Luke ignored the dog's daily groveling and asked directly, "Then tell me the truth. Among the energy you've eaten, how delicious are they?"
The dog head didn't resist at all. "Selina is first, grandpa is second, and Luke and Claire are tied for third."
Ignoring the dog head calling him a devil behind his back, Luke strolled leisurely on the street at noon. "My energy is half as delicious as Selina's. Just a little less? Or a lot less? "
The dog head thought for a few seconds this time, as if it was weighing the difference in taste, before it finally said, "A little more than a little less?"
Luke already knew this guy's habit of using words. He nodded thoughtfully. "So it's a lot less, but still delicious?"
The dog head said, "That's right. Grandpa Pennyworth, you're too smart."
Luke wasn't moved at all by such low-level flattery. He continued to ask, "Then, are Luke and Claire half as delicious as Selina?"
"A lot less, but a little more than half," the dog head answered very quickly this time. It was clear that it had already made an assessment.
Luke nodded.
If Gold Nugget's perception of the taste of energy was set at 100, then the energy in Selina's body was 90 +. The energy that Luke was feeding Gold Nugget now tasted around 80 +, while his Elementary Self-Healing and Claire's special energy were 60 +.
Previously, he had found an opportunity to let Gold Nugget test the other members of the team in secret.
Alice's Intermediate Self-Healing and her daughter Carrie's mental energy were also 80 +.
Angel's energy was 50 +, and the little turtle and his disciple 70 +.
Kunlun's Qi Refinement basically fluctuated between 60 + and 70 +, and the progress of an individual's cultivation would affect Gold Nugget's taste.
Elena's energy was more unique. Gold Nugget couldn't describe her taste; it was delicious and disgusting.
In the end, Gold Nugget used IN
AND
OUT cheeseburger + fried stinky tofu + garlic chili sauce and so on to describe the taste of Elena's energy.
The general meaning was that when delicious + delicious + delicious were mixed together, it became a strange taste that was both delicious and disgusting.
Of course, Wade was the weirdo. Chocolate + sh * t was an accurate description that Gold Nugget had given a long time ago, and it completely matched Luke's impression of this lunatic — it was useful, but also uncomfortable.
Luke had slowly figured out Gold Nugget's "taste test" ability.
In the beginning, his own strength was average, and he had only just begun his research on the rules and functions of the system. His research and use of Superpowers were also very low.
At that time, he had been very wary of Gold Nugget, and naturally didn't want to take the risk.
If this dog head knew the shocking secret in his mind, it was hard to say what kind of trouble it would cause.
But in the last few months, as all kinds of research yielded results, he finally turned his attention to Gold Nugget.
This dog head was too useful and knew too many secrets. He had to thoroughly study it.
But because the brainwashing in the early days had been too outrageous, the dog head was now extremely sensitive to being "researched," and even Luke's "power" couldn't suppress its resistance.
After all, Gold Nugget was a very important teammate.
Perhaps because it wasn't a human, it couldn't pass the system's identification as a teammate.
But it was the intelligent creature that knew the most of Luke's secrets apart from Selina.
After two years of training, Gold Nugget was already a mature dog.
Not only was it easy to raise, it didn't cause trouble, and was very obedient. It could also be Selina's bodyguard, pet, best friend, errand runner, and scold people online.
It was just a pity that it was bad at math, but it wasn't worse than many Americans, so it wasn't really a shortcoming.
Luke's attitude toward the dog head slowly changed from strict and oppressive to serious and lively with a hint of benevolence.
Gold Nugget ate, drank, and played all day, and hadn't realized what was going on. But now, it indeed wasn't as afraid of Luke as it used to be, and even dared to tease Luke when it had nothing to do.
It thought that it had learned Selina's ultimate trick, which was to find the right time to be naughty, and it would be fine.
In fact, Luke wasn't a serious person to begin with. It was fine as long as he wasn't naughty.
Besides, in his previous life, there was a saying: "The son of a dog, the master of a cat." How many sons weren't naughty?
Gold Nugget's naughtiness wasn't as pure as the husky's "royal bloodline."
Thus, Luke used excuses like "studying food" and "studying other people's mental resistance" to trick it into participating in all kinds of tests.
Gold Nugget had no resistance to "tasting energy."
The energy in Selina's body was of the highest quality, but Luke was afraid that it would affect Selina's body, so he only gave it one percent of the energy, and it was gone after it had tasted a little.
Besides, it really did need a change of taste after eating for a long time.
One of the conclusions Luke came to after many experiments was that Gold Nugget couldn't obtain all the information in the host's head.
Then, Gold Nugget performed symbiotic experiments on the clone.
The main body? That was impossible.
The clone, which had been "coded" by the system, was the most reliable test target.
Sure enough, after the clone left the system, a system notification popped up. "Discovered a mental energy link from the symbiotic body. Do you accept?"
Luke chose no.
The symbiosis was still complete, but when he asked Gold Nugget, it could only sense a stronger will from the clone.
It could still sense temporary thoughts such as complete symbiosis, transformation, and so on, but its evaluation of the clone's brain was that it was "empty inside."
Although this answer was a little annoying, Luke knew that the dog head really didn't want to scold him.
It felt that the clone's consciousness was nothingness, and didn't have any will.
After Selina entered the symbiotic state, the dog head could sense a huge aggregate that belonged to her.
Gold Nugget could easily sense what was going on on the "skin" of the aggregate, such as the thoughts that controlled the body's movements.
Then, the slightly deeper "subcutaneous tissue" would be sporadic thoughts that floated out from time to time, such as wanting to eat barbecued pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, tomato and squirrel fish, and so on.
Further down, it had to carefully distinguish the "internal organs" in order to sense what they meant, such as what Luke was doing now, how many people he was going to beat up tonight, and so on.
These three layers were the host's consciousness that the symbiotic body most often communicated with.
Communicating with the deeper consciousness was very laborious, and generally wasn't necessary.
Luke reckoned that Gold Nugget's symbiosis probably involved part of the host's ego and self-awareness.
It was mainly inclined toward the ego, and it was basically eating, drinking, and having fun, which was a typical biological instinct.
But when the host's ego and superego were entangled and conflicted, it would automatically stay away from them.
That way, it wouldn't go crazy, but at the same time, it would be influenced by Dollar's instincts and "recognize" Selina as its master from the very beginning.
As for the clone, after the symbiotic relationship, Gold Nugget could only sense and communicate with the "skin" of its consciousness.
This "hollow shell" type of consciousness was the only one in the dog's memories.
While Luke was pondering, Gold Nugget suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, rough stuff is spicy, rough stuff is spicy. Grandpa, send me back."
