An infinite journey starting from paradise

"No...no. I..."

"Then don't be so restrained." Lin Shangren patted the bed and motioned Ikezawa Yuko to sit over.

"Yes."

Ikezawa Yuko docilely walked towards Lin Shangren's bed, while Fuyushi took the lead, supporting herself with her hands and crawling towards him. Her towering breasts rose and fell, trembling with every movement, and her bikini bra could hardly contain them. Lin Shangren hugged Fuyushi's delicate body and pulled her to his side. Fuyushi's breasts suddenly bounced, and her collarbone was covered with a dazzling white wave.

Dong Shi rested his head on Lin Shangren's shoulder, his arm resting on Lin Shangren's body, his fingers gently tickling his abdominal muscles. Dong Shi said coquettishly in Lin Shangren's ear: "It's an appointment, I'm the first one."

I originally thought that I would only play duo with Hehuan tonight, but I didn't expect that there would be another person, Ikezawa Yuko, whom I didn't know at all. Dongshi raised his head and was wondering why Hehuan hadn't changed into her swimsuit yet, when he saw another tall woman in a beige competitive swimsuit walk in.

Tachibana Maya entered Lin Shangren's bedroom with a look of resentment on her face. She truly didn't want to "sleep with him," and the violence she'd experienced that night clearly wasn't a fond memory for her. While her body ultimately felt exhilarated afterward, she still harbored resentment towards the adulterous couple. However, she was overwhelmed by the situation, and reluctantly, Tachibana Maya changed into her swimsuit and offered herself to him.

"Is there room on the bed?"

Looking at Tachibana Maya's extremely reluctant expression, Lin Shangren felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"My bed is big, but you can refuse if you don't want to."

"If I refuse, that weird bat will turn me into a pool of meat paste in the next second." Tachibana Maya thought to herself.

"Tsk...then I'll just sit here."

Although Lin Shangren's left arm was still free, Tachibana Maya still sat down on the edge of the bed, leaving only her graceful back to the big pervert on the bed.

After Maya Tachibana also sat on the bed, Hehuan walked slowly from the door, holding two bags in her hands.

"Everyone's here, let's get started. Tonight's swimsuit party. Well... although there are fewer people this time, I've prepared more than just these few swimsuits. I guarantee that you'll feel fresh until sunrise."

Chapter 282 Technological Explosion

A technological explosion refers to an intelligent civilization achieving a massive leap in science and technology over a short period of time. For example, before 1903, flying into space was a distant dream for humans, but 66 years later, humans reached the moon.

Lin Shangren is no stranger to the concept of technological explosion, or rather, he has personally promoted the leapfrog development of human civilization in multiple universes: in the Euphoria universe, he guided mankind in finding the ultimate answer to heat death with his hundred appearances, promoted the world's rapid entry into the information age in the Shell Girl universe, and even in the Maggot Bait universe, the Trisolaran invasion he directed and acted in objectively promoted the overall unity of mankind and the explosive development of science and technology in that universe.

However, in this world where science is mixed with metaphysics, human civilization seems to be able to undergo a technological explosion on its own without the intervention of Lin Shangren.

"Sindora Corporation's latest scientific research achievements, a new generation of 64-bit micro-client computing cores, high-capacity storage technology... and even the prototype of artificial intelligence?!"

Looking at the contents on his computer and then at the latest Nokia 6110 at hand, Lin Shangren, who was collecting information, fell into deep thought: "No, buddy. This is the green background light monochrome screen phone I just bought. Are you going to make a smartphone now?! Okay, this is very scientific."

As far as Lin Shangren knew, only six months had passed in the main storyline of "Detective Conan" until he was killed by a mortar shell from rebels in Burkina Faso in his previous life and then reborn. During this time, Conan's world evolved from the era of monochrome feature phones to the smartphone era, and a series of cutting-edge technologies emerged, including brain-computer game consoles and the highly intelligent artificial intelligence Noah's Ark.

Such an outrageous speed of technological development makes one wonder whether this world is going to have some outrageous thing like the "Root of Destruction and Summoning Body".

"It seems I was too conservative. I was originally worried that suddenly creating too many epoch-making things in this world would cause some difficult-to-solve problems. I didn't expect the technological development of this world to be even more radical than I imagined."

