Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 365: Strength Enhancement and Intensity
Monday, October 3.

Early in the morning, in the Mihua Office, Bai Shi received waves of surprised and even shocked looks - "Director Mihua" had a bandage on his arm today!

The last time the director had a bandage on his arm was when he was bitten by a killer whale...

Haven’t you heard about any extremely vicious thugs or violent cases with a huge impact in Dongdu recently?
"Director, what's wrong with you?" When Section Chief Yuanwei saw this, he immediately showed concern.

"Nothing, just fell down." Bai Shi said vaguely.

Yuan, who was standing nearby, had just returned from training at the Metropolitan Police Department. When he heard the chief's words, he asked in surprise, "Huh? Did he fall from the apartment?"

Well, Yuan knew that Director Shiraishi lived on the 18th floor...

"It was just a simple fall!" Shiraishi saw what he was thinking and then suggested, "How about studying at the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"I feel like there's been a big improvement!" Yuan said in a cliché.

"Well, there will be a lot of new police officers in the station, and some will go directly into the criminal department. As seniors, you should set an example." Shiraishi encouraged.

"Yes!" Yuan replied.

The reason why Shiraishi went to work "with injuries" was because today was the day when new police officers reported for duty.

With Shiraishi's strong promotion, nearly 102 police officers, including administrative police officers, have "graduated" from promotion to ordinary transfers in the Beihua Police Department this year, so 20 new police officers were transferred in at one go - not only did they gain more quota places, but the replacement rate was nearly %, which can be said to be a major reshuffle!

On days like this, the Rice Flower Bureau is naturally very busy.

In the morning, each class goes to call on people, and then they have their own small meetings. Before noon, there will be a general meeting in the auditorium. As the director, I have to come out to preside over the meeting and give a speech.

Of course, to be precise, Bai Shi was not actually "injured" and did not have any amputation.

When I injected the metamorphosis... cough, evolutionary fluid yesterday, nothing unexpected happened to the drug itself, it's just...

Because of Shiraishi's "just in case", a small accident occurred!
In order to avoid irreversible consequences, Bai Shi controlled the impact range of the evolutionary fluid during the "intravenous injection" and concentrated it only on his left arm.

Originally, Bai Shi thought that he would focus on the effect and then spread it to the whole body, but...

Lost control midway!
Because Bai Shi was unable to fine-tune the evolution of his left arm, it was unable to spread throughout the body, so 90% of the evolution fluid was trapped in the entire arm...

This results in a very uneven effect.

If the degree of evolution that Bai Shi can withstand is 10%, then his whole body can now withstand about 120% to 130%, of which 100% is in his left arm!

As for the impact...

First of all, Ai said that the effect of this "evolution essence" is to induce mutation, not the efficacy of the medicine itself that enhances the human body, so there is no such thing as "replenishing dosage". In other words, this imbalance will always exist - it is equivalent to Shiraishi using 90% of his body's endurance to concentrate on improving his left hand.

No matter how much Bai Shi strengthens his physique in the future, it cannot change the fact that 90% of the effect of the "Evolution Liquid" is concentrated on his left arm.

Secondly, the muscles in his left arm were twisted. If he showed it to others like this, ordinary people would lose their minds. And for the time being, Shiraishi's left arm couldn't really use much strength, so he put on a bandage and put it on a sling.

Xiao Ai estimated that after a while, Shiraishi's body would adapt...

It was indeed as Ai had expected before, the effect of Shiraishi's use of the "Evolution Fluid" was fundamentally improved compared to those of the Black Organization, and it was no longer a simple "the strong get stronger".

Even if Bai Shi went through the normal evolution process, it would still take some time, not to mention that he was "seeking death" and the effect was concentrated on his left arm...

The above "side effects" are Xiaoai's inferences after sampling and observation.

And Shiraishi himself actually has an evaluation!
Although Shiraishi doesn't quite understand Ai's scientific theories, but...

Bai Shi’s attribute panel also has direct changes!
Just like the effects of [Witch's Suit] and [Dark Star] are displayed in the attributes, [Evolution Fluid] is not an item, but its effects are also continuously displayed...

【Evolution Essence: The body is blessed with scientific transformation and further evolves.

Whole body effect: Defense effect is improved, muscle structure is changed, and a certain degree of impact force can be absorbed.

