"Today we are learning arithmetic, 1+1=2."

"2+2=....."

Situ Xiu looked at the teacher on the podium, sighed inwardly, and thought to himself that at almost 30 years old, he now had to learn 1+1 again.

Fate can be cruel.

Situ Xiu glanced at his palm; this was the hand of a 7-8 year old child, and his body was also about 7-8 years old.

This all started about half a month ago. Situ Xiu remembered that night when he worked overtime until 11 PM. On his way home, he happened to see a rare meteor in the night sky over the city.

After watching the meteor, Situ Xiu arrived home, washed up, and comfortably fell asleep. When he woke up, everything had changed.

He found himself in a strange world, his body shrunk to the size of a 7-8 year old child.

"Classmate Situ, what is 3+3?"

Situ Xiu, who was lost in thought looking at his palm, suddenly snapped back to reality. All the children around him were looking at him. He looked up to see the teacher's stern gaze, stood up, and chuckled, saying, "Teacher, 3+3 equals 6."

"Classmate Situ answered correctly."

The teacher nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Situ Xiu and criticized, "But Classmate Situ must pay attention in class and not daydream while looking at your hand."

"I understand, Teacher, it won't happen again."

"Good, sit down and listen carefully."

The class time passed quickly. Situ Xiu listened attentively, feeling quite helpless. He wondered if it was because he had transferred schools that he was often singled out by the teacher, who would frequently ask him questions.

This kind of elementary teaching was too simple for Situ Xiu.

If it weren't for the trouble, Situ Xiu might have lain down and slept, but that would have caused endless trouble, and he might even have been called to the principal's office.

If his strange behavior attracted the attention of some gossip reporters and spread, it would draw even more attention, making things even more complicated.

Sometimes big things start from small issues, Situ Xiu believed.

Moreover, he himself had a problem, and this place was...

"Classmate Situ, let's go to Dora Park on Sunday, okay?"

Situ Xiu looked up to see a cute little girl speaking. Her name was Yoshida Ayumi. Beside her was a chubby little boy named Kojima Genta.

"Right, Classmate Situ, let's go to the amusement park together. I heard the eel rice there is delicious," Genta said excitedly, drooling.

"It's settled then. We'll invite Hattori too, and the four of us will go to the amusement park on Sunday."

Situ Xiu opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, the two of them happily left, and he smiled helplessly.

Yoshida Ayumi, Kojima Genta, and Hattori Mitsuhiko were very familiar names. Since this was Teitan Elementary School, it was clear that this was the world of Detective Conan.

Only one person was missing: Conan, the child in disguise.

When Situ Xiu realized he was in the world of Conan, it was from a newspaper article.

"High school detective Kudo Shinichi perfectly solves a series of murders."

"The truth is always only one! — Kudo Shinichi."

"Renowned detective Kudo Shinichi, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, hailed as the savior of the Japanese police."

"......"

The headlines of all major newspapers were about Kudo Shinichi, and even the entertainment news was reporting his name, as if all industries belonged to the Kudo family.

A series of reports about the 17-year-old high school student Kudo Shinichi made it impossible for Situ Xiu to ignore him, unless he was a naive child uninterested in adult matters.

After realizing he was in the world of Conan, Situ Xiu felt a mix of emotions but was also relieved. Compared to a completely unfamiliar world, a familiar one provided a sense of security.

Thinking about it, he even felt a bit of joy that he hadn't been transported to the world of One Piece, Naruto, or Dragon Ball.

Each of those worlds was more terrifying than the last.

Situ Xiu believed that in the world of Conan, as long as he kept a low profile, he could enjoy a simple life with food and play, and there wouldn't be many dangerous situations, especially since he was in the body of an 8-year-old child, unable to do much.

Often, things seem perfect in theory, but reality is far from it.

A few days after his arrival, Situ Xiu suddenly heard a strange voice. Confused, he realized the voice was coming from his mind, and he was stunned.

