Tokyo Detective

Chapter 471 New 8-Star Reward

"Senpai, Senpai, Naoki."

Fujiwara Mai's shouts continued, her face filled with anxiety, until a familiar figure emerged from the sea not far away, like a fish that had been blown up by a torpedo.

Without a word, Fujiwara Mai took off her coat and jumped into the sea, a distance of 20 meters, to the astonishment of her colleagues.

"Boom"

Mai Fujiwara's clumsy dive splashed a lot of water as she struggled to swim toward the floating man. Her swimming skills had always been poor because of her large breasts.

But now I can't control my swimming skills, nor can I control the rough seas today.

Soon, Fujiwara Mai, in an unorthodox posture, supported Hanyu Naoki, letting his head rest on her ample bosom, his nose pointing upwards so he could breathe.

"Don't be afraid, senior. I'll save you. Please, nothing bad will happen to you!"

Naoki Hanyu, who had originally planned to pretend to be rescued, fell silent. His apprentice's panicked and incoherent ramblings forced him to open his eyes and turn to look at the woman whose expression had shifted from worry to joy.

"Although it was a bit reckless, but..."

Before Naoki Hanyu could finish speaking, Mai Fujiwara had already embraced him and offered her red lips.

They were very enthusiastic, but still a bit awkward.

Naoki Hanyu did not refuse, but instead hugged the policewoman's tight back armor to help her enter a state of ecstasy, allowing her to vent her joy at having regained what she had lost.

Fortunately, it was pitch black with only a little moonlight, so the people on the bridge couldn't see the master and disciple kissing passionately in the sea.

"Alright, I'm seriously injured, I can't keep going like this, you little lecher."

"I'm just a little happy."

Fujiwara Mai, with a hint of shyness on her face, looked as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, her whole body soaked by the seawater.

Naoki Hanyu patted the other person's back armor.

"Let's get ashore."

"Ah."

As soon as Naoki Hanyu and his companion reached the shore, a group of police officers and support personnel were already waiting, and there were even reporters who happened to be passing by, excited to have gotten the first big news.

The newly arrived Minister of Public Security, Yukiko Muromachi, couldn't help but worry when she saw Naoki Hanyu in such a disheveled state, but she couldn't show it in front of her colleagues, as her subordinates had brought rocket launchers.

"Naoki, are you alright?"

"It's alright, just a minor injury from the explosion, I'll be fine in a couple of days."

"Where is that terrorist who called himself 'Heavenly Punishment'?"

Naoki Hanyu looked around at everyone; this question concerned everyone as well.

"He died. He lost the life-or-death battle and wanted to self-destruct to take me with him, but unfortunately he couldn't do it."

"hiss"

Those who had just learned of the YMCA's attack on the Special Investigation Department gasped in shock. Had the YMCA president really fallen from grace?

During this period, he acted like a god of war, killing whoever he wanted and destroying warships at will, leaving America and Neon helpless against him. However, he ultimately fell into the hands of a policeman.

As Naoki Hanyu got into the police car to leave, many reporters who had rushed over were already taking pictures of the self-directed and self-acted person with spotlights. Today's news was destined to shock Japan, and even the world.

The leader of a world-class terrorist organization is dead.
.
At 10 p.m., the Japanese people who were preparing to go to sleep suddenly saw a temporary news broadcast on their televisions, and it wasn't just one channel; it was being broadcast by six major television stations, and even local television stations.

"Less than two hours after the terrorist organization, the Youth Salvation Society, issued a warning of divine punishment, it launched a terrorist attack. At 8:40 a.m., the 'Earth Destroyer,' whom the Youth Salvation Society called the 'Combat Minister,' attacked the headquarters of the Tokyo Special Investigation Department. The Special Investigation Department Minister, Ryu Shirakawa, and five prosecutors were brutally murdered, and the Earth Destroyer calmly left."

