Chapter 63 – 53 All mbers Present
Due to the scarcity of resources in the early stage of the ga, each skill selection seed so precious, with Ke Mingye staring at the ten skills on the panel, carefully weighing them in his mind.
He first passed on all skills of Grade D and above, for a very simple reason: he couldn’t afford them.
Because of the existence of the communication panel, Ke Mingye imdiately skipped the “ntal Link” skill, and besides, sharing thoughts could be dangerous. If he couldn’t control his own mind and accidentally leaked important information, that would be a disaster.
So, Ke Mingye turned to look at the descriptions of the “Night Walking Skill” and “Lights Out” skills.
“Night Walking Skill and Lights Out, neither of these is much use. Many superheroes have strong senses and night vision, so even if I block out light or beco invisible, I could still be easily discovered,” he pondered.
After dismissing most of the skills, he glanced at the “Portrait Concealnt Skill,” “Personality Split,” and “Superhero Landing” skills, thinking to himself.
“Personality Split sounds okay; it can let use a puppet in combat to achieve a 2v1 situation. But the more I think about it, the spookier Personality Split sounds.”
“Portrait Concealnt Skill sounds quite flexible. Although it’s easy to be seen through, it can be useful to muddy the waters if being tracked or chased, and it might even be possible to dodge mortal danger.”
“As for the Superhero Landing, while it may seem to have many loopholes, this thing can act as a life-saving skill, a mobility skill, and even a damaging skill. It’s pretty versatile.”
With that thought, Ke Mingye accessed the introduction screen for Skill No. 6, “Superhero Landing.”
Looking up, the details of how the skill’s damage is calculated were recorded at the top.
The concussion damage caused by the landing depended directly on the player’s “Physical Fitness” attributes, as well as the height above the landing point: the farther from the landing point, the higher the damage caused, and vice versa.
“So, if I swing higher with a web shooter, the higher the damage of this move would be…” Ke Mingye thought, “Then, if I drop down from the stratosphere at three thousand ters using Superhero Landing, wouldn’t I just squash Qing Ya flat with one stomp?”
More importantly, the damage from this move isn’t related to “weight” but to “Physical Fitness.”
This ant even a Deception Puppet could potentially inflict high damage with this move—because while the puppet’s weight was low, its “Physical Fitness” attribute was identical to Ke Mingye’s.
“It’s you, then.”
Ke Mingye made his decision inside, located the [Purchase] option below the skill introduction page, and lightly tapped it with his finger. A panel popped up before his eyes imdiately.
[Thank you for your purchase. You have bought the Grade E skill—”Superhero Landing.”]
[Total cost “5500” Mall Coins, your current Mall Coin balance is “2360.”]
[Skill “Superhero Landing” has been automatically equipped in your third skill slot, you still have seven vacant skill slots left.]
Ke Mingye thought for a mont and used the “Lock” function on Skill No. 1, ensuring it wouldn’t be refreshed away in the daily update in a few hours.
[Personality Split has been locked and will be retained until the end of tomorrow.]
“That’ll do for now; I’ll find so ti to try out the skill later.”
Ke Mingye switched to the equipnt special sale page.
After a quick scan, the ten pieces of equipnt updated today were nothing special. There were Grade E items like “Chieftain’s Trident,” “Never-extinguishing Torch,” and “Templar Assassin’s Hidden Blade”—things that made him want to shout, “Sir, the tis have changed!” Isn’t a handgun much more useful than all these combined?
However, the special sale page surprisingly had a Grade B item, a piece of equipnt called “100% Shield,” which allowed players to perfectly block damage from one attack, even unhard against a nuclear blast.
Unfortunately, priced around 30,000 Mall Coins, it was sothing Ke Mingye couldn’t afford, so he didn’t take another look and imdiately closed the mall panel.
“I’m ho, open the door,” Ke Yinzhi sent a WeChat ssage.
“Don’t you have hands? Press the doorbell and let mom open the door for you,” replied Ke Mingye.
“I rang the doorbell. She’s not ho.”
Ke Mingye sighed, got up from the bed, slipped on his slippers, and dashed downstairs to open the door at the entrance.
Before him was a handso face with distinct contours, a dash of elegance in his casual deanor, bright eyes, a prominent nose, and shoulder-length black hair.
Ke Yinzhi would usually wear two layers of masks when outside: a symbolic V-shaped mask of the Judge, and a human face mask. But now that he was ho, he wasn’t wearing any masks, revealing his true face without any disguise.
His true appearance was almost similar to that of his second brother, Ke Xiaomo, both delicate enough to be mistaken for a woman. However, Ke Yinzhi’s features had a more relaxed air to them, not as austere as his brother’s.
At this mont, he was wearing a brown trench coat, with his hands casually tucked in the pockets. Standing about 1.82 ters tall with broad shoulders, he made the coat look quite striking on him.
Ke Yinzhi leaned on the door fra, yawning with teary eyes from fatigue, and muttered to himself, “Took the high-speed train all day today, really tiring…”
After that, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Ke Mingye, asking, “Is there any dinner left for ?”
Right, right, right, you’ve been on the high-speed train all day, and as soon as you get ho, you start acting, right? Let’s see if I buy that.
Ke Mingye couldn’t be bothered with this attention-seeker, absorbed in his phone and responding half-heartedly.
“Nope, I dumped it.”
“Heh, that ans there is so.”
Saying this, Ke Yinzhi casually ruffled Ke Mingye’s hair and was about to brush past him when the elevator doors opened, and Bai Qiuwu, still dressed in her school uniform, walked out.
Ke Yinzhi paused, slowly turning his face, his bright eyes shifting to the person erging from the elevator.
Seeing Ke Yinzhi standing at the door, she was slightly startled: “Old brother?”
“Oh, what a coincidence,” Ke Yinzhi raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise as he said, “Isn’t this our little friend Qiuwu? Have you eaten?”
Bai Qiuwu gave an excuse upon being asked, “Not yet… I was planning to go out with a friend, but I got stood up.”
Hearing her say so, Ke Mingye sneered inwardly: “Please, I was the one who stood you up, but you don’t really think I’d go eat with you at a Western restaurant, do you?”
“Then co have dinner, I haven’t eaten yet either.”
With that, Ke Yinzhi gave a small smile and stepped into the living room, removing his boots first.
Ke Mingye stood at the door, lifting his eyes from his phone to gaze at Bai Qiuwu.
“So, the question is, what were we talking about on the bus? I went through an entire movie at the cinema, while soone ditched halfway through.”
He knew he was playing the villain by accusing her first, after all, he was the one who lured Bai Qiuwu away with a text ssage, but he still had to play his part.
“I had an ergency, what could I do?”
Bai Qiuwu reached out and ruffled his hair, dismissively saying like she was placating a child.
Ke Mingye swatted her hand away and sighed, “Stop it, every damn ti you guys co ho, you ruffle my hair, if I don’t grow to 2.1 ters, it’ll be your fault.”
“You want to grow to two ters?” Bai Qiuwu laughed.
Done with talking, she glanced at Ke Yinzhi, who was opening the fridge, and asked in a low voice, “By the way, when did big brother get back?”
“Just now, sa as you,” Ke Mingye answered.
“Is that so…” Bai Qiuwu paused for a mont, “That’s quite a coincidence.” She said this and, changing into sandals, walked into the house.
