My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 40 Cooperation
Hearing the name "Blue Arc", Su Zimai was stunned for a moment.

Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Huh... that big blue electric rat?"

As Ke Qirui walked towards the stairs of the abandoned office building, he said, "Actually, the Japanese Exorcist Association has already negotiated with the Chinese Abnormal Association. They said that 'Blue Arc' will also be sent to guard this auction."

She chuckled, "Blue Arc is a reliable teammate. If I hadn't heard this news, I wouldn't have accepted this commission without knowing my own limitations."

Su Zimai followed her and said, "But isn't that guy extremely busy? How can he have time to come to Japan?"

"There's no way he wouldn't listen to the Deviants Association's request."

Su Zimai held his forehead and sighed, "I really don't like that big, power-hungry pretentious guy. I can't stand it anymore... Captain, are we really going to work with him? I'm afraid I'll be choked to death by his greasy quotes. To be honest, I don't know why he's so popular in China. I can't help but roll my eyes when I see my classmates being infatuated with him."

"After all, he's a national hero. Why are you so prejudiced against him?"

Su Zimai lowered his head and muttered, "Why don't the Japanese mafia borrow people from the United Nations? Wouldn't it be better to just call the Rainbow Wing people over? Seeing those disaster-level perverts from the Rainbow Wing, the White Crow Brigade wouldn't dare to take action, right?"

Ke Qirui patiently explained, "First, the Japanese underworld has a bad relationship with the United Nations, so it's impossible for them to ask for help. Secondly, an organization of Rainbow Wing's caliber wouldn't be used to protect an auction. That would be like using a bazooka to roast sweet potatoes."

"Well...it seems like Japan is doing well to have a big electric rat on its side."

"When you meet Blue Arc, don't call him 'Big Electric Rat'."

"Haha, I'm not stupid." Su Zimai disagreed.

As Ke Qirui walked toward the exit, she pulled her cigarette from her pocket, placed it between her lips, and took a drag. She said, "Come to think of it... I have some impression of that boy."

"Which one?"

"The guy in the hoodie. I met him at the Exorcist Association two years ago." Ke Qirui pondered, "I forgot his name, but I remember his Sky Drive was very special... it was 'Chess'. Later, he quit the association due to something, and I haven't seen him since."

"He also joined the White Crow Brigade?" Su Zimai was stunned.

"Maybe."

"A good young man has gone astray. Even if he gets a stable position in the association, it is better than joining those lunatics to kill, burn, and loot, right?" Su Zimai sighed.

Ke Qirui shook his head. "Who knows what he's thinking? Anyway... let's go meet up with the others first. We have to be careful on the road. I wonder if anyone from the brigade is still nearby."

"Ah."

Ke Qirui put his pipe back into his windbreaker pocket, and the two of them walked out of the abandoned office building, talking and laughing.

The other side of Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Ji Minghuan accompanied the three members of the White Crow Brigade to a ramen restaurant, and then they disbanded. Before leaving, Ayase Origami left him a mobile phone number, saying that the other members would call him when they arrived in Tokyo.

After leaving the ramen restaurant, he found a hotel in Tokyo to stay in alone, swiped his card, and opened the door.

He put the room card into the card slot and turned on the light.

Taking a few steps forward and falling onto the bed, Ji Minghuan thought to himself, "I'll have to stay in this bandit group for a long time... The White Crow Brigade is notorious now, and maybe I can lure the Rainbow Wings here. As long as I can get some information about Rainbow Wings, even just the ability of one of its members, I'll have the capital to conduct a long-term deal with Gu Qiye."

He lay on the pillow, clicked the gear icon in the lower right corner of the field of view, brought up the system panel, and selected the "Character Skill Tree System".

[Branch 1 (Group): Recruiting Soldiers (Requires 1 skill point to learn) → Unknown → Unknown...]

