Dawn arrived, and there was a gentle breeze.
The thin white curtains fluttered slightly, and the rays of dawn that belonged to Shackelford naughtily seeped through the ever-changing gap, bringing flickering light to the quiet room.
At six in the morning, her precise biological clock kicked in.
Selina slowly opened her eyes and yawned lazily. Out of habit, she reached out to the side.
There was no one there.
But with her keen senses, she could still detect some residual warmth, which proved that someone had been lying there half an hour ago.
This discovery made her yawn even wider. In any case, someone wouldn't get a chance to mock it as a crocodile's kiss.
Selina rubbed her cheeks, which felt a little sore.
Fine, it had to be a psychological effect.
With her current physique and the powerful effects of her evolved abilities, it was impossible for her to be injured even if she took a nap after being stabbed, let alone muscle fatigue.
Thinking that, Selina narrowed her eyes and walked into the bathroom as if she were sleepwalking. She took out the electric toothbrush that Luke had ordered for her and stuffed it into her mouth.
Feeling the vibrating toothbrush in her mouth and the rich and fresh minty foam of the toothpaste, she walked into the shower and turned on the tap to let the hot water pour over her head.
The slightly high temperature of the water caused her body to gradually wake up from her slumber. Selina's squinted eyes finally opened completely, and she was full of energy again.
Squeezing out a lot of shower gel, she looked at the white, greasy, semi-liquid in her palm and couldn't help but think of something. She exclaimed in disdain, before she couldn't help but complain, "Is that guy a bottle of shower gel?"
Thinking that, Selina couldn't help but burst into laughter. She didn't forget to squeeze the bottle of shower gel a few more times as she mumbled angrily, "Squeeze it clean, squeeze it clean, squeeze it clean."
…
Twenty minutes earlier, Luke had finished showering in the bathroom on the ground floor of the farm villa. A weak shockwave swept across his body, and all the water droplets were shaken off.
He tapped the necklace-like nano device on his neck, and the nano armor quickly covered his body, turning into a white singlet and sweatpants.
Entering the kitchen, he began to make breakfast for the day.
Gold Nugget unhurriedly paused the show on its phone, got up from the rocking chair on the porch, and lazily pushed open the half-closed door to the kitchen.
Without even turning his head, Luke had already tossed the tuna burger he had just made over.
The hamburger fell steadily into the dog head's mouth without any signs of separating.
The dog head lay down lazily and began to chew slowly.
Luke finally turned around and looked at it. "What's wrong? Are you still mad at Selina?"
The dog head didn't say anything. It just turned its head away a little.
Luke was lost for words when he saw how it was sneaking glances at him. A moment later, he said patiently, "It can't be helped. We didn't know you could split and reproduce."
The dog head remained silent, maintaining its aggrieved expression.
Luke was both angry and amused. He put down the ingredients and rubbed the dog's head. "Okay, I'll give you 50% more energy every day. Deal?"
The dog head's eyes lit up, and it reached out its paw to slap his hand as a vow.
Luke comforted the dog head, washed his hands, and started cooking again. Every now and then, he would give it some food.
The problem with Gold Nugget and Selina appeared on the night after the battle.
During Selina's awakening, the dog head, which had absorbed too much evolutionary energy, couldn't help but split itself.
In symbiotic organisms, this was reproduction, commonly known as … giving birth.
Why were symbiotic organisms most interested in Life One, self-healing energy, and evolutionary energy? Because it would promote their evolution.
But after they reached maturity, there was a high chance that they could split and reproduce.
More troublesome was that Selina's evolutionary ability was very special.
The "child" that the dog head split off had received too much evolutionary energy, and was "bound" to Selina the moment it was born.
This "child" was a special symbiotic organism. It didn't have any self-awareness, and was completely a part of Selina.
But it also had most of the characteristics of symbiotic organisms, such as not sharing a symbiotic target with another species.
No matter how close Gold Nugget was to Selina, it was still a normal symbiotic organism. So, it was "pushed out" of her body, and could no longer coexist with her.
This was a huge blow to the dog head.
Even more depressing was that it couldn't be blamed on Selina. After all, it had been happily feasting on her when she was evolving!
It couldn't control itself, and Selina's awakening was even less likely, so it couldn't be controlled either.
In the end, it was its "child" that had split off that stole its territory, so there was even less reason for it to complain.
Besides, its true symbiotic target had always been Dollar, and Dollar would always be with Selina.
Strictly speaking, this accidental "birth" had only deprived the dog head of its right to have a foot in two boats.
This made it depressed and listless during the long vacation, and it even went to the porch alone at night to daydream.
That was because Selina no longer needed its symbiotic partner to help her absorb evolutionary energy at night. Its "child" had already taken over the role of an energy converter 24 hours a day.
As for the creaking of the second floor every night, it didn't have much to do with its current mood.
Now that it received Luke's promise, Gold Nugget was instantly in a better mood.
The point wasn't that 50 wasn't important. The point was that the fiend had allowed it to live in a symbiotic relationship with Selina, but it had merely switched its "boat" from Selina to Luke.
In this family, Luke corresponded to Selina, so symbiotic Luke corresponded to symbiotic Selina. It was still the closest member of the family.
Luke also felt that 50% wasn't the point. The point was that half meant that it wasn't complete, and 50 sounded like a lot.
Hm, he definitely wasn't bullying the dog head for being bad at math.
After the man and the dog reached a mutually satisfactory conclusion, they relaxed and focused on what they were supposed to do. Luke focused on what he was doing, and the dog head focused on eating.
In this harmonious and tranquil atmosphere, two people, one big and one small, ran over from hundreds of meters away.
When they climbed up a small hill, they saw the lights of the villa's kitchen a hundred meters away.
The little girl cheered. "Wohoo! Luke really is up. Dad, hurry up. I'm going to eat breakfast."
The big guy had a helpless expression on his face. "Baby, Luke gets up at six every day on time. That's a" top secret "you told me."
The little girl couldn't care less about her father's hidden mockery. Her heart had already flown to her brother's dining table.
Luke's breakfast is still the best! She mumbled to herself, before she immediately regretted it. Sorry, mom. I'm not saying that your food isn't good, it's just that Luke's cooking is better.
The distance of more than a hundred meters was only a matter of ten seconds for the two of them.
When they reached the villa, the little girl couldn't wait to rush to the kitchen window. She pressed her chubby face against the glass and squeezed out a comical "flat" face. "Luke, Luke."
