Chapter 129 Rewards, Promotion, and Division (asking for monthly tickets)
The time was three o'clock in the morning on July 21st, in Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
Despite the heavy rain, one or two passers-by were still walking quickly on the street in raincoats, and then they rushed into the brightly lit izakaya, as if they had found a safe haven, and breathed a sigh of relief under the eaves.
At this moment, Hei Pupa was hanging upside down under the ceiling of the pub, quietly observing the people around him.
He was very hungry, but it was the middle of the night and he couldn't order takeout in the hotel in such bad weather, so he had to look for food outside.
Unfortunately, looking around, he saw that the customers in the pub were only drinking. As a minor, he couldn't drink alcohol, and alcohol couldn't fill his stomach anyway.
So he wrapped a notebook with a zip tie, wrote on it with a pencil, and then secretly put the notebook on the counter.
[A stray cat: I want to drink hot milk. (Cat want milk) (Milk, big drops are good) (Helping the poor stray cat passing by, thank you meow, thank you meow)]
Behind the text there is a picture of a little black cat licking its paw and a heart.
The store manager rolled up his wet trouser legs, walked back from outside carrying the dishes, glanced at the book on the counter, turned his head and looked around. He didn't see the prankster, and of course he didn't see the cat either.
The black pupa hung upside down in the air with an expressionless face, looking at him quietly across the counter.
“Is he shooting a Twitter or YouTube video? Young people nowadays really know how to have fun. If the video goes viral, it can also help promote my store.”
The manager muttered to himself as he put the notebook into the cabinet, touched his head, took out a can of milk from the refrigerator, heated it in the microwave, and then lowered his head to read the newspaper.
After a while, the store manager turned around and saw that the microwave was empty. There was a colorful label on the microwave: [Love comes from "Black Pupa" - Next time a customer passes by here, I will use a restraint belt to catch them for you.]
A few minutes later, at the Roppongi Hotel, Ji Minghuan controlled the No. 1 machine, the Black Pupa, to fall into the hotel room. He removed the restraints all over his body, lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
“There are still many good people.”
After standing there for a while, Ji Minghuan looked up, unscrewed the cap of the hot milk bottle with his hands, and closed the window with the wet restraints. The wind and rain stopped beating down, he gulped down a mouthful of milk, exhaled refreshingly, and threw the empty can into the trash can.
Then he staggered forward like an old woman whose legs and feet had failed, stretched out his arms, leaned forward in a big letter position, fell on the bed with a thud, and hit his chin hard on the pillow.
"I'm so tired. I can finally take a break." He thought, "This family of five...except for me who is not a human, and someone who died early, none of the others are worry-free. Can these three people put together a brain? Especially the guy who wet his pants. I haven't wet my pants since kindergarten. He is so much older than me. Isn't it embarrassing?"
Ji Minghuan was worried sick about this family.
He always felt that judging from his actual performance, he was the real father of the family, while the scary clock tower man was the eldest son, the big blue rat was the second son, and the refrigerator demon was the youngest daughter.
"Speaking of which, my sister can't stay with Ke Qirui forever... Come back quickly, I can't help but want to see her get beaten up by dad and big brother and his son."
After muttering to himself for a while, Ji Minghuan turned over in bed and called up the main task panel of Unit No. 1.
Under the dim bedside lamp, the red and black words crawled up to my eye sockets like ants.
[Tip: Currently, three main quests are in "completed status", please claim your rewards in time.]
He raised his hand and slapped the panel, as if he was slapping a malfunctioning slot machine, and light and pleasant reward prompt sounds rang out one after another.
[Completed the main mission 1 (Phase 4) - Help the alien "Blue Arc" survive the auction operation. ]
[Rewards: 1 split point, 1 skill point, 1 attribute point]
[Completed the main mission 2 (Phase 2) - reached a cooperative relationship with the super criminal "Ghost Bell", and then developed interpersonal relationships among evil superpowers. ]
[Rewards: 1 split point, 1 skill point, 1 attribute point]
[Completed the main mission 3 (Phase 3) - Cooperate with the exorcists "Ke Qirui" and "Su Zimai" to ensure that they survive the auction. ]
[Rewards: 1 split point, 1 skill point, 1 attribute point]
[Tip: The three main quests have been refreshed to the next stage. ]
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and took a quick look at the new task.
[Main Mission 1 (Phase 5): Help the alien "Blue Arc" enter the United Nations organization "Rainbow Wing". ]
[Main Mission 2 (Phase 3): Help the super criminal "Ghost Bell" find clues about the members of Rainbow Wing.]
[Main Mission 3 (Phase 4): This mission will be refreshed in 5 days.]
[Main Mission 4 (Phase 2): Establish a cooperative relationship with the Vice Captain of the Royal Court Team, "Red Dragon", and then develop interpersonal relationships in the Whale Box Garden]
"Fortunately, I didn't get another auction mission, otherwise I would be suffocated. My sister's main quest will be refreshed in five days, which is July 26th... Just treat it as a holiday for Unit 1. I should be able to relax these few days."
