Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Opening the dungeon requires a payment of 1000 Spirit Essence.

With the experience and spiritual energy rewarded in the second round, even if we lose the third round, we won't lose anything!

That makes sense. It's a Demon King-level dungeon after all, with hundreds of thousands of HP. It would be strange if the rewards were meager!

Bang——! ! !

Less than two minutes later, an explosion suddenly rang out, and the entire stadium shook as if an earthquake had struck.

Large chunks of rock kept falling from the ceiling, hitting members of the fan groups on both sides.

The seats were packed tightly together, and rubble kept falling, so a scene of utter desolation and screams filled the air.

Only the middle of the field is a safe zone.

"Urgent notice: Round 3 is starting ahead of schedule!"

Kogoro loudly announced: "The player who makes the most rescues within five minutes will win the third round!!!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ran Mouri had already run off to rescue the person.

Chu Zhong shook his head repeatedly upon seeing this:

Those who get caught up in the game might subconsciously ignore some common sense.

For example, the area above the field was empty, so why did stones suddenly appear out of thin air?

Why is the surrounding area so dangerous, and only the competition area is safe?

"Forget it, let's just treat it as a dungeon mechanic..."

Chu Zhong, too lazy to dwell on it, also took action.

Take out 9 love chocolates and summon 3 guardians to rescue the person.

He then took out nine more Friendship Chocolates and summoned three Destroyers to delay Ran Mouri's rescue efforts.

Ran Mouri has to save people while also dealing with interference from the saboteurs, leaving her with no time to spare and only enough time to save a few people per minute.

Chu Zhong couldn't help but feel fortunate.

If it weren't for the ability to freeze the enemy and collect all the chocolates in the second round, successfully expanding the advantage, I would probably be the one in a panic right now.

The first round is combat, the second is romance/friendship, and the third is rescue.

The three matches subtly correspond to some of Ran Mouri's traits...

This instance is quite interesting.

After five minutes, the falling debris, roughly as expected, stopped appearing.

Even the injured and wailing fan club members recovered completely as if nothing had happened.

"Time's up! Let's see the scores of the two contestants!"

"Ran Mouri, number of rescues: 26"

"Chu Zhong contestant, number of rescuers: 70"

"The winner of the third round is... Chu Zhong!"

"Congratulations to Chu Zhong for winning two out of three games and becoming the winner of today's match!"

Thunderous applause erupted.

All the fan club members kept chanting Chu Zhong's name.

[Victory in the match, gained experience: 1000, spirit essence: 1100]

[Dungeon Rating: A]

[Rewards: 3000 Experience Points, 3300 Spirit Essence]

Current Spiritual Energy: 24500

[Level Up! Current Level: 11 → 13]

[2 skill point gained upon level up]

The two consecutive experience gains allowed Chu Zhong to level up once again.

Needless to say, skill points will be used to further increase the level of the Immobilization skill.

Every extra second you freeze in place gives you a greater advantage over your enemy!

[Materials Obtained: Exquisite Inner Core, Fine Gold Thread]

It actually revealed a 'Exquisite Inner Core'!

These are the main ingredients for refining divine-grade celestial elixirs!

【Taiyi Purple Gold Pill】: Increases maximum mana by 50.

Materials needed: 5 Monster Inner Cores, 5000 Spirit Essence

Required equipment: Supreme Alchemy Furnace

In addition, there are the Jade Lotus Golden Pill, which increases maximum health, and the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, which increases maximum energy...

These elixirs are all made from the inner cores of demonic beasts.

Unfortunately, we lack a pill-making furnace, and we don't know where to find one...

In the game, there are special NPCs who help with alchemy, but there are none in the world of Detective Conan.

As for the gold thread, it is one of the materials for crafting equipment, but unfortunately, there are too few of them now, and we need to continue collecting them.

In short, running dungeons more often to accumulate experience and materials is never a bad idea.

[Reward items obtained: Ran Mouri's Home Cooking Manual, Teitan High School Student ID]

Check the effects of the two newly acquired items.

"Ran Mouri's Home Cooking Manual": It records many family recipes and kitchen tips, making it easier to improve your cooking skills.

