[Good morning, Mr. Player. Today is July 24, 2028. There are still 329 days left until the deadline for the ultimate mission "Extinguish the Superhumans."]
[Current number of surviving players: 93 (No deaths occurred yesterday)]
Listening to the system's announcement, Ke Mingye jolted awake from his bed, bewildered for a moment before recalling that he had set an alarm, but now the alarm had turned into a daily report, which actually saved him the trouble.
He opened his eyes, yawned, lazily got out of bed, scratched his messy hair, and casually turned off the panel.
Turning his cheek, he glimpsed the faintly lit sky through the curtains stirred by the breeze. Mottled morning light fell into the room, with the distant overpass still shrouded in a hazy curtain.
Ke Mingye glanced at the wall clock, threw back the covers, got out of bed, and while checking messages on his backup phone, he walked into the bathroom.
