NOVPUBChapter 371 -211: Bedlam Asylum Plan
[Good morning, Mr. Player. Today is July 22, 2028. There are 331 days remaining until the deadline for the ultimate task 鈥淓radicate Superhumans.鈥漖
[The current number of surviving players worldwide is: 93 out of 100.]
Listening to the chilly notification sound, Ke Mingye tilted his body and sat up from bed. He yawned, his eyes brimming with sleepy tears, his vision blurry.
He hung his head idly for a moment before looking out the window, where the fragmented sky, cut by wires and the edges of tall buildings, caught his eye.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, covered in a gray haze.
He raised his right hand, rummaged beside his buttocks, and pulled out the spare phone hidden under his pillow.
...
While waiting for the phone to boot up, he clicked on the information bubble in the upper right corner of his vision.
Immediately after, chat panels and phone notifications filled his sight, overwhelming him like a tide.
[Fan Quan: Meet this afternoon; game arcade on Yandai Commercial Street.]
[Che Zhengchen: I鈥檓 awake. I鈥檒l leave the hospital this morning and return to the Association. Do you have time to come over? Let鈥檚 meet and talk about what happened yesterday.]
[I鈥檓 not Ash: Thanks for yesterday, Xiaohongmao. If you鈥檙e free, let鈥檚 go out. I鈥檒l treat you to cake and then we can sit at a cat cafe.]
[Bai Qiuwu: I misjudged you. Thanks to you for saving my sister today.]
[Mo: Come to Wine Reflecting Coast tonight; I have something to ask you.]
潙滒潣凁潟橉潙?co
鈥淵ou guys really don鈥檛 stop; you鈥檙e forcing me to become a master of time management, aren鈥檛 you?鈥
Ke Mingye sighed, quietly complaining in his heart. This was a uniquely modern dilemma; even with many chores, ancient people could at least enjoy a moment of peace upon waking.
He got out of bed, entered the bathroom to wash up, and then put on sneakers to go downstairs for a run and perform sit-ups.
Soon, he had completed his daily task.
[You have claimed the reward for Daily Task 2 鈥淥ne Hundred Sit-Ups鈥滫 received 2 freely distributable attribute points.] 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
[Your 鈥渘eurological reaction鈥 attribute has changed: 49鈫?1 points (鈫? points)]
[You have claimed the reward for Daily Task 1 鈥淩un 5000 Meters鈥滫 received one spinning wheel draw.]
The prize wheel slowly unfolded before his eyes. Text in six different sectors came into view.
[One, 3000 Mall Coins; Two, Grade-C equipment card; Three, one small monster transformation card (Werewolf); Four, one travel voucher; Five, double experience card for instance runs; Six, 2000 experience points.]
Ke Mingye stared at the reward area marked 鈥楾hree,鈥 considering what activities could make the best use of it if he indeed won it.
鈥淥h Qing Ya, for you I would turn into a werewolf鈥 For you, I鈥檝e embraced madness, worn thick disguises, and changed my heart鈥︹€
Muttering some ambiguous phrases, he glanced at the other sector rewards and casually pressed the start button on the spin wheel.
Immediately, the needle began to spin rapidly, finally slowing to a stop above sector 鈥楩our.鈥
[Congratulations, you have received reward 鈥楩our鈥橔 a travel voucher.]
鈥淗it the jackpot,鈥 Ke Mingye perked up, 鈥淭ravel voucher, I remember these things are pretty expensive, worth ten thousand Mall Coins each.鈥
He opened his inventory panel and glanced at the new item in his grid.
[Item Name: Travel Voucher]
[Item Description: Allows travel to any city in the world and return at any time within one day (return privilege expires if it exceeds one day)]
After closing his inventory, Ke Mingye began planning his day.
鈥淢orning to the Association to meet Commander Che, noon to meet Fan Quan, and in the evening I鈥檒l see Big Brother and Big Sister. As for my younger sister, I鈥檒l just send a message; it doesn鈥檛 matter whether I see them now or not.鈥
Ah鈥 this is the essence of being a master of time management.
Ke Mingye silently praised himself, then slipped his phone into his pocket.
He crushed the drink can in his hand and threw it into the trash bin behind him, then headed towards the abandoned train station without looking back.
鈥?.
鈥?.
Not long after, at Hongdeng Commercial District, Superhero Tower.
A figure in a red and blue combat suit stepped out of the elevator, glanced at the office in front of him, and walked straight in.
鈥淚鈥檓 here, Commander Che. You seem to have been quite hurt yesterday?鈥
Blue Owl sat down in a chair by the desk, his gaze casually turning toward Che Zhengchen across the desk.
He could see bandages wrapped around Che Zhengchen鈥檚 neck, now writing with his left hand instead of his usual right,鈥攁nd with Commander Che鈥檚 entire right arm hanging limply, leaving the hospital early with such wounds was really professional.
鈥淚鈥檓 okay. The Huanjing Association branch has quite a few heroes with medical superpowers; with their help, my wound healed quickly,鈥 Che Zhengchen spoke without looking up, his tone still warm.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 good.鈥
鈥淲hat exactly happened after you were taken yesterday?鈥 Che Zhengchen put down his pen, 鈥淭ell me properly, or it will be hard for me to explain to the senior officials.鈥
鈥淭hose people claimed to be 鈥楤lood Clan Hunters,鈥 and they worked with Dice Monster for their own goals. Dice Monster said that if they brought me there, he would tell them a vampire鈥檚 location, so they kidnapped me,鈥 Blue Owl leaned his head back against the chair, speaking resignedly.
鈥淒ice Monster again?鈥
Saying this, Che Zhengchen sighed softly, shaking his head.
鈥淩ight鈥 always Dice Monster.鈥
Blue Owl spread his hands, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, his tone carrying a hint of existential weariness.
