It also proved that a troublesome monster like Bruce wasn't unrestrained, and that many departments were interested in him.
Tonight, the two teams of FBI agents plus the man, woman, and child made up three parties.
However, the man and woman wanted to get rid of Bruce, while the two FBI teams wanted to capture Bruce.
Judging from the current situation, it wouldn't do Luke any harm to have three parties involved. At the very least, the two FBI teams would have to clean up the mess.
He checked the system notifications.
System: Stop Bruce the Tyrannosaurus Rex from stealing important intelligence. Completed.
Total experience: 1,000. Total credit: 1,000.
Contribution rate: 50%. EXP + 500. Credit + 500.
Save Jeff, Karen, Tim and Natalie. Completed.
Total experience: 200. Total credit: 200.
Contribution rate: 100%. EXP + 200. Credit + 200.
Luke was satisfied with the 700 experience and credit points he had earned after all this trouble.
However, Bruce was also quite a weirdo.
Luke had beaten him up badly, but the system didn't deem him defeated.
It was the same for the blonde who had been shot in the thigh and butt by Luke.
The blonde hadn't been lying. Physical attacks were ineffective against them, and they wouldn't cause any substantial damage if they were hit.
There was clearly something wrong with the blonde's toy banana, but Luke couldn't find it, nor could he use it.
Otherwise, he would've shot Bruce with the toy banana, and he would've learned what those guys were and what their abilities were.
As for learning Bruce's abilities? Luke thought about how honorable this Mr. Tyrannosaurus Rex was, and didn't think he could learn that ability.
That was because the system would never let him learn an ugly ability like this!
There was no point in thinking too much about it. Luke felt that it was better to wait for news from Wales.
As a lone ranger, he wasn't as well-informed as the FBI's 17th Division.
The next two days passed peacefully.
Agent Flegg was the only one who came to see Luke the next day.
Flegg didn't even enter the room. He simply stared at Luke for a moment before he said, "Detective Luke, if something like this happens again, you can call me."
Luke shook his head with a smile. "It's not like I run into this often."
Ignoring Luke's attempt to change the subject, Flegg said again, "I think you're a man of conviction. When this country is in danger, you will stand up to protect it. "
Luke frowned but didn't say anything.
Flegg lowered his voice. "I belong to America. I will give you a signal to prove it. But Wales and the rest … hehe. "
Luke couldn't help but feel that his expression was full of disdain.
After uttering those inexplicable words, Flegg left.
But when Luke went to the police department the next day, he received a commendation from the Department of Defense.
Of course, this was purely a verbal compliment. He couldn't even get a medal.
Luke knew that this was the signal that Flegg was talking about.
Flegg's meaning was obvious. He wanted to prove that he was related to the Department of Defense, while hinting that Wales and the others … didn't belong to America.
Luke was helpless. Of course I know that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't belong to the United States!
Flegg's organization was most likely a purebred American product.
It was no wonder that both sides were carrying out such activities to contain supernatural beings! No wonder Flegg and Wales didn't like each other!
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Luke felt that he might have to side with Flegg in the future.
This had nothing to do with human feelings.
It was because S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal problems were too serious. In his previous life, S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't a joke.
However, the prerequisite for all this was that he would run into another supernatural creature that he couldn't handle.
Luke felt that it was inevitable.
On the other side, Tim and Natalie said goodbye and left that night.
They had completed their mission this time, and didn't need their boss to take the blame for everything else. They still had to work hard on their plans for retirement.
Jeff and Selina were too frightened, and Tim helped them apply for leave at MBI.
Jeff's two daughters also went on a spring camping trip, and wouldn't be back for another ten days.
After some discussion, the couple simply went abroad for a vacation in Marrakech, which Tim had mentioned.
On one hand, it would prevent Bruce's accomplices from attacking them, and on the other hand, they could relax from the tension they had been feeling for the past few days.
Selina was quite envious of this. "You can take a vacation whenever you want. It seems like a good life."
Luke coughed and said, "Don't forget that Jeff has been parking in Section D for the past twelve years."
Selina hummed and nodded helplessly. "That's right. He's the kind of dispensable middle-level employee that Bruce described. It won't affect his company whether he takes a vacation or not, right? "
Luke nodded. "We, on the other hand, clearly aren't dispensable."
Selina could only acknowledge that fact.
She and Luke were now the most capable team in Westside's Major Crimes Division, and were as efficient as two other teams combined.
They had even been promoted to level three detectives not long ago.
It had taken Elsa eight years to climb her way up from a minor officer to a level three detective before she was finally promoted to sergeant.
Luke and Selina had started as a town's sheriff, and completed the process in ten months.
It would take two years for the two of them to get their diplomas while they were still working, and a level-three detective had to stay on the job for two years before they could apply for a promotion.
For now, it was impossible for them to get a promotion.
Most of the people here had sufficient qualifications, but only these two people's contributions exceeded the quota, but their qualifications were insufficient.
It would be a lot easier for Dustin to have subordinates like them.
There was only one really important thing in the past two days, and that was that Luke had finally spent the last of his stat points.
Mental Strength: 20
Having made preparations in advance, Luke skipped work early in the afternoon and told Selina to take care of things on his own, before he went to the basement alone.
Compared with his earlier extensive upgrades, he now had a full set of equipment to monitor his body and a lot of medical equipment.
The equipment could record the changes in his body during the upgrade, and make it easier for him to inject himself with nutrition instead of stuffing himself with food.
The advancement process was similar to what Luke had predicted. Apart from the discomfort that was far beyond his imagination, everything else was within the normal range.
With a bitter smile, Luke got up from the special bed and pulled out the patches and IV needles. He heaved a long sigh. "Damn it! The brain really isn't something that can be casually strengthened. "
Personally speaking, the pain of the upgrade was at least double the pain of Mental Strength: 20 > Dexterity: 20 > Strength: 20.
Thankfully, Elementary Self-Healing had given him enough confidence that he wouldn't despair no matter how painful it was.
Otherwise, he really feared that his head might explode during the upgrade.
A few hours had passed, and the most intense modification was over, but his head was still swollen and itchy.
