My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 131: Creation of Game Character #3 (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The time was the early morning of July 21st.

Just a second ago, Ji Minghuan's consciousness was still above Tokyo Bay.

He and Origami Ayase stood one after the other on the railing of the Rainbow Bridge.

The two ignored the traffic police's whistles and the honking of passing cars behind them, and just kept walking along the bridge railing.

It was like two little children skipping and hopping along the zebra crossing, as if they had left the noise of the whole world behind.

The gentle sea breeze caressed their silhouettes.

As they turned to gaze at the silhouette of Mount Fuji on the horizon, they discussed which country they should visit next.

Britain, Iceland? Or France? Or perhaps Norway? Ji Minghuan suggested.

Origami Ayase's cool, flowing hair was lifted by the sea breeze, and her kimono sleeves fluttered in the wind. Without turning her head, she said, "Wherever you want to go, we'll go."

The next second, just as Ji Minghuan was about to answer, he suddenly heard a strange knocking sound.

The sudden, loud knocking on the door overlapped with the continuous sound of the ocean waves.

Ji Minghuan turned her head and looked around. All she could see was Tokyo Bay shimmering in the sunlight. She thought to herself that it was impossible for a knocking sound to come from the beach; that would be a bit too absurd, like something out of "The Truman Show."

So, on a whim, he synchronized his consciousness with Gu Wenyu, the first mecha.

The interior of the Roppongi Grand Hotel.

Ji Minghuan slowly rolled over on the plain white bed, falling off with the blanket. Then, like a maggot, she rolled from the carpet toward the door, still wrapped in the white blanket.

He raised his hand, extended the restraint strap from his sleeve, and pressed the doorknob down with a "click".

The door opened, and he opened one eye, wanting to see who was disturbing his peaceful sleep so early in the morning.

The figure that came into view startled him.

That's right... it's Gu Qiye.

Ji Minghuan peeked out from under the covers, curiously examining Gu Qiye.

The older brother was wearing the same outfit today: a blue arc-patterned pink T-shirt and casual trousers.

The posture was still the same: arms crossed, leaning against the corridor wall, head down, playing on his phone. But Ji Minghuan really felt like she had seen a ghost.

"Disembowelment" doesn't even begin to describe the injuries Gu Qiye suffered at the auction last night. They were so severe that she should have been in Tokyo's best hospital for two or three days before even considering getting out of bed.

But to his surprise, after just one night, his older brother was already lively and energetic, and looked quite well, as if he were enjoying a peaceful life.

"As expected of a near-disaster level... its self-healing ability is somewhat abnormal."

Ji Minghuan thought to himself, "But my brother is certified by the association as a 'Catastrophe-level' potential, so it's not surprising that his self-healing ability is stronger than that of an ordinary quasi-Catastrophe-level."

Of course, it's also possible that the Japan Exorcists Association has superior medical support. After all, Ji Minghuan personally took Gu Qiye to the association last night.

Gu Qiye looked up from his phone and at his younger brother lying on the floor, who was staring at him with one eye open. He was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Why are you lying on the carpet? Did you sleep here last night?"

"Not fully awake... We elementary school students just like to express our rebellion against the world through absurd performance art."

As Ji Minghuan spoke, she struggled to get out of the blanket wrapped around her, slowly got up from the ground, and rubbed her dark circles.

Gu Qiye smiled and reminded her, "You're a high school student now, not a primary school student."

"A high school student who's scared to death is worse than an elementary school student," Ji Minghuan said inexplicably, then asked listlessly, "So what do you want with a high school student like me?"

"Let's go back to China today. I booked the tickets last night and we'll leave at noon today."

"Then let's go."

"Okay, and could you also ask Xiaomai for me on WeChat?"

"what?"

"Ask her if she wants to come back to China with us." Gu Qiye shrugged. "It's not good to always rely on others to take care of her. If she wants to stay with a friend after we get back, that's fine too. At least the airfare should be paid for by family, right?"

Ji Minghuan was stunned.

Then he tilted his head, leaned it against the doorframe, and said irritably, "So you already knew she was in Japan... You should have said so earlier, otherwise why would I be pretending in front of you?"

"I was lucky to run into her and her teacher while I was eating barbecue," Gu Qiye said casually. "That's when I found out that you two had been working together to keep it from me. If I hadn't been lucky, I probably still wouldn't know I'd been fooled."

Ji Minghuan raised his hands in surrender: "I must solemnly declare that I was threatened by my younger sister, so I suggest you don't take your anger out on me."

“I know that’s just Xiaomai’s personality. If you disagree with her, she’ll definitely start making a fuss.”

