Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

It's really not easy to thoroughly understand these dozens of papers in such a short period of time.

However, Ai Haibara looked at him with some disdain.

"These books are all original English versions, and they contain a lot of professional terminology. I've read these books myself, and even for a PhD graduate from medical school, understanding them in a short time is not an easy task."

But you've only been flipping through the book; you haven't been studying seriously at all.

Miyazaki Yu smiled, intending to tease her.

"Oh? Could it be that I'm exceptionally gifted, have mastered a large number of professional terms, and can quickly understand their meanings and grasp the essence of the matter?"

After flipping through the book, Ai Haibara snorted coldly, "The whole book is very complicated and involves knowledge from multiple disciplines. There are probably as many as five or six sub-fields."

If you can truly master it completely, I can grant you one request. And if I lose, I can still grant you one request!

Miyazaki Yu smiled knowingly, making the girl feel a little guilty, but she immediately looked at him with a stubborn expression.

"In that case, you can test me with the contents of this book and see if I really understand it."

Ai Haibara snorted coldly. Some guys are just stubborn. It seems I need to teach some of them a lesson today. Trying to put on a brave face in front of girls like this will only hurt them in the end.

In fact, the little girl is usually very well-behaved, but for some reason these past few days, she has developed a strong obsession with making Miyazaki Yu suffer a little.

Perhaps it was because she had been seeing this guy and a certain high school girl being very affectionate these past few days. Although they were both very restrained, the caring look in their eyes made the very sensitive girl very unhappy.

No matter the age of a woman, she can skip meals, but she can't skip vinegar!

So she quickly browsed through the table of contents, found an article, and then selected a particular angle from it, and began to ask questions.

As the creator of APTX-4869, Ai Haibara's talent is beyond doubt, especially in pharmacology, where her abilities are in no way inferior to those internationally renowned figures.

Therefore, she used her strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses, and the paper she chose was about drug development.

This is her forte; she only needs to glance at it briefly to grasp the key points.

However, after she asked the question, Miyazaki Yu quickly provided the answer.

This left the girl stunned; this guy had actually answered correctly!

So she increased the difficulty, starting with more in-depth content, organizing questions, and even extending to other sub-fields of medicine.

After all, as a genius girl and a key figure being groomed by the Black Organization, she has made significant achievements in multiple disciplines, not just in drug manufacturing.

But she was soon shocked to discover that this swordsman, with his extraordinary swordsmanship, also possessed such a vast knowledge of various disciplines.

This shocked the girl even more.

Her profound knowledge of pharmacology was a source of pride for her, but the man before her, who pursued the way of the sword, also possessed such profound expertise in these areas.

Of course, she had no idea that the person in front of her was a cheat code, possessing the ability to multitask and also having a memory palace that could store a large amount of information and gradually digest it for his own use.

Therefore, his learning efficiency is dozens of times higher than that of the average person!

In addition, considering his accumulated experience from his two lifetimes, although Ai Haibara is a genius girl, she is still inferior to him in some aspects.

What the girl didn't know was that Miyazaki Yu was even more shocked. This girl was so young, yet she already had such knowledge and experience, which was comparable to those old guys who had been immersed in the field for many years.

In particular, I can only learn by imitation and follow existing methods right now; I can't access the truly advanced things yet.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems I need to learn something from this girl."

Their question-and-answer session progressed faster and faster, and Miyazaki Yu no longer just answered questions but also casually raised his own.

Ai glared at him, but still answered his question properly.

In the end, it turned into a discussion between the two of them, and they never mentioned the previous bet again.

The little girl's eyes lit up. This guy was really something; there was no problem communicating with him at all. Even someone as proud as her couldn't help but feel admiration.

After all, there are very few people who can keep up with her train of thought.

Just as the two were getting along better and better, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Xiaoyu, a police officer has come to visit. He seems to have something to discuss with you."

Miyazaki Yu asked in surprise, "Officer? Could it be Inspector Megure?"

After giving Ai a few instructions, he walked outside. When he got downstairs, he was surprised to find that the person who came was none other than Director Yanagisawa, who had taught him the sword when he became a sword master.

"It's Director Liu Ze. It's an honor to have Director Liu Ze here. I've been so negligent."

Director Yanagisawa, who was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, stood up and smiled at Miyazaki Yu.

"Miyazaki Kengo is too kind. I should be the one feeling honored. Japan doesn't lack a Superintendent General of Police, but when it comes to young swordsmen, Miyazaki Kengo is the only one."

Both of them laughed and then sat down. Miyazawa Mie had already served tea. Now that Miyazaki Yu had money, he bought only the best tea. As soon as it was served, the aroma of tea filled the air.

Good tea combined with excellent brewing techniques can always bring a unique experience.

After offering a few words of praise, Director Liu Ze finally revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Miyazaki Kengo, we've known each other for a while now, so I won't keep anything from you."

Since Miyazaki Kenshin became a swordsman, we have all seen what you have done. You have provided a lot of help to our police force. Not only did you help that guy Megure and solve several tricky cases, but you also turned the tide in the Morita family incident.

"If it weren't for your intervention, if Chairman Morita Einobu had met with misfortune, our police force would have lost all face."

That's true. He's a member of parliament and the leader of a major conglomerate. He sought protection from your police and still got into trouble right under your noses. The police will definitely face countless accusations and questions.

