Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 1150 - A Divine Technique Combo and the Master's Ambitions

Chapter 1150: A Divine Technique Combo and the Master’s Ambitions

Now that Luke had these two abilities, he discovered after some rough research that they were even more useful than he had imagined.

For him, the biggest shortcoming was that his physique wasn’t good enough, which restricted his use of his abilities.

Luke, who had 40 Strength, 27 Dexterity and 40 Mental Strength, also had Elementary Self-Healing, Quick Reflex, and Physical Outburst.

He could easily carry out movements that ordinary people couldn’t, and he wasn’t afraid of injuring himself when he tested Elementary Muscle Control.

Except for the fact that it hurt more frequently, it wasn’t a big problem.

He turned this Muscle Control, which was initially a trump card, into a regular skill.

Nikki called it “Explosion,” but Luke preferred to call it “Berserk.”

This trump card was similar to Physical Outburst, except that it was more like an increase in strength. It had a similar side effect, which was hidden physical injuries.

There were a lot of possibilities in combining Berserk with Physical Outburst.

Luke felt that as long as he studied and honed this combo for a while, it might turn into a new ability.

Even when Muscle Control wasn’t used in “Explosion,” it could make minute adjustments to his movements so that his muscles could support difficult movements, thus significantly increasing his combat ability.

Lastly, it had another support function.

With a bit of focus, Luke could change the shape of his muscles to a certain extent, whether it was his face or his body.

In other words, even without the Thousand Faces System, he could instantly change his appearance.

He couldn’t turn into someone else’s face, but it was very easy to make his face unrecognizable.

It could be said that Muscle Control was a multifunctional “divine skill” that was far more useful than he had expected.

But it still couldn’t compare with Monica’s Elementary Imitation.

Elementary Imitation sounded very simple — it allowed a person to quickly imitate the movements of others.

At first glance, it didn’t look like a big deal, but when this “quick imitation” was applied to increasing proficiency in minutes and not days, this skill was far more magical than Elementary Muscle Control.

Take Monica, for example. If other people took a year to learn taekwondo, it only took her three to five days; the only difference was in combat awareness and physique.

She didn’t even need to personally make a move; she just needed to watch a live demonstration a few times from the side to completely understand these movements.

She knew exactly how to exert force and coordinate her movements. She was pretty much as fast as a copy.

But similar with Elementary Muscle Control, the real limitation of this ability was the person themself.

Without enough combat awareness and a good enough physique, it was impossible for a fat homebody to suddenly do a spin in the air and land steadily, even if he knew every step of the process.

This ability was more like a magnifier, which made all physical movements simpler.

It just so happened that Luke had enough combat awareness and experience, and a body far stronger than an ordinary person’s.

With Nikki and Monica’s respective abilities, their combat ability increased several-fold.

As for Luke, who had a combo of the two abilities, his combat ability wasn’t the only thing that increased; he also now had a chance to turn the impossible into the possible.

He was proficient in various cold weapons, firearms, and extreme parkour, but without enough training, it was hard for him to perform everything at the same time.

Naturally, that was no longer a problem.

With his strong physique, the two new abilities, and a vast trove of Basic skills, he would become an expert in most combat-related skills after three to five days of training.

He would be able to not only learn, but also master more unusual skills like the spear, bow and arrows, horse-riding, skiing and so on.

It could be said that from the moment he obtained these two perfectly matched abilities, Luke was absolutely certain that he would become a combat master.

Also, this combat master would be on a cosmic scale, and not limited to Earth.

His Elementary Combat Proficiency was already at the peak on Earth.

Except for a few mysterious bigshots whom he had only heard of, he wasn’t worried about anything else.

If Luke was given a few years, there wouldn’t be many people in the universe who could beat him in pure combat.

As with any job or industry, the higher up you went, the fewer people there were.

If there were a dozen people on Earth who were proficient in Elementary Combat, there might only be dozens of aliens in the entire universe who were proficient in Intermediate Combat.

As for Advanced Combat Proficiency? It was hard to say if this ability existed.

The G.o.d of Thunder was a good example.

Even this Asgardian “G.o.d” who had lived for thousands of years wouldn’t waste his energy on too many combat skills.

He only needed to choose one or two that were the most suitable for him, like Advanced One-Handed Hammer Proficiency, and then obtain a suitable “divine weapon” to unleash his greatest combat ability. There was no need to work on all his combat skills.

As long as Thor had the Mjölnir hammer and combined it with his Advanced One-Handed Hammer Proficiency, it would be hard for Luke to defeat him without a special “divine weapon.”

This was the typical question of whether it was better to be a Jack of all trades or master of one.

Luke’s advantage was Daddy System’s Super Learning Mode, which was his first cheat.

Next, he had these two new abilities. Not only did they allow him to unleash 100% or 200% of his strength, he would be able to quickly learn the other party’s movements in a fight; this was equivalent to a second cheat.

The reaction between the two wasn’t a combination, but a multiplication, or even an exponential increase, so he didn’t have to spend a lot of time “specializing” in combat.

If he used a hammer, he wouldn’t be inferior to Thor, nor to Captain America if he used a s.h.i.+eld, or to Hawkeye if he used a bow. For Luke, none of this was a dream any longer.

After figuring out these two abilities, Luke couldn’t help but rub his chin and murmur, “I still have to properly thank Nikki and Monica. In the future, I’ll ask them what dreams they have, and try to help them achieve it.”

He had always felt that even if other people didn’t know about the system acquiring abilities, he himself couldn’t act like it was nothing.

Since he had chosen to kill bad guys for experience and credit points, he should be generous in his thanks to the people who helped him. That was his own sense of fairness.

Otherwise, based on how the system judged things, he could kill bad guys without guilt, but he wouldn’t have a clear conscience when obtaining benefits from innocent people.

For example, Luke had pulled some strings to help Alicia’s mother find a job after Alicia provided him with Sharp Nose in Houston. They didn’t know, however, that it was Luke who had done it.

Thanks to the girl’s grat.i.tude, he acquired Sharp Nose, this divine skill, at the very beginning.

Whether in cracking cases or gathering credit points, this ability played an unimaginably vital role.

So, he would make sure that the little girl, Alicia, lived a comfortable life.

If she had some skills when she grew up, and wanted to make a fortune, he was willing to secretly invest in her.

He treated everyone the same, like Carol and Tony, and would pay them all back.

Only then would he feel at ease.
