The sheer wealth of the system made Jiang Hang feel as if he had encountered something supernatural.
When Jiang Hang first arrived in this world, the system had quickly solved the problem of his identity and legal residency. Immediately afterward, almost as if it were trying to silence him, the system transferred a nine-digit sum of yen into his account as relocation compensation.
Moreover, the origin of the money had been arranged perfectly.
Part of it was listed as an inheritance from Jiang Hang's parents—who conveniently did not exist in this world. The rest came from a large insurance payout issued after those nonexistent parents had supposedly died in an "accident."
With assets exceeding one hundred million yen, Jiang Hang might not qualify as wealthy compared to the massive financial conglomerates of Japan.
But as long as Japan's economy didn't collapse overnight, this money alone would allow him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
And now, this outrageously generous system was once again bombarding Jiang Hang's fragile heart with enormous sums of money.
Originally, Jiang Hang had found the whole detective business troublesome.
But faced with the temptation of such wealth, he began seriously recalling the plot of Detective Conan.
According to what he vaguely remembered, tonight should have been the first case after Shinichi Kudo was turned into a child and began living under the identity of Conan Edogawa.
From the fragments of memory he had from childhood, the case seemed to involve a wealthy girl who staged her own kidnapping because her busy father couldn't spend time with her. Unfortunately, the fake kidnapping ended with her being abducted by a real criminal.
"But that case doesn't really involve me," Jiang Hang muttered.
He knew the girl had been kidnapped, but he had no idea where the incident actually took place.
All he could remember was a tall building that looked like a large chimney.
The scene was quite iconic, but this was Tokyo—a city full of tall buildings. There was no way Jiang Hang could figure out the exact location.
He had hoped the system might provide some assistance.
Instead, the system simply pushed the initial mission directly in front of him.
[System Notification]
Please complete the initial mission as soon as possible.
It seemed that until the detective agency officially opened, Jiang Hang would receive no additional help from this stubborn system.
"Fine," Jiang Hang sighed. "I won't wander around tonight. I'll focus on opening the detective agency first."
Since Conan had already reunited with Professor Agasa, Jiang Hang carefully climbed up and retrieved the feather located on top of the Kudo residence.
Collecting the first feather immediately rewarded him with five million yen, along with a classic assassin outfit modeled after Ezio.
That reward made Jiang Hang look forward to collecting more feathers in the future.
After all, the money earned from feathers was far easier than solving cases.
As for the assassin outfit, it didn't provide any special abilities or stat bonuses. It was simply a beautifully crafted set of clothing.
Fortunately, it fit Jiang Hang perfectly.
If he ever had the chance, he could even wear it to an anime convention.
Returning home, Jiang Hang enjoyed a long, relaxing hot shower.
Thinking about how Conan was probably still drenched in rain somewhere while desperately chasing down a criminal made Jiang Hang feel even better.
Somewhere far away, Conan Edogawa suddenly sneezed while walking beside Ran Mouri.
…
Perhaps the system had gained confidence after renaming itself.
Early the next morning—just as the sun was rising—Jiang Hang was abruptly awakened by an alarm set by the system.
Normally, he would sleep until eight or nine before waking up.
But the system's alarm was terrifyingly effective.
No matter what Jiang Hang tried, he couldn't turn it off.
He considered arguing with the system about adjusting his wake-up time.
Instead, the system immediately displayed the Daily Training Mission, including the one million yen reward earned from completing the daily sign-in.
Faced with the unbearable alarm and the irresistible temptation of money, Jiang Hang finally dragged himself out of bed with a long yawn.
Ten kilometers of running.
One hundred push-ups.
One hundred squats.
One hundred sit-ups.
At first glance, the tasks looked simple.
But for an average person, completing them in a single session was no small feat.
After running several laps around a nearby park, Jiang Hang was already struggling to breathe.
The ten-kilometer run alone took him nearly the entire morning.
Toward the end, Jiang Hang was jogging so slowly that his pace was barely faster than walking.
Unfortunately, the system required the ten kilometers to be completed in one continuous run. He couldn't break it up into separate sessions.
By the time he finished the remaining exercises and completed his first sign-in, the entire morning had already passed.
Thankfully, the assassin bloodline gave Jiang Hang faster physical recovery than ordinary people.
Otherwise, he probably would have collapsed halfway through the workout.
When Jiang Hang saw the one million yen reward appear after completing the sign-in, he suddenly felt confident that he could endure the training again tomorrow.
After resting throughout the afternoon, Jiang Hang began working on the preparations for his detective agency.
Fortunately, when you had money, most problems became much easier.
Both the office location and the legal procedures required to establish a detective agency could be handled through professional intermediaries.
Under the overwhelming power of money, the real estate agent quickly provided Jiang Hang with several suitable properties by evening.
After visiting them one by one, Jiang Hang ultimately chose a location that was neither too close nor too far from the Mouri Detective Agency.
If the offices were too close together, he might end up competing directly with Kogoro Mouri and causing unnecessary tension.
But the chosen location was only two streets away, meaning it was roughly a ten-minute walk.
If anything happened, he could easily get there.
At first, Jiang Hang had considered making a bold move—buying an entire floor of a commercial building near a train station and renovating it into a luxurious office.
Unfortunately, Tokyo's real estate prices were far from cheap.
Especially buildings near train stations.
Buying a single floor could easily cost several hundred million yen.
Not only did Jiang Hang lack that much money at the moment, but he also preferred a lifestyle similar to the Mouri Detective Agency—living and working in the same place.
Otherwise, commuting every day would feel like too much trouble.
Eventually, Jiang Hang rented an entire floor of a residential building next to a commercial street.
The yearly rent was 15 million yen.
The contract also included an option allowing him to purchase the property later if he had enough money.
After paying the rent, the renovation costs for the detective agency also turned out to be quite significant.
Since Jiang Hang wasn't short on funds, he decided to design the interior entirely according to his own comfort.
Naturally, this resulted in another large expenditure.
During the following days, Jiang Hang's life gradually settled into a simple routine.
In the morning, he completed his daily training.
In the afternoon, he checked on the renovation progress of his detective agency.
At night, he wandered around Tokyo completing the exploration missions assigned by the system.
Finally, just before the mission deadline expired, the detective agency was completely prepared.
All that remained… was the official opening.
