My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 353, Character Creation #4 (Two-part series, please vote!)
It was meeting time again, and the six kids from the Saviors gathered together, sitting in a corner of the room watching TV.

The animated film "Zootopia" was playing on TV. Sun Changkong lay limply on the somersault cloud, his cheeks squeezing out of the cloud.

She really didn't understand what was so fun about cartoons. Everyone else was watching intently, but she was the only one yawning constantly, wishing she could just lie down and go to sleep.

At this moment, the ceiling lights did not emit cool-toned light as usual; instead, they cast a warm orange glow on the children's faces.

It was like the setting sun, its afterglow falling on their faces.

The reason for this change is that after listening to Ji Minghuan's opinion, the staff made slight modifications to the ceiling lights while he was sleeping.

Now, you can switch between different lights simply by pressing a button on the wall; the warm light is less tiring to look at.

The movie is nearing its end. Officer Rabbit and Officer Fox are flirting in the same police car, with a sly smile on the fox's face.

Sun Changkong was already sleepy, her fiery red eyebrows and eyelids drooping. After a while, just as her eyelids were about to close, the metal door of the cell suddenly opened, the rumbling sound making her tremble.

Her eyes widened, her little tiger teeth trembled, and she put her hands to her ears as if facing a formidable enemy, as if she were about to pull the golden cudgel out of her ears at any moment.

Mario was still engrossed in playing Ace Attorney when the other five kids all turned to look at him.

What came into view was still the woman with her hair in a bun and wearing a white coat, instead of the bespectacled man who smelled of disinfectant.

Koojena yawned, then smacked her lips and said, "Children... I'm back."

"Why is it you again?" Ji Minghuan glanced at her and asked curiously, "The tutor is here, shouldn't you have already finished get off work? Does the tutor know that he has a bad reputation here, so he plans to find someone to cover his shifts long-term?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my supervisor is in a bad mood and wants to be alone, so he asked me to keep you company."

After saying that, Keojie put her hands into the pockets of her white coat and leaned back against the door frame. "Come on, I'm going to show you around some new places today."

"A new place?" Kong Youling picked up her paintbrush and wrote in her notebook.

"Can't you speak now? Why do you still need to write?" Ji Minghuan asked her.

Kong Youling paused for a moment, put down her paintbrush and notebook, and said softly, "I'm used to it."

Her voice was soft and gentle, just like the words she wrote. When she spoke, it was like a light snowflake brushing against your cheek, making you feel refreshed and cool.

"A new map area has been unlocked?" Mario finally finished the game and looked up at Koogenna to ask.

“Mario, you’re talking like you’re playing a game,” Filio chuckled.

"Where is the new place?" Sun Changkong, sitting cross-legged on the somersault cloud, turned his head and asked.

Shang Xiaochi remained unmoved.

She frowned, her eyes slightly lowered, and a small beauty mark at the corner of her eye made her look rather aloof. She consistently resisted staying at the Salvation Society's base and disliked interacting with the adults in the Salvation Society even more.

“A new place is a new place. Why are you bunch of kids talking so much? Just follow me.” Keojiena said impatiently, one hand on her hip.

"Kogena, be gentle with them," the instructor's voice came over the loudspeaker.

“Mentor, instead of supervising my work, why don’t you just step in yourself?” Koojena sighed.

"Chang Kong, you're the leader. Lead them and keep up with Ke Aojiena. Don't let anyone fall behind," the instructor instructed.

Sun Changkong was instantly wide awake. Having grown up as a wild child in the mountains, she disliked activities like watching movies that required sitting still for long periods; to her, it was torture. She longed for some novel and exciting place to go.

"Why does this sound a bit like 'Wukong, you're the eldest brother, take Bajie and Wujing and follow the White Dragon Horse'? So, is our mentor actually Tang Sanzang? If we don't obey, he recites the Tightening-Headband Mantra for us, one mind control technique after another," Ji Minghuan complained.

