Super Detective in the Fictional World - Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199: The Correct Way to Officially Open the Marvel World?

On the other side, Luke disappeared after he left the scene. After dealing with the aftermath, he went to his seaside villa in Nassau County.

The advantage of this villa was that it was on the beach and hemmed in by the properties of two other rich people. It was practically impossible for passers-by to enter, and was especially suitable for monitoring and screening suspicious people.

It was also very convenient for him to go in and out of the villa at night. Nobody knew that he went in and out through an underwater passage.

Across the water was the Bronx, and gliding for a minute or two would take him into Manhattan. It was very convenient for transport, and he could go ashore or enter the water from any part of the coast.

The person who bought this house and lived here was naturally the Star of Justice clone.

The villa’s modern, minimalist interior basically hadn’t been touched, but Luke had personally remodeled the basement into a new underground lab. He had brought the materials in with his inventory space so that no one knew about it.

The neighbors 200 meters away only knew that a lone, middle-aged man lived here.

When they came by to visit and sound him out, Luke had politely and indifferently sent them away a few times before they stopped.

With few people around and a secluded environment, the villa was very suitable for resting and moving out at any time. At the same time, some of his research work could be done here.

Luke poured himself a cup of tea and had a sip before he looked at his harvest.

Mrs. Gao had already been shocked unconscious with a taser. Luke injected her and Alexandra with a sedative and threw them into Space 2.

Elektra was enjoying the effects of the hibernate function, which froze her bodily functions so that she wouldn’t wake up and cause trouble.

However, he didn’t obtain a lot of experience and credit points because he hadn’t killed or injured any of the five “fingers.”

He would have to wait until he was done exploiting their worth to collect these gift bags.

What he was more interested in was the list of abilities he had just acquired.

System: You have defeated Alexandra and have received a list of her abilities. You may now learn some of them.

Alexandra’s abilities: Basic Multilingualism (Chinese, English, Japanese, French)… Basic Combat, Kunlun Chi Refining (10,000 credit points), Elementary Longevity (Prerequisites: 20 Mental Strength, Kunlun Chi Refining, special strength of the dragon, 10,000 Credit)

System: You have defeated Mrs. Gao and have received a list of her abilities. You may now learn some of them.

Mrs. Gao’s abilities: Basic Multilingualism (Chinese, English, Japanese)… Kunlun Ancient Martial Arts (1,000 Credit), Kunlun Chi Refining, Elementary Longevity

System: You have defeated Elektra (Black Sky) and received a list of her abilities. You may now learn some of them.

Elektra’s abilities: Basic Combat, Basic Cold Weapon Proficiency… Elementary Dematerialization (Unavailable)

Luke rubbed his chin. So, the biggest gains tonight were still from Mrs. Gao?

This petite Asian old woman who seemed to walk with a limp had hit him with a palm.

Although it seemed like the armor had blocked the attack, an extremely unusual energy had passed through the armor to directly affect Luke.

If Tony had been hit in the Iron Man suit, it wouldn’t have been strange if he puked on the spot.

If an ordinary person was hit, they would have broken a few bones and sustained internal bleeding. It was an absolutely fatal strike.

The one thing that caught his attention was the prerequisite for Elementary Longevity, “special strength of the dragon.”

Earlier, when the blind old man had been trading words with Alexandra, he had vaguely revealed that she was relying on some sort of power to increase her lifespan.

Alexandra looked at least twenty to thirty years younger than the blind old man, but she seemed much older. Elementary Longevity had a huge impact.

However, Luke had already done all sorts of tests on himself, and speculated that he would probably be able to live for more than 150 years.

And that was only the bottom line; it was also possible he could live up to 200 years.

Furthermore, this guess was based on his current physical stats. Once his Strength reached 60, 80, 100, or if he learned Intermediate Self-Healing, his lifespan might increase significantly.

To a certain extent, he would live longer and longer — for a few more decades at least.

Thus, he didn’t really value this ability to live, but was more concerned about what the “special strength of the dragon” was.

Who knew, he might find something interesting! As he pondered this, he casually learned the Kunlun Ancient Martial Arts and Kunlun Chi Refining technique. In any case, they only cost 11,000 credit points in total, which was nothing.

He only looked at the Kunlun Ancient Martial Arts briefly.

As a combat expert, he basically only needed one look to become familiar with it, and just a few days to become proficient. He wasn’t enthusiastic about learning it.

It had to be said that Mrs. Gao was quite good at fighting.

In her Kunlun Ancient Martial Arts, she was the strongest at the Eight Trigrams Palm and the Piguaquan. Of course, they were fundamentally different from martial arts in a normal world. Then, there was swordsmanship and… the Mandarin Duck Kick.

So, it was worth pondering why Mrs. Gao was crippled.

What he checked next was the Kunlun Chi Refining technique.

As he perceived Mrs. Gao’s abundant practice and experience with this Chi Refining technique, the amazement grew on his face until his expression turned ecstatic.

Even with Luke’s current mental fortitude, he couldn’t help but jump up from the couch and laugh out loud. “Internal chi! There’s actually internal chi! Marvel actually has ‘chi’? Is ‘martial arts’ actually the right way to officially open this world?”

Overexcited, he got up and went to the underground training room. He immediately started practicing the Kunlun Chi Refining technique.

His movements were smooth and flowed like water. In less than ten minutes, he stopped and closed his eyes for a moment before he suddenly shouted, “Iron Palm!”

He covered a distance of ten meters and hit the sandbag in front of him.

Bang!

The sandbag made with special materials was instantly sent flying.

Luke, however, frowned and grabbed the falling sandbag. He looked at his palm and said, “Alfred, check the damage to the sandbag.”

The smart system for the Batman suit, Alfred, was also the A.I. butler for the clone’s base of operations here. It immediately said in an unadulterated and slightly old male voice, “The material on the surface is less durable and is partly damaged. Master, you might need to be in the same position and strike it two or three more times.”

Luke didn’t think much of it. He had deliberately adjusted Alfred’s language mode to a more outgoing personality. Otherwise, if he played Batman for too long, his personality would turn a little dark.

If Alfred was a little more talkative, he could remind Luke not to get too engrossed in his role.

Luke didn’t say anything else. He closed his eyes for a moment, then shouted again, “Diamond Palm!” He struck another part of the sandbag.

Bang!

“Master, you’ve improved again. Another strike or two will do.” Alfred continued acting cheeky.

Luke hummed and thought for a moment. This time, he didn’t close his eyes again, but pushed out with his palm. “Wudang Soft Palm!”

There was a slight tearing sound.

Alfred said, “Master, you’re awesome! One more time; it’s about to break.”
