The male supporting character was actually myself.

The little white cat frowned, its fluffy round face full of confusion. "Why?"

"Of course we need to save the video footage and build a website to promote our duo!"

"Meow meow meow? The soft and adorable little kitten can't understand."

"First, the protagonist cannot completely abandon humanity and give up, otherwise the extinction of the human race will render everything meaningless; second, he must stand up with dignity and let everyone know that he is the one who helped you solve these dangers, that he is the one who carried the burden for you, and that you should be grateful!"

They work quietly behind the scenes all day long, but who knows how much the main character has contributed?

How will others know they should be grateful if you don't tell them?

Doing good deeds must be acknowledged, otherwise those shameless people in the church will reap the credit, and the main character will end up getting nothing after all their hard work.

The fluffy dumpling suddenly understood, "I get it! Host is indeed brilliant!"

When Li Moran heard that the weak and pitiful child was going to carry out a mission to eliminate a criminal gang, he was completely stunned.

How do you know where they are hiding?

"With things so chaotic outside, the church is now in complete retreat, like a frightened bird. How are you going to break through?"

"The criminal gangs you're planning to take down are among the most notorious in recent years, backed by the church. They're full of experts; how do you think you can possibly defeat them?"

…………

A barrage of questions was thrown at him, but Jiang Chen calmly answered with just one sentence: "I have money. I buy information and magic scrolls. Teleportation scrolls, sealing scrolls, holy light destruction scrolls, freezing scrolls, hellfire scrolls, and so on. They are all made by the highest-level archmages themselves. They are made with the finest materials, have no delays, and are convenient to use. They are truly essential for home, travel, and murder."

Li Moran: ヾ(．?﹏?)ノ?

No wonder I bought so many scrolls at the magic shop today!

So you're really going to throw money at it?!

"Hey, wait a minute..." In the moment of hesitation, the other person took out a high-level teleportation scroll, and with a flash of golden light, disappeared from the spot. Li Moran stretched out his hand to finish his sentence, "...Take me with you, at least if we can't win, we can escape..."

Oh shit, that kid is so reckless!

They are weak and pitiful without even realizing it. What should we do?

Chapter Ten: Being a hero is really tiring...

“I am Jiang Chen, the former civilian employee who was secretly implicated by the church's inquisition and charged with several serious crimes, including heresy, worship of evil gods, and traitor. I was wanted by the church’s inquisition.”

"It is now the 112th year of the Gregorian calendar, 8:30 pm on July 26th."

“I am currently deep within the Yapushi Mountains, a place notorious for its infamous Skeleton Hands. I have used the highest level of tracking magic to pinpoint their hideout and am ready to bring these heinous criminals to justice!”

“I once entrusted my faith and my mind and body to the church, thinking that my diligent dedication would bring a better future to the human world, just as they often proclaimed.”

"However, from the moment I was wanted by the church, I'm sorry to say that I have completely erased my former faith."

From this day forward, I, Jiang Chen, will only follow in the footsteps of those who commemorate these heroes, doing what I can to ensure the continuation and survival of humanity!

"I will dedicate all the energy I draw from heaven and earth to become the source of destruction against evil. May supernatural powers be with me!"

…………

After delivering a passionate and emotional performance in front of the camera, Jiang Chen, holding a holy sword, used a scroll to enhance special effects and make himself look sophisticated and holy.

Once he was ready, he casually waved his hand, and the Horcrux that had been inside, which was built against the mountain and was easy to defend and difficult to attack, blew a hole in it.

At the same time, various bright and complex runes lit up the entire valley floor, clearly indicating that the sudden attack had activated the various defensive magic arrays that the bandits had set up here.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The protective barrier has been breached! Enemies are attacking!"

"First rank, advance!"

…………

The bugle call to assemble the troops echoed from the network of caves deep in the mountains, and the guard squads, shielded by holy light, charged out.

The core of this group was originally a team formed by executors who had made mistakes within the church, so they naturally reacted quickly when their headquarters was suddenly attacked.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A rain of icy arrows, mixed with fiery projectiles that exploded upon impact, rained down from the various sentries, slamming into the ground and unleashing bursts of dazzling light with powerful magical effects, illuminating the night like day.

"Host, be careful! Those guys are rushing out!" The little white cat was so frightened that its fur stood on end. It squatted on his shoulder, clutching a spare tool, ready to pounce and save him at any moment.

However, something unexpected happened.

Under the effect of the Holy Light Scroll, the lens was filled with holy light, and the bursts of fire and ice blue were like fireworks with a filter effect, reduced to a background.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, wielding a sharp sword, emerged slowly from the light, like a god descending to earth.

With a flick of his left hand, he tossed out some kind of scroll, causing the superhumans who had hastily assembled and rushed out to counterattack to react a beat slower.

Jiang Chen swung his longsword in his right hand, and the bandits whose movements had been slowed down were sent flying one by one...

This battle will be a true test of acting skills.

The goal is to ensure that special effects can fool Li Moran, making him believe that he won by spending money;

In order to create a better visual effect, the fighting must be "difficult", "dangerous" and thrilling, so as to create a brand new image of a great, strong and blood-fighting hero in the minds of the people.

They also had to ensure that none of the hundreds of bandits escaped, wiping them out in one fell swoop.

After finally defeating the big boss, Oditch, the leader of the Skeleton Hand Bandit Gang, Jiang Chen leaned on his longsword, panting heavily for a moment. Only then did a relieved smile appear on his face, which was covered with blood and mottled burn marks. "I finally...did it!"

The fluffy dumpling wiped its eyes and showered the audience with compliments, "Host, you did a wonderful job! I was so moved."