The mentor remained silent.

"What are you babbling about, Ji Minghuan? Since the instructor has said so, everyone hurry up and come up." Sun Changkong snorted and patted the somersault cloud under his butt.

Suddenly, the rolling white cloud stretched several times its original length, resembling a snow-white Chinese dragon. It twisted and turned in mid-air above the prison cell, swaying its long tail.

Shang Xiaochi was taken aback.

Then she began to tremble, like a wary little wildcat staring intently at the Somersault Cloud.

She had a very bad impression of Sun Changkong's somersault cloud; she had almost been knocked away by it while eating her birthday cake.

Sun Changkong suddenly reached out his hand to her. Shang Xiaochi hesitated for a moment, then grasped her right hand. Sun Changkong pulled her onto the surging cloud dragon.

So, the children in the cell all boarded the long, dragon-shaped somersault cloud. The cloud drifted slowly in the air, carrying them behind Koogena into the brightly lit corridor.

They were all forced to close their eyes and raise their arms to shield their faces from the oncoming light. Sun Changkong listened to Ke Aojiena's leisurely footsteps and quietly controlled his somersault cloud to follow behind her.

It saved me the effort of walking.

The group followed silently behind Keojiena. After a while, Keojiena stopped and turned to face one of the metal doors in the corridor.

She swiped her ID card in the card slot, and the door opened.

What came into view was a space so large it was comparable to several football fields. Despite its immense size, it was entirely a silvery-white expanse.

The surroundings were empty, the floor was smooth, and the ceiling was clean, with nothing special about it.

"What kind of place is this?" Ji Minghuan opened his eyes and looked around at the new place.

He asked, puzzled, "Is there any difference between this and my cell? It feels even worse than my cell, at least there's a TV in there, but there's nothing here."

"Don't worry, you'll see in a bit," Keojiena said. "This is an environmental simulation space created using supernatural abilities. Didn't some of you want to see the sea? Or glaciers? In short, it can all be achieved here." As she spoke, she tossed a remote control out of her white coat and tossed it to them.

"Oh! That sounds amazing!" Sun Changkong took the remote control.

"What's so fun about this?" Mario said casually. "You can experience much more in games and movies. It's a pity... some idiots just can't appreciate the charm of virtual products."

"Who are you calling an idiot?" Sun Changkong snapped.

"So you're already jumping to conclusions?" Mario ignored her and continued playing his game with his head down.

But then the somersaulting dragon he was sitting on suddenly wiggled its rear, causing Mario to lose his balance and fall face down.

Fortunately, he protected the game console.

Kong Youling lowered her red eyes and carefully examined the remote control in Sun Changkong's hand. She saw that there were several buttons on it, labeled "Snowy Day", "Sea", "Cliff", and "Autumn Day".

"So it was achieved using superpowers?" Ji Minghuan was taken aback. "I thought it was some kind of high-tech stuff."

For some reason, a character suddenly came to mind at that moment.

Among the four Salvation Society spies planted in Rainbow Wing, there is one codenamed "Polar Scholar," whose name is Karina. Her special ability is to create a polar space and selectively trap surrounding enemies inside.

Very few people in the world can use supernatural abilities to alter the spatial environment.

“Yes, it’s a degraded version of the ability of one of the Rainbow Wings undercover agents,” Koojena said. “Oh no… I can’t tell you that.”

"The mentor said all the undercover agents are dead. Could they be clones?" Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow and pressed for an answer.

"Anyway, don't worry about the principles for now, just have fun." Keojiena said, pursed her lips, turned and left, and the metal door closed behind her.

"Try it, try it!" Philio smirked, his tail sweeping across his somersault cloud.

"Don't rush, let me study it." Sun Changkong sat on the somersault cloud, playing with the remote control, and pressed the "ocean" button. Suddenly, a burst of light filled the enclosed space.

