Superman's End Manual

"Yes."

Ke Xiaomo nodded: "Judging from his strength, he seems to be much stronger than that magical girl."

Bai Zini intended to play dumb and quietly sweep her own floor, acting as a stoic and strong magical girl.

Upon hearing this, she was so angry that her eyes trembled and her face immediately fell.

She straightened up, hugging the broom handle with both arms, turned to look at Ke Yinzhi, and said coldly, "It's fine if you don't like Ashes, and it's also acceptable to put one down and praise another. But that black monkey is the most annoying. You're not allowed to praise her, no matter who you praise!"

"Wow, you're the low-IQ internet troll that Big Brother was talking about, right? What did Black Wukong do to deserve this?"

Ke Mingye lowered his head, took a sip of cola, and felt indignant on behalf of Hei Wukong, who was celebrating his birthday.

Listening to the conversation between the three, Bai Qiuwu paused for two seconds, her lips still on the rim of her cup, and secretly glanced at Ke Yinzhi.

She wondered, why did my brother suddenly mention me? Could it be that he already knows my identity?

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

As she spoke, Ke Yinzhi smiled slightly and casually changed the subject: "So what exactly is this Blue Owl, and why is it being discussed so much lately?"

Ke Xiaomo was silent for two seconds. "There's nothing special about him. He's just a bit cheeky, and his image stands out among other superheroes, which is why he gets so much attention."

"I see," Ke Yinzhi replied casually.

Ke Mingye said, "I think it's better to like the blue owl than the jay."

Ke Yinzhi said, "Mingye, you're a bit short-sighted to try and use a character that attracts attention with a novel persona to try and take advantage of Qingya."

Ke Xiaomo sighed: "Brother, you really shouldn't brag about Qingya. Like father, like son."

Bai Zini shook her head and said seriously, "It's okay. No matter how upright you are, Third Brother won't be upright. The foundation is already crooked."

"Have you forgotten about me, your older sister?" Bai Qiuwu said, then changed the subject, putting Bai Zini in a difficult position, "Or am I not even considered a 'head beam'?"

"No, what I mean is that no matter how upright you are, you can't compare to Third Brother, who has an extremely crooked head."

Bai Zini explained, feeling wronged.

“Exactly,” Bai Ziling said as she drew, “Tilted head, ghost.”

"What does 'crooked-headed ghost' mean? You can insult me ​​all you want, but can you please stop making up these nonsensical terms?"

Ke Mingye casually made a sarcastic remark.

"Seriously, you guys are really mean. I was already terrified. If I had worn a mask at the beginning, we wouldn't have been able to have a birthday party. You might have ended up singing funeral songs for me in the hospital."

Bai Qiuwu picked up her cup, took a sip of lemonade, glanced at the clown mask on Ke Mingye's face, and said irritably.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Speaking of which, where did you buy this?"

"Ask a primary school student," Ke Mingye said.

"A toy store," Ke Yongzhu replied casually. "Someone asked me to buy some when I was buying firecrackers for you guys."

"Someone has so many clever ideas."

As Ke Mingye spoke, he put on a clown mask.

Then, he lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Hello, I am the super villainous elementary school student. I lurk in the Fifth Elementary School around Beijing, and my main target is bullying other elementary school students."

"Retarded."

Ke Yongzhu didn't even glance at him.

“Naive,” Bai Zini said.

Bai Ziling covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled almost inaudibly.

Bai Qiuwu, who was watching TV, suddenly paused and turned her head to look at Ke Mingye's profile.

For some reason, the tone of Ke Mingye's voice when he put on the mask and acted silly reminded her of someone:

—Strange thing.

"how come……"

Bai Qiuwu shook her head, thinking to herself, and moved her gaze away from Ke Mingye's masked right cheek.

Before long, with Bai Zini finishing tidying up the living room, the evening's party came to a complete end. At their mother's call, everyone went upstairs one by one to wash up and go to bed.

After washing up, Ke Mingye went back to his room, locked the door, and leaned back on the soft, newly made bed. He took a deep breath and put his right arm behind his head.

Nowadays, when he has nothing to do, he releases an extra doll. He has that doll stand by in a corner of the city with a spare mobile phone, responsible for communications.

Then, when the six-hour time limit is almost up, she transforms into a magical girl, closes her phone into a magic book, and finds a corner where no one will notice her to self-destruct.

Otherwise, with his second brother around, keeping the spare phone in his own hands could easily lead to trouble: even if he chats on the spare phone at home, there's a possibility his second brother could observe him.

However, there are many occasions where communication is needed, so in order to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances, a doll has to be placed outside.