Lin Shangren, who is gradually forming Consortium B, decided to step up his efforts and start several big projects in the fields of materials and communications.

"I originally just wanted to recruit some potential murderers as slaves, but it seems that this world's scientists and chemists can't be spared either."

Although Hayashi Naoto has already taken control of Dr. Agasa, the extremely unscientific leader of the scientific community, and even worked with him to develop an enhanced suit, he has not had much contact with other scientific geniuses, such as Taku Itakura, a genius programmer recruited by the Black Organization, and Hiroki Sawada, the adopted son of the president of the Sindora Company, whose information he is currently browsing.

Especially the latter, a nine-year-old boy can independently develop a self-growing artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark" that can learn by itself, has independent will, and grows one year at the same rate as five years of human growth.

Crucially, "Noah's Ark" can also receive human consciousness. In other words, Hiroki Sawada has developed technology for long-term mind uploading. Combined with the virtual brain-computer game showcased in the theatrical version of "The Phantom of Baker Street," it can be said that this guy has created a "paradise system" that doesn't require special girls as wetware. If Noah's Ark and brain-computer technology become widespread in the world, "Detective Conan" could easily become "Sword Art Online" or even "Accel World." Of course, if an AI rebellion occurs, it could even become a sci-fi horror action film like "Terminator."

Sadly, two years before Lin Shangren arrived in this world, Sawada Hiroki, the true genius, had already committed suicide by jumping from a building, leaving only a copy of his consciousness in the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark he developed. If he were still alive, Lin Shangren would have actually wanted to recruit this young scientist as his nuclear-powered ox.

Besides scientific geniuses like Hiroki Sawada, this world, a mix of "Cat's Eyes," "City Hunter," and "Lupin the Third," features a host of other brilliant scientists. For example, in the series "The Sisters of the Future Life," Ai, responsible for making various gadgets, is a prime example. In Lupin, there are even more, like Kallen, a Russian nuclear physicist, and Alex, who built a laser-synchronous satellite in the special episode "Walter P-38."

"Perhaps in this world, the American space-based weapon that Kaiharashin wants to acquire is the laser satellite built by Alex."

Conan and Lupin, one serialized for twenty years and the other forty, offer countless works of art and related content, leaving behind a wealth of valuable insights. Hayashi Shangren originally intended to use this world as a testing ground for his own radical reforms within the Karasu world, his own playground.

But as he gained a deeper understanding over the past two months, he increasingly felt that this seemingly ordinary world contained so many interesting things waiting for him to explore.

"Let's finish these small issues first. There's a celebration party for the Ultraman crew tomorrow, and as the boss, producer, and chief screenwriter, I have to be there. I'll leave the capture of the Phantom Thief Crow entirely to Dong Shi. And my sisters, Lai Sheng, let's go to the Cat's Eye Cafe later."

As for Koizumi Hongzi and the female ninja from yesterday, the former is hiding very deep and can't be found for the time being. As for the latter... I'll just go to the detention center tonight."

Thinking of this, Lin Shangren summoned a crystal compass from the shadows. The crystal mirror on the compass floated up and then a figure emerged, a mixed-race beautiful girl with short brown hair and wearing a white research suit.

"Ah~Sherry~"

Lin Shangren smiled and waved gently, and the image on the crystal mirror split in two. On the left was Miyano Shiho, sitting in the laboratory, staring blankly at the white mice, and on the right was her sister Miyano Akemi. At this time, Miyano Akemi was wearing a slim-fitting office lady uniform and was sitting behind the cash register, helping people with deposits.

Miyano Akemi had already infiltrated the Beika Bank and had already finalized her plan for the robbery. She had been holding off because Gin and Vodka had been severely beaten by Hayashi Shangren the other day and hadn't recovered yet. However, she had already begun recruiting members for the robbery gang, and it looked like she would be making her move soon.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Fululu landed on Lin Shangren's shoulder.

"Hey~ You're a peeping tom, you're disgusting."

"What do you mean by peeping? I was just making sure they were safe." Lin Shangren argued.

