If nothing unexpected happens, it might take Luke three to five years to reach level 28.
But if a major event occurs during this period, you might be able to upgrade half a level at a time.
Think about it, the young master is almost forty years old and still has no system or superpowers. He has only been anxious for two years!
There is no need for Luke, who is only 22 years old, to rush.
The second important gain was Dr. Maya Hansen.
Generally speaking, without special circumstances, Luke will not use control abilities too much on neutral targets.
But as the creator of super boss Killian, Dr. Hansen, he fully meets the conditions for using his abilities.
Anyone with a bit of ambition would not let go of Dr. Hansen's desperate virus technology.
Luke had never thought of using the Extremis virus on his own people.
Those desperate soldiers who blew themselves up, and the boss Killian who spontaneously combusted into "charcoal" showed that there was definitely a big problem with this thing.
According to Luke's intuition, Killian seemed to have been "drained" of everything and turned into charcoal.
In this case, it makes sense that he could fight two people at once in a short period of time without being at a disadvantage.
As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world.
Despite the Green Fat Man's terrifying combat power, he also has various difficult-to-solve side effects.
Now there is a desperate virus that can breathe fire, fly, and even be cut into pieces and reborn. Of course, there is a huge price to pay for obtaining super powers.
However, for people who do not have superpowers and items such as Life No. 1, it is very cost-effective to use the desperate virus to save their own life in critical moments.
With the help of inhibitors afterwards, the probability of self-destruction is not high, and you also have super powers, which is much better than dying directly.
Secondly, this technology can increase the number of experimental products to make up for the yield rate.
The Bat Squad easily dealt with the Extremis Soldiers because they relied on their advantages in money and technology to crush their opponents. They were simply bullying the opponents because they had no money and no equipment.
If the Extremis plan is promoted by a figure like Tony and there are a dozen guys like Killian, the deterrent power will be no less than that of the Bat-Squad.
Therefore, considering all aspects, Luke must use the three-piece set of pheromones + hypnosis + hallucinations to ensure that Dr. Hansen does not work for others and does not leak any Extremis virus technology.
This is the best result.
At least Luke has these things to ensure the safety of the technology and Dr. Hansen can still have a basically normal life.
If she fell into the hands of someone else, she would have to work for the rest of her life under round-the-clock surveillance and in a completely closed environment.
In fact, that was pretty much how Killian treated Dr. Hansen.
When she ran out to find Tony this time, she had the subconscious intention of "changing employers" in her mind.
This time, Killian was short of manpower as he was busy with many things. He was also looking forward to the bright prospect of revenge and power, so he accidentally relaxed the surveillance, allowing Dr. Hansen, who had been doing research honestly, to find a chance to escape.
Therefore, Dr. Hansen is a hot potato.
The technology she was researching was too sensitive, and her identity was too sensitive, so she could only enjoy the treatment of setting up her own research institute.
Luke would not let her have any contact with the Bat Team, and let her be a single mother who does research quietly.
…
Two days later, Selena returned to New York with the gold nuggets.
Luke had already shown her his intact self in the video, but she was still worried about the knight's physical disability mentioned by the team members in the chat, and she couldn't help but rush back.
After confirming with her own eyes that the person missing limbs was not Luke, she felt relieved and couldn't help complaining, "Why didn't you call me when you were going to take action? Florida is not far from Texas."
Luke said with a smile: "Killian can breathe fire, and even melt through armor in an instant. It would be dangerous to ask you to go!"
Selena was speechless.
The dog-headed man standing by was trembling with fear, muttering in his heart: Big sister, if you want to get killed, don't take me with you, the high temperature flame is specifically designed to defeat me.
Luke said this and immediately changed the subject: "How is your sister? Is she pretty?"
Selina frowned, "I think Leona is a little ugly. Although she was much better when I came back, she is still a little far from the average appearance of my family."
Luke laughed. “This is what a newborn baby looks like. In another month or two, she will definitely be prettier.”
Selena accepted this inference. After all, little Cindy was not as cute as she is now.
After chatting about her family for a while, Luke talked about her future work arrangements.
Selina listened for a moment, her face full of astonishment: "Wait, I'm going to be the director of PDD and the secretary general of the Justice League, in charge of their daily affairs, then... why are you going there?"
Luke said in a serious tone, "I'm a scientist. If I don't get some more equipment, what will you wear?"
Selina still felt something was wrong: "What about our detective agency?"
Luke blinked and said, "Just keep it open. It's not my fault if there's no business."
Selina: "... You did this on purpose, didn't you? We've been hanging out for almost a year, and even if there were any customers, they all ran away."
Luke chuckled, put his arm around her shoulders, and acted like a good brother: "Aren't you afraid you'll get tired?"
"Get out of here!" No matter how dumb Selina was, she knew that someone simply didn't want to do his daily duties, just like he never wrote reports in the police station.
But after enjoying the long-lost open-air barbecue and night beer, Director Sai and Secretary General Sai took office the next day.
In fact, the Justice League today is half an empty shell.
The half that was not empty was the Bat Squad, and with Frank there, she didn't need to be in charge for the time being.
PDD does have a lot of temporary workers, but they are just temporary workers.
What is a temporary worker? It means that you pay for services during normal times, and if something goes wrong, the temporary worker will bear the responsibility.
Luke had no intention of turning PDD into a behemoth like SHIELD from the beginning. There were too many loopholes and too many things to worry about.
Therefore, these "temporary workers" are themselves independently operated organizations, and Luke is just their financial sponsor.
All he had to do was to check the important leaders of these organizations regularly to make sure that none of them betrayed him.
Moreover, as the big boss who pays the money, he has the right to have these people fly in batches to report on their work.
So if the clone spends one or two hours every week to check on some people, these temporary employment agencies will not cause any major problems.
What Selina really needs to manage are those individuals with super powers.
For example, Deadpool Wade, Invisible Man Richard, the Super Sisters trio, Skye and Emma and her son, new teenage mom Lorna and her husband Marcos, Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze, former Ghost Rider Carter Slay, Nikki and Monica who just graduated from high school, Jessica Jones and her sisters Tracy, Blade, and so on.
The new Director Sai was looking at the long list displayed in the basement of the institute. Even though she had been prepared for someone's love to keep a hand, she was still shocked: "You actually secretly collected so many superpowers?"
It's not that easy! Luke sighed helplessly and explained, "Most people have some problems. We can only say that they have a friendly relationship with us. The trustworthiness is not comparable to that of the people in the team."
Director Sai looked at Deadpool Wade, who was in the first place, and nodded when thinking about his psychotic behavior and words.
This is just the most stubborn problem, after all, there is no cure for brain damage.
