Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

70. Fighting is worse than singing and dancing.

The most famous investigator in London in the 21st century, the famous detective Kong Ming of the Clock Tower recovered his memory after getting a potion to relieve the mental influence of the fairy tale world from Morgan, the Fairy Queen, who claimed that "I was just invited to watch the show" after--

Kong Ming quickly understood the situation and took a deep breath.

"Are you idiots!?"

Kong Ming almost couldn't help but say something like "I laughed at that little kid with Leonardo da Vinci's wisdom."

"Forget it, Lu Mingfei, why didn't you realize it, Da Vinci? Forget it, Da Vinci! Why didn't you react, Lu Mingfei!?"

Lu Mingfei and Da Vinci would not be able to deal with this confusing statement.

Weber, who seemed to have a stomachache for some reason, covered his abdomen and calmed down a little after drinking a cup of black tea given by the honest Gray.

Kong Ming looked at Gray: "Let me organize my words a little. Gray, do you have anything to say? For example, what things did you encounter there?"

Gray blinked, thought about it, and then shook his head honestly.

"Nothing special happened. It seems that because of this face, I was directly assigned to the home of Mordred and Lord Morgan. At first, I was a maid, but I was soon dismissed by Lord Morgan. Mentally affected, and because I didn’t know where to go or what to do, I stayed there in fear. I was just taken out today, and then I met you, Master.”

"As expected." Kong Ming nodded slightly, "The Fairy Queen is not an ordinary creature. Normally, she won't move even if the human mind is blown up. What happened in the Human Age has nothing to do with her as a remnant of the Fairy Age. What happened this time Most likely there is no direct contact with her, she was just indirectly 'hired' and borrowed her wisdom."

Weber rubbed his temples and muttered, randomly falling into deep thought.

[Weber tried to reason about ‘all the truth of this fairy tale world’. 】

[Difficulty: 75]

[Webber’s ‘All the truth about this fairy tale world’ reasoning: 1D100+20+50=70+20+50=140]

【140＞75】

Kong Ming murmured to himself.

"whydunit"

Whydunit = Why (had) done it?

The term reasoning means thinking about the criminal’s ‘why he did what he did’, and it can also be commonly understood as ‘motivation’.

"In the world of magic, any criminal means is possible. Because of this, traditional reasoning asking the criminal 'how to do it?' does not make sense in magic cases. Magic detectives must first determine the identity of the criminal through 'motivation' , and then reverse the planning process, wait, can’t it...!”

Kong Ming seemed to have thought of something, and then looked at Lu Mingfei:

"You have actually deduced the answer a long time ago, right?"

"Me?" Lu Mingfei was a little stunned when he was suddenly asked, but his next reaction made the people around him even more confused, "Ah, yes, I already knew the answer, but it's not so much deducing it. Well, it would be better to say that the prisoner had the answer stuck in my face from the beginning, but I am stupid. Even if I knew who the prisoner was, I still couldn’t figure out how she did it or why she did it. kind of thing."

Seeing Lu Mingfei's hesitant look, Kong Ming sighed and added for him: "Because even if you know the answer and the identity of the criminal, you still can't figure out the process and motive, so you think you may have made a mistake. , so you didn’t say anything because you weren’t confident.”

"Huh?"

Lu Mingfei said in surprise:

"What? Doesn't everyone know it? It's so obvious. I don't think anyone mentioned it. Isn't it because everyone thinks it's just an accident?"

"Skills are specialized, and Holmes often needs Watson to provide a layman's perspective to help analyze."

Kong Ming sighed, and immediately showed a somewhat dumbfounded expression.

"If you hadn't given that potion to Olga Marie, but had given it to my student Su Xiaoqiang, the answer would have been revealed a long time ago. This is a unique secret code between you. In other words, as long as you have the 'nerd' With cultural knowledge, you can easily realize the truth. If you have experience as a magic detective on top of this, reasoning of this difficulty is as simple as figuring out what one plus one equals under ordinary rules."

Although he said so, Kong Ming also knew that under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for everyone in Chaldea to choose Su Xiaoqiang instead of restoring Olga Marie's mental state.

Kong Ming felt a little complicated when he said this.

"Although I personally just like playing strategy games, the most problematic ones among my problem students are very interested in this culture, so I passively learned a lot about it. I didn't expect that it would come in handy at this time. .”

"Well, what are you talking about? Did I do something wrong?" Olga Marie next to her asked with some embarrassment, "Do you need me to call Holmes?"

