After a long while, Luke finally figured out the function and origin of the system's built-in ability.
The so-called Justice Star was actually the same as the "Nemesis of Evil" and "Superhero." It was just a name to show one's faction.
In fact, it was a kind of doppelganger ability, but it was a combination of the elementary doppelganger and the elementary spiritual body.
In fact, everything was similar to what Luke had speculated.
All his abilities were normal changes brought about by the strengthening of his body and mind, and couldn't be created out of thin air. This was also the reason why many of the abilities he learned had requirements.
Thus, the Justice Star's clone ability was different from other abilities.
It wasn't unique to him, and had to be activated by the system.
Also, after this ability was activated, the Justice Star clone would appear and couldn't be canceled.
Unless the clone suffered a destructive blow or ran out of points, it would automatically disappear.
That's right, points were what kept this clone going.
The system had just notified him that as long as the clone existed, even if it didn't do anything, 100 points would automatically be deducted every day.
If it was in an intense battle, the consumption would increase.
Simply put, points were the clone's "arc reactor."
Looking at the 387500 points in the system, Luke felt that he wouldn't have to worry about using too much for the time being and blowing up the clone.
More importantly, was this a matter of points? Well, that was true.
Although this Justice Star was probably the lowest level-one clone, and its three stats were the most basic 10, it and Luke were still one entity.
For Luke, the Justice Star was still a part of his body, and was no different from his hands and feet. It was even more impossible for a clone to have self-awareness like in movies and TV shows.
That was because his main body was the "brain" that had self-awareness, and a clone that had self-awareness was as ridiculous as an ordinary person chopping off their hand and turning it into a person.
What the Justice Star did was what he did. There was no difference to the system between controlling his own body and the clone.
Similarly, when the Justice Star did private work, it could farm experience and credit points just like his main body.
In other words, not only could it earn back the points it spent, it could also provide experience for the main body.
So, what exactly did the Justice Star mean to Luke?
It meant that it would be Batman, V, John, White Wolf, Big Dipper, and so on. It would definitely be the best scapegoat.
Countless thoughts surged in his mind, and the two Luke's stood there in a daze for a long time.
…
Soon, Luke came out of the basement and made dinner.
After dinner, he said that he would accompany Selina for a round of combat training later to check on her recent progress.
Selina didn't pay much attention to it.
Luke liked to tinker with his own equipment and use it to test their physical data. Gold Nugget and Dollar were no exception.
She cooperated with the test the most.
However, these tests were also effective. Over the past few months, her body fat percentage had steadily increased, and her physical fitness had become stronger and stronger, surpassing the average person by two times.
Unlike the worries of most people in this world, what Selina was most afraid of wasn't getting fat, but waking up one night and turning into a muscular woman.
Now that her body fat percentage had returned to 19%, she would be satisfied as long as she could maintain her balance.
After the test was over, everything was the same as before. She continued with her other training, and Luke returned to the basement.
As soon as he entered the basement, the two Luke's looked at each other and smiled. They said at the same time, "Looks like there's no problem."
The "Luke" who had gone upstairs for dinner and training was actually the clone, the Justice Star. Luke himself, on the other hand, was obediently directing his "new body" in the basement.
He could use the Justice Star with ease and without any sluggishness. The only problem was Luke's own senses.
Having two hands, two feet, and a body that could move freely, the brain's long-term habit of thinking made it easy for the main body and the clone to do the same thing.
It was like an ordinary person drawing a circle with their left hand and a square with their right hand; the two would always affect each other.
There had to be a period of adaptation! Pondering, Luke decided to use the Justice Star clone to go out in the next few days, and also to test if there was anything wrong with the clone.
Selina wasn't the only one who couldn't tell, but that didn't mean that other people couldn't either.
…
In the next few days, the Justice Star clone ate and drank as usual, went to bed and woke up on time.
This clone could still eat, because this body was identical to his real body.
Its breathing, body temperature, heartbeat, blood, and DNA were all Luke's. It was like a clone.
But the energy that was converted from eating immediately dissipated, and only absorbed the nutrients that the human body needed, such as vitamins, trace elements, and minerals.
Thus, the clone really couldn't live on air. It still had to eat and drink, but it didn't have to eat and drink as much as the main body did.
And its every move consumed the energy provided by credit points.
Why were credit points energy? That was a very simple question.
All along, learning abilities required credit points, expanding space required credit points, and even defeating Mephisto required credit points.
Then, he used his experience to level up, and the basic points after leveling up were used to improve his physical fitness. The meaning was very obvious.
Was the little bit of energy that he ate when leveling up enough to make his physical fitness extraordinary enough?
Using the analogy of humans eating, the basic points converted from the system's experience were the staple food. The regular food that he ate when leveling up was at most vegetables and fruits to balance nutrition and replenish his water.
Luke speculated that the system had probably given him ten dollars, but it had divided the money into two fives in advance.
The basic five dollars (experience) to improve his physical fitness had been directly bought and sent to him, and he couldn't change it.
The remaining five dollars (credit points) were the money that he could freely use to buy abilities and upgrade the storage module.
Now, it was as if he had bought a "clone cheat" with the system. Naturally, he had to subsidize the system with the five dollars that he could freely use to maintain the cheat.
Luke, who had already speculated about this, wasn't surprised by the clone's "deduction."
On the other hand, the results of his test were very gratifying.
Nobody could detect the difference between the clone and the main body, and nobody had any unusual emotional fluctuations when they saw the clone.
Luke was very confident in that.
If there was a flaw in the Justice Star ability, it wasn't that it automatically deducted points, but that it weakened Luke's abilities.
Luke's character panel now looked like this.
Host: Luke
Character Basic Stats: 30 Strength (+ 10 Justice Star)
Dexterity: 17 (+ 10 Justice Star)
Mental Strength: 30 (+ 10 Justice Star)
