Superman's End Manual

Bai Zini remained silent for a moment, her eyes filled with weariness. She slowly raised her eyes from her hair, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then gently took a step back.

"If I were a demon..."

Ke Mingye paused for a moment, swallowed hard, and thought to himself, "Hey, you're not really going to explode at me, are you?"

"Uh, what are you...?" he asked tentatively.

Bai Zini remained silent. One of them stood in the brightly lit sedan chair, while the other stood in the dimly lit stairwell.

After a long silence, the person in the hallway said softly, "Don't you remember when I was little I said I wanted to be a magical girl so I could protect you in the future?"

"remember."

Ke Mingye lowered his head silently, pondering the matter in his mind.

I remember that during elementary school, he was often gossiped about because of his adopted status. His classmates would call him a parasite and say he was a jinx to his parents. As a result, he would fight with people every day and often come home with a bruised and swollen face. One day, Bai Zini, who was in preschool at the time, hugged him with heartache, her eyes red from crying.

She cried and shouted that when she grew up she wanted to be a magical girl so that no one would bully her brother.

The children in the family were all laughing at her then.

Bai Qiuwu, in particular, tried to suppress her laughter by pressing her fist against her lips, but in the end, she couldn't help but laugh so hard that her shoulders trembled.

Only Ke Mingye was stunned for a long time at that time, and in the end he just patted her on the back.

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye suddenly paused, looked up at Bai Zini, and wondered if she really became a magical girl because of this.

“You were so silly back then.” He scratched his nose and said in a low voice, “Everyone was laughing at you. Your dad even filmed it and played it every year on your birthday. But then everyone forgot about it.”

"You're really going too far."

Bai Zini was furious. Her face flushed red, and she said irritably, "Back then, I just didn't want to see you get hurt."

"I've been fine all along, and I haven't been bullied since then. Maybe it's all thanks to you."

As he spoke, Ke Mingye released the open button on the elevator panel, stepped out of the elevator, took her hand, and pulled her into the car before the elevator doors closed.

The two figures passed through the closing gap as if they had passed through another world.

The elevator doors closed and ascended, while the car slowly descended amidst a buzzing sound.

Ke Mingye released her hand, picked up his phone, and glanced at the time.

“Let’s get home before 9:30, or Dad will start nagging us again. But we can go to the coffee shop and find my older brother, and use him as a shield. We can say he took us out to play.” He said with a smirk.

"Okay."

Don't be upset.

"I'm not unhappy anymore."

"That's good."

"I feel like you've changed a lot lately. You never really cared about me before."

Was I really that heartless before?

"No, it's just that you never say it, but I know it."

"That's okay."

Chapter 76 Skill Enhancement Card, Two Dolls

Late at night on June 21, Ke Mingye and Bai Zini walked along the lakeside path. The lake surface shimmered under the moonlight, reflecting the sliver of moon that appeared and disappeared among the clouds.

"Have you had enough shopping?"

"That's enough." Bai Zini turned to look at him and said irritably, "You look like you're about to fall asleep, I'm really afraid you'll fall asleep on the way."

Ke Mingye shrugged. "Then let's hurry up and find our eldest and second eldest brothers and shift the blame onto them, otherwise Mom will definitely scold us for coming home so late."

"You know best, brother. You must have done this a lot before."

"Otherwise, with Mom's personality, how would we survive?"

As he spoke, Ke Mingye suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what was the reward for the mission to kill the superhumans? I haven't claimed it yet."

So he opened the taskbar and glanced at the special task in the third slot.

Daily Task 3: Kill a Superhuman (Completed, Reward Not Claimed)

Ke Mingye clicked on the red special mission with his mind, and a reward notification popped up.

[Successfully claimed the reward for Daily Task 3. You have obtained the following two items: ① 1000 Shop Coins; ② 1 Skill Enhancement Card Synthesis Fragment.]

[Current number of Mall Coins held: 10260 → 11260]

"Wow, no wonder it's a special mission with only a few percent refresh rate; the rewards are so generous." Ke Mingye raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Skill enhancement card, what's that?"

He opened his inventory panel and checked the description of the fragment.

[Item Name: Skill Enhancement Card Synthesis Fragment]

[Item Description: Collect three Skill Enhancement Card fragments to obtain a "Skill Enhancement Card." Skill Enhancement Cards can be used to expand the functionality of your current skills or enhance their damage. (Note: Skill Enhancement Cards can only be used on C-rank and higher skills.)]

