Superman Termination Manual

"Okay, okay, okay, you two siblings keep me out of the loop, huh? Well, you just carry on by yourselves; I've already got my node reward anyway."

After having dinner, Ke Mingye grumbled about Ke Yinzhi and Bai Qiuwu inwardly as he made his way back to his room.

As the Deception Puppet's head got swept towards the edge of the overpass by Black Wukong, the second perspective in his mind vanished, and his brain instantly felt a lot lighter, as if he had turned off a program that was hogging a high percentage of his CPU.

He lay down on his bed, played with his phone, and checked the rewards for completing the node objective.

[Congratulations, you have completed the first node objective of the main quest "Myth Terminator"—approach "Diviner Black Wukong" under a disguised identity.]

[The next target node for this main quest is: Find other Divine Communicators in the world through "Diviner Black Wukong," and kill them by any means necessary.]

[Node reward received: 2000 Experience Points, 8 attribute points, and 2000 Mall Coins.]

[Congratulations, you have completed the first node objective of the main quest "Heretics' Burial Day"—approach the Anomaly Control Bureau's S-ranked Executor "Black Judge" under a disguised identity.]

[The next target node for this main quest is: Collaborate with the "Black Judge" to kill other S-ranked Executors from the Management Bureau.]

[Node reward received: 2000 Experience Points, 8 attribute points, and 2000 Mall Coins.]

Ke Mingye suddenly raised an eyebrow, thinking why his brother's main quest style was different from the other family members, why would it be "collaborate with Black Judge to kill other Executors of the Management Bureau"?

"Is there something wrong with this thing?"

He muttered to himself but didn't dwell on it and continued to click confirm on the panel, collecting his node rewards.

[Total rewards acquired: 4000 Experience Points, 16 attribute points, and 4000 Mall Coins.]

[Your level has been raised to Lv.5 (2000/2500 points), and you have received 1 attribute point as a leveling reward.]

[You have a total of 17 idle attribute points. Please allocate them promptly.]

Without much thought, Ke Mingye added all the attribute points to "Physical fitness." It was best to stack up physical fitness at the early stage, otherwise, getting one-shotted by someone before you can even fight back would be pointless.

[Notice: "17 attribute points" have been allocated to the "Physical fitness" attribute.]

[Current player attributes are as follows—Physical fitness: 36 points; neurological reaction: 9 points; mental strength: 10 points]

[Congratulations, your "Physical fitness" attribute has successfully broken through the "standard for a normal adult" (20 points).]

[Congratulations, your "Physical fitness" attribute has successfully broken through the "minimum standard for F-rank Superhumans" (30 points).]

The pleasing notification tone sounded in his ears a satisfying two times.

Ke Mingye instantly felt the thrill similar to a protagonist of a fantasy novel crossing two realms at once; however, he still needed to raise one of his attributes to 60 points to completely exit the category of F-rank Superhuman.

He clenched his slightly warm fingers, feeling just like the descriptions in those ubiquitous fantasy novels: "Strength was surging forth inexhaustibly."

Calculating with his fingers, Ke Mingye thought: "F, E, D, C, B, A—looks like I need to cross five realms to reach the average level of my family... But at least I'm now a low-level F-rank Superhuman. If I roll the dice of catastrophe well enough, it might not be a problem to take down one or two Superhumans who are above my rank."

As he was thinking, Bai Wenna's voice came from downstairs, "Why hasn't your big brother come back yet? Mingye, give him a call!"

"Can't someone else make the call?" Ke Mingye opened the door and yelled downstairs.

"Everyone else went out for a walk. Who's going to call if you don't? Your brother has changed his phone, I don't know his new number, are you trying to kill me with worry?"

"I'm calling, I'm calling, you just take a breather, Ma."

Ke Mingye quickly conceded, thinking that he couldn't afford to provoke this tigress from another planet. He then closed his room door, pulled up the contacts on his phone, and dialed his older brother's number directly.

"Miss me?" Ke Yinzhi asked right off the bat.

If you don't know, just ask—who the hell just chopped off my hand and head, and you think I miss you? Not cursing you to get hit by a car as soon as you step outside is already merciful.

Mingye cursed Yinzhi twice in his heart but said aloud, "Miss you my ass, Mom's cooked meal is getting cold, can you hurry up and roll back home?"

"Alright, alright, I'm coming back, hanging up now," Yinzhi replied and ended the call.

Mingye sighed, thinking to himself that it would be great if everyone were as friendly with masks on as they were normally.

He used his thoughts to click on the knapsack panel and began checking out the spoils of the day.

[Mall Coins held: 7860]

[Knapsack slot one: Spiderweb Shooter]

[Knapsack slot two: One "Grade E Equipment" Lottery Ticket]

[Knapsack slot three: One-time summon card—"Self-destructing Zombie"]

Before his puppet's head got blown off, he quickly stowed the Spiderweb Shooter back in the knapsack so as not to lose it along with the puppet.

The items in the next two slots were trophies won from defeating the Meiyijia zombie instance.

Mingye clicked on the "Grade E Equipment Lottery Ticket" in the second slot of the knapsack, and the introduction panel popped up [Introduction: Use to receive a random piece of Grade E weapon or Grade E item].

Without overthinking it, he clicked on use.

[Draw complete, congratulations, you have received a Grade E Item Card—"Magical Girl Transformation Experience Card"].

Mingye's eye twitched, thinking to himself that some nuisances never go away, huh? I managed to dodge you in this morning's daily draw, and now, the evening's lottery ticket still finds a way to bring you back?

"This must be fate," Mingye muttered as he clicked confirm and pocketed the experience card in his knapsack.

He closed the knapsack panel and, using his thoughts, clicked over to the mall's Skill Exclusives page, not forgetting to scroll through short videos on his phone, getting better at his acting by the day.

Mingye confirmed the levels and prices of these ten skills and considered quietly in his mind.

"I have 7860 Mall Coins on hand. So the question is, which skill should I choose... or should I wait until after midnight for the page to refresh and check out other skills."
