Chapter 1472: The Clone’s Tour and Unexpected Surprise

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed since the Battle of New York.

In the middle of November, Luke took down the biggest gangs in Los Angeles.

Then, he went south to Mexico, but didn’t obtain as many points as he had anticipated.

The bigshots of the Mexican cartels were all well-hidden. There were phones in big cities, but basically no decent networks. Landlines were largely used in the countryside, so the multifaceted system was much less useful here.

The cartel bigshots were also directly involved in the process; it was easier to control their subordinates and keep clear accounts this way.

As a result, there wasn’t much interaction between separate process chains, and stock was scattered throughout the drug ring.

Only when the drugs were delivered to the United States were the goods piled together.

Luke had only encountered such a good thing once.

On the border, his Sharp Nose accidentally picked up a secret trail.

The Mexican gangs used this trail to smuggle goods into the United States.

By the time Luke found the warehouse, it had more than two tons of goods in it. That was the largest amount he came across from his trip to Mexico.

Most of the experience and credit points he earned in Mexico came from the drug traffickers themselves.

Luke had been too lazy to let V put on a performance for these uncouth and ruthless cartel members. After killing them, he simply stuffed them into his inventory and made them disappear.

By the time he left Mexico, several Mexican cartels were already on edge.

They didn’t know who the enemy was. They weren’t even sure if it was an enemy attack or an internal problem, because the missing people couldn’t give them any answers.

As usual, Luke didn’t deal with the small fry, and focused on finding the group’s core.

The Mexican cartels had always protected their regime using ruthless and bloody methods.

Most of the hoodlums in New York could be considered first-class citizens compared with core cartel members.

Also, the nests of these core figures would contain some goods, and they owed a lot of blood debts. Killing any one of them was worth more experience points than his second clone knocking out dozens of hoodlums in New York.

Half a month after the battle, the first clone started to make its way back to New York.

Luke had earned more than 300,000 experience and credit points, which was a lot more than what he got in New York.

More importantly, his operation didn’t have any negative impact on the ordinary people in Mexico.

The disappearance of key cartel members had caused a lot of chaos, but law and order was much better now that they were no longer around.

The paranoid Mexican cartels were basically too busy carrying out internal investigations to cause trouble in the short term.

After all, it wasn’t just the key members who were missing; a lot of goods, cash, ledgers, and so on had also disappeared.

They themselves had a lot of internal information which couldn’t be leaked.

However, what the cartel bigshots were worried about wasn’t going to happen. At least, the DEA and the FBI wouldn’t come knocking.

After Luke was done sorting out this information, he would have his clone return to Mexico and slowly purge the cartels once more.

These cartels were like ripe wheat fields. Once Luke found them, he could cut down a huge swarth in one go.

How could he let such a good thing go?

But at that moment, the clone had no choice but to stop what was quickly turning into a “tour” of the region and rush back to New York.

That was because Luke finally had enough to obtain the final stat.

His basic stats were: 29 Strength, 13 Dexterity, and 11 Mental Strength.

In the system, he had… 1 extra stat point.

60 Strength. He could obtain it at any time.

For the past ten days or so, Luke had stopped most of his other training and work, and focused on cultivating the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique.

He had learned a long time ago that the body transformation wasn’t completed in one day.

More than 60% of his body would be transformed in the first 24 hours before the transformation effects gradually receded over the next ten days as the remaining 30% was completed.

He had rarely stopped practicing the Chi Refining Technique in the last half-month.

Just like that, more than 10,000 credit points were consumed by the Chi Refining Technique. In the end, however, his Dexterity increased by three points.

For Luke, this was a huge and pleasant surprise.

What surprised him even more was that his Strength and Mental Strength had also increased by one point each.

Taking advantage of breaking 40 for Dexterity in tandem with cultivating the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique, he obtained an additional 5 stat points.

His Dexterity benefited the most, while Strength and Mental Strength probably only benefited a little.

He had thought that he would need to work hard for another month or two to achieve 60 Strength, but he had done it.

Luke couldn’t wait to break through this important juncture, which was why he called back his first clone.

After the clone returned, it went straight to the basement of the New Hope laboratory, where Luke and the second clone were waiting.

What he needed to do next was basically the same as when he had leveled up to 40 Dexterity.

This time, however, Luke wasn’t in the same room.

Osiris, the medical program that had been released from his inventory, would monitor and protect the three bodies at the same time.

After Luke tapped on the + sign for Strength, the number changed from 29 to 30, and his body was instantly seized with intense reactions.

Luke had already foreseen that it would be even harder to level up than before.

But when the pain assailed him, he realized that he would never be able to truly guess what it felt like to level up.

Almost instantly, the IV needle in his arm was pushed out by a strong force, and a large amount of blood sprayed out.

Osiris reacted quickly. It immediately sprayed a wad of medical gel on the area and slapped on a restraining band.

After this timely treatment, Luke’s Elementary Self-Healing was immediately activated and it swiftly healed the puncture wound.

But Luke didn’t pay any attention to this at all.

He only had one thought on his mind: Sure enough, advancing to 60 was more painful than advancing to 40!

From the image on Osiris’s monitor screen, Luke’s body seemed to come alive as all his muscles twisted and moved; he looked like he had been shocked by electricity as he bounced around on the treatment bed.

The bed was rapidly bent out of shape under the impact, and after more than ten seconds, it collapsed at an angle.

Just like that, Luke fell to the floor.

Osiris quickly moved the bed and other equipment away, and left its master on the floor. In any case, there was no difference between the floor and the bed.

In two other rooms, the two clones could be considered to be in fairly normal condition.

While they felt the same pain as the main body, their own bodies didn’t change much.

30 seconds after the upgrade began, Luke got used to the pain and finally started cultivating the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique once more.

Circulating the chi gave him a way to release the restless energy in his body.. The pain gradually lessened, and he finally got his body under control.
