Chapter 17 Campus Life
After that short while, the player didn't say anything again. The other two players from the same city in the discussion group remained silent, eerily quiet.
Ke Mingye expressed his understanding. After all, the player's identity at the beginning should be random. They can be a social animal, an orphan, a wanted criminal... everything is possible. They may be in a situation where they cannot get away, such as visiting their parents' graves, so it doesn't matter if they don't reply to messages for the time being.
He temporarily ignored the discussion group and finally arrived at the school building at 07:20.
As soon as I went up the stairs, I passed by a familiar figure and a faint voice came into my ears.
"You get up so early, but arrive at school so late?"
As Bai Qiuwu spoke, he stopped on the stairs that were two or three steps higher and turned to look at Ke Mingye.
"I went for a run, so I was a little late."
Ke Mingye replied, looking up from his phone and meeting her gaze.
A ray of morning light passed through the window at the entrance of the corridor and fell on her lead-like bright hair. It seemed as if I could see my own appearance in her clear pupils.
Bai Qiuwu casually tossed him a bottle and said, "Here, my mom asked me to give it to you."
"Oh."
Ke Mingye took the bottle, lowered his eyes to look at it, and it was a bottle of calcium tablets.
"Study well."
Bai Qiuwu curled her lips at him and then went upstairs.
"Okay, you too, sis."
Ke Mingye looked at her back and responded casually.
Students walking on the stairs, both male and female, basically looked at Bai Qiuwu. This was the reason why Ke Mingye didn't want to talk to her at school - in the context of a Japanese school, Bai Qiuwu would be the type of girl who would have love letters spill out of her shoe cabinet when she opened it in the morning.
Ke Mingye walked up the stairs and stopped on the second floor. The first classroom at the corner was his class.
I put my phone in the drawer and sat down at my seat. The classroom was already full of people.
No matter which parallel world it is, Chinese high schools are always the most competitive.
The reason why it is rare to see fantasy themes about domestic high school students saving the world is because the daily routine of Chinese high school students is generally that classes run from morning to afternoon, and after dinner they go to evening self-study, and their time is clearly arranged.
Fortunately, it was close to summer vacation, so the school cancelled the evening self-study. Everyone went home after the afternoon class, so Ke Mingye was able to stay at home last night.
But for Ke Mingye, staying in school is much more relaxing than staying at home.
After all, he would rather stay in school, do some papers, and relax his tense nerves than be trapped among a group of monsters with their own secrets and forced to play a nerve-wracking game of house.
The predecessor of this body didn't have many friends either, because he was too introverted and usually kept to himself, which saved him the trouble of socializing.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Ke Mingye heard the boys and girls in the class gathered together, discussing enthusiastically the superhuman attack that occurred in the city center last night.
In this world, the nature of the Super Hero Video Dark Web is actually similar to the pornographic websites of the previous life: it is banned on the surface, but everyone has a URL to a certain extent.
At this moment, a boy sitting in the back row put his mobile phone on the table and played the live video of last night. The other students in the class gathered around the table.
As the discussion and exclamations grew louder, few people were sitting in their original seats as they were all drawn over.
Until the end of the video, when the blue crow suddenly rose from the darkness and the strange mask occupied the entire screen, although most of the students were mentally prepared, they were still frightened when they actually saw this scene, and scattered away from the table screaming.
The whole classroom was silent for a second. The students who were not watching the fun looked up from their desks and looked at each other, perhaps thinking that the head teacher had arrived.
Ke Mingye was playing with his cell phone and was no longer surprised by the noise.
He yawned and thought to himself, "Do you understand? This is the oppressive feeling of the "Terrible Crow Man". Anyone who wants to be a villain in the future should learn this trick quickly..."
Many girls in high school are fans of "Magical Girl Ashes". When they saw last night's video on Douyin, they screamed and said that this dress is so elegant and they must buy one when they get their pocket money. Students often buy one-to-one scale magical girl Cosplay dresses on online shopping platforms. This phenomenon is very common, just like some people buy celebrity peripherals.
