A Scientific Urban Detective

"Interested in being a butler, Anonymous?" Tezzo Tsukuri asked, turning her head as Lin Wuming came out of the kitchen. "I think you have a real talent for it."

"Spare me," Lin Wuming barely managed to suppress the urge to roll his eyes. "Rather than taking care of others, I'd much prefer to be taken care of by maids or butlers."

"I can't see that at all. You're clearly very good at taking care of people," Tezzo Tsukuri said in surprise.

"Being good at something and liking it are two different things." Lin Wuming maneuvered his wheelchair to the TV. "I'd also love to just laze around and enjoy life, but the circumstances don't allow it right now."

"Let's not talk about that. There's still some time before Yomiikawa-sensei gets back, so let's have some fun in the meantime." Grabbing a game controller with his telekinesis, Lin Wuming challenged Tezzo Tsukuri.

If he remembered correctly, Tezzo Tsukuri was actually very good at fighting games.

"Okay!" Tezzo Tsukuri readily accepted. "We happen to have a collection of the 'Geki-Sho' series here, so let's play that! Yomiikawa told me you're also good at fighting games…"

From that day on, a neighbor who would occasionally come over for dinner was added to Yomiikawa Aiho's household.

However, Tezzo Tsukuri and Yomiikawa Aiho already had a good relationship—friends, neighbors, and colleagues at the same school. Even before, they would often have a drink together after work.

Although she would occasionally complain jokingly, Yomiikawa Aiho never actually turned her away.

In Yomiikawa Aiho's words, Lin Wuming had the final say in the matter of "food" in the house. Since Lin Wuming hadn't said anything, she, who was just crashing for meals, had even less reason to refuse.

And in Lin Wuming's opinion, this was Yomiikawa Aiho's house, and Tezzo-sensei was the homeowner's friend. He was just a guest staying at the house, so of course, he had no right to interfere with guests.

Not to mention, after spending time together, he realized that Tezzo Tsukuri was also a nice person, more gentle and approachable than Yomiikawa Aiho; and her fighting game skills were excellent. When fighting her, Lin Wuming didn't need to hold back, and even had to go all out and take it seriously.

Day after day passed, and Lin Wuming's mobile phone service was restored to normal on the third day, but due to the previous service interruption, the number of incoming calls was much lower.

Lin Wuming didn't care about this at all, and even enjoyed the peace and quiet, comfortably staying at home and rarely going out. The security forces were also satisfied with this situation.

"I only get one or two formal requests a day. It's so leisurely," Lin Wuming sighed. "I'm actually not used to it."

"Wuming, didn't you, always say, you wanted to… 'lie flat,' enjoy, a leisurely life…" Komori Kimizuki said from the side, her words broken up by the sit-ups she was doing. "How come, now you're, not used to it?"

"Maybe… I'm just born to be busy…" Lin Wuming gave a wry smile. Before he transmigrated, he went seamlessly from school to work, always busy and never truly enjoyed a "leisurely" life; without the external work tasks, he felt somewhat at a loss.

"No," Lin Wuming shook his head and said, "Actually, it's just boring. I'm tired of playing games, and I can't get into manga and novels. I don't know what to do for the time being."

"Then hurry up and recover from your injuries," Komori Kimizuki did a carp jump and leaped up from the yoga mat. "It's a waste to spend so much time on entertainment. You might as well use it to exercise."

These days, Komori Kimizuki and Lin Wuming stayed at home together, rarely going out except to visit Dr. Sakurai at the hospital.

However, she wasn't idle either, and instead found the yoga mat and dumbbells in the house and started exercising.

Having just finished her sit-up exercise, Komori Kimizuki grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She looked at Lin Wuming and said, "Sitting in a wheelchair all the time will make your body rust."

"I'll talk about it after I recover from my injuries," Lin Wuming said. "But why have you suddenly started exercising recently?"

"What do you mean suddenly recently?" Komori Kimizuki glared at him. "I've always been exercising. After all, my previous living environment… not exercising was the same as giving up hope of survival."

"It's just that I stopped exercising to prepare for the surgery," Komori Kimizuki explained. "Help me pass the dumbbells… Since Sakurai-sensei will need some time to recover, I'll just have to resume my daily exercise."

Lin Wuming used his telekinesis to send the dumbbells placed in the corner to the girl: "I didn't expect you to be so serious and disciplined…"

Thinking about himself, it was a good thing he had the excuse of "recovering from injuries" at this time, otherwise… he would really feel a little ashamed.

"There's another reason," the five-kilogram dumbbells seemed weightless in the girl's hands, moving up and down with her forearm. "I've been participating in the training for Judgment, and there's a physical fitness test in it, which is surprisingly quite strict."

"So you started exercising."

"That's right. You should also do some restorative training as soon as you recover from your injuries, otherwise, you might not pass the assessment."

Lin Wuming wasn't too worried: "I'll exercise. At least the assessment shouldn't be a problem—and if I'm not restricted from using my superpowers, I can pass it now."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"…" Thinking of Lin Wuming's fancy application methods of telekinesis, Komori Kimizuki was speechless for a while. "Isn't it too clever to cheat with superpowers?"

"Superpowers are originally one of the selection criteria for Judgment, so Wuming's approach is probably fine," Yomiikawa Aiho walked in from the entrance hall. "I'm home!"

"Welcome home!" Lin Wuming went to greet her at the door. "Why are you off work so early today?"

"The schedule during the holidays is very flexible," Yomiikawa Aiho smiled. "But I did come back because I have something to do—you were feeling bored, right? Perfect, now there's something to do!"

"Is there a request?" Lin Wuming's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked.

"Another illegal research facility has been discovered?" Komori Kimizuki also walked over with the dumbbells.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not that kind of thing, it's not that serious, so don't be too nervous." Yomiikawa Aiho waved her hands repeatedly and explained, "It's a power level test—Wuming hasn't taken a formal power level test yet, right? Whether it's the selection for Judgment or the application for the new semester, power level is necessary information, so we're conducting a separate test for you."
