Chen Zhuo and Fu Luo's Grudges

Although Lin Yu was probably the only one Player who recognized Fu Luo, the others still lowered their guard after witnessing Fu Luo's performance.

Rather than saying...

Anyone who sees Fu Luo being chased like a dog by a small robot wouldn't find him threatening.

Li Nian sighed, "Well, everyone's been mistaken. Turns out, this kid is really bad."

Chen Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle, "This is nothing compared to me... I could even put up a fight against this robot if I were willing to use some consumables!"

Wang Yuyang looked at Fu Luo and asked a more practical question.

Should we take him with us?

Before Lin Yu could speak, Pan Yuqiang spoke up.

"Straw hat, light-colored hair, looks like a foreigner, Yu Province accent," the Executive Department member of the "Psychology Society" seemed to recall something, glancing at her boyfriend.

"Yu Yang, save him first."

Upon hearing Pan Yuqiang's words, Wang Yuyang did not question them and stepped directly into the carriage.

"Friend, I'm here to help you!"

He spoke loudly, his hands clasped together...

This time, what emerged from Wang Yuyang's hand were two thin metal darts.

He flicked his wrist with his Right Hand, and the dart shot out swiftly.

"Ding! Crack!"

The two darts arrived one after the other. The first dart landed in front of the rotating wheel beneath the robot, cleverly causing it to lose its balance.

The second dart was aimed at the robot's chassis—this dart had no head, but a magnetic magnet at the top.

"Snap!"

The dart stuck to the bottom of the robot, then burst into a bluish-white arc of electricity.

"Crack!"

The already small robot collapsed to the ground with a thud and instantly stopped moving.

In a mere instant, Wang Yuyang had resolved the robot that had been troubling Fu Luo for so long.

Fu Luo had been easily rescued by Wang Yuyang, stopped fleeing and slumped into a chair as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're saved!"

Then, he looked in the direction of his savior.

Lin Yu saw Fu Luo push up his straw hat and scanned everyone with his appraising gaze.

Then, the "Detective" stood up again.

"Thank you all for your help. My code name is 'Sherlock,' and my Profession is 'Detective'... May I ask your names?"

Upon hearing Fu Luo's self-introduction, Pan Yuqiang stepped forward. "As expected, you're that 'Detective' who hasn't yet reached the rank."

Lin Yu understood what Pan Yuqiang meant.

Sure enough, she recognized Fu Luo... but she didn't know how they knew each other.

Logically speaking, although Fu Luo is famous, he is not to the point that everyone knows him.

Moreover, judging from Pan Yuqiang's reaction just now... she must have heard of and learned about Fu Luo, but had never actually met him in person.

Upon hearing Fu Luo's self-introduction, one person became even more excited.

Chen Zhuo looked at the other person and exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, you're Lucky Dog!"

Upon hearing Chen Zhuo's exclamation, Fu Luo flicked the brim of his hat, put away his straw hat, and changed into an ordinary Baseball Cap.

"You rude Little fatty, calling me by my nickname offline, huh?"

Hearing Fu Luo Yu Province accent and condescending tone, Chen Zhuo was somewhat annoyed. "So what if I call you Lucky Dog? You talk nonsense on the forum every day... I just can't stand you!"

After speaking, he moved closer to Lin Yu and Li Nian, his imposing manner increasing.

Seeing Chen Zhuo's expression, Fu Luo pondered for a moment, then stroked his chin. "Did you argue with me on the forum recently?"

"Of course, you sprayed me all night for no reason!"

Chen Zhuo said angrily, glancing at Lin Yu out of the corner of his eye.

Fu Luo suddenly realized.

"Oh, I know who you are, you're 'Ai-chan,' right?" He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Damn, you're so petty! I just said a couple of things, that Conan is a pseudo-detective and that many cases are a bit idiotic, is that really necessary?"

Chen Zhuo's face flushed red. "How could it not be? Don't be so dismissive. I admit that most of the reasoning in Detective Conan is just so-so, but your exact words were, 'Anyone who can watch 800 episodes of this kind of idiotic episodic drama that's full of logical loopholes and masquerades as a mystery is a genius among geniuses. It's understandable to be a fan for the characters, but those who like Ai Haibara are just pedophiles who've never seen a woman in their lives' -- you said that directly in the comments of my post. I've already kept it to myself, why are you getting so angry!"

Fu Luo couldn't hold back any longer. "I really did plagiarize. Is that what you call 'enjoying your own space'? Even if there's a water zone on the forum, you can't build a 'true love' thread for Ai Haibara in the 'Death game' themed forum, can you? Do you really think this is a forum like Tieba?!"

"The Administrator didn't delete it!"

Chen Zhuo became even more eloquent.

As the two exchanged words, their online grudges gradually became clear.

Of the remaining people Pankto, being a non- Player, naturally couldn't understand a word...

Of the four Player, three were not allowed to access the forums.

Lin Yu, the only one who could access the forum, didn't frequent the casual chat section much.

Therefore, all four people were shocked by the actions of the two.

"Both sides are utterly brain-dead."

Li Nian smiled and sighed.

Pan Yuqiang fell into deep thought, "Our organization rates 'Sherlock's' potential quite high. Although he hasn't 'advanced' yet, many people are observing him... Could we have made a mistake?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but find the scene of the two arguing amusing.

But she still looked at Li Nian.

"Don't just watch the show, let's deal with it."

"At least one of them is our employer... and this can't go on forever."

Lin Yu spoke softly, Li Nian pouted.

Why aren't you going?

"I'm not good at this—I'm good at bluffing and intimidation, but not so good at mediation."

"Especially for Player."

Lin Yu spoke calmly.

Li Nian shuddered, as if recalling the outcome of her previous attempt to have Lin Yu negotiate with Heavenly Artisan.

"Indeed, I'll do it."

As she spoke, Li Nian stepped forward and patted Chen Zhuo on the shoulder.

"Although supporting you in a war of words isn't part of my job, consider it a bonus. Remember to give me a five-star review."

Li Nian lowered her voice as she spoke, then looked at Fu Luo.

"Hey, Sherlock, you've already introduced yourself and know who this Little fatty is."

"But we haven't introduced the rest of us yet... Let me tell you, the short-haired woman in white and I were hired by this Little fatty, and the other couple are my friends."

"My codename is 'Master Thief,' the short-haired woman's codename is 'Zhu Ming,' and the guy in that young couple is 'Designer'... It's okay if you've heard of them before."

The three of us are from the "Freedom Alliance".

"By the way, the woman in the young couple I was talking to earlier, whose code name is 'Citalopram,' is an officer of the 'Psychology Society.'"

"Therefore, I advise you to be discerning..."

Before Li Nian could finish speaking, she felt a figure blur before her eyes.

"Thump!"

Fu Luo knelt down with lightning speed, took Chen Zhuo's hand, and looked serious.

"Brother, Ai Haibara is the most perfect woman in the world."

"All my previous slander against Ai-chan stemmed from my jealousy and incompetence. Only people with warped values would think that a resilient and intelligent woman like Sherry doesn't deserve to be liked. I deliberately belittled Ai-chan to flaunt my own unconventionality."

"Furthermore, Detective Conan is a very profound work. The fact that it has been able to continue serializing and producing a large number of episodes for so many years, with a few minor flaws in some episodes, is just a minor flaw that doesn't detract from its overall excellence. Gosho Aoyama is the true god of Japan mystery. Soji Shimada and Seicho Matsumoto have been overly mythologized. They were just lucky and ordinary people who were born before Aoyama."
