After Yuu Hoshimiya determined his next course of action, the news on the television also came to an end.
The last news item was about an explosion case.
A building was completely destroyed, yet only a few people suffered minor injuries, so the officials used it as the headline news to close the day.
The content of the report said almost nothing about the explosion itself; the focus was entirely on propaganda regarding the timely official rescue and the lack of casualties.
Explosion cases are not rare at all in the world of Conan. Yuu glanced at it a couple of times, found no clues related to any Destiny Events, and stopped paying attention to this explosion.
Once the news broadcast finished, he focused his attention on his personal panel.
[Name]: Yuu Hoshimiya
[Talents]: Traveler (Red), Favorite of the Goddess of Luck (Red), Celestial Appearance (Orange), Memory Palace (Orange), True Eye (Purple), Flexible Tendons and Bones (Purple), Presence Concealment (Purple), Perpetual Motion Waist (Purple), Magic Resistance (Blue), Deep Sleep (Blue), Rapid Recovery (Blue), Muscle Enhancement (Blue), Drug Resistance (White)
Yuu collapsed all the detailed talent descriptions. After this period of hard training and usage, he knew the effect of each talent without looking at the system's explanations.
Looking at that row of talents, Yuu felt a sense of accomplishment, but at the same time, he felt a bit dazzled.
It looked like a lot, but the actual effects basically fell into three categories.
They were talents that strengthened the body, talents that strengthened the mind, and conceptual talents involving luck, charm, and so on.
Rather than dividing them so finely, it would actually be better to integrate them into three major categories, such as XX Physique, XX Spirit, and XX Law.
Then, after obtaining a talent, increase the corresponding experience points based on the grade of the talent obtained.
For example, White adds 100 experience, Blue adds 1000, and Purple adds 10000.
And so on.
When experience increases to a certain level, one can upgrade. After upgrading, all aspects of that category of talent would be strengthened on average.
For instance, if one obtained a Gold Physique-type talent, after the experience increased, it would comprehensively strengthen strength, speed, reaction, recovery, endurance, and all other aspects.
Since he has a cheat, he definitely wants to be an all-round warrior.
Everyone understands the principle of the "Wooden Bucket Theory"; if he capsizes because of one short board, he would really become a Muggle.
The system is divided so finely now, but Yuu himself has been working towards comprehensive development; otherwise, he wouldn't have always wanted to acquire talents to improve his other five senses.
The last system upgrade gave him the Destiny Contract function he needed most. It would be great if the system could evolve and upgrade according to his thoughts.
In that case, he would also want a Store and Inventory function, and ideally, a Mission function to provide more ways to obtain rewards.
"System-sis? Give me a reaction? Even telling me how to upgrade you would be fine."
Yuu's thoughts were beautiful, and he even waited expectantly for a while, but the system gave no response.
After the system was activated, it wasn't that he hadn't tried to communicate with it, but unfortunately, he hadn't received a response until now.
He was used to it, so Yuu wasn't too disappointed.
Since he didn't get a response, Yuu could only continue to strengthen himself according to the previous plan.
The two Talent Copy chances definitely had to be saved. He would wait until he met a suitable Orange, or preferably a Red talent, to find an opportunity to copy it.
Currently, apart from Ran and Conan, Yuu hadn't checked anyone else who had a Red talent.
Gin only had an Orange [Precision Shooting] talent, a Purple [Intuition] talent, and a Blue [Rapid Recovery] talent.
You could tell the effect of the talents by their names. [Precision Shooting] improved the accuracy of long-range weapons, with a limit of 1000 meters. This was the capital that allowed Gin to sit firmly as the organization's top sniper.
Akai Shuichi was a bit stronger than him and probably had a similar Gold talent, only the effective distance might be a bit larger than Gin's.
[Intuition] could be simply understood as a low-configuration version of Ran's [Sixth Sense]; it just meant strong instincts.
[Rapid Recovery] was the same as Yuu's, so there was no need to explain further.
Gin didn't have any Red talents, but Shiho Miyano did have a Red talent that could increase calculation power and research success rate.
Besides this Red talent, she also had a Purple Charm talent.
However, neither was what Yuu needed, so he didn't pay much attention.
