The aquarium was also an investment by my family.

Chapter 81 The aquarium? It was also an investment by my family.

"So, the Water card is a very powerful card?"

In Sakura's room, after Sakura had calmed down, Wang Changsheng talked to Xiao Ke and the others about the Clow Card incident.

"That's right, this card is very difficult for us to catch using ordinary methods." Xiao Ke nodded slightly, then sighed.

"Why?" Sakura tilted her head and looked at Kero, whose small eyes were searching for an answer.

"Because the water sign doesn't have a real physical form, it's just like its name suggests—a mass of water. In the water, there's no way we can grab the water sign." Xiao Ke shook her big head, then quietly opened her eyes and snatched a waffle from the plate in front of Wang Changsheng.

Seeing its greedy look, Wang Changsheng scoffed and ignored it.

"What should we do then?" Sakura scratched her head, looking troubled.

As if afraid that Wang Changsheng would snatch the pancake from its mouth, Xiao Ke wolfed it down and swallowed it whole.

"The Water card is a very high-level card. You should know that the four elements are earth, water, wind, and fire. Water is one of the four element cards, and its power can be directly drawn from heaven and earth."

After swallowing a waffle, Xiao Ke glanced warily at Wang Changsheng, and only after realizing that he didn't seem to be targeting her did she continue explaining to Xiao Ying.

"Like the Shadow Cards you captured before, although all Clow Cards can directly extract the power they need from the universe, after all, they are one of the laws of this world, and connecting with heaven and earth is their instinct."

"But there are differences between cards, and there are also differences in the rules."

Kero stroked his chin and shook his head as he explained to Sakura.

"Of course, the distinction between high and low here does not refer to social status or wealth, but rather to the strength of one's power."

"As the four elemental cards, the other elements are basically derived from these four cards. In other words, most other cards are inherently weaker than these four elemental cards. In addition to absorbing free magic, the Shadow Card also needs to manipulate the shadows of other people to make itself stronger."

"The Water Token is different. It doesn't need to plunder anything from others. There are plenty of water resources in this world, which the Water Token can use directly. It doesn't need to sneak around like the Shadow Token and collect other people's shadows. As long as there is water, it will be invincible."

After hearing Xiao Ke's explanation, Xiao Ying couldn't help but scratch her head.

"So what do we do now? If we let the sign leave the aquarium's drain, will we never be able to find it again?"

"That's very possible." Xiao Ke gently tapped its big head, stroking its chin as it recalled some past memories.

"Water card is an aggressive card, and this guy's personality... is terrible." Xiao Ke shook her head immediately when she thought of the times she was bullied by Water card.

It flapped its little wings and floated slowly in mid-air until it came to Sakura.

"Look, these three cards of yours are Wind, Shadow, and Fly." Kero counted Sakura's current cards, then shook his head. "None of these three cards can directly compete with the Water cards. If you use them, you'll only be overwhelmed."

At this point, Xiao Ke glanced at Wang Changsheng and said, "If this were in an aquarium, even with this brat, we probably still wouldn't be able to beat them."

"Huh? Why are you boosting others' morale while belittling your own?" Sakura pouted when she saw Kero saying that she was no good and that Xiao Wang was no good.

Why can't Xiao Wang do it?

She thought it was a good idea!

Although it may not seem that Xiao Wang is that great, I feel inexplicably at ease just being by his side.

"Besides, didn't you say wind is one of the four elements? Then why can't I beat water if I have a wind card?"

Even among the four elemental cards, there are differences in strength.

Seeing Sakura's blank expression, Xiao Ke rubbed his head.

"Even among cards of the same rank, water cards, as attack cards, are far more powerful than wind cards, which are gentle in nature. Wind cards are simply not suitable for combat."

Looking at Sakura, Kero explained, "If it weren't for the gentle nature of the Wind Card, it would have taken the opportunity to leave when you caused all the Clow Cards' magic to go out of control, allowing the other cards to escape wildly. But it didn't do that; instead, it stayed in your hands. Its original intention was to help you reseal the other lost Clow Cards."

"I think this might also be related to the fact that it accidentally caused a storm under the influence of your rampaging magic, sending all the Clow Cards away. It felt that it was partly at fault for this, so it stayed behind."

"Oh, I see..."

Hearing Xiao Ke's words, Xiao Ying couldn't help but scratch her head. She had always thought that the reason she had one card left was because she had held onto it.

"So what do we do now? You've said so much, but you should at least come up with a solution!"

Seeing Xiao Ke's dejected look, Xiao Ying couldn't help but say anxiously.

Today, they have witnessed firsthand the harm that water signs can cause at the aquarium. If they are not taken down as soon as possible, there is a possibility that more marine life and other humans will suffer from water sign attacks.

