A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 967 A New Strength Enhancement Plan
Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Misaki Shokuhou disregarded the hardship and personally launched an investigation. Through her visits and investigations, she discovered that the root cause of this sudden new wave of "idol worship" actually lay with the parents of the students at Gakusha-no-en.

Tokiwadai Middle School is known as a "noble girls' school," and the other four schools in Academy City are similar in nature. The students here are generally from wealthy or noble families, or are "new elites of Academy City" who are high-level ability users.

Therefore, to a large extent, the influence of Academy Garden can extend beyond Academy City.

It's important to understand that information spreads incredibly quickly in modern society. Even though Academy City implements strict information and intelligence controls, the young ladies of the Academy Garden and their families naturally have plenty of ways to circumvent these restrictions.

Ultimately, the "country within a country" of the school dormitories exists, to a large extent, for this kind of convenience.

In addition, yesterday's major riots did indeed affect areas outside Academy City, making it difficult to suppress the news.

This led to many people and forces outside Academy City hearing the name "Lin Wuming" for the first time during this incident, realizing that such a "supernova" had suddenly risen within Academy City.

Despite his young age, he has extraordinary connections and influence, controlling both the legitimate and criminal worlds, unifying numerous violent organizations, and even launching a "Great Purge" within Academy City.

There are also rumors that he is the youngest member of the board of directors and has the title of "vice chairman," making him the number two person in Academy City!

Unlike Lin Wuming's "clear understanding," for the vast majority of people in this world, "magic" is still a secret that is not openly acknowledged; even if people know about the "scientific power" of "superpowers," those who have not lived in Academy City cannot intuitively understand the true power of "superpowers."

Even most superpowered individuals themselves lack a real sense of just how powerful Level 5 is until they have seen it with their own eyes.

This resulted in people outside Academy City being almost completely indifferent to "Lin Wuming, a Level 5 with incomplete Nen abilities," and even less so to his series of brilliant achievements. From the bottom of their hearts, they didn't think that Level 5 was really that powerful.

On the contrary, it was only after Lin Wuming had gained some "power" this time that he truly came into their view.

From the perspective of those political and business elites who already hold power outside Academy City, Lin Wuming, such a promising and powerful figure, is someone they should naturally win over as soon as possible; at the very least, they should make contact with him and show some goodwill—investing in advance is never a bad thing.

At this moment, her daughter, who is studying in Academy City, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to carry out this mission...

Thus, this wave of strange "competitors" suddenly appeared. Speechless, Misaki Shokuhou also felt alarmed and became more vigilant.

Continuing to keep their distance from Lin Wuming and wage a "cold war" is clearly unwise—besides, there are always messy things disrupting their plans, so their so-called "cold war" never really cools down.

After all, whenever something happens, they will definitely have to meet up with Lin Wuming to deal with it together.

In this situation, the most important thing is to strengthen your presence around Lin Wuming and drive away all the irrelevant people.

It was precisely because of this reason, coupled with Dr. Sakurai's persuasion and guidance, that Tomi, the tiger bee, finally broke free from her rut and decided to return to her home in Yomi River.

Moreover, this afternoon, Misaki Shokuhou, Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, and others will also reunite here after a long time.

Of course, they didn't let Lin Wuming know about these behind-the-scenes maneuvers.

Looking at Lin Wuming, who seemed carefree and even a little lost in thought, Tiger Bee Honey suddenly asked, "Wuming, what are you thinking about?"

"The afternoon's debriefing meeting," Lin Wuming stated bluntly, "will also include... a plan to further enhance our strength." "We need to enhance our strength?" Huang Quanchuan Aisui and Sakurai Ayumi both looked over with helpless expressions.

In the current situation, this is clearly not the most appropriate answer—even if it is the truth.

Even if Misaki Shokuhou, who can read minds, wasn't there, a little white lie would make the girl even more satisfied, right?
and……

"Nameless, you're already Level 5, right?" Huang Quanchuan asked. "Do you want to advance to Level 6, an absolute ability user?"

“No,” Lin Wuming shook his head, “at least not yet. There are many different aspects to improving one’s strength…”

Just as he was about to explain in more detail, seeing the three women in front of him—two adults and one child—Lin Wuming finally realized that now was not the right time to talk about this topic.

"Don't worry about it, forget what I just said." Lin Wuming coughed. "It's just my idea... By the way, I'm going to check on the situation in the kitchen."

After saying that, Lin Wuming manipulated the chair to float towards the kitchen.

Although he wasn't in the kitchen, Lin Wuming's Nen ability still dominated the entire kitchen, remotely preparing lunch.

— Lin Wuming is now capable of doing this; even going downstairs to pick up a package during this process will not affect the operations in the kitchen.

It's like leaving a telekinetic clone in the kitchen—this is precisely the specific way Lin Wuming plans to improve his strength.

As Lin Wuming just said, the so-called "strength" also has different aspects.

In terms of individual combat ability, Lin Wuming has now reached a bottleneck. Unless his "Nen ability" itself advances to level 5, it will be difficult for him to make any significant improvement.

Therefore, he does not intend to continue to fight this issue to the bitter end.

Moreover, Lin Wuming even defeated the water behind him—despite the cooperation of others—so it can be said that in most cases, his combat power was even excessive.

What truly needs improvement is the way we handle "low-level combat."

How to deal with enemies of low quality but large number, spread across different areas—that was the problem Lin Wuming wanted to solve.

That's right, this is Lin Wuming's reflection on yesterday's "major riot".

Ultimately, Lin Wuming still harbored resentment about not being able to personally take action.

Compared to the vague and ethereal concept of "power," Lin Wuming has more faith in his own "strength."

Moreover, this may sound a bit harsh, but the truth is that Lin Wuming fundamentally distrusts others.