[Item Sources: ① There is a 2% chance this item will appear in the equipment and item section of the in-game store; ② There is a certain probability that this item can be obtained by completing special daily quests.]

Ke Mingye clicked on the special term 'Skill Enhancement Card' in the description, and an interface popped up.

Currently, in your skill bar, the only skill that qualifies for skill enhancement card usage is the B-rank skill "Deceptive Puppet".

When a skill enhancement card is used on "Deception Puppet", the skill will change as follows:

[① Allows you to summon two trick dolls simultaneously, but the second doll's attributes will only be 80% of the first doll's.]

[② The duration of the trickster doll has been increased from 3 hours to 6 hours.]

"Really? This is unbelievable...!"

Ke Mingye stared at the text on the introduction panel, his thoughts racing. It took him two or three seconds to realize that he had no reason not to get his hands on this skill enhancement card.

He could just create two clones, one as the supervillain "Strange Thing" and the other as the magical girl "Little Red Riding Hood." He could then casually impersonate a superhero. It would be enough to put on a stage play—with the three identities working together and supporting each other, would he still need to worry about his identity being exposed to his family?

Now he's invincible! One person can't beat Qingya, but three people together can't defeat him?

The only question is how to obtain this fragment... The in-game store and special missions? Those are just a matter of luck, the probability of which is too small, but it's not impossible.

"They said they were going to find my second brother and eldest brother, but where are they again?"

On the quiet lakeside path, Bai Zini turned her head and asked a question, interrupting Ke Mingye's thoughts.

Ke Mingye glanced down at his phone and replied, "My second brother sent me the location: Old Jingmai Cafe on Seventh Street."

Half an hour ago, on the second floor of Lao Jingmai Cafe.

Under the warm, orange light of the ceiling chandelier, two figures sat facing each other in a cubicle, sipping coffee and talking quietly.

"So...you didn't catch him?"

Ke Yinzhi raised her eyes and asked slowly, her tone revealing a hint of surprise.

After spotting a passerby secretly observing them on Fourth Street, he asked Ke Xiaomo to verify the person's identity, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

Ke Xiaomo shook her head and replied, "No, he escaped."

Ke Yinzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at him with surprise: "Uh... are you sure you didn't hold back?"

"No, I've done everything I can to find him."

Ke Yinzhi said with great interest, "Oh... there are actually people who can escape from you? Even I'm not very confident that I can get away from you. Who could it be?"

"Do you think it's possible that he's a player?"

"I've already said it, the players at this point shouldn't be that strong. At least, there's a high probability that no player can escape from you."

Ke Yinzhi shrugged as she spoke, then changed the subject, "In fact, even among the world's top superhumans, there are very few who can evade your tracking."

"That's what I thought too, but he just slipped away right under my nose..."

"That's certainly strange."

Ke Yinzhi took a sip of coffee, looked up and stared directly into his eyes, asking curiously, "Do you think the person we just encountered was a player?"

"Yes, but there was no assessment, just intuition..."

Ke Xiaomo nodded and said softly.

"I trust your intuition. From childhood to adulthood, your intuition has always been very accurate, it's quite mysterious."

“When I was practicing in the valley, my master once told me that I have spirituality, so I can often foresee things that others cannot,” Ke Xiaomo said. “So I always feel that the official level of attention to ‘players’ is still too low. Perhaps they are far more dangerous than we imagine.”

"It seems you share my opinion."

Ke Yinzhi chuckled softly and teased, "After all, it's said that a hundred people can wipe out the world's superhuman race, and that includes two American sweethearts who robbed a convenience store at gunpoint... If you were to consider this from the perspective of those battle-hardened old fogies, would you really take this seriously?"

"No, it does sound ridiculous..."

“That’s it. I couldn’t persuade those old-fashioned people either,” Ke Yinzhi shrugged. “They even said that since you think this matter is so important, you should find a way to find those hundred people as soon as possible.” He took a sip of coffee. “So I had no choice but to ask the Green Crow and the Tongmenghui for help.”

"This is so unlike you."

"Actually, I also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know them. In the past, I was always focused on fighting and killing and didn't care about these interpersonal relationships."
