A Scientific Urban Detective

The summer vacation was approaching, and the various events that had occurred previously were also coming to an end. Now, even the Misaka sisters' living expenses no longer needed to be worried about. It could be said that Lin Wuming had finally ushered in the ideal state of being "free from all worries."

But instead of feeling relaxed, he felt even more nervous.

Because calculating the time, in another year, which is the second half of next year, this world would usher in a crazy rampage mode…

If there were no accidents, next year's summer vacation would be when "A Certain Magical Index" would descend from the sky.

Just thinking about the monsters and ghosts from the magic side in the original work, Lin Wuming felt a great deal of pressure.

After all, many "magic" spells were unreasonable. Even if Lin Wuming had the trump card of "bullet time," if he couldn't find the source of the fatal crisis, he was afraid that he would not escape death in the end!

In short, Lin Wuming felt that his current strength was not strong enough and not comprehensive enough.

In order to better meet the upcoming "main storyline," Lin Wuming felt that the top priority was to improve his strength and become stronger!

At least, in terms of strength, he had to remove the "suspected" prefix from "suspected level 5."

——He must obtain true level 5 combat power.

Anyway, he was no longer short of money, and recently Chairman Aleister didn't give him many requests. Lin Wuming decided to conduct another "secluded cultivation" during the summer vacation in order to break through his limits and further improve his strength.

Lin Wuming had recently entered a bottleneck period—in terms of the subtle manipulation of Nen, the "molecular" scale was already the limit, and this level of subtle manipulation could only be performed in the "bullet time" state.

In a normal state, he could only manipulate the King Kong sand at most.

There was still a considerable gap from the "atomic" level or even more microscopic scales he envisioned.

Lin Wuming had a premonition that unless he experienced another "real fatal crisis"—a fatal crisis that even "bullet time" could not guarantee survival from—otherwise, it would be impossible to go further with the current step-by-step cultivation and training.

Of course, Lin Wuming didn't want to really "seek death"—and speaking of which, even if he wanted to "seek death" now, it wouldn't be so easy.

Therefore, if he wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible, he could only look for some "crooked ways."

Just like some time ago, Lin Wuming was keen on cracking down on illegal tutoring institutions, and a large part of the reason was that he also wanted to find a method that could indeed improve his abilities.

It was a pity that the biggest illegality of the so-called "illegal tutoring institutions" was "fraud." They had no technology to improve abilities at all, which only made Lin Wuming disappointed again and again.

Finally, in early July, when Academy City fully entered summer vacation mode, Shokuhou Misaki brought a "good news."

"Wuming-senpai, 'Level Upper' has appeared!" Shokuhou Misaki rushed into Lin Wuming's room in a hurry, sat on the edge of the bed unceremoniously, and said while fanning herself, "It's a technology developed by Kiyama Harumi-sensei, it's like…"

——Just like in the original plot.

Except that the time was much earlier, the other developments were almost the same as in the original plot.

"Didn't we lend her 'Tree Diagram Designer'?" Lin Wuming was also surprised, thinking that this plot would change.

"Who knows?" Shokuhou Misaki shrugged, "Maybe it has something to do with Saidan Mitori, she is acting with Kiyama Harumi-sensei."

Shokuhou Misaki and Lin Wuming were also bound by the original plot, subconsciously thinking that even if there was still the "Level Upper" plot, it should happen next year.

Unexpectedly, Kiyama Harumi's progress was so fast, advancing "Level Upper" to the level of the original plot a year in advance.

You must know that Shokuhou Misaki also heard about the relevant urban legends before going to investigate.

As a result, she discovered that the mysterious software called "Level Upper" had been circulating on secret forums for almost a month!

And as described in the original plot, the current "Level Upper" also has the effect of increasing the user's ability level.

More than one or two users have proven that this software is indeed effective!

So, after entering the summer vacation time, "Level Upper" ushered in a big explosion, and related urban legends became a hot topic.

So much so that Shokuhou Misaki, who was in the School Garden, also heard such legends.

"So, what do we need to do, Wuming-senpai?" Shokuhou Misaki asked.

After all, they knew who the culprit was, and it was not difficult to stop this incident.

"No." Lin Wuming shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"I knew it…" Shokuhou Misaki shook her head. Even without using her superpower, she could guess Lin Wuming's decision.

The "Level Upper" developed by Kiyama Harumi can be said to be one of the extremely rare in the original work… no, it can even be said to be the only technology that can indeed improve the ability level.

Even if it only has a little effect.

The latest novel is first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

But it does break through the limitation of "skill reality" and allows each user to obtain a certain improvement…

More importantly, the side effects of "Level Upper" are controllable.

In the original plot, although the users of "Level Upper" fell into a collective coma, they quickly recovered through the "antidote" provided by Kiyama Harumi after the incident.

Rounding it off, it is equivalent to no risk!

You must know that Academy City's ability development courses originally had methods such as "electrotherapy," "drug injection," and "mental hypnosis," which sounded unsafe; in comparison, "Level Upper," which only loses consciousness and falls into a coma for a while, is very mild.

In this way, how could Lin Wuming, who had fallen into a bottleneck period, give up this rare opportunity?

Even if he can only get a little insignificant improvement in the end, Lin Wuming is willing to try.

Because he has "bullet time," and even the slightest progress will become a considerable improvement after the magnification of "bullet time."

"Wuming-senpai…" Shokuhou Misaki hesitated to speak, "Actually, you don't have to work so hard… that's what I wanted to say."

However, Shokuhou Misaki also knew very well that Lin Wuming was not worrying needlessly.

In fact, Shokuhou Misaki herself was also eagerly looking for ways to improve her strength.

In order to welcome the arrival of next year, Shokuhou Misaki even gave up the decision to destroy "External Brain" like in the original plot, and instead decided to completely master it and make it her most powerful weapon.

"I can only say, be careful." Shokuhou Misaki said self-deprecatingly, "But I don't need to say that kind of thing…"
