Chapter 131: Creation of Game Character No. ③ (asking for monthly ticket)
It was the early morning of July 21st.
The last second, Ji Minghuan's consciousness was still above Tokyo Bay.
He and Ayase Origami stood on the railing of the Rainbow Bridge, one after the other.
The two men completely ignored the whistles of the traffic police and the honking of passing cars behind them, and just kept walking forward along the bridge railing.
It was like two little kids skipping along the zebra crossing, as if they had left all the noise of the world behind.
The long sea breeze blew their silhouettes.
They turned their heads to look at the shadow of Mount Fuji on the horizon and discussed which country to go to next.
Britain, Iceland? Or France? Or Norway? Ji Minghuan suggested.
Ayase Origami's fresh hair was blown by the sea breeze, and the sleeves of her kimono fluttered in the wind. She said without turning her head: We will go wherever you want to go.
The next second, when Ji Minghuan was about to answer, he suddenly heard a strange knock on the door.
The sudden and loud knock on the door overlapped with the endless sound of the sea waves.
Ji Minghuan turned his head and looked around, all he could see was the Tokyo Bay sparkling in the sun. He thought to himself that there couldn't possibly be a knock on the door at the seaside, that would be a bit absurd, like in "The Truman Show".
So he moved his mind and synchronized his consciousness to the body No. 1 Gu Wenyu.
The interior of Roppongi Grand Hotel.
Ji Minghuan rolled slowly on the large white bed, falling down with the quilt, and then rolled towards the door on the carpet wrapped in the white quilt like a maggot.
He raised his hand, pulled out the restraint from his sleeve, and pushed the door handle down with a "click".
The door opened and he opened one eye to see who was disturbing his sleep so early in the morning.
The figure that came into view surprised him secretly.
That’s right…it’s Gu Qinye.
Ji Minghuan poked his head out from under the quilt and looked at Gu Qinye curiously.
Big Brother is still wearing the same outfit today, a Blue Arc fan T-shirt and casual trousers;
The posture was still the same, with his shoulders folded, leaning against the wall in the corridor and playing with his mobile phone, but Ji Minghuan really felt like he had seen a ghost.
"Disemboweled" is not enough to describe the injuries Gu Qinye suffered at the auction last night. They were so serious that he should have to lie in the best hospital in Tokyo for two or three days before considering getting up.
But he never expected that after just one night, his brother would already be lively and energetic, and looked in good spirits, as if he was living a peaceful and tranquil life.
"As expected of a quasi-disaster-level... this self-healing ability is a bit abnormal."
Ji Minghuan thought to himself, "But Big Brother is a 'Disaster Level' potential certified by the Association, so it's not surprising that his self-healing ability is stronger than that of an ordinary quasi-disaster level."
Of course, it is also possible that the medical insurance of the Japanese Exorcist Association is more outstanding. After all, Ji Minghuan personally sent Gu Qiye to the association last night.
Gu Qiye looked up from his phone and saw his brother lying on the ground with one eye open, staring at him. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Why are you lying on the carpet? Did you sleep here last night?"
"I haven't woken up yet... We elementary school students just like to use absurd performance art to express our rebellion against the world."
As Ji Minghuan spoke, he struggled to free himself from the quilt wrapped around him, slowly got up from the ground, and rubbed his dark circles.
Gu Qiye smiled and reminded: "You are a high school student, not an elementary school student."
"A high school student who was scared to death is no better than an elementary school student." Ji Minghuan said this inexplicably, and then asked listlessly, "So what do you want from me, a high school student?"
"Let's go back home today. I booked a flight ticket last night and will leave at noon today."
"Then let's go."
"Well, and please ask Xiaomai on WeChat for me."
"What do you want to ask?"
"Ask her if she wants to go back home with us." Gu Qiye shrugged. "It's not good to always let others take care of her. If she wants to live with her friends after she goes back, it's fine. At least her family should pay for the airfare, right?"
Ji Minghuan was stunned.
Then he tilted his head, leaned it against the door frame, and said unhappily, "So you already knew she was in Japan... Why didn't you tell me earlier? Then why am I still acting in front of you?"
"I was lucky. I ran into her and her teacher when I went to eat barbecue." Gu Qiye said calmly, "Then I found out that you two were working together to hide it from me. If it weren't for my good luck, I might not have known that I was deceived by you until now, right?"
