Once again, Luke's willpower was sublimated.
He chose to leave Shackelford and return to New York to officially start work before he revealed the prize.
The reward after patience was always sweeter.
It was just like when a person was hungry, they would say that fried rice was delicious.
The difference was that Luke was certain that the Destroyer's remains definitely wasn't ordinary fried rice. It definitely smelled delicious.
The remains could be converted into 50000 credit points, which was more than double the 20000 credit points of Blackheart's evil thoughts.
He looked forward to seeing what new functions the inventory module would have after being modified again.
That was Luke's biggest gain from the battle with the Destroyer.
The rest of the experience and credit points weren't much.
System: Destroy the Destroyer and save the residents of Shackelford and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Mission accomplished.
Total experience: 10000. Total credit: 10000.
Contribution rate: 30%. EXP + 3,000. Credit + 3,000.
Host's experience/53300/300000. Credit + 81000.
He had earned 3,000 experience and credit points just by playing support, which was already beyond his expectations.
But he had less than 100,000 credit points, and Thor's abilities easily required thousands of credit points.
That Advanced One-Handed Hammer Weapon Proficiency even cost two million credit points. Luke suddenly felt that he was too poor.
What was comforting was that he had never considered using a one-handed hammer as his main weapon.
Secondly, this ability was gray, and he didn't have enough authority to learn it.
On the other hand, Thor's Elementary abilities and below had all lit up and were learnable.
Clearly, Thor and Tony, these two "second generation," were "children of destiny," and could be said to be "monstrous."
Reincarnation really was a skill.
With indescribable complicated feelings, Luke spent the day.
After seeing Thor and the others off at noon, he told Robert what happened last night.
S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally made him sign a confidentiality agreement, but Luke didn't think it was a good idea to keep it a secret from Robert.
After all, Shackelford was where the Meow Meow Hammer had fallen.
Also, as a retired member of RED, Robert couldn't be considered an ordinary person.
If he knew what had happened, he would be mentally prepared if anything happened in the future.
There was no need to stop the "ranch employee Christmas tour" in Houston either.
It would only cost a little more money to play for a few more days. If Thor and Loki suddenly returned to Shackelford to fight, that would be terrible.
Therefore, as long as the ranch employees were willing, they could continue to play. Those who could not stay idle would come back in a few days.
Especially Drax, Luke secretly asked Catherine to get Claire and Joseph to pester him for a week.
If the stubborn old man came back now, he would find that there was more than just a cement maze in his ranch.
What was even worse was that half of the main house he lived in had disappeared.
When Thor fought the Destroyer, he unfortunately hit the Destroyer in the direction of the main house. This was why Dr. Jane and Daisy arrived at the scene so quickly.
With a final big blow, Thor successfully smashed the Destroyer into pieces and blasted a huge pit in front of the main house.
The flying mud and rubble, as well as the remains of the Destroyer, caused a small part of the main house dozens of meters away to collapse.
The only thing that Luke was glad about was that the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom had collapsed. There wasn't anything too important.
The most important tool shed was fine, and so was Drax's precious pickup truck.
If the car was gone, the stubborn old man would probably explode when he came back, and make an exception to beat up a certain grown-up grandson like a brat.
Don't think that's impossible.
Robert's face had turned ugly when he discovered that the back door of the sheriff's F150 had been destroyed.
Of course, he had never done anything to Luke.
But this was just a car door.
Drax's temper was even worse, and he treasured the self-modified pickup truck even more.
If the entire car was gone, it was very likely that Luke would be beaten up.
That was also why Luke had mixed feelings. He finished dealing with the aftermath in Shackelford as quickly as possible, and left for Houston in the afternoon with Selina.
Both of them had to meet their family there and reassure them.
Luke also had to give his grandfather a hint in advance, lest the stubborn old man burst with anger when he got back.
Before nightfall, the two of them arrived in Houston and found their families who were having dinner.
It was December 31st, and the tour group was having a hotel buffet. Those who were full could wait to play together, while adults were free to move around.
Everyone was very happy with Luke and Selina's arrival. Dinner time was extended by half an hour, and they went to Houston's New Year's Carnival together.
After a night of fun, everyone returned home in high spirits.
Luke got a room for himself, while Selina asked to share a room with Claire.
On the first day of 2005, Luke and Selina said goodbye to their families early in the morning and boarded a flight back to New York with Gold Nugget.
After returning to his home in Clinton, Luke called Dustin and told him that he was back, so that Dustin could feel a little more confident.
Dustin simply said that he got it, and hung up.
The moment he stepped into the house, Luke clicked on the option to modify the inventory function in the system.
As expected, his mind was kicked out again.
The storage module was once again being upgraded in seclusion.
Now that he was done with this most important task, Luke felt much more relaxed.
He had done everything he could, and didn't need to worry about the rest.
That itchy feeling of being scratched by a kitten naturally disappeared and was replaced by an indescribable sense of relaxation.
Making himself a pot of pu 'er tea, he sat in front of the window and looked at the dark clouds outside as it snowed lightly. He was in a good mood; he was finally home.
Giving all the data he had recorded over the past few days to Little Snail for analysis, he sipped his black tea, then took out the spare snacks and called Gold Nugget over.
One man watched the snow, and the dog watched the show.
As he watched the snow, Luke was reviewing and summarizing the battle from the previous night.
The Destroyer was really strong, so strong that it was too strong.
Even the special armor-piercing shells at close range could only scratch its skin. It was extremely fast and agile, and strong enough to tear down a building with its bare hands. It also had the ability to float, fly, and fire long-range light cannons.
This was a cheat-level Boss.
But Luke had successfully completed the experiment, and the results weren't bad.
By adding Elementary Annihilation to the ordinary armor-piercing bullets fired from the Viper machine gun, he was able to interfere with the light cannons in the Destroyer's face, because the bullets damaged its transparent defense.
In game terms, bullets with Elementary Annihilation dealt more than -1 damage.
