Superman Termination Manual

July 7th, Bai Ke's home.

After being disciplined by the system alarm clock, Ke Mingye's biological clock had become precise like machinery, always waking him up punctually at 6 AM before dawn.

[Good morning, Mr. Player, today is July 7th, 2028. There are 346 days left until the deadline of the ultimate task "Eradicate the Superhumans."]

The usual, opening his eyes to the system's pop-up was a hypertension inducer.

Whether or not the superhumans would be eradicated a year later was unknown, but one thing was certain—players suffering from hypertension wouldn't be in short supply.

However, Ke Mingye didn't mind, feeling anxious in the past, but he had grown accustomed to it after this period of time.

His mental fortitude, honed in Bai Ke's home, was evident.

He scratched his messy hair, removing the `sleep' from his eyes just like he swiped away the notification panel.

After finishing his bathroom routine, he left his home, ran around Old Jingmai District, and after completing one hundred push-ups, his damned daily task was done.

[You have received the reward for daily task 2 "One Hundred Push-ups," obtaining 1 freely distributable attribute point.]

[Your "Spiritual Power" attribute has changed: 12→13 points (↑1 point).]

[You have received the reward for daily task 1 "Run Seven Kilometers," earning a chance at the lucky draw.]

[You have drawn a reward from section four— "1500 Experience Points."]

[Your level has risen to Lv. 14 (500 points/8000 points), earning 1 freely distributable attribute point.]

[Your "Spiritual Power" attribute has changed: 13→14 points (↑1 point).]

To stand firm among Magic Girls and do slightly well, he quickly needed to raise his Spiritual Power to the Superhuman level, otherwise his current magic power was still too weak.

Ke Mingye was quite confident. After all, "Xiaohongmao" was a transformation ability brought by an almost A-grade props card, so the system set his talents quite high as a Magic Girl. Given that his Spiritual Power was still so low, the magic power Xiaohongmao could exert was already very effective.

On reflection, investing in "Spiritual Power" was a bargain; just two or three points of Spiritual Attribute could make Xiaohongmao's magic power rise significantly.

This pace of progress would leave those average-talented Magic Girls far behind, almost like cheating.

"No wonder Xizi Yue took a liking to me, could it be... I'm the damn once-in-five-thousand-years genius Magic Girl?"

As Mingye walked towards the Old Jingmai Cafe, he looked up to see that it was already open early in the morning, with the "Open" sign hanging on the wooden door.

He moved forward, pushing open the cafe's wooden door, as the wind chimes tinkled melodically.

He had heard from his brother that the cafe's owner had returned in the past couple of days, so the cafe opened much earlier than usual;

Not only did the owner make excellent coffee, but she also prepared some sandwiches daily, which were said to be quite tasty, prompting his visit to give them a try.

Ke Mingye found a corner in the cafe, bathed in orange-yellow lighting, and soon after, a calm voice emanated from behind the counter.

"What would you like to drink?"

Glancing at the menu on the wooden table, Mingye pondered for two seconds before replying, "Uh, I don't drink coffee. Can I have a glass of milk and a sandwich?"

"All right." Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

After putting down the menu, Mingye heard the owner's voice and thought to himself how young the owner must be.

While thinking this, a tall and thin silhouette appeared from behind the counter's back room. Leaning against the cafe's counter, he rested his arms on the surface, head bowed, fiddling with his phone.

From the sound of it, he seemed to be playing Minesweeper.

Mingye figured this person must be a staff member, so he just quietly checked the daily news on his phone without looking up.

Lately, witch-related incidents had been increasing around the world.

Many Magic Girls had fallen victim; in London, as many as seven Magic Girls had gone missing.

One of the three leaders of the Alliance, Magic Girl Lilai, was deeply troubled by this matter and had only last night, on behalf of the London Alliance branch, vowed in a press conference to catch the witches lurking in the city and bring them to justice.

During the press conference, journalists asked a question that Mingye was very interested in: whether "Witch's Night" truly existed.

Magic Girl Lilai maintained silence on this issue, her eyebrows creased lightly, offering no response.

Mingye had searched for "Witch's Night" online and heard it might be the witches' trump card—if they gathered enough Qiyamate Comet Fragments, "Witch's Night" could return to the world.

But no one knows what "Witch's Night" is, and there are various comments about it online.

Some say it's the witches' ultimate weapon; others say Witch's Night is the world's most powerful witch, sealed inside an Egyptian pyramid by the original generation of Magic Girls;

There are also those who claim Witch's Night is a natural disaster, originating from the Tower of Babel in the Bible, where humans incurred divine wrath by building a colossal tower, prompting deities to send down "Witch's Night" as punishment.

As Mingye browsed, it was hard to find consensus, making the information frustratingly unreliable.
