Ever since he was young, Joseph had never been able to do anything to Luke.
No matter how smart a kid was, he would be frustrated when he met a man who had lived to be thirty in his previous life.
When it came to shamelessness, Luke was several times thicker than Claire and Joseph put together. There was no way he could fight him.
Joseph could only make it clear. "It's fine if you're on a business trip, but Mindy is also going on a trip in a few days. She asked Nikki and Monica to take turns driving me home. Do you know that?"
Luke chuckled and rubbed Joseph's head. "Hey, aren't you taking advantage of me? Long-legged sister picking you up online. So many people would love to have you. "
Suddenly, realization dawned on him. "So, you're not actually complaining that I'm on a business trip, but that Mindy is going on a trip too?"
Joseph opened his mouth, but was lost for words.
He was indeed unhappy about that, but it wasn't just about Mindy. It was about her and her friend who had recently gone to Japan.
Joseph was only nine years old, and he needed his parents to accompany him. What could he do?
He didn't think that Catherine would ask him to take time off for no reason and accompany him on a trip abroad.
Although Mindy had told him about the trip in Japan after she returned, and it didn't sound like there was anything fun about it, Joseph was still a little depressed.
What he didn't know was that his level two clone had been in New York the whole time, and had been working in the basement every night to watch over him. It was just that it never appeared in front of Joseph.
Luke stopped teasing Joseph. He opened his backpack and gave him two boxes. "A gift for you."
Joseph looked at the colors suspiciously. "Another set?"
Luke winked at him. "See for yourself. I intentionally didn't add packaging."
Joseph opened the black box, which was half transparent. The Japanese logo on it was very obvious, and there was a ferocious black bear on the border.
He picked up the tablet and took a picture of the box. Then, he clicked to extract text and translate. "Ultimate Hero Black Bear Ginseng, limited to 100 sets? 95% realistic armor? "
He then opened the pink box. "Ultimate Hero Pink Bear Ginseng, limited to 100 sets. Hm … princess dress?"
Joseph's eyes widened. "You want me to give a princess dress to Mindy?"
Luke said, "Can't I? She's a girl. Moreover, this limited edition is only selling skirts, not battle armor. "
Besides, it's not as pretty as the armor I make. Someone muttered in his heart.
Joseph hesitated for a moment before accepting the gift.
At least he had put some thought into it — Mindy did like pink.
After accepting the gift, the younger brother was too embarrassed to keep a straight face. The two brothers could finally talk peacefully.
…
Luke and Selina didn't do anything big after they returned.
After a substantial holiday, Selina started to deal with the squeezed PDD matters again, while Luke started to study the parasites and the symbiotic riot.
Compared to before, Luke still had a few subordinates.
In Space No. 2, Shi Deng, Claudia, and Ophelia were all quite interested in alien species.
They all had their own main projects, but Luke had a lot of parasites, so each of them was given two to study.
After all, it wasn't a rare species.
The outbreak of the symbiotic bodies attracted the attention of the three doctors, but Luke treasured them very much and didn't dare let them do anything to them.
If she died, Luke really wouldn't be able to find another one.
The research on the parasites soon had a rough result, and the three doctors all came to the conclusion that the short-term value of the parasites was limited, and it was not worth further research.
After all, this thing was only a parasite in one part of the human body, and the rest of the body was still a weakness.
Multiple parasites could indeed strengthen more parts, but multiple parasites would fight and interfere with each other's consciousnesses.
If they weren't careful, they might fight each other for control of the body like the monsters in myths.
On the other hand, Green Fatty still maintained his human appearance.
The half-Hulk Bronski, though still in his human form, was no longer welcomed by the others.
Not only did the parasites eat humans to survive, but they were also completely anti-human, which could easily lead to the uncanny valley effect.
For the time being, the parasites could only be interesting research material, and couldn't be expected to gain any benefits from them.
Professor Shi Deng, on the other hand, was very interested in Koizumi Shinichi.
Unfortunately, Koizumi Shinichi had a neutral yellow name, and it was impossible for Luke to capture him for experiments. He could only get PDD from Japan to find an opportunity to trick him into participating in some tests.
The real main force in researching parasites was actually Tamiya Ryoko, a highly intelligent parasite.
Luke gave her a condition: she would be released if she researched food that could replace humans.
If she accomplished this goal, Luke could even provide her with shelter and allow her to live openly in human society.
But she had to become the new king of the parasites and try her best to control the remaining parasites so that they wouldn't eat humans.
When that happened, she and her subordinates could work for Phil.
The parasites were far stronger than normal people, and could only be treated like this.
After living in human society for a long time, it wasn't difficult for them to hide their cannibalism. It was very possible that they would secretly kill someone to eat.
Of course, they couldn't let them hide freely in human society.
Tamiya Ryoko didn't object at all. She even started researching the parasites the day after she was caught.
Luke also needed time to experiment with the effects of his various abilities and methods on her.
Pheromone control, hypnosis, and hallucination were only slightly less effective on the parasites, but they weren't completely ineffective.
He could make adjustments as he experimented, and might be able to find a way to control Tamiya Ryoko to ensure that nothing happened to her.
…
Luke was too engrossed in his research to extricate himself.
Mindy, on the other hand, was bustling with activity.
A few days ago, she found the Everything Seller and opened a private team channel called Ursa Minor.
The rules of this channel were directly copied from the Bat Squad. Luke had even added a youth mode — asking questions or revealing personal information would be directly disconnected.
She was one of the members, codenamed Ms. M.
Joseph was also among them, codenamed Destiny.
Then there were the little turtles' Blueberry (Leo), Red Bean Ice (Raphael), Sunkiss (Mickey), and Purple Grape (Tony).
Then there was Black Pearl (Monica), White Diamond (Nikki), Ms. J (Carrie), and Mr. T (Tyrone).
Finally, there was Ms. P, but this person was … Claire.
As for whether this P meant Pink or Paige, or even simply two in one, only Claire herself knew.
Apart from that, the channel administrators, or group moderators, were Luke and Selina. The two of them shared this account to ensure that these guys didn't mess around.
Joseph was the most ordinary of these youngsters. Apart from his IQ of over 140, there was nothing special about him.
But if they really wanted to cause trouble, the lineup of ten superhumans was luxurious enough. It was just that they lacked experience and organization.
But if Mindy continued like this, Luke might not even have to worry about the second echelon. Wasn't this Ursa Minor a ready-made "youth team"?
