Whether it was a celebrity, a great author, or a tech nouveau riche, it meant that there would be a lot of high-quality girls coming for him. He didn't need to worry about the problem of a girlfriend.
A winner in life didn't need a girlfriend at all. A lot of women who were willing to be close female friends would do most of the work for a girlfriend.
But... the Super Detective System? His first mission was to become an official police officer?
This made him break down.
This was because Robert was a local police officer in a small town in America. He was also the sheriff of Shackelford.
Well, it's not that Robert's last name is Scherff.
Sheriff was the town's sheriff, or sheriff.
This kind of small town police was actually slightly different from the PD in big cities. They were also known as public security officers and were private police hired by the townspeople themselves.
As a relative who had lived with Robert for more than ten years, Lu Ke was very clear about the income of a small town police officer.
Robert's annual salary was only 54,000 dollars, and that was before taxes. He was the sheriff, and the lowest annual salary for an ordinary police officer in a small town was only 32,000 dollars.
Even with Robert's salary, it was difficult to support a family.
Fortunately, the tax burden in Texas was one of the lowest in the United States, and the cost of living was also relatively low. Catherine also had a teacher's salary, so Robert's family did not have to struggle to get by.
Now, this broken system actually wanted Lu Ke to become a police officer. Wasn't this a scam?
Since it was the Super Detective System, why couldn't he become a private detective?
If he did well that way, it was possible for him to earn tens of millions of yuan a year. With the help of the system, he might even become rich.
But what future would there be in being a police officer? The top cop of the NYPD only had an annual salary of a hundred thousand.
Of course, the real way for the higher-ups to earn money was not through their salary. After they retired, they would participate in speeches, books, and lobbying. They could easily earn tens of millions of dollars a year. This was allowed by law.
But Lu Ke was only eighteen this year. Who knew when he would retire?
Moreover, he only started to have money when he was in his seventies or eighties. What was there to look forward to in this life?
What was even more annoying was that Lu Ke had almost quarreled with Robert three days ago because of work.
Because … Robert wanted him to become a police officer at the police station after he graduated from high school. Lu Ke rejected him decisively.
His goal is to be a rich man.
With the System, even if he needed to be an adult to activate it, according to American law, he would be considered an adult at the age of 21. If he could buy alcohol at will, how could he not be considered an adult?
Lu Ke could only wait for three years at most.
However, he did not expect that after waiting for three days, the system would activate and want him to become a police officer.
This is … a sin!
Lu Ke cried silently in his heart.
He wasn't in a hurry.
Although Robert wasn't his father, their relationship wasn't that different.
If he changed his mind and agreed to be a policeman, Robert would at most mock him, but he would still help him in the end.
A traditional Texan, a former soldier, a rancher, and finally a policeman, Robert was such a straightforward, rough man.
Lu Ke lay on the bed with complicated feelings, his thoughts running wild, and unknowingly fell asleep again.
After a long time, he heard someone shouting, "Luke, get up."
Lu Ke mumbled in a daze, "No, Claire, let me sleep a little longer. School is over."
Sure enough, the scream stopped.
A moment later, a slightly hoarse voice rang out. "Robert, Luke should be fine now, but he's lazing in bed. I can't wake him up. Oh, will you come over later? Alright, I still have to go camping with Sally and the others. I'll be leaving in an hour regardless of whether you come or not. "
Then, there was a rustling sound in the room. Someone seemed to be busy with something.
An hour later, a fragrant wind blew over, and two warm lips kissed Lu Ke's cheek. "Luke, have a good dream. Robert is coming, I'll be leaving first."
Lu Ke grumbled unhappily, turned over, and continued sleeping.
The woman chuckled and walked out of the ward.
Once again, Lu Ke fell asleep.
In the dream, he had an RPG in one hand and a Gatling gun in the other. He attacked with both hands, causing countless aliens to flee in panic. He laughed proudly. "I'm the super policeman! Who ~ else ~ "
Then, he suddenly felt the whole world shake, as if there was a magnitude 10 earthquake. The surrounding houses began to tilt and collapse, crashing towards him.
Lu Ke screamed and sat up abruptly.
