Chapter 79 The Chosen Day, the Chosen Person

After completing his morning run today, Ke Mingye arrived at Hongge Food Street as he wished. He found a breakfast shop inside and had some steamed buns and soy milk, then took the subway back home.

I used the key to open the door, pushed open the door, looked through the entrance hall, and the living room was still empty.

Ke Mingye sat down on the sofa, scrolling through his phone out of boredom. The clock on the old wall was ticking, and when the pointer turned to half past eight, someone finally appeared in the living room.

Ke Youqing and Bai Wenna woke up. One of them sat at the dining table reading a newspaper while the other frying eggs in a pan. They chatted about their honeymoon trip next week.

Ke Youqing couldn't convince her, so he had to agree to this matter. It seemed that the model worker would not be seen in the Beijing area for some time.

Ke Mingye sat on the sofa, listening silently to the conversation between this model couple.

"Dad and Mom are traveling, so what should we do with Ke Yongzhu? Will my little brother be surrounded and attacked by the Ninja Clan and roasted into a dragon meat hotpot?" he thought.

Ke Mingye is just a fence-sitter. After all, the task given to him by the system is either to help the Ninja Sect chop off the Dragon of Disaster, or to help Ke Xiaomo destroy the Ninja Sect. Which side to fight for depends entirely on Ke Xiaomo's mind.

But this fence-sitter should at least have some backbone, right?

So he planned to prepare well like his second brother and try to have considerable combat power before July 07th.

When the minute hand of the clock turned to eight forty-five in the morning, my second brother Ke Xiaomo returned home.

He was sweating profusely, and his white T-shirt was soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to his clear muscle lines. His wet hair hung down, covering his eyes. It seemed that he had done a lot of high-intensity training early in the morning. If an ordinary person had such a high-intensity training, it would not be surprising that he would die suddenly.

Ke Mingye didn't understand what ninja training was like, but he could roughly imagine it.

He had seen in some movies and TV shows before that many ninjas would hang themselves upside down on cliffs to train their concentration, and those who could survive were all strong men.

But he felt that practicing concentration in this way was not as fast as releasing a "super-British landing" from a thousand meters above the city, or dealing with eight superhuman family members who could kill him with a slap, playing the charming and lovable villain "Weird Thing", and being on the way to death or on the way to death every day...

This is what it means to truly cultivate concentration, okay?
It's just a bit time-consuming.

Ke Xiaomo took a shower in the bathroom, changed his clothes, and went back to his room for a nap.

Bai Ziling, Bai Zini and Ke Yongzhu secretly played "Starcraft Monopoly" in the room last night, so they haven't gotten up yet, except for Bai Zini who sneaked out of the back window of the room early in the morning to fight the criminals.

The eldest brother and sister got up.

Bai Qiuwu hurried out after breakfast. She had to attend a cram school for the college entrance exam and was in a hurry.
Ke Yinzhi yawned and sat down next to Ke Mingye, resting one arm on the back of the sofa, quietly flipping through Dostoevsky's "Notes from the Underground".

Ke Mingye just sat next to Ke Yinzhi and opened the mall panel unscrupulously, saying, "If you find me, I will die in front of you."

As usual, he skipped the first two pages and went straight to the skills sales page.

In the understanding of a gaming master like him, skills are king, and other things are just auxiliary - if you want to buy equipment, you should wait until the skill bar is full in the later stage, and then consider it when you have to expand your combat power in other ways.

[Currently held mall coins: 12260]

[①: Chosen Day (D-level skill, 11500 mall coins) (Specify a date more than 60 days from now. On that day, you will gain a one-time skill called "Chosen One". Within 1 hour after activating "Chosen One", all your attributes will double) (Cooling time of Chosen Day is: 60 days)]

[Note 1: This skill cannot specify the same date repeatedly. ]

"What Future Warrior?"

A critical hit at the opening. Ke Ming was thinking, what kind of crazy skills are these that the system has given me? Can I still predict what will happen in two months? I should open the champagne if I can survive this summer vacation, brother system.

But suddenly he had a new idea.

"If I use it once every two months, then this skill can be effective a total of five times in this year... That means there are a total of five designated days where I can obtain a skill that doubles my attributes in a short period of time. It's perfect for beating up the 'Terrible Crow Man', 'The God-Master Zeus', or 'Alien Mom'."

