My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 230 The Red Dragon's Shadow in the Library (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

August 1st, fifteen hours after the destruction of Whale Court. Due to the time difference, it was already late at night in Lijing, but still afternoon in Bergen.

Stepping out of the underground tavern, Xia Pingzhou and Ayase Origami walked side by side on the street by the harbor.

The road was bathed in the warm midday sun. The two of them enjoyed the sea breeze, gazing at the distant scenery. Turning their heads, they could see the colorful wooden houses of Bryggen Wharf in their entirety.

The sea stretches to the horizon, its surface shimmering in the sunlight, with the sails of fishing boats swaying in the wind.

In the sunlight, the girl in the kimono had skin so white it was almost transparent. The hair at her temples was blown by the sea breeze, swaying gently like bird feathers and tickling her fair cheeks.

A moment later, she released Xia Pingzhou's sleeve.

"Feeling better?" She didn't answer, but instead wrote words in mid-air with a piece of paper.

Xia Pingzhou absentmindedly looked up at the words formed by the pages.

After a long silence, he spoke up: "I just didn't expect that the kids I met in the underground bar would be related to the person they were looking for; it's not surprising that Bloodline and White Wolf are anxious after searching for so long."

The girl in the kimono lowered her eyes, looking at the long shadows of the two people stretched on the ground by the sunlight.

She seemed to be trying to empathize with the two people's feelings, but unfortunately, she was really slow in this regard, probably just like a doll trying to understand a human.

Finally, she just whispered:

"Even if you disappear, I will still look for you."

Xia Pingzhou was silent for a moment: "What if they can't find me?"

"Keep searching."

What if we still can't find it?

"Keep looking."

"Then you'll become a long-lived, love-obsessed old woman, just like the Bloodline."

"No, I'm a short-lived old woman who chases cats... because I'm not a vampire, so I don't live long."

"That's a pity, I'm going to disappoint you."

"What's disappointing?"

"I will not disappear."

Xia Pingzhou spoke softly, then picked up his phone and sent a message to the hacker.

Xia Pingzhou: Are you still alive?

[Hacker: Finally remembered your brother... You're lucky, with that young lady helping you escape, but what about me? I'm afraid I won't be leaving this tavern today; that old woman and White Wolf still haven't let me go.]

[Xia Pingzhou: You'd better watch yourself. Explain what happened back then.]

[Hacker: I give up, I'll never recommend a bar to you again in my life. I really didn't know you'd cause this mess. You're practically my jinx!]

Xia Pingzhou stopped looking at his phone and turned to look at Ayase Origami: "Aren't you tired? We haven't had a break since this operation ended. You really are superhuman."

"I'm a little sleepy." She yawned.

"Then let's go back and rest."

With tears of exhaustion welling up in her eyes, the girl in the kimono slowly nodded. They walked back to the hotel in Bergen and checked into the room arranged by the hacker.

Even before the Norwegian sun sets, they close their eyes to rest very early.

At this very moment, in another corner of the world, Agubaru and Caesar wandered the streets of Lijing.

Unit 1 and Unit 2 were both lying in bed, leaving only this one still acting like a babysitter, introducing Caesar to the flowers and plants of the human world.

The little shark hid in Caesar's pocket.

The man and the shark wandered aimlessly through the market, discussing how to make money in the human world in the future, otherwise they would have no way to find food, drink and lodging outside once their savings ran out.

Then I'll probably really be homeless!

Not long ago, Caesar was a pampered prince; it would be truly heartbreaking if he suddenly became a homeless man.

As for why a prince of a feudal kingdom and a shark from the ocean world would possess savings in the human world, that story begins before Caesar left Bergen:
At that time, the leader of the White Crow Brigade took the initiative to approach him and became friends with him.

Qi Yuanli stood on the Bryggen dock, his hands in his trench coat pockets. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned to Caesar and asked if he wanted to bring Shark along to join the White Raven Brigade, since there was a spot available in the brigade.

Caesar shook his head, declining his offer.

He said he plans to travel the world with Agubaru to collect generational fragments, just like Li Qingping did before.

The commander didn't press the matter, but before parting, he gave Caesar a cell phone, saying that there was a fake account and some savings on the phone, and that he could contact him when convenient, as he didn't mind getting to know some capable people.

Caesar didn't really understand what the White Raven Brigade did, and he didn't even know that the Black Death fragment holder who poisoned his father, "Bernardo," was actually a member of the White Raven Brigade half an hour ago.

However, Bernardo died tragically in the collapsed royal palace, so Caesar would never know about it.

Caesar was delighted to become friends with the Confederate and accepted the gifts he gave him.

Only Agubaru knew that Qi Yuanli gave them a cell phone so that hackers could monitor them 24/7 and test whether they could learn about the true nature of Black Chrysalis through them.

However, this cunning shark saw through their scheme but didn't say anything. It was already calculating in its mind—it planned to wait until the person and the shark had used up all the money in the phone before swallowing it whole.

