The Doctor and the Fighter

The next day at noon, in Beika Town, at the Fujino residence.

A bright and sunny Shinichi begins, as if the darkness of last night's dawn has vanished.

Fujino stood in the dimly lit room, pasting a photograph onto a wall covered with red threads.

He took a red string from the cabinet next to him and strung it together with the other photos.

"Based on the existing evidence, it can be confirmed that the Alcohol Company is the organization that killed the original owner's parents a year ago."

Fujino stared calmly at the photos on the evidence wall. "But why did the Alcohol Company kill them? Was it because of the Fujino Zaibatsu?"

"The Fujino Zaibatsu is now bankrupt, so things should have stopped... But why would they go to such lengths to sacrifice an outsider who could have taken his own life to assassinate me? Are they afraid I'll investigate the truth behind this incident?"

Something's not right.

Fujino frowned slightly. "If you're afraid he'll find out the truth, you shouldn't have stopped after the assassination failed once."

"Given the Alcohol Company's style, they should be willing to blow up my little building, so why would they fake an accident?"

The evidence in his brain kept coming together, making Fujino feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Fujino closed his eyes slightly, pinched his philtrum, and after a moment he suddenly asked in confusion, "Are you afraid of something?"

"The Fujino Zaibatsu has already gone bankrupt. What could possibly be related to me now that could pose a threat to the Alcohol Company?"

Fujino stared at the clues on the wall, his mind filled with questions.

If the Alcohol Company is truly afraid of something, then it shouldn't take action against him anytime soon.

Of course, this is just speculation.

But if it is really as he guessed, then there must be more unpredictable truths hidden behind this incident.

Gathering his thoughts, Fujino opened the system interface:

Current host balance: 4.8 million yen

"Although we don't know if the Alcohol Company will continue its assassinations, shouldn't our top priority be to strengthen our own capabilities?"

Fujino glanced at his system balance and sighed. Then he opened the system interface and began his Shinichi lottery draws.

Forty consecutive draws!

[3.6 million yen has already been consumed for the host]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Purple Profession Card (Doctor), Purple Profession Card (Fighter), Blue Water Gun with Headshot Result, 7 Blue Bat Dart, 12 Random Gold Item Fragments, 1 Seven-Inch Coffee Cake, 1 Women's Dress, 3 Curry Self-Heating Rice...]

"Two professions were actually introduced this time?"

Fujino looked at the two class skills he had drawn and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Then, the system's job panel was opened:

[New secondary profession: Doctor: Beginner (0-100)]

Professional skills:

Basic medical knowledge (mastery of basic medical knowledge)

Angel in White (Basic): Increases the effectiveness of basic healing on others by 50%.

Save Others, Save Self (Basic Level: Increases the host's physical self-healing ability by 50%)

"Angel in White, Save Others, Save Self..."

Fujino examined the doctor's professional skills and murmured, "So, the two professional skills are used to increase the ability to save lives and enhance one's own professional skills?"

As the system describes, a doctor's professional skills are used to enhance their self-healing abilities and their ability to heal others.

For Fujino, the ability to heal himself is the most important of all his skills.

As the name suggests, self-healing ability is the effect of enhancing recovery ability.

This means that the external injury that originally took Fujino ten days to heal can now be healed in about 6.5 days.

As for the healing effect on others...

Although it may not seem that important, it is still very practical.

If he becomes a doctor in the future, he can cure diseases that others can only cure in ten days in six and a half days. He'll be a great doctor.

Well... if the treatment is too good and too fast, there's a high chance of being fired from the hospital.

Anyway, he's not going to be a doctor, so who cares?

As for the effectiveness of basic medical knowledge, Fujino understood it the instant he mastered the skill.

As the system describes, that skill is the ability to provide basic knowledge about various medical fields.

At this moment, in Fujino's mind, that knowledge was like a library, readily available for him to access...

With his current basic medical knowledge, although he may not be able to perform surgery immediately, he can still perform some basic emergency treatment.

"But how do I get career points for the Doctor Profession? I can't exactly become a nurse... or practice medicine, can I?"

Pulling herself together, Fujino sighed and complained.

Then they turned their attention to the fighter profession:

[New Secondary Profession:]

Fighter: Beginner (0-100)

Professional skills:

Basic Fighting Knowledge (basic fighting skills)

Fighting Expert (Beginner: Increases host's strength by 20%)

Fighting Sense (Basic: Increases the host's perception ability by 20%)

"Is this time about enhancing my own fighting skills?"

Fujino watched the Fighting Expert's skills and twitched his chin.

This time, it's not a limited-time enhancement, but a permanent one.

It truly enhances his physical strength.

And just like the basic knowledge of Doctor Profession, the knowledge of Fighting Expert also flooded into his mind, just as before.

He now possesses a considerable amount of knowledge about fighting techniques.

He can access and use that knowledge at will.

Just like other professions that gain proficiency points, there is only one way for Fighting Expert to gain proficiency points.

Beating someone up...

Compared to doctors, it's much easier for Fighting Expert to get skilled at beating people.

After examining the item for a while longer, Fujino turned his gaze to the only blue item he had obtained this time: [Auto-Headshot Water Gun].

[Auto-Headshot Water Gun: This water gun has an automatic headshot function, but it can only shoot water (Note: The water gun does not need to be refilled; the water volume is unlimited)]

An endless Red Rope, an endless supply of black tea, and now an endless water gun.

Well, Fujino was already used to seeing these strange blue items.

"Ring ring!"

Just then, a phone rang from Fujino's pocket, interrupting his thoughts.

I took out my phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

"Excuse me, are you Detective Fujino?"

As soon as the call connected, an unfamiliar voice came from the other end.

Judging from his voice, he should be a young man in his twenties.

Fujino didn't recognize the voice and asked in confusion, "I am. Who are you?"

"Hello, Detective Fujino, I'm Nakajima Hideaki the game development department of Manga Paradise..."

Fujino frowned upon hearing this and asked into the phone, "Mr. Nakajima, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this, our company is currently planning to develop a detective-themed game, and we'd like to invite you, Detective Fujino, to serve as our producer..."
