That's right, after buying the car, Senichi took out the engine, ready to hastily modify the car, but suddenly realized a problem.
That problem was that he didn't know how to modify cars.
Moreover, the roaring engine he obtained couldn't just be exposed carelessly, or handed over to just anyone for modifications.
After all, that was cutting-edge future technology. If someone discovered any clues that couldn't be explained, he would be in trouble.
This thing was different from the props Senichi had used before. This kind of "major component" was completely beyond the scope of 'Detective Conan World''s understanding.
This conclusion was based on the consideration of all factors, such as the industrial chain, high-end technology, and so on. In simple terms, it couldn't be obtained easily.
He had successfully prevented cases and planned rewards daily through plot developments with great care. Senichi didn't want to mess up and be punished over something like this, wasting the fate's favor that he had worked so hard to accumulate.
Feeling a bit down, Senichi originally planned to use his unallocated skill points for car modification skill and do it himself.
But after gaining a little knowledge about it, he realized that replacing the engine required a high level of technical skill, at least a year's worth of skill points. It wasn't something Senichi could easily accomplish on his own.
So, Senichi simply gave up on the idea of using skill points to forcibly achieve it. It would be too wasteful.
Anyway, given the current situation, the original car combined with Senichi's driving skills was already sufficient. In the end, Senichi chose to put the idea aside for now.
However, buying the car still made Senichi quite happy. After all, he is a man, and men naturally love cars~
After the previous incident involving Kaito Kid, Senichi had been leading a leisurely and comfortable life.
Because Senichi had made money.
It wasn't about how much money he made, but the way he earned it was what brought him pleasure - it was all about luck.
During a casual conversation at an afternoon tea party held by Miss Natsumi Kousaka, Senichi and Kogoro Mouri unexpectedly talked about horse racing.
In his previous life, Senichi had only heard about this through the internet, but when he heard Kogoro Mouri talk about horse racing, he suddenly remembered that Japan still had this game.
For someone who hadn't experienced it before, Senichi naturally wanted to give it a try. It was purely for the sake of trying it out. Thus, he was dragged into the pit by the well-intentioned Kogoro Mouri.
However, Senichi, a newcomer, wouldn't understand the high-end world of horse racing or anything like that. He was purely relying on luck when playing this.
But surprisingly, he won, and not just once.
Of course, Senichi wasn't randomly picking horses. First, he ruled out the horses selected by Uncle Mouri, who had led him into this hobby. Then, he relied on his intuition.
After all, as long as he excluded the horses chosen by Kogoro Mouri, he basically increased his chances compared to when others were making their choices.
This isn't baseless talk. Kogoro Mouri losing all his money in horse racing and ending up broke isn't surprising at all. If it weren't for Conan and Ran keeping an eye on him, Kogoro Mouri would have definitely played horse racing until he had no money left.
Even if he did win, it was almost certain that the winning ticket wouldn't be his, and he would get entangled in a case.
So, the first step was to rule out the horses selected by Kogoro Mouri, which was a tactically advantageous move.
In the beginning, Kogoro Mouri, as the "senior" who had introduced him to this, confidently gave him guidance.
Out of respect, Senichi naturally followed his advice a few times, and the results were as expected.
Then, Senichi started making his own choices. At first, Kogoro Mouri was quite displeased, feeling that this rookie was unwilling to be guided by an experienced hand and was just randomly making choices.
So, he confidently declared that Senichi would definitely not win, and so on.
But the respect for the introduction had already been given, and from then on, Senichi chose to play on his own. Of course, due to his rookie status, he also dragged Conan into it.
And so, the world's favorite son, combined with Senichi, who had gained Fate's favor through multiple tasks and had quite a bit of luck, embarked on a path of winning more and losing less.
This was what brought joy to Senichi, and at the very least, it indicated that their efforts in solving so many cases were not in vain!
As for money and such, those things weren't important.
What was important was this expression of being favored by the world, bringing happiness to Senichi.
Whether World's will like you or not, the importance of that goes without saying.
The difference between being a "Winner in Life" and "Death is coming" is right here. If you want to live comfortably until the grand finale and to pass through peaceful everyday life, apart from improving your own abilities, Fate's favor is also an important factor.
However, while Senichi was enjoying himself, the previously confident and experienced Kogoro Mouri had been suffering a losing streak and couldn't save face.
…
Taking a break today, in the morning, Senichi accompanied Ayako to make clay pottery. The detailed process of making cute and affectionate "couple cups" wouldn't be included here to avoid making the readers sad~
After finishing, it was lunchtime, and naturally, the two went to the Erina's restaurant to continue enjoying the delicious dishes from the hidden menu.
During the meal, Senichi received a call from Kogoro Mouri, who wanted him to come over and see the results of the horse race they had bet on earlier, hoping to save some face.
Coincidentally, Ayako had mentioned earlier that she and her mother, along with her sister, would be going shopping in the afternoon. So, Senichi readily accepted Kogoro Mouri's challenge.
Although Senichi didn't know where Kogoro Mouri's mysterious confidence came from, in his eyes, it was nothing more than the lament of a defeated dog, a result of being crushed by the will of the world!
Just like how Ran always wins in mahjong, and every round feels like cheating, Kogoro Mouri's horse racing bet was undoubtedly a situation of inevitable losses.
Unless?
Oh, that would be the prelude to a case.
So, leisurely arriving at the Mouri Detective Agency, Senichi and Kogoro Mouri delightfully watched the upcoming race result on the retro TV set in the office.
However, at this crucial moment, a phone call interrupted them.
"What? You want to find someone?"
"Yes, there's someone I really want to meet, no matter what."
"Um... I'm really sorry, but I'm quite busy right now with some matters. I can't..."
Kogoro Mouri nervously glanced at the horse race on the TV, distractedly trying to dismiss the call.
"The fourth lap has begun! All the participants have entered the fourth lap!"
"Hey! Don't block my view, it's about to get to the crucial moment!" Distracted by the horse race on TV, Kogoro Mouri covered the phone and shouted at Ran, who was cleaning nearby.
"That's the situation. Could we talk another time?" After shouting, Kogoro Mouri immediately let go of the phone, giving a half-hearted excuse.
"Is there really no way? Actually, I'm near your agency right now. If possible, I'd just like to have a talk."
"And the ultimate winner is Lightning Boy! With a lightning-fast sprint, he had the last laugh, becoming the champion of the Autumn G1 race!!"
Seeing this result, Senichi and Conan exchanged smiles and high-fives to celebrate.
Ah, they won again~