Then there was Makoto Kyogoku, who had a Red quality [Humanoid Beast] talent. This was something Yuu had specially gone to Haido High School to check.
This talent not only comprehensively enhanced physical fitness but also provided a temporary boost during combat, while also improving comprehension of combat skills.
Yuu coveted this talent very much, but unfortunately, he never had the chance to copy it.
He wasn't familiar with Makoto Kyogoku, and Makoto was a popular figure at school. Finding an excuse to do something awkward like forcibly shaking hands for three seconds wasn't impossible.
But Makoto Kyogoku's current combat value was far higher than his, so success couldn't be 100% guaranteed.
Moreover, this kind of behavior was too strange and eye-catching, which didn't fit with the low profile he always maintained.
After much consideration, Yuu wasn't in a hurry to copy it.
Anyway, in terms of unarmed combat power currently, while he might not be incredibly strong, he definitely wouldn't be beaten to death.
Even if it was Makoto Kyogoku, if he couldn't win, he could still escape.
The two Copy chances would be put aside for now, but there was no need to save the two Upgrade chances and the Draw chances.
Although he hadn't saved enough for a ten-pull yet, Yuu decided to use this opportunity to use them all together.
"System-sis, upgrade True Eye."
Reciting silently in his heart, a familiar warm current generated out of thin air.
Accompanied by a slight swelling pain, this warm current quickly concentrated around his eyeballs and optic nerves.
A few seconds later, the warm current and the swelling pain dissipated together, and Yuu only felt that his entire eye area was incredibly comfortable and relaxed.
In the next instant, the system's notification rang in his mind as expected.
[Upgrade successful, obtained Orange talent 'Eye of Truth'.]
The Purple quality True Eye became the Orange quality Eye of Truth. The passive effect basically didn't change, only slightly strengthened.
But when actively used, the duration of Bullet Time increased from three seconds to ten seconds.
The cooldown time didn't change, but the consumption was reduced.
Now, using up these ten seconds consumed just as much as the previous three seconds.
Bullet Time didn't have to last until the end once used, but three seconds was too short. If split up, Yuu basically couldn't do anything, so he simply used it all up every time.
Ten seconds was different.
Split into two five-second bursts, Yuu could now use it twice a day.
Pushing it to the limit, split into three seconds, he could use it three times directly!
And there would still be one second left, just in case.
Yuu was very satisfied with the effect after the upgrade. However, when he tried to upgrade the Eye of Truth again to see what effect the top-tier Red quality would have, the system indicated that it was temporarily unavailable for upgrade.
Come to think of it, he had never tried to upgrade an Orange quality talent to Red. Could it be that the limit the system could directly upgrade to was Orange?
Seeming to sense Yuu's doubt, the system rarely took the initiative to respond.
[Physical strength is insufficient, not enough to support Red quality eye-type talents.]
The corner of Yuu's mouth twitched, and his expression was a bit strange.
Physical strength? Eye-type talent?
What the heck? Could you upgrade me a Kaleidoscope Sharingan or something?
He had always felt the system was a bit chuunibyou, and now it was basically confirmed.
But chuunibyou aside, Yuu could understand the system's explanation.
This was the "wooden bucket" situation he had always been worried about.
The body is a whole; improving one aspect alone will definitely have limits.
As one of the five senses, his current vision could be called the limit of humanity, but hearing, smell, taste, and touch were still at the level of ordinary people.
If it weren't for other talents enhancing his physical fitness, the Orange quality Eye of Truth might not have been upgradable.
Unable to continue upgrading the vision talent, Yuu looked around the talent column and didn't feel there was anything suitable for upgrading.
Red quality couldn't be upgraded, and Celestial Appearance and Memory Palace didn't need upgrading.
Memory Palace was definitely not needed for the time being.
If Celestial Appearance was upgraded again, Yuu was afraid of becoming a humanoid succubus that came with its own BGM and special effects as soon as he appeared.
If he could actively choose whether to reveal his charm after upgrading, he would definitely upgrade it.
That way, he could just turn it on when conquering beauties. It would significantly reduce the difficulty of getting started, and he could hide himself better on ordinary days.
But if he couldn't...
