Low-IQ Detective Simulator

Bai Chuanfeng got a low-intelligence detective simulator for free. Its intelligence cap was one, the only available career was detective, and the condition for clearing the game was to deduce a major case. The name sounded silly, but the actual game was exquisitely made.

So he started playing.

[You were born. Congratulations, your randomly assigned stats are Intelligence 0, Strength 10, Constitution 10, and Detective Instinct 10.]

[Age one. Your mother named you Yoshino Yota. You have a mother and an older brother, and live in a happy family.]

[Age five. You still can't talk and can only smile. Your literacy is zero, and your mother and brother are very worried.]

[Age eight. Your Constitution of 10 has made you 180 centimeters tall, with perfect muscles and an imposing presence. You rule your elementary school. That same year, your brother takes you to the sewer to meet his friend. You punch the air and accidentally kill your brother's imaginary friend, who was actually there. Your brother is very sad.]

[Age nine. You are known as the Wolf of Toto. While on a family trip to Okinawa, you come across a man bullying a girl and help her. Two very large high school students regard you as a master from another world and a kindred spirit.]

[Age ten. Strange high school students find your house. After learning from your brother that you have an intellectual disability, they remain silent for the entire afternoon.]

[Age fifteen. Using your instincts, you deduce a conspiracy that has spanned a thousand years.]

[Congratulations on clearing the game. You have unlocked a rare identity: A musclebound idiot detective who relies on instinct.]

On the screen, an extremely tall, black-haired, blue-eyed man smiled. His eyes were exceptionally clear, shining with a childlike light.

Bai Chuanfeng took a screenshot and started another game.

[You were born. Congratulations, your randomly assigned stats are Intelligence 1, Constitution 0, Vitality 10, Detective Instinct 10, and Family Background 9.]

[Age one. At the elders' request, Gojo Satoru gives you a name. You receive your new name, Gojo Raku, from the five-year-old head of the family, because Gojo Satoru thinks the way you smile without eyebrows is hilarious.]

[Age five. Gojo Satoru says you have only one month to live. The next second, you start vomiting blood nonstop, and chaos erupts.]

[Age fifteen. You have spent ten years vomiting blood and staying alive. Gojo Satoru is astonished by your vitality.]

[Age twenty. You keep vomiting blood and living. You become a teacher at the technical college, and on your first day on the job, you solve the mystery of the technical college ghost that has persisted for ten years.]

[Congratulations on clearing the game. You have unlocked a rare achievement: The detective who lasts the longest is the one who survives to the end.]

On the screen, a handsome, slender, white-haired, blue-eyed man had a collar stained a vivid red with blood. He showed a smile with bloodstained teeth.

Screenshot. Next game.

[You were born. Congratulations, your randomly assigned stats are Intelligence 1, Luck 10, Supernatural Ability 10, and Happiness 9.]

[Age ten. You are captured by a criminal, who shoots at you. The bullet ricochets several times before hitting the criminal himself. Your ridiculous luck is beginning to take effect.]

[Age fifteen. Just as you say you're going to deduce the clues and catch the criminal, a fugitive pursued by the police falls out of the sky into a trash can beside you. You become famous overnight.]

[That same year, you join the Armed Detective Agency. The president believes your supernatural ability, called Good Luck, is constantly active. You loudly protest, "That's not good luck. It's my detective instincts at work." In the ensuing silence, Yokohama's greatest detective covers his face with a book.]

[Age sixteen. While walking down the road and eating, you find a blank page drifting to your feet. You learn the truth of the world.]

[Congratulations on clearing the game. You have unlocked an achievement: Catching criminals with 100% success, even without any deduction process.]

A smiling young detective appears on the screen, holding a textless manga. He wears plain glasses and strikes a classic thinking pose.

Screenshot, screenshot…

You took countless screenshots in the game, and felt an endless joy.

After playing several immersive games, Bai Chuanfeng decided to treat the game as the divine playground of his life.

Some ordinary pink-haired high school student passing by with a lollipop hair accessory: ...What an unheard-of supernatural ability holder. At least he's fundamentally a lawful-good player, which saves us a lot of trouble.

1. The story is told in third person. It's not a particularly conventional simulator story and includes a lot of my own headcanons.

2. Everyone gets a happy ending.

3. No identity reveal. Bai Chuanfeng is a firmly lawful-good player, not the fourth natural disaster type.

4. The blurb has been saved in a screenshot.

Theme: Believe in yourself and work hard. We can all make our own way in life.
