Chapter 1370: Justice, and the Situation with Teammates
Selina nodded.
Police officers who cried for their victims in TV dramas were the minority.
After being in this business for so long, everyone had hearts of stone.
It wasn’t because they wanted to, but because officers who couldn’t harden their hearts would develop mental issues sooner or later; if they didn’t quit, they would be dismissed.
People with rich emotions and compassion really couldn’t become police officers in a place like New York. They would just hurt themselves and others.
The American police weren’t emissaries of justice, but defenders of order.
Their duty was to help the rich maintain order in society, not uphold justice.
That was because their wages came from taxes, and the poor couldn’t afford anything.
After obtaining the Super Detective System, Luke had also pondered the origin of this name.
As the saying went, “Yell if you see injustice, act when you should.”
What the system wanted Luke to uphold wasn’t the law, but the simplest form of “justice.”
It was the most basic form of logic, like paying for a death with one’s life or paying back a debt.
After the good and evil system was activated, Luke had seen a lot of people. Many police officers and American soldiers were light to dark red, like Flegg.
Even if they fought in the name of the country, the things they did were deemed “evil” by the system.
The law was tied to the state, but the system wasn’t.
Luke was able to earn experience and credit points not because he abided by the law, but because he was punishing bad guys.
…
After a period of relaxation, Luke was finally done with R&D of his new abilities. All that was left was to train and use them every day, and wait for the right moment to shine.
His attention finally turned to other things, like his teammates.
Compared with the people who had been sent abroad, Damon and Mindy, the superpowered trio, and Alice were more suitable as teammates.
Damon and Mindy were combat veterans, and Mindy would share some experience and credit points with Luke every now and then.
Although it wasn’t a lot, the frequency was proof that the girl wasn’t idle.
The father and daughter couldn’t be considered a full combat force, but they were on call with V for any emergency, and wouldn’t refuse to help.
Thus, Luke sent over two sets of “training suits.”
Since they were training suits, they naturally didn’t have to pay for it. The most important thing was for them to familiarize themselves with the functions.
Naturally, the condition was that they would help him out whenever there was an emergency.
After being a cartoonist for a while, Damon realized that his hands would still feel itchy, even after he had gotten revenge.
D’Amico’s death didn’t mean that Damo no longer hated drug dealers; it was just that he was no longer as reckless.
Mindy only wanted to participate in big events. She also wanted to know who was stronger between V and Batman.
She might never know unless she took part in big events.
She had even asked Luke the question, but Luke had simply chuckled and said, “Guess.”
In private, Luke told Damon that Batman and V were using the same supplier.
Damon was dumbfounded. “He’s selling everything?”
Luke shrugged. “I just wanted to tell you that I don’t have any conflict with Batman, at least not yet. In a sense, he’s like you, my ally.”
Damon scratched his head and suddenly realized something. “Is that why you told me to use him for my comics? Because you knew he wouldn’t come after me?”
Luke chuckled. “Sort of. However, I don’t like his no-killing rule. It’s good for you to tease him.”
Stumped for a moment, Damon then smiled bitterly. “…Fine, I’m on your side.”
Batman’s no-killing rule indeed wasn’t to his taste.
Also, he was a little jealous that his daughter worshiped Batman and thought that he was imitating Batman.
Which father didn’t want to be the strongest idol in their daughter’s heart?
Luke was very happy after confirming the deal.
After a period of cultivation, Damon and Mindy had already learned the basics of the Kunlun Chi Refining technique.
With the so-called training suits and the father and daughter’s level of tacit cooperation, their combat ability absolutely wouldn’t be any worse than Tony’s.
However, while Tony always took the “protagonist role” up front, Damon and Mindy instead took the path of elite assassins.
Their roles on the battlefield wouldn’t overlap at all, and could even complement each other.
If the protagonist was Batman, this combination would still be the same, and their combat ability would be higher.
Luke was very satisfied.
Luke didn’t have as much expectations for the superpowered trio.
Because of this, the three girls had now come to a fork in their lives.
One of the twin sisters, Stephanie, was really good at singing.
Thanks to Elementary Sound Wave and her innate musical talent, she was now almost a B-list singer.
A singer at this level couldn’t be considered rich, but it wasn’t hard to earn a million a year. It was just that they were busier with work.
Artemis, on the other hand, had yet to develop any conventional entertainment abilities. She wasn’t talented at singing or dancing.
Thus… she became an Internet celebrity.
She remembered what Luke said earlier about live streaming.
There weren’t any live streaming platforms on the Internet yet, but F2F already had fans and group functions to begin with, and video websites had also started to appear.
Picking up on some live stream techniques from Luke, she asked Butterfly about a training program.
Butterfly forwarded the question to Luke, who casually mentioned some things live streamers could do.
Luke had basically never paid attention to the live stream industry in his previous life. If he knew their methods, he would definitely have gained popularity in the circle.
Then, Artemis finally discovered something she was good at — playing games.
After making some gaming videos, Artemis successfully became the country’s first and number one female live stream gamer.
The gaming videos she uploaded were treasured by gaming nerds.
Being good at games was one thing; among male gamers, Artemis’s skills were at most second-rate.
But among female gamers, her skills stood out.
The most important thing — was looks.
Artemis still had short hair, and Luke had adjusted the mask to give her 60 to 70% of her previous looks, which was enough for most gaming nerds.
The worse thing was that when Luke said that female live streamers had to show their faces, he added, “It would be best if she has an imposing aura. If she doesn’t, she can find an opportunity to stand up and show off her beautiful legs.”
The twins were only sixteen and had normal physiques. If they weren’t imposing enough, they could only show off their outstanding legs.
Butterfly, the A.I. program, came up with a basic training program that had to be completed, which had a lot of room for flexibility.
If Artemis failed to clear a game, she did air splits for everyone to see. If she cleared a game, she asked everyone to give her likes. Many gaming nerds immediately abandoned their play and waited fixedly for this beautiful female live streamer to lose.
