A Scientific Urban Detective

The next day, Lin Wuming and Torafugu Honey once again arrived at classroom 7 of the first-year students at a certain high school, at the same time and location as yesterday, to meet with Yun Chuanqian.

On the desk in front of Yun Chuanqian were seven neatly arranged armbands. The shape, size, and material were identical to those of the disciplinary committee armbands, with the biggest difference being the color and design.

Six of the armbands had a pure black background with white calligraphy written on them, displaying the characters for “Number Two” to “Number Seven,” representing the second to seventh ranked Level 5s.

However, one armband was different. It had a white background with black characters, and instead of “Number One,” it had the four characters for “Unrivaled Under Heaven.”

This was something Lin Wuming had specifically emphasized—after all, only “Unrivaled Under Heaven” was the most important, so only it was special.

Lin Wuming was very satisfied. He picked up the “Unrivaled Under Heaven” armband, carefully examined it in front of his eyes, and muttered to himself, “Very good, if you want this title, then compete for it fair and square!”

Yun Chuanqian pushed the remaining six armbands to the opposite side, narrowed her eyes, and looked at him: “Student Lin Wuming, it seems you want to create chaos.”

“No,” Lin Wuming shook his head. “At most, it will only be the level of ‘Chaos in the Martial World.’ Without destruction, there can be no construction. A new order will be established soon. Besides, isn’t it good to make those who overestimate themselves realize reality?”

Yun Chuanqian put her fingertips together and rested them on her chin: “Then I will look forward to your performance, Student Lin Wuming.”

According to Yun Chuanqian, the assistance she provided ended here. As for how Lin Wuming would use these armbands, it was up to him. The Board of Directors would neither support nor oppose, nor would they take any action.

In other words, Lin Wuming needed to distribute these seven armbands himself and convince the Level 5s to accept this new set of rules.

After returning home, Lin Wuming immediately went upstairs and knocked on Shokuhou Misaki’s door.

Fortunately, Shokuhou Misaki was home.

“Hmm…” Without any preamble, Shokuhou Misaki directly saw Lin Wuming’s intention. “Wuming-senpai, are you… serious? You really want to carry out this reckless plan?”

“Is there a problem?” Lin Wuming asked back. “You know, my desire to become ‘Unrivaled Under Heaven’ is real. So, I must leave a path for myself—after all, opportunities are created by oneself.”

“Okay, since Wuming-senpai wants to create opportunities…” Shokuhou Misaki reached out and took the armband with the characters “Number Five” on it, a subtle expression on her face. “Let me make it clear first, Wuming-senpai, I will absolutely not wear this armband, because it doesn’t match my style at all.”

“I know, it’s enough that you can accept it.” Lin Wuming was a little embarrassed. He also knew that his design didn’t have much aesthetic appeal.

Or rather, Lin Wuming didn’t design anything at all, he just told Yun Chuanqian his ideas and requirements.

He originally thought that Yun Chuanqian would find a professional to design it a little, but he didn’t expect that woman to be so perfunctory…

“Speaking of which, this is the first time I’ve received a gift from Wuming-senpai,” Shokuhou Misaki examined the armband in her hand. “But I didn’t expect it to be something like this…”

Lin Wuming seriously thought about it: “That’s true. After the scholarship is issued next month, I will prepare a decent gift for you. By the way, Shokuhou, is there anything you want?”

After all, she was a queen who was used to luxury. Lin Wuming didn’t know if his current “meager” income could afford to give her a gift.

—Eh, no, the current Shokuhou isn’t the “Queen” yet.

He saw Shokuhou Misaki in front of him helplessly holding her forehead: “I heard everything, Wuming-senpai…”

The golden-haired, starry-eyed girl heavily sighed: “It doesn’t have to be something too expensive, as long as it’s a gift… But let me make it clear first, it’s not that I want Wuming-senpai’s gift, it’s just that the first thing senpai gave me was too unsightly, it makes me very resentful!”

“I know, I know.” Lin Wuming nodded repeatedly. Since he didn’t have to worry about the budget, that was much better.

Shokuhou Misaki also said: “Also, I definitely don’t want anything with frogs!”

“No, how could I give you a frog…”

He wasn’t a mischievous elementary school boy—Lin Wuming was about to complain, and then he thought of the “Gekota” covering half the wall in his room, and he immediately understood.

Shokuhou Misaki’s pair of starry eyes seemed to really emit light, and her piercing gaze was almost tangible, staring at Lin Wuming.

—For two consecutive months, almost all of the scholarship money was used to please that Misaka Mikoto! Is that reasonable? Is that fair? Just because she is the so-called “protagonist”?

Besides, this isn’t a manga, she’s just a mere Electromaster!

Of course, there was no need to let Wuming-senpai know these things. Anyway—

She’s just a Misaka Mikoto…

Having achieved his goal, Lin Wuming prepared to say goodbye and leave.

“By the way, Wuming-senpai.” Shokuhou Misaki suddenly called out to him. “You should be looking for the other Level 5s next, right?”

“Yes.” Lin Wuming nodded. “After coming back, I came to you first, so there are still six armbands that need to be distributed.”

The latest novel is available at Liǔ\nJiǔ\nShū\nbā\n.\nC\no\nm!

“Then~” Shokuhou Misaki asked, “Does Wuming-senpai have a way to find the others?”

“Uh… it might be a little difficult.” Lin Wuming honestly admitted.

The main problem was Kakine Teitoku. Although he had dealt with “School” before, Lin Wuming’s relationship with him was more like a rival, or even an “enemy.”

Therefore, Lin Wuming couldn’t possibly have Kakine Teitoku’s contact information.

Moreover, Lin Wuming had no power or influence now. Even if he wanted to hire an underground organization, he couldn’t find the way, so naturally it was impossible to find “School” through this method.

As for the other underground organization “Item,” because of Kinuhata Saiai, it wouldn’t be difficult to give the “Number Four” armband to Mugino Shizuri.

“I see,” Shokuhou Misaki nodded. “Later, Wuming-senpai can go look for Yumiya Rakko. Senpai still remembers that child, right?”

“Of course…” Lin Wuming was stunned for a moment. “Are you saying that Yumiya Rakko she…”

Did Yumiya Rakko actually join the underground organization “School”? Lin Wuming was extremely surprised.

How long has it been since she left “Artificial Intelligence Studio”? How did she get in contact with “School”?

“That’s right,” Shokuhou Misaki said. “But they are still hiding it from me, so senpai must not say that I revealed the information.”
