Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 120 Blue Owl, Making an Entrance (Part Two)

That scene was just too damn abstract...

Ke Mingye sighed, his head drooping as he pondered for two seconds.

"If I'm the only one in the family who can communicate with that Black Cat, it means I'm the only one who can utilize its superpowers. I can also avoid exposing it in front of dear old dad. Trading 5000 Mall Coins for the help of a B-level mutant cat and preventing some unnecessary risks, definitely not a bad deal."

[9: Floating Turret (C-grade Skill, price: 30,000 Mall Coins): Sets up a floating turret above your head that fires lasers, targeting the same enemy you are attacking.]

"Can't afford it, might as well get dropped by Meng. Ke Mingye's face was expressionless, "But since she already bought the pea shooter, she probably doesn't have spare cash."

[10: Safety Limits Off (E-grade Skill, price: 5100 Mall Coins): Temporarily removes the body's safety constraints (limits of strength set to prevent damage to oneself), activating the body's extreme power, and enhancing physical fitness attributes.]

Ke Mingye's eyes lit up slightly upon seeing this, thinking to himself that it seemed quite in line with his envisioned brawler male route.

Eventually, after considering the ten skills for a few seconds and taking into account his own budget of just 20,000 Mall Coins, he reluctantly gave up on Pillow Fight, and instead sought to acquire "Solar Punch," "Safety Limits Off," and "Animal Communication Skill."

But the total cost for these three skills was 21,000 Mall Coins.

On him, there were only 20,700 Mall Coins.

The difference of those 300 Mall Coins was like the final cut in a Pinduoduo deal, making his skin itch.

With no other choice, Ke Mingye reluctantly opened the daily mission bar, which had been neglected for a whole day.

Upon looking, there lay a solitary daily running mission, showing the status "Not Completed"—due to going to Wanxiang City with his family, he hadn't gone for his morning run.

But the reward roulette might not necessarily yield Mall Coins, and there was even a chance to get "Thank You for Participating."

So, he flipped through his inventory to see if there was any equipment or items he could sell for a low price, and finally, his gaze settled on "Mutated Fish Crystal."

[Item Name: Mutated Fish Crystal]

[Item Grade: Unknown]

[Item Source: Instance No. 7—Crazy Train Station.]

[Item Introduction: If you're not afraid to die, swallow it and see. Something incredible might happen.]

[Judgement: This item can be taken out of the instance and exchanged for Mall Coins in the mall.]

Ke Mingye poked the Mutated Fish Crystal, then clicked on the pop-up "Sell" option.

[You have sold an item—"Mutated Fish Crystal," in the Mall, receiving an income of 2000 Mall Coins.]

[Your total Mall Coins balance is: 22,700]

"No way, is this thing really worth this much?" Ke Mingye was shocked.

Surprised as he was, he didn't waste a moment to mourn the passing of the Mutated Fish Crystal, but quickly opened the skills sales page and quickly purchased the three desired skills.

[Thank you for your patronage, you have purchased D-grade Skill—"Solar Punch," E-grade Skill—"Safety Limits Off," and E-grade Skill—"Animal Communication Skill."]

[Your total mall shopping has cost "21,000" Mall Coins, your current balance is "1,700" Mall Coins.]

["Solar Punch," "Safety Limits Off," and "Animal Communication Skill" are now equipped in your seventh, eighth, and ninth skill slots respectively, currently leaving one empty skill slot.]

"Skill slots are nearly full, when I afford higher-level skills later on, I'll have to swap out these transitional skills."

Ke Mingye reveled for a moment in front of his full slots, thinking to himself.

At that moment, he was still reeling in the pleasure of excessive spending, as if he had cleared out the shopping cart on Taobao all at once.

More exhilarating than finally getting relief from constipation that lasted a week.

It wasn't until he closed the skill slots that he saw two bubbles popping up in the top right corner of his view.

Clicking the bubbles, two chat panels popped up, with Fan Quan's chat at the forefront.

[Fan Quan: The time is set, the day after tomorrow, we're heading to Tokyo to hit two instances.]

[Fan Quan: The instances suitable for our level in Huanjing are all on the outskirts of North District, it takes at least half a day to get there, your puppet can't last that long.]

[Failed Man: Why don't you guys go hit them yourselves?]

[Fan Quan: Team play.]

Ke Mingye just laughed to himself, thinking I've already leveled up to 12, it's about to turn into a solo play game.

Realistically, though, it was unrealistic to think he could wipe out the superhumans alone, so team play was still necessary.

[Failed Man: So team-oriented, bro, I'm moved to tears.]

[Fan Quan: Well actually, I lied to you. These past two weeks, while you were away, we already hit the instances you weren't able to get to.]

[Fan Quan: By the way, we've all reached around level 10 on average.]

[Failed Man: Come on bro, where's your team spirit?]

[Fan Quan: No choice, who told you to be the only one unable to leave? I suggest you reflect on yourself; can't always disrupt our development rhythm because of you.]

[Failed Man: Fine, see you the day after tomorrow, let's bring a little supermodel shock to the Japanese players in Tokyo.]

Ke Mingye closed the chat panel, feeling quite disdainful in his heart.

He thought, I have my own ways to progress, isn't picking up the kills behind my brothers and sisters much better than exhausting myself in those minor instances?
