Superman Termination Manual

The nine days had passed swiftly, and before Ke Mingye realized it, July 3rd had arrived.

Fan Quan had notified Ke Mingye the night before, asking him to come to the electronic game store on Yandai Commercial Street the next noon, to retrieve the battle suit designed based on his sketches.

After receiving the message, Ke Mingye lay awake in bed, tossing and turning through the night.

He thought to himself, "I, too, have a day to be a superhero…"

Of course, there was some debate about this in his mind.

But the conclusion he eventually reached was, "Who says a mediocre person can't be a superhero?"

When it's time to play the superhero, then think of wiping out the villains with undivided attention;

when it's time to play the super villain, then think of wiping out the superheroes with the same focus.

In this way, regardless of the side, Ke Mingye felt no inconsistency in promoting the task of "eradicating the superhuman species".

His goal had always been consistent, although playing dual roles for too long might lead to a split personality.

Ke Mingye stared at the blank ceiling, recalling the events that unfolded over these nine days.

Firstly, he spent most of his time completing only two daily tasks, and occasionally, just one.

The rewards from the spin included "5500 Mall Coins," "1500 Experience Points," "a piece of a godly disk," "a 30% off coupon for the mall."

Besides that, there was also a disappointing "thanks for participating."

Ke Mingye had completely slacked off, doing nothing except relying on the experience points from the spins, and successfully leveled up from Lv. 8 to Lv. 9.

Leveling up awarded him an attribute point, and along with the "daily tasks two" completed over these nine days, he accumulated a total of 8 attribute points.

Without exception, he allocated all of them to the "neurological reaction" attribute.

This was in preparation for the arrival of the Ninja Sect; faster reactions meant success, even if barely escaping a fatal blow.

[Your "neurological reaction" attribute has changed: 16 points → 24 points]

During this period, Fan Quan did not notify Ke Mingye about joining instances, as the nearby instances were too high-level, and the suitable ones were too far away, requiring travel to distant places inconvenient for everyone.

So, Fan Quan mentioned he had contacted Top Bull, and they might need to use the No.7 instance card to ride the train from the abandoned train station to Tokyo in a few days.

Then, they would cooperate with several Japanese players including Top Bull to tackle an instance of difficulty level 11, to avoid having too long a break from instance battles.

Included in this was Ju Zipi, the trainee Cowherd.

Moreover, it's worth mentioning that on June 25th, the day after the pirate ship instance battle,

Ke Mingye discovered an exhibition facility called the "Underground Dragon Palace" underneath the Hong Ge Amusement Park.

This place was once one of the most important exhibits of the Hong Ge Amusement Park, but as the park ceased operations, the Dragon Palace was abandoned and gradually faded from the public eye.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The Deception Puppet rode the cable car at the mine's entrance into the interior of the Dragon Palace, and upon looking up, saw an instance panel, red and black in color, floating at the entrance.

The color tone, distinct from other instances, highlighted the high difficulty of the instance.

[Instance name: Dragon Palace]

[Instance sequence number: Huanjing, NO.⑨⑨]

[Instance location: Hongge Commercial Street, underground of Hongge Amusement Park]

[Instance difficulty: A level (recommended for players between levels 60 and 90 to form teams to challenge)]

So, to level up the "Catastrophe Dice," Ke Mingye had been sending the Deception Puppet into this instance daily when unoccupied.

The puppet's exploration activities were as follows: roll a die, then get squashed by the monsters inside.

As a result, Ke Mingye didn't even find out what the boss of the instance looked like after six days,

since he was always turned into mush by the minor monsters at the mine path before he could reach the boss level.

Fortunately, this wasn't the main focus.

Since the dice-using task was completed, the rest was merely to satisfy some curiosity.

After all, it might be that before the people of Huanjing could level up enough to tackle this instance, they might have been wiped out by the Green Crow Group—especially under the premise of having such a peculiar character as "Paranoid."

And on this day, June 29.

Ke Youqing and Bai Wenna did as previously mentioned and went on their honeymoon to London, England.

