Detective Conan: The Literary Genius is Actually a Great Scientist

If he remembers correctly, CPH4 should be the synthetic drug from a science fiction movie called "Lucy" from his previous life.

The effect is that it can make a person's brain development level soar from 10% to 100%, ultimately gaining god-like abilities such as controlling matter, traveling through time and space, and being omniscient and omnipotent.

But the price is equally devastating—the individuality of being a "human" will gradually disappear, and emotions, memories, and the physical body will be integrated into the "unified" universe, becoming the embodiment of rules.

The effect is very strong, but the cost is also very high.

With a flicker of curiosity, Lin Ran took out the prize she had just won from the system space.

Unlike the blue crystalline powder CPH4 in the movie, this one produced by the system is more like a legitimate medicine—a palm-sized, white, opaque plastic bottle containing fifty deep blue pills.

There was also an instruction label on the bottle.

[Item Name]: Weakened CPH4

[Efficacy]: After oral administration, it can significantly improve the user's brain information processing speed, logical thinking ability, and memory within 8 hours. Clarity of thought and concentration are significantly enhanced.

[Side effects]: After the effects of the medication wear off, users will feel mentally exhausted and experience intense drowsiness, requiring sufficient sleep to recover.

[System Comments]: A lifesaver for top students pulling all-nighters, cramming before exams, and facing paper deadlines. Use it wisely for double the efficiency; abuse it and it will harm your health—remember this!

Lin Ran stared at the instruction manual, thoughtfully rubbing her chin.

"Has the effect of 'developing' the brain been weakened, leaving only pure 'acceleration' and 'enhancement'?" he muttered to himself. "The most dangerous, uncontrollable evolutionary side effects have been eliminated, retaining only the practical function of improving thinking efficiency in the short term..."

In that case, it's barely acceptable.

After all, he wasn't prepared to become the rules of the universe, to lose his own emotions and physical body. That would be no different from death, or even worse—you would exist, but you would no longer be yourself.

Having made it to the world of Detective Conan, he still has bigger dreams and pursuits to fulfill.

For example... to provide a warm, harmonious, and loving family for those beautiful and charming young ladies with different personalities... (crossed out) to dedicate themselves to promoting social progress through science and literature.

While the current CPH4 cannot directly raise the upper limit of intelligence, nor can it grant instant enlightenment like the original, this controllable and temporary acceleration of thought is of great value for learning and research.

As for the side effects, they are negligible.

No one can withstand eight hours of continuous high-speed brain activity; feeling sleepy is a normal physiological reaction.

"Great stuff! This is truly practical 'cutting-edge technology'!"

Lin Ran nodded in satisfaction.

Although the first draw was garbage, the second one was definitely lucky. It seems that the pity system exists. Next time I'll try a 10-pull to see if I can get gold.

After glancing at the time, Lin Ran placed the medicine bottle on the corner of the desk, walked to the computer desk next to her, and turned on the computer.

After typing a password on the keyboard, the screen switched to display a real-time monitoring feed.

The location of the scene is inside a heavily guarded underground facility, which, judging from its layout and equipment, resembles a high-level biological or chemical laboratory.

In the heart of the laboratory, a young woman in a white lab coat with short, brown hair stood in front of a sophisticated instrument, occasionally giving instructions in her clear voice to the researchers around her, who were dressed in the same uniform.

The girl's face was as delicate as a doll's, yet she exuded a sense of aloofness that kept strangers at bay, as well as the oppressive aura of academic authority.

It was Shiho Miyano, codenamed "Sherry" in the organization.

Speaking of which, his little assistant was really pitiful. He worked hard and diligently in the organization for so many years, only to be ruthlessly silenced. He didn't even get a decent name or code name for the liquor.

It is truly heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see.

"Shiho Miyano..."

Lin Ran looked at the aloof and busy figure on the monitor screen, a slight smile appearing on her lips, revealing a knowing look.

Having promised Mingmei to save her sister from the clutches of the organization, Lin Ran always kept his word and never went back on his word.

Everything was progressing as he had anticipated.

Top biologists like Shiho Miyano, who can independently lead the development of groundbreaking drugs like APTX-4869, are invaluable to the organization, especially to Renya Karasuma, who is driven by a desire for immortality. They are one of the core pieces of the organization's future plans.

It's not something Gin has the authority to "dispose of" arbitrarily.

In the original anime, Shiho Miyano was imprisoned because she was disheartened after learning of her sister's death, voluntarily stopped her research, and tried to escape, thus crossing the organization's bottom line.

But that's it; the organization only restricts her freedom in an attempt to change her mind.

After all, Karasuma Renya was still counting on Sherry's research results to grant him glorious immortality.

Lin Ran leaned back leisurely in her chair, her gaze falling on the cool profile of the tea-haired girl focused on her work in the surveillance footage. It has to be said that the way the girl was seriously doing scientific research had a unique charm that was both aloof and intriguing.

He had somehow acquired a small glass jar in his hand, which he was casually fiddling with between his fingers.

The jar is filled with colorful candies, shaped like a whistle.

There was an inconspicuous label on the can:

[Attracting sugar].

This was one of the items he obtained through a domain lottery when his literature level was raised to Lv.2.

The effect is that after you eat it, if you say any word, the corresponding object will immediately appear next to you, regardless of spatial distance or physical rules.

This is very unscientific, but very scientific.

Lin Ran remembered that this seemed to be a specialty of the Three-Inch Star from a certain "Meteorite" world.

It was also a backup plan he prepared for Shiho Miyano.

If any uncontrollable accident occurs, such as the organization suddenly deciding to get rid of Sherry at all costs, he will eat the summoning candy and say the keyword "Miyano Shiho" to instantly "summon" her to his side.

Of course, the preferred solution is to have Shiho Miyano, like in the original story, take APTX-4869 and shrink down, and then he can go and pick her up.

This process is original content certified, safe and reliable.

The reason for not summoning directly is...

Of course, it wasn't because the summoning process might be uncomfortable, nor was it because he wanted to experience the process of "picking up a wild loli scientist"... ah, I mean, rescuing her.

It's simply because while the effect of attracting sugar is powerful, it's also very troublesome to use.

Once ingested, one must be extremely careful with words and actions for the next 24 hours, otherwise it is easy to summon all sorts of strange or even dangerous things.

Imagine if you accidentally remarked to an empty refrigerator, "There's no more milk," and the next second you might be overwhelmed by dozens of liters of milk that suddenly appeared out of nowhere from some corner of the world.

If you complain, "Why is it so hot today?", a heatwave from somewhere near the equator might suddenly descend upon your room.

If you accidentally mutter "typhoon" while watching the news, you're in for a lot of trouble...

The scene is too beautiful to imagine.

Therefore, Lin Ran does not intend to eat unless absolutely necessary.

It's definitely not because he wants to have a legal loli with super high intelligence and a cool and cute appearance!

Yes, that must be it.

Lin Ran solemnly affirmed her motives in her heart.
