A Scientific Urban Detective

#19 - Lin Wuming's Shared Living

According to the pre-arranged plan, Lin Wuming moved into Aiho Yomikawa's apartment, temporarily becoming "family."

Aiho Yomikawa's apartment was very clean and tidy because she had a habit of relieving stress by tidying up whenever she felt overwhelmed.

Due to the series of related incidents triggered by Lin Wuming's fall from the building, Aiho Yomikawa accumulated a lot of stress, which ultimately manifested in the clean and tidy state of the apartment.

"Your room is ready," Aiho Yomikawa said. "I even prepared a study for you to use for studying; do your best on the entrance exam next month!"

"Thank you, but the exam shouldn't be a problem," Lin Wuming said.

Aiho Yomikawa didn't doubt it. As Lin Wuming's current guardian, and also as a teacher herself—albeit a physical education teacher—she naturally paid attention to Lin Wuming's academic performance.

Just as Lin Wuming claimed, passing the entrance exam for the second year of middle school was not difficult for him at all. In fact, Aiho Yomikawa had already noticed that middle school-level courses—unless it was a school like Tokiwadai Middle School—were not challenging for Lin Wuming at all.

If the age issue was ignored, it wouldn't be a problem for him to skip grades and go directly to high school.

However, considering Lin Wuming's Level 3 esper ability, it was not surprising that he showed this level of academic ability.

The esper abilities in Academy City are inherently a system focused on brainpower; here, smart people are not necessarily high-level espers, but high-level espers are definitely not stupid.

Like the group of girls at Tokiwadai Middle School, although they are still a group of middle school girls, the difficulty of the courses they are learning has actually reached the level of college.

One of the admission standards for Tokiwadai Middle School is Level 3 or higher espers, and Lin Wuming happens to be on this qualified line, so by analogy, he should also be able to directly handle college courses.

However, Aiho Yomikawa is, after all, just a physical education teacher. She doesn't have the same obsession with academic performance as other teachers, so she didn't object to Lin Wuming's "lying flat" strategy.

Moreover, Lin Wuming's injuries have not yet fully recovered, so it's better for his school courses to be easier.

As for Lin Wuming, he was even more satisfied with his guardian.

In his opinion, Aiho Yomikawa, who doesn't interfere with his "lying flat" and leisure time, is simply the ideal guardian!

Setting aside the matter of time travel, the greatest significance for Lin Wuming in returning to his youth is that he has a lot more time to squander.

In his "previous life," Lin Wuming, like the vast majority of ordinary people, started working hard from school and continued to work hard even after graduating from college and entering the workforce, without any time or leisure to enjoy life. Whenever he looked back on the past, he couldn't help but feel regret.

Now, it's great that the regrets of his childhood can finally be made up for in his "childhood"!

—Novels, anime, game consoles, he now has money and time, and he can make up for all the childhood debts he owes in one go!

What's more, the social atmosphere here doesn't reject these things.

Aiho Yomikawa herself bought a lot of manga and game consoles. However, she became the one who owed childhood debts, buying manga that she didn't have time to read, and game consoles that she never even turned on, all piled up in an empty room gathering dust.

After learning about Lin Wuming's wish, Aiho Yomikawa immediately contributed all her collections, allowing Lin Wuming to play whatever he wanted.

Lin Wuming's arms had not fully recovered, but he could use his telekinetic ability to control the controller. It was also because of this that he completely got rid of the risk of being "handicapped." No matter what game, as long as he understood the game's controls and his mental reactions were up to par, he could beat it.

Therefore, Lin Wuming played games very enjoyably and smoothly—if his injuries had healed and he played games "hands-on," he probably wouldn't be able to achieve this level!

Similarly, not only playing games but also other things in life, for Lin Wuming today, there is no situation where "the brain has learned it, but the hands don't know how."

Telekinesis deserves to be called a "universal ability." No matter what kind of thing, as long as Lin Wuming's brain understands the execution steps, he can perfectly reproduce it.

Therefore, Lin Wuming took over all the housework at home.

Aiho Yomikawa did not stop him. She also saw that Lin Wuming didn't put in much effort to do housework, his efficiency was very high, and it could also exercise his esper abilities; for her, who was busy with work, it was also good to have someone who could take care of her daily life—the only downside was that when she was under too much pressure, she couldn't relieve stress by tidying up the room.

But she could relieve stress by playing games!

Aiho Yomikawa not only did not stop Lin Wuming from indulging in games but also enthusiastically joined in herself. She even felt that playing games with Lin Wuming was very enjoyable!

Although Aiho Yomikawa had bought game consoles and a pile of games before, she had never turned them on to play a game herself.

Busy with work, and alone, she really couldn't muster the interest to play it herself. She just habitually bought every new release—buying it was the same as playing it.

Now, with Lin Wuming at home, Aiho Yomikawa began to officially enter the video game project in the name of accompanying him to play games; in addition, Lin Wuming's current level is high enough, and he also knows how to play games with others, which makes Aiho Yomikawa even more addicted, and even has a momentum of forgetting to eat and sleep.

As a result, Lin Wuming became the one taking care of others. In addition to daily housework, he also took care of three meals a day—with the assistance of telekinesis, the "cooking" skill also got rid of the limitations of the "hands" and could perfectly replicate the dishes on the recipe tutorials.

Aiho Yomikawa's own cooking skills were not bad, but she was good at the strange "rice cooker style," using several rice cookers to conquer the cooking world. The taste was surprisingly good.

But Lin Wuming always felt that it was not right if he didn't eat authentic stir-fried dishes, so he simply took over the kitchen.

Now, all Aiho Yomikawa has to do is buy groceries and the cooking utensils and seasonings that Lin Wuming needs.

At first, she felt a little guilty, but she quickly realized the convenience and usefulness of Lin Wuming and his telekinetic abilities, so she immediately "fell."

As for Lin Wuming, he was originally living in Aiho Yomikawa's house, and he didn't even need to pay rent. He wasn't thick-skinned enough to take these things for granted, so he took the initiative to do housework, which could be regarded as a kind of "quid pro quo."
