Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

But just as he was halfway through speaking, he realized.

This case, which had been solved, seemed to have little to do with this high school detective.

The real hero should be Sato, who came with Oozora Gin's information.

"Sato, you did well!"

Inspector Megure changed the subject and immediately praised his subordinate with relief.

Winning without lifting a finger was indeed satisfying, but too often, it would inevitably draw criticism from the news media.

Although he no longer hoped for a promotion, being called in by his superior to be lectured every now and then was by no means an easy experience.

This incident should give him some peace for a while, right?

"Actually, it wasn't my credit." Sato clearly wasn't the type to claim credit. She humbly pointed to Yin Kong beside her, "Actually, it's all thanks to this young man, Yin Kong, for the reminder."

Takagi also nodded in agreement, his tone filled with admiration:

"That's right, as soon as you asked about the suspect, Yin Kong already noticed that the owner of Treasure Tsuruma was acting strangely."

Inspector Megure looked at the unfamiliar Yin Kong with surprise, and said excitedly:

"Could it be that Mr. Yin Kong is also a detective?"

Although Kudo Shinichi was very capable, he didn't mind meeting more famous detectives.

Tools were never too many, were they?

Kudo Shinichi also became interested at once, with a hint of unwillingness in his expression.

No matter what, the mere fact that someone found the killer before him was enough to bother this proud high school detective.

Although Yin Kong seemed to have gotten involved in the case earlier than him, no matter the reason, he was still one step ahead.

Yin Kong naturally noticed Kudo Shinichi's undisguised scrutinizing gaze, but he didn't pay it any mind and took out his business card to hand to everyone.

"All-Purpose Agency [Cunning Rabbit House]?"

Ran tilted her head, looking curiously at the business card Kudo Shinichi was holding, a little surprised.

Yin Kong smiled slightly and introduced himself:

"That's right, our Cunning Rabbit House undertakes all sorts of commissions, and we look forward to cooperating with all of you."

Ran looked astonished and poked her childhood friend beside her with her finger:

"Shinichi, that sounds interesting. It's the kind of profession you often see in manga."

Hearing Ran's praise, Kudo Shinichi's expression naturally became even more displeased.

He pouted and subconsciously said:

"I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's probably just trivial tasks like catching cats and dogs?"

Ran angrily punched her outspoken childhood friend.

After all, not only was that rude, but even his father seemed to have been swept up in it.

"It's fine. Rather, I actually welcome such simple commissions."

Yin Kong smiled, his expression sincere.

Because in his experience, these cat and dog tasks were the easiest to trigger daily commissions.

In contrast, commissions that private detectives most often encountered, like catching adulterers or investigating infidelity, were very difficult.

Yin Kong felt that this wasn't because the system favored cats and dogs, but simply because these miscellaneous commissions, strictly speaking, were already on the verge of crime.

Although in the game's storyline, the [Traveler] was wanted almost every time they arrived in a country, the daily commissions were basically about helping local residents solve various difficulties.

From this perspective, the possibility of triggering a quest for a missing person commission should be higher.

It was just a pity that his Cunning Rabbit House had only just started and had no reputation at all.

Let alone finding people, he couldn't even get a few commissions for catching cats and dogs, and sometimes he couldn't even complete the four daily commissions.

If he could take on more cat and dog commissions, he would definitely welcome them with open arms.

However, his magnanimity only made Ran feel more guilty.

Kudo Shinichi, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow, lost in thought:

Although he disdained commissions like catching cats and dogs, it didn't mean that such commissions were truly simple.

Because generally speaking, when a client comes seeking help, the disappearance most likely happened several days ago.

Even Kudo Shinichi himself couldn't guarantee that he could solve such a commission.

Therefore, this Yin Kong was clearly just boasting.

Kudo Shinichi pouted and was about to expose this guy's tall tale when he noticed Ran's fierce gaze from the side.

Ultimately, he wisely swallowed the sarcastic words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Chapter 9: The Best Partner

In the end, Yin Kong did not manage to win the prize money from the eating competition.

Since the boss, Treasure Tsuruma, has been imprisoned, the competition naturally fell through.

However, being able to complete two daily commissions at once wasn't too much of a loss.

Compared to Japanese Yen, Primogems were obviously more important.

Thinking about it, he really needed to find a "Miss Katherine" soon.

Otherwise, even if he completed four daily commissions, he'd only get the most basic rewards, and such a waste was heartbreaking.

It was embarrassing to admit, but even though it had been over two months since he transmigrated, Yin Kong had only managed to earn a little over a thousand Primogems in total, not even enough for a single ten-pull.

But considering there were no map-wide quests or chests, no events or mail, and even cheat tools like world-altering modifiers were sealed, this speed was actually normal.

What made Yin Kong particularly helpless was that his first nine single pulls had all resulted in three-star weapons, not a single character, his luck was astonishingly bad.

But no matter what, in three days at most, he would have enough Primogems for this tenth pull.

