Conan Rick's Investigator

For example, when two masters are fighting, a trick like "Look! A flying saucer!" will definitely not work.

But the inspiration gun can forcefully transmit the thought of "there is a UFO in the sky" to the other party, causing the other party's body to involuntarily look up at the sky to see if there is a UFO.

This item isn't very powerful, but Qin Zhibo feels like there are some ingenious uses waiting to be developed.

But now Qin Zhibo only has 450 general proficiency left, which is not enough to buy it.

After a simple shopping trip, Qin Zhibo also has a chance to win a lottery for completing the main task.

Because he was afraid that the skill he would draw from the skill lottery pool would be another boring skill like driving an excavator, Qin Zhibo chose the prop lottery pool.

【Consume 1 lottery draw】

[Lottery drawing...]

【Congratulations on obtaining a nuclear lighter! 】

[Nuclear lighter: A lighter with permanent burning capability. It is windproof but not waterproof. Prolonged burning will cause the surface temperature of the lighter to rise, making it difficult to control.]

After weighing the bronze square lighter in his hand, Qin Zhibo was quite satisfied with the result of the lottery.

Although Qin Zhibo himself does not smoke, in this era when mobile phones cannot provide lighting, lighters have become an ideal lighting device that can be carried around.

……

For the next three days, Qin Zhibo went to the Mihua Library every day.

The purpose of going to the library is simple, which is to improve your language skills.

Or to be more direct, Qin Zhibo went there to learn French.

Qin Zhibo was somewhat concerned about the "Corpse-Eating Ritual" that he had investigated in Suyu's house before.

Qin Zhibo didn't understand what this book of rituals represented, nor did he know the meaning of the mysterious mythological knowledge and skills derived from this book.

So Qin Zhibo returned to Suoyu's house again and asked Matsumoto Ryohei for the "Corpse-eating Ritual".

After all, Qin Zhibo knew about Matsumoto Ryohei's weakness, so Matsumoto Ryohei dared not refuse.

In fact, Matsumoto Ryohei knew very little about this book. He only knew that it was a book that recorded the origin of necrophilia, and its original version had long disappeared in the long river of history.

In addition, Matsumoto Ryohei is also about to leave the Sowa residence.

Master Suyu Zun De's crime is not small. With the operation of all parties, although he will not be sentenced to death, he will probably be sentenced to life imprisonment without any reprieve.

Mrs. Shuyu was so heartbroken that she planned to sell her property and go abroad to live with her son.

As a result, all the housekeepers and servants of the Suyu residence were dismissed.

However, Qin Zhibo is not worried about Matsumoto Ryohei. After all, Matsumoto Ryohei has so many skills that he doesn't have to worry about finding a job.

Chapter 15 Skill Training and New Tasks

In the study reference book section of Mihua Library, Qin Zhibo quickly flipped through the book "Gradual French Vocabulary (Intermediate)" in his hand.

During these three days of study, Qin Zhibo also browsed through "Gradual French Grammar (Elementary)", and planned to develop grammar towards the intermediate level after learning the vocabulary.

He finished studying two French reference books in three days. Although his learning efficiency cannot be called monstrous, it is still amazing.

This is partly due to the fact that Qin Zhibo already has a level 3 language skill, which gives Qin Zhibo a language learning talent that is several times higher than that of ordinary people, making it easier for him to understand grammar and memorize words.

On the other hand, Qin Zhibo used the skill training acceleration card (3 days).

With the exception of investigation skills, any skill proficiency can be improved by conducting training and learning related to professional skills.

It’s just that the speed of acquiring proficiency in professional skills through normal learning and training is very slow.

Taking language skills as an example, Qin Zhibo can only gain about 20 points of skill proficiency per hour without using an acceleration card.

With the help of the skill training acceleration card, Qin Zhibo's proficiency can basically increase by about 50 points every hour.

In order not to waste the time of the skill training acceleration card, Qin Zhibo came into the library to study every day for the past three days as soon as it opened and stayed until the library closed.

After returning to the office, Qin Zhibo still has to study for about 3 hours using borrowed reference books.

As for why I didn't borrow the book and continued studying in the firm, it was because the speed of acquiring proficiency in the firm was lower than in the library, about 40 points per hour.

In other words, if you want to conduct professional skill training, you will improve faster in an environment specifically used for that skill training than in other environments.

For example, learning how to drive a car should be done at a driving school, medical treatment should be learned at a university medical school, firearms should be learned at a shooting range, and fighting skills should be learned at a martial arts hall.

And so on.

……

As the sun sets, the orange-red sunlight shines on the table.

"Mr. Qin, we are about to close the museum."

On the other side of the reading room, a kind-faced librarian was sorting and arranging the books in the cartons while reminding Qin Zhibo to pay attention to the time.

Qin Zhibo looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 6:12.

"Thank you."

Qin Zhibo stood up and stretched, but he didn't plan to bring the book back to the office to study today.

The time for skill training cards to accelerate has passed. There is no need to kill your brain cells for the slow growth rate of proficiency.

To be honest, Qin Zhibo was not a top student in his previous life, so it would be impossible for him to have the patience to maintain high-intensity study for three days.

