My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 28 Mantra
"I need to go to bed early when I get home..." Ji Minghuan thought, "My mentor will be looking for me soon, so I must concentrate on using my main body to deal with him."

It was late, dusk gathering, and the streets and alleys were deserted. Under the dim yellow streetlights, a bicycle crossed the street, the rustling sound of its chain clearly audible.

Ji Minghuan bought a donut on the way. He remembered that when he was still in the welfare home, Kong Youling liked to eat this very much: every time the nurses brought back donuts, he would always tell her that he didn't like sweets and then give her his share.

Eating them alone now doesn't taste as good as I once remembered. Perhaps now that I've escaped the poverty and cramped conditions of the orphanage, and the fussing of the children around me, the doughnuts, once so rare, have lost their flavor.

But as he tasted the food, he seemed to see Kong Youling, who was only 9 years old at the time, sitting next to him, eating in small bites, with her snow-white hair swaying like a little white hamster.

From time to time, she would glance back at him while biting a donut, write on the notebook and ask, "Are you really not going to eat it?"

Ji Minghuan couldn't help but let out a low laugh, his eyes obscured by his drooping hair.

"If... you were here too." He suddenly thought.

Holding a donut in his mouth, he opened the door with a silver-plated key and changed into his home slippers.

When I walked into the living room, I saw Gu Qiye, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen, sitting on the sofa, quietly reading a book. He was reading a newly opened hardcover edition of "The Outsider", the same book that Hei Pupa had been flipping through last night when he made his debut under everyone's attention.

"It's rare to see you reading at home." Ji Minghuan said, taking a bite of the donut.

"Cultivate your sentiments." Gu Qiye said.

Cultivate your sentiments, or study your enemies? Ji Minghuan thought to himself.

He was not worried that Gu Qinye would find the same novel at home, because the book he brought with him last night was picked up from the bookstore with a restraint belt on the way to Lijing Square, and he returned it on the way home.

This is what a decent and high-quality villain should do, well, to be more precise, a "gray character".

"Xiaomi... hasn't come back yet?" Gu Qinye asked without raising his head while looking down at the book.

"She said she would live outside and would not come back until the end of summer vacation."

After briefly recounting what happened in the park, Ji Minghuan said that he had the contact information of the mixed-race girl named "Ke Qiji" and could call her when needed, and then he happily went upstairs.

What’s strange is that Gu Qinye didn’t ask him for the girl’s number, probably because he thought Su Zimai would be angry.

This older brother really understood his sister. Of course, if he knew that Su Zimai had actually run off with a senior exorcist, he would probably have turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed straight to the park to bring Su Zimai home.

In fact, Ji Minghuan was a little surprised. He thought that at this time, he would not be able to see Gu Qiye after returning home. Instead, he could only catch a glimpse of Lijing City’s big star, the alien "Blue Arc", on TV.

Of course...it's very likely that Blue Arc was seriously injured yesterday, and the Alien Association asked someone else to take over his shift today, so they gave him a day off to catch his breath.

Ji Minghuan took out some clean clothes from the closet in his room and took a shower. Then he heard heavy footsteps coming from upstairs.

Gu Zhuoan's room is on the third floor, right above the bathroom on the second floor. Judging from the footsteps, Dad should be in the room right now.

So Ji Minghuan stood under the shower head, washing his body with warm water while taking out the restraints and pressing them against the ceiling of the bathroom.

His senses seeped through the white walls and brought him the scene upstairs.

Gu Zhuoan sat motionless on the bed, staring blankly at the picture in front of the window. It was a college photo of him and his wife, Su Ying. He hadn't seen it in two years, and his eyes were focused. Ji Minghuan had originally thought he was handling some dangerous biological weapon, but he hadn't expected his father to be so devoted.

He silently retracted the restraints. After showering, Ji Minghuan changed into clean pajamas, sprawled out on the bed, closed the door with the restraints, and opened his personal dashboard, a dense web of information filling his eyes.

[Character Attributes: Strength (determines physical fitness): C-level; Speed ​​(determines nerve reaction): C+ level; Spirit (determines mental strength): C-level]

[Your game character, "Black Pupa", currently has 2 attribute points. Do you want to allocate them immediately?]

Ji Minghuan pressed the plus signs behind "strength" and "speed" respectively, focusing on balanced development.

[The "Strength" attribute of the first game character "Black Pupa" has changed from C rank to C+ rank]

[The "Speed" attribute of the first game character "Black Pupa" has changed from C+ to C++]

It was like an undercurrent gurgling through his body, permeating every cell. His bodily functions were visibly improving. Ji Minghuan tried to do a few push-ups on the ground, and it seemed that even the movement of his muscles had become much smoother.

Not only that, increasing these two attributes can also improve the strength and speed of the restraints, which is the most important thing.

He then switched to the [Character Skill Tree] panel. Like the branches of a tree, the skills on the three branches came into view at a glance.

[Branch 1 (Hidden): Binding Sense (Learned) → Binding Mantra (To be learned) → Unknown (Details of this skill will be available after learning the previous skill in this branch) → Unknown...]

[Branch 2 (Crazy): Restraint belt extension (to be learned) → Unknown → Unknown → Unknown...]

[Branch Three (Evil): Restraint Detection (Learned) → Restraint Inhibition (To Be Learned) → Unknown → Unknown…]

"Currently, the only known way to obtain 'Split Points' is to complete the main quests. Once I create a second character, I won't be unable to obtain Split Points if the first character dies. This way, even if the first character dies, I can use the second character to continue creating more characters."

Ji Minghuan thought about it while pressing and holding the skill bar of "Restraint Belt Mantra".

I watched expressionlessly as it changed from dim to bright, and finally bloomed into a color with great black vitality.

[1 skill point has been consumed to successfully acquire the "Hidden" branch skill - "Bound Band Mantra" (After using the bound band to tie up the opponent, you can force them to speak their mind).]

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

"Then... in a couple of days, we can go and settle accounts with the dean."

In the darkness, Ji Minghuan recalled the past, his mind flashing back to the time when the old dean led them to worship in the Christian church. The old dean knelt before the stone statue of Jesus, his face bloated and hypocritical, his hands clasped in prayer. The image still left a deep impression on him.

"Old Dean, you can start praying to your God, praying... that you can give me a satisfactory answer."

He whispered to himself, his pupils reflecting the hellish color of the red and black tree branches.
