Chapter 121 Blue Owl, Part ()
July 7th, at night, at the Bo Ke family’s residence.
After taking a shower, Ke Mingye picked up a towel and walked out of the bathroom, wiping his wet hair as he walked back to his room. He closed the door, then lay down on the back of the bed and reached out to pick up the phone next to his pillow.
After picking up the heads of the two Ninja Clan disciples in Wanxiang City, he not only jumped three levels, but also earned a huge sum of money.
And now... since I have nothing to do, it's time to digest this huge sum of money.
"Then here comes the question. I've never been this rich before. How am I going to spend 20,000 mall coins..."
As Ke Mingye thought about it, he looked at the shopping mall panel floating in front of him and flipped through the equipment and props sales page. There was nothing of particular interest, so he just skipped it.
"Just buy two skills. Anyway, I have an A-level equipment card and two C-level equipment cards. I should have no shortage of equipment. With so much junk in my bag, I can only use a rotten sea tactic."
With this in mind, he turned to the skill sales page again.
[Your total mall coins are: 20700]
【玩家当前的等级为Lv.12,技能专售页的刷新概率为——E级技能60%;D级技能20%;C级技能14%;B级技能6%;A级技能0%;S级技能0%】
"At what level can I get an A-level skill? B-level skills are so amazing. I'm really curious about how powerful an A-level skill is. It must be at least stronger than Bai Zini's ultimate move, right?"
Ke Mingye glanced at the skill refresh probability and thought to himself.
"Why not hold back and buy a C-level skill or a B-level skill? The average price of a B-level skill is 50,000, and a C-level skill is 30,000. So it seems that a C-level skill is more realistic."
He yawned and quickly dismissed the thought.
"Not so good... I have to use the identity of Blue Owl to show my presence in front of my father. Blue Owl is a melee fighter, and his ability is to exchange positions with a target. This way, I can naturally use the skill 'Phase Shift' on him."
"Then I have to add some low-level melee skills to make up for it, otherwise the combat power will be too weak. But there may not be enough high-level skills that meet the requirements later, so let's start with the low-level skills first."
Ke Mingye thought about it and looked down at the ten skills that were refreshed.
[①: Pillow War! (E-level skill, price: 5100 mall coins): Designate a target to temporarily turn your and your opponent's weapons into pillows for 5 seconds.]
"It looks stupid, but maybe it can really work wonders." Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows, "Let's put it aside for now. If you don't have any skills to use, then you can consider it."
[②: Two-handed Combat (E-level skill, price: 5000 mall coins): For a short period of time, your two hands are controlled by different combat consciousness, and you can perform a series of extremely difficult but coordinated movements.]
"My personality has already been torn apart. If I divide my consciousness between my left and right hands, the blue owl and the monster will definitely fight. Will my two hands pinch each other?"
Just by imagining the scene, Ke Mingye felt a chill down his spine.
[③: Ground Spikes (D-level skill, price: 11000 mall coins): Slap the ground with your right palm, and sharp ground spikes will form in a rectangular area in front of you. The higher the level, the sharper and longer the ground spikes will be.]
[④: Hell Echo (B-level skill, priced at 55000 mall coins): After you die, this passive skill will be automatically triggered, causing your body to revive as a zombie and gain 3 hours of action time.]
"What kind of a skill is this? Even though the person is dead, he still wants to release the last ripple to benefit his teammates. What kind of idiot would choose a skill that is meaningless to him..."
While Ke Mingye was complaining, he turned to the introduction of the next skill.
[⑤: Solar Punch (D-level skill, price: 10500 mall coins): After acquiring this skill, your fists will continuously absorb solar energy, with a maximum value of 100%. After using the skill, the stored solar energy will be released and converted into heat and kinetic energy - the more solar energy stored when releasing the skill, the higher the damage caused (the damage value of this skill will also depend on the "Physical Fitness" attribute). ]
"It feels good..." Ke Mingye pondered for two seconds. "If nothing goes wrong, this is it. Comrade Blue Owl is going for the melee style, so I need to improve my boxing skills."