"Yeah, right?"

As she spoke, Ji Minghuan looked away and suddenly recalled Su Zimai's red eyes in the bookstore.

He thought to himself: My sister is a magical creature even more magical than magical beasts. Sure enough, she won't be magical after a beating.

As the two were chatting, Gu Zhuo'an, wearing a light jacket and with his hands in his pockets, walked over from the end of the corridor.

He put one hand on his hip, slowly raised his face, looked at the two of them, then lowered his head to stroke the stubble on his face. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you leaving?"

Gu Qiye remained silent for a while, then nodded, turned to look at Gu Zhuoan, and immediately changed her tone: "Yes... the flight is at noon. We'll go to the airport to wait after we finish eating."

At this moment, for some reason, the dark figure that had flashed before his eyes last night when he was fighting to the death at the auction flashed through his mind...

Due to excessive blood loss, Gu Qiye was nearly blind. Although her vision was blurry, the Exorcist Association later said that the reinforcement was very likely:

—"Ghost Bell".

They also revealed that some people in the Japanese underworld might know Oni-jaeden, but these people were unwilling to reveal their identities.

After all, Gui Zhong is an internationally wanted criminal. If the underworld admits to colluding with Gui Zhong, they will definitely get into trouble. If they don't admit it, then no matter how much the authorities investigate, it will be useless.

In the end, it was still uncertain whether the rumor was true or false. To this day, Gu Qiye still doesn't know whether the person who saved her last night was Gui Zhong or not...

If that's true, then all of this is simply too unbelievable: a super criminal who has defeated him repeatedly actually stepped in to help him in that situation.
Even if it's a job for the underworld, would someone like Ghost Bell really do something against his conscience?

So when Gu Qiye woke up in the hospital room in the morning, he tossed and turned, unable to figure it out. Finally, he turned to look out the window and gazed at the clear sky, and suddenly everything in his heart was relieved.

"It's good that I'm still alive..." That was his only thought at the time.

He wanted to come back and see his family first, so he told the people from the Exorcist Association to prove that he was perfectly healthy. Then he took off his hospital gown and ran back to the hotel without even taking the car the association had prepared.

"Let's wash up and then go." Gu Qiye walked over and patted Gu Wenyu on the shoulder.

"it is good."

What does wheat say?

They told us to go first.

That afternoon, the three members of the Gu family boarded a plane at the Tokyo airport.

Sitting in the cabin, Ji Minghuan ate fruit with a fork while resting her chin on her hand and looking out at the sea of ​​clouds.

To be honest, after being the ninja version of Faceless Black Chrysalis for so long, Ji Minghuan has started to miss his cumbersome mask and trench coat.

At least when you wear it, you won't look so much like a big, fluttering moth; you'll have a bit more of a human sense of dignity.

At this moment, his second unit had already accompanied Origami Ayase onto the human smuggling ship prepared by the hackers, and they finally decided on Venice as their destination.

It seems that Bloodline, Andrew, and White Wolf are also going to that city for vacation.

It just so happens that the area is rich in demons. Xia Pingzhou hasn't even contracted his second demon yet. Everything sounds perfect here. Not only are there monsters to spawn, but there are also powerful players leading the way.

So, Unit 2 was on a boat, Unit 1 was on an airplane, and Ji Minghuan's main body was lying in a dark, locked cell.

With all three bodies idle, Ji Minghuan finally managed to find some free time to do something important:
— Create a third game machine.

The reason for such careful selection of the time to create the body is that during the creation process, his consciousness will be temporarily cut off from the outside world, and he will not be able to control any body.

If the timing is not chosen well, it may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, or even lead to a major disaster.

"Well... I hope I can draw a good lot."

Ji Minghuan prayed silently, clicked the gear icon in the lower right corner of his field of vision to bring up the system panel, switched to the last page, and found the most prominent option marked in red and black text—【Create Game Character】.

[Do you want to consume 9 "Split Points" to create a brand new game character in the real world? ]

Ji Minghuan glanced at the requirements of the split point and directly selected the option below the question—[Yes].

Then everything went black before his eyes, and both his physical body and the perspective of the game machine vanished without a trace.

[You are about to enter the "Game Character Creation" stage.]

This was the last sound he heard.

[You have entered the "Game Character Creation Space". During the character creation process, your consciousness will be unable to connect to your main body and your game character. If you need to log out urgently, please click the exclamation mark in the upper right corner of the field of view.]

The moment Ji Minghuan opened his eyes, he met his "index finger mouse" again after a very long time.

Then, slowly emerging from the darkness was a panel with a background of interwoven red and black. Its appearance was just like the UI of an RPG game.