Ji Minghuan raised his hands in surrender: "I must solemnly declare that I was threatened by my sister. I suggest you don't take your anger out on me."
"I know that Xiaomai's personality is like that. If you disagree with her, she will definitely start to act unreasonably."
"Yeah, right?"
As he was talking, Ji Minghuan looked away and suddenly recalled the red eyes of Su Zimai in the bookstore.
He thought to himself: My sister is a magical animal that is even more magical than magical animals. After a beating, she is no longer magical.
As the two were chatting, Gu Zhuoan, wearing a thin coat and with his hands in his pockets, walked over from the end of the corridor.
He put one hand on his waist, slowly raised his face, looked at the two of them, lowered his head and rubbed the stubble on his face, thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you leaving?"
Gu Qiye was silent for a while, then nodded, turned to look at Gu Zhuo'an, and immediately changed his tone: "Yes...the flight ticket for noon. We will go to the airport and wait after dinner."
At this moment, for some reason, his mind flashed back to the dark figure that flashed past his eyes when he was on the verge of death in the auction last night...
Gu Qiye was nearly blind due to excessive blood loss. Although he could not see clearly, the people from the Exorcist Association said afterwards that the reinforcement was most likely:
——“Ghost Bell”.
They also revealed that some people in the Japanese underworld may know Gui Zhong, but these people are unwilling to reveal their identities.
After all, Gui Zhong is an internationally wanted criminal. If the underworld voluntarily admits that they have colluded with Gui Zhong, they will definitely get into trouble; if they do not admit it, then no matter how the official investigation is done, it will be useless.
In the end, it was still uncertain whether the rumor was true or not. To this day, Gu Qiye still didn't know whether the person who saved him last night was Gui Zhong...
If that was true, then it was all too unbelievable: a super criminal who had defeated him time and time again actually helped him in that situation?
Even if it was a commission from the underworld, is it really possible for someone like Gui Zhong to do something that goes against his conscience?
So when he woke up in the ward in the morning, Gu Qiye tossed and turned, puzzled. Finally, he turned his head and looked out the window. Looking at the clear sky like water, everything in his heart was relieved for a moment.
As long as I'm still alive... This was the only thought in his mind at that time.
He wanted to come back to see his family first, so he told the people from the Exorcist Association and proved to them that he was in good health. Then he took off his hospital gown and ran back to the hotel at full speed without even getting in the car prepared by the association.
"Wash up and let's go." Gu Qinye walked over and patted Gu Wenyu on the shoulder.
"good."
"What does Wheat say?"
"Tell us to go first."
In the afternoon of that day, 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 his chin on his hand and looking at the sea of clouds outside the window.
To be honest, after being the ninja version of the faceless black pupa for so long, Ji Minghuan actually began to miss his troublesome mask and windbreaker.
At least after putting it on, you will look less like a giant fluttering moth and have a little more human decency.
At this moment, his No. 2 machine had accompanied Ayase Origami on board the human smuggling ship prepared by the hackers, and they finally set their destination as Venice.
Because Xueyi, Andrew, and Bai Tanlang also seemed to be going to that city for vacation.
It just so happened that I heard that there were many demons there, and Xia Pingzhou hadn't contracted a second demon yet. So it sounded like everything was just perfect, not only would there be small monsters to spawn, but there would also be big guys leading the team.
So the No. 2 machine was on a boat, the No. 1 machine was on a plane, and Ji Minghuan's real body was lying in a dark prison cell.
The three bodies were doing nothing, so Ji Minghuan finally found some time to do something important:
——Create a third game console.
The reason why he needed to choose the time to create the body so carefully was because during the creation period, his consciousness would be temporarily cut off from the outside world, and he would not be able to control any body.
If the timing is not chosen well, it is likely to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings or even cause a disaster.
"Then... I hope I can draw a good lot."
Ji Minghuan prayed in his heart, clicked the gear icon in the lower right corner of the field of vision, brought 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 his eyes went dark, and both the perspective of the main body and the game console disappeared without a trace.
[You are about to enter the "Game Character Creation" stage. ]
This was the last sound he heard.
[The "Game Character Creation Space" has been loaded. During the character creation period, your consciousness will not be able to link 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 he opened his eyes, Ji Minghuan met his "index finger mouse" after a long time.
Then, a panel with a red and black background slowly emerged from the darkness. It looked like the UI in an RPG game.