[⑥: Slime Summoning (E-level skill, price: 5500 mall coins): Summon a slime to fight for you. ]
"That's enough. If it was a summoning of tentacle monsters, I would have taken another look at it. I could also create a pseudonym to replicate the Maple Syrup Commander training the magical girl. This year would not have been wasted."
[⑦: Night Walk (E-level skill, price: 5200 mall coins):]
"It's you again. I already have a night belt. You're really unfamiliar with me."
[⑧: Animal Communication (E-level skill, price: 5500 mall coins):]
"Another useless skill. It's better to leave it to Mr. Ding Zhen and his animal friends to enhance their relationship."
Ke Mingye was thinking about it and was about to scroll down the exclusive sales page when his finger pressing on the panel suddenly paused.
It seemed like I remembered something.
"Wait, wait, wait..." His eyes stopped at the Animal Communication skill, and he thought, "Now that I have a mutant cat at home, isn't it the perfect time to use this skill?"
He still remembered that last night, his elder sister brought back a dangerous B-level mutant cat and named it "Yuriko".
The key is that this cat can copy the superpowers of the superpowered.
To be honest, Ke Mingye was really worried that one day he would yawn and accidentally steal his father's supernatural power, and then suddenly turn into a crow to eat when everyone was eating.
That scene is so fucking abstract...
Ke Mingye sighed, lowered his head and thought for two seconds.
"If I am the only one in the family who can communicate with the black cat, then it means that I am the only one in the family who can use its superpowers and avoid exposing it to my father. Using 5000 mall coins to get the help of a B-level mutant cat can also prevent some unnecessary risks. It's definitely worth it."
[⑨: Floating Turret (C-level skill, price: 30000 mall coins): Set up a floating turret above your head. The turret will fire lasers and attack the same enemy as you. ]
"I can't afford it, it's better to be picked by Teacher Dameng." Ke Mingye had a deadpan expression, "But she already bought the Pea Shooter, so she probably doesn't have any spare money."
[⑩: Safety Restriction Release (E-level skill, price: 5100 mall coins): Remove the safety restriction of the body (the limit of strength set by the body to prevent harm to itself) for a short period of time, activate the limit strength in the body, and obtain the improvement of physical fitness attributes. ]
When Ke Mingye saw this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he thought that it was quite consistent with the melee macho route he had imagined.
Finally, he pondered over the ten skills for a few seconds, and considering that he only had 20,000 mall coins, he had to give up the pillow fight and instead sought the three skills of "Solar Punch", "Safety Restriction Removal", and "Animal Communication".
But these three skills require a total of 21000 mall coins.
But he only had 20700 mall coins on him.
The difference of 300 mall coins was like Pinduoduo's final blow, making him itch all over.
Ke Mingye had no choice but to open the daily task bar after being banished to the cold palace for a whole day.
Looking around, he saw a daily running task lying alone inside, with the status showing "Not Completed" - because he had to go to MixC with his family, he did not go running in the morning.
However, the reward wheel may not necessarily give out mall coins, it may even just say “Thank you for your patronage”.
So he had to look through his bag to see if there was any equipment or props that could be sold at a low price, and finally his eyes stopped on the "Alienated Fish Crystal".
[Item name: Alienated Fish Crystal]
[Item Level: Unknown]
[Source of props: Copy No. 7 - Crazy Train Station.]
[Item introduction: If you are not afraid of death, try swallowing it, maybe something wonderful will happen. ]
[Judgment: This item can be taken out of the dungeon and can be exchanged for mall coins in the mall. ]
Ke Mingye poked the mutated fish crystal, and then clicked the "Sell" option that popped up.
[You have sold the item "Alienated Fish Crystal" in the mall, and received 2000 mall coins.]
[Your total mall coins are: 22700]
"No way, is this thing so valuable?" Ke Mingye was shocked.
Although he was surprised, he actually did not mourn for the passing of the Alien Fish Crystal for a moment. Instead, he opened the skill sales page and quickly purchased the three skills he liked.
