Chapter 1471: Throwing Away the Potato and Overlooked Gain

Chapter 1470: Throwing Away the Potato and Overlooked Gain

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

One man’s honey was another man’s poison.

The Tesseract, which SHIELD, Loki, and the Chitauri fleet all valued, was a hot potato for Luke.

It was only right for him to throw it away.

If he couldn’t put it in his inventory, it was like a ticking time bomb — not only could it explode at any time, it could also be remotely activated.

He would only get himself killed if he held onto something that he couldn’t control or use.

SHIELD had no objections either.

No matter how unwilling he might be, Nick Fury, who had almost been killed because of the Tesseract, didn’t dare let it remain on Earth.

Earth truly might not be able to survive another invasion via the Tesseract.

The bald director hadn’t mentioned keeping the Tesseract. Clearly, he shared Luke’s thoughts.

So, in the evening after the battle, Thor took the Tesseract and escorted his baby brother back to Asgard, saying that he had to deal with the Tesseract as soon as possible.

Nick Fury had a death grip on the scepter and didn’t let Thor take it with him.

Thor felt a little guilty and stopped asking for it.

Loki was the one who had caused the Battle of New York.

So many people had died, yet he could still take Loki and leave with the Tesseract, thus accomplishing his goal.

Although the scepter was a little magical, it was nothing special. Asgard had many weapons and props with similar functions.

It was clear that Earth didn’t plan to hand it over, and Thor didn’t really care.

If he continued wrangling, what if Earth simply stopped him from leaving in order to talk about compensation first?

It wasn’t like Asgard couldn’t afford it.

The problem was that Thor had never liked talking, and he didn’t want the Earthlings to bring up the bad things Loki had gone. That would be too humiliating for Asgard.

So, Thor took away the most troublesome of the two hot potatoes, the Tesseract.

The less troublesome scepter fell into Tony’s hands.

After everything was over, Luke gave the tycoon the scepter and told him to keep it for research.

Of course, Tony wouldn’t refuse such a good thing.

Thor thought that Nick Fury was being shameless, when in fact, it was Tony who refused to return the scepter, and had pushed the responsibility to a certain black baldie.

Nick Fury could only hold it in.

In the future, he could use this matter as a reason to make Tony hand over the scepter.

If he couldn’t bear it, he would never see the scepter again.

Luke, on the other hand, could share Tony’s research on the scepter. In short, it wasn’t a loss.

At that point, Luke finally sorted out the gains and losses from the Battle of New York.

Now that he had a rough understanding of his future enemies, he could adjust his development plan to deal with them.

For now, Batman’s “sacrifice” had brought about a rare moment of peace, which was a good time for the special force team to lay low, rest and reorganize for a while.

It wasn’t good to make any big waves for now in a war-torn New York.

Luke and Selina’s usual harvesting of points was canceled that night.

Of course, it was only Luke and Selina who didn’t take action.

The Star of Justice still showed up in New York that night, but with a different appearance, as it continued to earn points.

As long as the clone wasn’t wearing the Bat suit, it was just a passer-by who quietly dealt with criminals.

Bullseye’s precision enabled him to knock out criminals with ordinary items without exposing himself.

When the opportunity arose, he ate up a batch of illegal drugs; he earned no less experience and credit than before.

But on the second day after his Dexterity broke 40, while the clone was cultivating the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique, Luke realized that he had missed an important gain.

Originally, he wanted to determine if the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique could change the clone’s stats.

When he checked the Star of Justice’s abilities panel, he was surprised to see an additional description: Star of Justice (Level 2) can be summoned.

Eyes wide, he couldn’t help but ask the system, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

System: …

Luke sighed. Fine, Daddy System wasn’t a customer service program. There was no way it was that considerate.

After a few questions, his expression changed. “System, are you kidding me? So expensive?”

The system once again ignored this stupid question.

He yelled that it was expensive, but Luke’s eyes glowed. He looked at his six million credit points. “System, are you raising the price because of my credit points?”

This time, the system responded: Star of Justice (Level 1). Prerequisites: All three basic stats at 20, 100,000 credit points.

Star of Justice (Level 2), Prerequisites: All three basic stats at 40, 1,000,000 credit points.

Star of Justice (Level 3), Prerequisites: All three basic stats at 80, 10,000,000 credit points.

Luke said, “…Wow, thanks. 80 for all three basic stats? Maybe after eighteen generations of my grandkids.”

The system fell silent again.

Of course, it wasn’t out of guilt; it was utterly immune to Luke’s nonsense.

The system had taken out all the prerequisites for the Star of Justice in all “fairness” after Luke’s talk about “temporary price increases”; it was a perfect explanation.

A certain person with OCD had brought this on himself. Looking at the prerequisites for the Star of Justice (Level 3), he felt like going crazy.

It was like how a game released the attributes for god-level armor, only to immediately tell players that a certain component was dropped by a boss, and even then there was only a one in ten million chance of it happening.

This was pure despair. He might as well have not said anything.

He could give up on a game, but Luke couldn’t ignore the system. He could only endure it.

There was no doubt that the Star of Justice (Level 3) was an unrealistic dream, but at least he could already summon the Star of Justice (Level 2).

Compared with a dream, the actual benefits he could get now were more important.

With a thought, the credit points in the system instantly dropped by a million, and a clone appeared next to him.

Both Luke and the clone closed their eyes for a moment before they looked at each other with bitter smiles. “It’s over. I just got used to dual-mode operation; now, I have to start learning triple-mode.”

At the same time, the Level 1 clone in the seaside villa had the same expression and said the same thing.

Controlling three bodies at the same time was very confusing for Luke, and they all subconsciously performed the same actions.

A moment later, all three bodies sighed. “Fine. At the very least, triple-mode operation won’t become outdated so soon this time.”

The character information in the system had changed again.

Host level: 22.

Strength: 12 (Level 1 Star of Justice +10, Level 2 Star of Justice +20)

Dexterity: 12 (Level 1 Star of Justice +10, Level 2 Star of Justice +20)

Mental Strength: 10 (Level 1 Star of Justice +10, Level 2 Star of Justice +20)

Extra stats: 17

This time, the Level 2 Star of Justice took away 20 stat points.

Now, the strongest of the three bodies was this Level 2 clone. For the time being, his main body was only a little stronger than a Level 1 clone.

But that wasn’t a big problem.

His main body was usually active primarily in the detective circle, which wasn’t dangerous.

Besides, his main body’s stats would continue to increase before his Level 3 clone appeared.

Within the next two weeks, Luke allocated the remaining 17 stat points to Strength.

With 29 Strength and his various abilities, his ability to survive wasn’t any weaker than before.

Whether it was familiarizing himself with triple-mode operation or the decrease in his main body’s basic stats, these were only temporary problems.

Compared with obtaining an extra clone, they were nothing.

Three was still an amazing number.

There was a Chinese saying, “one breath transformed into three talents,” while the West talked about the “three in one.”

Coupled with the power of faith module that he had just obtained… Thinking about it, Luke was a little excited!
