A Salted Fish Assassin's Multi-Fandom Daily Life

His advanced Poison Mastery had him die hundreds of times from various poisons, and his advanced Hidden Blade Proficiency was slightly better, but he had still died dozens of times.

As soon as Jiang Hang saw that the skill was marked as dangerous and that combat was more important, he knew he was probably going to die many more times.

He might even break his personal death record in the training space.

With that thought, Jiang Hang lay down on his bed and entered the training space.

Then, a night passed.

The next day, Jiang Hang woke up from his sleep.

This time, upon waking, he felt as if he had lived through an entirely different era.

It was probably because he had died so many times that he couldn't even remember how many times it was.

All he knew was that he had encountered countless dangers in the virtual space, and any slight relaxation would result in death.

Moreover, the ways he died were incredibly varied: being swarmed and hacked to death by a group of people, being sniped in the head from a distance by a sniper while being swarmed, or being crushed by a falling road roller while being swarmed by a group of people...

In short, it was basically a group of people swarming him in various ways while various other dangers appeared.

His task was to truly survive against all odds.

Even if there was less than a 1% chance of turning the tables, he had to seize that minuscule possibility to survive until the end.

Under the onslaught of that single night, his beginner-level combat skills had even been elevated to intermediate.

As expected, humans could unleash greater potential when they were closer to death.

After spacing out on his bed for a long time, Jiang Hang sent a message to Koharu Yoshino and Shizuka Sakaki, telling them that the agency was closed for the day and they didn't need to come to work.

Although these deaths wouldn't have any mental impact on him with the system's help, it was still better to rest for a day.

Finding an excuse to slack off, Jiang Hang returned to his covers.

Since his combat skills had been raised to intermediate through the training of "Mind's Eye," he felt it would be a waste to use another advanced training book. So, without much hesitation, Jiang Hang tossed the training book to the disguise skill.

"Raising the disguise skill to advanced shouldn't be too difficult... It won't be as miserable as training 'Mind's Eye,' right?" Jiang Hang muttered, while also asking his system.

"System, is it difficult to raise disguise to advanced?"

"Host, you only need to train according to the requirements for advanced disguise skill in the training space. This system will also provide some assistance along the way."

It sounded quite normal. Jiang Hang thought that since he had planned to rest for the day anyway, he might as well train the disguise skill.

After all, the disguise skill could be useful in many aspects of life.

However, after entering the training space, Jiang Hang realized he had been too naive.

Beginner-level disguise had no major difficulties because it didn't allow Jiang Hang to disguise himself as hard-to-imitate subjects.

But advanced disguise was different; it required not only imitating a person's appearance but also their inner personality without being detected.

Disguising as someone of similar height, or taller and stronger than himself, could be done with some auxiliary props. Jiang Hang quickly passed this part of the training.

But for those who were thinner or shorter than him, Jiang Hang was forced by the system to undergo bone-shrinking training.

The pain was as if all the bones in his body were being broken simultaneously, and he was forced to perform various difficult yoga poses.

More importantly, the dog system next to him kept making him feel the mental state of the person he was imitating, otherwise the training would continue indefinitely.

With these three torments combined, Jiang Hang would rather die a few more times.

Dog system, you tricked me!

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: A Gift from the Suzuki Conglomerate

On a clear day, the Beika Art Museum, which had been closed for about ten days, finally reopened.

As the new owner of the Beika Art Museum, Jiang Hang naturally had to be present on the first day of its reopening.

Perhaps it was due to the recent news and public opinion that many onlookers learned about the museum, and perhaps many also remembered visiting it before. Upon learning that the Beika Art Museum would not be closed and converted into a hotel, these people flocked to get a glimpse.

Therefore, on the first day of its reopening, the museum's visitor traffic appeared to be very optimistic.

"Everyone seems quite enthusiastic!" Koharu Yoshino seemed very hopeful about the future of the Beika Art Museum.

Just now, Jiang Hang had appointed her as the "Public Relations Ambassador" for the Beika Art Museum. Jiang Hang felt this job would be very suitable for her, given her potential for advanced interpersonal skills and leadership.

Koharu Yoshino had also, in a daze, gone from being Jiang Hang's little assistant to a "regional governor." However, judging by her current demeanor, she seemed quite spirited.

Of course, Shizuka Sakaki couldn't be left out. Although she hadn't officially debuted as a voice actress yet, Jiang Hang had preemptively given her the roles of "Image Spokesperson" for the Beika Art Museum and an in-house announcer.