"I just happen to be creating the third unit, so this will reduce some of the burden on me."
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan called up the attribute panel and quickly allocated the three attributes.
[The "Spirit" attribute of the No. 1 game character "Black Pupa" has changed: C level → C+ level (↑1 point) (The "toughness" of your restraints will also increase accordingly, and it will not be easily cut)]
[The "Strength" attribute of the No. 1 game character "Black Pupa" has changed: B+ level → B++ level (↑1 point) (The "Strength" of your restraint belt will also increase accordingly)]
[The "Speed" attribute of the No. 1 game character "Black Pupa" has changed: B++ level → A level (↑1 point) (The movement speed of your "Restraint Belt" will also increase accordingly)]
[Current character attributes: Strength: B++; Speed: A; Spirit: C+]
"I should improve my mental attributes, otherwise the restraints will break if I pull them, and my strength and speed will be useless... I have already reached this level without realizing it. After adding some new skills, I can at least be considered a top dragon-level warrior."
Ji Minghuan whispered to himself and called up the character skill tree of Unit 1.
[Branch 1 (Hidden): Binding Belt Sense (already learned) → Binding Belt Mantra (already learned) → Binding Belt Color Change (already learned) → Binding Belt Trap (already learned) → Binding Belt Avatar (already learned) → Avatar Enhancement (to be learned, learning this skill requires "3" skill points)...]
[Branch 2 (Crazy): Restraint Belt Extension (already learned) → Restraint Belt Blade (to be learned) → Unknown → Unknown...]
[Branch Three (Li): Restraint Detection (already learned) → Restraint Suppression (already learned) → Power Stealing (already learned) → Capacity Increase (to be learned) → Unknown]
[You currently have 3 skill points]
“The skill tree system is really not friendly to people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.”
Ji Minghuan lay on the bed and muttered softly, taking a look at the "skills to be learned" in the three systems respectively.
[(Hidden) Avatar Enhancement: Allows your binding belt avatar to gain 70% of the original body's attributes.]
[(Crazy) Restraint Belt Blade: After activating the skill, a sharp black blade will be attached to the edge of your restraint belt.]
[(Cruel) Capacity Increase: Allows you to use a restraint belt to store two different, plundered abilities at the same time, and the maximum storage time is increased to 48 hours. ]
"The main body of the black pupa is not that strong for now, and there is no point in strengthening the incarnation. It is better to distribute the three attribute values to other skill trees." Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised his finger and poked the skill icon of "Restraint Belt Blade".
[1 skill point has been consumed, and the skill of the "Crazy" branch - "Bound Belt Blade" has been successfully learned. ]
[The next skill of the "Crazy" branch has been opened for learning - "Restraint Band Rage" [With itself as the center, a large number of restraint bands rotate at high speed, generating a storm-like raging flow around the body (the skill's range of influence is related to the "Restraint Band Length")]]
[Note: Even when being "controlled", "Restriction Belt Frenzy" can still be used. ]
[Currently remaining: 2 skill points. ]
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and thought: "First activate the restraint belt blade, and then use this restraint belt wild flow, isn't it equivalent to a small-scale killing skill? Moreover, this thing can be used when being controlled by the enemy. I can pretend to be hit, lure them to my side, and then give them a surprise."
[1 skill point has been consumed, and the skill of the "Frenzy" branch has been successfully learned - "Bound Band Frenzy Flow". ]
[The next skill of the "Crazy" branch has been opened for learning - "Restriction Band Chainsaw" (Strengthen your restriction band blade for a short period of time, and make it rotate around the restriction band at high speed like a chainsaw blade (requires 2 skill points)]
[Currently remaining: 1 skill point. ]
"Then we can only add one last branch."
[“1” skill point has been consumed, and the skill “Capacity Enhancement” of the “Li” branch has been successfully acquired. ]
[The next skill of the branch "Li" has been opened for learning - "Power Overload": Strengthen the power of a power you stole. (Requires 2 skill points)]
[Currently remaining: 0 skill points. ]
"In this way, the fighting ability of the black pupa has increased again. I will go find Tunyin to see the actual combat effect next time."
He put one arm behind his head, lowered his eyes, and pulled the restraints out from his sleeves.
His eyes fixed, and he activated the "Restraint Blade".
With a clang, the edge of the black restraints was suddenly coated with a layer of silver-white blades. The silver and black colors intertwined, like mercury and ink blending together, and were particularly eye-catching under the light.
As for the skill of "Restraint Belt Turbulence", he didn't dare to use it in the hotel, because this skill is equivalent to the unstoppable "dominant skill" in fighting games that will be automatically released as soon as you give the command. Even if the restraint belt crushed the entire bed right in front of him, he could not complain.
"Dad and Big Brother probably won't be back tonight..."