"No, there is no need to ask that person to come over. Because this is London in this era, I will seek help from Sherlock Holmes, so I subconsciously thought it would be a story related to reasoning. This is a misunderstanding. In fact, it is not necessary this time. Detective stage, that Sherlock Holmes. Anyway, just don’t worry about it. Besides, it’s nothing like that. What did you do wrong, lady? As a child, you don’t need to bear the karma of adults. You just keep doing what you think is right, even though you already know it. Uncover the mastermind behind the scenes and the current king of singularities."

Kong Ming paused.

"No, judging from your past experience, the 'King of the Singularity' of the London Singularity is indeed one of the clones of the Wild Hunt, Lady Bertha, so the enemy we will ultimately face this time is not the 'Singularity' king', but"

Kong Ming thought for a moment and came up with a new term:

"Domination without ruling and enjoying it. She probably doesn't want the end of magic to come, so let's call her [God of Singularity]. This is the identity of the enemy we will face in the end, but the God of Darkness and Singularity In fact, it doesn’t matter. From a motivational point of view, they will not become our enemies, they just have to fight in the end. Lady, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. It’s better to say you don’t understand and continue to do what you want. Let’s wait for the decisive battle in two and a half months.”

Kong Ming sighed, not knowing what he was thinking of.

"In short, there is no need to waste energy anymore investigating the shady story and BOSS. We have already wasted too much time. Most of the powers in the fairy tale world cannot function normally. We must use the parts we are good at to increase our strength as soon as possible."

Kong Ming knocked on the table and finalized the main policy for everyone's next actions.

"Don't worry about those in-depth things. Someone has helped us think about it all. Even the devil has been solved by her. We only need to follow her plan to continue this conspiracy and let the hidden people The 'God of Singularity' having fun in this feast just needs to be happy. In the words of Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, it is 'to increase our favorability'. The more lively the celebration and the more fun she has, the higher her favorability towards us. It will be more beneficial to us in the final settlement, and what we really want from the audience is - [Holy Grail]."

Because she couldn't quite understand what the Riddler was saying, Olga Marie gave up thinking. Lu Mingfei is always the one being riddlered. This time he has a rare opportunity to be riddlered by others. Unexpectedly, it is surprisingly satisfying.

However, the famous detective Kong Ming is indeed right. The truth this time is as difficult as the sky for people who are not 'two-dimensional masters'. But on the other hand, as long as they are 'two-dimensional masters', this is not even reasoning. , but copy the answers to the questions.

I don’t understand Olga Marie. If it was the woman Lu Mingfei knew before, I’m afraid she would have gone crazy, right? But Olga Marie had already experienced a death, so the existence of those artificial girls and the strong sense of guilt made Olga Marie, who was originally proud, a little submissive, so she did not press the question further.

"What happened to the Holy Grail?" Olga Marie asked cautiously, "Aren't we supposed to take back the Holy Grail?"

"It's true that we have to take it back, but there is one thing we need to slow down our thinking - in this Singularity, our opponents are not the God of Darkness and Singularity, but those contestants who were forcibly pulled into the field by BB to disrupt the situation. People, the reason is very simple, because the God of Shady and Singularity [doesn’t care at all whose hand the Holy Grail falls into], the Holy Grail is a tool they throw out as a prize to heat up the atmosphere.

Of course, we still have to recycle it. Although the Shady and BOSS don't care about it, it will still be troublesome if it falls into the hands of other contestants.

Moreover, in order to increase the favorability of 'God' towards us, we have to achieve 'dazzling' results in the duel with other contestants. It is best to win the championship in the end and successfully obtain the Holy Grail. Rather than resorting to violence to snatch the Holy Grail after the event. "

To put it in layman’s terms, the famous military advisor Kong Ming made the following two points clear to the saviors:

1. There is no need to care about the shady or the God of Singularity anymore.

2. The real enemies are other contestants!

"Oh, by the way, except for Moriarty's group. Their group is considered as reinforcements carefully prepared by the shady army for us. She even considered it, even if we haven't realized the truth of everything for a long time, Moriarty That group of people will naturally come together with us and become companions. In fact, you have already been companions before this, right?"

"That's because Holmes mentioned to us before that people like Moriarty will definitely stand on the side of maintaining order when faced with the crisis of order destruction, so we took the initiative to find him to cooperate. , the facts are just as Holmes said."

Olga Marie showed a distressed look, looking at Lu Mingfei's expression as if he understood everything, which made her feel troubled by "What's going on? This atmosphere where only I can't do it?" But she I learned a trick from Lu Mingfei that time.

Since you can’t figure it out, and Kong Ming also said that he doesn’t know what would be better, then——[give up thinking].

☆

To defeat, and defeat the other contenders for the Holy Grail 'beautifully'.

