A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 348 Let’s go to the game room
At the entrance of a university auditorium in the fifth school district, Lin Wuming and his three companions met up with two level 5 girls who had just finished their work and were about to walk out of the door.

When she saw Lin Wuming, Misaka Mikoto subconsciously thought of the girl with purple hair and twin tails - come to think of it, she had always wanted to find out the whereabouts of that girl.

No, no, no, I'm not looking for the purple-haired girl, but the legendary girl who looks very similar to me—Misaka Mikoto shook her head repeatedly, correcting her thoughts.

However, every time she met Lin Wuming, her rhythm would be disrupted by various other inexplicable events, so that Misaka Mikoto was never able to ask the answer to that question from beginning to end.

As for today…

Misaka Mikoto looked at Lin Wuming's side - the two female members of the Discipline Committee; and next to her was Shokuhou Misaki, who had an inexplicable hostility towards her...

It didn't seem like a good time to ask.

Thinking this in her heart, Misaka Mikoto looked up and her eyes happened to meet Lin Wuming's.

At this moment, she suddenly discovered that the look in Lin Wuming's eyes looking at her seemed a little strange.

——Could it be that Senior Wuming also wanted to tell me something? No, no, no, Senior Wuming is so busy, he must have forgotten what happened that day long ago.

Misaka Mikoto shook her head and greeted the three Judgment Committee members as usual.

Although she was a little uncomfortable with Shokuhou Misaki, Misaka Mikoto had a good impression of Lin Wuming and the other three - after all, they were comrades who had fought side by side with her.

"Oh no, I forgot to bring Gua Tai out again!"

——This was what Lin Wuming really thought in his mind when he first saw Misaka Mikoto.

After all, Lin Wuming himself is not a fan of the Guatai series, so he doesn't have the habit of carrying Guatai peripherals.

Therefore, every time he met Misaka Mikoto, he was unable to give her the gift he had prepared long ago.

How am I going to improve my favorability if I keep going like this? I spent two months’ salary…and scholarship money, and now I’m going to lose it all?

"Senior Wuming..." Shokuhou Misaki rolled her eyes and punched Lin Wuming in the side, "Don't just stand there in a daze."

"That's true. Let's go." Lin Wuming came back to his senses and said quickly.

"Speaking of which, it's still early. Are we just going to go back like this?" Misaka Mikoto looked up at the setting sun and said casually, "Should we find a place to play for a while?"

"Play for a while..." Lin Wuming turned his head to look at the tiger bee beside him, but found that the girl also looked up at him.

Although the reasons are different, both of them are the type who "don't know how to play".

On the contrary, Gufa Meiwei agreed: "Misaka-san is right. Anyway, our mission is completed, and now it's free time."

"Hey..." Shokuhou Misaki looked at Misaka Mikoto speechlessly, "Why did you follow me so naturally? You don't live in this direction, do you?"

"Huh?" Misaka Mikoto looked over in surprise. "Isn't it about hanging out after school? I know a really good arcade."

"Just don't get caught by the teacher." Gufa Meiwei muttered as he took off the armband of the discipline committee member.

Generally speaking, except for a few old-fashioned people, teachers in Academy City will not prohibit students from going to the game hall, but the discipline committee members need to set an example. If they go out to play with armbands on, it will not have a good impact.

Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi remained silent, and Shokuhou Misaki's objections were futile, so the five of them, led by Misaka Mikoto, headed straight for the arcade. Speaking of arcades, the first thing that comes to mind is the game coins inside, and those game coins are the shells for Misaka Mikoto's signature move, "A Certain Scientific Railgun"!

Lin Wuming was thinking in his mind whether he should give Misaka Mikoto some inspiration so that she could comprehend this move in advance and become a real "A Certain Scientific Railgun".

——Otherwise, it would be weird if I kept calling her “A Certain Scientific Railgun” subconsciously.

However, after arriving at the game hall, before he had time to inspire Misaka Mikoto, Lin Wuming had already found the "cannonball" that suited him.

Lin Wuming's "telekinetic acceleration cannon" uses small steel balls as shells, and those small steel balls of just the right size were accidentally found by Lin Wuming at home. Strictly speaking, they were actually the private property of Huang Quanchuan Aiho.

And the quantity is limited, one less will be used.

So much so that Lin Wuming recently planned to customize a batch of small steel balls online.

However, at this moment, in the game hall, Lin Wuming saw a whole row of pachinko machines... gambling machines commonly known as "small steel balls" and "slot machines".

The small steel balls that moved hesitantly in these machines happened to be the same kind that Lin Wuming was currently using.

——Okay, now I know the origin of those small steel balls at home.

I didn't expect that Aiho Yomikawa, who is such a serious person, would actually play this.

Apparently noticing Lin Wuming's expression and the armband he still had on, a young lady in work uniform quickly stepped forward and explained, "Please rest assured, all the equipment in our store is gaming consoles. They only play games, not gambling."

"Huh? Is that so?" Lin Wuming looked over with a stern face, carefully observing the scene in the store. Although there were many normal gaming equipment, the style of the area near the pachinko area was a little different.

Baccarat, dice, blackjack, Texas Hold'em, roulette... a complete casino setup!

The waitress remained calm and explained with a smile, "Please observe carefully. This is just a 'simulated casino' and does not involve real money. The chips held by players cannot be exchanged for real money."

"Really?" Lin Wuming expressed his doubt.

He didn't actually care whether this was a casino or not, but since the waiter had explained it, he just asked a little more about it.

"Of course," the waitress said with an unwavering smile, "you can't open a real casino in Academy City. As for why, I think you should know."

Lin Wuming thought about it and immediately guessed the reason: "Superpower!"

"Yes. Apart from anything else, the three major types of superpowers, namely, clairvoyance, mind-reading and telekinesis, are enough to kill most of the subjects." The waitress nodded.

Gufa Miwei, Shokuhou Misaki, and Lin Wuming also nodded.

"Plus," the waitress continued, "some people with superpowers are very good at fighting, so the casino's last resort—brute force—is ineffective. Therefore, Academy City only has 'experience areas' like this one."

Tiger Bee Toumi puffed out her chest - she was one of those people who was "very good at fighting".
