The enchantress proprietor of the Misfortune Tavern was indeed a considerate and kind-hearted person. After downing a glass of "Midnight" in one gulp, Danton began to complain, "Why is it that as a holy knight, I have to be accompanied by a group of followers from the dark forces?" "Sometimes, pretending to be a death knight isn't so bad!" the proprietress insincerely comforted, then scolded a few busty succubus maids who kept rubbing against Danton. "No one wants to deal with undead creatures all day long. With them around, I can't even attract a single girl," Danton lamented. "The ghoul legion doesn't care about anything other than fresh meat. They consistently skip their classes on gentlemanly conduct. The abomination legion has become obsessed with bandages, thinking that slightly yellow linen is the epitome of fashion. They've wrapped themselves up like mummies. Even the succubus maid legion is openly demanding paid vacations!" "Forget about those troubles. We've captured some sacrificial dancers today. Would you like to stay and enjoy their performance?" the proprietress suggested. "No, the crops on the farm are ripe. I have to go back and keep an eye on those ogre slaves, or they'll slack off!" Leaving behind three gold coins from Lordaeron, Danton walked out of the Misfortune Tavern, feeling frustrated.

I once captured criminals in the Marvel world, punishing evil and injustice. I also helped Nobita achieve his dreams in Doraemon. And as the Men in Black, I engaged in intellectual battles with extraterrestrial beings. From Pacific Rim to Big Hero 6, from Transcendence to The Three-Body Problem, from The Wandering Earth to countless other worlds, I left my footprints in each of them. I'm just an ordinary tech geek, doing all this with the simple purpose of bringing the futuristic technology back to the real world and making the dull reality a little more sci-fi. Global Daily: Mr. Lu, how do you feel about being hailed as the greatest inventor of the 21st century by netizens? Lu Cheng: I'm truly humbled. I have only made insignificant changes to the world. Netizens: So, Iron Man suits, Gundam, magnetic levitation cars, quantum teleportation gates, interstellar spaceships... are these all just insignificant toys?

I, Shinichiro Sano, am a traveler with a system. Although the tasks from the system are all strange, the rewards are even more...refreshingly unique. For example, a hammer that can't cause any damage, a scooter that goes incredibly fast, a coat that makes you lose your sense of direction after wearing it, sunglasses that make it impossible to tell humans from animals within a radius of five hundred meters, and so on... What? You're asking how I can live better in this world? Shinichiro Sano chuckles and puts on a disguise: In the world of rivers and lakes, one cannot avoid getting caught. If you want to avoid getting caught, you have to create multiple identities. The more disguises I have, the more amusing it is. I'll be the one waving the flag for the liquor factory. When Shuichi Akai asked Conan how he views the Black Organization, Conan responded like this: The Black Organization? Although they may act violently, they're all good people...