Bang!
After a muffled sound, Lu Ke fell back dizzily in the ward. Robert expressionlessly retracted his hands that were shaking Lu Ke's shoulders and touched his sore forehead. "Very good, looks like you're in good spirits. You dared to attack a police officer so early in the morning."
Lu Ke slowly recovered, but he still rubbed his forehead, grimacing in pain. He subconsciously mocked, "Robert, I'm not a criminal, and I'm not your subordinate, okay!"
After saying that, he suddenly froze.
Oh no, I'm used to arguing with Robert. What should I do now?
The system's first mission was to become an official police officer, and the time limit was one month.
Only Robert could make him an official police officer in a month, because Robert was the town's sheriff and the only sheriff.
If Lu Ke really became a police officer, then Robert would really be his superior.
However, perhaps because he was lying on the bed, Robert didn't argue with him like before. Instead, he asked, "How do you feel?"
Lu Ke said, "If I don't count what happened just now, then I think I'm fine. I'm just a little hungry."
Robert said, "Then I'll go buy you something to eat." Then he turned to leave.
Lu Ke hurriedly stopped him. "Don't, I'm fine. Robert, take me home. I want to eat Catherine's breakfast. "
Robert turned his head. "Are you sure you're fine?"
Lu Ke said, "We're not professionals. If I want to leave, I'll definitely need the doctor's permission."
Robert thought about it and went to find the doctor.
The doctor came over and casually asked a few questions before saying that Lu Ke was fine and could be discharged.
However, before leaving, the doctor couldn't help but remind him, "Although there's nothing wrong with your body, you didn't have any signs of a concussion when you came in last night."
Lu Ke helplessly held his forehead. It was indeed a little painful from the collision with Robert's big head.
He could only nod helplessly. "I understand, doctor. Thank you for reminding me. "
A moment later, Lu Ke and Robert sat in the F150 and headed to Shackelford.
After driving for a while, Lu Ke finally couldn't help but say, "Robert, I want to tell you something."
Robert looked at the road and said casually, "Oh, what is it?"
Lu Ke said, "Well, after thinking about it for the past few days, I think you're right."
"Huh?" Robert turned his head and looked at him with a confused expression.
Lu Ke said, "So, I've decided to stay in town and be a police officer."
Whoosh!
There was the sound of gravel rolling and rubbing. The F150 on the road suddenly tilted and rushed off the road, driving into the wasteland by the side of the road.
A few seconds later, the car came to a complete stop.
Fortunately, the road was flat and the F150 wasn't afraid of the slightly bumpy wasteland. There was no danger of the car flipping over.
Robert let go of the brake and looked at Lu Ke in shock. "You … still have a fever?"
Lu Ke rolled his eyes. He had a fever because the System was synchronizing with his brain last night. It wasn't like he was retarded. "No, didn't you hear the doctor when he said my temperature?"
Robert said, "Then why did you change your mind? Didn't you say that you wouldn't stay here and be a police officer? You even said that a small police officer would be so poor that they would have to eat dirt? "
Lu Ke said, "Hehe, tell me. Who told you to describe a police officer as if they were giving you a free salary?"
Robert stared at him. "If you want to be a police officer in Knox City, then you'll be really busy. The police in big cities are even busier. But in our small town, you'll be working under me. How tired do you think it will be? "
Lu Ke nodded helplessly. "Okay, I admit that I was wrong. Robert, you're the boss. So, I'm going to listen to you now. "
Robert stared at him for a moment and suddenly laughed loudly. He slapped his shoulder. "Haha, you finally admitted defeat for once! Luke, remember, you admitted defeat this time. "
Lu Ke said, "Hehe, as long as you're happy, do as you please."
Then, the F150 drove back onto the road and sped home. Only Robert's laughter could be heard from time to time.
When he reached home, Lu Ke couldn't be bothered to wait for Robert. He pushed the door open and entered the house. "Catherine, I'm back."
A small head popped out from the living room. "Hey, Luke, you're better now?"