"At 9:10 AM, YMCA President Tenchu ​​launched an attack on Criminal Investigation Department Chief Hanyu Naoki on Konan 4-chome Road in Minato Ward. Both sides used machine guns and grenade launchers, exchanging fire before engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Ultimately, Tenchu ​​was no match for Hanyu Naoki and chose to self-destruct in the sea in an attempt to pull his enemy up. Fortunately, Chief Hanyu was unharmed. Please watch the video."

The next second, a battle video directed and acted by Naoki Hanyu was broadcast. The scene, which only appears in special effects blockbusters, shocked many people, especially the bridge collapsing at the end.

The internet erupted in a frenzy, with heated debates, some supporting Naoki Hanyu and others even supporting Tianzhu (a derogatory term for Naoki Hanyu).

"That's great. Naoki Hanyu truly lives up to his reputation as the 'Light of Japan.' Even the notorious leader of a terrorist organization died at his hands."

"Yes, for the past few months I thought terrorists were going to dominate the country, since the government has been unable to do anything about them and can only passively take the hits."

"He didn't deserve to die even if he was punished by heaven; he just wanted Japan to become a better place."

"Yes, whether Tenchu ​​advocates for food or elections, even if it's about eliminating America's CIA, it's for the good of Japan. Naoki Hanyu shouldn't have killed him."

"Are you kidding me, upstairs? It was Tenchu ​​who self-destructed to take others down with him. How can you say that Naoki Yuzuru killed him?"

"I think Naoki Hanyu could definitely save him if he wanted to."

"You're fucking idiot! Look at you, you're not even speaking human language."

Just as the debate raged online, a new video released by the YMCA once again set the trend.

The video still features the same handsome spokesperson, with Di Mie standing next to him in 3-meter-tall powered armor.

"We, the Youth Association, understand everything Tenchu ​​has sacrificed. He chose to engage in a glorious duel with Naoki Hanyu, just as he said, the winner lives and the loser dies there. The Youth Association hereby declares that Naoki Hanyu has escaped Tenchu ​​this time. If he commits another crime in the future, the new chairman, Tenchu, will once again bring the sinner to Tenchu."

The 3-meter-tall Earth Destroyer stepped forward, making everyone watching the video understand that Heavenly Punishment was just a title, and any guild leader would inherit the title of Heavenly Punishment, hence the term "Second Generation" appeared on the internet.
.
In the hospital operating room, Naoki Hanyu was lying on the operating table scrolling through his phone when a system notification in his mind startled him.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained an 8-star Sin reward.]

Almost a month has passed, and he had almost forgotten that he still had an 8-star sin reward.

Suddenly, he was slapped on the back, causing him to wince in pain; the wound felt like it was about to burst open.

"Mitsuha, what are you doing? That hurts."

"We're performing surgery to remove the fragments, and you still dare to move?"

Jingu Mitsuha glared fiercely at the man. She was almost asleep when he called her to perform surgery, and this man was uncooperative, constantly scrolling on his phone, saying he was too bored to play on his phone. It was an insult to her profession as a doctor.

What can Naoki Hanyu do? He's acting and he's injured, so of course he's going to get injured. It's impossible for everyone else to self-destruct while he has no metal fragments left in his body, so he can only rely on someone to help remove the film. Mitsuha Jingu is practically becoming his personal doctor.

"I won't move or check my phone, you can continue with your work."

Seeing that the other party was being honest, Jingu Mitsuha was no longer angry. She could only concentrate on using the scalpel to cut through the skin and muscles that were as hard as metal. Her hand muscles were so tired that they almost cramped up, and sweat dripped down her glistening skin. If it were an ordinary doctor, they would probably have to use an electric one.

Naoki Hanyu closed his eyes to rest and then opened the 8-star reward.

[Ding! Open the 8-star reward to obtain 51% of Nago Shipyard shares, worth 1000 billion Neon Coins (cannot be sold or gifted)]

This century-old medium-sized shipyard, located in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, primarily manufactures bulk carriers, energy transport ships, and special-purpose vessels. It also undertakes the construction of auxiliary vessels for the Maritime Self-Defense Force. Its annual delivery volume is 50 vessels, and the shipyard maintains a fleet of 10 ocean-going transport ships.