When they opened their eyes again, the scenery around them had changed: the sea, the beach, the bright sun, and the seawater rushing in, wetting the sand.

Ji Minghuan was stunned. He looked up and around, and the whole world had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Sun Changkong frowned warily, lowered the position of her somersault cloud, leaned down from the cloud, and carefully reached out to scoop up a handful of soft, damp sand from the beach. Only when she watched the sand slip through her fingers did her tightly furrowed brows relax, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

“It’s the ocean!” she exclaimed.

At that moment, she put away her somersault cloud, and the children fell onto the wet sand, their bottoms getting instantly soaked.

Under the sunlight, seawater carrying seashells rushed over once again, washing over their bodies, soaking their hospital gowns, icy cold, and with a slightly salty taste.

Without a doubt, this was genuine seawater. Ji Minghuan came to her senses and muttered, "Wow, how did they do that? Could there be a superhuman hiding in this space?"

The children sat there, looking at each other blankly, in a tranquil world where the sound of the crashing waves never ceased. Sunlight swept in, filtering through the gaps in the coconut palm leaves and shining directly on their heads.

The world was so bright and dazzling that they had to squint to see everything in front of them.

At this moment, Ji Minghuan was suddenly startled. His vision was suddenly covered by a layer of mercury-silver, and then everything around him stopped.

"This is?"

He raised his head and looked around.

In this deathly silent world, he heard shouts that seemed to come from near and far.

"elder brother……"

"What the hell?"

The moment Ji Minghuan had this thought, everything around her returned to normal. The summer sun once again enveloped everything in the world, and the beach was like a giant furnace.

Kong Youling sat on the beach with her knees bent, cupped the sand in her hands, and felt the tide flowing through her palms.

She turned to look at Ji Minghuan, and said blankly, "It's the sea..."

"Yes, this should be the ocean, right?" Ji Minghuan said in a daze.

He wondered, what was that just now? Time stopped? How could that be?
Only at this moment did the children's expressions finally change from blank to surprised.

"The ocean, the ocean, the ocean—"

Sun Changkong jumped up and ran on the beach, faster and faster, until finally, with a "plop," she plunged headfirst into the icy seawater.

Her fiery red hair spread out like seaweed, and gurgling bubbles rose from the seabed.

"Hey Hey hey……"

Just when Ji Minghuan thought she was about to drown, she suddenly popped her head out of the sea with a "plop," revealing a playful smile and her little tiger teeth.

"What are you afraid of? If we drown, the somersault cloud will save us!" she shouted. "Come and play too!"

Filio's eyes lit up, and he started running on all fours on the beach. However, he seemed to be afraid of water, so he didn't dare to go into the sea like Sun Changkong. He only dared to run around on the beach at full speed, leaving behind a series of footprints.

"Wow... this place is really realistic, although it's still not as good as the game scene I created with SkyDrive." Mario turned his head and looked around, saying in a low voice.

"After all, you can even create Jurassic World," Ji Minghuan thought to himself.

Shang Xiaochi was the last to come to her senses. She said blankly, "Traitor, is this really the sea?"

Ji Minghuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "It doesn't count. We can't surrender to our mentor. We agreed to watch the real show..." Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly scooped up a handful of seawater and splashed it at him. Ji Minghuan silently closed his eyes.

With a "plop," his bangs were soaked, and seawater flowed down his chin into his hospital gown.

When Ji Minghuan opened her eyes again, a helpless look appeared beneath her wet scalp.

"Penguin Monster, you're doomed." He grabbed a handful of sand, stood up, looked at the white-haired girl, and ran into the sea.

"Don't you dare bully Little Ling!" Sun Changkong shouted, and his somersault cloud crashed into her head, causing Ji Minghuan to fall into the sea.

Shang Xiaochi was stunned for a moment, then slowly got up and carefully walked into the sea.

She lowered her eyes, staring blankly as the seawater gradually soaked her trouser legs, and for some reason her eyes suddenly reddened.

