Catherine stood up with a smile, and Lu Ke also stood up and picked up the dishes he had used. Catherine would wash them later.
Robert also stood up: "Okay, I'll go back to the police station if I'm fine, Luke you can rest at home."
Lu Ke stopped him: "Wait, I'll go with you."
Robert was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Lu Ke shrugged: "It doesn't matter anyway, I can just go with you to complete the entry procedures, and I will officially start work in a few days at most, should this be okay?"
Robert nodded: "Of course, your salary will be calculated from the day you start working. But, are you really going today? Would you like to consider it again?"
Lu Ke: "I've been thinking about it for several days and I've made up my mind. Let's go."
Catherine couldn't help but interrupt: "Join the job? What job?"
Lu Ke smiled and said, "I think what Robert said a few days ago is right, so I decided to stay and become a police officer. Are you happy, Catherine?"
Catherine was stunned for several seconds before she stammered, "But... But didn't you quarrel with Robert several times a few days ago and said that it was a job that was so poor that you had to eat dirt?"
Lu Ke shrugged: "We are in the countryside, everyone has the smell of soil on them. Eating soil is better than having nothing to eat."
Catherine: …
Robert: …
Catherine couldn't help but ask, "But you just left the hospital, how about... taking a rest for two days?"
Lu Ke smiled and said, "Don't worry, Catherine. I was just too excited yesterday, oh, or the day before yesterday, and forgot to eat lunch. I was just hungry. There's nothing wrong with my body. Besides, I will still rest for a few days after reporting. Are you still afraid that Robert will urge me to go to work?"
Catherine glared at him and said, "You even forgot to eat, and you still want me to be at ease? Well, wait, I'll make you another lunch, you can take it with you, so you don't forget to eat again."
Lu Ke smiled and nodded: "Then I will definitely not forget it."
Robert: “What about me?”
Catherine: "You're bringing lunch today too? Oh, what should I get you? A burger or a sandwich?"
Robert: "Whatever this brat eats, I will eat."
Lu Ke smiled and said nothing, ignoring the jealous middle-aged man.
The two men had two sandwiches that Catherine had quickly prepared, except that they were no longer filled with ham, but with beef patties. This was their lunch.
Thirty minutes later, the two returned to the town. Robert parked the car in front of the police station and got out and walked in.
Everything is big in Texas, and that includes parking lots.
Or it should be said that there is no dedicated parking lot in the town. The police station is just a two-story building, and the open space behind the building can accommodate two or three hundred cars.
However, as a small town with only 2,000 permanent residents, there are only twelve people in this small police station, including Robert.
Recently, a poor guy who couldn't find a wife made up his mind, quit his job and went to Dallas, ready to find love there.
All Lu Ke could say was: Wake up, brother, and stop dreaming.
When it comes to girlfriends, most of the time, it’s all about face.
In the United States, it is more about money, but if you don’t have either, it will be difficult to find a girlfriend even if you go to Dallas.
It is for this reason that a vacancy appeared in the small town police station.
Although Lu Ke himself looked down on it, once the spot was posted, it would be taken by someone within a day.
In this sparsely populated Texas town, there aren't many real affairs going on, and the danger level is far less than that of several border cities in the southwest.
A stable and easy job is still very popular.
This was within Robert's authority, so he gave Lu Ke the green light.
However, as long as it does not affect his work, there is nothing wrong with him doing so.
The United States is also a society based on personal connections, and in many cases, personal connections are more effective than in China.
Robert, who has served as the town sheriff for more than ten years, is qualified to give Lu Ke the green light.
It was almost noon time, and Robert's arrival freed the police officers who were on duty for him. After greeting each other with laughter, several police officers went to a fast food restaurant not far away to eat and enjoy two hours of chatting.
Robert called a police officer who was left behind and said, "Bob, help Luke with his employment formalities."
Bob is a white man in his thirties with the typical red neck of a Texan.
Although he is not a cowboy or a farmer, the policeman also needs to patrol outside frequently. As a rough man, he obviously doesn't pay much attention to sun protection, so his neck is also red.
Hearing Robert's words, Bob whistled: "Oh, our little Skywalker is going to become a policeman. Boss, is today April Fool's Day?"
Robert didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just waved and went back to his office.
Bob didn't get a response from Robert, but he wasn't angry. He smiled and took Lu Ke to go through the entry procedures.
With Robert around, Lu Ke's information was all ready, and he had obviously been prepared.
After Lu Ke signed more than ten documents, the employment procedures were completed.
Just after he signed the last document, the system responded.
Mission accomplished.
Gain experience 10.
Points: 10.
Lu Ke was delighted: It is indeed so.
He was anxious to start work today, naturally for the mission.
Faced with that stupid system, he couldn't just sit there and wait for something good to happen. He had to take the initiative and test its mechanisms as much as possible so that he could discover its benefits faster and better.
For example, for this onboarding mission, he just wanted to see whether the conditions for completing it required him to officially start work or just need to confirm his official police identity.
The result was as expected.
Once he signed the last document, he was legally an official town policeman.
Although he hasn't started working yet, he now has the status of an official police officer.
Working hours only determine the salary payment date and do not affect the completion of on-the-job tasks.
But... it's gone again.
The retarded system once again showed its retarded attributes. It made a bubble and continued to play dead, with no intention of releasing the next task.
Lu Ke didn't care. He just said hello to Bob and went out of the small building.
Now he is extremely excited and wants some quiet time.
Uh, just be alone and quiet!
Outside the small building, the hot air at noon was touching, but Lu Ke didn't care at all. He just walked back and forth in the shade in front of the small building.
While walking, he was also frantically harassing the retarded system.
He wanted to see if he could trigger the next task.
I have experience and points, so now I just have to see when I can get the upgrade.
His character level was still zero, which could obviously be improved, but he had no idea how many experience points were needed.
Just as he was harassing the system there, suddenly a sound of footsteps was heard.
Lu Ke didn't care. He was teasing the system with countless dirty words and didn't care about passers-by.