"It seems there's no one I need to contact today. My eldest and second eldest brothers share information, so they know everything they need to know. My eldest sister knows too, so it's just my younger sister who's missing."

Ke Mingye was lost in thought when suddenly, he heard a "ding" sound in his ear.

He raised an eyebrow and quickly realized that the voice was not coming from his own ear, but from the ear of the doll that was wandering around the city.

The perspective shifts quickly, and at that moment, a QQ message is received on the spare phone in the puppet's hand.

Ke Mingye controlled the puppet to look down.

It was incredibly touching... After nearly 10 days, a user named "Not Ashes" with a profile picture of a "gothic penguin" finally replied to her QQ message.

[Not Ashes: Please, can you stop spamming?]

[Little Red Riding Hood: Please, senior, stop giving me the silent treatment!]

[Not Ashes: I haven't logged into QQ for only a few days, how did you send so many messages?]

[Little Red Riding Hood: I thought you were dead, senior. I was even planning to use your QQ account as a confessional. Senior, please give me a confessional space!]

[Not Ashes: Why Did I Die?]

[The Little Red Riding Hood: A double suicide. A forbidden love that is misunderstood, condemned by the world, and choosing death to prove one's loyalty—I often see these plots in comics and novels.]

[Not Ashes: I can't take it anymore! Can you please read less shoujo manga?]

[Little Red Riding Hood: Finally able to eat her fill, of course I want to expand my hobbies. So that's how it is. In the eyes of the older generation, a little girl who collects garbage can only collect garbage her whole life... This is the ugly face of the capitalist class, oppressing us poor little girls who live only to breathe and read comics.]

[Not Ashes: At least watch something normal!]

[The Little Red Match Girl: What's Normal? Will a Domineering CEO Fall in Love with Me?]

[Not Ashes: Forget it, chatting with you online is just torture.]

[Little Red Riding Hood: Doesn't it torment you offline? Is it because I'm too charming in real life?]

[Not Ashes: No, I can beat you up as soon as I see you in real life; I can only fume online.]

[The Little Red Match Girl: Seriously, my senior is so heartless. I was even planning to break into his house to check if he was alive or dead, but I never did.]

[Not Ashes: Thank goodness you didn't do that, or I would have been angry.]

[Little Red Riding Hood: Oh, by the way, let's meet at that elementary school tomorrow morning. I have something to discuss with my senior.]

[Not Ashes: What's wrong? Can't we talk about it on the phone?]

[Little Red Riding Hood: It's related to strange things.]

After sending the message, Ke Mingye instructed the doll to hide the phone inside the magic book, and then retrieved the doll using a series of standard procedures.

He then closed his eyes, and another night passed in silence.

The next morning.

Good morning, player. Today is July 21, 2028. There are 332 days left until the deadline for completing the ultimate mission, "Exterminate Superhumans."

The current number of surviving players worldwide is 94.

Ke Mingye opened his eyes with a slight tremor, his gaze quickly sweeping across the panel before skillfully clicking the cross.

He yawned as he got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, went downstairs, changed into his sneakers, and went for a run and did sit-ups. Before long, he had completed his daily routine.

Daily Task 1: Run 3000 meters (one chance to use the reward wheel) (Completed)

[Daily Task 2: Do 100 sit-ups (2 attribute points can be freely allocated) (Completed)]

[I have claimed the reward for Daily Task 2, "One Hundred Sit-ups," and received 2 attribute points that I can freely allocate.]

Ke Mingye walked out of the convenience store across from his house, tearing open the packaging of the buttered bread while raising his left index finger and allocating the two attribute points he had just obtained to "Mental Strength".

Your "Mental Strength" attribute has changed from 38 to 40 points (up 2 points)

[I have claimed the reward for Daily Task 1, "Run 3000 meters," and have been awarded one chance to spin the prize wheel.]

As the notification box disappeared, the reward wheel slowly unfolded before him. Text from six different areas came into view.

[I. 3000 Mall Coins; II. C-Grade Equipment Card; III. One Limited-Time Role-Playing Quest; IV. Dungeon Refresh Ticket; V. Travel Ticket; VI. 2000 Experience Points.]

Ke Mingye didn't look at it much and casually pressed the start button on the turntable. The pointer immediately started spinning rapidly and eventually stopped slowly above area 1.

[Congratulations! You have received the reward for Area 1: 3000 Mall Coins.]

The current total amount of in-game currency is 12100.

After completing his daily tasks, Ke Mingye rested on a bench before going home for breakfast.

Not long after, watching Bai Zini walk out of the house without saying a word, Ke Mingye leisurely returned to his room.