At this moment, a line of text made of pixels was written in the center of the panel:
[Do you want to begin creating your third game character immediately?]

Without hesitation, Ji Minghuan dragged the mouse with his index finger and clicked the "Yes" option below.

[Next, a dice roll will be performed. Please choose a random number between "1" and "6".]

随后下方刷出了“1”“2”“3”“4”“5”“6”六个选项。

"Here we go again... Will I get lucky this time?"

Ji Minghuan tilted her head and, relying on her intuition, clicked on option [5]. [Number "5" selected.]

A red and black dice suddenly appeared in the darkness, a number engraved on each side. It shot upward, tumbling through the air and falling to the ground with a clatter. It bounced two or three times before slowly coming to rest.

On the upper side, there was a blood-red number - "6".

Unfortunately, you lost this dice-guessing game.

"Can't afford it?"

Ji Minghuan frowned, his brows not actually furrowing.

[Note: Two "rare characters" have appeared in the generated "character" profile.]

"They've reached a settlement."

Ji Minghuan relaxed his non-existent brow.

[Then, please choose one of the following two "identity registrations," which will become your third game character, making their debut in a theater called "The Real World."]

[No. 1 Role Record]

【Name: Anonymous (Rare Character)】

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 20 years old]

【Ethnicity: Caucasian】

Category: Anecdote Envoy (One of the three superhuman races, capable of obtaining "Anecdote Fragments" from secret Anecdote Realms around the world and using the various fragment powers from the "Anecdote Atlas" to fight)

Basic Attributes: Strength: C++; Speed: C++; Spirit: C++

[Initial evaluation: C++ level]

[Background Information: You are a power-hungry member of the "Black Death Cult," whose leader is the infamous and evil Oddity Master "Bernardo Edward." Bernardo is the holder of the generational Oddity "Black Death," and is corrupted by fragments of the Oddity Master "Black Death," leaving him with only a few years to live.]

If you can become Bernardo's last disciple, then if nothing unexpected happens, you will inherit the generational fragment of wonder—"The Black Death"—from "Bernardo" and become the new leader of the new generation.

The prerequisite is that you must survive within the Black Death Cult and hold out until the day Bernardo is completely consumed by the fragments of wonder.

Of course, you could also choose to lie low within the Black Death Cult, seeking an opportunity to kill Bernardo and seize the fragments of the Black Death from him in a more forceful manner.

[This game character has the following two "growth lines" to choose from:

Main storyline 1: Plague spreader;
Main Storyline Two: The Rebel (Renegade)

"What a lousy feeling..." Ji Minghuan thought, "Is it all just going around in circles with one generational wonder? Even if we get this wonder fragment called 'Black Death', so what?"

He sighed slightly: "And the key is that I want to enter the Whale Garden as soon as possible, but the natural position of this character is on the opposite side of the Whale Garden. Even if I want to infiltrate the Whale Garden as an undercover agent, it will take some time."

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan shifted his gaze and looked at the second panel in the darkness.
.
[Character Profile No. 2]

【Name: Aguru (Rare Character)】

Gender: Male

【age:? ? ? 】

[Biotype: Shark]

[Species Name: Eternal Abyss Shark]

[Extraordinary Category: Magical Creatures]

Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment: "What is this thing... Have I already been stripped of my human status?"

[Basic Attributes: Strength: D-rank; Speed: D-rank; Spirit: S-rank]

[Additional Note: This character's attribute values ​​will change when they transform into different body types.]

Initial rating: C

【Background introduction:
The "Eternal Abyss Shark" is a creature that inhabits the eternal abyss at the bottom of the sea. They were once the undisputed kings of the ocean.

Each Eternal Abyss Shark can become stronger by "devouring fragments of wonders".

Thus, collecting and devouring fragments of strange tales from the ocean became an essential path for every Eternal Abyss Shark to grow.

But the Eternal Abyss Shark did not rule the ocean for long before their natural enemy, the "Legendary Whale," appeared.

The legendary whale is a reddish-brown whale that can grow to 200 meters long. It is said that each legendary whale contains a bizarre and fantastical world inside its body that is inconsistent with its appearance, and it can even be called a new continent.

After thousands of years of war, only one "legendary whale" remained in the world.

At the same time, you are also the last remaining juvenile "Eternal Abyss Shark" in the world.

In order to avenge the world's last legendary whale, "Chicanao," you discover that a human race called "Wonderful Messengers" resides within the body of this legendary whale.

Within the ranks of the Strange Tales Envoys lies a royal family with absolute power, also known as the "Whale Royal Court."

