Walter was now used to the situation of having super capable subordinates who couldn't be used like cattle. What a pity.
However, Walter didn't have the right to do that. Even if he felt that it was a waste, he didn't call them.
Walter said, "Then, can you take on more cases in the department during this period?"
Luke shook his head decisively. "I trust John and the others. We can also give the newcomers more chances. If we don't give them more responsibilities now and let them get used to the high-pressure environment in the Detective Bureau, they'll only be more chaotic in the future. "
Walter smiled bitterly. "I really have to thank you. Alright, you guys can go back to work. "
He couldn't help but lament inwardly, Asshole, you're twenty and twenty-six. How dare you say you're newcomers? Apart from the four newcomers, there's no one else in the Detective Bureau who's newer than you! Moreover, the average age of the two new groups was 27, okay?!
Walter didn't know that Luke was speaking the truth.
That was because there were bound to be a lot of cases that would fall on NYPD tonight. This time, HQ wouldn't be able to digest it, and no one in the Detective Bureau would be idle tomorrow.
If he didn't make his stance clear now, what if Walter counted them in when he worked overtime?
It wasn't that Luke wasn't confident in his colleagues' efficiency; he was just more confident in his and Selina's efficiency in beating people up.
After showing Walter that he was being lazy, Luke and Selina slipped away early.
There was still an operation tonight, and they had to finish their daily training and studies during the day.
Slacking off was good for a while, and always slacking off was good for a while. That was an unchanging maxim.
Even Luke had never overestimated his perseverance.
If he really had that much perseverance, he wouldn't have failed to achieve outstanding results at the age of thirty in his previous life.
It wasn't until he started to rely on his interest and talent to enter the online literature circle that he finally made a name for himself after failing for a few years.
He couldn't buy a car or a house, but he didn't have to worry about food or clothing every year, and he could save up tens of thousands of dollars.
Compared with his clerical job for several years, he was undoubtedly more interested in online literature. He had put in far more effort than his clerical job.
After a few years, his income from online literature exceeded that of a clerical job, and he steadily increased it. That was the effect of perseverance.
In this life, before the system was activated, he had also worked hard.
However, he did not have a specific goal, nor did he have extraordinary talent. His various efforts yielded little results.
In terms of fitness, he couldn't compete with the school's musclemen. In terms of learning, he couldn't compete with the little straight-A students with an IQ of 140 +. His singing wasn't out of tune, and his dancing wasn't awkward.
This was the helplessness of ordinary people — they put in effort, only to find that they were still ordinary.
Before the system was activated, Luke's plan was to finish his studies at a second-rate university in peace, and then find an opportunity to fish for a few Marvel plots that he knew.
As long as he had a few million, he would be able to slowly develop.
Putting aside the fact that he had the knowledge of his previous life and the products that transcended the era, there were countless people in the United States looking for investors with ideas. There were also people who boasted that their ideas were more mysterious than reincarnation. No one cared at all.
Even if he had some knowledge from his previous life, he did not have the ability to implement them, nor did he have the eloquence to impress investors. It would be difficult for him to get started.
It wasn't until he obtained the system that Luke's days of hardship finally arrived.
As a person with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, in his previous life, he would struggle for a few days just to install a computer component. If he didn't figure it out, he would feel a knot in his heart.
After he obtained the system, he felt uncomfortable because of the huge difference in his basic three measurements, so he wanted to farm experience.
Now that he had the ability, he didn't have enough credit points, so he wanted to farm more.
But there was no limit to his level, and he couldn't even afford a "advanced" product with his credit points, which always gave him a sense of urgency.
He spent all the boring training and studying alone in the basement and the training room. He didn't even want Selina to know.
If Selina saw it, she would definitely feel sorry for him and think that he was crazy.
A twenty-year-old man with good looks, a great body, a net worth of tens of billions, multiple female friends, and an ability to solve cases, didn't think about getting rich and seducing women, but hid in the basement every day to torture himself. Wasn't he crazy?
But Luke was always introverted and insecure. He didn't like other people to bear his pressure and worries.
Other people's sympathy and pity would only make him feel awkward, including Selina's.
So, when he was with other people, he lived his life in the most relaxed manner. Whether it was a detective or a vigilante, he didn't mind being a little weird.
When he was alone, he would hone himself with harsh training and work.
He knew that the only thing he needed to comfort was his heart.
There was no need to show this to his family and friends; it would only make them worry for nothing.
At first, Robert had seen some signs and comforted him in private a few times.
But as Luke's mental strength and Mental Communication grew stronger, Robert realized it and thought that his persuasion was working.
In fact, in his previous life, Luke could always find something he was interested in when he was playing games or writing novels, and he worked hard on it.
Now, he thought of the system as something similar.
Farming experience and credit points, acquiring abilities, and becoming stronger was also a digital process.
As long as he could see with his own eyes that he was becoming stronger, it was inevitable that he would be a little tired.
It was like the players who killed bosses for months just to get a piece of top-quality equipment. Who wouldn't be tired and in pain?
But when they reaped the rewards, they couldn't be happier.
Luke gradually got used to it and enjoyed the painful and joyful process.
But one day, the players would gather the best equipment that they could. His system, on the other hand, was all-encompassing. It was a super game that he wouldn't get tired of.
As the only player with cheats in Marvel Earth Online, Luke was lucky and fortunate.
Most of the time, human happiness was built on the unhappiness of their opponents.
Thus, Amanda, who had just closed her eyes for a moment, was woken up by the phone again.
She didn't do anything unnecessary. When she opened her eyes, she picked up the phone on the table. "What's up?"
"Batman and Catwoman have made a move again. It's the same gangs from New York. So far, seventeen of them have been collectively crippled, and all of them have helped us," said the person on the other end of the line.
Amanda said, "Got it."
She then hung up and sat there with a gloomy expression.
She wasn't surprised by this outcome.
Batman was righteous in the hearts of ordinary people, but everyone knew that this Dark Knight wasn't a good-tempered superhero.
He probably hadn't killed anyone since he appeared, but the criminals who had been crippled had already ushered in a golden age for New York's orthopedic department.
Previously, she had thought that her hands and feet should be clean and wouldn't be discovered by Batman, or that he wouldn't be able to find a target for revenge even if he was discovered.
Now, it seemed that she had underestimated Batman.
To be able to become a superhero who deterred so many criminals in America, Batman definitely wasn't stupid. A fool who tried to be a hero would have died a hundred times over.
