Chapter 318 - Chapter 316: Modification!

The next morning.

Senich went to bed early and woke up in a good mood. He led his girlfriend and sister-in-law, as well as several other little ones including Haibara, for an early breakfast.

At the dining table, Conan, with panda-like eyes, absentmindedly had his breakfast while holding a book with subtle expressions, and started nibbling on it again.

"Conan, did you not sleep well yesterday?" Ayumi looked at Conan's dark circles with concern. "Are you okay?"

"You've turned into a giant panda and you're still reading," Genta quickly quipped.

"Let's eat quickly and get on the train to sleep when it comes," Mitsuhiko suggested.

Since the case rewards had already been settled, it meant that the case had been conclusively resolved and wouldn't change. Senichi had already booked his train ticket last night, ready to return to Tokyo.

As for the legal process after the Aramaki trial, that could be left to the local judges. With the overwhelming evidence and the heinous nature of the crime, the death penalty was almost certain.

Senichi, who was eating a sunny-side-up egg on the side, saw Conan in this state and guessed that he might have been stimulated by his own resolution to solve the case and stayed up late studying. So he said with concern, "Your health is the most important. Staying up late isn't a good idea."

"Time waits for no one. If I don't seize the opportunity, how can I catch up with my predecessors?" Because of the presence of Ran and others, Conan's words were quite cryptic, but his meaning was clear.

—If I don't do this, how can I surpass you and become the Holmes of the Heisei era?

My goal is to be the Holmes of the Heisei era!

With this in mind, Conan's determination in his eyes grew stronger.

Although Senichi didn't interpret as much from Conan's gaze, the determination in Conan's eyes was already quite evident.

I kindly advised you to rest, and you're already plotting to usurp the throne?

—You scoundrel, I misjudged you!!

"Food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked one step at a time," Senichi heard Conan's audacious declaration of war and, he didn't feel angry at all but said with a smile.

"I see..."

Upon hearing Senichi's comforting words, Conan felt a slight warmth in his heart. He hadn't even had the chance to express his gratitude when Senichi's next words shattered the little bit of emotion he had.

Senichi playfully rubbed Conan's head and said with a meaningful tone, "Anyway, you won't surpass me."

Darn it!

Give me back the feelings of admiration from earlier!!!

Conan angrily swatted away Senichi's hand that had been covering his head, and his face filled with frustration.

Just wait! I'm determined to surpass you sooner or later!

With resentment in his eyes, Conan glared at Senichi and then decided to go back to reading.

Unfortunately, under the suppression of his future wife, Ran, Conan eventually obediently put down the book and began eating his breakfast.

When they boarded the train, Conan, unable to resist his sleepiness any longer, leaned on Ran's shoulder and gradually fell asleep, sleeping all the way to Tokyo.

Back here, Senichi said his goodbyes to Dr. Agasa and the others, and took the Suzuki sisters back home with Izu specialties.

Senichi had a relatively pleasant time during this trip to Izu.

Although he unexpectedly encountered Conan, Senichi managed to prevent the case in advance, avoiding any bloodshed during the trip. At the same time, he received a decent reward, solving one of Senichi's major problems.

After sending the two sisters home, Senichi couldn't wait to modify his beloved car. However, to hit the road with his modified car, he needed to go through the proper procedures. So, Senichi patiently submitted the necessary paperwork and waited for the approval process to be completed.

Luckily, the process was relatively straightforward, and Senichi's paperwork was approved in just two days.

While waiting for the paperwork, Senichi also approached Suzuki Jirokichi, a car enthusiast, to help introduce a master of car modification and get some advice on modifications beyond the engine.

Although Suzuki Jirokichi offered to have someone else handle the entire modification, Senichi declined the offer and instead asked for help in designing a modification plan centered around the high-powered engine.

Senichi could have easily handed over the non-engine modifications to someone else, allowing him to focus solely on the engine installation. However, he hadn't forgotten about the additional functionality of the "Master-Level Skill Experience Card."

Based on his actions during the experience period, he would gain a certain level of insights and improvements.

So, in order to increase his skill level further, Senichi decided to get hands-on experience. After all, "practice makes perfect," and he believed that he could gain more by doing it himself.

He borrowed Suzuki Jirokichi's modification warehouse and purchased various parts that needed replacement.

On the same evening when the paperwork was approved, Senichi couldn't wait any longer and went to the warehouse with the parts that needed modification.

[Using the "Master-Level Skill Experience Card," select "Mechanical Modification."]

["Mechanical Modification" skill level temporarily reaches B-grade!]

While absorbing both unfamiliar and familiar knowledge in his mind and adapting briefly, Senichi started working on the entire car.

He began by focusing on the core, the engine, and after replacing its heart, he proceeded to modify other parts of the vehicle.

However, one hour is a very short amount of time, especially for a large-scale modification project like this, and there was hardly any time to make significant progress before the time ran out.

[Master Experience Card ends...]

[In this one hour, you physically modified a car, gaining a deeper understanding of the "Mechanical Modification" skill.]

[Through the master's experience, your "Mechanical Modification" skill has improved by two years!]

Perhaps because the skill level of "Mechanical Modification" was relatively low, after trying the master-level experience card, the skill level jumped from three years to D-grade (5 years).

This was a pleasant surprise, as it not only solved the problem of being unable to modify, but also provided an opportunity to enhance the skill experience. Senichi was now looking forward to the possibility of obtaining a grandmaster-level skill experience card in the future.

However, he felt that the difficulty might be quite high. Achieving a perfect skill level reward required perfect timing and circumstances, and even winning good stuff in random draw was uncertain.

But for now, he could focus on the master-level card.

In the System Mall, although items needed to be refreshed, the prices were listed for Senichi to view.

2000 Fate Points!!

This was the price of the "Master-Level Skill Experience Card." As a one-time consumable item, it was indeed a significant expense when compared to Senichi's ability to earn Fate Points.

However, if used in critical situations, it was definitely worth it!!
