Chapter 157 You Want to Choose, I Don’t Want It
"Of course not. Your only value to me is to make your sister my slave. Why do you want to replace your sister?" Li De asked indifferently.
"Master, my sister..." Miyano Shiho quickly stood in front of Miyano Akemi and explained, but she was interrupted by Li De before she finished.
"I know your sister spoke because she loves you, so I am not angry. I am just stating the facts. However, regarding your sister's value, I did miss a point. She does have some value.
The little value left is that you can work with peace of mind, so for your sake, Shiho, I am willing to give your sister a chance and give her two choices. "Li De waved his hand and said.
"Master, what is the choice?" Miyano Shiho couldn't help but ask.
"The first option is to sign a slave contract, so that I can allow your sister to stay and protect her from persecution by the organization. The second option is that for your sake, I will send her to the FBI and let your cousin Shuichi Akai protect her in the future." Li De looked at the two sisters and replied.
"cousin?"
"Akai Shuichi?"
The two sisters were stunned when they heard this.
"That's Zhu Xingda's real name." Li De explained casually.
"Which bastard?!"
"Great Lord?!"
The two sisters had obviously different expressions after hearing this. Miyano Akemi opened her mouth in disbelief, while Miyano Shiho's eyes were about to spit fire.
Don’t cheat your relatives like this!
Miyano Shiho knew very well what was happening in Moroboshi.
In fact, after he was found out to be a spy lurking in the organization, if it weren't for Miyano Shiho's support, Miyano Akemi would have been dealt with by Gin long ago.
So it’s okay if she doesn’t know. After knowing the truth, it would be strange if Miyano Shiho didn’t get furious.
"Akai Shuichi is the son of Akai Mari, also known as Sera Mari, and you are the daughters of Sera Mari's younger sister, Sera Elena. Your mother passed away very early, so you two don't know your relatives.
But Shuichi Akai's mother, Mari Sera, is still alive, but Shuichi Akai doesn't live with Mari Sera, so I'm not sure if Shuichi Akai knows that you are related."
After hearing Li De's explanation, Miyano Shiho became even angrier.
I originally thought that my two sisters were alone and helpless, but I didn't expect that they actually had blood relatives.
I never expected that the first time I learned about the existence of the parent-child relationship would be when a relative had betrayed my sister.
"How dare he!" Miyano Shiho really couldn't keep calm at this moment.
"Shiho." Miyano Akemi couldn't help but look at Miyano Shiho with a worried look.
"Sister, don't say anything. I will never forgive him." Miyano Shiho said firmly at this moment.
"Master, how is their family living?" Miyano Shiho seemed to have thought of something and asked Li De.
“How should I put it? It’s pretty bad, right? Your uncle Wuwu is an agent of M16. He disappeared for many years because of the organization’s pursuit. I don’t know whether he is dead or alive. Your aunt Akai Mary is also an agent of M16 and has also been hunted by the organization. Even recently, Vermodo succeeded once.
The only difference is that she didn't use a gun at that time, but APTX4869, so your aunt luckily survived. Now her condition is the same as Kudo Shinichi, both of them have become 7-year-old children.
Your oldest cousin Akai Shuichi joined the FBI early in his career and started investigating. Your second cousin Haneda Hideyoshi is in Tokyo, a 'Taikoku Master' in the shogi world. Your remaining cousin Sera Masumi has been following Akai Mary."
After hearing this, Miyano Shiho's anger dissipated a lot. After all, this relative's family was not having an easy time either.
What happened to my family? Why are they involved with the organization?
Either being controlled or being hunted, or being forced to hide their identities, there is no good in it.
Thinking of this, although Miyano Shiho still hated Akai Shuichi very much, she was not as angry with her relatives as before.
"So, what is your choice?" Li De then looked at Miyano Akemi and asked.
Hearing this, Miyano Shiho also looked at Miyano Akemi, but Miyano Shiho didn't say anything.