Chu Zhong didn't pay much attention to the cookbook.

My eyes lit up when I saw the student ID!

"Teitan High School Student ID": Allows you to choose your class and seat at Teitan High School.

Great stuff! Definitely great stuff!

It's not that Chu Zhong likes going to school,

It's not about what this student ID represents!

—Legal household registration!

[Countdown to instance closing: 5 minutes]

Before the countdown ended, Chu Zhong proactively closed the instance.

Eager to use the item: Teitan High School student ID!

A semi-transparent screen, visible only to him, immediately appeared before his eyes.

Enter similar enrollment information into a form, including name, age, home address, and registered residence.

Then a classroom seating chart popped up on the screen, with each seat labeled with a student's name.

Without a second thought, Chu Zhong quickly chose his seat.

[Information entry complete. Item consumed: Teitan High School Student ID]

Now, his legal household registration should be listed in the official information of Japan!

Having resolved the issue of unregistered residents, Chu Zhong snapped out of his excitement.

"Well……"

"what……"

"call……"

The pedestrians on the street were breathing heavily, which sounded very strange.

Chapter 13 Xiao Lan is just around the corner

He looked around.

Chu Zhong noticed that most of the passersby were out of breath and looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them in the dungeon.

Could it be that... the events that happen in the instance also have some impact on reality?

Chu Zhong couldn't help but speculate,

The dungeon's scenes are based on reality, but modified and expanded upon.

In the second match, he used poison for a full hour before finally defeating Ran Mouri.

Passersby were "recruited" to become members of the fan club and cheered loudly for a full hour. It would be strange if they weren't exhausted under normal circumstances.

Fortunately, the impact was limited. The passersby were only a little out of breath and had no memory of what happened in the instance. They continued on their way, following their own lives.

Look straight ahead.

Ran Mouri, who was walking not far away, suddenly leaned against the wall of a shop, panting, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

"What's wrong... I suddenly feel a little tired..."

"Valentine's Day chocolate...Shinichi..."

"And... Dad and Mom..."

Ran Mouri suddenly had some images flash through her mind. She couldn't remember them clearly, but she could vaguely recall the attitudes.

For example, Kogoro and Eri Kisaki don't really like Shinichi Kudo.

For example, Shinichi always ignores her and doesn't listen to her...

And...it seems...

As if sensing something, Ran Mouri inexplicably turned her head to look.

Good morning... Miss Xiaolan.

Chu Zhong, who was observing from a short distance away, was caught red-handed and had no choice but to take a few steps closer and say hello.

Especially when his eyes met Ran Mouri's, there seemed to be some hidden information in that complex gaze.

'No other passersby seemed to be acting strangely...'

'Could it be that Ran Mouri, as the boss, remembers what happened in the dungeon?'

Chu Zhong secretly guessed, but remained calm on the surface, explaining half-heartedly and showing half-concern: "I just finished breakfast at Polo Coffee Shop, and when I saw you passing by, I thought I'd say hello..."

"Miss Xiaolan, you're sweating so much, are you feeling unwell?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Ran Mouri's eyes, "I don't know either... I suddenly feel weak all over..."

Chu Zhong then persuaded Ran Mouri to rest at the Polo Coffee Shop for a while, citing concerns about her health.

Then he handed her a tissue to wipe her sweat and asked for more information, such as what she thought of when she felt unwell.

"It seems like something flashed by, but I can't remember it clearly..."

Ran Mouri looked puzzled and frowned slightly: "I only vaguely remember it being related to Shinichi, Dad, Mom... and..."

Their gazes shifted upwards, meeting again, and Ran Mouri stopped speaking.

"And me?" Chu Zhong added.

"N-no!" Ran Mouri blushed slightly, seemingly remembering something, slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and hurriedly left.

Chu Zhong followed her gaze and realized that Ran Mouri was heading back to the office, probably to wash off her sweat.

Judging from Ran Mouri's reaction and the keywords, she can only remember a very limited amount of information related to the copy.

Only the more profound ones can leave a slight impression.

If even a Demon King-level BOSS is like this, let alone the passersby who are just there to create atmosphere.
