A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 317: Battle with Accelerator
So in the past two days, Accelerator has defeated nearly a hundred idiots who dared to challenge him, and because he was in a bad mood, he had no intention of showing mercy. Except for not killing people directly, he could almost be said to be extremely cruel.

Everyone who is defeated by Accelerator will have to stay in the hospital for at least three months.

"Tsk, is that Lin Wuming guy trying to play tricks on me?" Accelerator, who was feeling annoyed, finally couldn't help but become suspicious.

Just when Accelerator sent the 300th idiot to the hospital and his patience was about to run out, he finally received a call from Lin Wuming.

"Lin Wuming! Your injury is finally healed!" Accelerator has not forgotten his duel with Lin Wuming.

"Not really," Lin Wuming shook his head. He seemed to sense the bad mood on the other end of the line and quickly added, "But this little injury on my leg won't affect my strength. In fact, my strength has improved slightly recently."

"Very good," Accelerator said immediately, "Then let's begin our duel!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking," Lin Wuming said. "But I have to remind you, Accelerator. You should be aware of your own strength, so... please don't have unrealistic expectations like 'I can defeat you.'"

"Tsk, how disappointing." Accelerator felt very disappointed to see Lin Wuming getting scared before the fight, which was equivalent to admitting defeat directly.

Although he knew clearly that what Lin Wuming said was the truth, deep down in his heart, Accelerator really longed for a "confidant" or an "equally matched" opponent.

Before this, Accelerator had always wishfully believed that Lin Wuming was the ideal opponent.

That's why Accelerator is so obsessed with a "fair fight" with Lin Wuming.

Without concealing his disappointment, Accelerator's sigh seemed to appear directly in front of Lin Wuming through radio signals.

Lin Wuming's heart tightened - don't make this old man unhappy, otherwise he will kill him if he gets unhappy during the battle!

Lin Wuming quickly made some amends, "Accelerator, you're a level 5, and I'm only a level 3! While my combat abilities might be at the level of a level 4, I can't possibly be a match for a level 5. That's an objective fact."

"Of course I know this young man." Accelerator snorted coldly. It was because he knew that Lin Wuming's true strength and ability level were not the same thing, so he had some unrealistic expectations of him.

"Don't worry, I will continue to improve my strength." Lin Wuming said, "Perhaps it won't be long before I can fight you in a fair duel."

"As long as you can really do it." Accelerator said.

"Then it's a deal. When the time comes, the person who will take away the title of 'Number One in the World' from you will probably be me." Lin Wuming boasted.

"I'm waiting for you, just come on," said Accelerator.

"Then..." Lin Wuming stretched out his tone and asked tentatively, "This duel will be..."

"Let's set it for tomorrow," Accelerator said first, "Do you still want to escape, Lin Wuming?"

"No, how could that be?" Lin Wuming's lips curled up in a smile. The high-end practice match with Accelerator as his sparring partner had finally been decided. "But there's still a problem with the schedule. Give me two more days. This weekend, please."

"You're so slow and indecisive!"

"I also have some things to deal with here, please forgive me." Lin Wuming said.

"If you dare delay again, I'll come looking for you myself." Accelerator had already been "disappointed" once, so he didn't say anything more. Lin Wuming had already admitted defeat, so the outcome of this "duel" was already certain. Accelerator's anticipation for the event had plummeted, and now he was more obsessed with completing something.

In other words, before the actual result came out, Accelerator still had some hope.

To Accelerator, Lin Wuming is different - among all the people Accelerator has ever dealt with, perhaps only Lin Wuming is a normal person.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wuming threw the phone on the bed, then looked up at his desk.

This is Lin Wuming's own room. Various packaging boxes are piled up next to his desk. Unknowingly, the peripheral products of the Guatai series he bought have covered half of the wall.

"And now that I know Misaka Mikoto, it's time to find an opportunity to give these out and improve my favorability." Lin Wuming muttered to himself.

But to be honest, Lin Wuming couldn't figure out what the point of doing this was.

Collecting "Guatai" to improve Misaka Mikoto's favorability was just a sudden idea that Lin Wuming had - he happened to see a store poster promoting the "Guatai" series of limited edition products, and then he thought of giving it to Misaka Mikoto or something...
After that, it becomes a habit to continue buying new items, which gradually pile up in the room.

But now that I think about it, my relationship with Misaka Mikoto doesn't seem to be that close, and even giving her a gift suddenly seems a bit abrupt.

And it is obvious that Shokuhou Misaki has a closer relationship with him now, and the two of them also keep the secrets of the "time traveler" and the "original plot" together.

In addition, although the girl Hufeng Toumi has many flaws and her personality is hard to describe, she is Lin Wuming's most solid and reliable "comrade-in-arms"; she participates in every action or battle.

"Then..." Lin Wuming asked himself again, "Is there really any meaning in collecting these things?"

Even if you want to use these limited edition "Kuata" peripherals as a reward and "hire" Misaka Mikoto to do something, it probably doesn't cost that much, right?
Moreover, the same routine cannot be used too many times. It is enough to keep five or six treasures. The rest... may be given to Hokaze Junko and Yugan Iruka. Remember that they are also fans of the "Kuaita" series.

After all, increasing favorability by giving out some doll peripherals only happens in games; in reality, it can only be used as a means to add icing on the cake, but it is impossible to really gain the favor of a strange girl so easily.

There is probably only one way to truly gain Misaka Mikoto's favor - to resolve the "Misaka Sister" incident.

Moreover, as a time traveler, at this point in time - the "Absolute Ability User Evolution" plan has not yet begun, and no Misaka sister has been tragically killed - Lin Wuming's ambition is naturally greater.

He wants to "pass the game without taking any damage" to achieve the perfect ending - that is, not let any of the Misaka sisters die, and under this premise, resolve the related incidents.

And thus save everyone - Misaka Mikoto, the Misaka sisters, and Accelerator.

Ever since that day when he unexpectedly met Accelerator, this idea has always lingered in Lin Wuming's mind.

Lin Wuming wanted to accomplish this, even if it went against his original intention of "lying down and enjoying a new life."

This idea had been brewing in his mind for a long time. After experiencing events such as the "underground arena" and the "level 5 ranking announcement", a plan finally took shape.

He wants to challenge his own limits and save the Misaka sisters!
