Next day, early morning.

[Good morning, Player Sir, today is August 23, 2028, 299 days left until the ultimate mission “Extinction of Superhumans” deadline.]
Listening to the timed system announcements, Ke Mingye opened his eyes from bed, starting the day with a shock.

[Obituary: Yesterday afternoon, in New York, USA, player “KiKi” killed two other players, “Black Jasmine” and “Jungle”. This player is now marked as a red-named player by the system, please stay alert.]
[Current number of players globally: 91 (|2)]
“Damn it?” Ke Mingye was stunned, “What’s going on? A traitor among us, who even killed two players in a row?”

He stared at the player IDs, checked the rankings, and confirmed that both Black Jasmine and Jungle were top players, only to die at the hands of another player.

“Who exactly is this ‘KiKi’?” He thought.

[Next, an important announcement: Due to the frequent occurrences of player infighting recently, the number of red-named players is increasing. Therefore, the timing of the “Dimensional Martial Arts Association” event will be postponed. We hope all players will actively enhance their power to guard against both internal and external threats.]
“Are there only me and this kiki as red-named players, where are there so many?”

Ke Mingye muttered to himself, got out of bed, scratched his messy hair, and greeted the bluebird perched on the telephone pole.

After washing up, he headed out early with his backpack on.

Ke Mingye didn’t wake up Bai Qiuwu; after all, his sister was a popular figure at school, and being with her would invariably draw too much attention. He was on an unprecedented spy mission, so it was better to be cautious.

As usual, he arrived at school early. While the morning exercises had not yet started, he efficiently completed his daily tasks on the playground.

[You have received the reward for Daily Task 2 “One Hundred Push-ups”, earning 2 freely distributable attribute points.]
[Your “Spiritual Power” attribute change: 77-79 points (|2 points).]
[You have received the reward for Daily Task 1 “Run Five Kilometers”, earning one chance for a spin-the-wheel lottery.]
[One, 5000 Mall Coins;]
[Two, 3000 experience points;]
[Three, one travel ticket (allows travel to any city in the world, return to the original location after one day);]
[Four, unique level equipment: National Team Binding Card (Each time China’s national football team wins a match at the World Cup, you get +5 points to all attributes; otherwise, for each loss, you get -5 points to all attributes);]
[Five, one friend addition card (upon use, you can specify a player’s serial number, send a friend request without meeting them face-to-face);]
[Six, thanks for participating.]
“Bro… what the hell is this ‘National Team Binding Card’? Can I use this equipment on other players, secretly set it up for Fan Quan, and let his attributes drop to -10086?”

Ke Mingye twitched the corner of his eye and muttered a few complaints before pressing the spin-the-wheel start button.

[You have drawn a reward in area five — “One Friend Addition Card”.]
Seeing this, Ke Mingye thought: “That’s settled then. Speaking of which, with this card, I can send a friend request to ‘kiki’, and share some insights on being a red-named player.”

When the bell for class rang, there were still two seats empty in the classroom, and it was very obvious who was absent — Kokonoe Sakura didn’t come to school today, and her follower Liu Huazi was also absent.

Ke Ming shook his pen, glanced sideways at the empty seats, and withdrew his gaze.

He thought: “Last night’s news must have hit Kokonoe Sakura hard. She had just come to terms with her brother being locked in an asylum. Rather, with her personality, she must be planning to gain more influence in her family, then go to England’s Bedlam Asylum to bring Amemiya Ying back home. Now, it’s been years since they last saw each other, and Amemiya Ying has become the leader of the Anti-Superhuman Organization, even recently ‘escaped’ from jail.”

Time flew, and by noon, as the bell for class dismissal rang, Ke Mingye left the school and had a beef rice bowl at a snack street near Huanjing Third High School.

Then on the way back to school, in a deserted alley, he released the Doll. He commanded it to head to Yandai Commercial Street and activated its automatic pickup function, stole a set of older children’s clothing, and then met privately with Fan Quan inside an arcade.

…

Soon after, inside the arcade, in a private room on the second floor.

“You’ve been less and less late recently, that’s progress.”

Fan Quan said, closing the Bible in his hands. Today, as usual, he was dressed entirely in black, looking like a dead person.

“Fragment fragment fragment.” Ke Mingye sat down opposite him, getting straight to the point, “Cultured man, be efficient. I still have to control the body of Red Hat. After I get the fragment from you, this body must explode before it’s too late to switch the Doll. If Red Hat explodes in my house, it’s over.”

“What’s the difference between your attitude and a robber’s?”

“I trade you a ‘National Team Binding Card’.”

“What’s that?”

“Actually, I didn’t get it. But I think it’s a piece of equipment that would really suit you. If I ever get the chance, I’ll definitely give it to you.”

“Tell me more about the equipment’s effects.”

“For every match the national football team loses at the World Cup, it gives you +5 to all attributes.”

“That sounds powerful, but there’s a bug.”

“What’s the bug?”

“The national football team can’t qualify for the World Cup.”

Ke Mingye realized: “… then never mind.”

“Alright, I’ve got other things to do this afternoon, let’s talk business,” Fan Quan said, “The biological father of this body was killed by me. I’ve got to take over his job, deal with arms smugglers, and once I control the Superhuman Species Organization, I can also provide them with arms through this connection.”

“Tough guy.”

Ke Mingye gave a thumbs up, Cultured man never disappointed him, always talking about filial piety.

“Here’s the fragment.”

Fan Quan spoke as a glimmer shimmered in his palm, a nondescript prism-shaped fragment appeared in his hand, finely etched with stripes.

Ke Mingye accepted the fragment and stowed it away in his bag.

Then he opened the bag, clicked on the “Divine Disc Fragment” icon, and a pop-up appeared with the option [Assemble Now]. He clicked on the option, and another pop-up appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations, you have obtained an A-level item – “Divine Disc”.]
