A Scientific Urban Detective

"So, your current trouble is…" After listening to Accelerator's complaints, Lin Wuming directly confirmed with words, "You are being bothered by those low-level and foolish challengers, and because you are unwilling to resort to killing and establishing your authority, you have fallen into your current predicament."

"Hmph, this lord is just too lazy to kill them," Accelerator said. "Those small fries are not worth this lord's attention."

Lin Wuming smiled and nodded, saying, "Not killing people is good, or rather, you must never kill people! For you, killing is always the worst solution."

Not having started killing meant that Accelerator had not yet turned from a "person" into a "monster." As long as he could be persuaded to adhere to the principle of "not killing," then the plight of the Misaka sisters would be half-solved.

Accelerator was surprised to hear this and looked over, "Lin Wuming, with what qualifications are you saying this to me? In the process of fighting against illegal experimental organizations, haven't you killed people?"

--Wasn't there supposed to be an information blockade? How does everyone know about my dark history?

Lin Wuming complained in his heart, while also bracing himself to explain, "It's precisely because my strength is limited, unlike you who are so strong. In order to solve problems, I can only kill the enemy physically. But you have absolute crushing power, and you can directly defeat the enemy's mental will, so naturally, you don't need to eliminate them physically."

After hearing this, Accelerator sneered, "Didn't you hear the troubles I mentioned earlier? Defeat the enemy's spirit? Are you playing with me?"

It was because he couldn't mentally subdue those challengers, and didn't want to physically eliminate them, that he had fallen into this awkward situation.

"It's different," Lin Wuming shook his head, and then explained, "Specific problems require specific analysis, and the actual situations we face are different. The enemies I face are professionals, they know fear, and they can also see the strength of their opponents. If I also had strength as powerful as yours, then the enemies I face would most likely not choose to fight, but would immediately run away or surrender. So there would be no need to use killing to solve the problem."

"In fact," Lin Wuming paused, and then continued, "As my reputation gradually spreads, it has actually had a similar effect - in my most recent action, after the enemy recognized me, they directly lost the will to fight and resist, and there was no need to continue fighting."

Lin Wuming's personal experience made Accelerator's eyes light up: "That seems to make sense."

Lin Wuming nodded and continued, "And your problem is that those challengers you face actually can't understand what level 5 means, and are fearless because of their ignorance - people who really know how powerful you are wouldn't rush over to challenge you brainlessly, right?"

"You're right." Accelerator looked at Lin Wuming - this was a ready-made example, because he knew how strong he was, Lin Wuming only probed slightly before immediately stopping, not continuing to pester him.

Lin Wuming probably guessed what he was thinking, but didn't care, "So, Accelerator, what you need to do is very clear - find a way to raise the level of your challengers, at least, you need to get people who really know what's what to challenge you, instead of these ignorant small fries."

"In this lord's view, all challengers are the same small fries," Accelerator said.

"That's not important." Lin Wuming waved his hand. "The key is not the strength of the challengers, but their insight. You need to make them retreat in the face of difficulty, so that you can get rid of the annoyance of being constantly harassed."

"That makes sense." Accelerator nodded, "So what exactly should I do?"

"It's not difficult to say," Lin Wuming immediately said, "First of all, since you are already the strongest in the world, then simply admit it, and find a way to publicize it widely…"

"Admit it? Publicize it widely?" Accelerator frowned. A significant part of the reason why he was stuck in his current state was because he ignored Academy City's rankings and looked down on the so-called NO.1 from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, Accelerator had naturally never actively acknowledged or responded to this ranking. As a result, this indirectly gave those "challengers" the illusion that this NO.1 was easy to take down.

And these third-rate "challengers" in turn made Accelerator feel that Academy City's ranking was even less prestigious, and therefore he was even more repulsed by the title of NO.1…

Now, Lin Wuming was asking him to acknowledge this title, and Accelerator subconsciously wanted to object.

"Only if you are the strongest in the world, will the following things be easier to handle," Lin Wuming quickly said, "Only this title can command the heroes of the world."

Accelerator endured it, "Then what? What's the point of simply acknowledging this meaningless title?"

"Then, find a suitable opportunity to display your strength in public, with only one purpose - to announce to the world that your title as the strongest in the world is well-deserved!"

Accelerator asked, "That's it?"

"Pretty much." Lin Wuming nodded, "As long as you show enough overwhelming strength, it will be enough to dispel the thoughts of most brainless challengers. After all, seeing is believing, and normal people will make the right choice about which to believe, what they see with their own eyes or hearsay and rumors."

Ignorance is bliss, so as long as they know fear, they naturally won't come to their deaths.

"Sounds easy." Accelerator said.

"It just 'sounds' easy," Lin Wuming poured cold water on him, "I'm just giving you a general idea, the specifics of how to seize the opportunity and show your strength to what extent, these all need to be considered by yourself."

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ Book ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

"Of course," Lin Wuming added, "Based on my personal experience, I can confirm that doing so is indeed useful. However, there are also certain side effects, which is that a big tree attracts the wind."

"Publicly declaring yourself as the strongest in the world can certainly block a large number of third-rate challengers, but relatively, it may also attract some truly powerful challengers," Lin Wuming explained, "Of course, for you…"

"That's right," Accelerator said proudly, "For this lord, there is no difference, they are all just small fries."

Accelerator didn't care about this. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether the challengers had strength or not - anyway, none of them were stronger than him.

In contrast, being able to reduce the number of challengers and the "refresh rate" was the most important thing.
