Chapter 236 Octopus Man War X Birthday Party (Part 1)

July 25, morning, Yandai Primary School.

A few bird calls, the soft morning light spreads, gradually climbing up every teaching building of the school, burning the shadows on the walls and corridors.

Shi Naian held Kobe, drooping her head, and walked listlessly on the empty playground.

She walked slowly along the runway, kicking away the swirling dead leaves. At this time, she was quite puzzled. She was obviously going to participate in the interview for membership, but she was thrown aside.

Soon, after leaving Yandai Primary School with Kobe in her arms, she took the bus back to Gujiusicun Coast.

Fingerprint authentication opened the door, and after returning to the room, she fell headfirst on the bed.

"Sleeping so early in the morning?" asked Owl.

"It's none of your business."

With that, she got up listlessly and took a shower in the bathroom.

After taking a shower, she wrapped herself in a towel and lay on the bed, her head resting on the pillow. She used her mobile phone to open a game of watermelon cut with a knife, and played it intently.

Owl squatted beside the pillow, silent, and could smell the scent of lemon shampoo emanating from her wet hair.

While playing, Shi Naian suddenly asked: "So, have I joined the Alliance?"

The owl said: "Yes, just wait for their notification. Didn't Little Red Riding Hood give you the contact information?"

"Oh." Shi Naian paused, "Then how can I join the Witch Church?"

"Before that, think about how to make yourself stronger. Otherwise, if you enter the Witch Church and make a little mistake, you may become a puppet of a puppet witch..."

"Then why not just forget it."

"Don't forget it!" The owl opened his eyes wide and said hurriedly, "This is a great opportunity to infiltrate the Witch Church. If you can help me arrest those damn witches, my performance will be far superior to other contracted beasts."

It saw that Shi Naian did not respond, so it directly used the following The worst option: "Don't force me to kneel down and beg you."

Shi Naian rubbed his nose and said gloomily: "What if I think it's better to be with a witch than a magical girl, and suddenly betray me?"

"No, witches are all a bunch of psychopaths." Owl shook his head, "If you really betray me, remember to leave me, Kobe, a way out, I will thank you."

"Okay." Shi Naian yawned and lay on the pillow, "Go to bed, good night."

"What time is it..."

"Why are you in a hurry? We can still stay together for a long time." Shi Naian said, and he had closed his eyes, "By the way, don't do anything weird while I'm sleeping, good night."

Owl sighed: "Forget it, good night."

Time is like sand slipping through fingers, running away silently.

Before we knew it, August 15th had arrived. For others, this might be just an ordinary day, but for Ke Mingye, this day has two meanings:

First, this day is the birthday of Bai Ziling and Bai Zini;

Second, this day is the day he and the Octopus Man have an appointment. The friendly match between the White Wing Team and the Octopus Man Team will be held on this day. The most professional photographers and self-media reporters will broadcast it live on the official website of the Super Hero Association, and the match will be open to the entire network.

As time came to noon on August 15th, the 25th floor of the Super Hero Association was densely packed with people.

Hearing that the White Wings and Octopus Man teams would have a friendly match in the metal testing room on this floor, many superheroes came from far away. Their composition was very complicated: some were jealous of Blue Owl's high fame and attention as a newcomer, some hated Blue Owl's style and his behavior of using the notoriety of Blue Crow to gain popularity, so they wanted to see him fall in this game, and some couldn't stand Octopus Man's arrogant way of dealing with people and his unshakable principles like cold-faced Jigong.

In short, although the popularity of these two heroes in the outside world is very different, the attention they have received within the Super Hero Association is comparable.

So, no matter who of them lost face in this game, it is a fun that these superheroes cannot miss.

At this moment, as the commander of the White Wings, Che Zhengchen would naturally come to watch this game. Being absent from such an occasion can easily be criticized by some gossipers: the commander did not show up, which means he himself has no confidence in the team and is afraid of embarrassment, so he is stage fright.

In this case, half the battle has been lost before the momentum is even built.

Che Zhengchen naturally did not want to see this happen, so despite his busy schedule, he still took time to arrive at the competition site on time.