At this moment, a line of words made of pixels is written in the center of the panel:
[Do you want to start creating the "third game character" immediately? ]
Ji Minghuan dragged the mouse with his index finger without thinking and clicked the [Yes] option below.
[Next, you will roll the dice and choose a random number from "1" to "6".]
Then six options “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5” and “6” appeared below.
"Here we go again... Can I get lucky this time?"
Ji Minghuan tilted his head and clicked option [5] based on his intuition.
【The number "5" has been selected. 】
A red and black dice suddenly appeared in the darkness, with a number engraved on each side. The dice shot upward, tumbling in the air, and fell to the ground with a "clack", bouncing two or three times before slowly coming to a stop.
Looking up, I saw a blood-red number - "6".
[Unfortunately, you lost in this dice guessing game.]
"Do you want to play?"
Ji Minghuan frowned his non-existent brows.
[Tip: Two "rare characters" appeared in the "character" file generated this time. ]
"We have reconciled."
Ji Minghuan relaxed his non-existent frown.
[Then please choose one of the following two "identity records" and it will be your third game character, making its debut in the theater called "real world".]
【No. 1 Role Record】
[Name: Nameless Person (Rare Character)]
【Gender: Male】
[Age: 20 years old]
【Ethnicity: Caucasian】
[Category: Anecdote Envoy (One of the three extraordinary races, able to obtain "Anecdote Fragments" in the Anecdote Secret Realms around the world, and use the various fragment powers in the "Anecdote Atlas" to fight)]
[Basic attributes: Strength: C++ level; Speed: C++ level; Spirit: C++ level]
[Initial evaluation: C++ level]
[Background introduction: You are a member of the "Black Death Cult" who craves power. The notorious evil legend "Bernardo Edward" is the leader of the Black Death Cult. Bernardo is the holder of the generational legend "Black Death", and is contaminated by the legend fragments of the "Black Death". Bernardo has less than a few years left to live.
If you can become Bernardo's last disciple, then if nothing unexpected happens, you will inherit the generation-level wonder fragment - "Black Death" from "Bernardo" and become the leader of the new generation;
The prerequisite is that you must survive in the Black Death Cult and hold on until the day when Bernardo is completely devoured by the strange fragments.
Of course, you can also choose to lurk in the Black Death Cult, looking for an opportunity to kill "Bernardo" and take away the fragments of the "Black Death" from him in a more forceful way. 】
[There are two "growth lines" for this game character to choose from:
Main storyline 1: Plague spreader;
Main storyline 2: Rebel (Renegade). 】
"What a lame feeling..." Ji Minghuan thought, "After all this going on, it's just a generational curiosity. Even if I get this piece of curiosity called 'Black Death', what does it matter?"
He sighed slightly. "And the key is that I want to enter the Whale's Box Garden as soon as possible, but this character's natural position is to stand on the opposite side of the Whale's Box Garden. Even if I want to enter the Whale's Box Garden as an undercover agent, it will take some time."
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan shifted his gaze and turned to look at the second panel in the darkness.
.
【Character Profile No. 2】
[Name: Yagubaru (rare character)]
【Gender: Male】
【age:???】
[Organism type: Shark]
[Species name: Eternal Shark]
[Supernatural Category: Magical Creatures]
Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment: "What is this... Have I been deprived of my human status?"
[Basic attributes: Strength: D level; Speed: D level; Spirit: S level]
[Additional Tip: When this character changes to a different size, the attribute values will change accordingly. ]
[Initial evaluation: C level]
【Background introduction:
The "Eternal Abyss Shark" is a creature that lives in the Eternal Abyss of the seabed. They were once the undisputed king of the ocean.
Every Eternal Abyss Shark can become stronger by "swallowing strange fragments".
Therefore, collecting and devouring the strange fragments in the ocean has become a necessary path for the growth of every Abyss Shark.
But it wasn't long before the Eternal Sharks dominated the oceans, and their natural enemy, the "Legendary Whale", appeared.
The legendary whale is a two-hundred-meter-long ochre-red whale. It is said that inside each legendary whale there is a bizarre world that does not match 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 juvenile "Eternal Shark" left in the world.
In order to take revenge on Chicanao, the last legendary whale in the world, you found out that a human race called "Qimonies" is living inside the body of this "legendary whale".
And within the Qiwenshi, there is a royal family with absolute control, they are also called the "Whale Royal Court".
The king and queen of the Whale King's Court gave birth to three princes in total, and "Cesare" was the youngest of them.