As celebrities gradually fade out of people's sight, naturally there will be another kind of people to replace them and promote similar economic effects. At this moment, the whole teaching building was noisy. The students were basically discussing the incident last night, and there was no sign of stopping, which showed how much attention this matter received.
Most of them were childish boys arguing over the combat power of superhuman races, fearing that their favorite superheroes were inferior to others.
Ke Mingye held his chin and sat quietly in a corner of the classroom.
He was quite curious about what these people would think if they knew that the true identity of Magical Girl Ash was actually a junior high school student two years younger than them.
However, given the chaotic personalities of contemporary high school students that have been destroyed and polluted by Internet culture, even after knowing the identity of this magical girl, they will most likely only become more extreme and their words more fanatical.
Well... at most the words of support changed from "Sister is so cool, I love you so much!" to "Ashes, mom loves you!" and other weird remarks.
Among the male students in colleges and universities, the majority are fans of "The Avatar Black Goku". Many businesses even launched action figures of this Avatar, which were often sold out overnight.
However, the people that the students in the class were discussing were all their family members.
Ke Mingye had grown up with these people and knew the personalities of each of them, so naturally there was no filter brought by the sense of mystery. So even if he knew their secret identities, he could not feel their charm.
He really couldn't understand why Bai Zini's popularity in the country was so terrifying, even far ahead of other people in the Magical Girls League.
Perhaps in an overly conservative country like China, everyone is used to seeing those magical girls with pure personalities and dignified manners on TV, so when they see such a lawless magical girl whose style of doing things is to "do what she wants", they naturally feel their eyes brighten.
Of course, speaking of such people, there was a more "self-willed" person in last night's incident...
To be precise, that guy has been so self-willed that he has been criticized by everyone - without a doubt, it is Ke Mingye's father: Ke Youqing, also known as the strange hero "Qing Ya".
The truth is cruel. In Chinese high schools, if you say you like the inferior heroes like "Qing Ya" who are criticized by everyone, you will be isolated and ridiculed, and may even be labeled as "mentally abnormal."
After all, even the political teachers would educate students in class righteously, saying that the teachers completely agree with your pursuit of superheroes and magical girls, after all, they are the heroes of the people and the heroes of the country, but you must avoid such inferior characters as "Blue Crow" to avoid being influenced.
Having said that, there are always a few eccentric weirdos in every class who insist on going against the current and like different things from others. Therefore, the strange hero "Green Crow" who has been boycotted by society actually still has a large number of fans supporting him in China, but it is hard to say what the composition of these fans is.
There are four classes in the morning. Whenever the bell rings, Ke Mingye will try to find a place where no one is during the break and do 20 push-ups silently.
So when school was over at noon, he successfully pulled his tractor-like body and completed the 100 push-ups required by the daily task without missing a single one.
[Daily Task 2: Do 100 push-ups (completed)]
[Reward obtained: one attribute point that can be freely allocated)]
Ke Mingye lowered his head, slumped in his seat, and looked at the panel while panting.
He was really worried that he would die in the next second. The beginning of hell was no joke. This body was no longer in a state that could be described by the three words "poor constitution".
The word "sickly" is more appropriate.
He rested on the desk for a while, opened the player panel, and pretended to watch short videos on his mobile phone to avoid attracting the attention of others in the class.
Click on the plus sign behind the "Physical Fitness" attribute, and a prompt panel will pop up immediately.
[Tip: The "1-point attribute" has been added to the "Physical Fitness" attribute. ]
[The current player attributes are as follows: Physical fitness: 10 points; Nerve reaction: 9 points; Mental strength: 10 points]
Ke Mingye moved his shoulders, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but the fatigue in his body seemed to ease.
At the same time, a subtle warm current, like a tide, flows back and forth along the muscles and bones.
After adding the points, he closed the panel. With nothing else to do, he lay on the desk and watched videos.
Open any entertainment software in this world, such as TikTok or Weibo, and you will basically see a superhero’s face, or you will be on your way to seeing a superhero’s face.
As soon as Ke Mingye opened the video software, the first video pushed to him was a collection of appearance clips of the top hero of the "Super Hero Round Table" - "Zeus the God".
