The dog head hesitated for a moment before it replied, "It's not that delicious, but like … like the special energy in your and Selina's bodies. It doesn't feel the same, but it's definitely delicious. "
Luke thought for a moment before he said, "Come with me."
The dog head immediately ended the communication and slipped out of the room.
Luke took it to the rear deck and crouched down to whisper in its ear, "Is the liquid you're talking about over there?" He pointed at the deck where he had splashed the unknown substance in the milk bucket.
Gold Nugget barked softly in agreement.
"That liquid is the same thing that attracted you to the tentacle, right?" Luke asked again.
Gold Nugget tilted its head and thought for a moment before it barked.
Luke nodded, deep in thought. "It's roughly the same, but there's a slight difference?"
Gold Nugget barked again to show that he was right.
Luke nodded. "You can go back now. I'll come back later."
Gold Nugget whimpered.
Luke said helplessly, "I don't know what this thing is at all. What if you get a stomachache?"
Gold Nugget wagged its tail.
Luke directly cut off its thoughts. "Don't forget Selina. You might not get a stomachache, but she might."
Gold Nugget wilted and walked back dejectedly.
Luke rubbed the dog's head with a smile. "Alright, you did well this time. I'll give you an extra bonus when we get back, okay?"
Gold Nugget perked up. It nudged Luke's hand and ran off.
The dog head was delighted. With a little more money, it could buy itself a top-of-the-line laptop to go online.
Wasn't there a saying on the Internet: Nobody knows you're playing against a dog?
It could play happily!
After the dog head disappeared, Luke pondered what it had just said and looked at his credit points in the system: 109880.
For the first time, his credit points had exceeded 100,000.
Something that he had tested a long time ago popped up in his head again.
After a brief hesitation, he made up his mind, and his credit points instantly became 9,880.
Two notifications flashed in the system.
System: Upgrading the inventory module requires 100000 credit points. Upgrade?
System: Upgrade of the inventory module completed.
In passing, Luke added one stat point to Mental Strength.
Spirit: 26
Looking at the interface, he was extremely satisfied.
After adding all five points this time, his Spirit would reach 30. It was still a long way from 40.
He needed 90,000 EXP to level up to 15, and 100,000 EXP to level up to 16.
Luke didn't think he could save the people on the cruise ship a fourth time.
Or should he work hard to open up a new world of farming monsters? Then, he might be able to reach the final step before going to New York?
While thinking, he walked to the side of the huge tentacle and started fiddling with it.
"Hmm, the meat is very sturdy …"
"The stench is a little strong. Are we going to roast it for Gold Nugget?"
"These spikes are interesting …"
After a good while, Luke finally returned, satisfied.
Feeling the empty storage space, he was elated. How many life-saving items could he stuff into it? If he put food and water in it, it would be enough for Selina to eat for decades!
With that in mind, he changed into a new set of clothes, shoes, and hat.
After cutting the octopus leg, he felt like his whole body was covered in a fishy smell.
After that, he leaned against a passage and observed the rear deck from a distance. He then took out a bag of chocolate beans from his waist pocket and ate them one by one.
He didn't bother with the tourists and staff downstairs.
The criminals didn't lock them up, but gathered them in several entertainment venues.
There was nothing lacking there. Now that even the criminals were dead, these people could do whatever they wanted as long as they didn't touch the tentacle.
How many people would come up to watch the tentacle wasn't something he could control.
He was alone, and a police officer at that. It was impossible for him to control the movements of more than two thousand people.
Just like that, an hour passed. A lot of crew members had already appeared on the deck and were craning their necks to look around.
Luke sighed. "Let's just watch. At most, it'll just be another source of material for an American horror story."
At this rate, the majority of the tourists would be following the crew members.
In an hour at most, the deck would be filled with onlookers.
Bored, he took out another piece of chocolate and took a big bite. "Flegg, don't screw up, or I won't trust you in the future."
As he spoke, he seemed to hear some movement in his ears. He looked to the west and saw a few red dots lighting up in the night sky.
Luke narrowed his eyes and guessed that it was a large plane.
Very soon, the plane approached the surface of the sea and landed with a rumble, leaving a long white trail in its wake.
Luke raised an eyebrow. This thing could actually take off and land on the water? Also, it looked very unfamiliar.
There weren't many large surface planes, and military planes were even rarer. But this large plane in front of him didn't look like any of them.
Could it be a special model that some secret department had created? As he pondered this, he saw a few hovercrafts come out of the plane's area and pull fully armed people over.
Luke moved closer to the passage and leaned against the wall. He took out a lollipop and ate it.
After sixty to seventy fully armed soldiers arrived on the deck, Luke stepped forward and greeted an old acquaintance. "Agent Flegg."
Flegg, who was in the lead, simply waved at the others, indicating for them to proceed as usual, and walked over with two agents.
When he approached Luke, a smile appeared on his serious face, but he quickly put it away and stretched out his hand. "Luke, just call me Flegg. Can you tell me what's going on?"
Luke gestured at him. "Let's talk on the way. Someone wants to see you."
Flegg was stumped for a moment. I know someone here?
Thinking that, he followed Luke.
Luke gave a brief account of what happened earlier, except that he left a huge hole in the mutant giant octopus's head and then forced it to jump into the sea to escape. He only said that the octopus returned to the sea after eating the criminals and the special force.
Flegg listened quietly. After Luke finished, he raised his hand and walked away before he spoke into the walkie-talkie. "Lock down the right side of the aft deck. We suspect that there's an unknown substance in the form of a light red liquid. Collect it as soon as you find any residue. "
After giving this order, he took out another phone and quickly said a few words before hanging up. The four of them then continued forward and arrived at Robert's room.
Luke knocked on the door. "It's me. Agent Flegg is here too. "
