Chapter 588 - Selina’s Progress and Gold Nugget’s Reward

Chapter 588 Selina’s Progress and Gold Nugget’s Reward

Bloodmint silently watched Luke work. Most of the wariness in her eyes finally disappeared. Hearing that, she shook her head. “I can’t wait anymore.”

Luke heaved a sigh. He typed and played, “Since Rebecca has already asked me, just tell me what you need.”

Bloodmint bit her lip for a moment before she shook her head. “No, this is my revenge.”

Luke heaved another helpless sigh and typed a long paragraph: “LAPD knows you’re back, and that you killed the lawyer, D.A. and the judge in that case. A word of advice: an appropriate disguise is still necessary.”

Bloodmint was silent.

Luke didn’t dwell on it. He dropped a card and left.

Only after he disappeared from the factory did Bloodmint pick up the card; there was nothing but a number on it. She hesitated for a moment, but still put the card in her pocket.

Luke returned home and was surprised to see Selina and the dog in the living room. “Why are you still up?” Selina looked at the dog and then said, “Haha. No reason. I just finished training and couldn’t fall asleep.” Luke hummed and said, “Go to bed early. Since we’re free tomorrow, I’ll give you a checkup in the morning.”

Selina nodded and quickly slipped off to her room with Gold Nugget.

Luke shook his head at the two guys. They needed to train their mental fortitude; they couldn’t look so guilty after doing something so small.

Just look at him. How many grand things had he done? But he was still a sunny young man!

The next morning, Luke gave Selina a physical checkup after breakfast.

Reading the data, he couldn’t help but look Selina up and down.

Selina asked, “What’s wrong?” Luke: “Your overall stats have increased by 3%, and your body fat percentage has returned to 17%. It seems the two of you discovered the trick to it.”

Selina chuckled. “What to fight right now?”

Luke thought for a moment before he nodded.

Stats were just fixed data, just like his 40 Strength.

Without his battle skills and abilities, his combat ability would’ve been less than half.

While Selina’s physical qualities had improved, it remained to be seen how much combat ability she had picked up.

The plug-in that was Gold Nugget couldn’t be as effective as Daddy System’s Super Learning Mode.

Picking up a hand target, Luke signaled that he was ready.

Selina’s fists reached him the next moment.

Luke raised an eyebrow and blocked it. “Your speed isn’t bad.”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Thunderous slaps rang out as Selina attacked fiercely and silently.

Ten seconds later, Luke opened his mouth. “Okay, stop holding back. You’ve been training for such a long time. It’s time to demonstrate your other moves.”

Hearing that, Selina paused for a moment, before she suddenly changed her style.

Different from her previous form that was like boxing, her new attacks were even fiercer. She kept punching and kicking at Luke’s vital parts, including his crotch, joints and throat.

Luke, however, fended off her attacks unhurriedly and remarked, “Now that’s progress.”

A minute later, Luke raised a hand and grabbed her fist. “Okay, enough.”

Selina was sweating a little, but she didn’t seem too exhausted. “Did you go easy on me?”

Luke smiled but didn’t say anything.

In terms of the system’s stats, Selina’s Strength and Dexterity had only increased by less than a point.

Without the corresponding boost in reality, she still had a long way to go before she could catch up with Luke.

But this was already frightening enough.

Her stats had improved by 3% after just ten days, and her body fat percentage hadn’t dropped.

If she continued to improve at this speed, she would be twice as strong in a year. At that moment, she was twice as strong as an ordinary person, and would be four times as strong if her strength doubled; she would be able to become part of the extraordinary crowd all on her own.

Also, this was only a measure of Selina’s own combat ability.

On top of that, she and Gold Nugget currently had a perfect symbiotic form, and Luke had yet to test her strength in that form.

It was mostly because Selina was unwilling to. She said that she wouldn’t use it because it was too eye-catching

Eventually, Luke only checked her stats for the incomplete symbiotic form.

After looking at the stats for a moment, he quietly erased all the data.

Absolutely nobody could learn of this data.

Selina’s strength was equal to Luke’s in the incomplete symbiotic form. Her dexterity was slightly lower, but not by too much.

More importantly, Selina boasted the ability to regenerate rapidly in that form, and her recovery was much faster than Luke’s Elementary Self-Healing.

In short, Selina’s incomplete symbiotic form was approximately equal to Luke who didn’t use extraordinary abilities.

Luke was a little concerned about this cheat-like symbiotic form.

But thanks to a series of fortuitous events, the odds that Gold Nugget would cause Selina harm were very slim, so Luke didn’t take further action.

He would rather have Gold Nugget protect her than kick it away for the potential harm it might bring

As the person closest to Luke, Selina would inevitably run into certain supervillains.

If she wasn’t strong enough, he could only have her switch to office duty in the future for her own safety.

He commended Selina after the checkup.

Watching her leave to take a shower, Luke grabbed the dog that was trying to slip away with her. He crouched down and asked, “What about you?”

Dollar blinked its small eyes in confusion. Luke: “Stop playing dumb! I asked you before to check if your own abilities have improved. Don’t say that you forgot.” Seeing the threat in the fiend’s eyes, the dog immediately cringed and said, “Yes, a little.” Luke: “What do you mean by ‘a little’?” The dog looked at him and said carefully, “It’s similar to Selina.”

Luke: “By similar, you mean there’s still a gap?”

The dog hesitated. “That’s not something I can calculate easily…”

However, seeing the fiend narrow his eyes, the dog confessed in a hurry, “Fine, I only ever eat half of the special energy in her body every time, and I return the other half to her. That’s very fair, right?”

Luke rubbed Dollar’s head. “That’s good. Remember, if you make a huge mistake, don’t blame me for only giving you ten percent of it.”

The dog shivered. “Got it.”

Luke stood up. “Stop acting. As a reward, I’ll give you a tablet just for you in a couple of days.” The dog immediately wagged its tail. “Really? Really?”

Luke: “Really, really. Go, it’s time to work.”

The dog followed him out with obedient delight. “Really? For real? It’s really ‘my’ very own?”

“Don’t forget the safety rules. If you speak when we’re outside the house, I’ll cut down your number of snacks,” Luke warned.

The dog immediately fell silent, but then it began to whine as it switched to asking the same question in a different language. Luke could only roll his eyes and ignore it.