The elevator door opened to both sides, and a noisy bustle came in. The smell of disinfectant mixed with the smell of alcohol penetrated into the mouth and nose, forming a sharp contrast with the silence in the glass curtain wall elevator. Some staff members set up a bar at the entrance to sell popcorn, cola, and swallowtail wine like a counter in a movie theater.

The chubby Balloon Man is still wearing the bright yellow battle suit today, and the fat on his abdomen makes the battle suit bulge slightly. He was holding a box of fried chicken in his hand, and smiled and waved to Che Zhengchen after seeing him, "Hello, Commander Che!"

Che Zhengchen raised his hand and smiled in response, moving forward through the crowd.

Suddenly, an extremely stinky smell came. Che Zhengchen raised his hand to cover his nose, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the source of the smell. He saw a curly-haired man in a brown uniform spraying it on himself. Wearing perfume, he walked toward this end hunched over, as if he didn't want to see anyone, without even raising his head.

The hero's codename is "Poop Superman."

I don’t know if it’s due to the influence of super powers, but this hero’s curly hair is shaped like dog poop. For example, it’s like the hairstyle of Lazy Sheep in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

The superheroes around him took a breath and cast strange looks at him.

Many people are secretly cursing about "Indian Asan", "Why is this shit-playing thing not a super villain but a superhero? I really want to burn him." "Don't say bad things about him, he is the same after all." You are a model hero who works conscientiously. Besides, aren’t you afraid that his shit will get stuck in your face?”

Che Zhengchen didn't take it seriously and just passed by Superman with a calm face.

"I asked why it stinks so much... It turns out to be the poop superman from India. I didn't expect that he would also be interested in the match between Blue Owl and Octopus Man. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be liked by our people. I guess this match will Many people in the audience must have suffered.”

Someone came teasingly.

Che Zhengchen turned to look at the speaker.

It was a middle-aged man with dark skin, a short haircut, and a serious expression like a training camp commander. Like Che Zhengchen, he belongs to the commander system of the Super League Association. Both of them are A-class commanders, which are the top commanders after S-class. This kind of commander will manage many high-level superhero teams, but occasionally he will discover new talents.

For example, the White Wing Team is a team of newcomers that Che Zhengchen has chosen and trained. Generally speaking, this kind of team is not under the control of an A-level commander and is led by a lower-ranking commander. But if the A-level commander has this intention, Then they can also apply to the association for the management rights of which rookie team.

Che Zhengchen smiled at him: "Commander Xu Changzhou, long time no see."

"When we were in college, we often competed against each other in various competitions. I remember that our team lost to you in a psychology competition. It was a complete defeat. Later, I always wanted to surpass you, but you were banned by the Super League Association. He was selected and graduated before me and became a commander," Xu Changzhou said, "I didn't expect that after a few decades, the superheroes we led would have grudges over trivial matters and compete in the arena of the Super League. It’s like history repeating itself.”

Che Zhengchen adjusted his glasses and said calmly: "It's not that exaggerated. After all, we both went to a school that specializes in training commanders. It is natural that we would meet as commanders later. Many things seem like fate or accident. In fact, I think that whether it is chance or fate, it is composed of a variety of necessities, so there is no such thing.”

"No matter what, I have been chasing your back for a long time. If you hadn't been suspended and disappeared for a few years, I might not be worthy of being on the same level as you until now. I know what you have been through and why you have completely disappeared. It’s been a few years, so... I’m happy to see you return to the Super League.”

Xu Changzhou put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.

He naturally knew in his heart that if Che Zhengchen's son Che Maochen had not died in the hands of a watchmaker, Che Zhengchen would not have temporarily withdrawn from the Super League Association. Then the achievements accumulated in the past few years would be enough for him to become a S-class commander. There are only a few commanders of this level in the world, and they even have the authority to interfere with the actions of the Round Table heroes.

Unfortunately, the reality is not like this. Che Zhengchen has only returned to the public eye in recent days. The Super League Association still retains his status as an A-level commander and has not taken any measures to downgrade him because of his past achievements and glory. .