Left Hand Effect: Gain "God's Left Hand". 】

[God's Left Hand (1.03%...1.04%... sealed): Your left hand possesses power that transcends the rules.

Fighting against physics: The muscle structure can buffer force beyond the theoretical limit and make the impact disappear.

Against the Supernatural: Can offset supernatural powers weaker than Lv11, and has a decreasing weakening effect on supernatural powers of Lv11 and above.

(Because the physical fitness is lower than Lv11, it will take some time to coordinate.)]

……

Not only does the "Evolution Fluid" itself provide Bai Shi with a stable special ability, but...

The left hand, where the effect is concentrated, also activates an additional special ability!
Absorbing impact forces that defy the laws of physics...

Simply put, in the past, when Shiraishi was hit by a car, even if the collision was not serious enough to hurt him, he would inevitably be knocked down or sent flying. After all, his center of gravity is balanced and the friction between his feet and the ground is limited. No matter how "strong" Shiraishi was, he could not avoid falling down or flying away.

But now if you use your left hand to block, you can directly make part of the impact force disappear out of thin air - from a mechanics point of view, this has violated the laws of nature.

Although Shiraishi is still unsure how much can disappear, maybe he can stop the car with one hand...

It is still "sealed" at the moment, but the bar keeps reading. Bai Shi estimates that this should be the time it takes for his left hand to recover!
Now it seems that it will take about two months - the reason is that Bai Shi's physical condition is too poor...

Although this reason seems a bit unbelievable when applied to Bai Shi, it is relative. Compared with the effect of "God's Left Hand", Bai Shi's physique needs some time to adapt.

Of course, if you want to complete the adaptation stage immediately, there is a faster way - upgrade to Lv.11!

Since a "trial" half a year ago, the points required for Shiraishi's [Physique] upgrade have been reduced from one million to more than 950,000 - this is because Shiraishi himself has become stronger.

And Shiraishi feels that this is also related to the previous "trial".

Even though it’s only a discount of less than 5%, the discounts you got from previous upgrades were far less than that!
Shiraishi speculated that after the "trial", the body would adapt to some of the upgraded effects...

Indeed, after that, Shiraishi developed many new abilities, and his [physique] also underwent further changes compared to the previous "limit", which to a certain extent confirmed Shiraishi's speculation.

This is something that has never happened before the “trial”!

When Bai Shi was eighteen years old, his [Physique] was already at Level 10, and he was not given any "discount".

Calculated in this way, the 10% consumption during the trial period is not too bad - it is equivalent to a lump sum deposit.

Moreover, during the last "trial", most of the time was spent on "self-healing" and Shiraishi was in a coma.

If you try it completely and soberly for 24 hours, maybe the "discount" will be even higher...

……

Of course, before today, "promotion to Lv11" was still a method that Bai Shi didn't dare to think of. After all, even for a "trial", it would require a full points, and Bai Shi had not saved enough points in the past six months!

But at 7:55 in the morning, when Shiraishi sat in his office chair on time...he found a solution!

[Achieve the "Transfer (Akasaka Maki)" achievement...]

[Achieve the "Transfer (Kenmochi Kanichi)" achievement...]

[Achieve the "Transfer (Aoki Shin)" achievement...]

……

It was officially Monday working hours, and Bai Shi instantly received nearly a hundred points reminders!
Bai Shi's points suddenly jumped to 100,000 - back to the time before he could defeat a hundred people alone in the underground garage.

Most of them came from transfers of the top 30 or so, because these are "clearly people moving to higher positions" and their subsequent police rank upgrades are foreseeable. Another 40% to 50% were transfers that were "horizontal but with better prospects" and the rewards were not bad either.

As for the few regular transfers, it can only be said that it is better than nothing. However, because there are many opportunities for meritorious service in the Rice Flower Agency, ordinary transfers can often add several hundred points...

All of a sudden, Bai Shi's points became abundant.

The one million that would be needed for an official promotion was indeed still a long way off, but it was more than enough for another “trial”.

Shiraishi even had the urge to "hurry up and have an explosion so I can try it"...

However, thinking that he was in Mihua, Shiraishi immediately shook his head and threw away this idea - it was not a good idea to dwell on it.

at this time……

"Hmm?" Bai Shi suddenly heard the sound of a helicopter.

Bai Shi stuck his head out of the window and looked up in confusion.

But I didn't see anything, but from the sound, I heard that a helicopter landed on the helipad on the roof.

