Chapter 491 Smaller, It’s Really Smaller

As long as the Demonic Saints were still in Los Angeles, he would pick up the trail sooner or later. Also, they were too busy hiding to harass Margaret again, so he could be considered to have completed the private assignment from Margaret. What he didn’t know was that after he went home, a certain person was swearing as he also came out of the Demonic Saints’ base. “Damn it, those guys were scared off after the big scene last night. I’ve only completed half my job! Ughhh, damn it.

What if Haley asks for a refund? I’ll have to pay her back fifty grand…” As he spoke, he reached into his pocket, took out a roll of cash, and sighed. “I only have 1,213 bucks now. That’s not nearly enough to pay her back. Hm, it’s useless in my pocket anyway. I’ll go have a drink. That girl is hot! I must have her!”

The days that followed were peaceful. Luke’s attention shifted back to Selina and Gold Nugget. Gold Nugget had divulged that it could increase the strength of its host when they were connected.

But that effect was only apparent when they were connected.

Still, Luke noticed something wasn’t right during Selina’s fight training. He had Selina punch and kick the test machine, and when he looked at the data, Luke fell silent. Seeing his expression, Selina became nervous. “What’s wrong? Does Gold Nugget have some sort of alien bacteria?”

Dollar, who was lying nearby, abruptly raised its head. “Apologize.” Selina said, “Fine, I’m sorry, but it’s very common in the movies for alien life forms to carry some sort of lethal bacteria…”

The golden alien dog head suddenly emerged. “Apologize!” Selina: “Huh?”

Gold Nugget said unhappily, “It’s viruses in the movies, not bacteria. What do you think I have? E.

coli?”

Luke burst out laughing.

Both Selina and Dollar had great appetites, and thanks to Gold Nugget, their digestive systems were functioning extraordinarily well. However, didn’t E. coli also help with digestion and the absorption of nutrients? Did Gold Nugget itself think that it was like E. coli? Selina immediately apologized to Gold Nugget. She didn’t really care and simply treated it like a kid. Luke finally said, “Your strength has increased by about 5%, and while it isn’t very apparent, your neural reflexes have also improved.” Selina was quite amazed. “It increased by so much?”

After many years of fitness training, her body had long reached its limits. But it had actually improved again, and by as much as 5%. That was too astonishing. Luke looked at Gold Nugget. “Do you know why?” Gold Nugget retreated back into Dollar’s body and made Dollar shake its head. “I don’t know. I’ve never heard of the symbiotic host’s strength being boosted when the two parties aren’t connected.” It paused for a moment. “Maybe, it’s because of Selina herself?”

Luke: “Huh?”

Gold Nugget said, “I absorbed most of the energy in her body, but during the symbiosis, some of it inevitably returned to her body and she absorbed it. It seems that the energy made me stronger. I’ve never heard of anything like that before.”

Luke frowned. “Are you sure?”

Gold Nugget hesitated. “I do feel a little stronger, but it’s not especially obvious; it’s a very small improvement.”

Pondering for a moment, Luke then said, “Then pay more attention next time.”

Gold Nugget was stumped. “Next time?”

But Luke fell silent.

He didn’t need Gold Nugget, and he couldn’t let it snoop into his mind and memories, but it was fine for Selina.

He now had to pay more attention to Dollar to ensure that the symbiosis had no negative effects, since Gold Nugget spent all its time in Dollar’s body. If it was safe, Gold Nugget and Selina could combine in an emergency

There was no hope when one was dead.

While there might be consequences, one could only worry about them if they were alive.

The ability to quickly recover from an injury alone was enough reason not to let Selina give up Gold Nugget.

But what was the energy inside Selina’s body that Gold Nugget mentioned? Observing Selina, who was taking a breather, Luke suddenly said, “Don’t move. Stand straight and let me have a look.”

Selina was perplexed, but did as he said.

Luke circled around her and stopped behind her for quite a while. She turned around, only to find Luke staring at her butt. She found that odd. “What’s up?” There would be no need for him to go to all this trouble if he wanted to take advantage of her. Luke shook his head and returned to the front to face her. “Lift your T-shirt above your breasts.”

Selina was even more confused, but still obeyed.

Luke stared at her magnificent boobs and tilted his head left and right to confirm that he wasn’t seeing things, before he rubbed his chin. “Haven’t you noticed that your butt and boobs… seem smaller?”

Flabbergasted, Selina whooshed back to her room.

Very soon, she came charging back.

She had put on a thong and switched out of her sports tank top into a bra, and she yelled nervously, “Smaller, they’re really smaller! Look at the bra! There’s actually a gap now! It used to fit perfectly.” Luke looked at her bra and did see a tiny gap, when it used to fill it completely before. He looked at Gold Nugget. “Is this your doing?” Gold Nugget quickly shook its head. “No. The energy in her body is much more delicious than fat. I’ve never touched her fat in those parts.”

Selina glared at Gold Nugget. “Are you sure? Didn’t you say that you eat fat as well?”

Gold Nugget scoffed. “Would you eat the hot dogs outside your police department when you can have char siu and suckling pig?”

Selina was unable to reply. Given what they had seen of Gold Nugget’s personality, it would never settle for second best unless it had no choice.

In this regard, it was just like Selina.

Why torture yourself with pigswill if good food was available?

Luke narrowed his eyes. “I’ll run a body-fat percentage test for you. I’ll also make you more food for the next few days. Don’t forget the nutrient solutions either.” Selina wasn’t that interested in delicious food right now. Touching her chest and butt uneasily, she mumbled, “God, please don’t let me get any skinnier.”

Luke rolled his eyes. Do you have any idea how many women want to get thinner this easily? Selina pulled a long face the moment she saw her body-fat percentage. It was 16%!

That was a very low body-fat percentage for a woman.

If it dropped any further, she would have muscles all over, but lose most of her beautiful, feminine curves. Selina wasn’t a fitness freak, and she was quite satisfied with her butt and boobs. She didn’t want to see them turn into muscles.

Looking at Selina, Luke warned her, “Until your body-fat percentage improves, you better not let Gold Nugget do anything again; it definitely has something to do with this.”
