Chapter 204 Game Complete
Lin Che tried shooting Karasuma Renya again, and this time he was unable to revive her.
He asked himself, "What is the next recommended solution?"
Noah's Ark paused for a moment before saying, "Find a way to solve this mysterious disease. I suggest communicating the current situation with the authorities, then safely recall Ai Haibara, and organize a team to research the atomized antidote. Large-scale deployment of the atomized agent can solve the problem efficiently."
"Based on the current spread of the disease, the theoretical timeframe for producing the antidote is 5-48 days."
Lin Che found this rather strange.
Karasuma Renya wanted to destroy the world by administering drug A, but it's impossible to administer the drug to everyone individually.
If a more efficient method of poisoning had been used, the number of deaths should not be so low.
There is an incomprehensible contradiction here.
Unless Karasuma Renya intentionally controls the speed and extent of the drug's spread.
But if you've already chosen to destroy the world, why bother controlling it?
Lin Che felt that he couldn't find the answer on his own.
His status bar now displays the word "poisoned," and the drug mentioned in the description is not APTX-4869, but Silver Bullet-RT.
Karasuma Renya could not possibly do nothing against such a formidable enemy as himself.
However, this poison debuff was useless to Lin Che, as the resistance provided by his full set of legendary red armor was sufficient to resist it.
After all, he's a player. Poisoning is just a buff that causes him to lose health continuously; he'll only die when his health bar is depleted.
Once the poison damage is negated by resistance, there's practically nothing left.
I've only been in Tottori Prefecture for a short time, and now I have to go back to Tokyo.
As for communicating with the authorities?
That's not necessary.
Just issue the order directly.
Thanks to your efforts, the leader of the Black Organization and many core codenamed members have all perished, resulting in a 97% loss rate for the organization. You have successfully completed this game.
Please choose whether to stay in the current world or be reborn back to the original world.
Many images flashed before Lin Che's eyes.
Although I haven't been in the world of science for very long, the experience has been quite rich.
He had no attachment to the original world.
However, he has many ties here.
[You have chosen to remain in the current world. Congratulations! You have gained substantial wealth and power. Your identity is being updated.]
[Identity updated. Your current identity is: President of the Hayashi Foundation (formerly the Karasuma Foundation). Centuries of accumulation have made the Hayashi Foundation the world's number one, surpassing the Suzuki Foundation. Your extensive network of power, built over many years, grants you supreme authority even outside of politics.]
The world's pace has never stopped.
But everything about Lin Che was updated in the blink of an eye.
A street thug transforms himself into the president of the world's number one conglomerate.
As soon as Lin Che stepped out, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of him.
The car door opened, and two men in black respectfully asked, "President, are we heading back to Tokyo next?"
Lin Che adapted quickly, easily getting into the car and sitting in the boss's seat. "Okay, back to Tokyo."
The man in black sitting in the passenger seat immediately handed over a cell phone, saying, "Your personal cell phone."
Lin Che took it and looked at it. He didn't recognize any of the contacts, but there were thoughtful annotations in his eyes.
“It seems the plan can be updated,” Noah’s Ark suddenly said. “The current recommendation is to seize control of the government as soon as possible, and the theoretical timeframe for the antidote’s production is expected to remain unchanged.”
......
Tokyo.
"Mr. Kudo, the plan has changed. The meeting will be postponed by two hours. Someone else will come to talk to you then."
Yusaku Kudo's expression changed slightly.
His biggest worry is that something unexpected might happen, and the situation is already very critical.
As a result, the meeting was not only delayed by two hours, but the people meeting with the meeting also had to be changed.
Instinctively, he felt that the authorities were just trying to appease him by replacing him with a junior karamita, and would continue to go their own way in the general direction.
Yusaku Kudo was, after all, just a mystery novelist. He might have connections, but that didn't make a difference in front of those who held power.
When it comes to important matters, no one will easily change their stance for him just because they are a fan of his novels.
"Then please relay my message to the person," Kudo Yusaku called out. "Tell them that I know what that strange disease is all about, and that I know a feasible solution to it in the short term."
Of course he knew.
My son is taking that kind of medicine.
Ai Haibara has told Conan about the specific effects and uses of APTX-4869, so it wouldn't be difficult for Yusaku Kudo to find out.
It would be ridiculous if a world-class mystery novelist didn't even have this much associative ability.
The problem is that no matter how you look at it, you can't get around Lin Che, the key figure, since Ai Haibara is currently under Lin Che's "control".
Kudo Yusaku wasn't worried that Lin Che would refuse; he was just worried that the authorities would continue to cause trouble because of Lin Che.
Human resources can never truly contend with the power of the state apparatus.
"Okay, I'll report it right away."
"sorry to bother you."
After watching the other person leave, Kudo Yusaku casually found a place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.
The two-hour wait felt like an eternity.
Japan's power structure also underwent a major transformation during this period.
The first person to enjoy the benefits of the revolution was naturally Amuro Tooru.
