Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 404: Chapter 221: Upgraded Blue Owl Battle Suit, Gene Enhancer_2

[Unlucky Man: “Damn, don’t even mention that name in front of me. I almost died because of her. How could I possibly summon her spirit?”]

[Paranoid: “Gastella refuses to acknowledge Lord Paranoid’s handsomeness, actually thinking that Black Judge is better-looking than Lord Paranoid. I think she’s a player without value for collaboration…hmpf, better off dead.”]

Ke Mingye chuckled dryly and closed the panel.

Under Bai Wenna’s deadly stare, he reluctantly put down his phone, obediently finished his lunch, then walked into the living room and lazily sat down on the sofa.

He turned on the TV with the remote and unfolded the dungeon atlas, checking the card he got this morning in instance number 4 on the Huanjing page.

[Card Name: Pac-Man]

[Card Serial Number: NO.004]

[Card Source: Defeating Huanjing No. 4 instance—”Pac-Man Game.”]

[Card Effect: Players can sacrifice 10,000 Mall Coins to Pac-Man to exchange for a one-time use skill card “Pixel Body” (maximum exchange times: 1).]

“Is it too expensive? A one-time lifesaving card priced like a robbery.”

Ke Mingye secretly clicked his tongue, perhaps one day, when his life was at stake and he just happened to have ten thousand gold coins, he could exchange them for this “Pixel Body” and try to slip through the danger.

While sitting on the sofa, he was suddenly pulled by Bai Qiuwu to sit at the living room table, claiming it was to help him preview sophomore year homework.

She would be a senior next year, Ke Mingye would be a sophomore, by helping him preview, she also reviewed the sophomore curriculum herself.

Mainly, it was to put on an act so that Bai Wenna wouldn’t nag them about playing all day long.

The fan in front of them turned slowly, Ke Mingye propping his chin with one hand, the other hand endlessly clicking the top of the ballpoint pen, making the pen nib pop out and retract.

Accompanied by “click-clack,” “click-clack” sounds, time quietly passed.

Bai Qiuwu glanced at him sideways, bit irritated, “Can you concentrate a bit more? Superheroes don’t need to study now?”

“I heard Qing Ya dropped out at 17, superheroes generally have low education levels, the internet even jokes that ‘a superhero squad couldn’t put together a single diploma.'”

“Qing Ya is Qing Ya, can’t you just follow in the footsteps of your two older brothers, or Dad…”

As she spoke, Bai Qiuwu lowered her voice, leaned close to Ke Mingye’s ear, “Dad also attended a prestigious university. If you really want his permission to become a superhero on the up and up, shouldn’t you at least keep up with your studies?”

Ke Mingye whispered, “Are you trying to coddle a child? If I really told dad, no matter whether my studies have fallen behind or not, he would definitely not allow me to be a superhero, just you wait and see.”

“Oh… So sister’s opinion doesn’t count?”

Bai Qiuwu said, lifting her eyes from the exam papers, glancing carelessly at Ke Mingye.

After a moment, she suddenly lowered her eyes, softly said, “I might not be with you for much longer.”

“What do you mean?” Ke Mingye was taken aback.

Bai Qiuwu also paused slightly, thought for a while about how to justify her casually spoken words, then said, “When you’re in your senior year, I’ll have to go to university. By then I’ll be in another city, so I can’t help you with your lessons anymore, I won’t be able to annoy you even if I wanted to, understand…?”

Ke Mingye was silent for a while, then sighed softly, “Alright, then I’ll focus a bit more.”

“What about the words you were supposed to memorize this morning? Where did you get to?”

“Abandon.”

“You…”

As they spoke, the clock on the wall had unknowingly moved to half past one in the afternoon.

Ke Mingye stretched lazily, got up from the table, sat on the sofa, and played Street Fighter with Bai Zini for a while, then, as the clock struck two in the afternoon, he hurriedly put down the game controller and rushed out the door.

Sure enough, no sooner had he stepped out than a tag-along shouted, “Big bro—!” coming to meet him. But this time he didn’t deceive Bai Zini, simply stating he was going to the Superhero Association to collect merits, labor had been done, and he certainly shouldn’t work for free as that would make him a serf for the Association.

With that explanation, Bai Zini finally let him go, leaning on the doorframe watching him enter the elevator car, waving from the slowly closing elevator doors, mouthed silently.

“Be careful on your way.”

Before long, Ke Mingye had changed into his Blue Owl Battle Suit and headed to the Superhero Association, taking the elevator straight to the 45th floor.

The office door was as usual wide open, revealing the silent and diligent man working bent over at his desk — the Commander seemed to dislike closing his door when working, or perhaps he was certain of his arrival, hence the open door.

Blue Owl stepped inside, casually closed the door, and then a cordial voice reached his ears, “You’re here, I’ve placed your new ID card on the desk, help yourself.”

Hearing this, he silently walked over to the desk, found the black and blue ID card among various documents, held it in his palm, and looking closely, saw the photo and name on the ID card remained the same, only the hero level had been upgraded from E to D.

“Your official Superhero Association APP profile has also been updated. Along with the hero level increase, your salary also increases: the basic monthly salary for an E-level hero is 25,000, for a D-level hero it is 50,000, and more items in the Superhero Mall are now available for your shopping privilege. Of course, don’t get too excited early. The price is that the Association will assign you more challenging tasks in the future, but correspondingly the points you earn in these tasks will also be higher.”