Then he wouldn't have any peaceful days in the future.
Naturally, Yuu couldn't bet on this probability, but using it to upgrade other talents felt wasteful, so he was torn for a while.
While hesitating, the previous thought appeared again.
If only he could average out the strengthening. Upgrade chances equal fixed experience points; fill in wherever needed, so there would be no need to worry.
But thinking more was useless; the system remained silent.
Finally, Yuu simply did a wave of draws first to see if he could get any useful talents, and then use the upgrade chances to strengthen them.
[Obtained Blue Talent...]
[Obtained Purple Talent...]
[Obtained Blue Talent...]
...
He didn't know if he was favored by the Goddess of Luck, but not a single trashy White quality appeared.
Seven consecutive times, a total of five Blues and two Purples.
The quality was good, but none were what Yuu needed, and nothing new appeared; they were all duplicates.
The two Purple qualities were [Presence Concealment] and [Flexible Tendons and Bones]. Not enough to synthesize and unable to fuse, they could only be stored temporarily.
The situation with the Blue quality talents was about the same.
"Tsk, in that case, it would have been better to get two White quality Drug Resistances."
Yuu complained: "That way, after three combine into Blue, I could use the upgrade chances to boost it directly to Purple."
He really didn't look highly upon White quality talents now. Not only were the effects weak, but they also had some side effects.
If the Drug Resistance talent was upgraded to Purple, the effect would definitely be good.
There would definitely be no negative effects; it would only produce resistance to harmful things, and the effect would increase significantly.
Except for extremely potent poisons, ordinary poisons couldn't take Yuu's life.
And those potent poisons basically had very strong smells or colors, which were very easy to distinguish.
Rounding it up, it was equivalent to obtaining the Invulnerability to a Hundred Poisons talent that Yuu longed for.
Continuing to upgrade, maybe at Red quality, it could really achieve Invulnerability to a Hundred...
No, Invulnerability to Ten Thousand Poisons.
But right now...
Yuu looked at that White quality, then looked at the upgrade chances he had obtained with great difficulty.
Gritted his teeth, closed his eyes.
Directly chose to upgrade [Perpetual Motion Waist].
The system seemed to be confused by Yuu's sudden turn, and it took two seconds before it started executing the command.
A warm current began to linger near his kidneys. Yuu felt his combat power and endurance receive another huge boost.
Rather than upgrading a White quality talent with unknown specific effects, it was better to upgrade the Purple quality [Perpetual Motion Waist] to Orange first.
There were more and more confidantes around him, and he just happened to need to strengthen his own important engine.
No matter how powerful 'Little Yuu' was as a weapon, if there wasn't enough power to support it, it wouldn't be able to exert its full strength!
Moreover, powerful kidney function could also improve metabolism and increase immunity. Wasn't that a roundabout way of improving poison resistance~
[Upgrade successful, obtained Orange quality talent 'Dragon Spine Essence Furnace'.]
The system notification sounded, and the warm energy flow dissipated into thin air.
Dragon Spine Essence Furnace (Orange): Kidney capacity increases massively, energy is incredibly abundant, like a humanoid giant dragon. Undefeatable in a hundred battles, and like a dragon, can engage in reproductive behavior anytime, anywhere.
Without even checking the system introduction, just hearing this name, Yuu knew this upgrade was definitely not a loss.
After reading the system description, he was even more satisfied.
Only this kind of powerful talent was worthy of his gifted good brother. With the two dragons joining forces, he wouldn't need to fear any number of enemies in the future.
Yuu clenched his fist, feeling endless strength all over his body. He really wanted to drag Seimi Asai and the other girls for a fierce battle right now.
Because he fought against many every night, battling at least twice, he hadn't had this unbearable feeling for a long time.
Thinking of it, he did it. Yuu decided to go to the Suzuki house right now.
It just so happened that he had promised to repay the three Suzuki women, so it could be considered fulfilling his promise.
But when Yuu arrived at the familiar grand manor, apart from the maids and the pretty female gardener who had been hired at some point, the three Suzuki women were all not at home.
Tsk, he shouldn't have run around randomly. Wouldn't it have been nice to honestly stay at home and have a taste with Sister Seimi first!