[Thank you for your patronage. You have purchased the D-level skill "Solar Punch", the E-level skill "Safety Restriction Removal", and the E-level skill "Animal Communication". ]
[This shopping purchase consumed a total of 21000 mall coins, and your current mall coin balance is 1700. ]
["Solar Punch", "Safety Restriction Removal", and "Animal Communication" have been loaded into your skill slots 7, 8, and 9 respectively. Currently, there is only one vacant skill slot left.]
"My skill bar is almost full. When I can afford advanced skills in the future, I will have to replace these transitional skills."
Ke Mingye was mesmerized by the full skill bar for a moment, thinking to himself.
At this moment, his body and mind are still filled with the pleasure brought by excessive consumption, just like opening Taobao and clearing out all the items in the shopping cart in one go.
It feels more refreshing than being relieved from constipation for a week.
It was not until he closed the skill bar that he saw two bubbles popping up in the upper right corner of his vision.
Click on the bubble and two chat panels pop up, the front one is Anti-Dog's chat panel.
[Anti-Dog: The time is set. It will be the day after tomorrow. We will go to Tokyo to fight two dungeons.] [Anti-Dog: The dungeons suitable for our level in the surrounding cities of Beijing are all on the edge of the northern city. It will take at least half a day to get there. Your puppet cannot last that long.]
[Failed Man: Then why don’t you just fight on your own? ]
【Anti-dog: A team game.】
Ke Mingye laughed at that time, thinking to himself, I've already developed to level 12, and this is still a team game, it's going to become a solo game soon.
However, it is indeed unrealistic to exterminate superhumans by one's own, and the team still needs to work as a team.
[The failed man: What a team, bro. I was moved to tears.]
[Anti-Dog: Okay, actually I lied to you. We have been playing those dungeons that you can't touch in the past two weeks while you were away.]
[Anti-Dog: By the way, our average level is around level 10. ]
[Failed Man: No, buddy, where is your team spirit? ]
[Anti-dog: There is nothing we can do. You are the only one here and cannot get away. I suggest you reflect on yourself. You cannot disrupt our development rhythm because of you.]
[Failed Man: Okay, see you the day after tomorrow, let’s go to Tokyo and give Japanese players a little supermodel shock.]
Ke Mingye closed the chat panel, feeling very disdainful.
He thought to himself that I have my own way of development. Isn't it nice to follow my brothers and sisters and pick up kills? It's better than you working hard to complete those small dungeons.
If there is any flaw, it is the lack of copy cards.
But most of the copy cards are useless, like the card effect of the pirate ship copy is - "Allows you to breathe under the sea for one minute."
Just as I closed the chat panel of Fanquan, the chat panel of Caibing popped up in front of me.
[Cai Bing: I sent you the information. This is an orphan I found for you in the resident archives. According to my investigation, she died of illness in a nearby mountain village a few days ago. I found her and buried her body, so you can replace her identity and join the Magical Girls Alliance at will.]
[Cai Bing: To be honest, I have done this much. As long as you control the details well, the chances of being discovered are low.]
[Failed Man: Hacker girl, you are too efficient. ]
【Cai Bing: Otherwise, who do you think I am?】
Ke Mingye flipped the panel, took a look at the file sent by Cai Bing, and memorized the face of the orphan girl who had passed away - this face would become the true appearance of the magical girl Little Red Riding Hood in the future.
At this time, he heard some noise coming from the first floor and thought that it must be his eldest and second brothers coming back.
At this moment, in the living room on the first floor.
At this moment, Bai Qiuwu was sitting on the sofa watching TV alone, with a lazy black cat lying next to him.
"What should I do... Yuriko?"
She lowered her eyes, murmured, and reached out to gently stroke the kitten's fur. The cat rubbed its head against her palm and meowed.
The doorbell suddenly rang, so she turned her head and saw Ke Yinzhi walking in with a shopping bag full of drinks. He opened the refrigerator and put the bag in the freezer while saying, "We're back."
"It's so slow." said Bai Qiuwu.
"Is Yongzhu awake?"
Ke Xiaomo walked into the living room, and the first thing he asked was to Bai Qiuwu in a low voice.
"He's awake and in his room." Bai Qiuwu said, and asked worriedly, "Second brother... you should be okay, right?"