Shipyard?
Ocean shipping fleet?

Shouldn't the Nago Shipyard be located in Nagoya? Why is it in Kamakura?

Naoki Hanyu was genuinely unfamiliar with shipyards and shipping companies. He only knew a few major domestic shipping companies: Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, and Ocean Link. As for shipyards, he only knew Mitsui, Ocean Link, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, many of which could also build warships.

I really don't know any medium-sized shipbuilding companies with a market value of around 1000 billion to 10000 trillion yuan, let alone companies that both build ships and engage in shipping.

Naoki Hanyu took out his phone to check something, which made one of the female doctors who performed his surgery very unhappy.

"You're still looking?"

"I'm on official business, Mitsuha. Do you know Nago Shipyard?"

Jingu Mitsuha stopped what she was doing.

"Nago Shipyard, it should be Nagoya, no, I've heard that name before, it seems to be a shipyard in Kanagawa Prefecture, why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing, just that we own a small share in the shipyard."

Jingu Mitsuha wanted to talk more, but the muscle that had just been cut was slowly healing, so she could only focus her attention back on the surgery, while secretly complaining again.

I will never perform surgery on this person again. They've been cutting for hours and it's still not finished. This guy could have been treated very roughly.

Ignoring someone's complaints, Naoki Hanyu opened his phone and searched for Nago Shipyard. Soon, he felt terrible because it was yet another shipyard that was having problems.

Nago Shipyard, which had a market value of 5000 billion yen two years ago, was among the top-tier shipyards in Japan. However, it is now far less valuable than before, with a market value of only around 2000 billion yen.

There are 5 dry docks, which can build 5 ships at the same time.

(Dry docks allow ships to enter and exit by filling and draining water. After the water is drained, the dry bottom of the dock can be used for maintenance work. It is the most widely used type of dock in the world. In addition to dry docks, there are also water-filled docks and floating docks.)
Two years ago, the shipyard had orders for 50 ships a year, but now it has fewer than 10 orders a year, and it looks like it might go bankrupt.

The global shipbuilding industry is no longer what it was in the last century. Japan was once the world's largest shipbuilding country, with a market share of nearly half of the global market at its peak. However, Japan's market share has now fallen to below 3%.

There are two countries that have surpassed Japan. The first is South Korea, which began to catch up in the 80s and has already occupied 25% of the market share. As for the shipbuilding market, it is the mysterious Eastern power that dominates the market.

(Balat, guess if it's me?)
As for America, the former shipbuilding giant, it only accounts for one percent of the global market. Not to mention civilian ships, even its warship manufacturing is getting worse and worse. Its latest aircraft carrier has been under construction for 11 years and is still not completed. I heard that it will be delayed for another 4 years, which shows whether it can make it work or not.

According to online comments, the problem with Nago Shipyard is simple, and it's also the reason why 30 medium-sized shipyards in Japan have gone bankrupt since the 90s.

Our costs are higher than our competitors, and our technology is lower.

For example, South Korea had already developed LNG dual-fuel engine technology 10 years ago, while Japan only caught up in 2020.

The level of automation is also an issue. In major Eastern countries and South Korea, the adoption rate of robotic welding in shipyards is over 60%, while in Japan it is only 20%.

Nago Shipyard has lost out to its competitors in the high-value-added ship type competition. If it continues to maintain the same status quo, it will go bankrupt sooner or later. It is said online that Nago Shipyard invested a lot of money in the research and development of new engines, but the research institute was blown up. The cause of the explosion is unknown, which is why its market value plummeted.

Without new technologies, there is no competitiveness; without competitiveness, there are no orders.

Naoki Hanyu was a bit overwhelmed by the description. He wasn't worried about Tenyu Kirin Pharmaceutical Company because of Long Gao's inheritance, but he really didn't understand shipping.

