My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 79 Hibernation
Before falling asleep completely, Ji Minghuan squeezed out a little time to enter his own spiritual world.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a library. Outside the window, the sun was setting. Under the blood-red sky, the afterglow of the sunset lengthened the two long shadows.

Ji Minghuan lowered his eyes and looked at the shadow on the ground expressionlessly, then slowly raised his head and looked at the "black pupa" and "chess player" hanging on the ceiling.

Their limbs hung down, their heads drooped, and they were motionless.

The black pupa looks like a wet black umbrella hung on a clothesline;
The chess players were like dried meat hung from a butcher's hook, slowly rotting in the sunset.

Today, when Ji Minghuan was free, he suddenly figured out why these two "corpses" appeared in his spiritual world after he created the game character.

Because they are not actually corpses, but "hosted personalities" - the system said at the beginning that if he did not turn on the "complete split mode", then when he did not take over the body of the game body, the hosted personality would help him manage the body's every move.

From this perspective, there is actually nothing wrong with calling them "instrumental personalities."

So after Ji Minghuan activated the "complete split" mode, the hosted personality was equivalent to a temporary death... and during this period, they continued to learn his behavior patterns like AI, absorbing the experience of playing him, in order to prepare for the next "awakening".

Once the "complete split" mode is turned off, the two corpses will wake up immediately and take over the bodies of "Black Pupa" and "Chess Player" respectively.

It sounds convenient, but Ji Minghuan doesn't want to take any risks. It would be best if he could handle everything himself, at least until the auction is over.

He leaned to the last row of the library and picked up a novel. The shadow of a white-haired girl appeared beside him. She read with him until sleepiness came over him. Ji Minghuan slowly closed his eyelids and soon fell into a deep sleep.

With a thud, the book in his hand fell to the ground.

A night of silence.

Regardless of the time in the prison cell, the body in Japan woke up on the morning of July 14th. There were only seven days left until the Tokyo underground auction began.

"I'd rather die……"

Ji Minghuan yawned and said the first auspicious words every morning as usual.

Refreshed.

Then he controlled the No. 2 machine "Xia Pingzhou" to slowly get up from the bed, called up the machine's attribute panel, and quickly allocated the attribute points obtained from the main task yesterday.

Your second unit, Chess Player, has its "Spirit" attribute changed from B to B+ (the power of your "Chess Species" will also increase accordingly).

Then call up the character skill tree panel.

[Branch 1 (Group): Recruit Soldiers (Already Learned) → Soldier Training (Already Learned) → Build Cannon Carriage (Requires 1 skill point to learn)...]

[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...]

Ji Minghuan just took a quick glance and added some ideas, but his thoughts remained unchanged.

Well... build a cannon cart first, and then learn the "chess evolution" of branch two. This is the fastest way to improve short-term combat effectiveness. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pressed the skill icon of [Build Cannon Cart] until the text bloomed with red and black light.

[1 skill point has been consumed to successfully acquire the "Group" skill - "Build a Cannon Cart" (Create a new Cannon Cart chess piece in the chess library).]

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

Ji Minghuan rubbed the Tianming acupoint and took a look at the newly unlocked skills of the "group" system.

[Cavalry Training: Train one of your soldiers into a "Cavalryman," mounting a warhorse and equipping him with a spear. When a cavalryman is present, the combat effectiveness of the remaining soldiers will be greatly improved.]

"Knight Commander... I wonder if I can catch up to the Queen statue on horseback."

He took out the phone beside his pillow, turned it on, and looked down at the incoming text message.

[Ayase Origami: Today, the 4th and 9th arrived in Japan. I came to meet them. By the way... I have something to tell you.] This was sent at 4 a.m., which shows that this girl in kimono is a real night owl.

[Xia Pingzhou: What time?]

Ayase Origami: Right now, at the abandoned amusement park in western Minato, we're waiting for you.

[Xia Pingzhou: Here I come.]

He washed his face and brushed his teeth, then put on a human face mask in front of the mirror. Watching the layer of human skin completely fit his skin and the person in the mirror become another person, he picked up the door card and left the room with satisfaction.

Ji Minghuan took the elevator to the first floor. Not long after he walked out of the hotel, he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the street. When he raised his eyes from the screen of his mobile phone, the tall figure had already passed him by.

"Dad?"

Ji Minghuan was secretly surprised for a second, then turned his head slightly and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Zhuoan's back looked a little hunched, and he was standing unsteadily. He smelled strongly of alcohol, and while he wasn't drunk, he must have drunk quite a bit.

Due to the recent "underground bar explosion" incident caused by An Lun, all bars in this area of ​​Tokyo have been temporarily closed for official investigation. Currently, only izakayas are still open.

So Ji Minghuan speculated: Dad might have gone to a late-night izakaya to get drunk last night, stayed up all night, and was just about to go back to the hotel.

Ji Minghuan remembered that Gu Zhuoan had been addicted to alcohol for a while after his mother's death and was an out-and-out alcoholic, but he had been much more well-behaved when he came home these days - at least neither Gu Qiye nor Ji Minghuan smelled any alcohol on him.

As a result, when I arrived in Tokyo, my old problem recurred.

Of course, Gu Zhuoan probably hasn't gotten over the fact that he let the Rainbow Wing members go at the airport: the thought that he saw with his own eyes the Rainbow Wing members he had been searching for for years just walk away from him made Gu Zhuoan unable to sleep all night.

Given my father's personality, there's no way he'll let me go anytime soon, so I can only rely on alcohol to alleviate the anger and regret in my heart...

"Come on, Dad's mental state is so bad...Willn't he explode if I cause him any more trouble?"

Ji Minghuan was originally thinking about handing the recorder to Gu Zhuoan today and telling him that the true identity of Lan Hu, who had been hindering him, was actually his good son, Gu Qiye.

But seeing Gu Zhuo's condition, he suddenly became a little worried that this old man might completely lose control and do something incomprehensible.
In fact, Ji Minghuan didn't understand whether he had any feelings for them or whether it was just a pure interest relationship, and he would take advantage of them as much as possible.

He did have the memories of "Gu Wenyu", but that didn't mean he was Gu Wenyu. He just skimmed through those memories.

It's like watching a ridiculously long movie or finishing a long novel.

When you finish reading a very long novel, it is inevitable that you will develop some subtle feelings towards the characters in the book.

But it is difficult for you to completely immerse yourself in the characters in the book and establish substantial connections with other characters - because there is ultimately an insurmountable barrier between the audience and the characters in the book.

"Dad has to come to this auction to save his good son and daughter and make sure they don't die... Otherwise, my Unit 1 will be missing two main lines. What's the difference between it and being scrapped?"

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan no longer hesitated and synchronized his consciousness to the No. 1 body "Gu Wenyu".

He controlled the black pupa to get up from the bed, took out a recorder from the suitcase and held it in his hand, wrapped his whole body with restraints, made his body transparent, and then climbed out the window.

Gu Zhuoan had drunk a lot of alcohol and looked a little sleepy. He couldn't walk far. As long as he was still in Tokyo's Minato Ward, with the superior tracking ability of "Black Pupa", it would not be difficult to find the defenseless Gu Zhuoan in a short time.

"No matter if he collapses or not, today... I must tell him the identity of 'Blue Arc'."

In a few fleeting seconds, Ji Minghuan made a decision in his heart. While thinking, he withdrew his gaze from Gu Zhuoan's back and controlled the No. 2 machine to move forward.

Going in the opposite direction of the other party, they were gradually lost in the crowd at the traffic light intersection.
