My Avatar Is Becoming The Ultimate Boss Chapter 878

[ … words ]

October 25, 2020, China, Li Jing, Ancient Yima District.

The weather has already turned to autumn, and the evening breeze is slightly cool. Even leaning against the window sill in the evening, you can’t hear the cicadas.

However, you can hear the rumble of trains thundering over the elevated bridges. Li Jing’s elevated railways are quite developed, and locals walking on the streets or alleys can just look up to see a steel dragon shuttling under the sky.

Ji Minghuan was playing with his phone while stepping over the fallen leaves on his way home.

The reason the Gu Family can live in the Old Jingmai District without any external disturbance, openly and uprightly, is because Ji Minghuan specially ran out in the middle of the night to have a meeting with senior officials of the United Nations.

Rather than politely calling it a meeting, it might be better described as catching them during their “bathroom breaks” and “afternoon tea” to say some “heartfelt” things.

The final outcome of this meeting was naturally obvious — an explosive star-level restricted monster was placed there, and they had no right to protest.

Thus, at Ji Minghuan’s friendly suggestion, the wanted statuses of Gu Qiye, Gu Zhuo Case, and Ayase Origami were canceled by the United Nations, and their wanted notices disappeared from the internet.

Meanwhile, “Extreme Ice Maiden” You Ruirui also conveniently exited Rainbow Wings using Ji Minghuan’s name. Previously, she had saved a considerable amount of money, enough for half a lifetime without needing extravagant expenses.

Just a few minutes ago, Ji Minghuan used the space ability of Machine No. 4 to fly to Iceland’s capital, all for picking up this Extreme Ice Maiden from Rainbow Wings.

The reason was You Ruirui suddenly texted Gu Qiye saying she might fly to China tonight to have a meal with Gu Qiye, but it depended on whether the flight timing worked out.

Gu Qiye was in the kitchen cooking at the time, wearing an apron. After seeing You Ruirui’s message, he leaned against the washbasin with his arms crossed, looking down with a slight smile.

He approached his phone and recorded a voice message, replying, “Why take a plane? My brother only needs five seconds to fly around the Earth to pick you up, and it’s free, economical travel.”

Ji Minghuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes at that time, thinking that this good brother really used him like a transportation tool.

But he was too nice to refuse.

After all, everyone at home still held grudges against him for things done during the “Black Cocoon” operation, such as “stimulating Dad with recordings,” “constantly using sarcasm on older brother and sister,” “knowing everyone’s identity yet not being straightforward.”

At that time, everyone sat around the dining table, carefully reviewing the behavior of the “Black Cocoon comrade,” exchanging grievances, with Ji Minghuan listening in embarrassment, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

Finally, led by Su Zimai and Kong Youling, everyone at home cast judgmental glances at Ji Minghuan.

Gu Qiye clearly wore a smile, but his eyes were cold as ice, forcing Ji Minghuan to flee the family meeting to the moon, staying there for four or five hours before coming back.

Overall, due to various reasons, Ji Minghuan’s household status is almost lower than Gu Zhuo Case now—one must know, if his status at home was less than the Horror Bell Tower Man, then it’s really a huge defeat in life.

But unfortunately, this is the situation Ji Minghuan finds himself in now.

He thinks if he ever has a reason to destroy the world in the future, it will surely be due to the low household status leading to constant oppression, a restricted-level youngster being arbitrarily commanded, a truly sad and lamentable thing.

Thus earlier, he was compelled to be sent by his brother to Iceland, spending a minute finding You Ruirui in Reykjavik, and bringing her back to China.

Now, the two are walking quietly on the way home, with no topics to discuss, so neither spoke.

After thinking for a while, You Ruirui asked expressionlessly:

“I still don’t quite understand, should I call you ‘Ji Minghuan’ or ‘Gu Wenyu’?”

“Call me whatever makes you happy, it’s all the same.” Ji Minghuan said, “In our house, there isn’t a fixed name, call it whatever you like.”

“True, I often hear you and Miss Su Zimai calling Mr. Gu Zhuo Case ‘Horror Bell Tower Man,’ and also calling your older brother ‘Lightning Squirrel.'”

You Ruirui was telling the truth; two weeks ago she visited Gu Qiye’s house as a guest. At that time, Su Zimai, Ji Minghuan, and Kong Youling were sitting on the floor playing “Mutant Alliance,” staring at the game’s characters, and saying things like “I’ll choose Lightning Squirrel,” “you’re not allowed to play Horror Bell Tower Man, too overpowered.”

The game’s characters are based on real superpower users, and they’ve played the criminal MOD, so there are forbidden characters like “Ghost Bell,” “Mu Long,” and “Black Cocoon.”

Actually, You Ruirui knows how to play this game too, but she simply watched silently.

Because she once played it with Gu Qiye on a plane, though at the time she didn’t know Ghost Bell was Gu Qiye’s father and thought Gu Qiye treated Ghost Bell as a psychological shadow, so she decisively chose the “Ghost Bell” character, letting Gu Qiye unleash his wrath.

And after knowing Ghost Bell’s identity, every time she thought of it, this Icelandic maiden would blush slightly, eventually losing the desire to touch the game again.

“We generally only call them that behind their backs, definitely don’t tell Dad or older brother,” Ji Minghuan said.
