Chapter 1684: Unexpected Harvest and Ivan’s Vacation

As a cover, this onsen hotel set-up was pretty good.

There were even two female staff members at the front desk who pretended to be receptionists.

Of course, these two women weren’t good people either. They were bright red in the system after taking a lot of innocent lives, and Luke sent them to join their colleagues.

Most of the members of the branch were Japanese locals, and naturally liked hot springs.

Thus, even though there weren’t many guests in the onsen, it wasn’t a waste as the branch employees took advantage of these benefits.

As the leader, Chris naturally had his own private hot spring.

But he was an American, so he wasn’t as interested in the hot spring – at least, that was what he felt.

It just so happened that this private hot spring was installed here when the place was built.

Even if Chris had never used it, nobody else would dare make use of it, which made things easier for Luke.

As a clean freak, he couldn’t even swim in a public pool, much less a small pool that had been used for a long time.

The Blue Mountain coffee was on his right, and the snacks he took out from his inventory were on the left. In front of him was the tranquil mountain scenery. He quickly fell into deep thought.

His harvest from this trip to Japan was unexpected.

Shiro Yashida and his bodyguards had given Luke a total of 5,000 experience and credit points.

But Luke didn’t think it was too little.

historical

The poison blonde wasn’t dead yet, and only gave him 2,000 experience and credit points.

The Hydra branch, including Mr. Chris, who had been neatly sent on their way, gave Luke 150,000 experience and credit points for more than 500 people.

Shredder and his secret research lab had been worth a total of 230,000 experience and credit points, most of which had come from the mastermind himself.

In just a few days, Luke had earned almost 400,000 experience and credit points.

Sure enough, Hydra was a fat sheep.

It had a lot of wool and meat, and every bite was full of fat.

Unfortunately, not every branch had Shredder, this unexpected surprise – this “buy one, get one free” in Japan had been a pure stroke of luck.

On top of that, Shiro Yashida and the blonde had worked together to make the silver samurai armor.

Although Shiro Yashida didn’t have a tech background and the blonde woman was only an assistant, the specialized resources which they were missing were a very close match to the Iron Man suit.

In other words, as long as Luke wanted to, he could make improvements with Tony’s skills at any time to make an even more formidable set of silver samurai armor.

But Luke wasn’t very interested in that. What he was interested in was the armor’s “super gene extraction technology.”

This technology could use the silver samurai’s A.I. program to operate nanomachines and have them filter out special genes in a target’s body before injecting them into the wielder’s own.

Yashida had planned to use this to swallow up Shredder, but he didn’t know how terrifying the latter was.

And what Shredder didn’t know was that the blonde woman by Yashida’s side could control Shredder.

In the end, it was Luke who profited as he cheerfully swept everything up in his net in one go.

However, this technology was something Yashida had developed in order to prolong his life. It was a desperate attempt, and there was no experimental data.

Naturally, Luke didn’t dare use it directly.

But there was a lot of potential for this research, and he couldn’t give it up.

It just so happened that he had Space 2, this foolproof prison.

It now had three superhumans: the sandman Hodge, Claudia, who was half-plant, and the poison blonde. They just needed a bunch of bright red test subjects to experiment on.

The blonde’s abilities were interesting, but what Luke was interested in wasn’t her poison.

Her nanotoxin was indeed terrifying, but the danger came mostly from the semi-intelligent nanotechnology.

For Luke, who had always been working on the nanosuit, this was much more important than the poison.

There was no way to control how fatal the poison was. Luke wasn’t as evil as the blonde, and had to consider the collateral damage from using it.

That was a super lethal poison, and the collateral damage was innocent lives.

If he didn’t draw a line, Luke was really afraid that he would just become the system’s puppet for grinding points.

Compared with everything else, the semi-intelligent nanotechnology was really very powerful, and could be used as the basis for nanoarmor.

As for the nanosuit which Luke made, it was at most close-fitting armor to be worn on the inside – it wasn’t as good as the main armor when it came to fighting capability.

Tony had made a lot of progress in nanotechnology recently – Luke could give him this.

Given the tycoon’s flashy and paranoid nature, he would definitely put a lot of effort into this semi-intelligent nanotechnology.

Luke only needed to invest a bit of his own skills, and didn’t need to do anything else; he just needed to refresh Tony’s list of abilities.

As for Shredder’s Blood God Experimental, it was a fusion of magic and science. Currently, there were a lot of flaws in the technology. Unless it was modified, Luke didn’t want to use it at all.

For the time being, the Blood God Experimental could only be treated as backup tech, just like the Chitauri, the Enchantress, and the demon with chicken wings.

In short, the blonde woman’s abilities had been a surprise harvest, but Luke was satisfied.

If he had just killed Shredder according to the original plan, he wouldn’t have gotten this semi-intelligent nanotechnology at all.

Thank you, Shiro Yashida. What a good guy.

Not only did he deliver himself up as points, he also delivered the gift bag that was the blonde.

Thinking that, Luke couldn’t help but feel cheerful. He poured himself another cup of coffee and took a sip.

..

That night, Luke called Ivan.

In the end, this guy seemed very busy, and Luke could hear coy cries on the other end.

Luke could easily tell with Elementary Sound Wave that there were three different female voices.

Luke was lost for words. “Even a normal sandwich can’t satisfy you in Japan?”

“What’s up?”

Luke said, “I’m done for now, so after you’re done playing, you can go back to America. Also, remember that you’re rich. Any problem that you can solve with money isn’t a problem at all.”

Ivan was stunned. “What?”

This was different from what he had thought about being under surveillance.

Luke snorted. “Remember to use protection. Some drugs don’t have noticeable effects. By the time it rots and falls off, it’ll be too late.”

He then hung up.

On the other end of the line, Ivan almost cursed out loud, but suppressed it.

The women who were drinking and playing saw him put down his phone, and they approached him again. “Vladimir, come and play.”

His anger suddenly evaporated.

It wasn’t because of the women, but because he suddenly realized that he was free in Japan.

He couldn’t help but recall the amount on his card. Was it three million or five million? How rich was he?

However, he understood that the rich man was reminding him not to use his identity as Electric Cable to cause trouble; except for that, he could do whatever he wanted.

Ivan chuckled. It was fine. Even if he spent all his money, he could just earn a fee for his services.

With this face, it was easy to make money off rich Japanese women.
