl when she was in a serious state.
"As expected of Ran!"
"Impressive..."
Just as Ran had won, a shirtless character suddenly appeared on the screen, pointing at the screen and saying, "I'm going to kill you!"
"What does this mean?"
Ran looked at the screen, somewhat puzzled.
"This is the other side declaring war on you."
Jodie glanced back at the Game machine behind her. "You'd better be careful, that guy is really tough."
"I see..."
Ran also looked back, then revealed a resolute gaze.
However, the fight had barely begun when Ran took two solid punches to her abdomen and chest.
"Ah--"
"Hateful!"
The pain was simultaneously fed back, causing Ran to let out a soft cry.
Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to look at the man behind him.
The man's lips curled slightly at that moment.
It's obvious that those two blows were intentional...
Fujino turned around, stared at the character on the screen, and said in a deep voice, "Fighting games are not real-life fighting. You don't need to stick to ordinary karate techniques. Your competitive karate footwork is too clumsy, and you'll be easily hit by your opponent."
"I see!"
Ran nodded.
Although things became much easier afterward, they still lost in the end.
"We lost..."
Sonoko looked at the display on the screen, seemingly somewhat surprised.
"What a pity..."
Jodie crossed her arms, looking somewhat disappointed.
"If you lost, you'd better get out of here, little sister!"
The man removed his helmet, turned around, and arrogantly declared, "That golden throne is my exclusive spot..."
Fujino turned his head and glanced at it.
He was a man wearing a vest and jeans, with a square face, a fierce expression, and blond hair.
Yeah, a typical petty thug.
"How awful!"
Sonoko was a little annoyed. "Ran, let's play another round. This time, we'll definitely teach him a lesson..."
"That's impossible!"
A curly-haired man in a suit vest walked over, opened the coin box of the Game machine, and interrupted, "That guy Vito, is a veteran player of this game. He knows all the buttons on the controller. Newbies like you have no chance of winning."
"Ladies, could you please move your seats?"
At that moment, Vito walked over, glanced at the group, and said flippantly, "If you don't want to move aside, you can sit on my lap and play games!"
"Hateful..."
Upon hearing this, Conan became furious and clenched his fist, wanting to kick Vito on the head.
Upon hearing this, Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head, and chuckled at the man, "Hey you, you said this is your special spot. Is your name on it?"
"Ha?"
The man looked at Fujino upon hearing this. "This has always been my designated spot. Ask anyone who doesn't know that. I'm only letting it slide today because you're new. If it were anyone else..."
"I see."
Fujino nodded. "So, you're just a small-time hoodlum who hangs out in arcades all day, treats this place like home, and even made a name for yourself... an unemployed bum, right?"
"What did you say?!"
The man immediately approached Fujino, appearing somewhat agitated.
Do you want to fight?
Fujino glanced at the man, his eyes narrowing slightly, and at the same time, an unusual aura emanated from his body.
The man suddenly felt a glow on his back, stopped in his tracks, and stood frozen in place.
Just as Fujino said, he was indeed a petty thug, and had even joined a violent organization...
As a member of a violent organization, he was all too familiar with this kind of aura, but he had only ever seen this kind of imposing presence on the gang leader.
Who exactly is this kid?
The man couldn't help but swallow hard.
"But fighting someone like you... feels beneath my dignity..."
Fujino ignored the man's reaction, turned his head and continued, "How about we have a match?"
"Hmph, you want to compete with me in games?"
The man gave a sinister smile. "Don't come crying to your mom if you get beaten up later!"
He has thoroughly mastered this game.
They have mastered the technique of striking multiple times without killing the opponent, while maximizing the pain they feel.
Although it won't cause any physical harm, the continuous pain can still bring tears to your eyes.
Fujino's lips curled slightly.
He figured out the game too.
Although the amount of pain is fixed, the sensitivity of pain receptors varies throughout the body. Trying to play this game with someone who has such medical knowledge...
