In the next few days, Luke and Selina went out to play during the day and returned to the Isis base at night.
The Blood Orchids that had bloomed in the past few days were put into Luke's inventory in batches.
After having this base for so long, Luke had only come into contact with the Blood Orchid extract, not a live Blood Orchid sample.
Now that the Blood Orchid was finally in bloom, he naturally had to store it in his inventory so that he could study it slowly.
Life One, which had an unclear function, was rarely used. He also had the Life Dagger and the Light of Life as substitutes for healing.
He could wait for the next batch of Blood Orchids to bloom in two years to replenish the Blood Orchid extract.
What he really needed to worry about was the harsh conditions under which the Blood Orchids grew.
So far, Luke had tried all kinds of methods, including transplanting the land and imitating temperature, humidity, and light, but all of them had failed.
The Blood Orchids could only survive in this strange valley, and couldn't be artificially cultivated in Space 2.
He even gave two Blood Orchids to the semi-plant Claudia, but she couldn't make the Blood Orchids survive.
But judging from Claudia's mental fluctuations, she hadn't done her best, and had only done it normally.
After her failure, she was slightly surprised, but there was also a hint of schadenfreude.
This meant that even if she could cultivate the Blood Orchids, it definitely wouldn't be easy.
Besides, it was unknown whether the Blood Orchids she cultivated would have the same effect as the original version. Who knew, it might turn out something like "I'll kill you three thousand times."
In the past few days, Luke had taken Selina and the dog out in circles to find a suitable place to transplant the Blood Orchids and expand the scale of the Blood Orchids.
The search hadn't yielded any results yet, so the two of them and the dog had to play in the jungle for a few more days.
But Luke had already made up his mind.
In ten days at most, they would have to leave whether or not they found a suitable place to transplant the Blood Orchids. By then, the Blood Orchids in the valley would basically be over.
Besides, he was taking Selina out to play, not to be a savage.
No matter how fun exploring the jungle was, ten days would be enough.
After they left, Isis would continue to explore the vicinity with the drone. At most, it would be a little slower and it would be a little more troublesome to confirm.
But Isis wasn't a human, and she wasn't in charge of anything else. There was no problem of wasting time, so it didn't matter if it was slower.
So over the past week, they had expanded their search range to 100 kilometers, but they still couldn't find a place where the Blood Orchid could live.
On the other hand, the dog head's "small gains" were increasing day by day. All in all, it could be sold for two to three hundred thousand dollars. It was really … a profit.
In a certain Lu Ze's blacklist, any random gang leader from a big city in South America would reap tens or even hundreds of times more than this.
However, as a dog, the most important thing was to be happy.
Gold Nugget had indeed been very happy recently. That was enough.
That day, two people and a dog went up the river again. The dog head was still looking for treasures.
Just as it found a rusty knife from the river and was proudly showing off the jewel embedded in the handle, the drone on the lookout fifty meters away suddenly alerted them.
On the drone's screen, there was a huge cloud of smoke rising from the woods one kilometer away, which meant that there might be a forest fire there.
There were many fires in the Amazon forest, but most of them were deliberately set on fire by farmers and loggers to clear land.
This area was deep in no man's land, and there were no large rivers nearby. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that it was the work of farmers or poachers.
They had nothing better to do anyway.
Luke put away the boat, and the two of them and the dog flew slowly through the forest in their armor to take a look at the fire.
It was slow, but it was still much faster than walking on the ground. They covered a kilometer in less than two minutes.
But when they were still a hundred meters away, Luke and Selina paused for a moment, and heard faint screams coming from the fire.
The two of them looked at each other, activated their invisibility function, and flew away at a faster speed.
The dog head was a beat slower, but it immediately did the same.
A few seconds later, they saw an open native settlement on a slope next to the river.
Looking at the situation in the settlement, they frowned at the same time.
A dozen armed men were beating up and driving away a group of natives, firing every now and then.
A dozen natives were already lying in the small shacks in the settlement. Most of them were covered in blood and weren't moving at all. Only a few who had been shot in the legs were screaming and cursing.
Selina asked, "Should we do it?"
Luke checked the system's judgment of good and evil, and immediately found a bunch of Spanish names that had just appeared. They were all so red that they were almost black.
Without hesitation, he took out an MP7 from his inventory and pulled the trigger, firing a series of shots.
A hundred meters away, the dozen armed men didn't even have time to scream before their heads exploded like balloons in a playground.
Selina, who hadn't even closed her mouth yet, was rendered speechless.
Gold Nugget, which had just run up to them: "…"
"Cough, cough. They're just a bunch of small fries. Don't worry about them." Luke coughed and turned around. "Let's go and see what we can find this time."
He wasn't going in the direction of the settlement, but the three speedboats parked by the river.
They were the vehicles that the armed men had used to get here.
The things that the dead men were carrying had probably been looted from this native settlement.
Luke didn't want them, and was too lazy to look for them.
The speedboats definitely belonged to these criminals, and their operation had only just begun. They hadn't had time to move the loot yet.
Compared with flipping over the criminals one by one, moving the yacht as a whole would undoubtedly save time and trouble, and he wouldn't have to show his face.
Ten minutes later, two people and one dog were back on their yacht.
Gold Nugget hinted at someone with its beady eyes.
Luke said, "Alright, don't look like that. This is a joint mission. We'll split the spoils evenly. "
The dog head was delighted and rubbed its head against Luke's calf.
Luke said, "Alright, I'll throw out the spoils and count them."
Although he would know what was inside the three yachts as soon as they were in his inventory, he could still give Selina and Gold Nugget some fun.
He had earned points too quickly just now, and hadn't given them a chance to do anything at all.
It was mainly because there were only a dozen or so ordinary criminals, and Selina would lose 50% of her experience and credit points if she killed them.
Gold Nugget was an alien creature that had always been discriminated against by the system. It wasn't a teammate in any case.
Luke wouldn't get any experience and credit points for any of the bad guys it killed.
That was why Luke had been so quick.
Of course, he couldn't do the spoils for them anymore.
When Luke threw the spoils of war onto the deck, Gold Nugget's eyes lit up.
There was a small pile of glittering gold nuggets and dozens of shiny raw gemstones, which were very eye-catching.
Selina simply crouched down with great interest and picked up a raw stone mixed with pink tourmaline. She suddenly had a strange expression on her face. "These … should be worth a lot, right?"
Luke didn't think much of it, and replied casually, "If I bought the gold and raw stones through proper channels, it would probably cost three to five hundred thousand dollars."
Selina chuckled and rubbed the dog's head. "Gold Nugget, we've only done this one job, but it seems we've made more than you did in a week. This is a real treasure hunt in the jungle! "
The happy dog head was stunned for a moment. A moment later, it slowly raised its head and looked at Luke, wanting to confirm it again.
Pondering for a moment, Luke comforted it. "It's fine. We'll definitely make more than you catching fish."
The dog head was lost for words. No, I don't want to hear this!