Sipping the tea served by the maid sister, Yuu thought with some regret.
Only when he arrived did he remember that today was a workday.
Sonoko Suzuki was at school, Tomoko Suzuki was at work, and Ayako Suzuki had taken people to the police station to trouble Ryoichi Takahashi again.
If he wanted to repay them properly, he should come back at night.
Because of Akemi Miyano's affairs over the past two days, he hadn't gone to work, which made him forget about this.
As for the impact of skipping work...
With Sonoko Suzuki there, there would be no impact.
Moreover, he only had one class a week. If he sped up a bit later, he could catch up with the progress.
Honestly, if not for the fact that the identity of a teacher was still somewhat useful, and the Conan world jumped to holidays every two days, Yuu would have wanted to open an agency like Kogoro Mouri.
That way, he could not only concentrate on handling his own affairs but also have more time to participate in Destiny Events and conquer beauties.
It was just past noon now, and it would take several hours for the Suzuki women to return home.
These young and beautiful girls in the manor should all have been carefully selected by Tomoko Suzuki according to requirements. How about using them first?
Just as Yuu was pondering whether to make a move on the pretty young ladies in the manor, a beautiful mature woman wearing a kimono announced to Yuu that there was a visitor.
The servants in the manor had basically all been changed according to Yuu's instructions. This beautiful mature woman was found by Tomoko Suzuki to replace the previous butler.
A woman's butler uniform needs to be custom-made, especially for such an incredibly plump and sexy mature woman; it needs to be made carefully according to measurements, otherwise, she can't wear it at all.
Because the craftsmanship was complex and it hadn't been finished yet, this mature female housekeeper was wearing a kimono.
Yuu scanned the housekeeper's curvy figure up and down, his heart becoming hotter.
This female housekeeper looked like she had given birth. According to his request, she should also have a young and beautiful daughter who came with her.
He just didn't know if she was arranged by Tomoko Suzuki in the manor or working at the company building.
As someone with experience, the mature housekeeper immediately saw the fire in Yuu's eyes.
Under the kimono, her plump body, ripe to the point of dripping, trembled subconsciously, and she became soaking wet just like that.
She became a widow early on, raising her daughter alone, and never had a sex life again.
Before the Suzuki family found their mother and daughter, life had been hard. When she agreed to come to work, she had already been informed about Yuu.
Actually, at first, the mother and daughter did not agree, until they saw Yuu's photo later, which changed their minds.
Serving such a handsome, tall young man, who was said to have excellent physical fitness, they didn't seem to be losing out.
Not to mention that the Suzuki family offered a salary they couldn't refuse.
Selecting people according to Yuu's requirements was actually quite difficult. Beautiful women who really did it for money basically wouldn't keep their chastity.
Conversely, those who could keep their chastity wouldn't value money particularly highly.
The amazing remuneration promised by the Suzuki family only accounted for part of the credit in recruitment; the greater credit was Yuu's photo.
The object of service being a young handsome guy greatly reduced the resistance of these women.
Just as Yuu liked beautiful women, women also liked handsome guys.
Especially for a long-neglected woman, knowing Yuu's capital made her think in that direction uncontrollably.
Of course, there were also scum women who thought they might not necessarily be fancied by Yuu and just wanted to get the high salary first.
However, none of these women holding a fluke mentality would escape in the end.
With the Chain of Fate ability and having strengthened his power furnace, Yuu had already begun planning to stamp his exclusive mark on the beauties already recruited, one by one.
After seeing Yuu in person, this beautiful mature housekeeper felt he was even more attractive than the photo.
Not only handsome and dashing but also full of a strong masculine magnetic field. Just getting close made her legs go soft, wanting to kneel and submit, allowing him to play with her.
The [Dragon Spine Essence Furnace] talent didn't have an aphrodisiac effect; it was her personal reasons that made her exaggerate so much.
After all, she was a mature woman who had been neglected for many years; her body instinct was just this thirsty. And knowing that she would be eaten clean by Yuu sooner or later, her brain didn't want to restrain itself at all.
If it were other young and pure maid sisters, seeing Yuu would at most make them blush and their hearts beat faster.
While expecting to be eaten by Yuu, they would also be shy and panicked.
