Chapter 015 Spider Web Device

"The entirety of Huanjing only has a total of one hundred instances, and I just happened to stumble upon one just by walking around, seems like my luck isn't too bad," thought Mingye, looking up at the instance panel above the abandoned train station.

The panel was as big as a cinema screen, embedded in reality, which undeniably created a surreal visual impact that was hard to miss.

If every instance panel was this big, then logically, even if there weren't many players in Huanjing, each one could still find several instances.

He didn't dare enter an instance alone, fearing that once in, he might not come out again. Better to wait and contact other players in the city and form a team before entering.

With this thought, Mingye withdrew his gaze and glanced at the list of daily tasks.

[Daily Task 1: Run 3000 meters (Completed)]

[Daily Task 2: Do one hundred push-ups (Uncompleted) (Current: 0/100) (Reward: One attribute point to be assigned freely)]

"The next task's reward is an attribute point, huh…"

Mingye thought, as he opened his personal panel.

[Player Level: Lv.1]

[Player Experience Points: 0 points/500 points (can be obtained via "instances," "tasks," "killing superhumans," etc.)]

[Player Attributes: Physical fitness: 9 points; neurological reaction: 9 points; mental strength: 10 points]

[Below are the attribute standards for different levels of humans:

Normal adolescents: 13 points;

Normal adults: 20 points;

F-level superhumans' outstanding attribute: 30-60 points;

E-level superhumans' outstanding attribute: 60-100 points;

D-level superhumans' outstanding attribute: 100-140 points;

C-level superhumans' outstanding attribute: 140-180 points;

B-level superhumans' outstanding attribute: 180-250 points;

A-level superhumans' outstanding attribute: 250-400 points.]

Mingye raised an eyebrow, doing some quick calculations.

"Based on these calculations, Bai Zini could beat two hundred and fifty of me; Bai Qiuwu could beat three hundred of me; Dad could beat four hundred of me; Mom could beat at least five hundred of me."

In that moment, he felt genuinely thankful to God from the bottom of his heart, for having the honor to be born into this family and becoming an indispensable part of it:

— as a unit of measurement for combat power.

[Player Abilities: Firearms proficiency not yet activated, Lock-picking expertise not yet activated… (Open abilities list to view all your ability details)]

[Player Skills: None (Each player can equip up to ten skills, and can replace skills in the skill slot after it is filled.)]

Ke Mingye clicked the close button on the panel and headed towards the supermarket where his backpack was stored, pondering along the way.

"Although the attribute point given by the daily task doesn't seem effective for now, it will be useful as it accumulates. One a day adds up to 365 points a year. If they are all added to physical fitness, then I'd nearly be a superhuman whose strength is an A grade."

"Logically, by that time, it shouldn't be a problem to smash a Magic Girl with one punch."

"Not to mention, I should also be able to gain attribute points by 'leveling up' or 'entering instances.'"

"However, my current physical fitness is really pitiful, darn it, only 9 points, a normal teenager has 13 points, that's a whole 4 points lower. Doing a hundred push-ups in a row would definitely be hopeless, I might even pass out. When I get to school, I'll do a few during the breaks, that should roughly add up by the end of the day."

Walking absentmindedly, Ke Mingye soon arrived at the supermarket at the entrance to his home. He retrieved his stored backpack from the owner and slung it over his shoulder.

He checked his phone, and it was already seven o'clock.

"Young man, I haven't seen you go for a morning run before," the owner asked.

"The world is so dangerous nowadays, better to work out vigorously and strive to smash a Magic Girl with one punch."

Saying this, Ke Mingye took a pineapple bun and a bottle of oat milk from the supermarket's cabinet, held them in his hand, and paid by scanning a code.

"You don't say, I encountered a superhuman in the western district before, and it was a Magic Girl who saved my life. She used an umbrella as a gun, and she was so impressive that both my spouse and I were stunned. On the way back, my spouse and I discussed on the bus about these Magic Girls and this one with the umbrella was the most delicate looking."

The owner said laughing. He picked up a folding fan and fanned his face with it.

Ke Mingye laughed along, thinking to himself that Bai Zini not only appealed to both genders but also didn't spare the elderly, proving that in this era, the charm of Magic Girls is indeed more trendy than that of traditional celebrities.

Not only do they have the underage Buff, but those who become Magic Girls are generally good-looking. Combined with their strong ability to protect the people, their appearance alone comes with a dazzling filter, making them hard not to be popular.

Even the past idol agencies are no longer promoting idols. Perceptive agents have promptly aligned themselves with some not-so-serious superheroes or Magic Girls. With a little repackaging and some purchased online traffic, becoming an overnight sensation on the internet is no difficult feat.

Those who still stick to the old idol routine are swimming against the current, attracting few followers, becoming the outcasts of the era.

"You're not a fan of hers, are you?"

While he spoke, Ke Mingye tore open the package of the bread and glanced at the owner.

"I've always seen her videos on TikTok."

"Really? My classmates say that these Magic Girls never bathe, wearing the same outfit every day, which is really bad luck. Whenever we see them, we immediately block, unfollow, and report them. Time to go to school, see you later, boss."

Ke Mingye took a bite of the pineapple bun, casually maligned Bai Zini's reputation, and then left the supermarket with his backpack, heading towards Huanjing Third High School.

His older sister, Bai Qiuwu, also attended this high school, although they were a grade apart. Once this summer vacation was over, one would be in the second year, and the other in the third year of high school, the academic pressure was indescribable. Luckily, Ke Mingye had good grades in his past life and handled it like a fish in water.

On his way to school, he clicked on the "Knapsack" icon in the upper right corner of his vision. This thing was like a backpack in an online game, used for storing equipment and materials.

Upon opening it, he saw a total of fifty slots in the knapsack panel, with forty-nine of them empty except for the first slot, which held an item.

The only item in the knapsack was a "Web Shooter" he won from a spin-the-wheel lottery, from the well-known movie "Spider-Man" in another parallel world.

Ke Mingye had looked this up on his first day here; because this world already had superheroes, most "superhero movies" had become "documentaries" or "biographical movies," hence there were no such fictional characters as "Spider-Man," "Batman," or "Superman."

Instead, there were superpower Users, mutants, Magic Girls, or characters adapted based on their images who had really existed in history.

Thus, he guessed that when people from this world see him pull out the Web Shooter, their first reaction would probably be what on earth is this, rather than asking with a smile, "Are you cosplaying Spider-Man?"