"Thank you." Che Zhengchen said, "But I am not a role model worth chasing. Commander Xu, you are serious."

"I know why you care so much about Blue Owl, because he is very similar to your son. He even risked his life to be targeted by the watchman and put on a similar uniform. This may make you have a feeling for him. Preconceived trust." Xu Changzhou paused, "I hope you understand that although his spirit is admirable, it does not mean that he has the talent to become a top hero..."

"After being a commander for so many years, I have my own way of identifying people. I don't need Commander Xu to teach me how to recognize people. Thank you."

Che Zhengchen smiled, his tone still calm.

Xu Changzhou said: "Then let me remind you, at least for now, the Blue Owl is by no means the opponent of the Octopus Man. I did not stop this game without any suspense, just to let the Octopus Man have a chance in front of the public. It’s an opportunity to express yourself, not to embarrass your reputation or to tear off the blue owl’s fig leaf in front of the public. I hope you don’t misunderstand my intentions.”

"There's no need to say so much, Commander Xu, this is just a friendly match..." Che Zhengchen paused, "And the winner hasn't been decided yet. Hasn't the game not started yet?"

"Then we'll see."

"OK."

As they spoke, the two walked into the giant metal testing room used for competitions.

The game is about to start, and the two teams have not entered the venue yet, but at both ends of the venue, the audience seats that extend upward like the ancient Roman Colosseum are already full of superheroes from all over the world - yes, many superheroes even booked their tickets in advance and flew all the way across half the world just to watch the game in person.

Che Zhengchen looked around and finally found a few familiar figures.

The most eye-catching one among them is the A-level hero, General Winter.

This hero is wearing ice-blue armor, and his whole body is covered with a layer of light frost. The expression under the helmet is as cold as iron, and there is a cold white light in his pupils, as if there is an endless heavy snow in his eyes.

According to internal intelligence, General Winter has already stepped half a foot into the Superhero Round Table, and his strength is naturally not to be underestimated.

At this moment, General Winter is sitting in an empty corner of the audience with his shoulders folded.

Few superheroes dare to sit next to him - because sitting next to him is like being in a cold storage at several degrees below zero, which is not something everyone can bear.

"With so many big figures paying attention to this game, if this kid loses, he won't be unable to get up, right?"

Che Zhengchen thought to himself, holding his chin, waiting for Blue Owl to enter the field with a warm smile.

He didn't care about the outcome of this game, a game can't decide anything. If he loses, it's okay, it can make this kid remember a little and not be so ostentatious in the future.

Soon, the White Wing Squad and the Octopus Man Squad entered the field.

They walked out of the corridor on the east side and the corridor on the west side respectively, and entered the shooting angle of each camera.

Invited by the association, the self-media creator "Mikaxi" was responsible for commentating this friendly match, that is, the woman who interviewed the dice monster and the blue owl when they first appeared on the same stage.

After seeing the blue owl, her face couldn't help but become a little excited.

She directed the photographer to zoom in on the White Wings team, and finally focused on Blue Owl alone.

Blue Owl's face was reflected on the big screen in the metal testing room.

"I should be able to beat this guy now..."

He looked up at the octopus man opposite him, moving his shoulders, thinking, "But even if I can't beat him, I've prepared a backup plan."

Blue Owl shrugged and began to recall his efforts in the past month.

From the daily tasks completed in these 22 days, Ke Mingye received a total of 44 attribute points, 7,000 experience points, 33,000 mall coins, two random C-level disposable cards, and a C-level equipment card.

And a set of twelve zodiac card collection books (as long as you collect all twelve zodiac cards, you can exchange them for a mysterious reward). At present, the zodiac cards "Pig" and "Rat" have been drawn.

In addition, during this period, he and Orange Peel and Anti-Dog played a total of two copies.

The first dungeon was played at Gujiusicun Coast, against a colorful jellyfish that could discharge electricity. When playing this dungeon, Ke Mingye also asked his contracted beast Kobe to send Shi Naian away, so that Shi Naian would not find out that there was a group of players playing the dungeon at his doorstep;

The other dungeon was located inside a hot pot restaurant, where players had to fight a hot pot monster that could spray duck blood, pork, and chicken. Piansuan was the first to die in the dungeon because he couldn't help opening his mouth to take those delicious foods.

