Chapter 3 One Week

Working overtime is out of the question.

In his previous life, Luke spent most of his life staying up late and working overtime.

When I was a kid, it was normal to stay up late doing homework and work overtime after work.

enough.

It's really enough.

Living so seriously, hard, and hard has resulted in occupational diseases, and I will see God before I reach forty.

He wants to live an easier life in this life.



Luke's parents' home is located in the Inno community.

There is a small commercial square on the east side of the community. It is not large in scale, but has supermarkets, convenience stores, fast food restaurants, and gas stations.

Luke didn't want to stay at the police station, nor did he want to go back to his parents' house too early.

I just want to find a place to spend some time quietly, that's all.

Luke parked his motorcycle in front of a milk tea shop.

Luke drank milk tea for the first time in Los Angeles, and the store clerk recommended Boba milk tea to him.

"Oh yeah."

Luke became very interested, and after getting the milk tea, he discovered that it was actually large-grained pearl milk tea.

"Fuck!"

Luke felt cheated.

I found a seat by the window and took a sip of milk tea. It was so sweet that it tasted worse than domestic milk tea.

Then, he started to feel dazed.

This is Luke's favorite thing to do after time travel.

He still can't figure out why he traveled to Los Angeles.

When he first traveled through time, Luke felt separated and desperately wanted to contact his relatives and friends back home.

However, due to professional sensitivity, Luke knew that he could not do this. He tried hard to restrain this strong desire and learn about the situation in China through other channels.

This is a parallel world. Although it is also 2022, there has been no epidemic here, and he can no longer go back.

Try to accept your new identity, but adapting to life abroad is not as easy as imagined.

Unknowingly, it has been half a month...

"Buzz..."

A voice suddenly sounded in Luke's head, [Host matching is successful, the detective system is activated... The first trial will reward an 'adventure card'.]

"What the hell?"

Luke thought he was hearing hallucinations, and then an options menu appeared in his mind, and a warehouse interface appeared on the left.

Luke patted his head and took a big sip of milk tea. The interface in his mind still existed.

Luke soon calmed down. Although it was a bit incredible, it was nothing compared to time travel.

Rule out the possibility of mental problems.

Luke's first consideration is whether this so-called 'detective system' will harm him?

Luke looked at himself and saw that there was no abnormality or discomfort. He had not found any harm to himself from the 'Detective System' for the time being.

What’s the use of studying the ‘Detective System’ next?

There is a card on the warehouse interface with the word "Qiyu" written on it, and there is a small line of comments below [Passive card, unknown function]

Luke thought in his mind, "System, what is the use of this card?"

no respond.

I asked several more times, but still no response.

It can only be understood based on the literal meaning - passively triggering some kind of adventure.

It sounds pretty good, but I wonder if I can make some money?

Suddenly, Luke suffered from an occupational disease.

There is a feeling of being 'peeped' by someone.

Luke came back to his senses and glanced around. There were not many customers in the store, and no suspicious figure was found outside the window.

"Could it be that I'm too worried..."

When a system suddenly comes into being, it is inevitable that you will be a little worried.

Luke calmed down. The system was invisible and intangible. As long as he didn't take the initiative to die, no one would be able to discover it.

I am a poor loser in Los Angeles. Apart from being handsome, I have nothing worthy of being looked at.

As for the Harley motorcycle, strictly speaking it still belongs to the bank.

The original owner bought the Harley with a loan of US$20,000. The down payment was US$4,000, the loan was US$16,000, and the interest on the loan was US$600 per year.

The monthly repayment is US$1,400.

Luke's current monthly salary is about US$6,500.

It stands to reason that his income is already high, but after tax, he actually received less than 5,000 yuan. In addition to motorcycle loans, he also had credit card loans and foreign debts.

After paying off my salary at the beginning of the month and paying off the car loan and credit card loan, I only have a few hundred dollars left for living expenses.

Luke just wants to make money and rent a house now.

I don’t want to live a life dependent on others anymore.

After get off work, lying on your own sofa watching TV series, drinking beer, and eating fried chicken is called life.

Now, he can only live this kind of life in his dreams.

I hope this card can bring you good luck.



Thursday morning, 8.58am.

Luke walked into the Robbery-Murder Department humming a tune.

With one more system, he is in a good mood.

David, a bald white man, looked over and Luke pointed his middle finger without waiting for him to speak.

David was not angry, "Congratulations, you won the prize."

"What do you mean?" Luke was wary. The 'Detective System' was exposed?

impossible.

That thing is invisible and intangible, so how can it be discovered?

David pointed to the captain's office, "Queen Susan summons you."

"It's a childish trick. I won't be stupid enough to fall into a trap." Luke just breathed a sigh of relief when he had a bad premonition.

"I conveyed it." David shrugged, as if you wanted to believe it or not, "Goodluck."



A few minutes later, Luke entered the captain's office.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

"Yes." Susan said with a cold face, pointing to the chair opposite and gesturing for Luke to sit down.

"What are your orders?"

Susan leaned forward and pressed her elbows on the table, "I haven't been transferred to the Robbery-Murder Division for a long time, and I can feel that you don't like me.

me too.

But I don’t want to bring that emotion to work.”

"You misunderstood, I never had this idea."

"Luke, your whole state has changed since you were injured last time. You refuse to work overtime, you are picky about performing tasks, and you are always absent-minded in meetings.

If you are unable to undertake your current job due to injury, I can help you apply for transfer to a more relaxed position."

A few days ago, Luke might not have cared about the transfer, but it was different now.

I just got the Detective System, and I haven’t figured out how this system is triggered yet, but judging from the name, the ‘Detective System’ may be related to the police profession.

He didn't know whether the job change would affect the 'Detective System'.

Even if it is for the detective system, I have to stay temporarily.

"My mentality did change after I was injured last time. I realized that my family is the most important and I want to spend more time with my family, so I don't want to work overtime.

I believe in my ability and can complete the work well without working overtime, and I will become an indispensable part of this team."

"I want to believe you.

But your current status and your colleagues' evaluation of you make me doubt this.

I hope to see your actions and changes. Otherwise, whether you are willing or not, I will help you apply for a transfer, do you understand?"

"Give me half a month and you will see my value in the team." Half a month is enough for Luke to understand the 'Detective System'.
