Washing them off with hot water was almost like peeling off a layer of skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a forty-minute shower, Luke left the bathroom feeling extremely refreshed, and sat down in the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt amazing, as if he had been reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scars and acne had disappeared, and most of his body hair had dropped, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was also better-looking than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgrade had also stimulated his hair growth, and he could finally stop worrying about becoming bald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the sky in the backyard while enjoying a cup of tea, Luke felt wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his stats panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke (AKA Luke Coulson)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength: 40\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dexterity: 20\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mental Strength: 15\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had added the additional stat point to Mental Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t felt very good when increasing Mental Strength for the first time, but the effect was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head felt much clearer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that it was because his Mental Strength was still too low. An 8% increase was definitely noticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body that was growing stronger day by day required a more powerful mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to utilize the full range of his physical combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the most important thing right now was that his Strength had reached 40.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, Luke quickly paid ten thousand credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he couldn’t help but frown. “Oh! Sh*t! Again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body itched, as if it was recovering from a wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, Luke soon realized what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgrade just now had caused his body minor injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t do anything about it, the injuries would recover naturally in a day or two, but since he had just learned Carol’s Elementary Self-Healing, it was automatically activated, and was healing his minor injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injuries weren’t serious, and recovery felt like ants crawling all over his body. The feeling was gone five minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those minor injuries healed fast, but his left arm, which had been numb for a long time, was still itching\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left arm, which had been broken by the monsters in Wolfkyle, was starting to heal like crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was excited. After such a long wait, his left arm could finally go back to normal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he felt hungry again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to return to the dinner table and eat again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Elementary Self-Healing guzzled energy too. He had better just stay inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke cleaned up the house in passing and cut his own hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his strength and dexterity, it wasn’t difficult for him to cut his hair using pictures he found online as a guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina came back at four in the afternoon. She was rather surprised by Luke’s new look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke simply made up excuses to her questions and diverted her attention to the upcoming holiday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took Luke’s car to the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At half past five, they got on the plane, and at seven, they reached Aurora Hotel in Las Vegas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel even sent a car to pick them up since they had booked a room earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Luke had booked a deluxe business suite, which cost three thousand dollars a night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina ran excitedly around the room and laughed as she played with the facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke told her that he would get some rest first, so Selina went to the bathroom to enjoy a bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving her alone, Luke simply went to bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was still changing after his Strength reached 40.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t need to test it to know that he was stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his observations when his Strength reached 20, it would take a few hours to complete a quarter of such a massive upgrade, twenty-four hours to complete half of it, and around ten days for the upgrade to be fully complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he wouldn’t see the real effects of 40 Strength until ten days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Luke intended to get some rest tonight before doing anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a call to Greyson before he went to bed to see if the man was free the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Greyson was surprised to receive the call, but was happy for Luke to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was busy with an interesting case, so he simply invited Luke to meet him at the forensics center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke thanked him and hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was rather excited at the thought of visiting the Las Vegas Forensics Center, which was a holy land for all CSI staff in the United States.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making plans, an exhausted Luke soon fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At four in the morning, he woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He washed his face and brushed his teeth. He didn’t wake Selina since she was still fast asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had confirmed it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no telling if Selina had been too excited last night, but she fell asleep on her bed with her limbs splayed, and hadn’t closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke went to sleep early last night, and had no idea what she had been up to in her room. She was sleeping in nothing but her underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beautiful things were meant to be appreciated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke looked at her silently for ten seconds, before he closed Selina’s door and went downstairs, feeling satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>",938,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e8789600665ed39fcf300716414a0e1d4503d99cb7cdfa73078be05cf502ea5","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-207","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-205",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