On Cesare's twelfth birthday, his father gave him a crystal ball.
The crystal ball contains a strange shark caught from the depths of the ocean - the "Nobe shark": the baby of this shark is only the size of an adult's palm and will never grow up.
Therefore, it can be kept in a crystal ball as a pet.
And you... the last "Eternal Shark" in the world. In order to blend into the body of the legendary whale, you shrunk your body countless times and disguised yourself as a palm-sized "Nobe Shark". By chance, you were deliberately caught by the king's servants and entered a small crystal ball.
Finally, as a birthday gift, the king sent you to the third prince.
After this, you will stay inside the crystal ball for a long time, disguised as the third prince's pet - an ordinary "Nobe Shark", constantly examining the world of the whale's box garden, looking for opportunities to break through.
During this period, you can devour the fragments of strange stories in the whale box to make yourself stronger, and continue to accumulate strength... waiting for the right opportunity.
Finally, he swallowed the last "legendary whale" in the world along with the entire whale's box garden into his stomach, avenging the Eternal Abyss Shark clan and ending the battle for ocean hegemony that had lasted for thousands of years.
Or... you can also choose to give up the hatred of race, become a general of the Whale Box Garden, and protect this bizarre world together with the Qiwen royal family. 】
[There are two "growth lines" for this game character to choose from:
Main storyline 1: Whaler Hunter;
Main Path 2: Guardian of the Miniature Garden. 】
After reading the background introduction, Ji Minghuan was shocked and murmured, "Uh... In other words, if I choose this 'Shark of the Eternal Abyss', then my main quest is to eat the legendary whale?"
At this moment, he suddenly recalled the giant red whale that looked like a battleship when he was following Li Qingping that day. He thought to himself, if this shark really wanted to eat the legendary whale, how big would it have to be?
Isn’t this too exaggerated?
However, if we put aside the big picture painted by the system and look purely at the panel attributes, the initial attribute values of this shark named "Agubaru" are extremely low, even far inferior to Ji Minghuan's first two game machines.
Of course...it's probably because this shark is still in its juvenile stage.
Generally speaking, characters in this kind of game become more powerful as they grow in depth, but are ridiculously weak in the early stages.
"By the way, if I really eat the legendary whale, won't all the strange stories in the world come after me to kill me?"
When Ji Minghuan's thoughts reached this point, he did not feel panicked, but instead became a little interested.
He curled his lips and said, "It's fun to think this way. Besides, I can lurk beside the Third Prince and see what that brainless Li Qingping is planning to do in the Whale Garden."
So Ji Minghuan no longer hesitated, and slid his index finger of the mouse in the dark, pressing it on the file for a long time.
Gradually, the light enveloped every inch of my fingertips, and then the words on the file form turned from dark to light.
Finally, a black and blue light suddenly burst out, like the color of the abyss at the bottom of the sea.
[You have selected the second character profile - "Yagubaru", he will appear in the real world as your third game character. 】
[Please choose a "growth line" between "Whale Hunter" and "Box Garden Guardian". 】
Ji Minghuan slid the mouse with his index finger and clicked "Whale Hunter" with an expressionless face.
The reason is obvious: if you choose the second main line "Guardian of the Box Garden", his main task will not be "Devouring the Legendary Whale" but "Protecting the Legendary Whale". It sounds like the growth ceiling is suddenly much lower, and it feels like he has suddenly fallen from a villain boss to a guard dog of the Strange Messenger.
It would be better to just eat the whale's box garden in one bite... This way Li Qingping would also be freed.
Seeing that Li Qingping hates the world of Strange News so much, Ji Minghuan can take this opportunity to help him a little, transforming into a giant shark and swallowing up the world of Strange News in one gulp. In this way, Li Qingping will have no worries.
Hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine, why not do it?
The curiosities will certainly appreciate his good intentions. They should not only stay in the well and see the world, but also come out of the whale's belly to see the bigger world.
Of course, if those strange things were eaten by sharks, then just ignore what he said.
[The character's growth path No. 1, "Whale Hunter", has been selected, and a unique character development system has been generated. 】
[Please wait a moment. Your game machine No. 3, "Agubaru", is being generated in the real world, and his existence is being made "reasonable"...]
[Soon to land in "Whale's Box Garden"... The final countdown will begin later. 】
【3……】
【2……】
【1……】
The moment the pupil number reached 0, Ji Minghuan's vision was engulfed by the sudden light.
