Chapter 1311 The Beginning of WSG

The world's largest sporting event, the WSG World Sports Congress, is about to be held in Tokyo.

Today is the day of the WSG sponsor send-off party, and the Suzuki Foundation, as the largest sponsor, is naturally among those invited.

Thanks to Sonoko Suzuki, Yuya, Shiho Miyano, Conan, Ran Mouri, and the three little devils from the Detective Boys also came to the send-off ceremony at the Shibahama View Hotel.

The most eye-catching part of the opening ceremony was the unveiling of the vacuum superconducting maglev train, which integrates the latest technologies and boasts a top speed of 1000 km/h.

Yuya was amazed as he watched the concept demonstration video on the big screen. He remembered that before he transmigrated, this technology was still in the theoretical stage. He never expected to see it actually appear in the world of Detective Conan.

The host introduced the train's features, such as how it would first depart between New Nagoya Station and the newly established Shibahama Station in Tokyo.

The Shibahama View Hotel, where the opening ceremony was held, has direct access to Shibahama Station via an underground passage, and the main venue for the WSG opening ceremony next month, the Shibahama Gymnasium, also has direct access to Shibahama Station.

Taking WSG and new technology trains as an opportunity, a new high-traffic area will be developed centered on Shibahama Station.

The three little devils listened to the host's introduction with great seriousness.

Genta frowned and suddenly asked, "What is WSG?"

Ayumi put her hands behind her back and shook her head cutely: "Ayumi doesn't know either."

Mitsuhiko stroked his chin, pondering, "I think it was..."

"WORLD SPORTS GAMES, or WSG for short, is held every four years. It is the world's largest sporting event, bringing together athletes from all over the globe to compete for honor for their respective countries..."

Yuya suddenly appeared, ruffled Ayumi's hair, and explained the meaning of WSG. (A virtual sporting event, which is actually the Olympics.)

Following behind were Shiho Miyano and two others.

"Wow! That's amazing!" The three kids' eyes lit up, and Genta even shamelessly declared that he wanted to participate in the future.

Yuya's lips twitched slightly. "If you want to participate in WSG, you'd better find a way to lose some weight, otherwise you'll only be able to participate in sumo wrestling. By the way, does WSG even have this competition?"

At this point, the host announced the passenger list for the maiden voyage of the vacuum superconducting maglev train, which included representatives of the sponsors present today, as well as representatives of WSG associations from various countries.

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen switched to display rows of portraits and their basic information.

"Next, let's welcome Mr. Alan Mackenzie, President of WSG, to deliver a speech on behalf of this event!"

On the big screen, Alan Mackenzie's portrait was instantly enlarged, and his plant information was clearly visible.

One of them immediately caught Yuya and Conan's attention—the FBI director.

A video of Alan Mackenzie's video call began playing on the big screen.

"Hello, friends from Japan! I look forward to attending the opening ceremony of the Tokyo WSG with you and riding the world's first vacuum superconducting maglev train together."

The video was very short, almost like a pre-recorded video, but the audience still politely gave it a warm round of applause.

The host first thanked Alan Mackenzie for his speech, and then announced some good news—in addition to the people just mentioned, a group of ordinary people would be randomly selected to experience the inaugural train.

Upon hearing this news, the three little devils immediately became excited.

"Great! Does that mean we can get on the inaugural train too?"

Conan, however, remained clear-headed and said to them, "Aren't you all getting ahead of yourselves?"

Ayumi asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Yu also reminded them, "The host just said it's a lottery, right? With so many people, let alone the three of you winning together, what are the odds of even one of you winning?"

Anyway, he had no hope. If you were to ask who among the people present was, it would probably only be Ran Mouri, the lucky one.

The three little devils immediately wilted, and Genta even muttered something about being stingy.

Mitsuhiko stroked his chin, his eyes lighting up: "No, there's still a way. I remember the Suzuki Group has several sponsors, right? They're the biggest sponsors, so getting a few spots shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Ayumi and Genta immediately perked up: "That's right, that's right!"

"Nonsense! You guys have a lot of wishful thinking."

Sonoko Suzuki walked over and mercilessly mocked the three kids' wild ideas. Behind her were her parents, Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki.

Sonoko Suzuki scoffed, "How could you just give away a platinum-level VIP ticket like that?"

The three little devils' faces immediately fell down.

Suzuki Shiro, however, smiled and said, "Alright, Sonoko, let's ask first."

Tomoko Suzuki chimed in, "That's right, the train tickets for the children shouldn't be a problem."

The three little ones immediately looked at the Suzuki couple with admiration.

Sonoko Suzuki complained, "Dad, Mom, you spoil these kids too much!"

The three little ones were very dissatisfied.

"Please don't interrupt!"

"We'll get our train tickets soon!"

"Don't get in my way!"

The three little devils chattered away, making Sonoko Suzuki's forehead veins bulge.

She put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "You lot, you should be grateful you even showed up here today, and you dare to talk to me like that!"

The three little ones froze.

That's right. If it weren't for Sonoko Suzuki's invitation, they would probably be at home watching Kamen Rider right now. How could they have had the chance to attend such a grand event?

They readily bowed their heads in humility: "I'm sorry! Thank you!"

Sonoko Suzuki snorted smugly, "You little brats are no match for me."

At this moment, a staff member came over and politely said that the food truck needed to be parked here, and asked everyone to make way.

Everyone immediately left to make room for the food truck.

Food carts were pushed in one after another, their lids lifted, and the aromas instantly filled the air—beef, seafood, desserts, sushi… making mouths water.

“Looks delicious!”

"Let's eat more, we must eat our money's worth!"

"Genta, only those who pay can say things like that..."

Watching the three kids excitedly rush into the pile of food, Conan couldn't help but remark, "Their mindset changes so quickly."

Just a moment ago he was sulking and arguing with Sonoko Suzuki, but the next second he was eating heartily.

Yuya smiled and said, "They're just kids, much younger than us."

Conan was both amused and exasperated: "Young? We're only teenagers, you know!"

Yu also glanced at Conan sideways—wearing a small suit, holding a glass of juice, one hand in his pocket, with an old-fashioned expression on his face, he joked, "Really? I feel like you're an old man."

Conan's lips tightened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You want a beating, don't you?"

Yu raised an eyebrow: "Come on? Who's afraid of who?" He then swung his fist.

Conan's brow twitched. He knew that Yuya wasn't just talking; she would actually take action. To avoid getting a bump on his head, he took a half-step back, thinking, "I won't stoop to your level."

Just then, the venue suddenly went dark.

A sudden rustling sound arose, and the people in the room began to panic.
