Chapter 1295: The Hidden Move of the Star of Justice
The “big surprise” at Chester Arthur School was fake, so Luke naturally didn’t get any experience or credit points from that.
Rescue operations on the two subway lines on Wall Street gave him 2,000 experience and credit points, and rescues at the three subway stations in Brooklyn gave him 3,000 experience and credit points.
Plus the contribution from Selina, and bits and bobs from here and there, Luke obtained about 57,000 points in total.
Now, the host’s experience was 673,000 / 700,000.
Credit: 166,000
The amount of experience was great, but the credit was pitiful.
When Luke jumped out the window, he recalled the Star of Justice and then activated it again when he reached the ground. His new clone appeared again, put on the Batman suit, and entered the subway station to meet Tony, thus drawing a difference between Big Dipper and Batman.
He used up 100,000 credit points, but it wasn’t a loss.
He had already earned back more than half of it.
The creation of the Star of Justice required credit points, and the experience and credit points it earned from completing missions were all given to Luke.
On the surface, the clone was just like Luke’s arm.
However, this unusual “1 person 2 bodies” mode was also why it had to consume credit points.
It definitely wasn’t easy for a normal person to have three arms.
Luke, on the other hand, could perfectly control the Star of Justice without decreasing his own combat ability. This was thanks to his own abilities and credit points.
Now, he finally knew why this ability wasn’t called a clone, but a “Star of Justice,” and why he could “recall” the clone rather than “cancel” or “remove” it.
To put it simply, the biggest difference between Luke’s clone and his real body was that it could absorb and store a special type of mental energy.
The special mental energy came from the Star of Justice’s daily grinding.
After hara.s.sing the system for a while, Luke finally got a vague answer.
Only a special existence like the Star of Justice, who had this sort of body and credit points, could bear this special mental energy. It would be very dangerous for Luke’s real body to come into direct contact with it. Daddy System naturally couldn’t let him die, and had to ensure the host’s safety.
After the Star of Justice absorbed the special mental energy, it filtered and stored the energy.
Even so, the negative effects of this special mental energy still existed in the clone.
If the clone was “recalled” or destroyed, the negative effects would be destroyed along with most of the body, and the remaining harmless energy would turn into a white dot of light that instantly returned to the main body.
Even if this mental energy was filtered and converted, it was still special.
Luke could only use it within a short period of time, and it wasn’t suitable to keep it in his body; he could forget about keeping it for later use.
This was the “super big move” that inevitably appeared after the Star of Justice was recalled — an acc.u.mulation of the special mental energy, along with various ways to use it.
For example, Luke’s arrow of white light, which locked onto the witch and launched an attack through s.p.a.ce, was one way to use it.
He could also draw out its use up to half an hour in battle.
Luke wasn’t disappointed.
This sort of “big move” setting was too common in his previous life.
Daddy System had constructed the various system functions by plagiarizing all sorts of game knowledge from his previous life.
For example, his three basic attributes, stats, skills, prerequisites, teammates, the good and evil camps – what wasn’t related to games?
It made total sense that he now had an “XX slot” setting.
Thus, the name “Star of Justice,” which he had mocked before, wasn’t a random name.
If you were righteous, you would obtain the power of justice.
If you weren’t, justice would befall you.
Luke murmured the profound lines in his heart, but his actual thoughts were very simple.
It was just a special skill paired with an exclusive slot.
He now had another powerful trump card, and he didn’t have to continue spending time on it. This couldn’t be any better for someone like him, who didn’t have enough time.
Lastly, he defeated the ancient Enchantress and obtained a list of her abilities.
This time, the system notification was complicated, but extremely simple — Ancient Enchantress’s abilities: Ancient witchcraft (Unavailable).
That was all.
The result was as he had expected.
No matter how you looked at it, a witch’s ability was magic, and it was a very strange type at that.
Considering her dead face, dead body, and rotten smell, Luke didn’t dare learn her ability, even if Daddy System said that it was partially available.
He was very satisfied with his current appearance and temperament. He didn’t want to look like a zombie.
If it was the type of cool magic without any side effects, he would definitely be tempted.
He couldn’t learn magic superpowers, but he might be able to learn some simple spells.
After checking his harvest, he looked at Selina, who was yawning. He stood up and said, “We’ll definitely be busy in the next few days. Go to bed early.”
Selina nodded and went to bed.
She wouldn’t ask Luke what he was up to tonight.
The two of them had been sitting for so long here because they were silently concerned about each other.
Luke didn’t go out. He returned to his room and closed his eyes.
He needed to rest.
He wasn’t far from leveling up. However, New York hadn’t exactly been peaceful today. He still needed to determine the location of the 2,400 pounds of raw materials which Simon and the others had taken.
Thus, the Star of Justice was deployed again.
However, he had had a big fight with the Enchantress today, and didn’t want to make a fuss at night, so the clone simply put on an ordinary stealth suit and went out.
After leaving underwater, Luke went ash.o.r.e in Queens and entered a warehouse that Alfred had locked onto.
A moment later, he came out, relieved that the 2,400 pounds of raw materials was indeed in this warehouse.
The “big surprise” had been put together but hadn’t been activated.
For safety reasons, Luke put the bomb in his inventory before he dismantled the detonator, and then put it back. Then, he set up a mini drone to monitor the situation before he left.
Pa.s.sing through the city, he found New York very lively tonight.
Many suspicious people wandered the streets and alleys. They looked ordinary, but had a lot of surveillance equipment on them and their cars.
Even NYPD’s logistics department didn’t have that much good equipment.
A lot of the small fry were asking about what happened during the day, especially at the Wall Street subway station.
That wasn’t the end of it.
Drones and helicopters flew by every now and then, so Luke couldn’t go over the rooftops.
The multifaceted system had a lot of information about Batman and Big Dipper, but Luke couldn’t be bothered with that.
At the very least, he wasn’t in the mood to look at it tonight. He would think about it tomorrow.
