Chapter 002: Assault on Police, Lip Prints, Everything is Big

Whether it's a celebrity, a great writer, or a tech nouveau riche, it means that many high-quality girls will come rushing in, and he doesn't need to worry about his girlfriend.

Life winners don't need girlfriends at all. A bunch of women who are willing to be intimate female friends will do most of their girlfriends' work.

But... Detective System? The first task is to become a formal police officer?

This simply made him collapse.

Because Robert is a local police officer in a US town, and he is also Shelf from the small town of Shackford.

Well, that doesn't mean Robert's last name is Shelf.

Sheriff is the sheriff of the small town.

This kind of small town police is actually slightly different from the PD in big cities. They are also called security guards and belong to private police hired by the townspeople themselves.

As a relative who has lived with Robert for more than ten years, Lu Ke is very clear about the income of the small town police.

Robert's annual salary is only 54,000 US dollars, and this is before taxes. He is still the sheriff, and the lowest annual salary for ordinary police officers in the small town is only 32,000.

Even Robert's salary seems a bit tight to support his family.

Fortunately, the tax burden in Texas is the lowest in the United States, and the cost of living is relatively low. Catherine also has a teacher's salary, so Robert's family does not have to struggle to make ends meet.

Now, this broken system actually wants Lu Ke to become a police officer. Isn't this a scam?

Since it's a detective system, why can't he become a private detective?

If you do well like that, it's possible to earn tens or even millions of yuan a year. With the help of the system, you may become wealthy.

What's the future of being a police officer? The leader of the New York Police Department only earns a little over 100,000 yuan a year.

Of course, the real way for high-level executives to make money is not through salary. After retirement, they can easily earn tens or even millions of yuan a year by participating in speeches, publishing books, and lobbying. This is allowed by law.

Ke Lu Ke is only 18 years old this year, retiring in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Moreover, they are already in their seventies or eighties and only started to have money. What is there to look forward to in this life?

What's even more annoying is that Lu Ke almost quarreled with Robert three days ago because of work.

Because... Robert wanted him to become a police officer at the small town police station after graduating from high school, but Lu Ke decisively refused.

His goal is to become a wealthy person.

With the system in place, even if it needs to be activated after reaching adulthood, according to US law, being 21 years old is definitely considered adulthood, and one can buy alcohol at will. Can it not be considered adulthood?

Lu Ke will wait for another three years at most.

But he didn't expect that after waiting for three days, the system would activate and he would have to become a police officer.

This is... a sin!

Lu Ke silently shed tears in his heart.

He wasn't in a hurry.

Although Robert is not his father, his relationship with his biological father is not much different.

He wants to change his mind and agree to become a police officer. Robert will mock him at most, but in the end, he will still help him.

Robert, a traditional Texan who served in the army, worked as a rancher, and finally became a police officer, is such a straightforward and rough man.

Lu Ke lay on the sickbed with extremely complicated emotions, lost in thought, and unknowingly fell asleep again.

After a long time, I heard a shout in my ear: 'Luke, wake up.'

Lu Ke mumbled in a daze, 'No, Claire, let me sleep a little longer. The school is on vacation.'

The shouting indeed stopped.

After a moment, a slightly hoarse voice sounded: 'Robert, Luke should be fine now, but he lazes in bed and I can't wake him up. Oh, will you come over later? Hmm, okay, I still have to go camping with Sally and the others. Whether you come or not in an hour, I will leave.'

Then, there were constant rustling sounds in the room, as if someone was busy with something.

An hour later, a fragrant breeze came, and two warm lips kissed Lu Ke's cheek: "Luke, sweet dreams, Robert is coming, I'll leave first."

Lu Ke muttered discontentedly twice, turned over and continued sleeping.

The female voice chuckled a few times and then walked out of the ward.

Lu Ke fell asleep again.

In the dream, he played RPG with one hand and Gatling with blue fire with the other, fighting countless aliens to flee in embarrassment. He laughed proudly and said, "I am a super police officer! Who else?"

Then, he suddenly felt the whole world shaking, like a magnitude ten earthquake, and the surrounding houses began to tilt and collapse, smashing towards him.

Lu Ke let out a scream and sat up abruptly.

Bang!

