Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 206 - Reborn and Recovery

Chapter 206 Reborn and Recovery

Luke felt rather weak at the moment, but also like he was floating, as if a weight had rolled off him.

He aggressively scrubbed himself clean in the bathroom.

After the past few hours, his body was covered with sweat and other weird things, and felt quite itchy.

The sweat contained a lot of impurities that were discharged during the upgrade. Washing them off with hot water was almost like peeling off a layer of skin.

After a forty-minute shower, Luke left the bathroom feeling extremely refreshed, and sat down in the backyard.

He felt amazing, as if he had been reborn.

His scars and acne had disappeared, and most of his body hair had dropped, too.

His face was also better-looking than before.

The upgrade had also stimulated his hair growth, and he could finally stop worrying about becoming bald.

Looking at the sky in the backyard while enjoying a cup of tea, Luke felt wonderful.

He checked his stats panel.

Luke (AKA Luke Coulson)

Strength: 40

Dexterity: 20

Mental Strength: 15

He had added the additional stat point to Mental Strength.

He hadn’t felt very good when increasing Mental Strength for the first time, but the effect was obvious.

His head felt much clearer than before.

He knew that it was because his Mental Strength was still too low. An 8% increase was definitely noticeable.

His body that was growing stronger day by day required a more powerful mind.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to utilize the full range of his physical combat ability.

Of course, the most important thing right now was that his Strength had reached 40.

Smiling, Luke quickly paid ten thousand credit points.

The next moment, he couldn’t help but frown. “Oh! Sh*t! Again?”

His whole body itched, as if it was recovering from a wound.

Gritting his teeth, Luke soon realized what was going on.

The upgrade just now had caused his body minor injuries.

If he didn’t do anything about it, the injuries would recover naturally in a day or two, but since he had just learned Carol’s Elementary Self-Healing, it was automatically activated, and was healing his minor injuries.

The injuries weren’t serious, and recovery felt like ants crawling all over his body. The feeling was gone five minutes later.

Those minor injuries healed fast, but his left arm, which had been numb for a long time, was still itching

His left arm, which had been broken by the monsters in Wolfkyle, was starting to heal like crazy.

Luke was excited. After such a long wait, his left arm could finally go back to normal!

The next moment, he felt hungry again.

He had no choice but to return to the dinner table and eat again.

It seemed that Elementary Self-Healing guzzled energy too. He had better just stay inside.

Luke cleaned up the house in passing and cut his own hair.

With his strength and dexterity, it wasn’t difficult for him to cut his hair using pictures he found online as a guide.

Selina came back at four in the afternoon. She was rather surprised by Luke’s new look.

Luke simply made up excuses to her questions and diverted her attention to the upcoming holiday.

They took Luke’s car to the airport.

At half past five, they got on the plane, and at seven, they reached Aurora Hotel in Las Vegas.

The hotel even sent a car to pick them up since they had booked a room earlier.

This time, Luke had booked a deluxe business suite, which cost three thousand dollars a night.

Selina ran excitedly around the room and laughed as she played with the facilities.

Luke told her that he would get some rest first, so Selina went to the bathroom to enjoy a bath.

Leaving her alone, Luke simply went to bed.

His body was still changing after his Strength reached 40.

Luke didn’t need to test it to know that he was stronger than before.

Based on his observations when his Strength reached 20, it would take a few hours to complete a quarter of such a massive upgrade, twenty-four hours to complete half of it, and around ten days for the upgrade to be fully complete.

So, he wouldn’t see the real effects of 40 Strength until ten days later.

That was why Luke intended to get some rest tonight before doing anything.

He made a call to Greyson before he went to bed to see if the man was free the next day.

Old Greyson was surprised to receive the call, but was happy for Luke to visit.

He was busy with an interesting case, so he simply invited Luke to meet him at the forensics center.

Luke thanked him and hung up.

He was rather excited at the thought of visiting the Las Vegas Forensics Center, which was a holy land for all CSI staff in the United States.

After making plans, an exhausted Luke soon fell asleep.

At four in the morning, he woke up.

He washed his face and brushed his teeth. He didn’t wake Selina since she was still fast asleep.

He had confirmed it himself.

There was no telling if Selina had been too excited last night, but she fell asleep on her bed with her limbs splayed, and hadn’t closed the door.

Luke went to sleep early last night, and had no idea what she had been up to in her room. She was sleeping in nothing but her underwear.

Beautiful things were meant to be appreciated.

Luke looked at her silently for ten seconds, before he closed Selina’s door and went downstairs, feeling satisfied.