Lu Ke walked over and patted the little head. "I'm fine. Joseph, what are you doing? Oh, you're screwed. You're secretly playing games. "
The owner of the small head pouted. "Catherine agreed to let me play for an hour. Plus, you're not Claire. You won't tell on me. "
Lu Ke shrugged. "Okay, I won't tell on you. But you promised Catherine, so you have to rest on time."
Joseph was a little unhappy but still nodded. "Okay, I know." Then, he sat back on the floor and continued playing games in front of the TV.
At this time, Catherine walked out of the kitchen and looked at Lu Ke with concern.
Lu Ke walked up and hugged her. "I'm fine, but I'm really hungry now. Is breakfast ready? Catherine. "
Catherine was still worried and looked at Robert, who had just entered the house.
Robert and she knew each other's minds. "It's fine. I asked the doctor."
Kathlyn smiled. "That's good. Come here quickly. I've already prepared breakfast."
Turning her head, she couldn't help but smile and point at Lu Ke's face. "But during breakfast, I want to know which young nurse you hooked up with this time."
Lu Ke was confused. When he walked into the dining room, he saw something red on his cheek on the shiny stainless steel cutlery.
He looked carefully and realized it was a bright red lipstick mark. He was speechless.
When he came home from the hospital, he had met quite a few people. Many of them smiled at him.
He didn't care before. In a small place like Shackelford, everyone was friendly to each other. At most, people were willing to smile at him because he was a little handsome.
Only now did he understand. He came out early in the morning with a bright lipstick mark on his cheek. What else would people think?
Those looks clearly meant "it's good to be young."
He wasn't in a hurry to wipe off the lipstick mark. Instead, he looked carefully for a moment and replayed the memories from yesterday to today.
Robert looked at him with a teasing expression. "What? Do you remember which nurse it was? "
Lu Ke's expression was strange. "I seem to remember that two days ago, Claire and her classmates specially went to buy a lipstick to attend the high school prom."
Robert was a police officer and a chief. He instantly understood the meaning.
He looked at the lipstick mark again and was speechless. "This crazy girl!"
Lu Ke shrugged and pulled out a tissue, wiping off the lipstick mark in a few strokes.
Catherine also brought his breakfast over.
But it was only for Lu Ke.
Robert had eaten before work. He was just taking advantage of the working hours to pick Lu Ke up. Anyway, the place was small, so he came out to patrol.
Catherine was eating with Joseph. Children had to eat on time. They couldn't wait until now.
Lu Ke took out the heated milk from the microwave and poured in the cereal before saying, "Okay, I'm going to eat."
Catherine smiled and nodded. "Okay, do you remember that nurse?"
Lu Ke was calm and collected. He had already taken out a can of dr pepper from the fridge. Robert, who was drinking pepper, spat out the carbonated drink in his mouth.
Fortunately, he was sitting diagonally across from Lu Ke, so the spat did not affect the breakfast.
Lu Ke picked up his breakfast unhurriedly and started eating a ham and lettuce toast.
There was a saying in Texas that everything was bigger in Texas.
For example, the toast in front of him was twice as thick as normal toast. The cut surface was also half the size, and the one-centimeter thick ham slices were also very solid. There were also two pieces of lettuce and Catherine's pickled cucumber slices. The fragrance of the bread, the fragrance of the meat, and the sweet and sour vegetables suited Lu Ke's taste very well.
Even in his previous life, Lu Ke liked to eat things like hamburgers and toast. And it wasn't to save trouble. He really liked the taste.
Therefore, after living in Texas for 18 years, Lu Ke was not unaccustomed to it.
Besides, there were many Chinese living in Texas, especially in Houston and Fort Worth. It was not troublesome to occasionally get people to bring back some Chinese seasonings from there.
When it came to eating, he and Texas hit it off.
The toast, including the meat and vegetables, weighed nearly half a kilogram. He finished it in a few bites. He also finished the warm milk and oatmeal before patting his stomach in satisfaction. "So comfortable. I was so hungry before coming back."
On the other side, Robert had already lowered his voice and explained to Catherine the origin of the lipstick mark, making her laugh.
Hearing Lu Ke's words, she felt strange. "Robert didn't buy you a burger or something first."