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

After a muffled sound, Lu Ke fell down again in the ward with dizziness and blurred vision. Robert expressionlessly withdrew his hands that were shaking Lu Ke's shoulders and touched his forehead, which was in pain from being hit. "Very good, it seems that you are very energetic and dared to attack the police early in the morning."

Lu Ke slowly regained his strength, but still rubbed his forehead with a grimace and subconsciously mocked, "Robert, I am not a criminal, nor am I your subordinate, okay!"

After speaking, he suddenly stiffened.

It's over. I'm used to arguing with Robert. What should I do now?

The first task of the system is to become a formal police officer, and it is limited to one month.

Only Robert can make him a formal police officer in a month, because Robert is the sheriff of the town and the only sheriff.

Lu Kezhen became a police officer, so Robert is really his boss.

However, it seemed that because he was lying in the hospital bed now, Robert did not argue with him as usual, but asked, "How do you feel?"

Lu Ke: 'If we don't count what happened just now, then I think I'm fine, just a little hungry.'

Robert: 'Then I'll go buy you something to eat.' He turned around and was about to leave as he spoke.

Lu Ke quickly stopped him and said, 'No, I'm fine. Robert, take me home. I want to eat breakfast made by Catherine.'

Robert turned his head. "Are you sure there's no problem?"

Lu Ke: 'None of us are professionals. If I want to leave, I definitely need the doctor's approval.'

Robert thought so and went out to find a doctor.

The doctor came over and just asked a few casual questions, indicating that Lu Ke had no major problems and could be discharged.

However, before leaving, the doctor couldn't help but remind, 'Although your body is fine, there were no signs of concussion when you came in last night.'

Lu Ke helplessly put his hand on his forehead, where he had just hit Robert's big head hard and it did hurt a bit.

He could only nod helplessly and say, 'Understood, doctor. Thank you for your reminder.'

After a moment, Lu Ke and Robert got on the F150 and headed all the way to Shackford.

After driving for a while, Lu Ke couldn't help but speak up: 'Robert, I want to tell you something.'

Robert looked at the road and casually asked, 'Oh, what's up?'

Lu Ke: 'Hmm, after considering it for the past few days, I think what you said is very right.'

Robert: "Huh?" He turned his head to look at him blankly.

Lu Ke: 'So, I've decided to stay in town and become a police officer.'

Hualala!

A string of sand and gravel rubbed against each other, and the F150 on the road suddenly tilted, directly rushed down the road, and drove into the wasteland by the roadside.

After a few seconds, the car finally stopped.

Fortunately, the roadside here is only flat, and the F150 is not afraid of this slightly bumpy wasteland. There is no danger of the car flipping over.

Robert released the brake and looked at Lu Ke in shock, "You... still have a fever?"

Lu Ke rolled his eyes. He had a fever because the system was synchronizing with his brain last night, not because he was mentally retarded. "No, didn't you listen to the doctor's temperature just now?"

Robert: 'Then why did you change your mind? Didn't you say that you would never stay here as a police officer even if you were beaten to death? And you also said that being a small police officer would only lead to poverty?'

Lu Ke: "Hehe, tell me, who asked you to describe the police as if they were paid for nothing."

Robert stared and said, 'If you want to become a police officer in Knox City, you have to be busy. Police officers in big cities are even busier. But in our small town, you work as a police officer under my command. Do you think it's very tiring?'

Lu Ke nodded helplessly and admitted defeat: 'Okay, I admit that I was wrong about this, Robert. You are the boss. So, am I not ready to listen to your opinion?'

Robert stared at him for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and slapped him on the shoulder. "Haha, you finally gave up once! Luke, remember, you gave up this time."

Lu Ke: 'Haha, as long as you're happy, please feel free.'

Then, the F150 drove onto the road again and sped all the way home, with only Robert occasionally laughing on the way.

After arriving home, Lu Ke was too lazy to wait for Robert and went straight into the house: 'Catherine, I'm back.'

A little head poked out from the living room: 'Hey, Luke, are you better?'

Lu Ke walked over and patted the little head, "Okay. Joseph, what are you doing? Oh, you're in trouble, secretly playing games."

The owner of the little head pouted and said, 'Catherine agreed to let me play for an hour. Besides, you're not Claire, you won't tell on me.'