Fululu flapped her wings, bumped her head against Lin Shangren's, and said, "Tsk~ pervert. I say... you spent the entire night yesterday with four beautiful women in swimsuits, and now you're still ogling the Miyano sisters. Can't you satisfy this pervert, you? And... aren't you tired or don't want to sleep?"

"Sleep? What do you want to do?"

"think."

"..." Lin Shangren felt helpless, "How dare you, a lustful vampire like you, say that to me?"

"Tsk... If you don't want to do it, forget it. I don't envy those women with physical bodies... Haha... Let's go and play with Hehuan. She should be awake by now, right?"

Flururu flapped her wings and flew up.

"Then tonight will be fine." Lin Shangren said, "I'll get some sleep tonight. I say, you have to think positively. Although Fululu doesn't have a physical body now, you are the only girl who can have me all to myself. Well...with Bai Ye not around, being able to have spiritual intercourse as we please is better than not being able to do anything at all, right?"

"Cut~"

[…I suspect you’re implying something about me. (?_?)]

"Ah? No... Xiao Ai, you want to get into my bed too...? Huh?"

[No, I'm implying that you want to fuck me but can't~ Lululu~(?ω?)]

"That's true. I think my system girl still has her charm~"

[She's clearly in her prime... huh. (? ???ω??? ?)]

Looking at the blushing system girl Lin Shangren stretched out and thought it was time to go out and move around.

Thinking of this, Lin Shangren teleported out of Seven Star Entertainment Co., Ltd. and went straight to the Cat's Eye Cafe.

At the same time, Fuyushi also arrived at Kuchikikan. As soon as she entered the gate of Kuchikikan, she received a card from the temporary director, which was the warning letter from the Phantom Thief Crow.

"Tomorrow night? Phew, looks like I won't be able to accompany Shangren to the hot springs by the sea. Luckily, I've already shown him the bikinis I carefully selected. Well... then I'll devote all my energy to helping him complete his mission of catching the Phantom Thief."

At this moment, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded behind Dong Shi.

"Hello, what is your name?"

Dong Shi turned around and found that the person coming was a beautiful woman with good looks. There was a kind and gentle old man sitting in the wheelchair in front of her.

"My name is Shinna Xiang Baoli, and I would like to meet you." said the woman.

Author's words: Just one chapter, I'll update it tomorrow, probably.

Chapter 283 Cat's Eyes (Part 1)

Cat's Eye Cafe.

Business at the cafe was much better today than it had been the previous day, despite the shooting that had occurred there a week earlier. The reason for the cafe's booming business was simple: the attractive, single proprietress was clearly more appealing than the nearly six-meter-tall, bald, muscular man in a pink apron and sunglasses acting as the store manager.

What's more, the owners of Cat's Eye Cafe are three sisters, each of whom has her own unique charm, and the newly hired staff in the store are also rare beauties.

Given the cafe's current full capacity, Cat's Eye Cafe should see considerable revenue today. However, Laisheng Lei, the eldest of the Laisheng sisters, wasn't concerned. After all, the Laisheng family had plenty of money: Michael Heinz had left his three daughters a formidable legacy and connections. Needless to say, the Laisheng sisters' butler, Uncle Yongshi, was a retired US Army general with considerable influence in both American politics and business.

If it weren't for the search for the truth behind their father's disappearance, the three sisters would have no need to become thieves in their next life - in fact, they would only transform into cat's eyes and steal the collections that originally belonged to their father if the collectors did not agree to sell them.

Just an hour ago, Lai Shenglei had anonymously negotiated with a wealthy businessman who had collected their father's collection to purchase his collection. At this moment, she had just returned to the Cat's Eye Cafe.

"Sister Lei."

Seeing the boss return, the waitress at the cafe, Kasumi Aso, bowed slightly and greeted Lai Shenglei.

"The store's business is yours, Xia."

Lai Sheng Lei nodded slightly, and then walked up to the second floor of the cafe.

In the living room on the second floor, the second daughter of the Raisheng family, Raisheng Hitomi, was leaning on the sofa, fiddling with the key chain in her hand boredly, while the younger sister of the Raisheng sisters, Raisheng Ai, was staring at the computer with a serious expression. She was playing space pinball.

When she heard the door open, Lai Shengtong raised her head. Seeing that it was her elder sister who came back, she regained her spirits.