The King and Queen of the Whale Kingdom had three sons, and "Caesar" was the youngest of them.

On Caesar's twelfth birthday, his father gave him a crystal ball.

The crystal ball contains a strange shark caught from the deep ocean – the "Nobel shark": juvenile Nobel sharks are only the size of an adult's palm and never grow to adult size.

Therefore, it can be kept inside a crystal ball and kept as a pet.

And you... the last "Eternal Abyss Shark" in the world, in order to blend into the body of the legendary whale, you shrunk your body countless times, disguised yourself as a palm-sized "Nobel Shark", created a chance encounter, deliberately got caught by the king's servants, and thus entered a small crystal ball.

Finally, as a birthday gift, you were sent by the king to the side of the third prince.

In the time that follows, you will spend a considerable amount of time inside the crystal ball, disguised as the Third Prince's beloved pet—an ordinary "Nobel Shark"—continuously observing the world within the whale's miniature garden and seeking an opportunity to break the deadlock.

During this time, you can devour fragments of wonders within the Whale's Garden to strengthen yourself and continuously accumulate power... waiting for the right opportunity.

Finally, it swallowed the last "legendary whale" in the world along with the entire whale garden, avenging the Eternal Abyss Shark clan and ending this millennia-long battle for ocean supremacy.

Or... you could choose to abandon your racial hatred and become a general in the Whale Garden, protecting this bizarre and wondrous world alongside the legendary royal family.

[This game character has the following two "growth lines" to choose from:

Main storyline 1: The Whaler Hunter;
Main Storyline Two: Guardian of the Miniature Garden.

After reading the background information, Ji Minghuan was greatly shocked and muttered, "Uh... so if I choose this 'Eternal Abyss Shark,' then my main quest is to eat the legendary whale?"

In that instant, he suddenly recalled the giant red whale, which looked like a battleship, that he had seen when he was following Li Qingping that day, and wondered how big the shark would have to be if it were to actually eat the legendary whale.
Isn't this too exaggerated?
However, if we disregard the promises made by the system and look solely at the panel attributes, the initial attribute values ​​of this shark named "Agubaru" are extremely low, even far inferior to Ji Minghuan's previous two game mechs.

Of course... it's very likely because this shark is in its juvenile stage.

Generally speaking, these game characters become stronger as they progress, while they are ridiculously weak in the early stages.

"Speaking of which, if I really swallowed the legendary whale, wouldn't all the wonders of the world be chasing after me to kill me?"

When Ji Minghuan's thoughts landed on this, she didn't feel panicked; instead, she became somewhat interested.

He smirked: "It's quite amusing to think about it this way, and it also allows me to infiltrate the Third Prince's inner circle and see what that brainless bastard Li Qingping is planning to do in the Whale Garden."

Without further hesitation, Ji Minghuan slid his index finger across the mouse in the darkness, pressing it on the file for a long time.

Gradually, the light enveloped every inch of skin on my fingertips, and then the text on the form changed from dark to light.

Finally, it burst forth with a burst of light that intertwined black and blue, resembling the colors of the deepest abyss.

[You have selected your second character profile – "Aguru," who will appear in the real world as your third game character.]

Please choose one of the following growth paths: "The Whale Hunter" or "The Guardian of the Small Garden".

Ji Minghuan slid his index finger across the mouse and clicked "Whaler" with a blank expression.

The reason is obvious: if he chooses the second main storyline, "Guardian of the Garden," his main quest will no longer be "Devouring the Legendary Whale," but "Protecting the Legendary Whale." It sounds like his growth potential is suddenly much lower, giving the feeling of going from a villainous boss to a guardian dog of the Mysterious Envoy.

Why not just eat the whale whole in one gulp... that way Li Qingping would be free too.

Seeing how much Li Qingping disliked the world of the Strange Tales Messenger, Ji Minghuan could take this opportunity to give him a little help by transforming into a great white shark and swallowing the world of the Strange Tales Messenger whole, thus relieving Li Qingping of his worries.

It’s good for you, me, and everyone, so why not do it?

The tale tellers will surely appreciate his good intentions; they shouldn't be narrow-minded, but should come out of the whale's belly and see a bigger world.

Of course, if those strange tales were eaten by sharks along with them, then let's pretend he didn't say anything.

[The character's first growth path—"Whaler"—has been selected, and a unique character development system has been generated.]

[Please wait a moment. Your third game machine, "Aguru," is being generated in the real world, and its existence is being made "reasonable"...]

[Coming soon to "Whale Garden"... The final countdown begins shortly.]

The moment the pupil number reached 0, Ji Minghuan's vision was engulfed by the sudden light.