The main purpose was to test whether the phone was tasty and suited the tastes of the Eternal Abyss Shark Clan. If it was tasty, then it could sit at the same table with the silver-swallowing rat, which was criticized for having "pica," and bring some human warmth to the silver-swallowing rat. The truth made men silent and women weep.

In conclusion, it is truly lamentable that the third son of a sovereign and the king of the seas have fallen to such a state.

Finally, Agubaru suggested that they could perform on the streets, but Caesar waved his hand, saying that it would be too high-profile and would attract bad people, such as shark hunters from the human world!
"Then what should we do?" Agubaru asked. "We can't just keep going hungry, can we?"

Caesar stood on the street, staring at the little shark in his pocket, their eyes wide open.

“We can be bodyguards,” Caesar suggested, “Didn’t Li Qingping say that many bodyguards at auctions work for big underworld bosses?”

"Oh, so do you know what happened to those bodyguards in the end?" Yagubaru said quietly. "Want Shark to tell you?"

"Li Qingping told me that someone performed a magic trick at the auction, putting a playing card into the bodyguards' pockets, and then with a bang, the bodyguards disappeared... Japanese bodyguards are amazing, they can even perform magic tricks."

Caesar spoke with a straight face, clearly confusing bodyguards with guests.

The little shark raised its fin and covered its face: "I'm starting to worry about our world travel. Maybe we should go back to the ocean world with the shark. It's a better place for you to live."

"Anyway, let's go to Japan first and see what Agubaru is like. Maybe those yakuza bosses will actually take us in," Caesar said.

“I think you just want to travel around. You’re really treating Shark like an airplane. Shark needs to be refueled too…” Little Shark sighed. “Let’s find a small hotel to stay in tonight and pay with your phone.”

"Ok."

Caesar nodded, his white hair and blue eyes attracting the attention of many onlookers along the way.

Even though cosplay exists in the 21st century, his extraordinary appearance still draws astonished glances, forcing Shark to bury his head even deeper.

After the man and the shark entered the hotel, all three mechs were finally settled in.

The little shark jumped out of the pocket with a thud, lay down on the sofa, let out a long sigh, and then turned to look at Caesar beside him: "After that, have we just been traveling aimlessly, collecting fragments?"

“There’s one more thing I want to do.” Caesar sat cross-legged on the bed.

"what's up?"

“Didn’t I mention the ‘Light-Eating Bee’ to you before?” Caesar said.

"Light-devouring bees?"

Agubaru raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering that Caesar had mentioned this name to it before, saying that it was an extremely dangerous magical creature.

Decades ago, the Light-Eating Bees fought a great battle with the Royal Court Team in an attempt to seize control of the Whale's Garden from humans. In the end, the Royal Court Team drove them out of the Whale's mouth at the cost of almost total annihilation.

However, the most dangerous and most prolific queen bee is still alive; she has escaped to the human world.

At that time, the Royal Court team had at least one or two Cataclysmic-level members, which shows how dangerous this magical creature species was.

“Yes,” Caesar said. “My father once talked in his sleep and said that his biggest regret was letting the queen of the Light-Eating Bees go. He said that if the Light-Eating Bees were allowed to multiply, they might even destroy the human world.”

"Destroying the world, Shark, this sounds familiar."

The little shark nodded and said with a sigh.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Aguru?"

"So next, we'll travel the world while searching for generational fragments to improve our strength and prepare to rescue Shark's friends from that lab. We'll also find this race called 'Light-Eating Bees' along the way."

“Yes, that’s my plan.” Caesar nodded.

"Goodnight, Caesar, I'm a little tired."

Goodnight, Aguru.

The little shark lunged forward, its head plunging into the soft sheets. It closed its eyes, its weary consciousness gradually sinking.

A short while later, Ji Minghuan arrived at the library in the spiritual world.

At that moment, something extremely important suddenly flashed through his mind: the notification box that popped up when the third unit devoured the fragment of the strange tale—"Red Dragon Wales":

[Because it absorbed a mutated fragment, a "new strange consciousness" has been loaded into its mental space.]

"Is it true or false? Could it be..." Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows. At that moment, he suddenly heard a loud panting sound.

So he silently raised his head and looked towards the corner of the library.

At that moment, a huge red dragon lay prostrate on the ground, its enormous wings blocking out the sunlight streaming in from the window. It wore oversized reading glasses on its nose.

At this moment, it was bowing its head, quietly flipping through a small book that it had taken from the bookshelf.

The red dragon raised its claws and carefully turned the pages. After a while, it looked up from behind its reading glasses and gazed at the boy in the hospital gown standing in front of it.

"Excuse me, what are you?" Ji Minghuan was stunned.

The dragon slowly raised its head, its ruby-like eyes gazing intently at Ji Minghuan.

"Are you Qingping's friend?" it asked.

　Asking for a monthly ticket.

　　
　　
　　I'd like to recommend a novel—"We Promised to Form a Band for Life, What the Heck is Dragon Raja?"

　　It's a fanfiction about MyGo and Dragon Raja. If you're interested, you can check it out.
