Chapter 157 Get B-level skills at % off!
Night, old Jingmai district, abandoned train station.

While controlling the trickster puppet in blue owl combat uniform to fight against the Qi'an cultists, Ke Mingye himself had nothing to do but hide in the empty abandoned train station, unable to go anywhere.

He sat on a wooden public bench, his hands resting on his thighs, his head tilted back and staring into the sky.

Listening to the incessant chirping of cicadas, after such a whole night, I could almost count the stars in the sky. It was so pleasant.

After the battle outside the church was over, he ran back and forth on the empty platform while controlling Blue Owl to interact with the superhero team.

Once you have reached enough system steps, do push-ups instead.

As the matter at Blue Owl came to a perfect conclusion, he also completed the daily task that he had put aside this morning.

It is worth mentioning that today's daily tasks are slightly different from the past: the rewarded attribute points have been increased from 1 to 2 - this is something that did not happen in the first half of the month.

"So, will there be quests that reward 2 attribute points occasionally, or... starting from today, will the reward for daily quest 2 always be attribute points?"

Ke Mingye stared at the words on the panel and thought so.

In fact, after a rational assessment, he felt that the former was more likely.

Otherwise, if you really get two attribute points steadily every day, in a year, the rewards you get from Daily Task 2 will be almost 700 attribute points.

If all these attribute points were added to "Physical Fitness", he would be at least an SS-level physical hunk. He would be transformed into a One Punch Man, able to break through all the skills with one strength, without any need for any skills, and even a nuclear bomb would not be able to break his defense...

I am a little afraid of mind control skills, so the mental power attribute cannot be lowered. Otherwise, if you are brainwashed, it will be the player who will suffer.

But even if there is only one attribute point per day, plus dungeons... tasks... all kinds of miscellaneous hidden rewards, in fact, if you can survive for a year and improve your strength step by step, then even the most ordinary players can at least get about 600 attribute points.

No matter which attribute it is added to, it can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack in this world.

What's more, the player's biggest advantage does not lie in the growth attributes, but in the diversity of ability mechanisms.

Strange equipment and a wide range of skills are advantages that those with special abilities can hardly achieve.

A psychic is equivalent to a player with only one skill. Even the most terrifying psychic has five powers at most, which is still less than half of a player.

Moreover, every skill of the player is self-selected, so since it is chosen, it has a certain practicality. Unlike the psychics, which are given by God, some of their abilities are completely useless.

If players really develop to the point where one year later, each person has 10 A-level skills, and then add the intelligence advantage brought by the information panel, it is not an exaggeration to call it a "natural disaster."

Moreover, there are dozens of such "mobile natural disasters". Wherever they go, no grass will grow.

Of course, fantasy is fantasy, but if you die in the early stage, then there is nothing to talk about. We still have to be pragmatic. The extinction of superhumans starts with running and push-ups.

[Received the reward for daily task 2 "One Hundred Push-ups", and obtained 2 attribute points that can be freely allocated. ]

Ke Mingye raised his finger and allocated the two attribute points he had obtained to "physical fitness" and "mental strength" respectively.

[Your "Physical Fitness" attribute changes: 64→65 points (↑1 point). ]

[Your "Spiritual Power" attribute changes: 22 → 23 points (↑1 points)]

[Received the reward for daily task 1 "Run meters" and received a chance to win a lucky draw.]

As the prompt box disappeared, the reward wheel slowly unfolded in front of him, and the text in six areas came into view.

[2500. mall coins;]

[1500. experience points;]

[1. Fragment of God's Disc*5 (After collecting fragments, you can get a God's Disc, which can be used to regularly obtain the location of a God's ruins);]

[4. A fragment of a low-level skill enhancement card (collect three fragments of skill enhancement cards to synthesize a low-level skill enhancement card) (a low-level skill enhancement card can be used to enhance an E-level skill);]

[5. C-level equipment - memory stealing gloves;]

[Six. Random D-level skill card.]

Ke Mingye pressed the start button of the turntable, and the pointer began to rotate at high speed.

Finally it stopped at area number one.