Once the sign gracefully leaves the aquarium through the drainage system, the world is so vast that they will never be able to find it again.

"I can't come up with a good idea right now, since you're asking me to. Anyway, let's go to the aquarium again."

Xiao Ke scratched its head. How could it possibly come up with a good idea to subdue the Water Sign all by itself?

Isn't this making things difficult for the sealed beast?

"You're such an idiot."

Just then, taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Ke was talking to Xiao Ying, Wang Changsheng, who had finally eaten two pancakes, said to Xiao Ke with satisfaction, "Since the water sign is in the water and can't be controlled, why don't we lure it out?"

"Lure him out? You make it sound so easy. You try luring one out yourself." Xiao Ke was furious when she heard Wang Changsheng's words.

This guy makes it sound so easy. Being in the water gives him a natural advantage. How can he be lured out like that?

Do you think people are willing to talk to you?

Seeing Xiao Ke's ignorant attitude, Wang Changsheng casually waved his hand, not angry at all.

"I know you're not very knowledgeable, but don't worry, I'll take care of drawing out the water sign." Wang Changsheng smiled slightly and took on the task.

Although the power of a large punch and a child's whip kick might be weakened when dealing with intangible things like water and shadows, making it impossible to trip them up or forcibly control them.

However, the alluring effect of these two causal magic spells remains.

If that weren't the case, he wouldn't need to worry about charging straight at someone and provoking their furious rage, causing them to chase after him.

When the time comes, with these two causal magic spells and my own verbal skills, how could I not show up for a mere water card?

"What a show-off ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ" Looking at Wang Changsheng's smug expression, Xiao Ke curled her lip and shrugged. "So, let's say you can lure the water token out of the water. But what can you do after that?"

"Even when it's not in the water, the water sign is still an intangible entity. It can change however it wants, so how can you control it?" Xiao Ke's voice carried a hint of disdain.

It racked its brains for a long time but couldn't come up with any way to solve the water sign problem. It didn't believe that a mere kid who hadn't even lived for ten years could come up with any good ideas.

"You don't believe me when I say you're ignorant, foolish, narrow-minded, and short-sighted. Tch~" Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes at Xiao Ke.

"What?! They actually used so many words to humiliate me!"

"Hmph! Then tell me, what good idea do you have?" Xiao Ke glared at Wang Changsheng, crossed her arms, and looked like she was watching a show.

"The method is naturally very simple." Looking at Xiao Ke's angry expression, Wang Changsheng smiled instead of getting angry. "Since water is soft and can be kneaded and shaped at will, changing its form, then we just need to make its body completely hard, right?"

"Hahaha!" As soon as Wang Changsheng finished speaking, Xiao Ke burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"You think you can just turn it into something like that? You're dreaming! Is it that simple? Besides, do you have the ability to turn a soft water sign into a hard, solid object? Or do you know some kind of ice magic?"

As he finished speaking, Xiao Ke began to scrutinize Wang Changsheng from head to toe.

This brat has given it a lot of questions. If the other party can also learn ice magic, then it won't find it too strange.

However, ordinary ice magic cannot suppress the water card.

So what if he knows ice magic?

Could they possibly freeze all the water in the aquarium?

Xiao Ke said: I don't believe it~

Wang Changsheng glanced at Xiao Ke, and just by looking at its expression, he knew what the guy was thinking.

"Don't blame others for being smart if you're stupid."

"What?!"

"Who are you calling stupid?" Xiao Ke glared at Wang Changsheng, gritting her teeth as she said, "Tell me, what brilliant idea do you have?"

"Aquariums must have a frozen section, right? A place to refrigerate food."

Wang Changsheng chuckled and said, "Go ahead and say it."

He turned his gaze to Sakura and Tomoyo.

"There are so many creatures in the aquarium, such as penguins, that need to be fed a lot of food every day. The aquarium can't possibly have someone bring in fresh fish food to feed them every day, can it?" Wang Changsheng's voice rang in Xiaoying's ears, making her eyes light up.

"So, Xiao Wang, what you mean is..." Xiao Ying blinked her dark green eyes, her gaze holding a captivating gleam, as she looked at Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng nodded slightly: "That's right. The aquarium must have a solid and reliable ice storage to freeze the fish food that needs to be fed to various marine creatures every day. Without other water resources to rely on, it will quickly freeze in the sub-zero environment of the ice storage by its own power. Even if it can change into various shapes, it doesn't matter. It will just make the ice sculptures more bizarre or more beautiful."

"Huh?"

Xiao Ke, who was staring at Wang Changsheng, was stunned upon hearing this.

This method does seem to work...

"So, Xiao Ke, what do you think of my method?" Wang Changsheng looked at Xiao Ke's somewhat dazed expression, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips. "Do you have any brilliant ideas to share?"

