Chapter 0005: Gathering, Bold Ideas, and Completing the Task Again

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Leisurely riding his bicycle along the wide road, he paused at an intersection waiting for the red light when he heard a call from the side: "Get down, Michi, it's time to go home with Grandma, we have your favorite canned fish for dinner tonight"

A beautiful American Shorthair was there, tilting its head to look at him, and did not hide. He easily scooped it up with one hand, and when he released it, it jumped down.

Luke still smiled and nodded: "See you in the evening"

However, she wants to attend a community college to complete her university studies, yet this girl still yearns for life in a big city

Once the final formal event of high school, the graduation ball, concludes, everyone will be free to arrange their own time as they wish

Luke merely smiled and said, "Indeed, how else could one command me?" As he spoke, he tested the wall by the street, stepped onto a small brick crevice, pushed off with force, and grasped the eaves above with both hands

At 6 PM, Luke tidied up and left the house

He made a face at Robert, who was turning to go inside, then returned to the porch to sit down and leisurely began to eat his lunch

Apart from taking a shower and changing into a clean set of everyday clothes, there is no need to dress up specifically for today's evening event

It was not until just before her high school graduation that Jimena barely managed to accumulate enough credits

The difference in scores between the two individuals is somewhat significant

Luke nodded with a smile: "Of course, do you need me to put on the suit that I prepared a month ago?"

After trying to grasp the eaves he had caught, he felt assured and then called out, "Come on, Miki, be a good girl and follow Grandma home for dinner"

Robert was furious: "Get lost! You little brat who hasn't even grown a full set of hair."

Although there are still some people who will remain in their hometowns, Luke and Jimena have long been aware of each other's intentions

Jimena playfully hit him and said: "You are not embarrassed, yet I am still worried. Remember the time, arrive promptly at 7:00 PM. If you are late again, I will kick your butt"

Luke: "No need, I am more proficient in this business than you."

Luke saluted with a playful two-finger military salute: "Yes, madam!"

Task: Assist the townspeople and rescue the kitten. Experience gained: 2, Points earned: 2

Luke nodded with a smile

Moments later, Luke was driven out of the police station by Robert, holding a large paper bag in his hand

He lifted his foot to get out of the car, casually leaned the vehicle against a railing by the roadside, and walked over: "Lucy, has Miki been mischievous again?"

At this moment, Luke suddenly stated that he wanted to stay and become a small police officer, which was a change, yet it did not alter the outcome of the separation between the two.

Jimena cannot stay

Jimena looked at him and couldn't help but pounce on him again, biting his ear lightly and giving it a gentle lick: "You rascal, don't you have any bold ideas? Hehe, remember to check Robert's nightstand."

Rather, as long as he possesses the formal identity of a police officer and engages in corresponding actions, he will be able to gain experience and points

Experience is not the focus, and points are not the focus either

Jimena leaned in and gave him a lingering wet kiss: "I'm leaving first, Marda is still waiting for me at the supermarket to help move some things, see you tonight"

Luke: "First, bring me lunch, I am hungry again"

A mere two points of experience and credits are clearly insufficient to even fill the gaps between teeth

This indicates that the system awards experience and points not based on working hours

This system has indeed been officially activated, and the key to this activation is not solely the instance of activation and synchronization, but also the first task—becoming an official police officer

After a long while, she finally spoke: "You are coming to the gathering at Marda's house tonight."

Luke's academic performance is at least above average, and having completed his credits early, he also has a chance of entering a state university

However, this once again proves one of his previous hypotheses

Luke Zheng nodded and said, "I will, I promise"

Just as Luke was still pondering over tonight's "private matters," he heard Robert's voice behind him: "Oh, oh, our little rascal has grown up, daring to flirt with girls right at the police station entrance"

Without mentioning Lucy, she slowly got into her own car to head home, while Luke felt a surge of surprise in his heart

The two individuals are destined to be unable to continue together

Robert paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow: "Heh, it's up to you. I have some lubricant over here, do you want it?"

There is no need to drive, as Marda's home is in the town, and it takes only about ten minutes to ride a bike to his house

Tonight's gathering is considered private in nature and is not organized by the school. Attire is entirely up to the individuals; it is even possible for some to wear nothing at all. However, it is certain that no one will be wearing a prom dress.

Luke turned his head with a smile and said, "Yes, Robert. There is a party tonight, and I will stop by your bedroom first."

The two have been in a relationship for over two years, and what should have happened has long since occurred. Although he is only eighteen years old physically, his soul is that of a thirty-year-old

In her youth, with her lively and exuberant spirit, it is impossible for her to remain trapped in this small rural town in Texas.

Based on the completion of the first task after signing, it can be inferred that what he actually needs is a formal identity as a police officer, rather than merely being on duty

Hand over the American Shorthair named Miki to Grandma Lucy, and the two waved goodbye

This time, the cat rescue operation also took place before he officially started working, yet the system still awarded him experience points and credits

Finally, there are gains again

Luke turned his head to the side and immediately burst into laughter

Watching the tall figure of Ximena disappear into the distance, he stroked his chin: Given the circumstances tonight, should I bring a box over

He does not care much about the evening gathering, even though Jimena's implicit invitation is clear, he remains unexcited

Continuing to mentally disturb the foolish system, and having conveniently resolved his lunch, he leisurely walked home

Grandma Lucy also laughed: "Oh, have I become Obi-Wan?"

Some people travel, some work hard for the university they attend, some begin to search for jobs, and most will undertake all of this after the graduation prom

However, neither of them discussed this topic, a situation that is almost common sense for high school couples, and not many people would be troubled by it

After walking for several hundred meters, I encountered my neighbor Smith and got a ride home.

As for what is in Robert's bedside table, it certainly does not refer to a gun

Grandma Lucy is also one of his neighbors, living three houses away from his home. Miki occasionally runs over to play on the grass near his house, which is why she is quite familiar with him and readily accepts his embrace.

She turned her head and saw Luke, feeling as if she had been granted a great reprieve: "Ah, young Skywalker, quickly use your Force to help me and get this troublesome little girl down.

This is a lady in her sixties, petite and slender in build, with a head full of silver hair neatly secured by several hairpins. Although her face is covered in wrinkles, it is evident that she was a great beauty in her youth
