Chapter 1767: Whoâs Uneducated? Little Hoe, and Lousy Day
While Luke was dealing with Haley and Agony in his inventory, Eddie finished bathing in the pond and munching on a live fish. He basically didnât waste any of Lukeâs time.
Eddie, who had a fever, was sent to the hospital by his ex-girlfriend, Anne.
She found Dr. Lewis, whom she had a good relationship with, to examine Eddie.
During the MRI, the tar monster Venom couldnât take the vibration and ran out of Eddieâs body.
Anne had gone to deal with the paperwork, while Dr. Lewis and his assistant were on the computer next door.
When they heard Eddie yell, they felt that something was wrong and opened the door to the room. Unfortunately, they didnât see the fleeing Venom.
Luke and the others watched the whole thing in HD via the drone feed.
Gold Nugget gloated. âHaha, that idiot Venom actually let his host get an MRI. Makes sense, this loser knows nothing.â
Hearing that, Luke and Selina both looked at the dog head in astonishment.
Youâre so old and you canât even do math â you still have the cheek to laugh at him?
Unfortunately, the dog head was too excited today to notice the disdain in the eyes of the two people next to it.
...
In the hospital, Dr. Lewis watched Eddie leave.
Of course, his gaze was fixed on Anne, who had left with him.
It wasnât until the seductive figure disappeared down the hallway that he returned to the MRI room. His assistant then said bitterly, âThere seems to be something wrong with the computer.â
Dr. Lewis was stunned. âWhat is it?â
The assistant said, âI donât know why, but it suddenly crashed just now. Then, when I restarted it, I noticed...â He hesitated.
Amused, Dr. Lewis said, âWhatâs wrong? If thereâs a problem, you should get someone to fix it. Do you need a break?â
His assistant said, âWell, itâs just that your friendâs test data is gone.â
Dr. Lewis: ...
Unconvinced, he and his assistant searched, but didnât find Eddieâs results, so Dr. Lewis took out his phone.
Before he could call Anne, however, he hesitated again. Would she think that he was doing this on purpose?
Thinking quickly, he suddenly had an idea: He would get Eddie to come in tomorrow or the day after for a follow-up.
That way, he could get in touch with Anne and also cover up the fact that he had lost the data.
Should he invite her to dinner? She had said a few days ago that she had broken up with Eddie. He should be more proactive. In his heart, a little hoe was already raised and poised to start digging, and Dr. Lewis smiled expectantly.
Was this an angry smile? The assistant was shocked. âDan, whatâs wrong? Itâs just some data lost. Iâll call maintenance right away...â
...
Outside the hospital, Luke, who had just used an Ant drone to alter the data on the hospitalâs computers, put away his phone. âLetâs go. Itâs been a long time since we had In-N-Out. Letâs eat to our heartsâ content today.â
Gold Nugget whined.
At the same time, they heard a voice in their earpieces. âI want to eat Iron Manâs cheeseburger.â
Selina rolled her eyes. âDo you want me to drive to Los Angeles and buy it now, Mr. Gold Nugget?â
The dog felt a chill run down its spine. Sensing that something was wrong from that tone, it immediately wagged its tail and shook its head. âNo, I was just saying everyone should eat together when we can. Hm, my treat.â
Selina said, âOkay, you said it. Weâll stop by Los Angeles on the way back. I want to buy 100 of them.â
Gold Nugget froze and whined.
Selina saw through the dog headâs dumb act. âOh, 100 each? That makes 500 in total.â
Gold Nuggetâs eyes widened. âHuh?â
Selina said, âWhat? 300 each? Three to ten, and ten to a hundred. Thatâs 1,000.â
Gold Nuggetâs eyes widened. Covering its head with its paws, it pleaded, âNo, donât recite multiplication at me again. Itâs too hard.â
Selina chuckled and gripped the dogâs head. âStill want to keep posing?â
The dog shook its head with difficulty to indicate that it wouldnât do it again.
Luke watched the show with a smile and felt it was right to give Gold Nuggetâs kind a chance.
If another idiot symbiote appeared, another temp member could be added to the PDD and the Justice League.
Now, he just hoped that Agony and Venom were both stupid yet smart enough to adapt to the situation. At the very least, they couldnât be much smarter than Gold Nugget.
This was unlikely, but everyone had to have dreams â who knew, they might come true.
So, he couldnât help but look benevolently at Gold Nugget.
May those two guys be as easy as you to fool.
...
Eddie got out of the car in front of his place and didnât ask Anne to see him off.
Watching her drive off, he was about to enter his building, when he remembered that he had already finished up all his food last night. He could only go to a Chinese mart not far away.
He opened the door and the lady boss greeted him. âHow are you, Eddie?â
âHello, Mrs. Chen.â Eddie was distracted. âItâs been a lousy day. Iâm just getting by.â
Mrs. Chen couldnât help but frown at the strange smell in the air.
Eddie hadnât showered since last night after sweating and taking a dunk in the pond. The smell... was indescribable.
Pushing up her black-rimmed glasses, Mrs. Chen couldnât help but shake her head. âYou really do look terrible.â
She wasnât stupid enough to add âyou smell like sh*t.â
Eddie smiled bitterly. âThanks for the reminder. You look radiant.â He then walked to the food section at the back.
A supermarketâs usual practice was never to place the essentials out front; most people would just leave after buying them.
It was the same for this mart.
When he was far from the counter, Mrs. Chenâs voice still rang out behind him. âDid you try the yoga I mentioned? It can help you relax.â
Eddie said, âNo, itâs useless.â
Mrs. Chen looked like she knew everything. âYou havenât tried it yet, how would you know?â
âThe yoga DVD your cousin gave me is in Chinese. Do I have to hire a Chinese teacher for yoga?â Eddie rolled his eyes and started throwing food into the basket without looking behind him.
âDing~â The doorbell rang, indicating that a new customer had come in. Eddie stopped talking and focused on picking out food.
He was really hungry now. He had been so hungry last night that he had even picked clean the rotten chicken in the trash can.
Thinking that, he couldnât help but retch again. He decided to secretly look for Dr. Lewis in a few days.
How could he live otherwise, rummaging through trash cans for food?!
At that moment, he heard someone talking at the cash register near the door. He subconsciously stuck his head out and frowned.
A hoodlum stood in front of the counter with an impatient expression. He pulled out a gun from his waist and pointed it at Mrs. Chen. âB*tch, do you want to die? Give it to me.â
Helpless, Mrs. Chen took out a wad of cash from the cash register and gave it to him.
The hoodlum had an arrogant look on his face, like a landlord collecting rent.