“It’s the sea…” she murmured. Children in hospital gowns splashed and played in the seawater, while Mario sat carefully on the beach, protecting his game console.

Twenty minutes later, the surrounding scenery suddenly vanished like a faded photograph, and the world before their eyes returned to that empty, silvery-white space. Sand remained on their palms and hospital gowns.

"That's it?" Sun Changkong stared wide-eyed in disappointment.

"Woof woof woof woof." Philo lowered his face and barked a few times in a low voice.

"Hurry up and finish, I can't take it anymore."

Mario said listlessly, patted the game console, and poured out the water.

The metal door opened. The experimenters entered and took the children out of the room one by one.

Ji Minghuan was the last to leave.

He waved goodbye to them one by one.

"Bye-bye, traitor," Shang Xiaochi said.

"Bye-Bye."

"Ji Minghuan, let's go play in the snow next time!" Sun Changkong said.

"This isn't real snow; it's just something created using superpowers to fool people."

"Bye-bye." Kong Youling wrote in her notebook.

"No writing allowed."

"Coo coo coo coo." Kong Youling looked up from behind the notebook and said softly.

"Bye-bye." Ji Minghuan smiled.

After saying that, he winked at Kong Youling, then followed the experimenter back to his cell. He took a shower, changed into a new hospital gown, dried his hair, and lay back down on the bed, putting his hands behind his head.

In the darkness, he stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind filled with a jumble of thoughts.

"So what was that strange feeling just now? Could it be... my younger brother whom I've never met?"

After thinking for a while, he decided to probe his brother's situation again when he met with his mentor, and then slowly closed his eyes.

In the darkness, he brought up the gear panel in the lower right corner of his view.

"Well then, let's hope we can get a good fortune this time too."

Ji Minghuan prayed silently, then switched to the last page of the panel and found the eye-catching option marked in red and black text—【Create Game Character】.

The current number of split points held is 22.

[Do you wish to immediately consume 16 "Split Points" to create a brand new game character in the real world?]

[Note: Because you selected "Delayed mech generation" in the previous option, the probability of obtaining a "Perfect-grade mech" will be greatly increased during this character creation process.]

Ji Minghuan glanced at the requirements for the split point and then clicked on the option below the question.

【Yes. 】

Then everything went black before his eyes. Both his physical body and the perspective of the game machine vanished without a trace, as if he had been abandoned by the entire world.

A sense of loneliness arises spontaneously.

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

This was the last sound he heard, like a cold steel needle piercing his brain.

[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.]

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

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

This is also an old friend of Ji Minghuan.

At this very moment, a line of text composed of blurred pixels is displayed in the center of the panel:
[Should we begin creating the "fourth game character" (unit number four) immediately?]

Without hesitation, Ji Minghuan dragged 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".]

紧随其后，提示框的下方忽然刷出了“1”“2”“3”“4”“5”“6”六个选项。

"Here we go again. I didn't get it when I created the third machine. Can't I get lucky this time?" Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan simply closed his eyes and almost instinctively dragged his index finger mouse to click on the number in the options.

【The number "3" has been selected.】

Suddenly, a red and black die appeared in the darkness, with a number engraved on each side.

The die shot upwards, twirled in the air, and fell to the ground with a "thud," rolling two or three times before slowly coming to a stop.

On the top, a blood-red number—"6"—was displayed.

Unfortunately, you lost the dice-rolling contest and did not gain any further decision-making power regarding the files.

"Then forget it." Ji Minghuan curled his lips indifferently. "We can't expect that we won't be able to produce a perfect-level mecha in both files. Let me see just how strong this thing really is."

[Note: A total of two "Perfect-grade mechs" appeared in the generated "Character" profile (90% probability).]

"Huh?" Ji Minghuan was stunned. "So there are two files in total, and both are perfect-level mechs?"

[Then, please choose one of the following two "identity registrations," which will serve as your "fourth game machine" and make its debut in the theater called "Real World."]

