After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 340 Art Exhibition Bidding
After Chu Ke's investigation, he discovered that he seemed to be one of those who had "already been given an identity" when he traveled through time.

In this world, he is the son of an entrepreneur who went abroad to develop his own power in order to inherit his family's wealth. The country he chose is Japan, which is very close to China and has a developed economy. He plans to squeeze a lot of wealth out of Japan and then take the money back home.

This investment was specifically for the purpose of hosting an art exhibition, and several interested parties were invited to a dinner party at the villa he had purchased.

It seems that it is because of the Chu Group, which has extended its reach all over the world. Although Chu Ke's current financial resources are not considered very strong in Japan, there are still many powerful partners who have come to him after hearing about him.

This banquet also serves to determine investment targets.

This sounds like a background prone to murder!

Not to mention now even the Grim Reaper elementary school student has come knocking on our door.

Incidentally, the arrival of the "Death God Elementary School Students" wasn't because the Mori Detective Agency was also venturing into bidding for projects outside their field; they were brought by Ran Mori's best friend, Sonoko Suzuki.

The Suzuki Group also participated in this bidding process, but it was more like they were giving Sonoko Suzuki, this idle young lady, something to do than a bidding process. The Suzuki Group's intention to bid was not actually firm.

And coincidentally, having heard that there was a wonderful hot spring behind the resort, Yonoko, feeling bored by herself, invited the Mori family along, essentially for a vacation.

As the guests gradually arrived, Chu Ke had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk down. The only things that gave him a sense of security were the human calming device at his waist and the white frame in front of him.

Yes, Chu Ke, as a transmigrator, has a cheat code. It seems that because his underlying code is different from that of this world, Chu Ke finds that he can see "narration boxes" similar to those he saw when watching the Conan anime in his previous life.

Whenever Chu Ke focuses his gaze on someone, that person's name and age will be displayed, but only if Chu Ke himself knows the other person's information; otherwise, a string of "?" will be displayed in the box.

The narration box can also collect various kinds of information and display the name of each environment it enters.

The cheat ability is rather useless; it doesn't give Chu Ke as much sense of security as the 9*19mm transmitter in his arms.

Besides Sonoko, representing the Suzuki Foundation, and the three members of the Detective Conan family, there were three other forces among the collaborators who came this time.

They are Sato Seize, representing the Sato Foundation; Eikawa Eiseki, representing the Eikawa Office; and Takahashi Shiki, an independent illustrator.

It's worth mentioning that apart from Jiang Chuan Yingxue, who came alone by car, the other two groups brought their families, seemingly because the invitations mentioned that the hot springs in the back mountains had beauty, health, and wellness benefits.

As the host, Chu Ke naturally couldn't be impolite and began to personally greet them.

On the other side, the parking lot.

A short, abstract-looking elementary school student wearing a baseball uniform jumped out of the car, his feet sinking into the ankle-deep snow. The icy feeling made him shiver.

"Ugh, it's so cold. I wish the car could drive into the manor," Conan complained.

"This is someone's private mountain resort. It's already quite good that we were able to drive up the mountain. Be content, kid." Kogoro Mouri said a few sarcastic remarks to Conan, and shivered after getting out of the car: "But it's really cold. Why can't we drive into the estate?"

For some reason, he would get annoyed whenever he saw this kid who hadn't even grown his hair yet.

Ran Mouri looked speechlessly at her hypocritical father and said nothing.

Sonoko Suzuki, however, was quite excited: "We'll be able to soak in the hot springs soon! The hot springs in this area used to be very famous, but the main vein of the hot springs was bought by the previous owner of the manor and a manor was built there, so no one has been able to soak in them until today. I actually have the chance to experience it today."

After saying that, she covered her face with her hands: "Unlike other hot springs, the hot springs here have excellent moisturizing effects and beauty benefits. I wouldn't have agreed to my family's arrangement if I didn't want to soak in this hot spring." "Eh~ Is that so? I really want to soak in it soon." After hearing what Sonoko said, Ran was also a little tempted. In order to prevent her karate skills from declining, she had been training hard these days and had neglected her skin care. Winter is dry, and recently, even taking off her sweater would bring up flaky skin.

As Conan watched Ran soaking in the hot spring, a lewd look inappropriate for his age appeared on his face: "Speaking of which, a private hot spring like this shouldn't be gender-neutral, right? What if I get the time wrong and witness some...unpleasant scenes?"

"Boom!"

Kogoro Mouri punched Conan on the head: "I don't think you're thinking anything good. Hurry up and let's go, it's freezing in the wind!"

Conan pursed his lips and followed.

Although the manor has beautiful scenery and hot springs, it seems to be built deep in the mountains, and you need to cross a wooden bridge on a cliff to get in.

Although the wooden bridge has been reinforced with metal to facilitate the transport of goods and allow some vehicles to pass, guests' cars also need to be parked outside to reduce its lifespan.

"Oh, it's so high." Sonoko Suzuki stood by the bridge, leaning against the railing and looking down. The sound of water could be heard from the bottomless cliff below, most likely because there was a river below.

"Haha, this feels so familiar, like a suspenseful mountain lodge in a mystery novel, with only one road leading to the outside world."

"Sonoko, don't stand there, it's dangerous!"

"ah!"

Before Ran Mouri could finish speaking, the handrail that Sonoko Suzuki was leaning against suddenly broke, and she fell uncontrollably to the ground.

Just at this critical moment, a hand grabbed Sonoko, who was about to fall, and pulled her back onto the bridge.

"Is it okay!"

The newcomer was a man with long hair and a scarf, whose numerous earrings reflected a gleaming light.

"Thank you." Sonoko wiped the sweat from her brow, still shaken. "That really scared me to death."

"Are you alright, Sonoko!" Ran rushed over and took Sonoko from the man's arms.

"Let me lean on you a little longer, Ran. You're such a handsome rock star!" Sonoko whispered.

'What time is it and you're still thinking about this!'

Sonoko stuck out her tongue and looked at the man: "Thank you, may I ask who you are?"

"Just call me Sato Seiyu. I came with my brother this time because of the art exhibition."

"Oh! I've heard of you!" Sonoko exclaimed in surprise, "I heard you even formed an independent band, that's amazing!"

Sato Seiyu scratched his head: "It's nothing, mostly just bad reputation, like not doing his job properly or something."