"Director Liu Ze is too kind. It is only right and proper for me to help the police. Since we have encountered this situation, there is no reason for me to stand idly by. As for the Morita family's matter, the eldest daughter of the Morita family is my classmate and the president of our kendo club. Naturally, I cannot ignore it."

Director Liu Ze smiled slightly. "It's good to be young; you're always full of passion."

Their thinking isn't too utilitarian, which is good, unlike those old guys who have to consider the interests of all sides in everything, making them hesitant and unsatisfying in their actions.

"There is one more thing, which is also the main purpose of my visit. I hope that Miyazaki-kun can participate in a government-led research project."

Chapter 268 Research on Body Functions (3rd update!)

"A government-led research project?"

Miyazaki Yu was slightly taken aback. What kind of project would invite him to participate?

If he's involved in a research team, he doesn't currently have academic status; he's just a high school student.

That means the government doesn't need his student status, but rather his status as a swordsman. If he participates, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be involved in the research, but rather he'll become the subject of that research!

This instinctively aroused his aversion.

No one likes to be used as a guinea pig for research, and Miyazaki Hayao is no exception.

"Director Liu Ze, although I don't know what the government's so-called research is, please forgive me for refusing. Although I have become a swordsman of the Sword Master Association, I am still aware of my own limitations. After all, I am still just a high school student."

I don't have the ability to research anything. My current task is to learn various kinds of knowledge. If the government continues to invite me after I graduate from university, I will naturally gladly go.

"what?"

Director Liu Ze's throat tightened. Although he had expected the other party to refuse, he did not expect them to refuse so decisively.

Before he could even say it, it was clear that the young man was very clever and had already guessed something. I couldn't help but admire him inwardly.

However, that project was far too important, as it involved a series of weapons development programs and design data for equipment used in special environments.

These things cannot be achieved through mere conjecture and calculation; they require a large amount of experimental data, especially human data!

Miyazaki Hayao, being young and possessing a strong physical heritage, is the best research subject.

Therefore, his task was to persuade the other party to participate.

Unexpectedly, this young man was so intelligent that he directly refuted the whole thing in one step, leaving him speechless.

"Ah, Miyazaki Kengo is indeed exceptionally intelligent. It seems you've already figured it out. So I'll be frank with you. The research the government wants to conduct this time is research on human physiology."

As you should know, Japan has always been a vassal state of China, and in modern times, it has been suppressed by the United States, which has greatly restricted it in terms of politics, economy and military.

Especially in the military sphere, the United States' suppression of us has reached an intolerable level.

Therefore, over the years, our leaders have been trying to align themselves with China.

However, the Dragon Kingdom still harbors resentment over our past betrayal and has never truly and sincerely accepted us. Therefore, we need a sufficient bargaining chip to gain the Dragon Kingdom's trust, and the research project launched by the government this time is for this ultimate goal.

Upon hearing this explanation, Miyazaki Yu's heart stirred.

In this Detective Conan world, the relationship between the Dragon Kingdom and Japan is quite different from the original timeline. Japan has been a vassal state of the Dragon Kingdom since ancient times, but in modern times, in order to break free from the Dragon Kingdom's control, Japan has gradually moved closer to the West.

As a result, Japan became a traitor to the Eastern world and was ostracized everywhere. In the West, Japan was also unwelcome and was openly and covertly squeezed out, with no intention of being accepted.

As a result, a trend of returning to China emerged within Japan.

However, China has always valued benevolence and morality, and Japan's betrayal naturally aroused great indignation. Although Japan has frequently tried to make goodwill over the past few decades, it has not been accepted.

This put Japan under pressure from both the East and the West.

It seems that some people have made up their minds.

However, I never expected that I would become a part of this plan.

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly: "Director Yanagisawa, the world order naturally has its own unique rules. Japan's current predicament is also due to its own problems. In fact, most of the time, the predicament of any country is not caused by external factors."

Rather, the problem stems from within itself. Take the Dragon Kingdom, for example. It was the suzerain state for a thousand years and had always been a benefactor to Japan, yet it was betrayed. How could it possibly continue to trust Japan?

I don't think the Dragon Kingdom will change its opinion of Japan because of a mere research project.

I know that many Americans still run rampant in Japan, especially some FBI members who practically enjoy extraterritoriality in Japan and frequently interfere with Japanese police investigations.

In this situation, I really can't see where the government's resolve lies.

Director Liu Ze's expression hardened.

This young man is more difficult to deal with than I imagined!

Generally speaking, young people's patriotism is the most intense and direct.

He used the pretext of national righteousness to try and persuade the young swordsman to agree easily.

However, I have clearly underestimated the other party's wisdom. The government is indeed willing to align itself with China, but how can the political inertia of many years be changed all at once?

Therefore, what often comes out is indecisiveness and playing both sides.

Such behavior is naturally shameful, and Miyazaki Yu pointed it out without any politeness, making even the Metropolitan Police Department's director blush.

“Miyazaki Kengo is right, but this project is indeed of great significance. As long as you can cooperate with the government’s research plan, the government will definitely provide corresponding compensation.”

Miyazaki Yu shook her head again: "Director Yanagisawa, I'm not interested in money. As long as I have enough to live on, that's fine. Otherwise, more money is just a burden."

I have absolutely no interest in being a guinea pig.
