Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Zhang Shan rolled his eyes and retorted, "Why do you care what others do? As long as we can use it, that's all that matters!"

“That makes sense…” Mu Tiancai nodded. He had indeed been thinking only about how to mass-produce this thing and had gone astray.

In the following days, the two worked tirelessly in the laboratory, listing out all the possible combinations of Uchiha genes.

With their combined efforts, they successfully unlocked their first eye technique, Amaterasu!

This is the easiest eye technique to awaken in the Kaleidoscope. As long as you add killing intent when combining it, there is an 80% chance of awakening Amaterasu. The remaining 20% ​​chance is to awaken some useless physical attacks, such as summoning a few iron rods to throw, which are pure waste.

At this moment, Zhang Shan connected his consciousness with that of the white mouse, and then had Mu Tiancai scare the white mouse with a knife.

As the fear in the white mouse's heart was transmitted to his mind, Zhang Shan's kaleidoscope changed instantly, and a new pupil technique was unlocked!

"So? What abilities did you unlock?" Mu Tiancai asked.

"Emmm, not what I want." Zhang Shan shook his head, and under Mu Tiancai's expectant gaze, he activated his newly acquired ability.

Suddenly, Zhang Shan's body grew to about ten meters in size.

This is not his limit, but the limit of the laboratory.

"Get bigger?!"

"Hmm, I'm afraid this little mouse was thinking about becoming as big as us, or even bigger, and then it awakened this ability," Zhang Shan said thoughtfully.

"If that's the case, then the power of the Sharingan has a bit of a mystical element to it, and my previous assumptions probably have to be overturned."

The two were silent for a moment, then Zhang Shan spoke again: "Since the mice don't work, let's use other animals for the experiment. Surely one of them will meet my requirements!"

"Okay! I'll go catch some in a bit and try to succeed as soon as possible!"

As Zhang Shan left the lab, something suddenly came to mind.

"Does this new ability to grow larger count as a physical ability?"

Everything... is over now~

Chapter 71 Sonoko? Girlfriend? Wife!

This is Teitan High School, a famous high school in Beika Town.

At this moment, in Class B of the second year at Teitan High School, as the bell rang, the girls in the classroom, full of youthful energy, stretched their waists, revealing alluring curves.

"Shinichi! Are you free tomorrow night?" Ran Mouri approached Shinichi Kudo's desk with a big smile, looking at the boy with expectant eyes.

"I should be free tomorrow, right?" Shinichi replied after thinking for a moment.

"Great! Let's go to the pedestrian street tomorrow night!"

"Pedestrian street?" Shinichi said with a look of resistance, "What's so great about that place? It's just full of people..."

As he spoke, Shinichi suddenly noticed Ran Mouri's gloomy face, and instantly felt the hairs on his body stand on end, a chill running down his spine. He quickly changed his tune, saying, "Haha! I think that's a pretty good suggestion! Okay! I'll be waiting for you at my doorstep tomorrow night!"

Ran Mouri's expression brightened, and she smiled warmly again, saying, "It's settled then! Don't be late tomorrow night!"

As the two men were talking, two sneaky guys were watching them from behind.

"That Xiaolan is doing something stupid again, throwing money away for me," Zhang Shan muttered, squinting.

"Yeah, that bastard Shinichi even looked unwilling. He really doesn't know what's good for him!" Sonoko narrowed her eyes. Although she was very dissatisfied with her best friend's sycophantic behavior, what annoyed her even more was Shinichi's indifference.

Ran's feelings for Shinichi are so obvious, yet no one seems to realize she likes him. Shinichi, however, remains indifferent, even appearing somewhat impatient. She's genuinely upset for her best friend! Why would someone who's not interested in you go out of their way to get close to you?!

Thinking of this, Sonoko glanced at Zhang Shan beside her and suddenly remembered that some people seemed to have been throwing themselves at her at the beginning. Wasn't she just like that annoying guy back then?!

"No, no, no! I didn't have any thoughts like that back then! It's all because Zhang Shan is too precocious! He actually made a move on me when I was only in junior high school, it's really... hehe, kind of lucky~"

Sonoko was chuckling to herself. Zhang Shan looked at Shinichi and Ran, and shook his head regretfully, saying, "I, Zhang Shan, strongly condemn Shinichi, who flirts with people and then doesn't take responsibility!"

"What do you mean by flirting and then not taking responsibility?" Sonoko looked at Zhang Shan in confusion.

Because of the arrival of the time traveler Zhang Shan, Sonoko was busy with her sweet romance every day and had no time to pay attention to Shinichi and Ran's relationship. Naturally, she didn't encourage Ran to confess to Shinichi as she did in the original story.

