Luke and Selina's conversation with Pierce didn't last long, and ended forty minutes later.
Driving away from Jennifer's villa, Selina sighed. "That's showbiz. Todd has always wanted to be a director. He wants to direct this movie too."
Luke shrugged. "In this society, intrigue is inevitable once you reach a certain level. It's the same even for police officers. A police officer who doesn't want to be a chief isn't a good cook. "
"Haha, you're talking nonsense again." Selina laughed, but she still couldn't help but sigh. "But when I watch TV, I always feel that they don't live as hard as us police officers."
Luke chuckled. "Celebrities may have a hard life, but that depends on who they're competing with. Unless they're rich kids who don't need to work hard and only want to enjoy life, everyone else has to work hard if they want to live a better life. "
Luke and Selina went home as they chatted.
Selina found that odd. "Why are you home?"
Luke said, "You've missed a lot of your training in the last two days. Elsa happened to say that this case isn't urgent, so you can make up for it now. "
Selina closed her eyes in pain. "No wonder you said that nobody's life is easy. I'm beginning to understand how difficult it is."
Luke smiled but didn't say anything. I'm staying up late every night. Did I complain to anyone?
The studio case went on for a few days. Luke stopped following up on it, and Elsa put the case on the back burner.
It wasn't the first time that Luke had run into something like this. For him, it was like a gentle breeze that didn't linger on his mind.
However, two nights ago, Todd was robbed on his way home.
The robber punched him in the stomach and dragged him into an alley.
After that, Todd was forced to play blackjack with the psycho robber for quite a while.
Then, the robber suddenly stopped dealing cards and picked up a random stick.
Thud! The screenwriter's head hurt, and he passed out in the alley.
System: You have defeated Todd and received a list of his abilities.
Todd's abilities: Basic English, Basic Screenwriting … Basic Roping (100 credit points)
Naturally, it was Luke who had done this.
Tot was the only one who could be tested on good people, but he was finally able to do it on Tot.
With the blackjack alone, he had won 20 rounds against Todd. Counting the punches he had thrown at Todd when he caught him, Todd had lost 21 rounds to him.
After subduing Todd with a few punches, he received a notification and immediately learned the Basic Roping Skill.
He then used the ability to deduce how Sarah and Mike had been attacked, and realized how Todd had killed them.
Don't think that your basic abilities are trash.
According to the system's judgment, one had to at least be outstanding among ordinary people in order to reach the basic ability level.
For example, Todd was already a successful novelist and a well-known screenwriter. The system only recognized his basic English and screenwriting skills.
Using a 100-point system to define it, most of the things that most people knew would be rated below 60 points by the system, so they would be directly ignored.
Basic abilities with the same name also had different levels, but Daddy System had always been aloof and couldn't be bothered to differentiate between them, so it categorized them all into the basic category.
Todd's Basic Roping Skill was one of the best basic abilities.
He could accurately tie a running bull or a galloping horse in a noose from dozens of meters away, and was even better than rodeo champions.
It was safe to say that he was talented in roping, and was very suitable to be a cowboy.
But he probably wanted to be a director more, so he used his ability to kill people.
Luke didn't kill Todd.
The guy was an excellent test subject.
Judging from Todd's resume, this was the first time someone had died in a film crew he was a part of.
He had to have a purpose for killing people, and it remained to be seen what kind of deal he had made with Sarah Poch.
Luke planned to keep the guy alive and see how unlucky he was.
Otherwise, what if he was tempted by the abilities of his allies, but he didn't want to kill innocent people?
For example, Bobby hadn't been qualified to learn Mental Communication yet, and Bobby wasn't grateful to Luke yet.
Luke thought that it was probably because Bobby hadn't made a fortune yet, and couldn't go to Sheerah openly.
But who knew when Universal Cube Technologies would make a fortune?
Todd had delivered himself to Luke's doorstep. He had committed heinous crimes, but he hadn't committed them repeatedly, which was perfect.
Luke magnanimously let him go and turned his attention to Cosmic Cube Technology Co., Ltd.
According to reliable intelligence, Bullseye had returned to New York, and Luke could lift the high alert.
He first went to see his public relations manager, Bobby.
After communicating with Bobby, Bobby used his telepathic communication ability, and then … Daddy System appeared again as expected.
System: Mental energy detected trying to establish a connection. Do you accept?
Of course, Luke refused. He couldn't have been more excited.
Daddy System could really stop mental abilities from peeking into his head, which was very important.
What he had been most worried about was running into powerful mental abilities, such as Professor X, the White Queen, or Gretel.
He couldn't let those people find out that he had a system and knew part of the truth of this world, or he would be in a bottomless abyss.
If anyone found out, what awaited him might be spending the rest of his life in a lab.
But now, Daddy System had actually provided him with a layer of protection.
Although he didn't know how strong the protection was, it was very important for him. At the very least, Daddy System could remind him if someone was peeking into his head, so that his secret wouldn't be exposed.
That way, he might be able to escape if he ran into a cheating player like Professor X.
He didn't believe that someone in a wheelchair could run faster than him.
After all, it wasn't just his own strength that could be improved; he also had Tony Stark's modification abilities.
As long as he had enough time and money, he couldn't even estimate what kind of combat ability he would be able to wield.
After the important experiment, he asked about selling the technology. Bobby said awkwardly, "Miss Jenny is very capable. She's already contacted a senior executive at Google, and we'll meet in a couple of days."
Luke chuckled and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be ashamed. Her dad's a magnate, and you don't get the same treatment. I just want to know if you'll be of any help in her negotiations. "
Bobby nodded his head with a strange expression. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "But Miss Jenny … really misses you."