[Congratulations, you have received the reward for Area 2500: Mall Coins. ]

[Currently held total mall coins: 22800]

"That's enough." Ke Mingye thought, "If I sell all my belongings and get some, I can buy a B-level skill with a B-level skill card. I'll see how the skills I've learned in the past few days are. If I see a suitable B-level skill, I'll take it."

With this in mind, he opened his bag and sold two items that he didn't need very much - an "enhanced pirate musket", a "set of conductor uniforms", and the "electromagnetic pulse gloves" that were damaged in the battle and were almost scrapped.

To be honest, he quite likes this electromagnetic pulse glove, but unfortunately it does not have an automatic repair function, and it cannot be repaired and restored with mall coins, so he can only sell it for some mall coins.

[Sold D-level equipment "Enhanced Pirate Gun", E-level equipment "A set of conductor uniforms", and C-level equipment "Electromagnetic Pulse Gloves", and obtained a total of 4500 mall coins. ]

[Currently held total mall coins: 27300]

Although he felt like a spendthrift, he still clicked on the skill sales page with great interest.

[①: Doomsday Shelter (C-level skill, price: 25000 mall coins): Create a different space independent of the outside world, allowing you and a target to hide in it for a short time (the duration of the independent space is closely related to your "spiritual power" attribute). ]

"It's a bit like the 'cave theory' of intellectuals, but his skill can only be used on himself, while this skill can also be used on teammates. It can create a 1v1 space with the enemy, and it can be used to protect teammates."

As Ke Mingye thought about it, he swiped the panel downwards, his eyes fixed on the next skill.

His goal is B-level skills. Currently, there is only one slot left in the skill bar. Anyway, low-level skills will definitely be replaced in the later stage, so it is definitely not cost-effective to use low-level skills to occupy the last slot now.

It is better to buy a B-level skill directly. In this way, even if you want to replace this B-level skill with an A-level skill or an S-level skill, it will be in the middle or late stage.

[②: Flame Roar (C-level skill, price: 25000 mall coins): Open your mouth and spit out a bunch of flaming tongues. The greater your lung capacity, the longer this skill can last.]

[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: Spinning Arm Rock-Paper-Scissors (B-level skill, price: 52000 mall coins):
After using the skill, slowly rotate your arm. You can rotate a full circle every 1 second, and the power accumulated in your arm will increase by one level - the upper limit is 20 circles. When you reach the 20th level, your power will reach 10 times the original.
You can stop spinning your arms at any time and release all the power you have accumulated through spinning, then move forward to play a rock-paper-scissors game with an unknown result (randomly choose one of rock, scissors, or paper). Depending on the result of the rock-paper-scissors game, one of the following three situations will occur:

When you use the stone, the power of your fist increases again, and you throw a very fast punch forward;
When you use the scissors, use the two fingers of your right hand as a sword to cut forward a medium-sized blade (the power of the blade depends on the strength of your arm);
When you use the cloth, a beam of energy light will be blasted forward. (The power and maximum range of the energy light beam depends on the strength of your arm. The greater the arm strength, the stronger the energy light beam and the farther the range of the energy light beam will be.)

"Oh my god, what is full-time hunter?"

Ke Mingye opened his eyes slightly and thought to himself.

"It looks awesome... The upper limit of this skill sounds very high. But the uncertainty is too strong. Randomly selecting one of the three effects to release doesn't sound reliable."

This is the same principle as the disaster dice. Although the upper limit is high, it is highly uncontrollable.

However, as long as it is used skillfully enough, the uncontrollability of the skill can be minimized and the upper limit of the skill can be fully utilized.

"It's... fantasy time."

Ke Mingye scratched his chin with his hand, thinking.

“If I can get a key item in the later stage, or even a way to communicate with the goddess of fate, I can use these things to turn the “disaster dice” or “spinning arm rock-paper-scissors” from a gambler skill into a stable skill, and I can choose a result from multiple options.”

He didn't even dare to imagine how powerful he would be if that situation really happened.

Fixed choosing one of six dice events and escaping death by miracle;

Or you could spin around 20 times to build up your strength to the maximum, then when the rock-paper-scissors result in paper, you could blast a beam of energy forward and raze the Super Hero Building to the ground.