These two girls were now excitedly discussing the future development of the museum.

Jiang Hang didn't say anything to dampen their spirits.

He knew very well that these visitors were just a temporary surge of popularity, which would likely last for about a week at most.

After the hype died down, the Beika Art Museum would return to its previous half-dead state, as, after all, it was still a small art museum with few precious collections.

With that thought, Jiang Hang originally planned to walk around the outside of the museum, and also to prevent any pickpockets or thieves from sneaking in.

However, to his surprise, shortly after he started waiting outside the museum, he spotted familiar faces in the crowd.

It was Ran Mori and Conan.

Why did that Shinigami, Conan, come here again?

Jiang Hang felt a bit nervous. While cases in Conan's vicinity usually didn't repeat themselves like in some other shows, what if something unexpected happened on his end?

However, seeing Ran Mori approaching, Jiang Hang went over to greet her.

As he got closer, Jiang Hang noticed there were others with her.

Looking at the girl beside Ran Mori, who was wearing a hairband, Jiang Hang immediately recognized her by that obvious marker.

It was Ran Mori's best friend, the second daughter of the Suzuki Conglomerate, Sonoko Suzuki.

"Miss Mori, Conan, are you visiting the art museum again?"

Ran Mori seemed surprised to see Jiang Hang approach. "Mr. Jiang Hang, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you at the museum again."

She explained to Jiang Hang why she was there. It turned out she was just tagging along; her good friend Sonoko Suzuki had dragged her here, and Conan had come along as well.

As she spoke, she introduced Sonoko Suzuki to Jiang Hang.

As for Kogoro Mouri, according to Ran Mori, her father had been out investigating since yesterday after receiving a commission from a client looking for a father, so he hadn't come this time.

Jiang Hang was about to offer his assistance, mentioning he was quite good at finding people if needed, but Sonoko Suzuki, standing beside Ran Mori, suddenly exclaimed.

"You're Jiang Hang, the new owner of the Beika Art Museum?"

Seeing Ran Mori and Conan look shocked by Sonoko Suzuki's words, Jiang Hang waved his hand.

"It's not really that much related to me, but it's true that the museum is currently under my name. Sonoko Suzuki... is this young lady the daughter of the Suzuki Conglomerate?" he explained, then looked at Sonoko Suzuki.

He wasn't surprised that Sonoko Suzuki recognized him. After all, the Suzuki Conglomerate was a leading conglomerate in Japan that had been around for decades. It would be strange if they didn't know about his background.

He just heard from Ran Mori that she seemed to have come to the museum because of him?

Feeling Sonoko Suzuki's gaze quickly appraising him, Jiang Hang seemed to hear her muttering softly.

"He's not bad looking, but not my type... What a shame, I should have asked my sister to come..."

Considering Sonoko Suzuki's "fangirl" tendencies, Jiang Hang thought it was a good thing he wasn't her type.

After her muttering, Sonoko Suzuki's expression became much more serious, as she wasn't acting like a fangirl.

She took out an exquisite invitation from her handbag and solemnly handed it to Jiang Hang.

"This is an invitation from my father, Shiro Suzuki, for you, Mr. Jiang Hang. Please accept it."

"Shirou?" Jiang Hang was stunned by the familiar pronunciation of the name and blurted out, "Is your father also a hero of justice?"

Upon learning that the name was only similar in pronunciation to that hero of justice and not in writing, Jiang Hang wiped his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said he must have misremembered, redirecting the conversation back to the invitation.

In any case, the invitation from the current chairman of the Suzuki Conglomerate came as a pleasant surprise to Jiang Hang.

As the chairman of a major conglomerate, the Suzuki Conglomerate had collected quite a number of precious treasures, but they rarely displayed them.

Shiro Suzuki's invitation was for an exhibition of the Suzuki family's treasured possessions that he planned to hold soon. He wanted to hold it at the Beika Art Museum and invited Jiang Hang to the Suzuki residence for more detailed discussions.

Jiang Hang was also a bit surprised by the invitation.

The Suzuki Conglomerate wanting to hold a treasure exhibition would be a huge draw anywhere; they would never lack a venue. If the news that they planned to hold the exhibition at the Beika Art Museum got out, Jiang Hang wouldn't have to worry about the museum's visitor traffic for at least the next few months!

He hadn't even met Shiro Suzuki, yet he had sent him such a great gift.

Jiang Hang understood perfectly that Shiro Suzuki was showing goodwill towards him, or rather, towards the background foundation behind him.

