A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 256 Lin Wuming’s Solution
"So, your current problem is..." After hearing Accelerator's complaints, Lin Wuming directly confirmed it with words, "You've been annoyed by those low-level and foolish challengers, and because you're unwilling to kill and establish your authority, you've fallen into your current predicament."

"Hmph, I just don't bother to kill them." Accelerator said, "Those little bastards are not worth my effort."

Lin Wuming smiled, nodded, and said, "Don't kill people. That's a good thing. Or rather, don't kill people at all! For you, killing is always the worst solution."

The fact that he didn't start a killing spree meant that Accelerator hadn't yet transformed from a "human" into a "monster". As long as he could be persuaded to stick to the principle of "not killing", the predicament of the Misaka sisters would be half solved.

Accelerator looked over in surprise after hearing this. "Lin Wuming, what qualifications do you have to say that about me? You never killed anyone in your battles with illegal experimental institutions?"

—Didn’t they say the information was blocked? How come everyone knows my dark history?
Lin Wuming complained in his heart, but at the same time, he cheered up and explained, "It's precisely because my strength is limited, not as strong as yours. In order to solve the problem, I have no choice but to kill the enemy physically. But you have an absolutely overwhelming strength, you can directly defeat the enemy's mental will, so naturally there is no need to destroy them physically."

After hearing this, Accelerator scoffed, "Didn't you hear the trouble I mentioned earlier? Breaking the enemy's spirit? Are you kidding me?"

He is in this embarrassing situation now because he is unable to defeat the challengers mentally and does not want to destroy them physically.

"It's different," Lin Wuming shook his head and continued to explain, "We need to analyze each case individually. The situations we're actually facing are different. The enemies I'm facing are professionals. They know fear, and they can also tell the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents. If I were as powerful as you, then the enemies I'd face would most likely not choose to fight, but would immediately flee or surrender. So there's no need to resort to killing to solve the problem."

"In fact," Lin Wuming paused, then continued, "as my reputation gradually spread, it actually played a similar role. During my most recent operation, after the enemy recognized me, they immediately lost their will to fight and resist, and there was no need to continue fighting."

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

Lin Wuming nodded and continued, "Your problem is that the challengers you face don't actually understand what level 5 means. Their ignorance leads to their fearlessness. Those who truly understand how powerful you are won't rush to challenge you without thinking, right?"

"You're right." Accelerator looked at Lin Wuming - this was a ready-made example. Knowing that he was powerful, Lin Wuming just tried it out a little and immediately withdrew without continuing to pester him.

Lin Wuming probably guessed what he was thinking, but didn't care. "So, Accelerator, it's clear what you need to do now—find a way to raise the quality of your challengers. At the very least, let those who truly understand the business challenge you, not these ignorant minions."

"In my opinion, all challengers are the same minions." Accelerator said.

"That's not important." Lin Wuming waved his hand. "The key isn't the challenger's strength, but their vision. You have to make them give up when they realize the difficulty, so that you can get rid of the trouble of being constantly harassed."

"That makes sense." Accelerator nodded. "Then how should we do it?"

"That's not difficult," Lin Wuming said immediately, "First of all, since you're already number one in the world, just admit it and find a way to spread the word..."

"Admit it? Publicize it?" Accelerator frowned. The reason why he was stuck in this awkward situation was largely because he ignored the ranking of Academy City and looked down on the so-called No. 1 from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, Accelerator naturally never acknowledged or responded to this ranking. This indirectly gave those "challengers" a false impression that the No. 1 position was easy to take. These inferior "challengers" in turn made Accelerator feel that the Academy City rankings lacked authority, and he became even more reluctant to take the title of No. 1...

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

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

Accelerator endured it. "And then? What's the point of just accepting this worthless title?"

"Then, find a suitable opportunity to publicly demonstrate your strength. Your only goal is to announce to the world that you are truly number one in the world!"

Accelerator asked, "Is that all right?"

"That's about right." Lin Wuming nodded. "As long as you demonstrate overwhelming strength, it will be enough to dispel the thoughts of most mindless challengers. After all, seeing is believing. When it comes to believing what you see with your own eyes versus hearsay, any normal person will make the right choice."

As the saying goes, ignorance is fearless, so as long as you know how to be afraid, you will naturally not run to die.

"That doesn't sound difficult," Accelerator said.

"It just 'sounds' easy," Lin Wuming poured some cold water on him. "I just gave you a general idea. How to seize the opportunity and to what extent to demonstrate your strength, all these need to be considered by you."

"Of course," Lin Wuming continued, "Based on my personal experience, I can confirm that this is indeed useful. However, there are certain side effects, which is that a tall tree attracts the wind."

"Publicly declaring yourself the best in the world can certainly deter a large number of low-ranking challengers, but conversely, it may also attract some truly powerful challengers," Lin Wuming explained. "Of course, for you..."

"That's right," Accelerator said proudly, "To me, there's no difference. They're all just minor characters."

Accelerator didn't care about this at all. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether the challenger was strong or not - they were not as strong as him anyway.

In comparison, the most important thing is to reduce the number of challengers and the "refresh frequency".