Aww~ Especially that smile on his tired body and blood-stained handsome face, it was just perfect! So full of emotion and genuine feeling, this cute kitten is sending you a heart! Love you, muah~

Jiang Chen wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand and said in a slightly tired voice, "I can't rest yet. There are more important things to do next."

The skeleton hand has used every means to burn, kill, and plunder, undoubtedly amassing a considerable fortune. I need to find and inventory all this wealth, and then establish a charitable foundation to help those in need.

While the host was still putting on an act, dragging the long sword slowly into the depths of the tunnel, leaving a lonely yet tall silhouette in the camera's view, the money-grubbing fluffy ball took the lead.

Adhering to the principle of never making a losing deal, it thoroughly inspected the contents of the treasure vault beforehand before hopping over to guide its host.

The church took a share each month; the little white cat ransacked the place again, and by the time Jiang Chen "found" the treasure vault and violently pried it open, recording the entire process clearly, the wealth left behind by the skeleton hand was still quite considerable.

At the same time, he found the most important evidence—the ledgers and the roster.

The roster clearly records the origin of each superhuman—the year, month, and day, the reason for their transgression, their judgment that prevented them from remaining in the executor team, and their assignment by the church to serve in the Skull Hands.

The ledgers recorded the money obtained from each evil deed, as well as the amount of gold and silver handed over to the church's subordinate legions each month!

"I will continue my efforts and fight against the evil forces to the very end!" After collecting the spoils, Jiang Chen clenched his fist and cheered at the camera with a serious expression. Then he used a magic scroll to restore his status and teleported to the next harvest location.

This was the longest night Li Moran had ever experienced. Even when he had ventured into the abyss to kill strange creatures, he had never felt so restless.

Unable to contact the weak and pitiful child, and not even knowing where he was, Li Moran wondered more than once if he had already perished.

He felt guilty and remorseful whenever he thought of the handsome, young smiling face of his closest friend, whom he had only known for a short time.

"Jiang Chen, you must come back safely!"

Sitting on the balcony, watching the stars rise into the deep blue night sky and then gradually sink, as the eastern sky turned a pale, fish-belly white, Li Moran murmured to himself, "Our group hasn't even been named yet..."

As the sky grew brighter, Li Moran, who hadn't slept all night, had slightly red eyes. Suddenly, the call stone in his hand flashed twice, indicating a signal!

He hurriedly opened the caller ID and exclaimed, "Jiang Chen? Jiang Chen! Where are you right now? Come back quickly!"

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

The call to the magic stone signal seemed to be having some issues; after a few crackling sounds, intermittent voices could be heard from the other end.

"Being a hero is really not easy... I'm counting money until my hands cramp up... You can come next time... I'm so tired..."

Li Moran was completely bewildered. The voice did seem to be Jiang Chen's, but it was crackling and hard to make out what he was saying.

Could it be that being arrested is sending some kind of signal to itself?

If he imagined the worst, he would immediately become restless and hurriedly try to locate the specific position of the associated number by following the instructions Jiang Chen had taught him on how to use the calling magic stone.

Chapter Eleven: Judgment and Depravity

"Locking location..."

The circle on the magic stone spun and spun, and Li Moran was extremely anxious as he waited for only a few seconds.

"The associated target is... one meter away from you!"

Just as he was calling for the magic stone to remind him, he heard a muffled thud and suddenly saw a figure fall down in front of him.

"Jiang Chen!" Li Moran quickly helped him up, only to find that his body was covered in bloodstains, with occasional torn scratches on his white lace shirt, as well as black marks from smoke and fire.

With just one glance, he could tell that Jiang Chen must have gone through a very terrifying battle!

"How are you feeling? Are you hurt?"

The fluffy ball of fluff, holding its short, furry paws, grinned and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk, host, your acting skills are becoming more and more superb! You've even fooled the protagonist!"

"I'm fine, I'm just too tired."

Jiang Chen waved his hand weakly, barely straightened up, and said with a wry smile, "Sure enough, I overestimated my abilities and went a bit too far."

But thankfully, it turned out alright. I need to wash up and get a good night's sleep! Once I've rested and recovered, I'll tell you the details of what happened.

Li Moran checked on him with great concern and found that his teammate was only mentally exhausted and his superpowers were almost depleted, but his soul energy was still shining brightly and full of vitality.

"You're too young and impulsive! Luckily nothing serious happened. Go back to your room and get some rest. Next time, make sure to discuss things with me before you act."

Although I can't lay a hand on my own kind, if they wanted to kill you, I could at least save you! We're a team, and from now on, no one is allowed to act alone!

Did you hear me? Silly child!

Jiang Chen's lips twitched, but out of consideration for the fact that he was the main character and was indeed much older, he didn't argue and was forcibly dragged to his room.

"Hey, hey, hey? Why is he suddenly acting like a domineering CEO? Host, the protagonist's 'silly boy' line just now was so sweet~"

The little white cat's ears perked up, and it grinned mischievously. "The outline of this mission world is incomplete, and the protagonist doesn't seem to have any companions or confidantes."

"It's highly likely that no one has ever truly confided in him. It seems your role, Host, is about to shift from Best Supporting Actor to Best Male Confidant..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

After Li Moran finished giving his instructions, closed the door, and went back to his own room to rest, he jumped up and flicked the head of the grinning white cat, "Nonsense! How can two men be called 'male confidants'?"

"Stop fooling around and get down to business. I'm really tired from not sleeping all night, so I'm going to take a bath and get a good night's sleep. You need to keep an eye on the church headquarters, record what needs to be recorded, take what needs to be taken, and try to expose the corrupt church's shady dealings as soon as possible!"
