[Speaking of which, now that I've transmigrated, I guess I won't be seeing the ending. I wonder how Qingshan is going to fill in all those plot holes!]

Poor Ran, she waited for over twenty years but never saw Shinichi again. It's so tragic!

The expressions of the people reading the log changed. Ran had waited for Shinichi for over twenty years!?

........

Maori Detective Agency.

Xiaolan was already lying in bed.

She was also curious about who would receive the log reward today.

So I stayed up a little bit late.

However, she was completely stunned when she saw this sentence in the log.

I've waited twenty years for a new generation?

Jingle Bell--!

The phone beside her pillow rang, and Xiaolan answered it instinctively.

"Xiao Lan, did you see that?"

Sonoko's voice was anxious, and even a little angry.

"I saw it, but..." Xiaolan's eyes were confused.

"No buts!" Sonoko said firmly.

"I won't make you wait for someone for twenty years, even if he's Shinichi!"

"Sonoko, we still don't know what will happen—"

Ran was also somewhat apprehensive, but although she was gentle, she was strong-willed and patiently tried to persuade Sonoko.

"Let's not jump to conclusions yet, let's see what else Xia Ye has to say."

"But!"

Sonoko felt heartbroken at the thought of Ran waiting for Shinichi for twenty years.

She wished she could send her bodyguards right now to embed Shinichi in cement and sink him into Dongdu Bay.

Although they were childhood friends, in her heart, Shinichi couldn't even compare to Ran!

"Sonoko, relax!"

Xiaolan regained her composure and smiled as she said:

"Given Xia Ye's personality, if Shinichi were a bad guy, he would have started cursing him long ago, and his tone wouldn't have been so objective."

"You're right."

Sonoko calmed down a bit; she had almost lost her temper because she was worried about Ran.

Actually, Shinichi Kudo isn't a bad person!

[After all, he's the protagonist of a shonen manga, with a strong sense of justice, boundless passion, extensive knowledge, and handsome looks—he's practically perfect.]

Wait a minute, I like Ran, so isn't he my rival for her affections? Is it a bit inappropriate to praise him like this?

[Fine, let's just roast him from now on!]

Xiao Lan was both amused and exasperated.

Why are you so straightforward, Xia Ye!

Sonoko on the other end of the phone burst out laughing.

As expected of someone writing a diary, they directly expressed their true feelings!

So real!

"Ran, look, Xia Ye has admitted he likes you!" Sonoko teased.

"As expected of the female lead! She's incredibly charming!"

"Heh, didn't you hear him say he's an ALL fan!" Xiaolan retorted, "So he likes you too!"

"That's perfect, I like him too anyway~"

Unlike Ran, Sonoko wasn't shy and said directly:

"I'll confess my feelings to him when I find the opportunity!"

"Even if he likes someone else?" Xiaolan asked the most crucial question.

"Why worry so much about dating?" Sonoko seemed to have already thought it through and didn't care at all. "It's not like we're getting married, let's just give it a try!"

"Yuanzi, your values ​​seem a bit warped..." Xiaolan felt that her best friend seemed to have gone mad!

"Let's not talk about that. Guess how Xia Ye plans to smear Shinichi?"

Natsume has been reading manga for twenty years and is definitely the person who understands Shinichi the most in the world. I wonder from what angle he will start to criticize him. Sonoko can't wait!

"I have no idea......"

Xiaolan didn't know what expression she should make.

The only certainty was that she secretly harbored some expectations.

[Never mind, it's too late today. I'll go to sleep next time it's dark!]

???

Sonoko stared in disbelief at the last sentence in the logbook.

what the hell! ?

I've been waiting for this for so long, and you just abruptly end it here?!

Sonoko wished she could crawl into the journal, travel to Natsume's side, grab him by the neck, and make him hurry up and resume updating!

You piqued people's curiosity, and then you went to sleep!

How can you sleep?

However, the silent logbook told her without a word that Xia Ye had really gone to sleep...

“Xiao Lan…” Yuanzi said, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Sonoko, don't be sad," Ran gently comforted her.

"It's almost midnight, the log rewards are about to be released!"

Xiaolan knew her best friend's personality; diverting her attention was the most effective method.

As Ran expected, Sonoko was quickly drawn to the topic and asked expectantly:

"Right, the reward whose name is mentioned the most is definitely Shiho's. I wonder whose random buff reward will be?"

"Just wait and see!"

Soon, time skipped past midnight and a brand new day began.

[Log reward has been issued]

[Shiho Miyano receives the nomination reward: Rejuvenation for 1 year. Since Shiho Miyano is detected to be under 20 years old, the reward is converted into 1 year of lifespan.]

[XXXX received a viewing log reward: Received the Radiant Buff. Radiant Buff: During the buff period, appearance, temperament, and physical fitness are all at their best, lasting for 10 days.]

[Note: XXXX's name was not mentioned in the log and is currently anonymous, therefore the name is not displayed.]

The log reward results are in.

Everyone who was reviewing the logs fell silent.

Chapter Twenty-One: New Identity: The Crane Needle?

Did your lifespan increase by one year?

Shiho crawled out of bed.

I feel like I don't know how to describe my reward.

An increased lifespan is certainly a good thing.

Let alone a year.

Even if it's just one day of life, many high-ranking officials and wealthy people on the verge of death are willing to exchange countless sums of money for it.

But Shiho was only eighteen years old.

You simply can't understand that feeling.

As for the restoration of youth before the reward conversion, she felt even less of it.

Even the system thinks she is young and beautiful now and doesn't need to restore her youth at all.

So this reward is actually dispensable to her.

Having it is great, but not having it is not a big regret.

Shiho was both amused and exasperated. She regretted not working so hard yesterday and giving Natsume so many perks.

Why do I feel like I've been taken advantage of?

.....

The third floor of the Mori Detective Agency.

In Xiaolan's room.

She was still on the phone with Sonoko.

"Xiaolan, what do you think of these two rewards?"

"I don't really think Shiho needs that reward," Ran said after thinking for a moment.

"Whether it's regaining youth or increasing lifespan, it doesn't mean much to her."

"However, that doesn't mean the reward is bad!"

"On the contrary, older people will absolutely go crazy for this reward!"

"That's right~"

Sonoko wholeheartedly agreed, "If a forty-year-old aunt could receive twenty consecutive rewards, she could transform into a twenty-year-old young girl. Who could resist that!"

"It's not that easy!" Xiaolan laughed.

"Have you forgotten that log rewards are all random? Maybe tomorrow's reward won't be the same!"

"That's really true~"

Sonoko remembered the rules for the reward.

I couldn't help but admire Xiaolan's thoughtfulness.

"Speaking of -"

Xiao Lan sounded somewhat envious.

"That dazzling buff is what I want."

"That buff?" Sonoko opened the log, glanced at the attributes, and looked puzzled.

"Aren't you always at your best? You look so radiant!"

"Who was talking about looks!"

Xiaolan felt a little shy from her best friend's unintentional praise.

I mean physical fitness!

"What does it mean to have your physical condition at its peak within ten days?"

"Unlimited stamina, tireless!"

"If I had this buff, I could practice karate at Xia Ye's dojo all day long, and my progress would be incredibly fast!"

"Moreover, in karate tournaments, if I can maintain my best condition against every opponent, I can definitely win the championship!"

"Now that you mention it, this buff is really powerful!"