In short, now that the ‘what to do’ has been determined, the next thing to be determined is the specific ‘how to do it’.

"Leonardo, you have known about Cinderella's magic from the beginning, right? Then why don't you urge Lu Mingfei to master this power quickly?"

As a truly professional teacher, Kong Ming raised sharp questions to Leonardo da Vinci.

Da Vinci's answer showed no sign of weakness. : "Look who I brought with me? Do you think Lu Mingfei is the type who can learn it if you don't have the interest to force him to learn it? It's not good to use such things as spiritual power on Lu Mingfei. Yes, because he is the kind of guy who is very objective most of the time and whose psychological activities are much more than what he says on the surface, just like the male protagonists of those light novels. But if people like him want to be idealistic, then there is only Only when your head suddenly gets hot!"

Lu Mingfei felt inexplicably that he seemed to have been scolded in a roundabout way.

But Da Vinci is actually right. Although Lu Mingfei has mastered some of the transformation abilities of [Cinderella Magic], when actually using it, the energy consumption to maintain the transformation is unexpectedly large, and ordinary transformation is still not possible. Okay, a powerful transformation cannot be maintained for a long time, and it can only be regarded as useless in actual combat.

It would be okay if Lu Mingfei's memory was also covered by the fairy tale world, but Lu Mingfei's card does not take the target or take the effect.

According to Da Vinci, this seems to be because Lu Mingfei subconsciously felt that "transformation requires energy consumption", and the high point is "equivalent exchange, strong power must be accompanied by risks" and the like Instinctive thoughts.

Kong Ming clicked his tongue: "That's why I said, Leonardo, as a teacher, you are the kind of teacher who 'feels that he knows the students very well'. When you perform the act of 'understanding the students' preferences', you only have a superficial taste, not A more in-depth type"

This time it was Da Vinci's turn to be silent, and then he said as if he was defending something: "Because I have a lot of research work to do? Besides, I am not a professional teacher to begin with. If I were good at teaching, There won’t be so many things happening in my lifetime.”

"Let me, an incompetent person, take on the teaching job." Kong Ming waved his hand and then looked at Lu Ming.

"Lu Mingfei, you don't need to feel embarrassed or anything. For some reason, I have a special research paper on these things, so you can answer my two questions directly - answer with the first thing that comes to your mind. .”

Kong Ming raised a finger.

"Lu Mingfei, what did you think of when you first heard 'fairy tale'?"

"Disney movies." Lu Mingfei answered honestly, "When I was a kid, I didn't have money to buy books or anything like that, and the young people around me weren't very interested in fairy tales, so my impression of fairy tales was basically from watching CCTV when I was a kid. Disney animated movies played on Time Movie Channel.”

Kong Ming raised his second finger.

"So, what's your biggest influence on Disney animated films based on fairy tales?"

"Ah." Lu Mingfei hesitated.

"Just say it directly, I understand." Kong Ming encouraged.

"Then I said it." Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed, "When it comes to Indian movies, they suddenly dance. When it comes to Disney's animated fairy tale movies, what impressed me the most is that they suddenly sang while acting without knowing why. Let’s sing!”

"Yes! That's it!"

Kong Ming said and raised his third finger.

"Final question, Lu Mingfei, what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you mention the words 'Cinderella Cup'? "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" requires a little thinking for you. The answer doesn’t count.”

"Knee-jerk reaction? Well, I'll be honest."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. This was his subconscious reaction when he was embarrassed.

"The first one that comes to my mind is Shibuya Rin, also known as "The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls". That cute idol show is actually quite good, isn't it?"

Lu Mingfei seemed to want to defend himself.

But after hearing his answer, a clear expression appeared on Da Vinci's face.

Kong Ming clapped his hands!

"Perfect! Correct! The person who planned all this is someone who knows you very well! Therefore, many elements are tailor-made for you, so what we have to do is very simple - hurry up, Mr. Lu Mingfei, Oh no, your stage name should be Miss. Lulu now. Let you become the most shining idol (Cinderella) in this singularity. This is the truly correct strategy for this singularity! It is also the one that can gain power with the highest efficiency. Way!"

"According to the belief-like system, for you, the more you are supported by stars, the more popular you will be. This loving heart will become your strength, because idols do not exist alone, but only with the support of the audience. It can be established!”

"To put it bluntly: the more people support you, the more energy you can get from them. Even if your subconscious reasons prevent you from using [Cinderella Magic] efficiently, as long as you become a Top Star (the most dazzling star) ), fans will pay the price of using [Cinderella Magic] on your behalf!”

Finally, the key to conquering this singularity has been grasped!

Super producer Zhuge Kongming and new idol Lulu are here to participate!