Lai Sheng Tong took Lai Sheng Lei's coat and asked, "Big sister, how is the situation? Did you see that Nagato Michizo?"

"He agreed to exchange the Karlsruhe Sketchbook for a first edition of The Sign of Four. The old gentleman is a Sherlock Holmes fan," Lai Shenglei replied. "Uncle Yongshi happens to have a copy in his collection. The handover will be completed in two days."

"That's good. No need to send him a cat's eye card."

Lai Sheng Ai, who once again broke her personal record in space pinball, stretched and lay on the table like a lazy cat.

"Next, we need to recover the Queen's Tears, the Curse of the Night, the Green Dragon's Eye, and... so many more..." Lai Sheng Ai tapped the table lightly with her fingers. "These are all in the hands of that wealthy detective named Lin Shangren, right?"

Lai Sheng Lei nodded.

"I sneaked into the archives department of the Metropolitan Police Department, but found no information about him. Uncle Nagaishi investigated his background, but he couldn't find anything. What is going on with that guy?" said Hitomi Raiu.

"His age is unknown, he owns numerous businesses, holds a high position of power, and is as wealthy as a nation. Yet, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and no information about his past can be found. Judging from the television broadcast of his arrest of Kidd and the recent reports, in addition to his financial resources, he also possesses formidable personal power. And yet, this man has suddenly started collecting my father's collection..."

The Laisheng sisters suspected that Lin Shangren might know the inside story of their father's sudden disappearance, or at least why his collection had been mysteriously lost and then acquired by various collectors. However, since they had no idea of ​​Lin Shangren's background and could not tell whether he was friend or foe, the Laisheng sisters had never dared to have direct contact with him.

Even after learning that Lin Shangren had handled a shooting case in the Maoyan Cafe, Lai Shenglei once thought of closing the cafe.

"A lot of Dad's collection is in his hands, and we always have to face him." Lai Shenglei said, "And..."

As he spoke, Lai Shenglei took out a flyer of the Xiumu Pavilion from his pocket.

"'Variations of Light', my father's own work, has also come into his hands."

"Really? Uncle Yongshi has been searching for it for a long time, so it turns out to be in his hands?" Lai Sheng Tong took the flyer handed to her by her elder sister.

At this moment, Lai Sheng Ai, who was lying on the table looking at the street view outside the window, suddenly sat up straight. She pointed in surprise at a black McLaren F1GTR parked at the door of the Cat's Eye Cafe.

"Sister...that car..."

"what happened?"

Lai Sheng Lei looked out the window and saw the man in black getting out of the car. Although there was a layer of one-way glass between them, Lai Sheng Lei still felt that he and the man named Lin Shangren made eye contact.

"You're showing off your arrogance...you're not here with good intentions."

……

"welcome."

Looking at the tall man walking into the cafe, the waitress Aso Kasumi gave a business smile.

"Hello, how many people are there?"

"Two of you, please find me a secluded spot."

As he answered, Lin Shangren looked at the beautiful woman with bright eyes, white teeth and waist-length hair.

【Name: Aso Kasumi】

[Race: Human female]

[Identity: Thief, Cat's Eye Cafe Waiter]

[Condition: right calf muscle strain]

[Note: The female thief who targeted the sisters of the German wealthy businessman Raisheng, was unaware that her prey was actually her senior colleague.]

Noticing the scrutinizing gaze of the man in front of her, Aso Kasumi asked uncomfortably, "Sir, is there something wrong with me?"

"Miss, is your right leg injured?"

Lin Shangren pointed at Aso Kasumi's tight calves wrapped in thick flesh-colored stockings.

"I fell yesterday and I seem to have a slight strain, but it's nothing serious. Sir, are you a doctor?" asked Aso Kasumi.

"Forensic doctor." Lin Shangren replied.

Aso Kasumi was a little embarrassed: "Um... I'd better take you to find a seat and order food."

"That's right over there." Lin Shangren pointed to where the Miyano sisters sat that day. "Give me a chiffon cake and an iced Americano. By the way, is Umibozu not here?"

"what?"

"It's Hayato Ijuin, the acting store manager here." said Lin Shangren.

"Sorry, I just worked here the day before yesterday, so I'm not very clear about it." Aso Kasumi replied.