[No. 1 Role Record]

【Name: ? ? ? (Perfect-grade mecha)】

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 14 years old]

【Race: Yellow race】

[Category: Superpowered Individual]

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

[Initial rating: S+]

[Background Introduction: You are an immortal being who never ages, traversing the river of time and witnessing the myriad aspects of human life.]

The game character has only one "main growth path" to choose from:

Main Storyline 1: The Immortal.

"Immortal?" Ji Minghuan thought to himself, "There's too little information to determine the value of this mecha. Let's take a look at the second file first." With that thought, he lowered his eyes to look at file number two on the panel.
.
[Character Profile No. 2]

【Name: Little Nian Beast (Perfect-level Mecha)】

Gender: Male

[Age: 19 years old]

[Biotype: Nian Beast]

[Extraordinary Category: Demon]

"A demon? This is the first time I've encountered a character profile like this, and it's... the Nian Beast?" Ji Minghuan was taken aback.

He certainly understood what the term "Nian Beast" meant to demons.

After all, Bai Tanlang once mentioned that the most powerful demon in China is the "Nian Beast King," who stands at the top of the entire demon ecosystem and is a terrifying being.

"If it really is the Nian beast, wouldn't that mean we'd have to go to war with the Lake Hunters?"

Ji Minghuan shook his head, pulling himself out of his jumbled thoughts, and continued reading.

[Basic Attributes: Strength: S++; Speed: S++; Spirit: S]

[Additional Note: This character has a "human form" and a "Nian beast form." Attribute values ​​will change depending on the form.]

[Initial rating: S+]

[Background Introduction: You are the only offspring of the "Great Lord of the Year Beast" and also the legendary son of the Year Beast. From the day you were born, all demons have been wary of you. They know that one day you will grow up to become a more powerful and ferocious being than the Great Lord of the Year Beast, and then take over the position of "Great Lord of Demons" from your father and become the new ruler.]

But when you were nine years old, you left the deep mountains and came to wander in the human world. To this day, you have not returned home for a full ten years.

Now, during your travels, you suddenly hear that the strongest exorcist among humans, "Lake Hunter," is about to go to war with the Nian Beast King.

The demons lived in constant fear, all understanding what this battle would mean.

Thus, a choice presented itself: return to the mountains and become your father's support; or continue your wandering life, casting aside the fate of your race.

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

Main Story 1: The Demon Wanderer;
Main Storyline Two: The Son of the Nian Beast.

“Character Profile One’s defining characteristic is ‘immortality.’ It seems suitable as a meat shield, but the combat power might not be strong enough. Moreover, if someone uses special means to imprison me, the so-called ‘immortality’ will lose its meaning.” Ji Minghuan thought, “What I need is considerable short-term combat power, and this combat power must be strong enough to help me break through the Salvation Society’s defenses in half a month.”

With his thoughts settled here, Ji Minghuan had already decided on his answer. He dragged his index finger across the mouse and long-pressed the second character's profile.

The file went from dark to light, and finally a huge burst of rainbow light rushed towards him, filling Ji Minghuan's pupils.

[You have selected character profile number two – "Little Nian Beast," who will make his debut in the real world as your fourth game character.]

Please choose one of the following main storylines: "The Demon Wanderer" or "The Child of the Nian Beast".

"Does this need to be said?"

Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow, swiped his index finger across the mouse, and clicked on "Child of the Nian Beast".

He smirked. "If possible, it would be best if we could lure the Lake Hunters and the Nian Beast army to the Salvation Society base and make them my allies."

[The character's second growth path—"Child of the Nian Beast"—has been selected, and a unique character development system has been generated.]

[Please wait a moment. Your fourth game mecha, "Little Nian Beast," is being generated in the real world, and its existence is being made "reasonable"...]

[Coming soon to "Haifan Mountain"... The final countdown begins shortly.]

【3...】

【2...】

【1...】

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