The coffee shop murder case a few days ago yielded 500,000 yen, and today's TV station murder case yielded another 600,000 yen.

Despite the producer's death, he still pocketed the two 500,000 yen commissions that the TV station had promised when they invited two popular idols.

With money, it's natural to want to participate in lotteries.

What's more, he has just been assassinated and is now in grave danger.

"I'm injured today, so I won't be bowing."

Fujino stared at the Profession Ball lottery interface and took a deep breath.

The system immediately activated the Profession Ball draw.

1.8 million, 20 consecutive draws!

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 2 Enhancement Card strength by 100%, 3 Enhancement Card reaction speed by 100%, a purple System Card Fusion Device, 4 Golden Item Random Draw Pack Fragment, 5 Batman's Anesthetic Dart...]

"System Card Fusion Device?"

Looking at the pile of things that had just been pulled out, Fujino's gaze was drawn to the only purple item.

After a pause, he opened the system inventory and clicked on the detailed introduction of the [System Card Fusion Device]:

[System Card Fusion Device: Allows you to fuse and upgrade multiple low-tier Enhancement Card using a certain amount of gold. Note: Fusion Ascension!]

"If the system description is correct, this should be the thing that can fuse basic Enhancement Card."

Fujino pondered for a moment, then took it out of the system's inventory.

The card fusion device is shaped like a dark black rectangular inkstone, 50 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide.

There are five slots on the lower part of the inkstone, while there is only one slot on the upper part.

It's probably used to hold Enhancement Card.

The fusion unit isn't very large, but it's quite heavy.

Even the moment he took it out, the unexpected weight almost caused him to fall to the floor.

"Five slots..."

Fujino placed the fusion device on the floor and glanced at the five slots. "Looks like I need five Enhancement Cards?"

Immediately, he took out five 100% Strength Enhancement Card from his Pocket Dimension and placed them on the table.

[Low-level Enhancement Card detected]

[Does the host choose to fuse five 100% Strength Enhancement Card into a 200% Strength Enhancement Card?]

[Current integration requirement: 100,000 yen]

"Merge!"

[Nine thousand yen has been consumed for the host; fusion has begun]

A system notification sound rang out.

The originally dark fusion device began to emit bursts of warm light.

A moment later, the five Enhancement Card transformed into a streak of light and converged towards the top card slot.

As the light faded, an Enhancement Card calmly appeared in the card slot.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 200% Strength Enhancement Card: Enhancement duration is ten minutes]

"This enhancer is a good thing."

Fujino put away the Enhancement Card. "I can say I don't have much of anything else, but I've actually gotten quite a few Enhancement Card lately..."

A moment later, Fujino spent another 450,000 yen to fuse three Enhancement Card reaction ability by 200% and two Enhancement Card strength by 200%.

Current balance: 600,000 yen

Fujino glanced at the system balance, then turned his gaze to the two items he had just pulled out of the system warehouse.

[Golden Gift Pack Fragments: Collect 20 to exchange for a random golden item]

"So, I need to collect twenty of them to get the gold item?"

Looking at the fragmented items, Fujino couldn't help but complain, "As expected of this pay-to-win system."

That's what they say, but gold items are definitely worth collecting fragments for.

After all, as things stand now, gold items are all incredibly overpowered.

Take Pocket Dimension as an example.

Although expanding storage space requires spending money, the actual effect is definitely worth it.

Then, Fujino turned his gaze to the Bat Dart:

[Batman's Tranquilizer Darts: High-tech darts created by a Gotham City tycoon, capable of instantly paralyzing an adult. After impact, the darts slowly biodegrade. Note: Wear gloves when using them.]

Judging from its texture, the Bat Tranquilizer Dart should be made of metal.

The surface was coated with a layer of dark black, while the blades between the wings were silver-white.

And between the two wings, there is also an adorable bat ear.

All I can say is, it truly lives up to its name Bat Dart.

It is said that Fujino was stolen from Mr. Bruce.

After all, only a certain richest man in Gotham could come up with something like Tranquilizer Darts.

As for biodegradation... that remains to be tested.

To be honest, Fujino didn't believe this thing could be biodegradable.

However, if the system says it can, then it probably can.

Anesthesia that leaves no trace is at least better than the Tranquilizer Dart of some Shinigami Elementary School Student.

"We'll find out when we find a few unlucky people to test it out."

Just as Fujino put away the Tranquilizer Darts, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"Ding! Host's Detective Level Up to beginner level four. Detective bounty mission has been issued!"

"Another wanted mission?"

Fujino was surprised to hear this.

If he remembers correctly, this is the second time the detective wanted mission has been triggered.

The last time it was triggered, the random equipment pack he received gave him a Life-Saving Windbreaker.

I wonder what kind of mission will be triggered this time, and what kind of reward will be given.

After pondering for a moment, Fujino opened the system interface:

Detective Bounty Mission: Arrest Monk Tianyong

Mission Location: Takao Mountain, outside Tokyo, near Shan Ni Temple

Mission countdown: Three days

Mission Rewards: 3 million yen bounty, 200 Detective Reputation points, and a random equipment pack.

"The Monk Tianyong?"

Fujino examined the tasks on the system interface, rubbing his chin. "If I remember correctly, this should be the Misty Tengu Murder Case, right?"

Two years ago, a strange case occurred at Shan Ni Temple.

The monk Zhongnian in the temple was suspected of being hanged by the Great Tengu in the temple's meditation room.

Because of the many suspicious points in this case, and the fact that the police did not find any evidence of homicide, the case was hastily concluded as a suicide.

However, the truth is that the abbot of the temple, Monk Tianyong, murdered Monk Zhongnian.

The motive for the murder was to prevent him from eloping with his granddaughter Kikuno.

The monks at the temple, Tadashi and Kikuno in love.

However, reality presented them with numerous obstacles.

Kikuno was engaged to the heir of another temple when she was very young.

Two lovers, deeply in love, plan to elope that night in order to escape their arranged marriage...

However, just before they planned to elope, Abbot Tianyong discovered their elopement plan.

To prevent the marriage alliance between the two temples from falling through, the Monk Tianyong cruelly murdered the Monk Zhongnian and staged a scene where a great tengu killed someone, thus making a fortune from the incident.

Having suffered the devastating blow of her lover's death, Kikuno now completely disheartened.

She eventually married the heir of another temple through a marriage alliance.

"That's really true. If you're going to talk about unlucky people, then unlucky people will come knocking on your door."

Gathering his thoughts, Fujino's lips curled into a strange smile.