"Have you forgotten? Shinichi used to flirt with Ran all the time, otherwise why would Ran be so obsessed with him now?" Zhang Shan said, "Remember when we played hide-and-seek as kids, and Ran got stuck under the stage?"

Sonoko tried hard to recall, and then the image of herself and Zhang Shan hiding in the locker room wardrobe together appeared in her mind. Even though they were just children at the time, the wardrobe was so small that the two of them were almost touching.

I didn't think much of it before. But thinking about it now, it really makes me blush!

"Yuanzi? Girlfriend? Wife!" Zhang Shan waved his hand twice in front of Yuanzi's eyes, pulling the absent-minded Yuanzi back to reality.

"Huh? What's wrong? Tell me, I'm listening!" Sonoko quickly composed herself, feeling her heart racing and her face flushing. She silently cursed to herself, "Now that I think about it, was Zhang Shan already watching me all along? What a bad guy~~"

Zhang Shan didn't pay much attention to the strangeness in the garden. He continued, "It was that time we were playing hide-and-seek. We spent the whole afternoon looking for Xiao Lan, but we couldn't find her. Finally, when I went to buy water, you had Xin Yi find her."

Sonoko then recalled the part about Ran and nodded, saying, "Now that you mention it, I remember. Ran seemed to have cried back then."

"So, when Ran was at her most helpless, Shinichi shone into her world like a ray of light. I could never learn that kind of flirting technique~" Zhang Shan shook his head slightly: "In the end, this guy doesn't take any responsibility after flirting, which has led to Ran now having to win Shinichi over instead~"

Just then, Sonoko suddenly changed her expression and teased, "What? Are you envious, San-kun? How about I try to pursue you instead? Or, how about I become really helpless sometime, and you come to my rescue? So I can completely fall for you?"

Faced with Sonoko's sudden teasing, Zhang Shan's lips curled up slightly, and he pinched Sonoko's chin, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. I swear on all my muscles, I will never let you be in danger in this lifetime!"

The sudden ambiguity left the surrounding classmates feeling helpless. As the two's lips drew closer and closer, Xiaolan turned around and coughed loudly, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between them.

"Hey you two, could you please be mindful of the occasion? This is a classroom!" Ran looked at the two with a resentful expression. Ever since middle school, she had been forced to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) every day, which was why she repeatedly confessed to Shinichi in an attempt to escape this fate.

But I never expected that we'd still be eating this dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) now!

Three years! Do you know how I've spent these past three years?

Zhang Shan certainly didn't know how Xiao Lan was doing; in any case, he was living a very happy and sweet life!

But the thought of tomorrow night made Ran's face flush with a girlish pink, and she said to Sonoko, "Sonoko! Come to the coffee shop downstairs from my house tonight, I have something important to discuss!"

Then he said to Zhang Shan, "Zhang Sang probably won't come, right? After all, it's our girls' private time!"

Waving his hand dismissively, Zhang Shan said, "I'm working out at a nearby gym tonight. Give me a call when you're done, and I'll come pick Yuanzi up."

Suddenly bombarded with another dose of PDA, Ran rolled her eyes and said to Sonoko wistfully, "How wonderful, your patriarch~"

Sonoko wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she smiled happily and said, "Okay, keep an eye on your phone tonight!"

Watching Ran and Sonoko leave the classroom hand in hand, Zhang Shan turned around and came over to Shinichi, winking at him and saying, "Shinichi! When are you planning to accept Ran's confession?"

"What?! What confession? Don't talk nonsense!"

Shinichi, who was still relieved that Ran was finally not bothering him and had taken out a mystery novel to read, panicked as soon as he heard Zhang Shan's words, as if he had been caught red-handed!

"Alright, we've known each other for over ten years. Do you think I don't know what's going on between you two?" Zhang Shan said with exasperation, "Xiao Lan is definitely planning to confess to you tomorrow night. You'd better not get entangled in those inexplicable cases. Even if that useless police officer calls you, you'd better turn him down. Don't let unimportant people disturb the most important moment of your life!"

That's right, Zhang Shan always called Officer Mumu a useless officer.

If he remembered correctly, ever since he met Shinichi and his friends when he was seven, he had frequently seen news reports in the newspapers about Shinichi's father, Yusaku Kudo, helping the police solve cases. There was basically one every two days, ranging from solving murder cases to deducing the whereabouts of robbers. In short, Yusaku was extremely famous in the world! People even thought that detectives were much more reliable than the Japanese police!

As Shinichi grew up, Yusaku retired to become a novelist, and the task of helping the police solve cases naturally fell to Shinichi. He was invited to the crime scene by the police every few days.

