Chapter 1901: Fateful Reunion and Good Fortune
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luke picked up the katana and played with it, enjoying the wonderful feeling of regaining something he had lost, along with two freebies.
This action frightened a certain freebie baby under his feet, who was afraid that its new boss would cut its scalp for fun.
Noticing the ripples under his feet, Luke smiled helplessly and put the katana away in his inventory.
After Luke retrieved the treasured katana, the baby mount continued moving forward, not forgetting to catch food to replenish its energy.
Suddenly, it wrapped its tentacles around something black and white and was about to stuff it into its mouth.
!!
Luke’s heart jumped. Wait, stop!
It was hard for ordinary people to tell the difference between animals, but Luke had other ways to discern the other party, such as with mental fluctuations.
The black-and-white fatty that was wrapped up in the octopus baby’s tentacles was a killer whale.
It was much bigger than a few years ago, but the mental fluctuations proved that it was the little fatty who had been lucky enough to escape death in the South Pole.
In the end, it came to the North Pole and was caught by the octopus baby as food.
This amazing fateful reunion was worth commemorating.
Luke used his Mental Strength to calm the struggling little fatty down, and had the octopus baby let it go.
The octopus baby was a little reluctant, but it wasn’t hard to catch fish, so it did as told.
Frightened, the little fatty darted hundreds of meters away.
Luke had just wanted to save it, so he didn’t stop it and continued moving forward.
But a moment later, the little fatty realized that Luke had been ‘caught’ by the big monster and was leaving. It immediately let out a miserable cry and turned around to chase after the octopus.
Unfortunately, it couldn’t compare with the octopus baby, which had evolved into an extraordinary being, and the gap grew wider and wider.
The increasingly desolate whale cry echoed in Luke’s ears, and he sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He could only have the octopus baby stop and turn around, and he used Mental Communication to show the little fatty that the big monster had acknowledged him as its leader and wouldn’t hurt him.
The black-and-white fatty rolled around him in excitement.
Luke, however, noticed the wounds on its body which had been caused by the octopus.
Thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled. “Alright, since you dared to chase after me, that means we’re connected by fate. Then, I’ll give you a gift. Whether or not you’re that one-in-a-million genius will depend on you.”
An android in s.p.a.ce 2 prepared a special syringe, and Luke took it out a moment later and touched the little fatty’s head. “Come, open your mouth. You might feel a little uncomfortable later, but it’ll pa.s.s soon.”
The little fatty opened its mouth and nodded; it looked like it was smiling.
“Okay, don’t move.” Luke used his Telekinesis to hold up the syringe that was as thick as his arm. He stuck it into the little fatty’s mouth and injected it into a blood vessel.
The little fatty immediately felt aggrieved.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Luke was constantly comforting it, it would be crying now.
Thankfully, this was an injection for a killer whale that weighed several tons, and it was done in a few seconds.
Casually using Light of Life to heal the needle mark in the fatty’s mouth, Luke patted its head and used his Mental Strength to imprint some words deep in its consciousness. “Grow up well. If you remember what I did today in the future, we might meet again. Go, return to your world.”
The little fatty swam around him and rubbed its body against him for a long time before it finally left reluctantly.
As it left, it let out another drawn-out whale cry.
But this time, there was no sadness, only reluctance.
Luke didn’t stop. He returned to the octopus baby and patted its head. “Let’s go.”
The octopus baby immediately started moving, but communicated a plea to Luke
Stumped for a moment, Luke burst out laughing. “That’s true. Weren’t you on that boat for the Blood Orchid extract too?”
A very minute amount of this thing had leaked into the ocean, yet the extraordinary octopus had sensed it.
That was what Luke had injected the little fatty with earlier, not Life 1.
Life 1 was developed based on the Fraternity’s medicinal bath formula and was especially suitable for the human body, while the Blood Orchid extract was more suitable for animals.
The monkey version of Life 1 was being sold on a small scale in the upper circle. Luke didn’t want those people to become an extraordinary bunch.
Bigshots like Tony who repented and turned over a new leaf were absolutely rare.
With power + authority, there was over a 90% chance of them turning depraved.
If that happened, Luke would have been the one to have lent them a hand.
It wasn’t a problem for him to inject the little fatty with the Blood Orchid extract.
It wasn’t easy for wild animals to consume the Blood Orchid, which he now had a monopoly on, and it was even harder to consume enough of it to trigger a transformation.
The little fatty was the only wild creature to be injected with a huge dose of the extract.
The rest were basically test subjects in s.p.a.ce 2 or targets under Luke’s close surveillance.
The baby mount was new, and it was only natural that it wanted benefits.
If Luke wanted a horse to run, he had to feed it some gra.s.s, not to mention how he had beaten it up before it had yielded to him.
This was a creature that had just gained intelligence, not a normal person with a fully developed worldview.
Placating it with words wasn’t enough; the important thing was physical rewards.
After repeating that it had to be obedient, Luke directly injected the tentacle he was sitting on.
The dose was about 100ml, which was much less than the 500ml for the little fatty.
But that had been a once-off gift for the killer whale, while the baby mount would have to be given benefits regularly. Luke absolutely couldn’t set too high a standard for the first time.
After the Blood Orchid extract entered its body, the octopus baby excitedly sped up and even called Luke “dad” through the mental link.
Although it didn’t know what a “dad” was, it did fit the context.
Even the slightly uncooperative Shriek, who had been keeping quiet all this time, couldn’t help but feel very delighted.
Clearly, the Blood Orchid extract was also very good for it.
It had never experienced the pleasure of absorbing the Blood Orchid extract before this, but now, it firmly decided: Forget it, it would kneel to a capable dad.
For the sake of good things, there was no shame in calling the other party “dad.”
In any case, something like dignity wasn’t anything to symbiotes.
After half a day of travel, Luke looked at how much further they had to go, and felt a little worried.
After all, the octopus baby wasn’t really a fast sea creature. It was so big, and it wasn’t like it had an arc reactor; it was hard for it to move quickly.
At this rate, it would take at least four days to reach San Francisco.
It had a unique physique and strong resilience, so there was no way for Luke to knock it out.
It was easier to kill it than to knock it out.
Hence, Luke couldn’t use his inventory s.p.a.ce to transport it.
But as was generally the case with Foresight Drawing, something might happen in San Francisco tomorrow.
Pondering for a moment, he then left two deep sea androids on the top of the octopus baby’s head for communication.
He then headed straight for San Francisco.
If he was even one beat late, a lot of civilians might die. How could civic-minded Luke allow such a bad thing to happen?