"If I randomly choose a day two months later, there's a good chance that I'll be tied up with family matters that day and won't be able to use my hands and feet, thus wasting this attribute-doubling skill."

"But what if we set all the dates to the last five days before the final mission deadline?"

"Then in the last five days, I can use this skill every time I face a tough guy."

This is what he thought, but Ke Mingye still felt it was too idealistic: doing so is no different from taking out a loan for investment. What you are borrowing is your current security, while what you are investing in is your future self.

So he first looked at the skills below.

[②: Blood Explosion (C-level skill, 30000 mall coins) (Skill effect: Convert your health points into physical fitness attributes and nerve reaction attributes in equal proportion. The more health points you sacrifice, the higher the attributes will be)]

"What Berserker?"

[③: Martyr's Faith (D-level skill, 11500 mall coins) (Skills retained yesterday will disappear the next day)]

[④: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (B-level skill, 55500 mall coins) (Unfold a "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" in the space ahead. The higher your "Spiritual Power" attribute, the higher the level of ghosts and gods you can summon)]

"Is this really not an A-level skill?"

Ke Mingye had his doubts, but since he couldn't afford it, he had no right to complain about it.

[⑤: Soul Steal (C-level skill, 30000 mall coins) (After use, enter a state that lasts for 20 seconds. Every time you cause damage to the enemy, you will make a judgment with a 20% chance of success. If the judgment is successful, 10% of the attribute value will be stolen from the enemy. All stolen attribute values ​​will disappear after 5 minutes)]

"I'm sorry."

[⑥: Death of Jesus (B-level skill, 51500 mall coins) (Create a small cross in the palm of your hand and designate a target. If the target dies within 10 seconds, his soul will attach to the cross. If the cross is not destroyed within 10 minutes, the target will be reborn)]

"I'm sorry, but why is the explosion rate of B-level skills so high today?"

[⑦: Partial Metallization (E-level skill, 5500 mall coins)]

[⑧: Finger of Greed (D-level skill, price is 12000 mall coins) (Skill effect: Causes real damage to a target that varies with the number of mall coins held by the player. If the target is successfully killed with this move, the player can obtain 200 mall coins) (No mall coins can be obtained by killing a target that is too weak)
(Damage calculation formula: 500 points of real damage + collateral damage affected by the number of mall coins. The more mall coins you have in your bag, the higher the damage caused by this move. Currently, if you hold 12260 mall coins, the Finger of Greed can cause real damage of "1% of the enemy's maximum health value")

"This skill is good for finishing off an attack, because it deals real damage. No matter how thick your opponent's skin is, it can't change the damage of this move. If you use it at the right time, it can also explode gold coins." Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows. [⑨: Poison Mist Burst (E-level skill, 5200 mall coins)]

[⑩: Life Conversion (E-level skill, 5500 mall coins) (Convert your health points into physical strength in equal proportion)]

Ke Mingye hesitated for a long time among the three D-level skills, "Chosen Day", "Martyr's Faith" and "Finger of Greed", and finally chose "Chosen Day".

If there is any skill that can change the outcome, this skill is definitely one of them. It can be considered an investment for the future.

[Thank you for your patronage. You have purchased the D-level skill - "The Chosen Day". ]

[A total of 11500 mall coins have been consumed, and your current mall coin balance is 760. ]

[The skill "Chosen Day" has been automatically loaded into your fifth skill slot. There are currently five empty skill slots left.]

柯明野打开手机，用百度引擎搜索了一下2028年6月22日的361天后是哪一天，最终得出的结果是“2029年6月18日”。

He confirmed it two or three times, then released his skill - "The Chosen Day."

[You have used the skill "Chosen Day". Please specify a date more than 60 days from now. On that day in the future, you will gain the right to use the one-time skill "Chosen One". ]

[Skill effective date: 202-year-month-day. ]

"To be honest, does this count as a loan investment? I've worked so hard, so I should be able to play a role in the future. The extermination of the superhumans depends on you."

While thinking, Ke Mingye selected a number on the panel.

