Create a fantasy paradise starting from Conan

"No, I'll go alone. Besides, it's safer this way. If I don't come back and Miss Sharon kidnaps me, you can just call the police."

"Huh...? Sister Sharon doesn't look like a bad person."

"Putting aside the fact that you can't judge a person's heart by his appearance, let's just say, 'Triple profits can drive capitalists crazy,' you've probably heard that saying before, right? Treasure hunting is a business with a thousandfold profit, and it's a zero-cost business."

"Well... then... please come home safely."

"Will do."

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, as if pointing at herself, Vermouth couldn't help but laugh:

"If you don't trust me, why do you want to cooperate with me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, but it's essential to be cautious of others. This is the most basic quality in dealing with people. We're not a close family, and only a brainless idiot would trust others unconditionally, right?"

"That's true. Oh my... I'm becoming more and more interested in you, little boy."

Chapter 15 This is how people live

The next day, noon.

Tokiwa Soemon was holding the magazine his son had someone buy for him and fell into deep thought for a moment.

According to the investigation, Yukiko Fujimine's father resigned from his job and started a magazine company.

Moreover, compared with the future 22 years later, she, who was originally an only child in a family of three, inexplicably had a cousin in the family.

According to the surveillance video, her cousin was the senior person.

"Did he create an identity out of thin air? Or was it some kind of magic like hypnosis or brainwashing?"

"Come to think of it, the senior man simply tossed the pistol away, and it vanished. That's obviously some kind of storage method."

"Judging from this, he has definitely experienced more than one world."

"But, what is his purpose? The main quest? It shouldn't be that. This is just a small mission no matter how you look at it."

'Choosing teammates? That's quite possible.'

"Judging from his attitude that day, it was obvious that only those who had passed the test and gained his trust could become true teammates."

'In other words, this reincarnation is essentially an elimination match to determine who is qualified to be a true reincarnationist.'

Thinking of this, Tokiwa Soemon immediately made a phone call and instructed his son to immediately reach a cooperation with Fujimine Magazine.

"'Night Walk', 'The Devotion of Suspect X'... 'One Piece', 'Naruto', these are all works that are destined to be big hits. They must have been provided by that senior person, right?"

"He's not a member of the Fujimine family, he's just an imposter, but he deliberately sneaked into the Fujimine family and tried every possible way to help the Fujimine family make money..."

"Huh…?"

At this moment, Tokiwa Soemon recalled the contents of the main mission again.

[Helps the protagonist, Yukiko Fujimine, to win the Teitan High School beauty pageant.]

"Protagonist? I hadn't noticed this key word before."

"Whether this is the real past or an illusory dream, the fact that she can be described as the protagonist is enough to show that she is the center of this mission."

"In that case, the main quest's title of champion is just a facade. The true mission should be to help the protagonist usher in a better life. Only then can they be worthy of the title of protagonist."

'Afterwards, after the mission is completed, the Lord God will definitely sort the remaining reincarnations, from least to most helpful to Fujimine Yukiko.'

Only the top few can become true reincarnators, while the rest, without the Lord's help, will return to their pre-death state, which is true death.

Thinking of this, Tokiwa Soemon felt somewhat relieved that he had already arranged for his granddaughter to transfer to that school.

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I have already told them about the political changes in the next 22 years. If the Tokiwa Group still can't develop, then they are really stupid."

"In order to become a true reincarnation, I must actively participate in the main quest."

Tokiwa Soemon took out his cell phone and called his son again.

……

Teitan High School, inside the cafeteria.

Seeing Tokiwa Mio go outside the cafeteria to answer a phone call, her already low mood seemed to have become even more depressed. After she sat down, Yukiko couldn't wait to ask:

"Are you okay? Could it be that your family is urging you again?"

Mio Tokiwa looked up at Yukiko, her eyes full of frustration, her fists clenched tightly, then unclenched again.

After a long while, he finally spoke:

"Yukiko, what does your family do? Are they some big shot?"

Just now, she received another call from her father, asking her to meet all of Fujimine Yukiko's needs no matter what, and help her fulfill at least three wishes every day, no matter how big or small.

She cannot be told the truth, but if she needs support in terms of money or manpower, her family will provide it all.

She felt really uncomfortable hearing such words.

What does "all needs" mean? What does "three wishes" mean? Am I a genie or Santa Claus?

"??"

Yukiko looked at Tokiwa Mio in confusion, and after thinking about it over and over again, she couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.

"Hey... Yukiko, what is your dream?" asked Mio Tokiwa expressionlessly.

"Huh...? Oh."

Yukiko was slightly startled, but quickly reacted.

We also talked about this topic yesterday at noon, but I didn’t seem to mention my dream.

"I want to be a magical girl who protects everyone's dreams! Hehe... I'm just kidding, I haven't thought about that yet."

"Oh...let me put it another way. Is there anything you want?"

"Eh...!? Are you trying to capture me? Let me be clear, I don't like girls."

"No, I'm just asking."

"That's good. You scared me. I thought you were that one."