"This system is now officially converted to a chat system, connecting to all worlds."

All worlds!

Situ Xiu's consciousness seemed to enter a new realm, the chat interface.

After checking, he found that he was the only person in the chat group and the group owner.

There was no limit to the number of members, unlike the 500-member limit in his previous life.

The chat group was a level 0 group, and upgrading to level 1 required 10,000 points.

The chat group had a notice board and a group store.

These were the things Situ Xiu currently understood. As for other functions, he would have to discover them over time.

With a chat system, Situ Xiu's easy life was over. He wanted to know more about the system's functions after upgrading.

What worried him was how to earn points.

Ding ding ding!

Classes ended, and it was soon time to go home.

Situ Xiu walked out of the classroom and to the school gate, where he saw a white car parked by the roadside. It was his family's driver, Tanaka, waiting for him. Just as he was about to head over, he heard Ayumi's voice.

"Classmate Situ, don't forget our Sunday plans."

Situ Xiu turned around to see Ayumi, Genta, and Hattori running over. He smiled and nodded, "Sure, we'll go to the amusement park on Sunday."

"It's settled then," Genta said happily.

Situ Xiu had no reason to refuse. To fit in with the children, he needed playmates. He couldn't play with adults, as that would seem strange.

Moreover, these children in the world of Conan were not only enthusiastic but also had a sense of justice and responsibility, making them good kids.

Even the cold-hearted Ai was gradually warmed by these children.

Wait!

In the future, he could go on adventures with Ai.

Together...

Spit, spit, spit, what was he thinking?

Situ Xiu got into the car. He wasn't doing this for Ai; he was just a child, and he wanted to build friendships with his classmates.

Yes, friendship, an invaluable treasure.

The three children watched the car drive away. Genta said, "Classmate Situ's family must be super rich."

Hattori agreed, "Yeah, he has a private car to take him to and from school."

"Let's go home too. We'll take Classmate Situ to have fun on Sunday," Ayumi said with a smile.

"Sure, I'll take Classmate Situ to the best eel rice place."

...

Situ Xiu sat in the car, looking at the driver, Tanaka, and recalling the day he was transported.

That day, he woke up in a luxurious villa, his body that of a 7-year-old child. In a state of panic and fear, an old woman appeared before him.

Situ Xiu was very anxious. The unfamiliar person, place, and smaller body made him feel unsafe.

"Do you remember anything from before?"

The old woman's question made Situ Xiu silently shake his head. He was surprised to understand her Japanese.

"Two days ago, you hit your head. Your name is Situ Xiu, my grandson."

The old woman paused, "You might have amnesia. Rest well, and you might remember."

Grandson!

Situ Xiu looked at the old woman; she was his grandmother.

In a daze, Situ Xiu found himself with a wealthy grandmother who doted on him.

True or false, false or true!

Situ Xiu, still a child, didn't think much and accepted this identity.

His parents were absent, and he lived with his grandmother in the villa, along with a butler and servants.

Situ Xiu didn't act like an adult and obediently lived as a child.

His grandmother didn't ask many questions and treated him like a child.

Soon, Tanaka drove him home. Situ Xiu got out of the car and saw the old butler, Fukuda, waiting for him.

"Master," Fukuda called.

Situ Xiu nodded, "Fukuda, I'm a bit tired. I want to rest. Don't disturb me unless it's important."

"Understood, Master," Fukuda replied.

Situ Xiu walked into the house, returned to his bedroom, put down his backpack, closed the door, and lay on the bed, closing his eyes.

Situ Xiu's consciousness entered the chat group, looking at the member, Shigeru.

Shigeru: 10 years old, Pokémon world, a genius from Pallet Town, the grandson of Professor Oak.

Pokémon, Situ Xiu had seen. The story begins with the protagonist, Satoshi, starting his adventure to become a Pokémon master, and his first rival is Shigeru.