[The confirmed skill effective date is: June 2029, 06. 】

[“The Chosen Day” has entered a two-month cooldown period. The next time this skill can be used is August 2028, 8. ]

"Okay."

Ke Mingye suddenly felt relaxed. If he had to make a metaphor, it was probably like the first day of summer vacation, when he stuffed all his homework into a safe and locked it with a timer that could only be opened on the last day of summer vacation.

Leave future matters to your future self.

Hey, isn’t it just the extermination of superhumans? As long as you work hard, you can definitely do it. Come on, future Ke Mingye.

At this moment, Bai Zini finally "got up". She went into the kitchen and hurriedly finished her breakfast, then sat between Ke Mingye and Ke Yinzhi and picked up her mobile phone.

He pretended to open Weibo and checked the hot searches on Weibo seriously, as if he really cared.

Then... just as Ke Mingye expected, she started to make trouble.

"Brother, you're on the trending search on Weibo." She covered her mouth and said with her eyes wide open.

"what?"

Ke Mingye turned his eyes away from the TV with a helpless look on his face, turned his head to look at her, and wondered what she was going to do next.

"Oh... is this true? Trending search on Weibo?"

After hearing what she said, Ke Yinzhi became interested and closed the book he was reading.

The two turned their eyes to Baizini, only to see that she was searching for trending topics on Weibo on her phone.

From top to bottom, the top trending search is: "Qing Ya killed a superhero who stood up for the citizens last night, which aroused public outrage. A large number of citizens gathered under the association's high-rise building early in the morning to demand an explanation";
The second hot search right next to it was: "Magical girl Ashes lectures passers-by";
The third trending search was: "The Super Hero Association made a public explanation early this morning that the person who defeated the criminal 'Ghost Man' near the Beijing Ring Bridge last night was not a superhero, nor a vigilante, but a Class C wanted criminal codenamed 'Dice Monster'. Qing Ya disabled the wanted criminal in order to prevent him from escaping."

Ke Yinzhi glanced at the trending searches and asked in confusion: "Ni, which trending search do you think has our little friend Mingye?"

"The second one, I just accidentally cut it out."

As she spoke, Bai Zini clicked on the second trending search and played a video shot by one of the bloggers. The content of the video was that the magical girl Hui Jin was chasing a criminal. She suddenly stopped halfway, walked to the side of the road, and lectured the passers-by who were filming with their mobile phones. The first person to be hit was Ke Mingye who did nothing.

"The passerby's face was blurred, and the voice was processed as well." Bai Zini looked up at Ke Mingye, then looked down at the lucky passerby with mosaics in the video, and said, "But the man being scolded by the magic girl must be the brother, because he's wearing exactly the same clothes as you."

After saying this, she looked like she was saying, "I'm a famous detective, there's only one truth," with the corners of her mouth raised high.

"It's not me." Ke Mingye had a blank expression on his face the whole time, and he argued, "We just wore the same clothes."

He complained in his heart, sister, you are really a troublemaker. You are going to mess with me no matter whether I transform or not.

"It's you, it's obviously you!"

Bai Zini refused to let him go, and reasoned seriously, "You went for a morning run early in the morning, and you wore the same clothes. At that time, you even told me on your phone that you were at Hongge Food Street, and asked me if I wanted to pack a meal."

"Indeed, judging from the posture and tone in this video, it is definitely our Akeno-san."

After watching the video, Ke Yinzhi shook his head in amusement, refuting Ke Mingye's rebuttal.

Ke Mingye covered his face and took a deep breath: "Brother, you won't let me go either, right?"

Ke Yinzhi took a sip of coffee, lowered his head to look at the pages of the book, and said, "Who asked you to stand by and watch in such a dangerous situation? Didn't we learn in the superhuman science class at school that if you encounter a superhuman battle nearby, you must evacuate to a safe place as soon as possible. Never stay there, let alone stand by and watch."

"That's right." Bai Zini nodded, and said sadly, "I didn't expect that our brother would also be on the hot search one day. Alas... it's a pity that he is used as a negative example. It's really embarrassing."

Please, what do you mean I will also be on the trending search one day? Aren’t I the protagonist of the three trending searches on Weibo?
Ke Mingye sighed and thought to himself.

And the other two trending negative examples are obviously your dad, please go and criticize him, don't torture me, please...
