Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1359: Barbecue, Fixing a Water Pipe, and Lotus HeadThere was a huge gap in tech skills between him and those two; the only thing the thin young man could do was ensure that he wasn’t discovered.

Moreover, there was no point in him tracking things back to Iron Man, who lived in Stark Tower.

Amanda had high hopes of him tracking down Batman, but he didn’t dare.

He could use his superpower to protect himself online, but not to improve his tech skills.

If he tracked Batman down, that meant that Batman might also be able to lock onto his approximate location.

Given how random Batman’s appearances were, the thin young man was afraid of waking up the next day and seeing that terrifying Dark Knight standing in front of his bed, pointing at him and saying that classic sentence, “Guilty.”

The thin young man wasn’t a masochist. There really was no need for him to give Batman a reason to come over.

Only if his ability improved to the point that he could beat up people online would he disregard the disparity in tech skills and track Batman down.

By that point, however, there would be no need for him to work for this hateful b*tch anymore. It would be better for him to just slip away.

If he could become a superhero, why would he do the dirty work for this woman?

Even becoming Iron Man or Batman’s sidekick would still be better than being bossed around by this woman.

A certain poor soul started fantasizing.

It was really hard to be a good person.

In this cruel world, only Batman and superheroes could give him some warmth.

…

Compared with the Advanced Research Unit, which was operating at high speed to clean up its traces, Luke was very relaxed.

He dragged Selina and Gold Nugget up to the rooftop for an outdoor barbecue.

It would be a shame not to have a barbecue or a beer on a sunny day like this in late June.

It had indeed been hard on Selina and Gold Nugget tonight.

For the sake of a safe operation, they hadn’t been able to plunder any loot tonight.

Selina didn’t care how much money there was, but the dog head did.

It was ignorant about mathematics and didn’t know how to calculate the gains, but there was no way it would forget to take the money at all.

Luke had always been strict with the dog head’s education.

Fairness, equality, and transparency: these three principles had to be upheld.

Gold Nugget might be a little stupid, but people who treated others like idiots had to be prepared to suffer a backlash at any time, and it was the same with the alien dog.

So, Luke had never decreased the reward promised to Gold Nugget beforehand just because it was stupid.

Even if the dog head really became smarter, it would conversely realize that it had never been cheated.

Between it and Selina, on the other hand, nothing mattered.

They had always combined their stash. Gold Nugget even used Selina’s credit card for online shopping and used Selina’s ID to apply for an account to scold people online.

The two hated troublesome things and didn’t want to think about cash accounts at all.

Selina was eating garlic eggplant, and her lips were bright red. She asked Luke, “Are we still working overtime tomorrow night?”

Luke: “Yes.”

Of course, Selina wasn’t referring to police work, but to whether or not they were going to continue with their cleanup of the remaining 20-plus gangs.

They had caused quite a stir tonight. She felt that if they disposed of 20 more gangs tomorrow, NYPD and the hospitals would be cursing her and Batman.

Since Luke had settled on this plan, however, she didn’t say much.

She was only responsible for raising some objections at the right moment. Whether Luke accepted them or not was up to him.

“Are we having supper tomorrow night?” She changed the topic.

Luke smiled. “Sure. What do you want to eat?”

As Selina finished the second roast eggplant, she mulled over it. “Hot pot, but I have to be able to take it this time.”

Luke nodded regretfully. “Fine.”

Ask Gold Nugget? As if.

This guy could eat a ton of ghost peppers and would still be fine.

It had a different physiological structure from humans. Spice was just a flavor to it, just like how diluted sulfuric acid was the same as vinegar for it.

While two people and one dog were having a barbecue, Luke’s clone had already followed Max home to make cupcakes.

Before doing so, however, Luke volunteered to fix her water pipe.

Max had inadvertently mentioned that the showerhead was broken, but it was actually a problem with the water pipe.

She had already bought the materials and was prepared to do it herself.