[⑤: Undead, listen to my command (D-level skill, price: 10500 mall coins): Summon a group of skeleton warriors to fight for you. ]

[⑥: Shadow Wolf Summoning (E-level skill, price: 5500 mall coins): Summon a shadow wolf to fight for you. ]

Ke Mingye stared at skills No. 5 and No. 6, and suddenly thought of a person, the third Japanese player mentioned by the number one gigolo - "Ye Su".

Although I didn't see Ye Su the last time I went to Tokyo, the number one gigolo said that Ye Su was taking the summoning route and all the skills he chose were related to summoning.

"Summoning players, if you can summon Godzilla in the later stages, you will be invincible." Ke Mingye thought as he flipped the page.

[⑦: Thunder Strike (C-level skill, price: 30000 mall coins): Summon the power of thunder to attach to the weapon, and deliver a devastating blow to the target. It is very powerful but there is a chance of harming yourself.]

[⑧: Language Mastery (D-level skill, price: 10500 mall coins): This skill is a passive skill. After purchasing it, you will automatically learn all the languages ​​in the world and be able to use them fluently.]

[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. ]

[⑩: Deep Diving (E-level skill, price: 5100 mall coins): After using this skill, you can breathe underwater for one hour, and your speed in the water will be greatly increased. ]

After a moment's deliberation, Ke Mingye decided to take this B-level skill. Opportunities are rare, and if they are lost, they will never come back. Who knows, maybe you will never get it again in the future, which would be a pity.

So he opened his bag and used the 50% off shopping voucher he had treasured for so long.

[A 50% off shopping card has been used (can be used to purchase items, equipment, and skills of B-level and below). When purchasing eligible items, the final price will be adjusted.]

Then click on the skill sales page, lock on skill No. 4 "Spinning Arm Rock-Paper-Scissors", and decisively press the purchase button.

[Currently held total mall coins: 27300]

[Under the effect of the 52000% off shopping card, the price of the B-level skill "Rotary Arm Rock-Paper-Scissors" has dropped to 0.5X26000= mall coins]

[Thank you for your patronage. You have successfully purchased the B-level skill - "Rotary Arm Rock-Paper-Scissors". ]

[This time, the total consumption is "26000" mall coins, and your current mall coin balance is "1300" left. 】

[The skill "Rotary Arm Rock-Paper-Scissors" has been automatically loaded into your skill bar No. 10. ]

[Important Tip 1: There are currently 0 empty skill slots left. If you need to learn a new skill, you must first overwrite an old skill! ]

[Important Tip 2: The covered skills will disappear and return to the skill sales page. If the player gets the skill again, they can still purchase it again! ]

"The skill bar is already full, but it feels a little unreal."

Ke Mingye muttered and glanced at his skill bar.

【1、诈术人偶（B级）；2、灾厄骰子（D级）；3、超级英雄式落地（E级）；4、人格撕裂（E级）；5、天选之日（D级）；6、相位转移（E级）；7、太阳能冲拳（D级）；8、安全限制解除（E级）；9、动物沟通术（E级）；10、旋臂猜拳术（B级）】

"If I want to change skills in the future, it seems that I will have to change 'Solar Punch', 'Safety Restriction Removal' and 'Super British Landing' first. These skills are not that irreplaceable."

"Also, after Yuriko ceremoniously sacrifices herself in the battle against the clock geek, I can legitimately replace the 'Animal Communication Technique'."

"I hope this dead cat will be able to play a role worthy of me buying an E-level skill for it and occupying a grid for so long..."

Ke Mingye closed the panel and muttered to himself.

After purchasing the skill from the skill sales page, he was not in a hurry to try it out.

This was a B-level skill after all, and if it made too much noise and attracted the police it would be counterproductive. This abandoned train station was his secret base.

So at this moment, he was concentrating on controlling the blue owl to rush to the abandoned train station.

To be honest, Ke Mingye was a little worried that Qing Ya would track Blue Owl. If Qing Ya saw this scene, he would immediately find out that he was using a puppet to play the role of Blue Owl.

It would be hard to explain then. I couldn't say that I had the ability to control puppets. That would be too suspicious. Given my father's personality, if he didn't put a brain imaging helmet on Ke Mingye's head, he wouldn't be like himself.

So in order to prevent this unacceptable situation from happening, Ke Mingye put in a lot of effort.