But after he really started studying, Qin Zhibo discovered the joy of being a top student.

Humans can feel happy from "acquisition", whether it is acquiring wealth or knowledge.

A top student is someone who can acquire more knowledge per unit time and thus feel happier.

The happier you feel, the more you will love to learn. This is a positive feedback mechanism.

For example, in a game, if you are given a simple human-computer interaction at the beginning to satisfy your needs and make you feel happy, you will be more willing to continue playing.

On the contrary, if you are a poor student who doesn’t like studying, please don’t worry.

You're just not smart...

After stretching his slightly stiff neck, Qin Zhibo took a look at his learning results over the past three days.

……

Language: Language refers to your language ability. Improving this skill will give you a stronger talent for language learning and a richer reserve of language knowledge.

Rating: 4

Proficiency: 527/4000

(Currently proficient in languages: English, Japanese, Chinese, and French.)

……

Language skills are considered to be fully mastered when the current skill level is promoted to the next level.

In other words, if you want to reach a level of French proficiency where you can fluently read French books, you must achieve all 4000 proficiency points.

And the difficulty doubles with each additional language you learn.

After checking, Qin Zhibo returned the book to its original place, and then glanced at the librarian who was carefully arranging the books.

The librarian's name is Kazuo Tamada. He is a man with a serious work attitude. He completes his daily book classification work meticulously and leaves work later than other librarians.

The only person who left work later than Tamada Kazuo was the curator who was responsible for locking the door.

Qin Zhibo had met the director several times. He was a man with a long, thin face and a hooked nose. Because he was kind, he had a good reputation among the library staff and readers.

"By the way, Mr. Yutian, is the museum closed tomorrow?"

Facing Qin Zhibo's sudden question, Yutian Henan sighed slightly, but still explained: "Tomorrow is Saturday, and we are closed every Monday..."

amount……

Qin Zhibo was speechless because today was Sunday.

In the few days since coming to this world, Qin Zhibo discovered some problems, or bugs, in this world.

That is, if you don’t have a clock to count the time, your sense of time is often inaccurate.

Also, the people here have a completely confused concept of the day of the week.

Today is Sunday, so tomorrow should be Monday, the day the library is closed, but Tamada Kazuo said tomorrow is Saturday.

In fact, Qin Zhibo learned from Yutian Henan the day before yesterday that the day before yesterday was Friday.

If calculated according to the week of this world, the item refresh time in the store is one week, which is actually much longer than the normal seven-day week.

It seems that buying X-ray glasses is not completely impossible...

"By the way, Mr. Qin, you study French every day. Are you preparing for some exam?"

Yutian Henan asked Qin Zhibo questions in turn, which made Qin Zhibo, who was about to leave, stop.

Of course, Qin Zhibo couldn't say that he learned French just to understand a book. No one would be so boring, so he nodded in agreement with Yutian Henan's words.

"Yeah, I'm preparing for some language tests."

"That's great!"

Tamada Kazuo suddenly put down the book in his hand and said, "Actually, Director Jinchuan recently received a new batch of foreign books and put them in the warehouse."

"I don't understand the titles of those books, so I can't categorize them, but I see a lot of them that look like French books."

"If this is Mr. Qin, you should be able to tell me how those books are classified, right?"

In response to Yutian Henan's request, Qin Zhibo nodded hesitantly. After all, this administrator had been taking good care of him these days, and just looking at the title of the book was not a big deal.

"Then let's make an appointment for next Tuesday. Thank you very much!"

amount……

Qin Zhibo looked a little embarrassed, because he was not sure which day would be next Tuesday.

At this time, Yutian Kazuo also put the last book on the bookshelf, holding the empty box and walked out with Qin Zhibo.

"Mr. Qin, have you heard about the recent rumor?"

"What rumors?"

Qin Zhibo responded absentmindedly while thinking about what to eat tonight.

Suddenly, Tamada Kazuo put on a terrifying look, stepped in front of Qin Zhibo, and said seriously, "I heard that the armor in the Medieval Art Museum can move!"

"The armor moves?"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised that a serious adult man like Yutian Henan would care about such things.

"Yes! And the museum's security guard saw it with his own eyes while on patrol. The news has spread around the neighborhood."

"Um... maybe it's a publicity stunt for the museum?"

Qin Zhibo answered nonchalantly. After all, he had seen this kind of propaganda method many times in his previous life, especially the rumors about water monsters, which were the hardest hit areas.

But at this moment, new message from the system appeared on the left side of Qin Zhibo's vision.

……

Side quest: Investigate the paranormal events at the Medieval Art Museum.

Task requirements: time limit 24 hour

Mission Reward: 400 General Proficiency, 120 Social Credit

Chapter 16 Encounter at the Medieval Art Museum

"Mr. Qin?"

"Mr. Qin? What's wrong with you?"

Yutian Kazuo looked at Qin Zhibo who suddenly froze and asked with concern.

Qin Zhibo was stunned for two seconds before forcing a smile and replied, "No, nothing..."

"Mr. Yutian, I'll be leaving first."