After all, staying in Japan, Shiho Miyano is very familiar with the local customs, and cousins can get married.
In other words, as long as Miyano Akemi goes to find Akai Shuichi, even if Akai Shuichi later finds out about Miyano Akemi's relative status, the two of them still have a future.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that Shuichi Akai can keep it secret, otherwise he will definitely be hunted down by the organization that learns the truth.
Miyano Shiho knew very well that her sister had feelings for her cousin, so she didn't say anything.
If there was no cost to staying, Miyano Shiho would still offer some advice.
But it is obvious that Li De is unwilling to do business at a loss, so Miyano Shiho will not take the initiative to drag her sister into it.
After all, Miyano Shiho didn't know what her future would be like after becoming Li De's slave.
"Please grant me a slave contract!" After a slight hesitation, Miyano Akemi chose her sister who she depended on for life. After all, she couldn't abandon her own sister.
As for Shuichi Akai, just let him consider himself dead.
"It's a bit surprising for me, but since you have made this choice, I won't regret it." After saying that, Li De exchanged a slave contract from the system mall and threw it in front of Miyano Akemi.
Miyano Akemi did not hesitate and directly followed the instructions to imprint her soul on it.
"Thank you for the gift, master!" After signing, Akemi Miyano said to Li De.
"Miyano Akemi, you will understand in the future that this is truly a gift." Li De said confidently.
Let’s put it this way, for a woman like Miyano Akemi who has no other special features except her slightly attractive looks, Li De is actually not willing to spend points to sign her.
This is not because Li De is arrogant, but after becoming Li De's property, Li De, a semi-obsessive-compulsive patient, will definitely use the points to improve her strength.
This is actually a bit of a loss for Li De.
Because no matter what, ordinary people like Miyano Akemi start at a lower level than women in the real world who are born with the seeds of extraordinary powers.
With the same resources, the heights that Akemi Miyano can reach are lower than those of Alpha and others.
If it weren't for Miyano Shiho, Li De would never have made this offer.
Another point is that after exchanging the master-slave contract for Miyano Akemi, Li De currently only has 90 points left. In other words, if Li De can't get Mao Lilan to sign the master-slave contract, then if Li De wants to leave this world, he must choose two paths that he doesn't like.
The first one is to find a new boyfriend for Mao Lilan who loves and cares for her, and let her live a happy life as described in the task requirements.
The second is that if he really can't find anyone, Li De can only do it himself and play the role of making Mao Li Ran happy, and then stay in this world for decades until Mao Li Ran dies of old age.
However, Li De did not like either of these two paths. The former would make him feel like he was being cheated on, while the latter would waste a lot of time, which would be very different from the forgiveness plan.
But it was Li De's fault for having spent his points too freely before, so when he entered the world of science, he only had 120 points left.
After the three master-slave contracts were signed, the remaining 90 points were not enough to buy even a mission acceptance card.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Li De has no plan for how to use the points.
In fact, when Nakamori Aoko was about to sign the contract, Li De was able to stop her in time.
In this way, he can save Nakamori Aoko's share and give it to Miyano Shiho, and then not sign Miyano Akemi. Then Li De will still have 110 points to turn around.
But even if the opportunity to obtain the mission acceptance card is really reserved, will Li De use it?
Li De knew very well that the answer was no.
He is very short of points now, and precisely because of this, he is reluctant to give up this task. Even if this task may not be completed according to his wishes in the end, he will not give up, but instead use up the remaining points to take on another task.
Because once he gives up this task, if he has to choose between the remaining two tasks, then at most he can complete the task in the Natsume's Book of Friends world, and keep 100 points in his hand to leave room for the next task.
But if all the selectable tasks are refreshed, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to complete the refreshed tasks, and there will be tasks with points exceeding 100.
It was precisely because of this that Li De did not stop Nakamori Aoko at the beginning, and now he did not care about letting Miyano Akemi consume 10 points.
