System: You have received Carol Mira's gratitude. You may learn all of her abilities.
Carol Mira's ability: Elementary Self-Healing (X-gene. Prerequisite: 40 Strength). Requires 10000 credit points.
Luke couldn't help but smile.
Why hadn't he caught Carol, and even given her a way out?
Because Carol had given him a huge surprise.
Carol Mira was the first case he had taken on that morning, the ordinary woman who had been shot dead in her apartment.
Carol was just a waitress in a restaurant, and had no criminal record. That was also one of the reasons why Luke had let her go.
As for why Cheney's S.H.I.E.L.D. had arrested Carol, that was obvious.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had probably noticed Carol's resurrection a long time ago, and was here to deal with the aftermath.
So, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s disappearance from the morgue probably had something to do with S.H.I.E.L.D. At the very least, it was Cheney's team who had erased the surveillance footage.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibility was to cover up supernatural incidents like this, otherwise ordinary people would panic when they found out.
It wasn't hard to understand Cheney's team's behavior.
However, Carol's Elementary Self-Healing ability was definitely one of the abilities that Luke wanted the most.
Since he had obtained this ability from her, he was willing to return the favor even if she didn't know about it.
More importantly, Luke had once again learned some of the rules of the system.
Carol Mira's gratitude had actually allowed him to directly unlock the right to learn her ability.
Luke was very excited, as it meant that he wasn't limited to obtaining abilities from bad guys.
It was fine to be a good guy, as long as the other party was grateful.
Connecting this to the idea of "luck," Luke hypothesized that the right to learn might not be a matter of luck.
Carol's situation was very telling.
Luke was a police officer, not a fake FBI agent who had come to arrest her. After he let her go, he had earned her gratitude.
At that moment, Carol's subconscious had automatically turned on some kind of defense mechanism, allowing Luke to obtain abilities.
The second scenario was that Luke had won a bet against Robert. This was a forceful lowering of Robert's defense mechanism. When it was lowered to a certain level, Luke could still learn the ability.
But in the process, Robert's defense mechanism would inevitably decline, and he would continue to have bad luck.
The third possibility was that Luke had killed the criminals. At this moment, he was like a hunter. As long as he killed the other party, everything of the other party would be his harvest.
However, this conjecture needed to be tested further.
He just didn't know if Carol's luck was starting to run out.
After he was done with the most important analysis, Luke considered Elementary Self-Healing.
According to the records on the file, Carlo was shot the day before yesterday and sent to the morgue at the forensics center until today.
She had been shot twice in the chest and abdomen, once in the intestines and once in the heart.
It seemed that Elementary Self-Healing wasn't very fast, but it was a life-saving skill that Luke couldn't let go of.
But these points … cost 10000?
Compared to the 100 credits for Basic Firearms and 200 credits for Basic Special Combat, Elementary Self-Healing was ridiculously expensive.
Moreover, there was a prerequisite, which was to reach 40 Strength.
In other words, the Elementary Self-Healing ability had a high requirement for physical fitness.
Starting from Level 6, each level would give four Basic Attribute Points, and if he were to put all of them into Strength, he would have to level up five more times.
Now that the experience requirement for leveling up was getting higher and higher, Luke wasn't sure when he could reach 40 Strength.
Luke pondered for a long time, when Selina called out, and he opened his eyes.
Selina was lying on the couch in an even more paralyzed position than he was. Her feet were facing Luke, and she was only wearing a pair of sports pants under her loose T-shirt.
Luke's angle was perfect, and he could see her curves clearly.
"What's for dinner? I don't want takeout anymore, "said Selina.
Luke was in a good mood, and Selina had given him a great gift. He stood up with a smile and said, "I'll cook. Just wait."
Selina's eyes widened in surprise. "You can cook?"
Most people in America didn't know how to cook, or were too lazy to do so.
There were a lot of finished and semi-finished food. He could buy a lot of it home and heat it up in the microwave for a while.
There was a kitchen in their apartment, but it didn't have a gas stove or a range hood, but there was an oven.
Luke chuckled. "Just wait."
Selina watched expectantly as Luke rummaged through the fridge for a while before he went into the kitchen.
Luke came out a few minutes later.
Selina looked at his empty hands. "Where's dinner?"
Luke said, "I'm cooking. It'll be a while. You can eat something else if you're hungry. Do you want chips? It's garlic cheese flavored. "
Selina said disdainfully, "No. I feel like I'm lying in a pile of garlic even when I'm dreaming."
Luke shrugged and tossed the bag of weird-flavored chips that he had accidentally bought into the coffee table, and continued to use them as decorations.
Forty minutes later, there was a beep in the kitchen, and Luke finally moved his eyes away from the laptop and got up to enter the kitchen.
Ten minutes later, Luke came out again. "Dinner will be ready in ten minutes."
Selina sat up. "I'll go check it out."
Luke chuckled and didn't stop her.
Selina returned in a matter of seconds. The moment she entered, she saw a used chopping board with some scraps on it and a steaming rice cooker.
She could only walk out in disappointment. "What did you do? I can't see anything. "
Luke said, "Just wait."
Luke had bought the rice cooker.
Houston had China Town, and a lot of Chinese lived here. China's food culture could be found here as well. Unlike most Chinese, Americans didn't have access to Chinese food.
On the contrary, there were a lot of authentic Chinese restaurants in Texas that were doing quite well.
The supermarket that Luke and Selina had visited earlier was run by a Chinese. It wasn't hard to buy a rice cooker, and he also bought a lot of condiments from China.
A few minutes later, Luke entered the kitchen again, and Selina followed him.
Luke opened the rice cooker and mixed the rice with a wooden spoon. He then picked up some with his chopsticks and tasted it, only to find that it wasn't as salty as before.
Then, he took some soy sauce from the side and put it into the rice cooker. He mixed the rice a few more times before tasting it.
