After settling down, Lin Xiao and Artorya certainly did not choose to be idle.
Instead, he continued to explore Academy City's intelligence, and the days passed by.
After all, the more you know in this strange world, it will definitely be helpful for future tasks.
Three days later, Lin Xiao and Atolya were having lunch in the apartment.
Finally I received a call, it was news from the chairman.
It was still the mature but polite middle-aged man's voice: "The chairman hopes that you two will investigate the Fantasy Hand incident."
"Okay, Chairman, please rest assured that we will investigate as soon as possible."
Hang up the phone, and at the same time, Lin Xiao's task panel lights up.
"Mandatory side mission: Solve the Fantasy Hand incident."
"It seems we have work to do." Lin Xiao said helplessly.
"I have collected a lot of information in the past few days. What is this fantasy master?" Artoria was very confused.
Lin Xiao smiled mysteriously and explained.
"It seems to be something similar to an urban legend. It is said to be something that can allow people with abilities to upgrade or people without abilities to gain abilities."
A few days ago, I was using my computer and saw a very vicious rumor circulating on the Academy City Forum. As soon as I heard about this mission, I thought of it.
"Ability upgrade? How is this possible?" Atorya has completely understood the things in this world through the investigation of intelligence during this period.
The so-called ability varies from person to person and can be determined innately.
People without qualifications can even become incompetent. At least 60% of the students in Academy City are incompetent.
Basically these cannot be changed.
"Imaginary hand should have this possibility. It seems that staying at home is not a problem. Let's go outside and try our luck."
Lin Xiao decided to go outside to take a look. Of course, going outside was not for other things.
Instead, he seeks out the faults of those incompetent people, who gather in the corners of Academy City.
They are all gangsters, and their ability levels are low. Otherwise, the bad guys in this area will be in trouble.
They were all beaten badly, but of course they still didn't get any useful information.
Maybe that thing hasn't come here yet?
If there is no result, we can only go home.
Now the two of them were walking home and started chatting.
"Lin Xiao, this fantasy hand...I always feel that something that can produce miracles may not be a good thing." Artoria said worriedly.
"That's right, I think so too." Lin Xiao also thought so.
Just then a voice came from the entrance of an alley passing by.
Lin Xiao took a look and saw that it was several bad guys bullying a female student.
Before he could say anything, Artoria rushed over like the wind.
Lin Xiao spread his hands and had no choice but to follow him. Of course, he wanted to teach these bad guys a lesson first.
Who gave you the unlucky chance to meet the righteous knight from heaven?
Following the sound of bumping, the group of delinquents soon fell to the ground in a mess.
"Hey, are you okay?" Atorya asked the rescued girl.
The girl looked shocked, then calmed down for a moment and said, "Thank you, thank you."
"Okay, you have to be careful from now on... let's go..." Before he could finish his words, Lin Xiao turned around and punched a scorching fireball.
"Hey, why don't you just lie down and have a good time? Do you want to ask for trouble?" Lin Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the delinquent who was struggling up from the ground wearing a duck-billed hat.
The fireball fired by the duckbill hat was easily resolved, but the opponent still used his fists.
There was a moment of horror in my heart, and then I screamed in disbelief.
Three more fireballs were fired in succession, and the fireballs rushed over, but Lin Xiao remained unmoved.
Then a jet-black sword appeared with a flick of his right hand, and with just a few sword moves, all the fireballs were scattered.
"... Damn it! Damn it! How could it be so weak when you are clearly using that thing!" The bad guy in the duck-billed hat screamed angrily.
Lin Xiao frowned when he heard this, and the next moment he came to the bad guy.
A harmless smile appeared on his face: "Hey, what are you using? Is it a fantasy hand?"
This bad guy looked like he was about to cry. The reason was the pitch-black sword on his neck, and the smile of the monster-like young man in front of him made him even more frightened.
After he called the things out, Lin Xiao let him go.
In the apartment.
Lin Xiao took out a clever thing and examined it carefully in his hand.
The shape looks like a portable mp3.
"Is this thing the Fantasy Controller?"
Artorya replied: "That should be the case. After all, that guy is scared by you, so he shouldn't lie."
"But why can't I see how this thing can improve its abilities?"
"Maybe we can ask the chairman."
Atria thought about it and came up with a good idea.
That's right, I am a layman after all, it would be different if I asked a professional.
Dial the number with your mobile phone and get a reply quickly from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, this is the chairman's home. What's the matter with you two calling me for the first time?"
"Hey, it's about the Fantasy Controller. We got this thing, but we don't see anything weird about it."
"That's it. I'll come right away and ask you to wait."
After I hung up the phone, a middle-aged man came not long after.
I forgot to introduce that this middle-aged man’s name is Yamamoto, and he is a housekeeper responsible for taking care of the chairman.
After Yamamoto took the Fantasy Controller and watched it for a while, he turned on the MP3 player.
Then Lin Xiao heard a strange musical sound, as if a burst of energy entered his mind, which was very strange.
Yamamoto frowned and said: "The person who made such a thing is really a genius. This music can artificially enhance the ability of people with abilities. This is his principle."
"Does that mean listening to this music can improve combat effectiveness?"
"It's not that simple. The difference in ability between ability users actually depends on their computing power. The stronger the computing power, the stronger the ability. However, the computing power of low-ability people is very weak and they cannot exert their abilities at all. And this
Once music is turned on, it can connect the computing capabilities of multiple people, thereby instantly increasing computing power and thus improving capabilities."
"This thing sounds like a good thing, wouldn't it be harmful?"
"I don't know the specifics, but it shouldn't be a good thing." Yamamoto explained.
"It seems like there might be some kind of conspiracy. Just continue to investigate this matter." Lin Xiao decided after hearing Yamamoto's answer.
"If there is anything you need help with, please feel free to ask." Yamamoto smiled gently.
The next day, Lin Xiao followed Atoliya to School District 7.
As for why you are here? The girl who was saved one day wanted to thank the two of them.
So she planned to entertain the two of them for dinner, and Artoria happily agreed.
Lin Xiao didn't know much, so he naturally followed him.
This is an open-air restaurant, and Lin Xiao is sitting next to Atoliya.
In addition to this there are four others.
The beautiful girl with long black hair is the person rescued yesterday, her name is Saten Ruiko.