It's a pity that these two dungeons were previously missed novice dungeons, similar to the challenge difficulty of the zombie chef, and the rewards were not high.

The total rewards for the two novice dungeons are [1. 6000 mall coins; 2. 3000 experience points; 3. One-time summoning card "Hot Pot Monster"]

But it was worth the trip, after all, in addition to the dungeon rewards, two dungeon cards were also collected.

Ke Mingye found that he had completely misjudged the potential of dungeon cards. You know, this thing does not occupy the bag grid like props and equipment, nor does it have a limit of 10 skill bars like player skills - that is, there is no upper limit to the number of cards collected, the more the better.

After a year, when every player has collected hundreds of dungeon cards, it is equivalent to carrying a treasure trove that can help him achieve a surprise victory.

In short, in the end, Ke Mingye added all the daily tasks, dungeons, and rewards obtained from leveling up to the "physical fitness" function, and the results are as follows.

[Player level: Lv.20 (2000 points/11000 points) (↑1 level)]

[Player's "physical fitness" attribute: 93 points → 138 points (↑45 points) - this attribute has broken through the "minimum attribute standard of D-level superhuman race" (100 points).

——It is still 2 points away from the "minimum attribute standard of C-level superhuman race" (140 points). 】

[Currently held total mall coins: 40,000]

In addition, during the time other than daily training and dungeon, Ke Mingye has been controlling the contracted beasts and teaching Shi Naian how to use magic to prepare for her future mission of infiltrating the Witch Church.

From Xiziyue's words, we can learn that those witches are brutal and extreme in their methods.

If Shi Naian does not have any skills, rashly letting the Witch Church pay attention to her is just sending her into the tiger's mouth, so waiting for her to improve her strength is an inevitable part of the plan.

Fortunately, this late-night kid is lazy, but she still does her daily tasks. And it seems that she should have put all her points into the spiritual attribute, so the total amount of magic power has increased rapidly.

Time goes back to the present, at this moment, in the audience seats of the No. 7 test room on the 25th floor.

Watching the blue owl enter the field, Che Zhengchen slightly raised his mouth and muttered to himself.

"That kid looks good..."

Just when Che Zhengchen was concentrating on the field, a dark crow flew from nowhere, slowly landed on his shoulder, and stared at the field motionlessly.

Seeing this, Che Zhengchen was stunned at first, then stared at the crow and sighed, and smiled unhappily.

He said, "It's been a long time since we last met, and you're greeting me this way... If you want to watch this guy's game, why don't you just come over? Is it necessary to be so awkward?"

The crow didn't respond, and his red eyes stared straight ahead, reflecting the red and blue figure on the court.

At the same time, in another corner of the city, in front of the 1201 gatehouse in a duplex apartment building in the Laojingmai District.

Ke Youqing was still wearing a suit lining, with a cigarette in his mouth, lowered his head and casually took off his shoes, then pushed the door and walked into the house.

Today is the birthday of his two daughters, and he can't take care of the work of the Super Hero Association, so he asked for leave in advance to go home.

Otherwise, when he comes back, he will be bothered by Bai Zini all night, and he may have to write a few hundred words of apology letter to express his repentance to his daughter, otherwise, with Bai Zini's personality, she will definitely hate him for a whole year and will not give him a good face every time she goes home.

Ke Youqing took out the cigarette from his mouth, stopped at the entrance of the living room and looked towards the sofa. Suddenly, he could not help but be silent for a while.

Ke Yinzhi, Bai Zini, Bai Ziling, Bai Qiuwu, and Ke Yongzhu were sitting in front of the TV, watching the live broadcast of the friendly match between the Octopus Man and the Blue Owl.

"This is weird..."

Ke Youqing frowned slightly, raised his hand and scratched the stubble on his chin, thinking.

Thanks for subscribing, and I'm asking for monthly tickets.
