Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 407: Chapter 222: The Arrival of Two Uninvited Guests_2

He had previously read up on how to inject the Low-level Gene Enhancer on the Superhero Forum, so he took off his combat suit and injected the liquid into his right wrist.

The syringe pierced his skin, but there was no blood. Ke Mingye injected the contents of the syringe into his body in one go. The final sensation was similar to leveling up, as if there was a warm current burning inside him, but he won’t dwell on that too much.

Sleepiness crept over him as if he had a fever, and his brain started to heat up too. He leaned the back of his head against the chair, listening to the dripping of water on the lake surface from the bridge.

After a short while, he opened his eyes from the backrest.

[Your “Physical fitness” attribute has changed: 87 points→91 points (↑4 points)]

[Your “neurological reaction” attribute has changed: 51 points→55 points (↑4 points)]

“The effects are quite significant…”

Looking at the text on the panel, Ke Mingye touched his throbbing forehead and rested for a moment, then got up from the wooden chair and put on his combat suit again.

In the bridge cavern, he tested the new suit’s arm blades. With a “clang—!” a ring blade with a chilling gleam sprang from the edges of the suit’s arms, looking as imposing as Wolverine’s claws, but it’s hard to say whether they’d be as tough; they might just give way in a real fight.

Ke Mingye swung his arms, flailing the arm blades for a moment until he got the hang of how to control them.

By bending his arms significantly, he could adjust the width and length of the arm blades, and by pressing a button on the combat suit, the blades would immediately retract out of sight.

Bored, he bounced and hopped around the bridge cavern in his combat suit for a while. He could feel that this suit was noticeably lighter.

The suit must have been designed by the Superhero Association’s designers using lighter fiber materials, which visibly sped up the movements of the Blue Owl.

He no longer felt as restricted as before, as if he were carrying a load of scrap metal during weighted training.

Looking at it from various aspects, the Association really did put effort into upgrading his suit.

“Do you have ADHD or something?” Cai Bing asked offhandedly while taking apart her helmet.

“Isn’t it just that I’m bored waiting for you?” Ke Mingye said, yawning and sitting back down on the wooden chair, “Just trying out the improvements the Association made to this uniform.”

“How does it feel?”

“They’re somewhat conscientious.”

“To be honest, if it weren’t for maintaining the image of a rookie hero like you, we wouldn’t need the Superhero Association at all. Any old back-alley market could make you a similar suit. Don’t think too highly of those Association people, designing the combat suit is just a way for them to make more money off you.”

“What can I do, when I’m at the mercy of others.”

“True.” Cai Bing said and changed the topic, “Done. I’ve removed the tracker from inside it.” She put down her tools, “The Superhero Association likely wanted to use the new suit to figure out more about you. With Che Zhengchen protecting you, they wouldn’t dare confront you directly. But they probably didn’t expect you’d have someone remove the tracker from the helmet the moment you got it. They must be pretty pissed off right now.”

Having said that, she took a pair of metal tongs and removed a small metallic object from the helmet, casually throwing it into the lake where it sank beneath the surface, creating small ripples.

Then she reassembled the Blue Owl helmet, placing it back on the wooden chair, and picked up a device resembling a “metal detector,” turning to look at Ke Mingye.

“Strip.” Cai Bing said.

Ke Mingye was startled, “No touching between men and women, right? Even if you treat me like one of the guys, you can’t be so casual.”

“Just strip and be done with it, will you stop talking so much?”

“Alright then.”

Ke Mingye sighed and quickly stripped down to his boxer briefs, placing the combat suit on the wooden chair for the hacker woman to examine.

Cai Bing scanned his suit meticulously with the device and then said calmly, “There shouldn’t be any other trackers now, you can rest easy.”

“Okay.”

“Right, you won’t be able to use the helmet’s map positioning function anymore.” Cai Bing said, “But you don’t lack that kind of gadget. If you really need to locate someone, I can help you; you don’t need the Association for that.”

“True.”

Ke Mingye, experimenting, pressed the button on the helmet, and a blurry electronic map popped up on the visor’s surface, flickering with black and white static like a malfunctioning TV, rendering any landmark text indiscernible, indicating that what Cai Bing said was true.

“I’m off… Call me if you need anything else,” Cai Bing said leisurely, putting on the face mask she had in her pocket.

“Thanks for the help again, hacker girl.”

“No need to thank me, our customer service girls are like that.” Cai Bing said indifferently while fiddling with her phone, not looking back as she waved and left Pear Drop Bridge under Ke Mingye’s watchful eye.

…..

…..

A short while later, at a bar in Huanjing City.

Ke Mingye, using the Deception Puppet, arrived there, disguised as a plain-dressed and delicate-looking youth, and sat down at the bar.

Soon he saw a blonde, sunglass-wearing man in a bartender’s outfit approach, followed by a handsome young man in a similar outfit, wearing earrings and with a fresh, clean look out of place in a bar.

“You guys found work so quickly?”

Ke Mingye accepted the lemon water from Top Bull, looked up, and spoke to him and Ju Zipi.
