Luke liked Dustin, and naturally didn't have a good impression of Brad.
Now, he just sat there and watched the deputy commissioner jump up and down.
Now that Brad was the commissioner, it was time for Dustin to jump out of this old iron shackle and form his own faction.
The bigger the position, the more he had to worry about.
Brad, who wanted to secure his position, would be easier to deal with.
At that time, Dustin could use his promotion to send off this stingy boss who was like a rooster.
As for George and Selina, it wouldn't be a bad idea to build a good relationship with them.
The 15th Precinct had jurisdiction over a large area in the Clinton area, and was a local tyrant.
He had a personal relationship with the boss of the "patrol police" here, and would receive more support here.
In the long run, their interests were the same. If they both wanted law and order in the Clinton area to improve, there was value in cooperating.
George and Selina weren't here to check up on Luke, or they would have known that he was a colleague of NYPD.
They were just visiting the neighborhood, and couldn't possibly read through all the residents' information.
They wanted to know what had happened here on the day of the dead's rampage, including the case of Big Dipper's massacre of the Hand mercenaries.
These cases actually didn't have much to do with the 15th Precinct, and had already been taken over by SHIELD.
Out of professional sensitivity, George just wanted to know more information.
SHIELD only took over the cases, but he was still responsible for maintaining law and order in the area.
More than two hundred mercenaries had died here. For the sake of public safety, he had to personally investigate the area.
Luke also revealed some information outside of the confidentiality agreement, and made it clear that he couldn't say too much.
He lived next door to the apartment building and was a member of the Detective Bureau, but he didn't say anything about the two hundred mercenaries who had died that night. This was because he was restricted by the confidentiality agreement.
Anyone who could become a precinct chief in their early thirties wasn't stupid.
George tactfully didn't ask any more questions. He didn't trust Luke very much, and the latter wouldn't break the confidentiality agreement to give him insider information.
But he was also sure that this young detective wasn't simple.
His temperament and the information he revealed in certain topics all proved that he was an "old" detective with abilities and connections.
Putting aside his young appearance and the age on his file, George felt that he was a typical NYPD veteran.
So, before he left, he gave Luke his official personal card, indicating that they could contact each other outside of work.
Luke was too familiar with the situation in the Clinton area as they talked.
George felt that he needed this kind of subordinates who dared to make their home in Hell's Kitchen.
Therefore, he made up his mind to look up the young detective's resume when he returned to the police station.
If it was suitable, he might be able to transfer him to work under him.
Luke still didn't know that George was already trying to poach Dustin from him.
After chatting with Selina for a while, he went to work in the workshop.
The core cross of the artifact Gate to the Underworld had been "eaten" by the storage space, and the specific effects of the modification were still a little unclear.
He harassed the system, but all he got was a "Living Space Ability Enhancement" notification.
The system only said that the living space would be more suitable for storing intelligent creatures.
Obviously, this was another problem that he needed to experiment on his own.
Luke was used to it.
It was fine for Daddy System to stay idle, but if it was too active, he wouldn't feel at ease.
Anyway, he had a lot of experimental projects, so it didn't matter if he had one more.
The first project he was working on was all kinds of mechanical and electronic equipment, such as armor, cars, aircraft, nanotechnology, and various weapons.
This part of the experiment mainly relied on Tony's abilities, and he also used Iron and Blood Technology and other scattered technical data to carry out combined experiments according to his needs.
Generally speaking, this kind of research didn't take too much time.
After all, Tony did this kind of research with the backing of the massive Stark Industries research department, as well as explosive inspiration.
It just so happened that Luke didn't have either of these conditions, so he didn't invest too much energy in this area.
Tony was an ordinary person, which was perhaps the reason why he had always been working hard to advance in technology.
If he was distracted by researching superpowers, Tony's research on iron armor would definitely be greatly affected. He might become an awkward person who knew everything but was good at nothing.
Luke, on the other hand, wouldn't try to challenge the tycoon's cheating scientific inspiration. If he had the time, he would refresh his abilities and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
Luke, on the other hand, focused most of his energy on his experiments with superpowers, as well as on Selina and Gold Nugget.
Compared with Tony, their biggest advantage was superpowers.
It was the most appropriate to give full play to the spirit of "relying on others for what they have, relying on others for what they have" and unswervingly take the road of differentiated competition.
That way, if Tony's technology couldn't solve a problem, Luke could at least try using superpowers.
Or if he combined the two, he could solve a problem that couldn't be solved by one.
However, the most important thing for Luke at the moment wasn't to improve his combat strength.
His combat strength was based on technology and superpowers. Apart from a few cheaters on Earth, it was hard for anyone else to compare to him.
Thus, what was really important was support.
Big Dipper, the Scapegoat King, had officially made his appearance, but that wasn't enough.
A scapegoat king who didn't show his face definitely wouldn't be a reliable scapegoat. And the hardware needed to show his face, the Thousand Faces system, was almost at version 1.0.
This was no longer a semi-defective product that could only be casually imitated with a face, but a complete version.
As long as the last part was completed, the Thousand Faces system would be able to completely change a person's appearance.
From the body to the face, there was nothing missing.
The only drawback was that it was very weak.
If someone with super strength like Luke and Selina punched a hard object, the Thousand Faces system would be damaged.
But this drawback could be ignored for the time being.
He wasn't going to use the Thousand Faces system to fight. He just needed to use it to transform into another person, and then transform into other aliases in public to ensure that everyone's investigation was off track.
With this anticipation, Luke finally created the first Thousand Faces system before midnight.
Like the Thousand Faces mask, version 1.0 of the Thousand Faces system could only store one character model.
With this opportunity, he didn't hesitate to give Batman the number one avatar.
Just like how a scapegoat king wouldn't be a reliable scapegoat if he didn't show his face, Batman ultimately had to show his face.
But the disadvantage of Batman not showing his face was that it was difficult for him to gain other people's complete trust.
This was especially true for the allies that Luke wanted to make into system teammates. The last thing that stood in the way of trust was undoubtedly showing their faces.
Also, Phil's S.H.I.E.L.D. mission and Tony's attack on the terrorists to save the villagers could be considered to be punishing evil and protecting the people.
Once they became teammates, Luke could just sit back and collect the experience and credit points that his teammates shared.