Shiraishi was puzzled and called the General Affairs Division...

"What's going on? Someone applied to use a helicopter today?" Shiraishi asked directly.

"Ah... Chief, we just received a notice that someone has applied for an air route and police station landing. It seems to be... a detective from the Criminal Division, and he said... he is here to work." The person who answered the phone in the General Affairs Division also stuttered.

Shiraishi:……

"Okay, I got it." Bai Shi rubbed his eyebrows and hung up the phone.

Needless to say, it must be Kobe Miwako!

Apart from her, no one else would have a private helicopter - Kobe Daisuke had some work to do with Interpol and would not report until next Monday.

Of course, the one who is more troublesome than Bai Shi is Hui Gu.

His former partner, the narcissist, had gone off happily to look for Tianshuyou, and Huitani was already annoyed about "the young lady being late on her first day at work."

just now……

The young lady was not late, but Huigu was even more angry!

Huigu was already worried that this rich young lady would get special treatment at work, and he was planning to give her a good scolding for being late on her first day at work. If she dared to object, he would go to the director to complain - he couldn't lead this person!

who knows……

Now it’s even more special!

Huigu was holding a watch, waiting at the entrance of the police station, ready to catch her and reveal herself. He even thought that if she drove a luxury car, he could take advantage of it to make trouble. But...

They went straight upstairs!

This made Huigu hold his breath, but he couldn't make any sound...

At eight o'clock, the police officers newly assigned to the Beihua Police Department began to be assigned to various departments - in fact, it had already been decided, and everyone knew where they would be assigned, it was just a matter of going through the process.

This process lasted until after nine o'clock. After each department gave a speech to the new recruits, at ten-thirty in the morning, everyone came to the auditorium to receive a speech from the director.

Although we are all police officers, but...

Many of them saw Shiraishi for the first time!
Even the police officers were a little excited when they saw the legendary "Chief Mihua" walk onto the stage. In short, it was... so big.

"Quiet! You are police officers too, how can you be so messy?" Deputy Director Murasakibara said with a stern face, trying to maintain order on the side.

After Shiraishi walked onto the stage, he smiled at everyone - first showing his kindness to the new police officers.

Later, from Shiraishi's perspective, the attributes of the new police officers gradually emerged, filling his field of vision, as if he had used too many cheats and was about to get stuck...

Seeing everyone's average level, Bai Shi smiled more sincerely.

"First of all, welcome everyone to the Beika Police Station. I hope that everyone can achieve personal improvement while protecting the peace and tranquility of Beika Town..." Shiraishi encouraged everyone first.

Because the Mihua Police Station has become a "nest of officials" this year, the new police officers assigned to the Mihua Police Station are indeed full of enthusiasm, and Shiraishi's reputation for "courage to recommend" has gradually spread.

Then of course Shiraishi also has to talk about the serious situation in Beika Town - as police officers, their main responsibility here is certainly not to "get promoted"!
The new police officers are also mentally prepared for this...

After all, there was a sign hanging in front of the police station - [It has been 1 day since the last murder in Beika Town... Please don't let the number go to zero because of you!] - Anyone who saw this on their first day at work would be startled.

but……

As if he was worried that everyone was not mentally prepared enough and that Shiraishi's words were not vivid enough, when Shiraishi was halfway through his speech, Section Chief Marubi came forward with a crouched waist and handed Shiraishi a note.

After taking a look, Bai Shi smiled and said, "See, the General Office's Investigation Division needs our support... Well, it's just that a person who has been under long-term surveillance has disappeared. This is not a big deal for Mihua. The Criminal Division will handle it. Let's continue..."

In response to Souichi's request for help, Shiraishi remained relatively calm - wasn't it just that someone had gone missing in Beika Town?

but……

Just when Shiraishi was talking about the third part, about being friendly to the people of Beika Town and establishing an excellent image for the police station...

Yuanwei came up anxiously and handed over the note.

Shiraishi looked at it again and sighed, "Well, there was an explosion at the port just now. The people from the Criminal Division should go back to respond first!"

Because we just assigned people to support Souichi, the Criminal Division may not have enough people...

What Shiraishi didn't say was that the missing person was the key suspect in the sensational 500 million robbery twenty years ago, and the person who was killed in the explosion at the port was the son of the former Finance Minister.

Beika Town has already started to strengthen the new police officers...