Yukiko chuckled and said:

"Hmm...it seems like there are quite a lot of things I want."

"First, I hope that Brother Maku and Sister Sharon can return safely. Second, I want Mio and I to become true friends."

"Finally, I hope we can all spend every day smiling and without any worries."

Tokiwa Mio stared at her blankly, thinking unconsciously:

This guy is really amazing, but I don’t dislike this kind of energetic type.

"Yukiko, let me ask you a question. If your family asks you to do something you don't like, what would you do?"

“I’ll be blunt: I don’t like it!”

“What if it’s rejected and they order it to be completed?”

"Then I can only run away from home."

Thinking of this, Yukiko's mind moved slightly and she suggested:

"If you're not comfortable staying at home, Mio, would you like to try staying at my house for a while? I have two spare rooms that were previously used to store miscellaneous items. Just clean them up."

Mio Tokiwa was stunned for a moment as she didn't expect to be invited to run away from home.

"Why would you do this? We've only known each other for two days. I shouldn't have anything worth coveting."

"Do I have to plot something? I understand you have concerns, but what does it matter if we're not familiar with each other? From now on, can't we just slowly get to know each other better?"

Looking at Yukiko's serious expression, Tokiwa Mio was silent for a while, then couldn't help laughing:

"Thank you, Yukiko. I feel much better now."

"It's not yet to the point where I have to run away from home. I will explain everything to my family. Next time, if I really have no other choice, I will definitely accept your invitation."

"Sorry, I have to make a phone call first."

After leaving the cafeteria, Tokiwa Mio quickly called her father:

"Dad, I refuse."

"What did you say?"

"What I hate most is trying to please others! Fawning over others and fulfilling their bullshit wishes. If you want to do this kind of thing, Dad, do it yourself. I won't accompany you.

Humph! My allowance has been cut off, my status as an heir has been revoked, so what? At worst, I'll just beg on the streets. It's not just me who's embarrassed anyway.

Just like that, I’m dead! "

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Tokiwa Mio hung up the phone.

When he returned to the cafeteria, there was a smile on his face.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Yukiko."

"It's okay. I'm always available if you need help."

"No, this is my own business. The creed I've believed in since I was a child is to be self-reliant. Who says women are inferior to men?"

"Clap clap..."

Yukiko clapped her hands repeatedly and said with a smile:

"I think so too. Let's work hard together!"

……

At the same time, Bai Curtain, who was standing on the deck of a medium-sized cruise ship, was suddenly blocked by a mass of white.

When he came to his senses, he found Bai Lan hanging upside down in front of him, not caring about her exposed skirt, and dancing excitedly.

"Clang clang... Congratulations, congratulations! Two achievements were completed almost simultaneously today.

The first is: A True Friend is Hard to Find. Completion requires the protagonist, Yukiko Fujimine, to successfully make a close friend outside the main storyline with the player's help. The reward is 500 achievement points.

The second is: Immense Wealth. Completion requires the protagonist, Yukiko Fujimine, to successfully increase her family wealth tenfold. The reward is 1,000 achievement points.

The second one is completed by yourself and you can get full points.

The first one was completed by Tokiwa Soemon. According to what we agreed before, you will get 499 points and he will also get 1 point.

After all, we agreed that 1 point is the smallest unit, and anything less than 1 point will be forcibly reduced to 1 point."

Hearing this, Bai Mu unconsciously thought of a question.

The achievement is so easy to complete, but I went to the Calabash Brothers world and accomplished nothing, and only got 750 points. Isn’t that too useless?

Indeed, it is very important to do things within one's capabilities and not go into a world that exceeds one's own abilities.

Now, adding the remaining 20 points, there are a total of 1519 points.

However, Calabash Brothers' abilities are only 20,000 points per item, which is far from enough.

Thinking of this, Bai Mu glanced at Vermouth, who was wearing a bikini and lying on a rocking chair a few meters behind him, and silently called out the game interface. He continuously clicked on the icons at the top of the interface, and successively activated the achievement display function, storage function, fixed-point teleportation function, and portable mini-map function.

分别花费100点、100点、500点、100点，剩余成就点数719。

Considering Bai Lan's existence, and the fact that the portable map was too small and he didn't want to waste money on expanding the map, Bai Mu did not purchase the automatic routing function.

But even with just these few added features, Baimu still felt a little superior as a player.

If you don't spend money to expand the range, the small map on your body can only show all the places you have been to, but combined with the fixed-point teleportation function, it is enough to achieve instant movement.

As for the storage function and achievement display function, needless to say, they help to obtain achievement points more quickly.

"This is what a gamer is like. What kind of life were you living before?"

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Lan's voice rang out again:

"How about publicly presenting these two tasks as side quests, and urging others to actively explore these side quests?"

"Yeah. Considering that there are people around looking over here, just nod or shake your head."

Bai Mu shook his head slightly.

It is okay to report or not, but Fantasy Park has just started and all the rules have not been sorted out yet.

Rather than reporting directly, it would be better to wait until the main mission is completed and return to the virtual space opened up before reporting together.
