After teasing Selina for a while, Luke focused his attention and began to cultivate the Kunlun Qi Refinement Technique.
With the circulation of his qi, he could clearly sense the subtle changes in his body.
After half an hour of complete cultivation, Luke stopped and closed his eyes for a moment before he took a deep breath.
Selina had already finished her cake, and was now drinking hot chocolate to quench her thirst. "How do you feel?"
Luke nodded. "The increase in my explosive strength is fine."
Then he shook his head. "But it's not smooth at all."
Selina's eyes lit up. "Then you should practice more."
Luke chuckled. Not wanting to expose her intention to eat his ice cream, he tried to deactivate the muscle expansion ability.
But Selina's chest muscles, which were even more developed than Selina's, moved, and then … fell silent.
Luke: ̄ ー ̄?
After experimenting a few more times, he decisively gave up on the idea of deactivating the transformation.
That was because rapidly restoring his muscles would cause serious damage, and his body instinctively resisted such an operation, which was why the deactivation didn't work the first time.
Luke immediately understood. Daddy System said that this ability could be activated, but it wouldn't last forever, but it didn't say that it could be deactivated.
Judging from the current situation, as long as he stayed still for half an hour, his bulging muscles would slowly return to normal.
This was a self-protection mechanism of the body, and wasn't a side effect.
After listening to his explanation, Selina, who was at the side, immediately chuckled. She took out the mobile phone that was specially used at home, aimed it at the muscular man in front of her, and started taking 360-degree pictures without any blind spots.
As she patted him, she did not forget to shout, "Come, come, come. Turn a little to this side and show me your face that can make a living!"
Luke glared at her.
Selina, however, nodded quickly. "That's right. Keep it up. Don't turn into those perverted expressions again. "
Luke rolled his eyes and ignored her protest. He walked to the side and opened the data he had just recorded.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Selina, but that he had given her a lot of work, and she would have to pay the price sooner or later.
As long as Director Selina didn't mention the strike, he would put up with it.
…
In the subsequent tests, Luke didn't use his original body to test the muscle expansion ability again.
This was the first time he had used it at the lowest level. His body was like a cheetah that had transformed into a leopard, becoming much thicker.
Anyone with normal eyesight could tell the difference.
Although there had always been people who suspected that this deity might have superpowers, they generally speculated that this power was related to shooting.
If the main body suddenly had an additional ability with obvious characteristics, then there would be even more people who would pay attention to and monitor him.
Luke didn't want that.
He was supposed to be an ordinary, weak detective who relied on his marksmanship to make a living.
Things like demolishing a house with his bare hands and flipping a car on the street had absolutely nothing to do with him.
After that, the full test was done by the Level Two clone alone. This way, the female director didn't have a chance to eat ice cream again.
However, if she really saw his muscles expand to the limit, she probably wouldn't feel like she was eating ice cream. Instead, she would feel like she was eating … raw pork.
Luke's bulging muscles didn't look like the spindle-shaped Meat Mountain Man, but they were similar to the White Book of Ghost Travels that he had read in his previous life.
This was completely different from the "beautiful muscles" in Selena's mind.
She liked "art movies," not "thrillers."
Thanks to the help and coordination of Luke's other physical abilities, he didn't end up as ugly as the Meat Mountain Man.
Whether he was strong or not was a matter of time, but if he was ugly once, he could be remembered for a lifetime.
Even someone like Tony, who pursued handsomeness, was wary of the photos of Knight with his arms crossed!
Based on this alone, the tycoon's psychological advantage in front of Knight was reduced by at least 21.3%.
Luke didn't want to give the tycoon a chance to even out the score.
The guy would get cocky if he was able to even out the score, and if he was cocky, something would happen.
Knight also needed this ability as a trump card. It could be integrated into his superpower system to form a combination of explosive power, control, toughness, and recovery.
Luke still couldn't reach the level of "muscle armor" like the White Book of Comics, but his bulging muscles were enough to absorb most of the side effects of a tenfold burst.
Even if he punched ten times harder, his bones wouldn't break. At most, some of his muscles would collapse.
Bone injuries would have a greater impact on combat, and his recovery speed would be slower.
On the other hand, the recovery speed of Elementary Self-Healing and Light of Life could be calculated in seconds.
At this point in his analysis, Luke couldn't help but rub his chin and mumble to himself, "My luck seems a little off recently. Why is it that I'm leaning more and more toward being a meat shield? I used to be an expert archer. "
That being said, he didn't think too much about it.
He had always adhered to the principle of "safety first". Coupled with his inner strength as a super meat shield, he was definitely the king who could survive until the end.
After all, in this cold and cruel society, the leftover would always be the king!
…
Luke's invitation to Jennifer to switch to a new job had basically gone smoothly.
Basically, it would be settled in a month.
Dustin was an old acquaintance, and Luke didn't want to abuse his superpower on him. Thus, it was just a normal private conversation.
Jennifer was a strong-willed lawyer, but in the end, she couldn't withstand her husband's pillow talk.
Before the end of 2011, she officially joined PDD in mid-November as the head of the Criminal Investigation Department.
This was a new department that had been set up specifically for Jennifer.
However, for Director Sai, this was more like an important department that could help him get rid of a lot of troublesome matters.
PDD's criminal investigations had to be meticulous and flawless.
This meticulous and flawless wasn't aimed at everything, but it was necessary to ensure that the crimes were real and effective, as well as who the real mastermind of the crimes was.
Selina had been a detective for many years and wasn't a stranger to cases, but she didn't have the patience to investigate more than ten cases at the same time.
The new head, Jennifer, was different. She was a deputy prosecutor in the New York District Attorney's Office.
If it wasn't for the problem of turning green in the past two years, the position of chief prosecutor might have been hers.
The chief prosecutor's main task was similar to that of the head of PDD's Criminal Investigation Department, which was to direct others to search for and analyze clues and evidence.
In terms of character and ability, Jennifer was indeed more suitable for this job than the director.
In fact, she adapted to the new job faster than Luke had expected, and could even be said to be like a fish in water.
As for whether her performance had anything to do with the Life One that Dustin had consumed, Luke didn't know.
He only knew that Dustin, who had always arrived early at the HQ office, was late.
Perhaps he could award the boss a "PDD Medal of Honor and Valor" in the future? Otherwise, it would be a waste of the boss's heroic efforts over the past few days.