Yes, unlike those characters in the story who just happened to be present, Shinichi is always called in by the police!

Because the police are truly incompetent! They really can't solve cases!

Chapter 72 A Chance Glance

Shinichi scratched his head awkwardly. Although he also had some feelings for Ran, he felt that it was friendship. There might be a little bit of love involved, but he wasn't sure himself. How could he give Ran an answer?

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Zhang Shan was speechless. How come he never noticed before that this kid was such a procrastinator?

"Hey, you think about it yourself. After all, it's your and Xiaolan's own business, and it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to interfere."

Back in his seat, Zhang Shan's thoughts drifted elsewhere.

"I have been in this world for twelve years."

Twelve years ago, he transmigrated to this place and became an orphan whose parents had died. With his parents' insurance money and their life savings, Zhang Shan hired a lawyer to buy him a house, and he has never been short of money in recent years.

Even after the bubble burst a few years ago, he made a fortune by writing light novels about slacking off and having a good time. Now he has some assets and is at least not worried about food and clothing.

As for his encounter with Shinichi and the others, it was truly an accident. He originally thought he had traveled to a parallel world in the 1980s and had planned to invest in internet companies and wait to make a fortune. Even if he didn't earn much from the internet, he was confident that he could collect tens of thousands of Bitcoins by the time he turned thirty and live a comfortable life for the rest of his days.

But to his utter surprise, one afternoon when he went out to play football, he happened to run into Shinichi, who was also there to play football. After learning who Shinichi was, Zhang Shan knew that his plans would definitely have to change!

After building a good relationship with Shinichi, Zhang Shan also got to know Ran and Sonoko. Then, for the sake of his future happiness, Zhang Shan began to gradually increase Sonoko's favorability.

Nonsense! With such a wealthy woman right in front of you, no one would hesitate!

Although it was a bit underhanded, after spending several years together, Zhang Shan genuinely fell for this seemingly carefree but actually very thoughtful girl; moreover, Sonoko was very beautiful, and after accidentally seeing her without her headband, Zhang Shan couldn't take his eyes off her.

During junior high school, Zhang Shan officially launched his offensive, and after more than half a year, he finally succeeded in getting together with Yuanzi!

Then they started showing off their love, and they've been doing it ever since!

Time has not diminished their feelings; on the contrary, it has deepened their bond. Now they are like an old married couple, and their love has undergone a qualitative change, evolving into familial affection.

After a day of classes, Xiaolan and Yuanzi left together, while Zhang Shan went to a nearby gym to train. In order to cope with the various dangers in the future, Zhang Shan had been training himself like crazy over the years. Although he could not reach the superhuman level of Makoto Kyogoku, he was far superior to the average black belt.

While Zhang Shan was exercising, Sonoko and Ran sat in a café. Ran's excited words reached Sonoko's ears, and looking at her shyly blushing from imagining things, Sonoko sighed helplessly and said earnestly, "You should first make sure Shinichi can keep his appointment. After all, he's a very busy man."

Ran wasn't bothered by the cold water she'd been given. She laughed and said, "Shinichi already promised me, and he'll never go back on his word! By the way, the city-level competition is in a few days. Do you want to go watch?"

"Of course I'll go! As your best friend, I'll support you in every single one of your matches!" Sonoko said, patting her chest.

"That's great! I'll go get you tickets!" Xiaolan said with a smile.

"No need, I'll have my family get me front-row tickets!" Sonoko laughed. "By the way, do you want me to get tickets for your Shinichi? If not, I'll only buy two!"

"Wha...what about my Shinichi?" Ran blushed slightly. "But I'll give Shinichi the tickets myself tomorrow night."

"Oh~~~" Sonoko's eyes were teasing as she feigned sadness, "So Shinichi's tickets were prepared all along? So there weren't any tickets for us from the beginning~ What a guy who values ​​girls over friends!"

As night fell, the city was shrouded in darkness.

With the plan almost complete, Yuanzi sent Zhang Shan a text message, asking him to come pick her up.

At the gym, Zhang Shan estimated that it was about time and had already packed up his things. Sure enough, a short while later, he received a text message from Yuanzi.

As he was leaving with his things, the proprietress sitting by the door asked with a smile, "Zhang, going to pick up your girlfriend again?"

The proprietress had blonde hair, delicate features, and a tall figure. Her gaze toward Zhang Shan was teasing.

"Yes, it's so late, I'm worried about her going home alone." Zhang Shan smiled and nodded at the proprietress, "I'm leaving now, I'll come again in a few days!"

"Bye~"

Watching Zhang Shan disappear from her sight, Lisael turned her gaze back to the empty gym, her eyes cold, and murmured, "I've lingered here too long. It's time to change my identity."
