Chapter 40 – 034: Black Judge
“I feel like there’s still plenty of room for improvent in managing my villain image… Maybe I should study so footage of my old man in action; his good guy persona is more terrifying than any villain’s.”
Ke Mingye slouched against the headboard, yawning while sarcastically mulling over in his mind.
He had thought that since he was playing the villain, it wouldn’t hurt to co up with one or two morable exit lines like Team Rocket or the Big Bad Wolf, to let loose and vent so stress while he could use clones, so he wouldn’t go crazy from playing too many roles in this house of monsters…
But the actual footage was sowhat unbearable to watch.
Bai Zini probably saw it as so ugly, bizarre Weeble wobbling on a train, spouting nonsense, blabbering on and thinking he was so cool, only to have his head lopped off and, damn, did it fly high.
Show off all you want, the only trick in the book is self-destructing. Mysterious words and actions that completely mismatched the demonstrated power. Overall, for now, he’s nowhere near a cool and mysterious villain.
Being a villain is so frustrating, when will it ever be my turn to chop off soone else’s head?
Ke Mingye thought about it, then figured getting beheaded by his own sister was one thing, but if soone else beat him up like that, wouldn’t that give him a heart attack?
However, the pain from the puppets isn’t shared with him, so it doesn’t really matter how they are tornted. He could just blow himself up directly and deny others the chance.
“My head’s flown off, can’t even pretend to be cool, it’s tough being .”
As Ke Mingye grumbled to himself, suddenly a prompt popped up before him.
[Congratulations, you have completed the primary mission “Destroy the Magical Girl Alliance’s” first node—by infiltrating under a disguised identity “Magical Girl Ash.”]
[The next target node for this main mission is: Approach the Magical Girl Alliance through “Magical Girl Ash.”]
[Node reward received: 1000 Experience Points, 5 attribute points, 1000 Mall Coins.]
[Your level has been increased to Lv.2 (500/1000 points), and you have received 1 attribute point as a level-up reward.]
[You currently have a total of 6 idle attribute points available, please allocate them promptly.]
“What a surprise, I thought rewards only ca after completing the whole mission. But I guess that’s right, by the ti I’ve destroyed the Magical Girl Alliance, the ship would have long sailed on any rewards.”
Ke Mingye raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself as he summoned his personal panel. He kept clicking the plus icon next to the “Physical fitness” attribute, and suddenly a prompt popped up.
[Notice: “6 points of attributes” have been added to the “Physical fitness” attribute.]
[Current player attributes as follows—Physical fitness: 16 points; Neurological response: 9 points; ntal strength: 10 points]
[Congratulations, your “Physical fitness” attribute successfully surpassed “the average level of normal adolescents” (13 points).]
Ke Mingye looked at the word “Congratulations” on the panel, thinking thanks for reminding of how great my start was.
As he shut off the panel, thinking about the 1000 Mall Coins from the recent task reward, he opened the “Player Mall”. He skipped straight through the first two pages, heading directly for the “Skills Exclusives” page. As it wasn’t midnight yet, all ten skills remained unchanged.
[①: Hundred Percent Slap (E-level Skill, price: 5000 Mall Coins)]
[②: Finger Gun Snap (D-level Skill, price: 12000 Mall Coins)]
[③: Moon Step (C-level Skill, price: 30000 Mall Coins)]
[④: Deception Puppet (Already Owned)]
[⑤: Thought Delivery (E-level Skill, price: 5000 Mall Coins)]
[⑥: Sword Draw Strike (E-rank Skill, price: 5500 Mall Coins)]
[⑦: Animal Communication Skill (E-rank Skill, price: 5500 Mall Coins)]
[⑧: Flat Ground Slam Expert (E-rank Skill, price: 5200 Mall Coins)]
[⑨: Sa-Sex Charm Skill (E-rank Skill, price: 6000 Mall Coins)]
[⑩: Calamity Dice (Already Owned)]
Ke Mingye briefly glanced at the list, noting that even the lowest E-rank skills started at a minimum price of 5000 Mall Coins, let alone the more advanced skills; with his ager sum of 1000 Mall Coins, he could afford nothing.
After so thought, he clicked on the “Flat Ground Slam Expert” skill on the page, which imdiately prompted three options: [Buy], [Introduce], [Lock].
He chose the “Lock” function to prevent this skill from being refreshed away by tomorrow morning.
[The ⑧ skill “Flat Ground Slam Expert” on the skill exclusive page has been locked; it will be preserved for one more day and will not be replaced by new skills in the 3-hourly scheduled refresh.]
After completing these actions, he closed all the panels in one breath, and the world suddenly beca quiet.
“Now, I know what Bai Zini is up to, but what about dad, what is he up to?”
Ke Mingye thought casually.
The reason he dared to track Bai Zini was partly because her alertness was relatively low at ho, and partly because she was the only person at ho who ranked only B in strength, while the others were fierce n of A rank or higher;
If it were Ke Youqing, Ke Mingye wouldn’t even dare to think about it, with Qing Ya’s anti-surveillance capability, he might have been spotted the mont the Deception Puppet perched on the rooftop of the residential building.
However, it was worth noting that having not seen her for just one day, he noticed that Bai Zini’s strength had advanced from B to B . He did not know what she had done, perhaps she broke through a minor bottleneck.
With such a pace of progress, Bai Zini would soon beco a superhuman of A-class combat strength, a truly formidable younger generation.
“Forget it, whatever dad is doing, I can’t manage it; I’ll just go to sleep for today.”
Thinking this, Ke Mingye put down his phone and lay on the bed.
Drowsiness surged up, prompting him to close his heavy eyelids, and he soon fell deep into sleep.
……..
…….
At this very mont, in the city center of Huanjing, on the 79th floor of the Superhero Association’s China branch building, in a private resting room.
In the cramped, silver-white tal passageway, Ke Youqing was deep in thought in front of a full-body mirror.
The reflection in the mirror, save for his face, showed his body covered in that suit of pitch-black tal armor. A long cape fell to the floor like a tail, making him appear like a beast standing upright.
He gazed into the profound eyes reflected in the mirror, as if looking at himself, a cold light swirling in his pupils.
“The Black Judge, huh… He’s back from New York.”
Qing Ya murmured softly to himself, then slowly put on the mask he held in his hands. The eyes of the mask gradually opened, and the sinister beak of the crow stretched forward like a blade.
Tonight, he, along with three world-class Magic Girls from the Alliance, would et a high-ranking executive from the Anomaly Control Bureau in the conference room on the 99th floor of the Association branch building:
——”The Black Judge”.