[Branch 2 (Brave): Chess Evolution (Condition: This skill can only be learned after spending a total of 3 skill points in other branches) (Learning this skill requires 1 skill point) → Unknown → Unknown...]

[Branch Three (Soul): Demon Hunter (requires 1 skill point to learn) → Unknown → Unknown...]

"The skills in the second branch have learning prerequisites, so I can't use them now. I can only choose from the other two branches." Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan took a look at the initial skills on the two branches.

[Recruit Soldiers: Obtain two "Soldier Chess Pieces."]

[Demon Hunter: After the chess pieces participate in killing a demon, you have a chance to obtain a unique chess piece related to it. (This chess piece can only be "materialized" once and will not regenerate like ordinary chess pieces after being destroyed.)

"The first one is better anyway."

Ji Minghuan came to the conclusion without hesitation, raised his finger, and pressed and held the skill name of "Recruit Soldiers".

Watching the text on the panel change from dark to light, emitting a black and white halo, a panel popped up in front of me.

[1 skill point has been consumed to successfully acquire the "Group" skill - "Recruit Soldiers."]

[The next skill of the branch "Group" has been opened for learning.]

Ji Minghuan took a look at the newly unlocked skills of the "group" system.

[Soldier Training: Equip your soldiers with shields, and activate the "Shield Shield" command during battle.]

He closed the character skill tree panel and summoned Xia Pingzhou's Sky Drive. A black and white halo emerged from his body and gradually merged into a ring formed by the twisted chessboard. Compared with before, there were two new "soldier pieces" on the ring - this was the function of "recruiting soldiers" that he had just learned.

"Yes, this king feels very safe."

Ji Minghuan yawned, retracted Tianqu, turned over in bed and faced the ceiling.

He opened the "Task Panel" instead.

【主线任务1：随同白鸦旅团参加7月21日的“东京地下拍卖会”抢劫行动，并在行动中存活下来。（任务奖励：3个技能点、1个属性点、1个分裂点）】

He thought, "I just realized the reward for this quest is 3 skill points... This is the first time I've seen so many points. Does this mean it's going to be hard to survive the auction?"

[Main Quest 2: Find the location of "Jack the Ripper," the evil exorcist who killed "your loved ones." (Quest Reward: 1 Skill Point, 1 Attribute Point, 1 Split Point)]

"Jack the Ripper is a member... As long as all members of the brigade gather later, I will definitely be able to complete this mission."

Ji Minghuan silently looked at the third main line.

[Main Mission 3: Find clues about "your former teammate," the mad exorcist - "Red Light."]

He searched through Xia Pingzhou's memories for an incident two years ago. At that time, the four-man team was on their way to a mission when Xia Pingzhou's exorcist teammate "Red Street Light" suddenly went mad, as if possessed by a brutal murderous ghost. He smashed the other two teammates except Xia Pingzhou into meat patties, and blood splattered everywhere.

After that, Red Street Light disappeared for a long time, and then he became a monster that specialized in hunting exorcists.

Every time he succeeded in committing a crime, he would leave a "hexagram" mark next to the body, and next to the mark would be a line of Latin words: Sodalitas Salvifica.

Translated into Chinese, it means "Salvation Society".

"'The Salvation Society'... sounds like a very powerful organization." Ji Minghuan muttered.

He sighed, "Anyway, there's nothing we need to do for now. Just wait for notification from the brigade. This body will just hang in the hotel for now."

With his arms resting behind his head, Ji Minghuan stared at the ceiling for a moment. He thought, "Now that I have a second body as a backup, the next step is to use 'Black Pupa' to explore the welfare home. I hope I can get some clues about the laboratory from the director."

So he closed his eyes and switched his consciousness to the first game character - "Gu Wenyu".

Everything slowly quieted down. The hotel lights dimmed in a yellowish haze, and the young man in bed slept peacefully. A light rain fell outside, and the Tokyo Tower glowed white and warm under the rain.
