Chapter 612 Big Harvest, and There’s Soone Who Wants to See You
Hesitating for a mont, the dog replied, “It’s not that kind of tasty, but more like... like that special energy in you and Selina. It feels different, but it’s definitely delicious.”
Thinking for a mont, Luke said, “Co with .”
The dog imdiately cut the communication and slipped out of the neighboring room.
Luke led it to the aft deck, crouched down, and whispered in its ear, “Is the liquid you ntioned over there?” He pointed at where the unknown substance had sprayed over the deck.
Gold Nugget barked lightly in agreent. “The liquid should be the sa thing that attracted you to the tentacle, right?” Luke continued asking.
This ti, Gold Nugget tilted its head and thought for a mont, before it barked.
Luke nodded, deep in thought. “They’re basically the sa, but with minor differences?”
Gold Nugget barked again to show that he was right.
Luke nodded. “You can go back now. I’ll co over in a bit.”
Gold Nugget began to whine.
Luke was rather helpless. “We don’t know what that thing is at all. What if it gives you a stomachache?”
Gold Nugget wagged its tail.
Luke firmly destroyed its hopes. “Don’t forget Selina. This might not be harmful to you, but it could be to her.”
Gold Nugget withered and left dejectedly.
Luke rubbed the dog’s head with a smile. “Alright, you did very well this ti. I’ll give you an extra bonus when we get back, alright?”
Gold Nugget perked up. Bumping into Luke’s hand, it then slipped away.
The dog head was elated. Hehe, with a little more money, I’ll be able to buy a top quality laptop and go online.
Wasn’t there that saying — nobody knows you’re a dog on the Internet.
That way, it would be able to play to its heart’s content!
After the dog disappeared, Luke considered what it just said and looked at his credit points in the system: 109,880.
For the first ti, his credit balance was above 100,000.
That thing which he tried a long ti ago popped into his head again.
After hesitating for only a brief mont, he made a decision, and his credit points instantly beca 9,880.
Two notifications imdiately popped up in the system.
System: 100,000 is required to upgrade the inventory function. Upgrade?
System: The inventory function has been upgraded.
Luke then added a stat point to ntal Strength. ntal strength 26. He couldn’t be any more satisfied as he looked at the panel. After he was done adding these five stat points, his ntal Strength would reach 30... but he still had a long way to go to 40.
He needed 90,000 experience points to reach Level 15, and probably 100,000 to reach Level 16.
Luke didn’t think that he would get four more chances to save an entire ship of people.
He still had to keep grinding, and do his best to open new raid areas. That way, he might be able to reach the threshold before he went to New York.
As he thought that, he walked over to the giant tentacle and started working on it.
“Wow, this at is really tough...
“The fishy sll is a little strong. Do I have to roast it for Gold Nugget?
“These spikes are a little interesting...”
After toiling for a good long while, Luke finally went back, pleased.
He was elated when he sensed the empty space in his inventory. How many lifesaving things could he store inside? If he put food and water in it, there would be enough to feed Selina for decades!
As he was thinking that, he changed out of his outerwear and shoes.
After cutting up the octopus tentacle, it felt like his entire body reeked of a fishy sll.
After everything was done, he leaned against the wall inside a passage and kept an eye on the aft deck while he munched on chocolate beans which he took out of his waist pack.
He didn’t bother with the tourists and crew downstairs.
The hostiles hadn’t locked them up, and simply gathered them together in the entertainnt venues.
Those places didn’t lack anything. Now that the hostiles were all dead, those people could do whatever they wanted, as long as they left the octopus tentacle alone.
How many people would co running over to look at the octopus tentacle wasn’t sothing he could control.
He was alone, and he was a police officer. It was impossible for him to control the movents of two thousand people.
An hour went by just like that. Many of the crew mbers had already started to appear on the deck as they examined the surroundings from high vantage points.
Luke heaved a sigh. “Look if you want. At most, it’ll just beco another Arican legend and horror story.”
Looking at how the situation was unfolding, it would be the tourists after this.
In an hour at most, the deck would be packed with spectators.
Bored, Luke fished out a chocolate bar and took a big bite. “Flegg, don’t screw this up, or in the future, I won’t believe you can get things done.”
Just as he said that, he heard so activity, and saw a few red lights in the night sky to the west.
Luke narrowed his eyes and deduced that it was a large plane.
In a short while, the plane approached the ocean surface and landed with a loud rumble, leaving long white trails behind it on the water.
Luke raised an eyebrow. This vehicle could actually land on water? Also, its model was unfamiliar.
There weren’t many types of large seaplanes, and even fewer of them were military aircraft. This large plane looked like none of them.
Was this a special plane created by a certain secret departnt? As Luke pondered this, he saw a few hovercrafts leave the plane and carry fully-ard people over to the ship. Luke shifted to face the passage as he leaned against the wall, and he took out a lollipop.
After almost seventy fully-ard soldiers boarded, Luke straightened and greeted his old acquaintance. “Agent Flegg.” Flegg, who was in charge, simply waved at the others to proceed as usual, before he went over to Luke with two agents. When he approached, a vague smile flashed across his face and was gone in an instant. He stretched out his hand. “Luke, just call Flegg. Can you tell what happened?”
Luke gestured to him. “Let’s talk on the way. There’s soone who wants to see you.”
Flegg was stunned. There was soone he knew here?
As he wondered, he followed Luke.
Luke briefly described what happened earlier, but left out the part where he put holes in the mutant giant octopus’s head and forced it to jump into the ocean. He simply claid that it returned to the ocean after gobbling up the hostiles and the special force. Flegg listened quietly. After Luke finished, he raised his hand and walked away, before he spoke into his walkie-talkie. “Lock down the right side of the aft deck. There’s a suspicious unknown substance in the form of a bright red liquid. Collect any residues you find at once.”
After giving the order, he took out a phone and spoke shortly into it before he hung up. Then, the four of them continued toward the room which Robert was in.
Luke knocked on the door. “It’s . Agent Flegg’s here, too.”