Ke Mingye couldn't help but suspect that this trip was specially designed by Bai Wenna to avoid the Ninja Sect incident—because Ke Youqing was ostensibly under his wife's thumb; once Bai Wenna spoke up, he generally wouldn't refuse.

But it didn't matter, as long as Ke Yinzhi was still at home, the likelihood of Yongzhu surviving was close to eighty percent.

Their father and mother said they wouldn't be back until the 7th, so in these days, only seven children remained in the Bai Ke residence.

Their tasks were clearly divided: the eldest brother Ke Yinzhi was responsible for cooking; the second brother Xiao Mo took care of the household chores; Qiuwu, after finishing her tutoring classes, would look to see if there was anything she could help with. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

As for the others, it would be a blessing if they didn't cause trouble.

Ke Mingye was an exception; it wasn't that he didn't help, but he felt there was no need.

He estimated that as soon as his brothers were not at home, Xiao Mo would use his Ninja abilities to move around in the shadows. It wouldn't take long before he could get the residence spotlessly clean without much effort.

With this ability, he could work as a cleaning staff and complete at least a hundred tasks a day, earning more than the monthly salary provided by the Superhero Association by a significant margin, which was a decent career path.

Of course, that assumed Xiao Mo wouldn't die in the Ninja Sect extermination operation three days later… or that his spirit wouldn't break, driving him to live in seclusion deep in the mountains.

Time moved forward a couple of days to July 2, the day when the use count of the disaster dice reached its ninth, leaving only one more use before it would complete its evolution.

On the night of this day, Ke Mingye did not enter the "Dragon Palace" instance to throw the dice but had the Deception Puppet run up above the Huanjing Tower again.

As usual, he set off a round of ominous attack warnings with gongs and drums, scaring people away before throwing the dice.

Subsequently, as always, the Deception Puppet scurried off to a secret location, which was the abandoned Number 7 elevated bridge.

Just as he had expected, in not much time, Black Wukong arrived on the bridge riding the Somersault Cloud, finding the puppet hunched on the railing, playing Snake on a backup phone.

"Hey, it's been a week or two since we last met, miss me?"

The puppet asked without turning around.

Black Wukong took out his phone, typed, then lifted the screen towards him, "What are you up to, got a gambling itch?"

The puppet shook its head, "Wrong, isn't this our signal? I throw a dice at the Huanjing Tower, and then you come to meet me at the Number 7 elevated bridge."

Black Wukong walked down from the Somersault Cloud and sat beside him, gazing down at the brightly lit city from above the railing.

"What do you want from me?"

She spoke softly, removing the hood over her head, allowing her jet black, bright hair, like lead powder, to cascade down, elegantly fluttering in the night breeze, tinged by the city's neon lights.

"Just reminding you, there will be some incidents concerning your family on July 4th, the day after tomorrow."

"Family… Does it involve Bai Zini?"

"No no no, not our Miss Ash." The puppet continued denying, "I'm talking about 'Yongzhu,' that little brat from your family."

"Yongzhu?"

"Yes, you must stay by his side and protect him well."

He paused, adding in a haunting tone, "If it's you, even if you can't defeat those uninvited guests, you should at least be able to take him away using the Somersault Cloud."

"I don't understand what you mean." Black Wukong remained silent for a while, "Who would target him? He's just an ordinary kid."

"You don't need to understand, you just need to watch over him." The puppet said, "This is a reminder from your friend, you will naturally know the truth when the day comes."

"How can I be sure, you won't deceive…"

Before Black Wukong could finish, he was interrupted by the Deception Puppet.

"You are my only friend, how could I bear to harm you? Trust me… I'm not deceiving you, and I have no reason to."

After speaking, the Deception Puppet leaned forward, momentarily losing its support, and plunged from the elevated bridge, bursting open in mid-air.

Accompanied by mysterious laughter, its body transformed into a glorious burst of fireworks ascending into the sky.

Qiuwu sat on the railing, her eyes lowered as she watched this spectacle, then slowly reached up to remove her mask, taking a deep breath.

"July 4th, huh…" she thought, "Better keep an eye out."