Before Ke Xiaomo could answer, Ke Yinzhi put his right hand on his shoulder and replied, "It's okay, he just got a little scratched... Don't worry, those ninjas didn't attack your second brother and me."
When Ke Xiaomo was pressed like this, he lowered his head and hissed softly. He glanced at Ke Yinzhi unhappily, thinking, "Can you not use so much force?" Then he sighed and asked Bai Qiuwu.
"What about the rest?"
"Xiao Ling and Xiao Ni are in Yong Zhu's room, Ming Ye is in his own room." Bai Qiuwu replied.
"Then let's go to Yongzhu's room and have a meeting."
"Meeting?"
"Family meeting."
"Okay." Bai Qiuwu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should I call Mingye?"
"It's better not to call him. He won't know anything."
As Ke Yinzhi spoke, he casually picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of boiled water.
"Alright."
Bai Qiuwu nodded and responded in a low voice.
While the two were talking, Ke Mingye just happened to come down from upstairs.
He looked up from his phone at Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo, and said sarcastically, "Oh my god, you two are still alive? You haven't been seen for a whole day after such a big incident. You are simply invincible."
Ke Xiaomo shrugged and spoke.
"We had to cooperate with the police investigation, which delayed us for some time."
Ke Yinzhi put down the water cup, patted Ke Mingye on the shoulder, and walked past him. "I brought you a drink. I didn't buy the wrong one this time."
"Where's the drink?"
"In the refrigerator, on the third shelf."
After Ke Yinzhi finished speaking, he moved up to the second floor. Ke Xiaomo and Bai Qiuwu followed him up silently.
Ke Mingye was the only one left in the living room.
He opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice cola, then went upstairs, where he saw Ke Yinzhi and the others had gathered in Ke Yongzhu's room and closed the door.
Ke Mingye turned the doorknob and locked it. He suddenly felt unhappy, so he picked up his phone and sent a message to Bai Zini, saying that he only picked on the weak.
[Ke Mingye: Why are you sneaking around like that? You didn’t even take me with you. Are you human?]
[Bai Zini: I'm preparing a birthday surprise for you, don't eavesdrop! ]
[Ke Mingye: No, my buddy’s birthday is in January next year. If you want to find an excuse, can you find a more reliable one?]
[Bai Zini: Are you annoyed that I can’t prepare a few months in advance? ]
【Bai Zini: (Picture: Fierce panda expression pack)】
[Ke Mingye: OK, OK, I'm going out for a walk.]
Ke Mingye turned off his cell phone and walked downstairs while drinking an iced Coke.
"I'll exclude you if you want me to... Believe it or not, I'm going to put on my combat uniform and go out to hang out. Maybe you'll see the news of my death on TV tomorrow. I just want to ask you if you're surprised or not."
Ke Mingye walked out of the house with resentment in his heart, put on his sneakers, and took the elevator downstairs.
Then I walked along the abandoned train station in the old Jingmai district, entered the train station when no one was paying attention, and after a short walk, I arrived at the deep and quiet Platform 9.
He stopped in front of a dilapidated storage cabinet, opened the bottom cabinet, and found a bag.
He opened the bag and took out the Blue Owl uniform. The red and blue tones were still eye-catching even in the night. The moonlight fell on the bird's beak of the helmet, shining coldly, like a beautifully crafted hidden blade.
Ke Mingye did not rush to put on his combat uniform but stepped into the shadows and released a deceptive puppet.
Then he transformed the doll into his own appearance, and then made it wear the Blue Owl uniform.
It is tailor-made, the size is perfect, and it looks great when worn.
Soon, Blue Owl slowly walked out of the abandoned train station and climbed onto the roof from a ladder in an alley in the old Jingmai district. He ran between the eaves with extraordinary physical fitness and soon disappeared into the deep night.
Ke Mingye sat on a public chair on the platform and took out his cell phone from his windproof jacket.
"Let me see if there are any unlucky criminals tonight that I can catch and bring to the police station to claim credit. It would be best if they could be on the news... But they had better not be too strong, otherwise Comrade Blue Owl will have to retire right after his debut, and I will have to change my vest again."
There will be a wave of updates tomorrow, please give me your monthly votes!