On the way back while controlling the Blue Owl, he deliberately found a shady place and activated the ability of the Night Belt to enter stealth mode.

Then he deliberately took several winding alleys and finally returned to the Laojingmai district via the most hidden route and quickly walked into the train station.

Despite this, Ke Mingye was still worried that the Blue Crow was still following him, so he released the Blue Bird reconnaissance plane from his bag.

This cyan bird-shaped reconnaissance machine stayed on the ground for a moment, then tilted toward the ground, like a newborn chick that has not yet learned to walk.

Ke Mingye scratched his chin and looked at it helplessly. He felt that this thing looked like a work from a student mechanical creativity exhibition, and it looked crude.

"Can this thing really fly?"

Just as he was thinking, the Bluebird reconnaissance plane suddenly stood up again, shaky but very determined, and the long hair on its head that looked like a "wing" stood up.

"Fly up. Fly around the train station and see if there are any crows. If you see any, turn around and fly away."

Ke Mingye's instructions echoed in his mind.

As the wings above the Bluebird reconnaissance plane began to spin at high speed, it flapped its mechanical wings and rose into the sky, patrolling back and forth above the abandoned train station.

Ke Mingye shared its vision and controlled the blue bird with his mind to patrol the sky, making sure that no black avian creatures would hide under the eaves of the train station and secretly observe his situation.

If crows appeared around, it meant that the blue crow was most likely nearby, and he would then have to find a way to escape.

Fortunately, after circling around, the Bluebird reconnaissance plane did not find any suspicious birds, so Ke Mingye put the stupid bird scout back into his bag.

"Fortunately, Dad didn't catch up with me..."

Ke Mingye was relieved after it was a false alarm. He covered his chest with his hands, and cold sweat ran down the back of his hands.

He didn't even dare to imagine how complicated the situation would become if his father really followed Blue Owl to a place like this and saw two Ke Mingyes.

Because of this, Ke Mingye must use his real body to fight in the future, otherwise Qing Ya will really follow him one day and try to find out his background.

Sooner or later, the fact that he used puppets to fight would be discovered, and then it would be impossible to explain it.

But it’s different now. He’s not strong enough and has no confidence. Besides, he hasn’t revealed his identity to his family, so no one will protect him behind his back.

If you go out to fight criminals in this situation and encounter a tough guy, you might lose your life.

Ke Mingye looked at the blue owl walking into the abandoned train station, and sharing his vision, looking at himself sitting on a public wooden chair, he always felt that this scene was almost schizophrenic.

He asked Blue Owl to take off his combat uniform, put down his spare phone, remove all his player equipment, and then handed him the business card of "Commander of the Super Hero Association".

Then he let Blue Owl face the wall in the corner, and then found a relatively cramped and soundproof corner to self-destruct.

Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief, put the spare phone in his pocket, and then picked up the business card.

"As long as I call the number on the business card and report to the association, I will be a superhero..." he thought, "and then my dad will know my identity immediately. I'm really curious about what will happen then."

Just as I was thinking about it, an information bubble suddenly appeared in the upper right corner of my vision.

【Cai Bing: Asleep?】

[Failed Man: Are you kidding me? I was just fighting criminals. Do you know how rich the nightlife of a superhero is? ]

【Cai Bing: Oh, I didn’t watch the news. 】

[Failed Man: So, have you found Gastro's true identity? ]

[Cai Bing: No, she does things very secretly. I guess she has only used the puppet since she released the first worm and created a puppet. She never shows up in person.]

[Failed Man: Then can you find out who was the first ordinary person to be controlled by the bugs, and where was he? ]

[Cai Bing: I did find out about this. I checked the surveillance footage of the entire city and moved the timeline back to the beginning. I found out that the person who first started spreading the bugs was a person named "Che Zhengchen" in the Hongdeng business district.]

Che Zhengchen?
The moment Ke Mingye saw the name, he first felt that it looked familiar, then he rested his chin on his hand and thought about where he had seen a similar name.

Then he stood there in a daze, slowly lowered his head, and glanced at the business card in his hand.

The content on the business card was very simple, but it made Ke Mingye shudder.

——Commander of the Super Hero Association: “Che Zhengchen”, contact number: XXXXXXXX.