Thinking of this, Yin Kong couldn't help but open the gacha interface.

[City of Lingshu Morning][Bonds of the Time · Zhongli].

Unknowingly, the gacha banner in the game had already entered its fourth rotation.

Looking at the man who could be considered the most secure in all of Teyvat, Yin Kong sighed helplessly.

At his current rate, he wouldn't be able to hope for any five-star characters for at least half a year. It was more realistic to aim for the four-star characters.

Among the featured four-star characters, Xinyan, Razor, and Chongyun, Yin Kong naturally favored Chongyun the most.

Whether as an exorcist or a naturally pure yang body, he would surely be of great use in this bizarre, demon-infested Tokyo.

Of course, there was still the possibility that the guaranteed four-star would still be a weapon—

Yin Kong shook his head, closed the gacha interface, and decided not to dwell on such a cruel future for the time being.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he spotted a white glint on a street-side vending machine.

In the game, these fixed points of light were called Investigation Points, and players could obtain a small amount of Mora by investigating them.

Some Investigation Points would also yield weapons and artifacts below two stars, commonly known as "fodder."

However, it was clear that Investigation Points in reality couldn't be fixed in location and respawn on a timer like in the game.

Therefore, how many one could encounter each day was purely a matter of luck.

[Mora ×300]

Seeing this result, Yin Kong was not surprised at all.

Because in the past two months, he had only obtained seven weapons through this method.

As for artifacts, he hadn't even seen a shadow of one.

However, Yin Kong didn't leave immediately. Instead, he took the opportunity to search the surroundings carefully.

As expected, he soon found a Yukichi Fukuzawa bill in the shadow beneath the Investigation Point, at the bottom of the vending machine.

"Good luck."

This time, Yin Kong was genuinely surprised.

Because based on his experience, the amount of these "sudden windfalls" was usually only around a thousand.

A ten-thousand bill was equivalent to a "grand prize."

If it weren't for the hungry emergency food waiting for him back at the apartment, just searching for Investigation Points all over the city would be enough to maintain a basic livelihood.

But thinking of the emergency food, Yin Kong pondered for a moment before walking into the department store not far away.

When he walked out of the building, he had two boxes of Coffee Jelly in his hands.

"[Paimon], you're finally back!"

And when Yin Kong opened the apartment door, as expected, a white figure immediately pounced towards him.

"Alright, Paimon, of course, I wouldn't leave you behind."

Clearly, in this world, only this little guy would still call Yin Kong by this name.

Squeezing Paimon's soft cheeks, Yin Kong finally relaxed completely.

"And I've said it many times, my name is Yin Kong now. If you're not used to it, you can call me Traveler..."

[Paimon] was the name Yin Kong had given himself in the game.

If it were in the game, this ID wouldn't be considered strange, even falling into the relatively normal category.

But when Paimon earnestly called him that, Yin Kong couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Sorry, but after all these years, it's normal not to be able to change it right away—Wow, Coffee Jelly!"

Mid-sentence, Paimon's attention was completely captured by the sweets, her eyes turning into stars.

Yin Kong gently shook his head, a doting smile appearing on his face unconsciously.

After eagerly tearing open the packaging, Paimon didn't completely lose herself and remembered to share half with Yin Kong:

"Traveler, this is for you."

"Hmm, should I say thank you?"

"Hehehe, don't be so stingy. What's the difference between yours and mine?"

While enjoying the sweets, Paimon also asked with a look of longing about the day's competition:

"By the way, Traveler, is the ramen in this world delicious? How does it compare to Varka's?"

Yin Kong shook his head and said:

"The taste is actually quite good, but it's a shame there are those monsters everywhere, so I have no appetite at all, and a murder also happened."

After listening to Yin Kong's simple narration of his day's experience, Paimon also sighed:

"As expected, selfish bad guys like that really exist everywhere."

However, after her sigh of emotion, she also realized:

"Wait, if that's the case, won't the time I'm [Sealed] here be extended again? I don't want that!"

The [Seal] Paimon mentioned was, of course, not real.

In fact, Yin Kong couldn't possibly imprison his best companion; she could fly out of this small apartment anytime she wished.

It was only due to safety concerns that Yin Kong chose to let this little guy stay here temporarily.

After all, this was not Teyvat. A glib little spirit like Paimon, once exposed to the public eye, no one knew what kind of sensation it would cause.

Of course, if it were just this, it would be fine. The real key was those all-pervasive monsters.

Paimon suddenly appeared after Yin Kong placed the only Teleport Waypoint he had.

In this little one's memory, she was just teleporting with the Traveler as usual when she suddenly arrived in this world.

Furthermore, Paimon, like Yin Kong, could also see those terrifying monsters.

Perhaps because Teleport Waypoints had the power to dispel darkness in the game, when Yin Kong placed the Waypoint in the apartment and lit it up, those demons and monsters slowly left the area.