He even has to spend 50 points to redeem a copy card for Miyano Shiho to copy the exclusive magic analysis obtained by Ita.
Li De believes that with the help of this magic, Shiho Miyano's research progress can be greatly accelerated.
In the blink of an eye, you probably don’t know how much time has passed.
The reason why Li De couldn't determine the exact time was because the chaotic timeline in the scientific world was quite overbearing, and even he couldn't avoid being affected.
Of course, Li De still has a rough means of determining the time.
The method is very simple. Just look at the number of cases related to Kogoro Mouri and the Junior Detective Team in the Metropolitan Police Department to roughly know the extent of the time lost.
However, Li De didn't care at all, mainly because Li De discovered a fact through the perception of vitality, that is, the Metropolitan Police Department has accumulated records of hundreds of solved cases, but the people in the world of science have not grown up.
In other words, this world is controlled by a chaotic timeline that jumps back and forth within a year.
As time jumps back and forth, the bodies of the people in this world are also restricted to one year.
If it weren't for the fact that Miyano Shiho's research and development technology had been accumulated during this chaotic time, Li De would have taken action to enlarge Kudo Shinichi and end this chaotic timeline.
It’s strange to say that even human life has been reset over time, but the technology developed has not.
This is probably the reason why the technology in the original work continues to advance.
Of course, this chaotic timeline is actually better for Li De. After all, Li De was affected, which means that the system did not work.
Does that mean that the system's time flow rate is also limited to one year?
You can accomplish countless years’ worth of work in one year, and at least you can make a lot of money in technology research and development.
However, this situation will only end today, because good news finally came from Miyano Shiho, and Li De is finally going to start his strategy against Mouri Ran.
In the past, in addition to focusing on Miyano Shiho's research, Li De occasionally cared about the progress of the friendship between Nakamori Aoko and Mao Li Ran.
And Nakamori Aoko did a good job in this regard and did not disappoint Li De. She just waited for Li De to give the order and then started laying the groundwork.
As for others, Claire has become the actual manager of the animation production company during this time.
Of course, Claire is also studying management, and she is combining theory with practice while studying.
The learning here is not self-study, but paying university professors to give private lectures.
That is because Claire's replacement identity is not suitable for direct entry into university, and letting Claire enter high school is a waste of time, so Li De directly hired a private tutor, not caring about the money anyway.
Although Rose and Elizabeth are still in their first year, they are like dry sponges, absorbing all kinds of knowledge and have almost completed all the courses in their majors.
The ones who really surprised Li De were Alexia and Miyano Shiho.
Let’s talk about Miyano Shiho first. She just called Li De and reported that the overall research progress of APTX4869 has officially exceeded 50%.
The current new APTX4869 can basically maintain a success rate of up to 80% for middle-aged people with good physical fitness.
If Alexia could use her healing abilities to condition the body of the recipient in advance and achieve the most ideal state of health, the success rate would be 100%.
Even middle-aged people have this success rate, not to mention young people.
However, for the elderly, the success rate is only over 50%, and this is the result of conditioning.
If you don't condition your body before taking the medicine and bring it to the best health state for your age, the mortality rate will still be as high as 100%.
But even such a result made Li De very surprised.
After all, what Li De required was to incorporate healing abilities into the process of rejuvenation, so Miyano Shiho's research results have actually achieved the goals set by Li De.
The only pity is that Shiho Miyano cannot adjust the age to reverse youth after using APTX4869.
What Li De actually wanted most was to return to the peak of his youth at the age of 18, rather than the childhood of 7.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can’t do it. After all, being able to regain youth is something that countless people dare not even think about, so how could you dare to make more excessive demands?
However, Li De knew the progress of every breakthrough made by Miyano Shiho, so Miyano Shiho was just responding to Li De's expectations.
The one who really gave Li De a big surprise was Alexia.
So what exactly is the surprise?