Ji Minghuan leaned the restraints against the wall, glanced at the two empty rooms in front and behind, then put the restraints back into his sleeves and turned off the bedside lamp.
Amid the sound of pattering rain, he slowly closed his eyes and his consciousness was synchronized to the second machine, Xia Pingzhou.
At the same time, in another corner of Tokyo, the members of the White Crow Brigade left the Mirror World Auction House and retreated to the abandoned building near the Amemiya Building through the wooden door created by Robert.
Lan Duoduo is dead, and the healing position in the team is temporarily vacant, but the self-healing abilities of the psychics and exorcists are very exaggerated, and even damaged internal organs can be restored quickly.
As long as the injuries are not broken, the rest only require simple bandaging.
Despite this, Ji Minghuan felt sick to his stomach when he saw the half-human, half-ghost faces of An Lance and the Ripper, and he seriously suspected that he would vomit his dinner.
So he couldn't help but ask Xia Pingzhou to release the stone statue of the bishop to help them heal their facial wounds faster - the faces of the two were peeled off by the blue arc, leaving only half flesh and half bones, which looked a bit like a B-level horror movie.
As for the injuries in other parts of the body, Ji Minghuan was too lazy to care. He couldn't see them anyway, so he let them heal on their own.
Looking at the bishop's stone statue emitting the aura of the Holy Father, the few members who were still in a good mood cast surprised glances, saying that your Tianqu actually has healing abilities? This cheat is too big.
Ji Minghuan was too lazy to pay attention to the other members of the group. He just picked up the unconscious Ayase Origami from the ground, turned his head to look at Robert, and asked him to use his supernatural powers to send them back to Oda Takikage's cafe.
Robert nodded.
A moment later, Ji Minghuan passed through the last wooden door and finally returned to the familiar cafe. Turning his head, he saw Oda Takikage's apron still hanging on the clothes hook in the kitchen.
He turned his head and glanced at Ayase Origami who was lying on his shoulder, and thought to himself: "If I hadn't let the Queen Statue knock the young lady out, the brigade would be at least half dead by now... Only two deaths is the best result."
"Come to think of it, during the brigade's disbanding, the captain will probably have to look for two new members. Can I let Black Pupa recommend himself? No, no, no, forget it... Black Pupa has already been hostile to the brigade once, there's no way the captain would trust Black Pupa."
"If the White Crow Brigade wants to take revenge on the Lake Hunters, at least half of its members must be upgraded to the level of a natural disaster in a short period of time. At present, it seems that only a few people have hope... It is another matter if the captain can bring in two new natural disaster-level members, but the possibility is close to zero."
As I thought of this, the phone in my pocket suddenly dinged.
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows, freed one hand and pulled out his cell phone, only to see that it was a message from a hacker.
[Hacker: Newbie, after reselling the auction items, I will first transfer your share of the money to your bank account, but only half. The other half will be given to you in cash.]
[Xia Pingzhou: Can't you just hack into the bank? That way you can get as much money as you want.]
[Hacker: Hey, I’ve done this too many times before. These people are familiar with my methods. Besides, it won’t take long for me to get caught after I hack into the system. The authorities often use some loopholes as traps. It’s so troublesome. Do you want to be hunted down?]
[Xia Pingzhou: Okay, I hope the money you send me is safe.]
[Hacker: That's definitely safe. I've been through a lot. You'll understand when you're my age.]
【Xia Pingzhou: Little brat.】
Ji Minghuan put away his phone, walked up the old circular stairs with a creaking sound, carried Ayase Origami to the second floor, gently put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
He sat down on the mattress on the ground.
He took a deep breath and looked at Ayase Origami's sleeping face. There was no moonlight in the rainy day. The layers of cumulonimbus clouds covered the moon, and even her face looked a little dark.
Recalling the expression that Ayase Origami had shown at the auction not long ago, he realized that this doll-like, plain and cold girl would react so sensitively when someone close to her was in danger.
So Ji Minghuan became even more curious. After a month, when his Unit 2 killed Jack the Ripper, what kind of expression would Ayase Origami have when looking at Xia Pingzhou?
He shrugged, sat cross-legged on the floor, and called up the main mission panel of Unit 2.
[Currently one main task has been completed, please claim the reward as soon as possible. 】
He raised his hand and poked the only task that was lit, and a black and white prompt box popped up.
[Completed the main mission 1 (Phase 2): Join the White Crow Brigade in the "Tokyo Underground Auction" robbery on July 21 and survive the operation.]
[Task rewards obtained: 3 skill points, 1 attribute point, 1 split point)]
[Main Mission 1 (Phase 3): This mission will be refreshed after 10 days.]
[Hint: The total number of split points currently held is: "11", which meets the conditions for creating the next machine. Do you want to start creating the next game machine immediately? ]
"Let's wait until tomorrow morning to create the No. 3 machine. I'm too tired today..." Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan controlled Xia Pingzhou to lie down and close his eyes.
Listening to the sound of the rain and the girl's regular breathing, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