Lu Ke shrugged and said, 'Okay then, I won't complain, but since you promised Catherine, you have to rest on time.'

Joseph was a little dissatisfied, but still nodded and said, "I understand, I'm being verbose." Then he sat back on the floor and continued playing games in front of the TV.

At this moment, Catherine walked out of the kitchen and looked at Lu Ke with concern.

Lu Ke walked up and hugged her, "I'm fine now, but I'm really hungry. Is breakfast ready? Catherine."

Catherine was particularly worried and looked at Robert who had just entered the door.

Robert and she have a telepathic connection: 'No problem, I asked the doctor.'

Catherine smiled and said, "That's good, come over quickly, I'm ready for breakfast."

Turning her head, she couldn't help but smile and pointed at Lu Ke's face: "However, during breakfast, I wanted to know which young nurse you went to flirt with again."

Lu Ke was puzzled. After entering the restaurant, he finally saw a bright red thing on his cheek from the shiny stainless steel tableware.

He carefully looked at it and found that it was a bright red lipstick mark, and was speechless.

He came home from the hospital and met many people, many of whom smiled at him.

He didn't care before. In a small place like Shackford, everyone's attitude towards each other is relatively friendly. At most, he is a little handsome, and others are willing to smile at him.

Now I understand, with the bright lipstick on his cheeks in the early morning, what else would everyone think of?

Those eyes obviously mean "youth is great".

He didn't rush to wipe off the lipstick mark. Instead, he carefully looked at it for a moment and then played back the memories from yesterday to today.

Robert over there also looked at him with a teasing expression: 'What? Do you remember which nurse it is?'

Lu Ke's expression was subtle: 'I seem to remember that two days ago, Claire and her colleagues bought a lipstick specifically for the high school graduation dance.'

Robert is a police officer and a sheriff, and he almost instantly understood the meaning.

Taking another look at the lip print, I suddenly felt a black line all over my head: 'This crazy girl!'

Lu Ke shrugged his shoulders, pulled out a tissue, and wiped off the lip print in two or three strokes.

Catherine also brought his breakfast over.

However, only Lu Ke's.

Robert had eaten before going to work. He just went to pick up Lu Ke during work hours. Anyway, this place is small, so he just came out to patrol.

Catherine accompanied Joseph to eat. Children need to eat on time and cannot wait until now.

Lu Ke took out the heated milk from the microwave and poured it into the cereal before saying, "Hmm, I'm going to start."

Catherine smiled and nodded, 'Hmm, do you remember that nurse?'

Lu Ke remained calm and had already taken a can of Dr. from the fridge. Robert, who was drinking Pepper, let out a puff and spat out the carbonated drink in his mouth.

Fortunately, he sat diagonally opposite Lu Ke, and the drink he sprayed did not affect breakfast.

Lu Ke calmly picked up his breakfast and started eating a ham and lettuce toast.

There is a saying in Texas that everything is big.

For example, this toast in front of me has two slices of toast that are twice as thick as regular toast, with half the size of the cut surface. The one-centimeter thick ham slices inside are also very solid, with two slices of lettuce and Catherine's own pickled cucumber slices. The aroma of bread, meat, and sweet and sour vegetables are very appealing to Lu Ke.

Even in his previous life, Lu Ke liked to eat things like hamburgers and toast, not just for convenience, but because he really liked the taste.

Therefore, having lived in Texas for eighteen years in his life, Lu Ke did not have any discomfort.

Besides, there are many Chinese people living in Texas, especially in Houston and Fort Worth. It's not troublesome to occasionally have someone bring back some Chinese seasoning from there.

When it comes to eating, he gets along well with Texas.

A portion of toast with meat and vegetables is close to one catty. After a few bites, he finished his stomach and drank all the warm milk and oatmeal. Only then did he pat his stomach with satisfaction and say, "It feels so good. I was starving before coming back."

Over there, Robert had already lowered his voice and explained the origin of the lipstick mark to Catherine, making Catherine laugh.

Upon hearing Lu Ke's words, she was surprised: 'Robert didn't buy you a hamburger or something first.'

Lu Ke: 'That thing is not as delicious as the one you made, Catherine. I'd rather have Robert bring me back to eat.'