Forget it, we'll see. Even if we lose everything, it's fine. He doesn't care about a mere 1000 billion. Well, it's not that he doesn't care, but it's not enough to cause serious damage.

Naoki Hanyu continues to open 8-star skill chests.

[Ding! Acquired S-rank skill: Adaptive Devouring Physique.]

What the hell?
A phagocytic constitution?

[Adaptive phagocytosis: The body generates specialized immune phagocytes with extremely keen "non-self" recognition capabilities. They can sense the unique physicochemical properties of foreign substances.]

These cells rapidly migrate and envelop the foreign object, forming giant "foreign object giant cells." Their cell membranes secrete potent digestive enzymes and acids to dissolve the foreign object; for example, in the process of digesting metals, the metal oxide layer is destroyed and metal ions are dissolved. These ions are then pumped out of the cell into the bloodstream via metal ion transport proteins, and transported to the liver and kidneys for metabolism and excretion. [Strength +10, Endurance +10, Agility +10, Spirit +10]

【Strength: 184】

[Endurance: 205]

[Agility: 157]

【Spirit: 164】

As Hanyu Naoki looked at the skill description, he couldn't help but glance at the woman who had performed the surgery on him. The skill description was like an evolved version of phagocytes; it could not only devour germs and problematic cells but also break down all foreign objects in the body. It was truly terrifying.

Although he possesses other physical abilities that grant him immunity to germs and problematic cells, the effect of consuming metal is incredible. This means that even if he is hit by hundreds of bullets in the future, there will be no impact even without surgery, as phagocytes will break down the bullets and expel them from his bloodstream.

Although it may not seem to increase his strength, it makes him tankier.

Shortly after, Mitsuha Jingu took out the last fragment, but she was stunned when she saw the corroded surface of the fragment.

what's the situation?
How can high-strength metal fragments corrode?
Jingu Mitsuha put down the fragments, intending to ask someone a question, but seeing that Hanyu Naoki was sleeping, she decided not to disturb him. Looking at his handsome face, Jingu Mitsuha leaned down and kissed his lips.

"Be careful from now on, my little man."

The operating room door was pushed open, and Mitsuha Jingu let the nurses waiting outside come in to pack her things while she went to wash up.

After Naoki Hanyu woke up and changed his clothes, Mitsuha Jingu also changed back into casual clothes and waited.

"Master Yuzuru, you're too slow. I'm waiting for you to go get some late-night snacks together."

Naoki Hanyu loosened his muscles and looked out at the still pitch-black night sky. It was only 4 a.m., there was no time for a midnight snack.

"How about I come to your place? I'll cook for you myself."

Jingu Mitsuha naturally took the man's arm.

"You said it, I have a lot I want to eat."

"Spare me, your family doesn't have much material."

"Who says there isn't? You'll be absolutely shocked when you see it."

While Naoki Hanyu was accompanied by a beautiful woman, the instigator of the conflict, interim Prime Minister Ryota Morinaga, was having a hard time.

His sharpest claws were pulled out by the YMCA, and that damned YMCA's defeat at the hands of Naoki Hanyu further enhanced that damned policeman's reputation.

Ryota Morinaga opened a Japanese social media app and saw that he had followed Naoki Hanyu. Naoki Hanyu's follower count had increased from 1000 million to 1200 million, gaining 200 million followers in just one night. What does that mean?

If this guy were to stand up and tell the whole nation that he supports the Democratic Party (the opposition party), how would his Justice Party be able to function?

Anxiety caused Morinaga Ryota to start biting his fingers.

"How to do how to do?"

Just then, the assistant pushed the door open and came in, holding a phone in his hand.

"Prime Minister, someone is looking for you."

"Who is looking for me?"

"The director of the CIA."

Ryota Morinaga narrowed his eyes. Why would America's CIA director approach him with the election just around the corner? According to usual practice, they would wait until after the election to place their bets.
