The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Back at the office, Qin Zhibo opened the system store.

Having solved yesterday's side quest, Qin Zhibo currently has a general skill proficiency of 10,320, which can be exchanged for [The Gift of the Golden Tree] priced at 10,000.

With a thought in Qin Zhibo's mind, the [Gift of the Golden Tree] was redeemed and slowly appeared in Qin Zhibo's hands.

This is a bracelet with a slightly exaggerated shape. The top and bottom are umbrella-shaped reliefs of trees and flowers, and the middle is connected by a goddess holding a cup in both hands.

When wearing it, you need to pass your wrist through the back of the goddess sculpture, and you can wear this large bracelet on your hand like an arm guard.

If you encounter an emergency, you can wear it directly when you call it up in the item bar.

After putting on the bracelet, Qin Zhibo clearly felt a force gushing out of his body.

But before Qin Zhibo could say the second line of "I feel the power!", the vigorous power subsided, and his body was as numb as usual, except for the arm wearing the bracelet that fell a little.

Just when Qin Zhibo thought "that's it", he suddenly found some conspicuous changes on his character card.

Name: Qin Zhibo

Strength: 60 (+5)

Agility: 60 (+10)

Constitution: 60 (+10)

Size: 70

Appearance: 70

Intelligence: 75

Will: 90

Lucky: 35

Qin Zhibo tried to pick off the [Gift of the Golden Tree] again, and the numbers behind strength, agility, and constitution disappeared.

This shows that the improvements brought by the gift of the golden tree are intuitive, namely 5 points of strength, 10 points of agility, and 10 points of constitution.

This kind of improvement is just right for Qin Zhibo, because strength can be improved by improving fighting skills. It doesn't matter if the increase is less, but so far, there is no way to improve agility and physical fitness in the later stages.

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about where to try this improvement, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Qin Zhibo put away the golden tree bracelet and received him as usual.

This is a woman with average social credit, and the entrustment was just that her pet was lost. Qin Zhibo quickly found the lost kitten with the help of the finding spell.

The cat was squatting on the top of a tree in a nearby park. It might not be able to get down because it was afraid of heights.

The tree was more than four meters high. Qin Zhibo first tried to climb up for a while, but he slid down less than two meters from the ground. This happened several times after he tried.

Qin Zhibo tried to put the [Gift of the Golden Tree] on his hand again and tried to climb the tree again.

This time, Qin Zhibo's force-generating technique was still the same as in previous attempts, but he felt that his body was much lighter and he climbed to the top of the thick tree without much effort.

After successfully rescuing the cat, Qin Zhibo realized that this [gift of the golden tree] was really useful.

Before, the agility of 60 could only be said to be slightly higher than that of ordinary people, but now the agility of 70 is far stronger than ordinary people, and can do many things that were beyond the scope of previous abilities.

If you can further improve your agility and reach the level of Kidd, you can experience the feeling of lifting Newton's coffin board.

The pet owner lived not far away, so Qin Zhibo sent the cat directly to his door and charged 20,000 yen.

Qin Zhibo's fee is calculated based on the search range. If it is only within Mihua Town, the fee is 20,000. If it exceeds Mihua Town, additional fees will be charged.

Some pet owners once felt that Qin Zhibo could get his pet back in less than an hour every time, which was equivalent to an hourly salary of at least 20,000 yen, which was a bit expensive.

But Qin Zhibo replied: "It only costs 1,000 yen to bring back pets. If you know where to bring them back, you can get 19,000 yen."

With the 20,000 he just earned and the 500,000 entrustment fee that Kanasanze had fully settled last night, Qin Zhibo went to the bank and deposited the money.

When I checked my bankbook, I found that the 1 million yen earned from the last incident at Acupido Hotel had also been successfully transferred to my account.

Current account balance: 25047475.00

Qin Zhibo still remembers that when he first took over this passbook, the book balance was only more than 57,000.

In just one month of learning, my assets increased more than 400 times. This is more inspiring than the classic cases mentioned by the success masters!

Of course, most of this is "gray income" obtained from the Nine Angels organization, including but not limited to searching for documents and classics, attending banquets, and helping the police catch international killers.

There is still a gap of 5 million yen in funds before unlocking the third floor of the firm of his dreams.

Dinner was oden + udon noodles. I bought some snacks and digested them while watching TV when I came back.

Until 12 o'clock at midnight, Qin Zhibo turned off the TV and solemnly took out the "King in Yellow" from the drawer with both hands.

Now Qin Zhibo has developed a habit. If he obtains a new mythological classic, he will wait until 12 o'clock in the evening to read it.

First, I won't be disturbed by outsiders.

Secondly, if you are scared to scream while watching a "3D movie", you won't disturb others.

"The King in Yellow" lay on the table. Qin Zhibo took a deep breath and silently confirmed the option in his heart.

【The language is similar, do you want to read? 】

【Yes√】

When he entered the reading state, Qin Zhibo's eyes went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a luxuriously decorated theater, but the seats around him were empty, and he was the only one sitting in the guest of honor seat.

Qin Zhibo tried it, but his body couldn't leave, as if he was shackled by some invisible force.

At this time, the curtain on the stage slowly opened, accompanied by low, hoarse singing, and a graceful and luxurious lady stood in the middle of the palace scenery, overlooking the quiet and misty lake outside the palace.

Outside the palace setting, a stranger wearing a black robe with yellow prints on the black robe walked to the stage, raised the pale mask hidden under the hood, and began to sing.

"Queen Cassilda brooded in her chamber; mourning the passing of her empty past."

"Her dreams disturbed the waters of Lake Harry; in the lake slumbered the ancient prophets."

"In the depths of Hyades, the sun sets slowly over the flat lake, and darkness grows in people's hearts, just as the shadow of the sun stretches out on the lake."

"Queen Cassilda meditated in her room, the approaching fog surrounded her, and the lost Carcosa stood in the fog, projecting the appearance of a sky-high tower in the abyss."

The stranger's singing was a bit obscure and difficult to understand, but Qin Zhibo somehow knew the meaning of some of the proper nouns.

For example, "Hyades" refers to the Hyades star cluster, and Lake Halli refers to the misty lake outside the palace set.

Carcosa is the looming high-TC city opposite Lake Harry.

At this time, the sad-looking woman "Casiluda" in the palace began to tell her troubles and sorrows.

The general content is that she is the queen of this "Iti" country, and she was forced by her brother to choose a successor to the throne before the prophecy of the end came.

The so-called language of the end is that the high priest of this country once predicted that the successor of Queen Cassiluda will be the end of the kings, and the royal family's rule over Iti will completely end in the hands of this person.

At that time, the return will come, the lost Carcosa will bring its end, and the whole land of Hastur will usher in the rule of the eternal god-the King in Yellow.

Thanks to King Bao for the 1500 reward!
