The points dropped by one million again, so the upgrade of the storage module had to be postponed, but Luke was not in a hurry.
Ever since he met Mephisto's clone last time, he always had to leave enough points in reserve before he could feel at ease.
After closing his eyes and experiencing the effect of the primary life light for a moment, he raised his right hand with a little confusion.
A few seconds later, a faint white light appeared at the tip of his index finger.
If it were in the sun, this little bit of white light would be completely ignored.
But in the laboratory at night, just over ten centimeters away from his eyes, he could see clearly that there was a layer of faint white light about five millimeters thick on his index finger.
Luke looked strange. After hearing the system's simple explanation of this ability, he muttered, "No way, a magic ability? ... Nanny?"
After thinking for a while, he picked up a scalpel and cut a very shallow and small wound on the unconscious Tandy's arm, similar to the kind of wound caused by the edge of a piece of paper.
Then, he placed the fingertips of his right hand, which were glowing with a faint white light, on the wound.
But before the fingers could press firmly, the white light approached the wound, and in the blink of an eye, the tiny wound disappeared without a trace.
Luke's eyes widened: "holyshxt! Is this really the ability of the nanny?"
Judging from the light and shadow special effects and actual effects, it looks like a healing technique exclusive to the nanny!
Faced with this harvest, he did not remain happy for too long, but instead gradually frowned.
His luck had been so good recently that he always had a bad feeling.
As the saying goes, everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. He has been acquiring very practical abilities continuously during this period of time. Could it be the revelation given to him by the old man
Thinking about the fact that Sheila was involved in another theft case as soon as he went to her performance, Luke felt heavy in his heart. Even the light of life could not dispel the vague worry in his heart.
He was a very unlucky person in his previous life.
I have won toilet paper from scratch-off lottery tickets since I was a child.
I only won $20 once and $5 three times a year when buying lottery tickets.
I lost more than 100 yuan playing mahjong with a bet of 50 cents in an afternoon.
In this life, he seemed to have gotten rid of the curse of being a non-Lord thanks to the system daddy, but now he finds that his friends are about to become non-Lords because of him.
My feelings are just... quite complicated.
But reality always likes to play jokes. Several days have passed since that night, and New York is still bustling, but nothing major has happened.
In addition, the diamond necklace stolen by the little thief Tandy was recovered the next afternoon.
This gave Luke and Selina another chance to slack off.
This case is not too complicated.
The little girl, Tandy Bowen, is seventeen years old. She dropped out of high school and follows her boyfriend to steal for a living.
But she had a seriously ill mother at home who needed medical expenses, so she had to steal things everywhere.
This sounds like something out of a TV show, but this time it's real.
In fact, there are even more ridiculous things.
Tandy's father was a senior engineer at the American giant Roxxon Corporation, so she was considered a wealthy child.
Because of a large offshore platform accident, the girl's father died in a car accident, and Rockson Company took the opportunity to put the blame for the accident on the dead senior engineer.
Tandy's home was emptied out by the Roxon Company on an excuse, and the mother and daughter became paupers overnight. The mother was so depressed and angry that she fell ill soon after and was bedridden for many years.
After hearing this true story that sounded like a TV drama, Luke didn't know what to say.
Although he always believed that wrong was wrong, he could not ask a teenage girl to find a way out of the predicament on her own.
It’s best not to count on things like charitable donations. Such things are always a drop in the bucket, and they cannot be provided forever even if you apply for them.
Stealing is undoubtedly the easiest way to make money.
It is listed as one of the two lowest-threshold occupations in the United States, along with thugs carrying guns and collecting "tolls" from passers-by.
In recent years, it was Tandy's boyfriend who led her in many thefts.
The boyfriend has trained his girlfriend to be a thief. He is not a decent person and suffers from the typical brain deficiency of low-level gangsters.
After getting the diamond necklace, he thought that if he sold it, he could live a life of luxury and make a fortune, and there was no need to share the money with Tandy.
So, this stupid boyfriend found an excuse, tricked Tandy out of the car on a remote street, and then he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Tandy had just come to his senses and started cursing when he was blocked into an alley by the group of thugs.
As a result, when Luke returned, he heard Tandy's cry for help and rescued her.
Under the control of primary pheromones, Tandy easily confessed everything, including the license plate of her brainless boyfriend.
The next afternoon, the guy didn't even change his car and went to a black shop to sell the stolen goods.
A patrol officer noticed that the license plate belonged to a suspicious vehicle, so he stopped the car and arrested the person on the spot, and took the man with the missing brain and the diamond necklace on the passenger seat back to the police station.
At this point, less than 24 hours after the diamond necklace theft occurred, the lost property was recovered and the suspect was arrested.
It's impossible for Tandy's boyfriend to get rich on his own, but it's safer for him to go to jail alone.
Luke's treatment of Tandy was similar to the initial treatment of the three superhero girls. He first sent her to a secluded bungalow in Nassau County to live.
She had to undergo a few months to a year of re-education there, which was equivalent to a private juvenile detention center.
During this period, Luke donated a large sum of money anonymously through a fund, asking it to help Tandy's mother pay for medical expenses and living expenses.
After confirming that his mother was being treated in this way, Tandy's resistance quickly weakened and he obediently accepted the re-education courses.
There are two reasons for doing this.
First, Luke didn't want to use primary pheromone manipulation on Tandy too much or too heavily.
This girl is basically mentally normal. If she keeps harboring grudges and deliberately resists pheromone manipulation, the duration and effect of the manipulation will be greatly reduced.
If the confrontation between the two continues, it may cause serious psychological problems.
Private investigator Jessica Jones is a typical example.
Secondly, Tandy's Light of Life not only allows Luke to learn, but her original version is different from his "abridged version" in another way and has extremely high practical value.
Being a pragmatist, Luke believes that Tandy's abilities can be used to save many people.
It would be more meaningful to let her do community or charity work as a volunteer after the juvenile re-education course is over to atone for her past theft than to let her go to jail.
It took him several days to finish all the matters related to Tandy.
At this time, the system points reached 1.04 million.
Luke had harassed the system in the past few days and made it clear that the upgrade of the storage module would not affect the ordinary items and creatures stored in it, but access operations would be impossible during the upgrade process.
He thought about it and called out the system.
System: Upgrading the storage module requires 1,000,000 points. Do you want to upgrade
He chose yes.
System: "This upgrade will take 24 hours, during which time the storage module function cannot be used."
Luke wasn't too surprised.
If what we expected is correct, the volume of the storage space after this upgrade will increase from 10×10×10=1000 cubic meters to 100×100×100=1 million cubic meters.
If you don't take the time to upgrade, you'll surprise him instead.