While he was leading his team in a battle of wits against spies from various countries, he was suddenly transferred and temporarily promoted to Minister of Public Security.
This is Japan!
In this society where seniority is extremely important, getting promoted is incredibly difficult, let alone whether he has the qualifications to be a minister.
Even if it exists, it would take at least 20 years to slowly climb up the ladder.
But now...
Amuro Tooru instinctively felt that something was wrong or that someone was simply making fun of him.
But then he remembered what Lin Che had said before he left.
In any case, having been promoted to minister, he now has to obey the transfer order and return home.
Amuro Tooru was dumbfounded when he returned; it really was Lin Che standing in front of him!
"What's going on?" Amuro Tooru asked, his face filled with shock.
Lin Che has completely transformed himself, now dressed in a suit and looking quite respectable. "Didn't you ask me to promote you? Is being a department head enough? If not, you can continue to rise."
"Enough, enough!" Amuro Tooru quickly stopped him. "I was just expressing my attitude in a joking way. I can't even be a good manager right now. Asking me to be a department head is too childish."
"And how exactly did you do that?"
Lin Che smiled but said nothing.
Amuro Tooru also realized that this was not an information level he could access.
He changed the subject and asked, "So, roughly what level are you at now?"
Amuro Tooru was noticeably more reserved in his speech, carefully choosing his words.
Lin Che held up a finger pointing directly at the ceiling, "I'm the boss now."
The Lin family conglomerate alone cannot put him at the pinnacle of power, but the reward for completing the game itself includes "power".
Amuro Tooru was speechless.
Everything I saw on the way here, including before meeting Lin Che, confirms that what the other party said was true.
Lin Che suddenly became serious. "Now I'm giving you a mission: go to a buoy in the Pacific Ocean and bring back a little girl named Ai Haibara."
"We must use the fastest method; there is absolutely no room for error."
Chapter 205 The Pinnacle of Power
"Pacific buoy?"
Amuro Tooru knew he shouldn't have too many questions right now, so he quickly bowed, accepted the order, and left.
As soon as I stepped out of the house, I looked up and saw Yusaku Kudo being led this way by a staff member.
Although he knew that Yusaku Kudo was a very capable person, he had no interaction with him.
Thinking that Mr. Kudo had been working tirelessly for Lin Che recently and that his views were the same as his own, Amuro Tooru stepped forward and walked to Kudo Yusaku's side, saying softly, "There's no need to rush. All the problems have been resolved."
Amuro Tooru still had a mission to complete and didn't have time to linger.
Yusaku Kudo was somewhat bewildered.
"Mr. Kudo, this is it." The staff member walking in front said.
Yusaku Kudo snapped out of his daze and followed, "Should I go in alone?"
"Yes, please."
Kudo Yusaku straightened his tie, knocked on the door, and then turned the handle to enter the house.
His expression now is similar to that of Amuro Tooru when he first came in.
"Thank you, Mr. Kudo, for speaking up for me and working hard for me during this time. I even caused your house to be bombed and your personal freedom to be restricted."
"I will compensate you for all your losses after a while."
After learning about Kudo Yusaku's actions and experiences during this period, Lin Che did feel guilty.
This is truly a good person.
Kudo Yusaku maintained the composure and dignity of a master detective, "It seems that all the problems I was worried about have been resolved, but I wonder if the process was harmonious?"
He suspected that Lin Che had risen to power through force.
Lin Che chuckled, "Relying on violence is not as efficient as what I'm doing now. I've already arranged for someone to bring Xiao Ai back, and once she's back, we can immediately organize manpower for drug research and development."
"I hope Mr. Kudo can serve as my temporary consultant and help me analyze and identify any problems I may have overlooked."
Yusaku Kudo nodded. "No problem, that's exactly what I wanted. May I ask you another question?"
"You ask."
What is the current situation of the Black Organization?
"Apart from Rum, the second-in-command, who is still at large, all non-undercover codename members of the Black Organization, including the leader, are dead, so it can basically be declared as destroyed."
Yusaku Kudo nodded thoughtfully, thinking to himself that this was truly an extraordinary young man.
"In that case, I wonder what the antidote is..."
“We need Ai to come back to make it. The drug that Karasuma Renya released to the public this time is not the same one that Kudo Shinichi took. Let’s sit down and talk slowly.”
The two didn't chat for very long, mainly because Lin Che had too much work to do right now.
Those who are not in power do not know the hardships of management.
He simply glossed over many of the social upheavals from an observer's perspective.
Now that he has suddenly become the pinnacle of power in Japan, Lin Che must face these problems squarely and provide solutions. At the very least, he must agree to and approve the suggestions of his subordinates.
This cannot be done haphazardly. If certain measures or plans go wrong, Japan will truly be finished.
This is Lin Che's base of operations. He plans to turn against the Great Beauty, embrace China, and then retire here.
But actually, he already wants to retire now. He has never dealt with so many things since he was a child, and he is very unaccustomed to it.