Message: Negative points from Cerberus +999

Hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Xiao Ke crossed her arms indignantly.

"Um, your suggestion, how should I put it... it's not that it's bad, but actually... I think... what's it really like?"

Message: Wang Changsheng's negative points +999

"Alright, stop spouting nonsense." Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes at Xiao Ke, then turned his gaze to Sakura and Tomoyo. "What do you guys think of my suggestion?"

"Hmm, this method might actually work." Xiaoying nodded repeatedly in agreement when she saw Wang Changsheng looking over.

She scratched her head again, looking somewhat troubled: "But there are still many problems we can't solve, like how do we draw out this Clow Card?"

Looking at Sakura's slightly furrowed face, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but find it adorable.

He chuckled softly, then said, "Didn't I say you could leave this to me? I'll take care of drawing it out. As for how to do that..."

Wang Changsheng's smile looked somewhat mysterious. He didn't continue speaking, simply telling Xiaoying to wait and see.

As Xiao Ke has also said, the Water card is a card with a very bad personality, extremely aggressive, probably second only to the Fire card.

Or perhaps the two are evenly matched, and neither will give way to the other.

With such a volatile temper, to put it simply, a few words of abuse would definitely provoke him. If the other party is willing to endure it and verbal provocation alone isn't enough to bring him to his senses, then he...

"Is that so? But how do we find the aquarium's ice storage?" Hearing Wang Changsheng's confident tone, Xiaoying nodded without saying anything more, choosing to believe him.

Then she raised another question: "Why don't I go find my brother? He works at the penguin enclosure and is in charge of feeding the penguins. He must know where the ice storage is."

Wang Changsheng also thought this was a good idea and was about to nod in agreement when Zhi Shi, who was sitting to the side and recording this strategic conversation with a camera, slowly spoke up: "No need to trouble Touya-nii. My family has also invested in this aquarium. I can just ask someone for it before we take action."

Sakura: "Uh..."

Wang Changsheng: "Huh?"

Xiao Ke: "Yay! Zhi Shi, as expected of you!"

Sakura and Wang Changsheng both looked at Tomoyo's confident smile, and then they nodded in unison.

Xiao Ke was very excited.

It seems the magician it chose is quite wealthy, a reliable and dependable person.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ke felt that its desserts for the rest of its life were secured. It waved its fist and shouted:

"Alright! In that case, it's settled then. Let's set off tonight and quickly subdue that card, lest things get complicated and the card cause any further harm."

Although Wang Changsheng had some doubts about the fact that Tomoyo's family had invested in almost every industry in Tomoeda Town, he was not surprised by their family's strength.

After all, Tomoyo is not only a member of the Daidouji family, but also a relative of the Amamiya family.

Therefore, both Daidoji Temple and Tengu Temple are Chiyo's support, or "home".

However, Wang Changsheng felt that the family Zhishi mentioned was most likely the Daidoji family. Of course, it didn't matter, since it was all their family anyway.

"Speaking of which, my uncle seems to know the old man of the Tiangong family."

Wang Changsheng suddenly remembered what his uncle had told him before he left: if he had any problems that Xiaoying's father couldn't solve, he could go to the old man of the Tiangong family.

"Didn't my uncle say back then that the old man liked me a lot?" Suddenly, Wang Changsheng recalled a detail.

"Or does Uncle mean that Grandpa really likes children, which is why he likes me?"

Because he was somewhat surprised that his uncle knew Sakura's father and the patriarch of the Tengu family, he didn't remember some of the details very well.

Especially the descriptions of such details, for a moment, made him somewhat confused.

"Could it be that Old Master Tiangong knows me?" Thinking of this possibility, Wang Changsheng's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhi Shi. "And Zhi Shi? Does she recognize me or not?"

When Zhi Shi saw Wang Changsheng's gaze fall on her, she looked back and then smiled sweetly.

Judging from her appearance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

"That's true. Although Zhi Shi's mother might be closer to Grandpa Tian Gong, everyone is so busy. Even if they know each other, I guess they've only met once or twice." Seeing Zhi Shi's usual behavior, and considering that Zhi Shi didn't know him at all when they first met, Wang Changsheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Even if I've met the old man, it was probably only once or twice when my uncle took me to live here. I guess it was to leave me a way out in the future."

Wang Changsheng felt that his speculation was not wrong, so he moved on from the topic and stopped thinking about it.

"Shall we go tonight?" Sakura hesitated for a moment after hearing Kero's question.

Is it a bit too rushed to go straight there tonight?

Seeing that Sakura seemed hesitant, Wang Changsheng didn't want to miss the good day of finding Shinichi Kudo tomorrow, since the chance to see Conan grow bigger and smaller was rare.

"I think tonight is a good night. Let's cut to the chase and resolve the Clow Card problem as soon as possible."
