Chapter 792: Enemies Everywhere, and Two Teammates

As for the enemies panel… there were a lot.

For example, Mephisto, the bigshot from Hell whom Luke met last night, was on the 3-star list of enemies and ranked first.

Most of the people in the 2-star list were those whom Luke’s alternate identities had sent packing and who hadn’t died yet.

The list included Dylan Elsworth, Alex Montell, and some other people with the surname Elsworth; they were vampires whom Batman had gotten sent off to a secret research facility.

There were too many enemies on the 1-star list.

Many criminals who had been arrested as well as their family members were on the list. Clearly, they weren’t feeling friendly to a particular detective.

Luke only gave the panel a cursory glance.

It was that easy for a detective from the Major Crimes Division to draw hate.

If he printed this list out in font size 5 at the smallest, it would still be an A4 stack one centimeter in height.

That was one of the reasons why he hadn’t been in the mood to study the team module yesterday.

It was too hard to be a good person in this world! Luke sighed.

The more he sacrificed for this world, the more enemies he had. It wasn’t easy being a superhero.

However, that wasn’t the team module’s only function.

After checking, Luke found that all the abilities of his only two teammates were unlocked.

Previously, he could only choose to defeat or kill the other party. Otherwise, he had to earn the other party’s gratitude to qualify to learn someone’s abilities.

Now, the team module finally provided a third way — become teammates.

Luke was relieved.

He could defeat or even kill his enemies without hesitation to obtain their abilities.

But he couldn’t do the same with neutral and friendly people.

Once he used a bet to obtain an ability, there were huge hidden dangers.

Bobby, for example, had a good relationship with Luke, but he wasn’t as grateful as the system required him to be.

Bobby had always been a little unlucky.

If he lost a bet to Luke, this PR manager might get into a car accident if he was driving.

Or if he went down into Boom Town’s mine, it might collapse on him.

Thinking that, Luke slapped his forehead. When he went back, he would have to arrange for Bobby to return to Los Angeles.

He had accidentally forgotten about his PR manager, who had been at the Boom Town mine for almost three months.

But Bobby didn’t have much combat ability, so it was unlikely that he would become Luke’s teammate.

If Manager Bobby continued to be left in the mines, it was likely that he would hate Luke more rather than feel grateful to him.

This was the first gain from the team module.

Secondly, Selina’s panel also revealed some information.

There was nothing extraordinary about her abilities.

The system didn’t consider Selina’s symbiotic relationship with Gold Nugget and the buff on her as her ability.

Combined with the fact that Selina hadn’t lost weight in years but also had never been fat, Luke had some guesses.

Maybe one day, she would give him a surprise! Just as he was thinking that, Luke suddenly received a system notification.

System: Teammate Selina has completed the task of cleaning up drug gangs and destroying illegal drugs.

Total experience: 500. Total credit: 500.

Contribution rate: 80%.

Selina is a 3-star teammate. Host automatically gets a 50% share of the contribution rate.

Host has obtained 200 experience and 200 credit points.

Luke was lost for words. So this was how teammates worked?

After a moment of excitement, he finally suppressed the urge to call Selina.

He had been too hasty earlier, and because of his slip, was unable to use his inventory for the time being. He had to calm down, calm down!

Looking at the notification on Selina’s panel, he calmed down and pondered it.

800 experience and credit points indicated that Selina had probably gone out to beat up hooligans while he wasn’t around, to continue the legend of the L.A. Knee Breaker.

The nest wasn’t big, and there weren’t many illegal drugs.

The contribution rate for the mission was only 80%. It was probably because a certain dog head had gone along and helped out.

In the end, Luke got half of the experience and credit points from Selina completing her mission, which was 500 x 80% x 50% = 200.

Luke couldn’t help but smile.

Compared with him, this harvest was naturally very low.

His trip to Dallas had earned him tens of thousands of experience and credit points.

The 200 experience and credit points from Selina could only be considered a handful.

However, Luke didn’t have to do anything to get these experience and credit points.

Treasure! Luke thought.

Wasn’t this the treasure in some online games?

Although the system said that Selina was a teammate, experience was distributed equally among in-game teammates.

After Luke activated the team module the day before yesterday, the system didn’t distribute any experience or credit points to Selina and Robert.

Clearly, this sharing mode was just a one-sided harvest from Luke’s teammates.

In addition, the system also mentioned that Selina was a 3-star teammate.

So, the teammate’s star rating might also affect the share of contribution points?

Thinking that, he glanced at his teammates panel.

Robert was still traveling around the world with Catherine. Even if he went back to town to work, he wouldn’t deal with any major cases.

Besides, he was already a middle-aged man in his forties. Since he had decided to retire in a small town, it was good for him to spend the rest of his days peacefully.

Thus, Luke wasn’t counting on Robert to supply him points.

At that moment, he thought of another question: Why weren’t the others on this team?

For example, Drax, Catherine, and Claire, were all part of his family and very close to him. Why weren’t they included?

Observing his teammates carefully, he noticed something.

The system had activated the team module function.

Team. That was the key word.

Robert and Selina, who were his teammates, had both experienced life and death battles with him.

Selina was an all-round partner who had gone through life and death with him many times. She was without doubt a hardcore teammate.

Back in Shackelford, Robert and Luke had killed dozens of criminals from the Carlos family together as part of the small town’s sheriff department.

That was probably why they were considered teammates.

But Dustin and Elsa had also fought alongside Luke, yet they weren’t on the list.

He would have to study this carefully in the future.

Their colleagues in the police department were professionals who had been involved in various cases for a long time. Once they became teammates, he would be able to earn a steady stream of points from them.

Also, these people were quite close to him. It should be easier to turn them into teammates than strangers.

Also, Gold Nugget wasn’t on the list. Maybe because… it wasn’t human?

Suddenly, another system notification popped up.

System: Teammate Selina has completed the task of rescuing the woman and subduing the hoodlums.

Total experience: 5

Contribution rate: 100%. Selina is a 3-star teammate. Host automatically gets a 50% share of the contribution rate.

Host has obtained 2 experience and 2 credit points.

Looking at this utterly eye-catching 2, Luke was stupefied.