After all, Jiang Hang had been thinking about how to improve his industry's ranking.

According to the system's explanation, the improvement of industry ranking required two important conditions to be met: popularity and satisfaction.

If these two values didn't meet the system's requirements, no amount of money would raise the industry's ranking.

Therefore, he couldn't refuse this great gift from the Suzuki family.

Glancing at the invitation date from Shiro Suzuki, which was three days later, Jiang Hang directly told Sonoko Suzuki that he would visit the Suzuki residence on time.

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: You're Something Else, Conan

Out of curiosity about Conan, Jiang Hang casually asked Ran Mori if their agency had encountered any cases in the few days they hadn't seen each other.

Jiang Hang had thought that since he had stolen Conan's spotlight these past few days, Conan should have been a bit more subdued.

To Jiang Hang's surprise, Conan's "death god" attribute was still as fierce as ever. Even without the case on Moon Shadow Island, he still managed to cause deaths wherever he went.

Jiang Hang had gone to Moon Shadow Island for three days, and after returning, he stayed for another two. In just five days, Conan had "accidentally" encountered two murder cases!

Of course, in both instances, the "Sleeping Kogoro" successfully solved the mystery and found the culprit.

Seeing even Ran Mori wear a look of helplessness, Jiang Hang could only sigh inwardly.

You're something else, Conan.

While Jiang Hang was marveling at Conan's undiminished prowess, Conan was also quite impressed with Jiang Hang.

He had tentatively asked Jiang Hang where he had gone a few days ago. Upon receiving the reply that he had gone to Moon Shadow Island on business, Conan confirmed his own suspicions.

He knew about the news of the drug dealers being apprehended on Moon Shadow Island a few days ago. Although Jiang Hang's name hadn't appeared in the news, Conan was certain that Jiang Hang had played a crucial role there.

Unaware of Jiang Hang's heroic deeds on Moon Shadow Island, where he was forced by a coded musical score to threaten the culprit with his Sword Cane, Conan once again raised his evaluation of Jiang Hang in his mind.

I really hope I can turn back into my original body soon and compete with you fairly!

This was Conan's thought after learning that Jiang Hang had solved another major case.

"Conan, please, I'm begging you, just hold back! Don't use your powers next to my art museum again. If you cause another murder case here, this art museum will really go bankrupt!"

This was Jiang Hang's thought after learning that Conan had encountered two more murder cases.

Indeed, the thought processes of two people were never on the same track.

After finally seeing off the Grim Reaper, nothing unusual happened at the art museum.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang Hang returned to his office within the museum.

He hadn't expected that the "Shirobako Five" he had been thinking about for so long would actually appear before him like this.

As he walked into the office, he saw Koharu Yoshino and Miyamori Aoi looking at each other in surprise, as if astonished by how similar they looked.

Jiang Hang had no doubt that if they chatted for a while longer, these two girls, whose personalities were also remarkably similar, would directly swear sisterhood in front of him.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang approach, and after Shizuka Sakaki introduced them, the four girls curiously greeted him.

The absolute core of the group of five: the energetic girl and Musashino's racing queen, Miyamori Aoi; the animator with black twintails, Yasuhara Ema; the literary girl whose name contained "green," Imai Midori; and the last one, the short-haired girl... he really couldn't remember her name. He only recalled that her presence in the anime wasn't very high, and in the plot, she seemed to be making tires at a CG company. So, he just remembered her by the nickname "the one who makes tires."

It wasn't until Shizuka Sakaki finished the introductions that he finally remembered her name was Todo Misa.

According to Shizuka Sakaki, it was a holiday today, and they had learned from her that Jiang Hang had bought the art museum. So, they all decided to come and see what their incredibly rich boss was like.

During their first meeting, everyone seemed a bit reserved. Jiang Hang, however, already knew them and understood that they were all girls who loved anime. To break the ice, he proactively asked about animation-related matters.

As expected, when they started discussing industry topics, the girls who were already working in the animation industry had endless things to talk about.

When they learned that Jiang Hang planned to acquire or invest in animation companies to produce anime in the future, the girls all let out exclamations of admiration.

After all, they were also a group of girls striving for their dreams. Simply put, the adjective "for their dreams" was equivalent to "having no money."

Investing in animation companies to produce anime was something too distant for them at the moment.

"I'm still very optimistic about you all. I know Musashino Animation. Although it hasn't released any new independent works in many years, I've also heard that your company has a new project recently. We should be able to see a new work from Musashino Animation next year, right?"
