Chapter 2142 Side Story: Luke and Selina's Lazy Vacation 1
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Dawn arrived, and a gentle breeze blew.
The thin white curtain fluttered slightly, and the morning light of Shackelford shone mischievously through the gap, lighting up the quiet room slightly.
At six in the morning, Selina's biological clock kicked in.
She slowly opened her eyes and yawned lazily. Out of habit, she touched the side.
There was nobody there.
However, she could still sense some residual warmth, which proved that someone had been lying there half an hour ago.
This discovery made her yawn even wider — in any case, a certain person wasn't around to mock her for having a crocodile mouth.
Rubbing her cheeks, Selina felt a little bitter.
Fine, it was definitely psychological.
Given her current physique and the powerful effect of her Evolution ability, she could go to sleep after being stabbed and wake up completely healed, to say nothing of exhausted muscles.
Thinking that, Selina squinted her eyes and walked into the bathroom like she was sleepwalking. She took out the electric toothbrush which she had gotten Luke to custom-made for her and shoved it into her mouth.
Tasting the fresh mint-flavored foam in her mouth, she walked under the shower and turned on the tap so that hot water spilled over her head.
The water temperature was slightly high, and Selina gradually woke up from her stupor. Her eyes finally opened fully as she regained her vigor.
Squeezing out a lot of shower gel, she looked at the semi-liquid ball in her palm and couldn't help but think of something. She gave a disdainful exclamation, then couldn't help but mock, “That guy didn't turn into a bottle of shower gel, did he?”
Thinking that, Selina couldn't help but laugh out loud. She didn't forget to squeeze the bottle of shower gel as she muttered hatefully, “Squeeze it dry, squeeze it dry, squeeze it dry.”
…
20 minutes ago, Luke had taken a shower in the basement of the ranch villa. A weak shock wave swept over his body so that all the water droplets were shaken off.
He tapped the nanomaterial around his neck to activate it. It quickly covered him and turned into a white tank top and track pants.
Walking into the kitchen, he began to make breakfast for the day.
Gold Nugget unhurriedly paused the show on its phone, got up from the rocking chair on the porch, and lazily squeezed through the half-open door into the kitchen.
Luke didn't even turn his head as he tossed over the tuna burger he had just made.
The burger didn't fall apart in the air, and landed squarely in the dog head's mouth.
The dog head lay down lazily and started to chew slowly.
Luke finally turned around and looked at it. “What's wrong? Are you still angry with Selina?”
The dog head didn't say anything and simply turned its head away.
Luke was lost for words when he saw the dog sneak glances at him. A moment later, he said patiently, “It can't be helped. We didn't know you could split and reproduce.”
The dog head still didn't say anything, an aggrieved expression still on its face.
Luke was both annoyed and amused. He put down the ingredients in his hand and rubbed the dog's head hard. “Alright, I'll increase your energy supply by 50% every day. Deal?”
The dog head's eyes lit up, and it stretched out a paw to high-five Luke to seal the deal.
After placating the dog head, Luke washed his hands and started cooking again. Every now and then, he would throw out something good for the dog head to eat.
The problem with Gold Nugget and Selina happened that very night after the battle.
During Selina's awakening, Gold Nugget had absorbed too much Evolution energy, and couldn't help but split apart.
In symbiotes, this was reproduction, commonly known as… having children.
Why were the symbiotes most interested in Life 1, self-healing energy and the Evolution energy? Because these could boost their evolution.
But after they evolved and matured, there was a high chance of them splitting and reproducing.
What was even more troublesome was that Selina's Evolution ability was very special.
The ‘child” that the dog head produced had received too much Evolution energy, and was directly ‘bound” to Selina the moment it was born.
This ‘child” was a special symbiote. It had no self-awareness and was completely a part of Selina.
However, it also had most of the characteristics of a symbiote, such as… not sharing the same host.
No matter how close Gold Nugget was to Selina, it was still a normal symbiote, so it was ‘pushed out” of her body and could no longer combine with her.
This was a huge blow to the dog head.
What was even more depressing was that Selina couldn't be blamed for this. After all, Gold Nugget had eaten so happily during Selina's evolution!
It hadn't been able to control itself, especially given the low odds of Selina awakening to begin with.
In the end, it was its own ‘child” who stole its territory, which was even more ridiculous.
Besides, Dollar had always been the best host for Gold Nugget, and Dollar always followed Selina.
Strictly speaking, this unexpected ‘birth” just stopped the dog head from having each foot in a different boat.
This caused it to be depressed and listless on this long break. At night, it even ran to the porch alone to brood.
That was because Selina no longer needed its symbiosis at night to help her absorb the Evolution energy; instead, Gold Nugget's ‘child” had now become Selina's 24-hour energy converter.
As for the banging around on the second floor every night, that didn't have much to do with its current mood.
Now that Luke had made the promise, Gold Nugget's mood instantly improved.
The main point wasn't 50%; the main point was that the fiend was allowing it to combine with him. Gold Nugget hence was now switching from Selina to Luke.
In this house, Luke = Selina, so combining with Luke = combining with Selina; Gold Nugget was still a close member of this family.
Luke also felt that 50% wasn't the main point. The main point was that half meant it was incomplete, but 50% did sound like a lot.
Hm, this definitely wasn't bullying a certain dog head for not being good at math.
...
One person and one dog reached a mutually satisfactory outcome. They relaxed and focused on what they had to do — Luke focused on cooking, and the dog head focused on eating.
In this harmonious and quiet atmosphere, two figures, one big and one small, ran over from hundreds of meters away.
After they climbed a slope, they saw the lights in the villa's kitchen from 100 meters away.
The little figure cheered. “Wow~ Luke is up. Daddy, hurry up. I'm going to have breakfast.”
The man said helplessly, “Baby, Luke wakes up at six every day – you were the one who told me this ‘classified information”.”
How could the little figure care about her father's gripes? Her heart had already flown to her brother's dining table.
Luke's breakfast is still the best! she mumbled to herself, before she immediately repented. Sorry, Mom, I'm not saying that your breakfast isn't delicious – it's just that Luke's is even better.
It only took them ten seconds to cover 100 meters.
By the time they reached the villa, the little kid had already rushed to the kitchen window. She pressed her chubby face to the glass. “Luke, Luke.”
