Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 403: Chapter 221: Upgraded Blue Owl Battle Suit, Gene Enhancer

Ke Mingye stared at the line of text projected before his eyes, nearly biting the chopstick in his mouth in half.

He was slightly stunned for a moment, thinking, “Dimensional Martial Arts Association, what’s that, a massive gathering stage for players?”

He had just finished a fight outside, his appetite wide open, and now, seeing the notification panel made his hunger vanish completely.

So, he sighed softly and casually took a small bowl to sit down at the edge of the dining table. Bowed his head, pretending to concentrate on the phone screen, his gaze fell upon the introduction on the panel.

[The basic rules for the first “Dimensional Martial Arts Association” are as follows.]

[This Martial Arts Association will be held within a Different Space that is independent of the real world. During the Martial Arts Association, the passage of time inside the Different Space compared to the outside world will be 2:1, with the external world’s passage of time being slower.]

[Players need to consider if they have enough time to fully participate in a round of the Martial Arts Association on September 1.]

[Basic Rule 2: Players who successfully qualify for the Martial Arts Association can freely form teams with other players from around the world. The player team that battles to the end within the Martial Arts Association will enjoy the most generous rewards issued by the system.]

[Basic Rule 3: The Martial Arts Association takes place three times a year, with the first session being held in September this year, and the dates for the other two sessions are yet to be announced.]

[Full details of the other rules will be introduced by the system when the subsequent Martial Arts Association officially starts.]

[Time remaining until the “Dimensional Martial Arts Association” officially begins — “38 days”.]

“Give me a break, how am I supposed to handle this: I have school starting on September 1.”

Ke Mingye took the borscht passed to him by Bai Ziling, thinking.

“Looks like, on September 1, I’ll have to set up a Deception Puppet to take my place in school while I go participate in this Martial Arts Association. By then, there will also be a few Magic Girls transferring to the school, hope nothing goes wrong.”

“I mean, they call it a ‘Martial Arts Association’, but isn’t this just a world competition? Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be many players who can contend with me at this point, but I can’t use Deception Puppets or Magical Girl Transformation Cards, there are so many restrictions, just thinking about it is annoying. If it’s a team battle, I’ll just have to count on Ju Zipi and Fan Quan to carry the team.”

As he was thinking, a bubble popped up in the upper right corner of his field of vision in the player list.

[A new message received in the local player discussion group.]

Upon seeing this, Ke Mingye clicked into the discussion group.

[Fan Quan: You guys saw that notification about the ‘Dimensional Martial Arts Association’, right?]

[Ju Zipi: Received.]

[Failed Man: I’ve seen it, can’t avoid it.]

[Failed Man: That means on September 1, we might just meet players lurking all over the world, no need to go out of our way to find them.]

[Fan Quan: Logically, yes. I can’t think of any player who would miss this internal meeting unless they are a mole or someone dead set on going solo.]

At this, Ke Mingye suddenly remembered the red-haired girl in the wheelchair.

If Siteruo was still alive, she would probably be clapping her hands in joy at this invitation to the “Dimensional Martial Arts Association,” tapping the ground with her scepter and revealing a sly smile at the corners of her mouth.

Because participating in the Martial Arts Association would allow one to gather intel on other players. Someone as savvy as Gastella could directly win over the majority of players.

Then, when the time is right, she would strike at them one by one based on the information she held.

Fortunately, Gastella was already dead. But is it possible that among these hundred players, in addition to Gastella, there are other rebels?

These rebels could also possibly learn about other players through the Martial Arts Association.

Especially for Ke Mingye, once his identity is exposed, he would face an irreversible doom. What’s more, a bunch of family mainline tasks are still not over. It would be a great loss to flee as Spider Man right away.

Ke Mingye chewed on a piece of dark fatty pork, silently thinking while several new messages popped up in the discussion group interface.

[Cai Bing: If anything… if there are players who can’t show their faces, it must be our infamous player ‘Failed Man.’]

[Cai Bing: He won’t immediately become a target for everyone like a street rat at the Martial Arts Association, will he?]

[Fan Quan: It’s not impossible, I suggest we keep our distance from him initially and watch the situation.]

Ke Mingye twitched a corner of his eye and sent a message with his thoughts.

[Failed Man: So it’s every man for himself when disaster strikes? Can’t we demonstrate some team spirit, like “Spider Man we won’t abandon you. Even if other players come after you, we’ll stand against the whole world together”?]

[Cai Bing: Awkward.]

[Fan Quan: What do you mean every man for himself? You run, we don’t. The problem is with you, why drag us into it?]

[Failed Man: Ah, you guys are invincible, is this the warmth of human relationships?]

[Failed Man: Loneliness is a kind of desolation, and me… I’ve long been peerless under the heavens.]

[Paranoia: Hehe, wouldn’t you pay first before stealing Big Boss Paranoia’s lines?]

[Player “Failed Man” sent a “1 Mall Coin” red packet to player “Paranoia”.]

[Failed Man: To be honest, it’s quite unjust for me to be this infamous player. The real infamous player must be someone else.]

[Unclear Dream: Let me guess, every time we talk about this topic, someone’s going to start summoning Gastella again.]
